Chapter 483 - Toxic relationship (2/2)

'He means well, despite his actions.'

Or maybe that was an excuse to keep this going? Her gaze fell on the man who was kissing her neck line and loosening her clothes. Despite how hasty he seemed, his kisses were very gentle.

Lyn watched as the water lapped around her body. The bath in Rhys room seemed to have issues so in the end they had to go to the royal bath area. It was already quite late, so not many guards were around.

Rhys dismissed the guards on duty and said he would handle the rest.

”Don't come in okay?” Lyn said.

Rhys sighed. ”I'm already standing behind the door. Geez, trust me a little will you.”

How can she trust him when all he does with her is weird things?

”Rhys.” Lyn mumbled. ”Are you and Kazuya fighting?”

”What makes you say that?”

”Just a feeling.”

The two talk to each other and yet she senses awkwardness now. Is it just her imagination?

She hears a clattering sound and panicked again. ”Rhys? Really, don't come inside.”

”You're so annoying these days. I'm just sitting down.”

”I--I see.”

”Lyn.” Rhys suddenly changed his tone. ”Do you not like me?”

Huh?

”Well, I think you've figured out by now. Whether you choose Kazuya or me, the outcome will be the same. You won't stay in the Mist Kingdom, so you should forget about the throne already.”

'So that's what is troubling him these days.' Indeed he made a point there. No matter who she picks, the outcome is still the same.

”If I don't pick either of you?”

At that comment she didn't hear a reply and heard him stand up. Lyn sighed knowing he would leave. However the doors suddenly slid open. Her eyes widened when she saw Rhys enter the room.

”Wait a momen-” her sentence fell short when she saw the menacing aura around the man.

”Rhys, unngh. Your clothes.” Lyn tried to part their lips. But, the dark gaze in his eyes made it difficult for her to say no.

'A toxic relationship is..'

A toxic relationship contaminates your self-esteem, your happiness and the way you see yourself and the world. A toxic person will float through life with a trail of broken hearts, broken relationsh.i.p.s and broken people behind them.

”Lyn.” Rhys growled. ”Touch me.”

It wasn't a request and more of a command. Even if she didn't move her hands. He wouldn't let her go.

She hesitantly raised her hand and drew circles on his chest. She maybe seventeen years old now. But Lyn still didn't know the first thing about relationsh.i.p.s.

Rhys brought her hands to his mouth, he licked and sucked causing her calm composure to vanish. 'What is he doing?' Her fingers are dirty. She didn't get a chance to scrub herself properly before she came in.

”Rhys, stop that.”
