Chapter 3

Normal POV

Lief really wanted Jasmine for himself, and for the kingdom. Lief's love for Jasmine was greater than what his love for the kingdom. Even though Lief knew that Jasmine was feisty, and fierce on the quest for the gems, Lief just knew that Jasmine would make a great friend, wife, and mother to Lief's children.

Lief just thought that his life could never go on without Jasmine of the Forest. And Lief just knew that the time to make his move on Jasmine was now.

Lief started to lean his head towards Jasmine's, but stopped while he was right in front of Jasmine's face to say the three very special words. "Jasmine, I love you." Lief whispered in Jasmine's ear. Jasmine's eyes widened with shock. "Lief I never knew that you felt that way but, I love you too." Jasmine whispered back. Lief arms then decided to wrap themselves around Jasmine's upper body, to embrace Lief's soul mate. Jasmine responded by giving Lief a hug back, Lief and Jasmine came out of their hug, and just stared into each others eyes. Lief then leaned his face toward Jasmine's and stopped right before they made lip contact. Lief gave a destined smile, and continued forward. But Lief never dreamed that Jasmine's lips would come crashing down on his, when he least expected it.

They just sat there for a while, enjoying every moment of the kiss that they had. The kiss lasted about 10 seconds, despite the fact that they were practically in love with each other. Finally at the 10 second Lief pushed Jasmine to where she was laying on Lief's bed on her back, waiting for more kisses. Lief hopped on top of Jasmine only to deepen the kissed and embraces that he had on Jasmine. Jasmine reached for Lief's waist. Trying to pull Lief's shirt free from his pants. It only took a few seconds before Jasmine had pulled the shirt out of Lief's pants. Lief was busy holding Jasmine's head with his hands to notice that Jasmine wanted Lief's shirt off. Lief finally noticed that his shirt was starting to show his chest as Jasmine started to un-button it. "Let me help you with that." Lief put a fiendish smile on his face, and lifted his shirt plain off his body, and returned to Jasmine's wants of love.

"Wow lief, you have some hard arms. You could probably carry me!" Jasmine said feeling Lief's arms.

"Lief there's something I would like to do, but think we should be married first." Jasmine said, "Jasmine are you proposing to me?" Lief asked back. "No, I think that that's completely up to you." Jasmine responded smiling. Lief just layed by Jasmine's side and raised his right arm up, signalizing that he wanted Jasmine to go to sleep with him. Jasmine pressed her back up against Lief's chest, while Lief draped his arm around Jasmine's side and closed his eyes. The only thing Lief remembered before falling asleep was Jasmine tugging Lief's arm pulling him closer.

The Next Morning

Lief, and Jasmine were on Lief's bed while the sunlight shone on their faces. Lief opened an eye to look out the window to see the sun in the far east, he always wondered what the other part of the world was like in the east. He knew that someday he would get there no matter how hard it would be. He would go to be the first king to go to the far east. To explore, and maybe bring back some new exotic animals. Lief knew he would get there. "Lief, have you seen Jasmine? She wasn't in her bed chamber last night." Lief heard his mother calling in to his bed chamber. His door slightly cracked open, then flew open as Doom ran in frantically, stunned to see Jasmine in the arms of an 18 year old king.

Yeah I just came up with the age 18, it doesn't say in the books after Deltora Quest ends. Sorry for the delay. But as I said on chapter 2, if you have any ideas or comments, write a review, or send me a message please.
