Chapter Six

Those eyes of his, why did they always have to be so mesmerizing. Anyone could get lost in them, they were like sapphires shinning against a backdrop of black satin. It was easy to see why girls fall for him all the time, what I don't get is, why hasn't he ever shown interest in anyone?

The wind picked up at that exact moment, shifting the bangs from his eyes just enough to let the moonlight reflect off the color of their iris, silver bringing out their true radiance as he watched my face intensely.

My body shivered uncontrollably to the breeze, eyes flicking away when he noticed this. Ikuto then released his hold and pulled me inside the green house from the cold air, stuffing his hands into those pockets as he leaned up against the wall.

"It's probably midnight by now, doesn't Cinderella need to be back home before her shoe turns into a pumpkin or something like that?"

I was nearly floored by his response. He asked me here in the middle of the night, then is wanting me to go back home?!

"Cinderella is a grown girl and can do what she wants. Besides, it was the carriage, not her shoe. If you didn't want to see me then why did you ask me to come?"

"Who said I didn't want to see you?"

He reached out, his fingertips grasping on to the fabric of my jacket before he tugged me with force; causing my body to shift off-balance and tumble right into his chest.

His arms curved around my waist, holding my form close to his as I squirmed; trying to free myself.

"If you did you wouldn't have said that, you're always teasing me and I can never figure you out, ugh, let me go!"

"But I don't want to let go," his head lowered itself down as he purred his words with delight, nuzzling his nose and face into the side of my neck; immediately triggering my body to halt in all motion.

I couldn't move, I was frozen in place to his caress, his hot breath against my ear causing my knees to actually buckle this time. I could feel him though, catching my body as my legs became nothing more than useless noodles. It only served to make him hold me even closer.

He gave a soft possessive growl as the tip of his nose brush up the side of my neck, stopping just behind my ear to whisper contentedly against my pink hair.

"I told you before, I guess I'm just the boy who cried wolf."

"I-Ikuto?"

My face must have turned three shades of red, because he was right, that was the night in my bedroom he teased me and said he loved me.

My eyes widened in realization to those words, was he actually teasing me back then, or was he...

Ikuto slowly lifted his face away from my neck, examining my expression as I tried to piece this all together. A mischievous smirk crossed his features, head tilting just enough to allow him access to my face.

His lips pressed themselves against my cheek as close as he possibly could to the side of my mouth without actually touching my lips, placing probably the most seductive kiss I had ever experienced in my lifetime.

His mouth was so close, if I had just angled my head even the slightest our lips would have found one another, but I still couldn't move. My body wouldn't work right, I just felt paralyzed.

I have to say, possessive animal instincts makes Ikuto,

irresistible.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this way!

Oh, and no copyright intended on the Cinderella pun.
