It's all her mother's ploy to ease up the marriage, because that dude is the prince from the other neighborhood. Also, I wasn't prepared for the smut, an surprise indeed, but a welcome one.
Hmm this is interesting. I was surprised by Lucius' reaction when Alicia agreed though I can't put my finger on why he would be mad she agreed to his deal.
Love the smut and looking forward to Lucius' monologue or backstory so we can get a full picture
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming
