"If not then hold my hand and kiss again. You are the one who is to decide, whether you want to give death or life."
"........" even blinking startled, she hadn't thought that he would express himself that way. He was not that kind of man who was ever serious or intense.
That role suited Leo better. He was like her, the one who lives in clouds.
They were blunt and humorous. Always hiding their strong emotions in jokes and expressing them in a light way that makes others relax around them.
Speaking such intense words that burden others was not his way to express love, yet she felt touched and moved.
Her heart desired to fulfill his wish of kissing him. His lips were looking enticing. The taste of cinnamon and spices filled her mouth when she recalled the way she had kissed him forcefully in the garden.
The way he had started at her without blinking with a dazed look was sothing she could never forget.
She felt him covering the distance between them. His body was already touching hers yet he continued to lean closer to her body until it was completely pressed on hers.
She had no escape with a strong wall being her and his hands were trapping her from both sides.
"Never even in a joke, you would never say that you would leave alone." he demanded in an intense voice but beneath that fiery look, she could see him trembling. She could feel the shaking of his shoulders through his touch.
Was he… scared of losing her? The thought affected her more than he could thought as the cold from her eyes started dissipating.,
"You know, I have waited for a long ti to et you again. That ti, I was bound with so many things that I felt suffocated so I ran away from the palace.
I felt like I would drown under the burden of being like my brother. But then I t you..
I only wanted to mock your empire by asking for your help. How great it would be when the daughter of a duke would help in hiding when the emperor was helping my father in finding and then sending back to him.
But your liveliness, your smile was so addicting. I did not realize when I started to carve for it, I started waiting, so that you would co and smile while sitting beside when we talk about nonsensical things.
Most of the sa people could not understand what we were talking about.
But with you, even the most foolish thing looks so perfect to do as if i always wanted to do it since the start.
With you, I did not need to hide myself and I know even if it would be the most nonsensical thing, you will understand it perfectly.
I know that I have hurt you with my lack of action but I did not want to make half -hearted promises.
I wanted to be worthy of you before proposing to you. I should have explained better but I thought when it cos to you, you will understand no matter what happens.
I was wrong! And I am ready to bear its consequences but I have only one request.
Do not refuse Evelyn, I know that you love too or you would have already thrown away." he choked in between when his heartfelt words ca out through his mouth.
He was looking so scared like a kid who was getting abandoned that she felt a string was pulled. She felt like she would not be able to bear it if he would be hurt further.
Before she could think further, her hands were already holding him back, wrapped around his neck and pulling her closer for a kiss.
His soft breaths were caressing his skin for a long ti. She could not bear the temptation anymore.
She was not like a weak woman who would shy away while waiting for her lover to take the initiative. If she wanted a kiss, she would have it without a question.
His lips smashed on hers while his eyes widened with surprise. He was afraid that she would push him away but happiness ca so suddenly that he was not able to react on ti.
He could feel how her lips were touching his softly while she pried to open his lips. He could see a frown forming on her face and she was about to bite him when he opened it willingly, surprising her.
Their lips started to explore each other's mouth. Playing the ga of tag, this ti both were active participants in it.
Equally demanding, equally ravenous, they both were hungry for each other's touch.
If he would hold her dress tightly, her nails dug deep into his shoulders. If he used light force to touch beneath her collarbones, her hands were already inside his shirt.
She was so damn demanding and so damn clear about it that he felt like she was a magnet that was pulling him closer to her more and more.
Her actions were so fiery and so strong as if she knew what she needed and how to get it.
Their strong actions turned everything blurry around them that they forgot they were still standing in the dining room and had asked the servants to serve a al.
The sound of whispers and shrieks could not reach their ears as they were so lost in each other's touch.
The falling of dishes and then gasps of the maids. The sound of running footsteps and then more footsteps coming closer, everything turned chaotic around them but the lost soul only heard it when they felt themselves pulling apart from each other.
With a frown when they looked back, their eyes widened,
"What kind of behavior is that? Do you have no sha? And you who the hell are you and what are you doing in my place?"
