Chapter 10 - 10. Prince and his Knight.... (1/2)
Looking outside...the stars were still there but the sun was probably going to dawn soon....
In her case, she wanted to spend her 'forever' with him but she had an inkling that when she was with him, time seemed to flow with a far greater speed than usual.....sighs.....world was really not fare...
She has been in a trance-like state.
As she slowly moved her hand, that was caressing his soft hairs for who knows how long, down to his flushed cheeks, to his defined contours and jawline she felt shocks running down her spine, her desires were eating on her rational mind.
Her hands stopped as she outlined his sharp jaw and she slowly traced his lips with her thumb.
The soft feeling of those thin red lips had put her mind in a frenzy, she was very, very calm on the outside but it took all her self control to stop her from defiling those charming lips,.... but fate [and of course laozi...hihihi] had a different plot planned out for her.
As she, repeatedly rubbed his lips, he probably felt an itch or was ticklish and tried to avoid her thumb but she, in her ZEN like state, didn't notice the changes. She continued playing with them unconsciously as she looked at him with her softened features.
The air was tinged with fluffiness and pink but lord(!!), all she saw was red.....only those deep red cherry lips, which were more than welcoming her to savor them.
He, probably, got irritated and nibbled at her thumb softly.
She was electrocuted by that sensation and came to her right state of mind BUT somewhere inside her, the LOC[...it's the Line of Control for those who don't know] was crossed or maybe, it snapped?
Still, she was a veteran in this field....
She wanted to take away her hand but he beat her to it.
He probably noticed that the soft feeling and her warmth being withdrawn so, he stopped nibbling and slowly sucked and kissed her thumb and.... the expression she had controlled so far finally, cracked!
The devil inside her kept chanting the ”sutra”, 'KISS HIM, HE WON'T MIND. KISS HIM, HE WAS ALWAYS YOURS”; this played on a repeat inside her and good lord, it was working.
Her desires took over her, she slowly leaned her body towards him. Her breathing was very soft but her heartbeats shot up like a bullet, her eyes could only see his lips and her mind could only think of those lips and taking them, possessing them.
Her lips were inches apart, she could feel his breath over her face.
The distance closed down to almost zero, they were just about a millimetre apart, all she had to do was take that final step but then--
'Meilin'
A voice flashed through her mind and she stopped.
Her other hand clenched and she pulled out, forcibly.
She gasped for air and slowly looked back at him, that scene from back then replayed; back then when he became her solace....
She had promised him way back then: ”Since you're a prince, I'll be your knight in shining armor.....hehe”
And that was the day he, for the first time, wanted her promise to him, fulfilled: ”Meilin, please come back to me na. I want my knight back, my knight in all her grandeur and shiny armor....somehow the 'you' right now is not shiny at all. So, please give me back MY MEILIN, please. Please, come back to me.” As the rays shone through his hairs giving it a golden lining, his body shone, he was a godsend angel for her, he became the light of her life.
He became someone she promised to put her life on the line for, someone she decided to continue her life for, to live for.
Her life won't be meaningless and boring anymore, it really won't because she had to keep him safe, keep him from being pulled into the darkness of this god-forsaken land, he can't come here....he only belonged to the light, her light.
She couldn't betray him, not back then, not now, not ever.
