"What the heck!" Brione burst and mindlessly turned her head.
She froze… Not breathing at all.
Her lips had touched Cedric's chin.
*Click *Click *Click
The fast shuttering of the cara seed to be in unison with the thumping of Brione's heart. Realizing what just happened, Brione quickly turned her head back to the front.
"I see… It seems that you like kissing instead of getting kissed by ," Cedric teased.
She touched her lips and whispered, "What just happened?"
"You kissed ," Cedric whispered near her ear.
Her face soured as she scoffed, "You call that a kiss?!"
"Well, though you did kiss on my chin it's still a kiss, right? But if you feel it's not, I can give you a better kiss if you turn again. Let's make it right this ti and kiss you on the lips directly," he whispered seductively in her ear making Brione flinch.
She had a fear of kissing on the lips. She could manage to do a kiss on the cheeks but never on the lips! Just imagining kissing soone on the lips would make her vomit!
"Sweetheart, are you with ? Should we make it right? I am ready to kiss you anyti, anywhere," Cedric continued to flirt when she remained silent.
She scoffed and mumbled, "I told you, I want to live a long life. You are cursed, aren't you? So I won't take that risk."
She then heard Cedric's loud laughter from behind her. Oh, how she wanted to turn her head and witness it but she would rather not. She was afraid that their lips would touch if she moved carelessly!
"This forest seems boundless. Have you road the whole area?" Brione asked, trying to change the topic.
"Hmm, not completely, but I've been to nice areas. Don't worry, I will show it all to you," Cedric answered.
"Won't we get lost?" Brione kept the conversation going to distract herself from what she was feeling. Cedric's closeness and the intimacy between them were causing butterflies in her stomach which was a new feeling for her.
"Why do you worry so much? Trust we won't get lost. Besides, I have my people look over us in case we do get lost," Cedric nonchalantly said.
"So there is a possibility of us getting lost?" Brione questioned followed by a scream and a closing of her eyes in startle and fear when Cedric suddenly reigned Blaze to run fast.
"Relax, I'm holding you," she heard Cedric whisper. She unconsciously hugged Cedric's arm to feel safer. After riding for a while the horse started slowing down before stopping.
Upon seeing her still closing her eyes, Cedric said, "You can open your eyes now". When she opened her eyes the sight in front of her made her gasp.
They had stopped in front of the most fascinating tree Brione saw her whole life. It was otherworldly! The tree resembled a huge umbrella, as the leaves only grow at the end of branches, pointing upwards. (E/N: Google Dragon's Blood Tree for reference)
"I've never seen such huge a tree," Brione exclaid.
Cedric got down and secured Blaze first before he signaled Brione to co down. She was too excited and almost jumped off Blaze but Cedric caught her, wrapping his arms on her waist.
"Careful!!" Cedric chided. His face was so close to Brione that he was very tempted to kiss her and taste her heart-shaped lips.
"Can I kiss you?" Cedric asked.
Brione reflexively said, "No!"
She saw Cedric heave a long sigh before he finally let her go and declare, "Alright, I will just make you ask for it I guess."
"Huh?" Brione breathed, trying to bring her heartbeat back to a normal rate. She ignored him and grabbed her mobile phone and started taking a selfie instead.
"This tree doesn't have a na yet as I couldn't think of a good na," Cedric comnted.
"Oh, it's a new discovery! Can I na it? I will think of a good na and let you know as soon as I decide," Brione excitedly said.
"Sure and I will reward you with a kiss if the na you suggested is good," Cedric casually replied.
"Ah, stop with the kissing topic. You're ruining my mood!" Brione scolded with a pout. Cedric chuckled, enjoying her cute expression.
Cedric looked at his watch and said, "Two more hours before lunch. Co and take walk with . I will introduce you to my friends."
"Friends inside the forest? Are they fairies?" Brione asked in jest.
"Hmm, they have saved my life so for they are considered as fairies…" Cedric said aningfully.
"Seriously?!" Brione exclaid.
"Yeah, it happened a year ago. If not for them, I would definitely be dead," Cedric opened up.
Brione got curious and wanted to know more about it so she asked, "Why? What happened?"
"Hmm. I will tell you so other ti," Cedric answered plainly. He wanted her to spend almost all of her ti together with him so he decided to let Brione get curious about a lot of things about him. He would take advantage of her curiosity and make her fall for him.
Brione's mouth twitched hearing his plain answer. She knew that if she asks more, this cunning Prince would definitely use it to his advantage and get sothing from her in return.
She inhaled and exhaled loudly and instead of asking and worrying about him, she decided to enjoy the fresh air and scent of the trees, leaves, and flowers around her.
"Co with ," Cedric said, grabbing Brione's hand as he led the walk. Then after so ti, he stopped at a spot and howled.
"Hey, are you calling wolves? Why are you howling? Stop it! That's scary!" Brione scolded him and she was about to nag so more but halted after seeing the white and black wolves approach them.
'Oh my God! They are real wolves?'
She imdiately hid behind Cedric's back and unconsciously clenched her hand on his shirt scrunching it.
