"It's okay Princess I understand."

..

What does he mean, he understands?

How can he possibly understand?

My feelings…

My beating heart…

My unrequited love for him.

After, a long silence.

I watch him look out into the distance.

I wonder, what is he thinking about so intently.

Or maybe, who is he thinking about?

I stare at him. Admiring how his dark hair falls over his eyes and his lips form a thin line.

I start to wonder how soft his lips must feel.

Then, how soft they would feel against my lips, my neck, my ehm!

I slap my cheeks to snap myself awake from my lustful desire to…!

No! That could never happen because Hak simply sees me as the annoying princess who can't fend for herself.

[Sigh]

"Princess," he turns to face me with those dark blue eyes of his, "it's been three years since we've left the palace."

"I know." Where is he going with this.

He smiles gently, "I know I'm simply a bodyguard, but…"

The next thing I know is, " NO! Hak, you aren't simply a bodyguard! Your more than that, your my best friend, my companion, my confidant, my teacher, and …"

"Wow, princess if I didn't know any better, I'd say your declaring your love to me."

I blush, " Wh..What.. ..I was..?" I say with every last bit of courage that I have.

….

Silence. I was met with silence.

He just stares at me like some abnormal creature. Was the idea of me liking him so revolting? Suddenly, anger boils within me.

" I'm sorry, I didn't the idea of me liking you could be so disturbing!" I try to get up, but the next thing I know.

...

Those lips, they taste so sweet. Their as soft as silk, I melt into the kiss forgetting the world around me. Then, it stops all too quick.

I open my eyes to find those blue eyes darker filled with..desire?

" Hak," I manage to mutter.

"Prin..cess," he speaks between breaths.

I blush, suddenly realizing my position.

Hak pinned me to the grass, with my hands above me.

As though, restraining from leaving, but his gaze alone could pin me down.

A gaze that devours me.

A gaze filled with lust and desire.

A gaze not of a boy but a man looking upon a woman.

….

"Princess, you cannot tease me like that."

I only stare back.

"And you can't stare at me like that either, or I might start getting the wrong idea."

I continue to stare back as though to convey my love and desire through my gaze.

"Please, stop...looking at me like that or…"

"Or what?"

"Or I might devour you, and claim you as mine."

...
