Tamera and Diego had stayed out late the night before. Diego was irked that she had taken him before he could tell Tia good bye. He soon forgot about that because Tamera took him to her bed and he was a damned happy camper after that.

They couldn't eat breakfast since he was a former palace servant and it was illegal to have Underclasses at the dining table with Royals.

"Diego, did you know you're the first guy who I can remember the name of?" she asked looking into his beautiful honey hazel eyes.

"Is that good?" he smiled and pulled her close to him.

"It's very good," she smiled and kissed his nose.

He laughed and got out of her sheets and pulled on his covering.

"Where are you going?" she asked with pouting lips.

He shrugged his massive shoulders and yawned.

"I'm not finished with you yet Diego Mantchua," she teased and wrapped the covers around her body.

"Can you hurry up because I've got to go get a job. Besides I'm an escaped lockee, I'll get in trouble if I stay around here with you," he said as she swayed closer to him.

Having Tamera Almengod in a male's presence was like eucalyptus oil and fire...the oil would always tempt the fire to it. Tamera's beauty was exhilarating and addicting. She was the very possession that all men craved. And she knew it.

He watched her hips swing and her mouth smile hungrily at him. He realized then he was a possession that she craved...and he could use that as an advantage.

"You are awesome," Diego said and grabbed her into a bear hug.

She giggled but then a thought occurred to her.

"Diego, you're an Underclass right?" she said to make sure.

"Yes. Is that going to effect our relationship?" he smiled teasingly.

"You said, that the one performing girl at Chaiha heights used to be your best friend?"

Diego nodded.

"Well then, how did you become best friends with a Royal when you were young if all our mothers restricted our friends to the same class?" Tamera asked.

"Excuse me?" Diego asked confused.

"That girl, she's a Royal isn't she?" Tamera said.

"No she's not," Diego objected. Tamera smiled.

"Are you telling me everyone thinks that Tia Larque is a Royal?" he asked with wide eyes.

"Honey, only Royals are allowed in that club we were in last night. Are you saying that the performer is an Underclass?"

"I was there and I'm Underclass," Diego said.

"It was illegal but we got away with it," Tamera smiled. "Do you know the penalty for an Underclass pretending to be a Royal?"

Diego shook his head, he didn't want to know the answer.

"Banishment," the ugly word spilled out of the beautiful mouth.

"So if Tia is caught...?"

Tamera nodded her head.

"You won't tell anybody will you?" Diego asked with raw worry.

"As long as you stay with me," Tamera had trapped him.

So much for his 'advantage'.
