His arms around me were so warming and comforting. I felt safe and at home. Eventually, we walked out of the garden and back towards the castle but I wasn't ready to go back. I didn't want to go back. I wanted to spend more time alone with the man that I loved.
That I loved. It felt good even to think it. I really did love Daniel and he really was the one for me. "So," I began to say. "What are we to do next? What else is there to do?" But before he could say something, in the distance I heard a horse nay as well as a whip. This was really not sticking with me. With my hand still in his, I ran to where the noise was coming from.
A wild stallion was running all around in a fenced off area. Several men were trying to train the wild stallion but it wasn't working. One of them even had a whip but, thankfully, they weren't using it on the horse. Finally, the men noticed us and bowed to Daniel. "You're majesty." The guy with the whip said.
"I'm gonna have to get used to that." I muttered to myself and walked up to the men. "Do you think I could try?" I asked and the man nodded and tried to hand the whip but I didn't need it. Instead, I grabbed an apple from the man's lunch and climbed over the fence.
The stallion watched me approach him. It wasn't two seconds before he immediately began to charge. Quickly, I ran back to the fence and jumped over the fence. Daniel looked worried but I was determined. I began to climb the fence again but Daniel grabbed my shoulder. "I'll be fine. I promise." I kissed him gently and turned back to the horse. "Alright, tough guy, or horse. Let's do this." The stallion watched me with as I raised up the apple. "Do you want this?" Slowly, I pulled my legs over the fence but just sat there. "Well, come and get it."
The horse paced back forth, steadily, as he stared at the apple. "Come on." I egged on. For more than half and hour the horse slowly moved toward me. A few times he even backed away but finally he was right in front of me. Sniffing the apple. Suddenly, I felt gentle hands on my sides. I knew it was Daniel and knew he was ready to pull me if the horse went wild again. "It's ok." I whispered to both of them. The stallion tried to take a bite of it but as it did so, I pulled it to me so I could pet him.
The horse took the apple but didn't move away. Instead, he watched me stroke him on the nose. "See? It's all about patience." I smiled.

Elane nodded and took James' hand again. "Oddly enough, yes. And I promise I won't tell anyone. Except Sophie of course. There's no way I'm keeping this from Sophie." She exclaimed.

Daniel smiled and nodded. “I know, I just wanted more time now.” He said then held onto her hand gently, running his thumb over her hand softly. As they walked, he too could feel that someone was watching them but it suddenly seemed to disappear. This was of course, because Carolina had gone off to explain her plan to the Queen.
When they were half-way down the hallway, back inside the castle, Daniel was suddenly pinned to the ground before he could answer her question about the horses. “Hah! I told them I’d get to you first!” His brother Edward said laughing hard. Daniel blinked then looked hurt. “Betting with out me? I’m hurt…” He said then laughed a little. “Quite a stunt you pulled, bro. Mum threw a huge fit and father seemed to… Well, he was actually pretty happy about it.” He said smirking then got off of his brother and helped Daniel up.
His other brother, Erik had come up next to Sophie and smirked. “If she’s not taken, I’m so bringing her to France with me.” He said and Daniel narrowed his eyes. “Oh! So this is the ‘commoner’ that mum has been so upset about!” He said and Daniel narrowed his eyes more. “Oh calm down, you know I don’t agree with her.” He took Sophie’s hand then kissed it. “Pleasure to meet you miss.” He said. “The name’s Erik, oldest of the three brothers of Wales.” He nodded once then motioned to the other brother who had his arm around Daniel’s shoulders. “And that’s Edward, no need getting to know him.” He joked and Edward rolled his eyes.
Daniel laughed a little then wiggled out of his brother’s grip then took his spot next to Sophie again then took her hand once more. “This is Sophie.” He said then smiled happily. “Oh dear. We’ve lost our brother to the devastating plague otherwise known as love…” Edward said dramatically then laughed. “You’re one to speak. How’s Evelyn?” Daniel asked curiously and Edward said, “Great as usual. I’m going to ask her the big question soon.”
Erik smirked and asked, “What, ‘Am I sexy?’” Daniel started to laugh and Edward rolled his eyes. “Hah hah, No! The other one, idiot.” He shook his head then said, “I told her I’d meet her quick before dinner so I shall see you both later.” He said then nodded to them both and disappeared. “Well, I should go too and leave you two alone. See you later.” He said then winked at Sophie just to piss Daniel off then took off down the hall.
[And again, because I'm bored, I'm going to find their pics. ^.^ Just check the front page to see if I have them up yet or not lol]

