Duty-Bound: Chapter 90
...xXx...
"This is entirely your fault."
He blinked in confusion as she glared at him. What was she talking about?
"You..." she trailed off.
"What's wrong?"
She looked away before getting up and started gathering her scattered kimonos. Although her bare form was pleasing to his eyes and quite a distraction as well, he still wanted an answer. Ignoring her squeak of surprise, he pulled her down into his lap and demanded, "Tell me."
Watching her bit her lower lip made him want to ravish her again, but he refrained himself, for now.
Once again, she looked away.
"Mikan."
"..."
Sighing mentally, he cupped and gently turned her face so that she would look at him. "Tell me."
Silence.
His patience was being tested. He planted a soft kiss on her forehead, nose and lips. He was slightly panicked when tears veiled her eyes. "Hey..."
"This is so unfair..." she quietly wailed. "I can't get mad at you when you do that."
Totally stumped, the only thing he could do was hug her sobbing form.
When she calmed down, she whispered, "I'm sorry."
Absent-mindedly playing with her brown locks, he replied, "Something's obviously bothering you."
"It's just..."
"It's just..." he prodded gently.
"..."
He pulled away so that he could look at her tear-stained face. Really, he hated seeing her cry.
"Ifeellikeabitchinheat," she murmured with a blush.
Silence.
"..."
After a moment, realisation dawned on him, and he relaxed. A smile made its way to his lips. "Did you forget what I told you weeks ago, my princess?"
She blinked at him.
"Never doubt..."
"That you want me...," she completed.
Caressing her soft cheek, he looked into her eyes. "I want you as much as you want me."
He knew she was happy with his statement as she kissed him soundly.
