15 Bastard And I (1/2)

WEI LI LIAN

LADY WEI LI LIAN

PRINCESS LE-ANNE

”Since young master has nothing to see why don't we cover his eyes?” she toyed with her cloth. Although he was masked by his hat she was sure that he could see everything below him with the aid of his height. He appeared to be bothered by her addressing him as 'young' than the prospect of him getting blindfolded. To her, he looked to be around his mid-twenties.

He reluctantly lowered his head for her to blindfold him. Clearly this was a trust game, so quickly she removed her cloth and folded it into a thin line prior to tip toeing so that she could tie it around him.

She expected to be in control since he now could not see but from the moment she covered his eyes, he was all over her. His huge hands reached for her head and she closed her eyes in anticipation. Was her heart really beating?

Slowly and careful with her, his fingers descended down her face, feeling every inch of her. It was like he was studying a fascinating art piece.

”Double lidded eyes, bridged nose with pale skin like the rest of that small body...” She caught her breath as his thumbs stroked her lips. ”Soft lips...” She hoped whatever imagination he had of her in his mind matched with how she really looked. For the first time in her life she felt a little bit of self-conscious.

His hands suddenly fell to her waist, holding her so tightly like he was scared she would disappear. Something about his touch made her feel womanly and warm inside.

He slowly lowered his head which ended up on her forehead, the material of his cloak hat separating them.

His scent was intoxicating that breathing became labour some. It was a mixture of different herbs and flowers that she could not exactly pinpoint each plant from the other; he just smelt fabulous. His breath was recklessly feigning her lips, steady and calm it was, while she was loudly gasping for air like a girl who still had not come of age. In life, she had been trained to gain control and skills over many different kinds of things but this was not one of them.

In a split second he angled his head to the right to kiss her. Her heart started thudding and she licked her lips in anticipation.

'What am I doing? This is not right.'
