He gazed into her eyes that imdiately shied away from him, and a red tint appeared on her cheeks and ears. His gaze then moved to her lips. The way she was chewing her lower lip, he was becoming tempted to touch them, and that’s exactly what he did.
He rubbed her lower lip with his thumb before raising his gaze to her eyes. She imdiately looked away as soon as her eye t him.
Seeing her acting so timid and bashful, Sebastian wondered what she would do when she found she tried to kiss him in her sleep. And if it hadn’t been for the mask, it would’ve beco their first kiss.
Sebastian grabbed her cheeks between his thumb and index finger, making her look at him from under her lashes.
She was flushed. There was no doubt about it. The way the prince looked at her with so much emotion today made her ecstatic, and she wanted to look into his eyes forever. She wanted to touch his face and let him see into her eyes.
She wanted to show him that she was affectionate to him and had taken him as one of her only alive family mbers after her father, that he ant sothing to her, and she was willing to change and do anything to gain his trust.
With a little courage, she finally raised her hand and was about to cup his cheeks when he suddenly held her hand, shocking her.
She looked away timidly, afraid she made a mistake.
"I... I am -" Elliana couldn’t complete her words because the next thing she knew, the prince placed her hand on his chest, right above his heart.
He unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt, his gaze moving from her eyes not even once as he had done in the room, and she tried to take advantage of the situation. He wanted her to be aware of everything she was doing.
So now, he wanted her to place her hand on his chest while her eyes were wide open. She looked at him with wide eyes.
His gaze didn’t move from her face which was reddening with every passing second, and the more he looked, the more he wanted to tease her.
He was amazed at how innocently seductive she looked from up this close. Her rosy lips were parted slightly because of the shock of what he was doing. Her eyes were wide and hooded because she was trying to steal looks at him and her heartbeat at the pace of a fast drum.
"You are beautiful," Sebastian said when she looked back into his eyes, and she smiled before blinking.
However, her smile imdiately froze when Sebastian placed her hand under his shirt, and as if soone had electrocuted her, she jerked her hand away from him with wide eyes and her heart beating even faster.
"Mr. Marino, this is not right. This is -" She stuttered.
"Why? Why is it not right? Why is it wrong if I am placing my wife’s hand over my chest to let her feel my heart?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana bit her lower lip.
"I... It’s inappropriate because we are in the living room. What will people think of it? They will think their prince is shaless and -"
"And for so reason, you think I care about all that because?" He grabbed her chin, raising her head and rubbing her lips, making her blush.
"This reminds . Why didn’t you pick up your call today? I know you weren’t in the University at that ti since you bought these clothes for yourself," Sebastian asked, and Elliana gulped.
"I... I was eting a friend," she said after thinking for a long ti, and Sebastian imdiately knew she was hiding sothing.
Blue, who entered the hall and saw this almost explicit scene, widened her eyes and turned away from the couple. She was about to leave when the prince’s question about why the princess didn’t pick up his call caught her attention.
Lucas called her to ask her to report everything that exactly happened today, especially why she didn’t pick up her phone. Since the prince was free from the eting, he was now available to hear her story and give her a chance to explain whatever reasons she wanted to use to save herself from the punishnt since she let sothing this grave happen.
She stood behind the pillar to hear what the princess was about to say. Blue wanted to save herself so trouble, but if the princess told him the truth, there was no way she would be able to lie about it. She prayed to the moon goddess that the princess wouldn’t say anything about her getting kidnapped by the minister’s son.
"You t your friend?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana nodded.
"Yes. You might know him too. I actually knew him before today because we t at a place or two coincidentally, but only today did I find he was actually a vampire. My friends Samantha, Daniel, and Alcinder told about his reputation and position," Elliana said, and the more she talked, the more Blue felt terrified and lost hope.
"He is a Vampire?" Sebastian asked, and seeing how Elliana nodded, he was starting to believe that she might be telling the truth.
