"Good morning, Captain"- Snow said when Killian came to the living room where she was having tea with her husband and daughter
"Your majesties"- he said back and turned –"Princess" – trying really hard not to smile too big
"Captain"- Emma said smiling, she couldnt help it – "Did you sleep well"- she asked and really she was getting sick to have to fake those stupid questions because she damn knew how he slept last night, his body pressed against hers.
After that first night, she couldnt stop herself from sneaking out her room and going to their secret place, Killian didnt like it much first but after a few nights, sleeping apart was not possible anymore. Killian would get out of his room and knock her room´s door 3 times so she knew she had to wait 10 or 15 minutes to go the stables (she never waited more than 12), she would take a horse, not hers just in case someone saw it out, and go around to find him in another horse, riding alone in the dark wasnt safe for a princess and him as a gentleman waited for her to go to their place together.
They would lay in bed talking and laughing, and fantasized about going way, adventuring together, sailing for months and even how it would be living on the castle, Killian being a prince, her prince, ruling the kingdom together, her parents and the whole town reaction if- when they find out about them,they always dream about a future together, prince and princess or pirates life until they fall asleep, everynight. It felt so amazing to share this feeling with him, she was just Emma, not the princess acting in a proper way. It was like if she was getting to know herself, she allowed herself to dream and to tell what crossed her mind without fear, he made her feel that way, he made her happy.
"Very well, theres nothing like having a very warm bed to sleep, i must confess"- he said looking at her and she knew he wasnt talking about the real bed and made her blush a little
"Well Jones, i heard the person we talked about is in the town now, you shoud go to check it"- Charming said
"Okay, on it then. Until later"- Killian said to them, the last person looking at Emma and he walked out
"Oh, if you excuse me"-Emma said and stoop up "I will be right back, im gonna get some water"- and she moved.
She found him leaving in hallway and pushed him against a wall, hiding to the view
"So you are leaving?"- she said, her body pressed against him
"Yeah, i will be back later, beautiful. worry not"- he said and peck on her lips
"Promise?"- she said unsure
"On my heart, princess" and he kissed her
"I will miss you, very much. Come back to me soon, please?"- she said after breaking apart
"As soon a possible. Miss me, love. I will be thinking of you"- he kissed her again and left
-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-
"I heard you were back, why it took you so long?"- she said before kissing him hard, she did miss him
"mmm, i had something to take care off. I thought you were busy with your mother and friends"- he said, trying to recover his breath
"Yeah, but nothing is more important than you. I waited the whole morning and missed you at lunch"- she told him, while touching his lips
"Missed me that much, princess? I knew i was very irresistible but you suprise me"- he teased
"Dont try to hide that you miss me too. You did, right?"- she asked unsecure of his answer, silly her
"Every minute, love"- and he kissed her, trying for her to feel it
"I love you, Killian"- she said smiling and snuggled into his neck, feeling his warm body against hers. She couldnt believe how good it felt, and how much she actually loved him. God! This would be such mess when people find out about them. The princess and the pirate but she loved him and she wouldnt want it any other way but sometimes it was scary but what it scared her the most, was how much she needed him, just like then, he was out for 5 or 6 hours and she felt like counting the minutes for his come back, she knew there was not turning back for what she felt, and just thinking about being away from him, not seeing him or touching him anymore killed her inside. She would rather to die before letting that happening, she would never let that happen.

8 days later, they were having lunch. Emma sitting beside him on the table touching his hand as much she could, trying to hide the blushing, when they heard some noises coming from the front .
"Someone is coming"- Charming said and they all went to check on it, Killian was the last one feeling this might not be good.
"Graham! You got his earlier!" Snow said, going to hug him "Its so good to see you"- she was really happy
"Its nice having you back, son"- Charming said, shaking his hand
"Princess"- Graham said, smiling at Emma, who unintentionally took a step back when she first saw him and turned around searching for Killian but he wasnt there.
"Its nice to see you again, Graham"- she said smiling, because it was, its not like she hates him or something. He was nice and a good person and this wasnt his fault, it isnt like he chose to marry her either way and certainly not his fault that his betrothed had fallen for certain dashing pirate.
Graham took her hand and kissed it, making Emma give him a little smile and thats exactly when Killian walked throught the opened door. Emma turned to look at him and she made Graham let go of her hand right away
"Graham"- Charming said- "This is Captain Killian Jones, he is working with us for a very important mission for this kingdom"- "Killian this is..."
"The princess´s betrothed"- he finished and looked at Emma and said " Your highness"
"You are a... a pirate"- Graham said, not sounding too happy about it
"Yes, he is staying here with us"- Emma said, faking a smile at him
"I will let you do and be back later"- Killian said and walked away
"Lets go inside"- Charming told them and Graham took some of his stuff, giving time for Emma to walk after Killian
"Killian"- she said softly, after stopping him by grabbing his arm
"Go back to your duties, princess"- he said and walked away
