Innocent Times

me to his bedsit. The only guy I have ever loved and still do.He betrayed me and now I was under his charm spell. His name was Dominic, and he was the son of the Demon King. I fell in love with him when I was only sixteen and he was twenty-one.
I first met Dominic when I was swimming by a waterfall in the enchanted forest of our realm, I loved swimming as it always relaxed me and whisked me away from knowing I was a princess to just feeling like a normal person. No one knew where I would disappear to, so I was always alone until that very day I met Dominic. I remember it so well as I had fallen completely in love with him but also it was like my heart was ripped out from my chest. I know it was crazy to fall in love with someone straight away but I had seen him often from a distance away when we had to visit each other’s kingdoms to keep up with our peace treaty. My Father had forbidden me to speak with him and from the way Dominic always distant himself from me, I believed his Father had done the same about me. On this very day, I had just had a fallout with my father as he wanted to organise an arranged marriage for me to marry a nobleman of our people but I was not having any of this. I had lost my mother when I was a baby and I was not prepared at the tender age of sixteen to have my life planned by the king. The argument was that heated he threw his drinking glass of wine in my direction which only just missed me by an inch, things went too far that day and I ended up running out the kingdom to my secret location in the enchanted forest. It was such a beautiful and magical forest, it sparkled in the creases of the sunlight. If you looked close enough, you could see the forest fairies fluttering around. I always felt so safe and tranquil here. I ran as fast as I could to the waterfall, I wiped my teary-eyed cheeks and gazed down at the stream to my reflection, my Unicorn hair had changed to one colour, blue which was a sign of sadness. I gazed further down the stream in the waterfall's direction and wished for my father to change his mind. Rumour has it that the waterfall possessed magical wishing powers, so on this very day I had hoped my wish would come true.
I removed my gown and undergarments to take a swim to help relax my mind, I stepped into the cool flowing water that felt so soothing against my pale white skin. I had noticed by my reflection that my hair turned back to the original multiple colours that it should be. I took a few steps further into the water to my waist when I heard a branch snapping, worrying that someone had seen me as I was, I turned around towards the direction of the sound and quickly gathered my hair to cover my chest. “Who goes there?” I yelled, and hoping it was just my imagination from the start. From behind a nearby bush Dominic appeared wearing only a pair of shorts, I felt my insides burn up with embarrassment and yet I could not take my eyes off him. His skin was tanned so nicely as though he spent most days sunbathing, my eyes wondered along his ripped chest and torso. You could tell he was the son of the Demon King.
“Oh Dominic, my lord, please forgive me. I am not dressed appropriately for your presence.” I had never said a word to him before and this was all I could scrabble out to him, I would have been surprised if he understood a word I had just said to him.
“Princess Grace, please, it should be myself apologising to you. I should not be spying on you.”
Dominic spying on me? Really? How did he know where I was and I wondered if there had been many times he had watched me from this same spot every time I came here and seeing me swim? I turned my head away from him, feeling so ashamed of myself and for being so careless for not double checking I was alone. He walked right over to the edge of the stream, I felt his presence close by to me but I still could not look at him.
“Please princess, please do not look away from me, I am sorry I have startled you.” His voice sounded so gentle and soothing.
“I am sorry my lord, I can’t. I feel so embarrassed right now.”
“I will close my eyes so you can dress again.”
As promised he did so, I kept my gaze onto him whilst I reached for my over coat just to cover myself, he didn’t peak at me or so I thought he didn’t. The water dripped from my cool flesh.
“My lord, you can now open your eyes.”
He slowly opened up his eyelids and revealed the colour of hazelnut brown eyes, I could feel myself being drawn into his gaze. He was even more handsome up close. I forgave him for spying on me, as we got chatting to each other I discovered he had also found this same spot and it was here that he also had to clear his mind, from knowing he was of royalty and wanted to feel like he was a normal person, the same reasons why I came here. That afternoon I had learnt so much about the Demon Prince, he was in the process on purchasing a place to stay in the mortal realm as he wanted to live there for a bit whilst his services weren’t required in the kingdom of the Demon People. But he
