Excerpt: "Wait, before we do anything there is something that I must tell you," she said. He looked at her with anticipation and she continued, "My first kiss was stolen two years ago, by a boy who I thought was my friend. He was the only person that spoke to me when I first moved into the palace when I was fourteen. I know that isn't what you want to hear, as you should be my first in everything. And for that I am truly sorry but I thought that you should know." He smirked at her and lifted his mask causing her to feel light-headed as a flood of emotions hit her hard. Author's Note: Who is speaking? Why is he wearing a mask? What caused her light-headedness? Will he accept her still? All these questions and more would be answered in Arranged Aristocracy.
