Lilith’s eyes widened in shock – not knowing if she should slap him or clutch him nearer to her. She could not believe he was doing this... again! This rouge was once again stealing a kiss from her! She truly ought to teach him a lesson.
Fortunately for Kyle, he pulled away – before Lilith could do anything – looking surprised at his own actions as much she was. But after blinking at her a couple of times, there was no regret nor apology in his eyes. Instead, his grey eyes that were framed with heavy black lashes glimmered, eliciting something like a swift sting in her heart followed the quickening of her heartbeat.
Staring straight into the bright pool of quicksilver that were her eyes, Kyle’s fingers lightly touched the side of her face, causing Lilith’s heart to pump even harder.
"I want to kiss you, may I?" this time, he played the role of a prince properly and asked. His voice sounded deeper than she remembered, it was more pleasing and impossibly gripping now. When and where did he learn to speak like this? And more importantly, why was he asking this embarrassing question when he had already played the role of the bandit earlier and kissed her?
Lilith remembered that day. The very first time he had kissed her, it was a stolen kiss, but the second time, similarly, he had asked for permission. Now, here he is doing the exact same thing as before. Was this prince doing this on purpose? He truly was able to press the right buttons to irritate her and cause her to melt too. How annoying and mind boggling.
Before Lilith could speak, he drew his fingertips to her mouth, causing her to swallow her words. He could only chuckle as he saw her eyes spit silver flames, irritated at him cutting her off again. And then, he gently stroked her lips, his face leaning over again. "No?" he whispered though his face was already moving closer and closer that she could feel his breath fanning over hers.
Her lips parted and trembled a little against his finger. The power of speech suddenly abandoning her, no, he was taking it away from her. Her eyes were a pair of limpid pool gazing upwards, looking at his face, causing his heart to skip more than a beat. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Just once Lilith..." he said, breathless and pleading. The glitter in his eyes making her unable to look away and think. And then she nodded. Why? Why can’t she say no to him?
His mouth came swooping down onto hers almost abruptly, as soon as she nodded at him. His hand slid to the back of her neck, grasping lightly to support the weight of her head as well as pulling her deeper into the kiss.
Lilith pulled away from Kyle’s embrace. She could not let this tryst continue anymore. How could they indulge in something as light-hearted as when they were still in this situation?
"Y-you said..." she finally managed to say. Her voice sounded raspy because she was still unable to recover from their kiss. "You’ll bring me to My Queen." She finally choked out.
Kyle seemed to snap back to reality, and he rubbed the back of his neck with his palm a little sheepishly. "Right, I have to bring you to her." He said and then he took a deep breath.
Before he could attempt to touch her and lift her, Lilith moved away and flashed him a small smile. "I’ll follow right behind you." she said, unable to maintain eye contact. She realized this vampire prince was dangerous for her. She could not let herself get anymore distracted than she already was at this moment any longer. And the best way to keep her head on straight was not to let him touch her.
Thankfully, Kyle seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation and he did not insist anymore. He nodded at her and then leapt away as Lilith followed him.
