Chapter 144 - Forbidden (1/2)

Lyn protested and struggled. But against him, she was no match. At least for now anyway. If Lyn learns how to use her magic properly and builds up her stamina more, then he won't get a chance to get close to her anymore. That's why lately Rhys is in a rush. Before she learns to control it, he has to do something. With this particular mindset, Rhys has increased his level of affection towards her.

Now they are finally at this stage. Rhys gaze fell on the girl below him; she looks so vulnerable right now. 'My prey,' he thought as he licked his lips. Why does somebody this stunningly beautiful exist in this world? Now he understood why they kept her locked away, her powers aside and that mark. If people laid eyes on this beauty, then there would be conflict. It's not an exaggeration to say that those who lay their eyes on her will be 'bewitched.'

”Lyn,” he murmured against her lips, ”I'll make sure you know that you belong to me, and me alone.”

Then he starts kissing her, easily prying her mouth open, kissing and touching the exposed parts of her body. Rhys wanted nothing more than to tear away her clothing completely and see her fully n.a.k.e.d. But, it felt like if he were to move his lips away from hers now. Lyn would try to leave.

....

After a few minutes, Lyn collapsed into his chest, and he gently caressed her back.

Wow..that was just amazing. Rhys turned to the girl in his arms who was panting heavily. Guess this is enough for her if he scares her too much. She really will end up hating him.

”Lyn, we should--,” Lyn raised her hand and hit him.

Rhys isn't surprised. ”I won't apologize,” why does he have to apologize when he did nothing wrong? He likes her.

”I hate you,” the girl's words were filled with such bitterness that it pained him. But Rhys quickly shook his head.

”That will change,” he trailed off and pulled the blanket on her, ”Go to sleep.”

”I feel violated.”

”Calm down; I did nothing. I just kissed you a little.”

Rhys doesn't understand why she is acting this way. But, when he saw her trembling Rhys realized he did something wrong.

”Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Quit crying, please.”

Damn, he went overboard. He didn't think she would start crying. He only kissed and touched her a little, but for somebody like her. Something like that is most likely too much. 'Damn, made a mistake.' But you can't blame him for this even if she is mad at her fiance. Why did she agree to share a tent with him? So naive, she can only blame her naivety for this.

'Lyn likes scenery.'

”Lyn, let's go for a walk.”

....

Rhys gaze fell on the girl who was walking ahead of him; a deep sigh passed his lips. Okay, so now what? Will taking her for a walk improve her mood? Damn, why is this so difficult? He likes her, so why can't he talk to her properly? Why does he end up doing these stupid things that lead to her being afraid of him? What is he going to do? Even though he's the backup plan, right now he's acting even worse than Kazuya.

Rather Kazuya is more sensible recently, he doesn't stay by Lyn's side as much anymore. Rhys knew that he was running around and actually doing work. With Kazuya preoccupied and actually doing work. It was his chance to get to Lyn. Rhys could easily tell the reporters that Kazuya abandoned his job, and thus he had to step in. Rhys doesn't understand why Kazuya is acting this way now. But, it's a good opportunity for him.

Lyn was walking several steps ahead and despite the darkness of the night. Rhys could clearly see her dainty figure in front of him and hear her light footsteps.

All of a sudden, she came to a halt and turned to him with a questioning look in her eyes. ”Why did you do that?”

”Too much?”

Lyn nodded, ”Yes, as you know, Rhys I'm still underage.