"Yes. And a powerful one. I am not sure if he is powerful, honestly. But it’s the way they reacted to him. He is the finance minister’s son of the Vampires. His na is Dexter. That’s what he told . I won’t call him exactly a friend since we both don’t know much about each other," Elliana paused.
"I t him accidentally, and we spent so ti together. He even cooked so noodles, and they tasted so good that I was actually tempted to taste more of his cooking and -" Elliana kept saying, oblivious to the two vampires, who didn’t like what she was saying.
The first was the chef, who didn’t like the princess praising soone’s cooking, especially a third-generation kid who probably didn’t know much about ingredients and flavors.
The second one was the prince, who didn’t like the kind of words she was using like they spent ti together and she enjoyed it.
"Don’t you love to speak a lot?" Sebastian pinched her lips to stop her, and Elliana paused with wide eyes.
"Tell , do you want to spend so ti with ?" He asked, his hand resting on her thighs, and now that he touched her half-exposed thighs, he realized sothing that he hadn’t all this ti.
Her dress was lifted slightly, and a very major part of her skin was touching his lap, the part of her skin that was enough to make any man go wild.
As this realization dawned upon him, Sebastian looked at her in a new light. His gaze shifted to her chest, which was almost touching his. One of her hands was behind his neck, the other hand secured on his chest above his shirt, and for the first ti, he was tempted to pull her completely onto his lap with her legs on either side of his body so that her p*ssy was right above his crotch and -
Sebastian cleared his throat when he felt his manhood reacting to his thoughts. He looked at the innocent girl, who probably didn’t even know what kind of emotions she was evoking inside him, and thinned his lips.
This girl, seriously!
"You are such a an girl, Elliana," Sebastian pinched her cheeks hard until tears brimd her eyes.
Miss Zoya, who returned with the ointnt, looked at the prince and thinned her lips.
This man! Seriously! How can he bully her?!
"Why am I a an girl, Mr. Marino?" Elliana drooped her gaze and inched her body closer to Sebastian with an innocent look.
Sebastian didn’t know whether she was pretending or was oblivious to what her touch was doing to him, and he gulped.
"Prince, here is the ointnt that you asked for," Miss Zoya interrupted the couple, afraid the prince might bully her again.
However, what she hadn’t expected was for the prince to imdiately place his hand on the side of the princess’s thighs that were exposed.
It wasn’t even exposed, to be honest. Miss Zoya had seen girls wearing much shorter dresses than this. She couldn’t believe it more when the prince looked at her with a glare, and she gulped.
What was going on here?
"Place the ointnt and leave, Miss Zoya," Sebastian didn’t hesitate while Elliana kept looking at his dashing face.
Even under the mask that hides most of the skin on his face, his sharp jaws and nose were too hard to ignore. The mask that the vampire prince uses is almost fitting to the face, and it’s not hard to trace his features.
As she kept looking at his face, her expression suddenly turned sad, and the vampire prince with high senses could imdiately feel it.
"I will apply this ointnt to your scratches now. Tell if it hurts a lot, okay?" He asked, and when he didn’t receive any reply, he turned to her.
His gaze raked at the girl in his hand. He suddenly wondered what she was thinking about that made her so sad.
Was she thinking about the incident in the forest where she almost got tainted and killed? Or was she thinking of her family mbers?
"What are you thinking?" Sebastian finally asked after a few seconds, and Elliana shook her head.
He sighed when she didn’t speak and grabbed her chin to force her to look into his eyes.
"If not , who will you share your thoughts with? Husband and wife are supposed to be there for each other, no? Or is it that you don’t consider yours? Having gone to the university changed your thoughts about -" Sebastian couldn’t finish his sentence because Elliana started speaking.
"I am beautiful. You are called a monster. Are we the main characters from Beauty and the Beast? But you are so beautiful. How can they call you a monster? If anyone, I am the monster here. No one ever liked and treated like I was an abomination and sothing...yes, they treated like a thing, a thing that shouldn’t have brought into this world and -"
Elliana’s eyes widened in shock when the prince suddenly bent and kissed her forehead from above the mask.