Daniel laughed and nodded. “That sounds good. Though, I’d be a little afraid to see what would happen if they did get together.” He said giving a fake shudder. He laughed a little more then smiled as he continued to hold her hand as they walked.
“Really, don’t bother with my mother. It doesn’t matter what anyone but we think anyways. But, if my father agrees, then we’re in the clear.” He pointed out then smiled again. He continued to lead her down the hallway then stopped in front of a big door. “This is my room.” He said smirking a little then pushed open the door and pulled her inside, shutting it behind them.
He too, was a little worried about how they would make this work. He couldn’t stay away from his royal duties for too long, no matter how much he wanted to. He was, after all, the one becoming the next king. It had been decided awhile ago, him being the most… mature out of the boys.
He pulled her over to his bed then sat down, pulling her onto his lap. “Having fun so far?” He asked curiously. He was going to make sure that everything she did was fun and that she enjoyed it.

"Hey no fair. You're room is bigger than mine." I whined but then thought that was a stupid thing to say. "Then again, you do live here." I added. He pulled me onto his lap as he had sat on the bed and wrapped his arms around my waist. I draped an arm around his shoulder. "Of course I'm having fun."
Since we were in his bedroom, I figured this was the time to play with his head. At least for the moment. "So, are you hinting at something? Me. In your bedroom. On your bed. With you." I playfully gasped. "Prince Daniel. I'm surprised you would even think such a thing." His shocked expression along with embarrassment was too priceless.
"I'm kidding, honey. It was a joke." I laughed and kissed him softly. "All in good fun. I couldn't help myself I'm sorry. Anyway, what about you? How are you holding up with all of this?" I asked.
So the king was the only one I had to worry about. Not too bad seeing as I grew up around men. Of course, none of them happened to be the king of Wales but still. At least, I thought I knew. But if he was anything like Daniel, I'm sure it would have been a breeze.
Even as I sat there, talking with him, I could barely keep my thoughts on anything but us. Where our life would go. What would lie in the future for us. And even, how long would it last? Could Daniel and I really stay together though I was just a commoner from Texas? It was hard to tell but I didn't want to lose him. Not in anyway. I needed to talk to Elane but she could wait. Right now, I was with the most incredible man. Even after meeting his brothers, I still felt like I was home. They were just like mine and exactly what I needed to help me not feel home sick.
Everything in the castle was gorgeous and beautiful but none of it could compare with Daniel. His hold on me was tight and secure. Like he never wanted to let me go. Not that I minded of course.

We could stay. There was no doubting it. We could actually stay and everything would be fine. At least for now. We still didn't know what his father was to think of us. More especially, me. After all, I was just an American girl who grew up on a farm and danced on a bar to earn a living. I knew what it was like to plant something and grow. To survive on very little and still be happy. Even when we didn't have anything.
We had grown up differently and, yet, somehow, our worlds collided. Bringing us together and forming a love not even the Gods could destroy. And when he said he loved me for the second time, my heart was fluttering like a little bird. I wanted to shout praises to the sky. Even his soft kisses to my head were special to me.
I playfully slapped him on the back of the head. "Goodness, gracious. Royalty or not, you men are all the same." I laughed. Daniel laughed along with me, though when I tried to get up to sit on the bed, he kept me down on his lap. "I'm just going to sit on the bed." I told him but no matter how hard I tried, I was stuck. "Daniel!" I laughed but he kept his grip tight. "Daniel," I began to warn. "darling, need I remind you that I grew up with all boys? I can take you on and you'll lose this fight eventually."
