Lilith couldn’t help but gape at him again. While Lilith was still in a daze and at a loss for words, Kyle slowly but naturally stretched out his hand to tuck some strands of her unruly red hair that had gone rouge to the back of her ear. What he did made her eyes grow wide and then, out of the blue, her palms made a sound as they landed on both sides of his cheeks, effectively giving him something between a slap and squeeze of his cheeks between her hands.
"If you think your cheesy lines will make me stay with you, then you’re wrong. Those words of yours just makes people feel more embarrassed and want to hide their faces, and that is about it. So stop..." Lilith trailed off because for the first time, the vampire showed her a really bemused expression. His expressive eyes even flashed such a strong displeasure after hearing all that she had said.
Blinking, Lilith nibbled on the inside of her lower lip, not knowing what else to say or add to express her stand.
"Why don’t you believe me?" he asked, his expression serious, his voice sounding exasperated.
Lilith eased back, about to pull her hands away from his face, but Kyle grabbed her wrists, stopping her movements and keeping her palms there on his cheeks. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Answer me. Can you tell me why you don’t believe me?" he probed, and Lilith’s eyes was focusing on everything and looked everywhere but his face.
"Well, because... I’m a witch and we just met a while ago... we’re just strangers."
"N-nothing," she lied. She wasn’t sure what to say to him.
"You look like you’re thinking something complicated." His voice became light and chilly again as he spoke with a smile playing at the corner of his lips. "It’s fine, you don’t have to think any longer on the matter. Even if I’m just a stranger to you, I still like you."
This time, Lilith choked. She really couldn’t take the way this vampire deals and speaks with her. Every time he opens his mouth and say something, her entire system would short-circuit and malfunction. His words and actions pulled at her on all sides and confuses her. It felt as if she were a small boat without and oar that is being tossed about in the stormy seas. She really did not know if this little boat – namely, her – would be able to survive more tossing and turning of the waves which was this little highness the vampire prince.
Suddenly, he was next to her, looking worried. His hand in mid-air but it seemed he didn’t know where to touch. "Are you okay?"
