Web Of Desire
Ch.7
Envious Love
Koriand'r and Robin walked down the open corridor, arms locked around one another. She was laughing at humorous tales he was sharing with her, most taking place during his childhood. When they reached Robin's bedroom door they hugged, then Koriand'r walked back to hers and Redman's bedroom. Once she stepped in she was not at all surprised to find Redman's absense. Wherever he went, she was just glad that he was not here, with her. Koriand'r sighed and walked toward her wardrobe. So many questions filled her head. How long do we keep this up? Will he ever notice? Will we last...? It was torture for Koriand'r to keep such a dangerous secret, and this secret made her heart beat faster whenever she saw Prince Redman. Robin however, did not seem bothered by the fact that his brother, Reman, could find out about their love.
Koriand'r grabbed a peach, silk nightgown and hastily pulled it own. She always feared that Redman would come in to find her nude, and if that happened, who knows what he would do, such as forcing her to sleep with him? Koriand'r slid under the covers and went to sleep. It was not late, but not early, but she felt exhausted and wanted to rest.

It was several hours before a faint noise awoke Koriand'r from her sleep. Redman was entering, probably trying to be silent because he was slowly walking toward his dresser. He noticed her staring at him and smiled.
" Sorry for waking you", he said, pulling off his hooded coat and throwing it in one of the drewers. He walked to the opposite side of her bed and sat down. She stared at him since he seemed to be thinking strongly about something.
" I was thinking, maybe we should, you know, spend more time together." She was surprised. He was actually thinking about her. Koriand'r smiled faintly and sat up. She wasn't going to say no, and besides, this was a generous offer.
Maybe spending time with him, will show her that he can be a kind, respectable man. " I would be glad to", she responded, placing her hand on his outstretched hand. He pulled her up and started walking out the door. Turning back around he spoke," Put clothes on and meet me outside."
Koriand'r nodded and walked back to her wardrobe. She put on a light pink sun dress, and walked out of his room. Redman was waiting by the door, and once he noticed her smiled." I was thinking I should show you our lake."
Lake? Koriand'r smiled back and went up next to him. He then wrapped his arm around hers and started leading her to this... lake.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
It was beautiful, the lake. The water was a clear blue color, and pulled off a tranquil feeling that possesed her to want fallwillingly. The lake was seducing her to fall in. Koriand'r kneeled down and stared at her reflection. The lake was like a mirror, a large one, that reflected every tree, leaf, flower and animal, and stared right into your thoughts and emotions. Why hadn't Robin ever shown her this place. Then it occurred to her that they couldn't just walk around or out of the city. Many would wisper and gossip of her walks with the Prince Robin. And they would reach Redman's ears, and he would become infuriated. But such things would never come to pass, right?
She became aware of the fact that he was staring curiously at her. He smiled amusingly, and kneeled down next to her, staring down at his own reflection." It puts you in a trance, right?" The words he spoke were true; the lake was a beauty, something everyone should admire. It occured to her that the lake had no name. She looked at Redman, who was still staring at the magestic water, and asked," What is the name of this lake?"
Redman looked back at her and responded," Don't know, but maybe, it deserves to be unknown, to add mystery, to its beauty... like you." She was confused, and he noticed.
" Where or what, do you do while I am gone?" Her heart stopped. How to respond to his question? She recollected herself and thought quickly of something.
" I-I read, or either talk to Raven, my servant", she lied, gulping in fright. Please believe it. Please believe it, she kept repeating in her head, as if it were a wish that would come true. He seemed to give in to her lie because he stood up and lowered his hand to her. Koriand'r placed her hand on his once again, and allowed him to pull her up. They walked back toward the city.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Once they reached the garden right outside Redman's room, he stopped her. She stopped and waited for him to speak. He looked down at her and started talking in a happy voice," I am glad you came, tomorrow, I will show you something else that will amaze you." He then slowly lifted her head and pressed his lips on hers. She was surprised, and pulled back a little. He noticed, and pulled away. She saw his face become red with embarrassment." Sorry, to quick right?" Before she could reply he walked back into the room. She was ashamed at showing her rejection, he was being kind to her.
Koriand'r felt eyes on her and swerved around to meet the gaze of Robin. She smiled and ran up to him, but stopped to look back at the room's door, in case Redman was watching. The lights were out, he probably went to rest. She turned back around and embraced him in a warm hug. Robin lightly pushed her away and stared at her accusingly. His gaze was burning right through her, it was frightening.
" So, what were you doing", he asked in an, almost, calm voice. She smiled." He brought me to this la-", he cut her off and started spealing angerly," Why did you kiss him?" His voice was breaking. She sighed." Actually he kissed me."
He glared at her and started walking away. She grabbed his hand and tryed to pull him back, but he just swipped his hand away, causing her to fall back. He immediately was remorseful, and turned around to help her up. She, however, pulled herself back up and started walking away angerly. He started walking quickl after her, calling her." Starfire, Starfire wait!" Koriand'r turned around and said in an angry voice," Don't call me Starfire." It was childish, but so was he.
Robin was amused at her anger, and knew exactly how to rid her of it. He pulled her to him and kissed her hard. She, unable to reject it, kissed back with just as much force. His hands were gripping tightly on her arms, and his tongue traced over hers. It was a few moments before they pulled apart. He looked at her and said breathlessly," Are you still mad?" She smiled and punched his arm jockingly.
It dawned own her that it was late so she gave a small kiss on his cheek and walked off, with him walking in the other direction. She was in a good mood, but became scared when she entered the room. To hands shoot out and pinned her to the wall. The grip was hard, and she looked up to see Redman, looking very furious. His nails dug into her bare skin, small amounts of blood coming out. She shook ff the pain and started struggling with his grip.
" Reading huh?" His voice stung. She became even more frightened. He knew...
