Barian World:
Don Thousand's POV:
"What do you mean she escaped and fell down a cliff? You imbeciles! Your job was to capture her not make her fall to her doom!" I said angrily. These pathetic imbeciles. Why do I even keep them around?
"Now how am I supposed to make peace with Astral world without that brat?"
"Your Highness, I-I beg for forgiveness." A bodyguard said nervously. He dares beg for forgiveness?
"My plans are all ruined cause of you pathetic so-called bodyguards! Take them to get beheaded."
The other guards dragged them out while the two guards begged for mercy.
"How am I supposed to get my plan into motion now?" I thought out loud banging my fist on the table.
"Your Sire, if I may interrupt, you could just find another princess to marry The Prince of Astral world. The people of Astral world would never know because they have never seen the Princess before." The prime minister said. Hmm… a replacement princess… not a bad idea.
"Not a bad idea but where will I find a replacement princess?"
"Just find any girl who looks pretty and has good manners. It doesn't matter who as long as she looks like a princess."
"Very nice, Prime Minister. I will give you a pay raise for coming up with such an ingenious plan."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
All hope is not lost after all!
Astral world:
Astral's POV:
"Mother?" I knock on the door to their bedroom as it opens.
"Son, what are you doing here this late?" Her concerned voice emanates through her question as she rushes me to sit on the couch.
"I want to speak to you two about an important matter."
My father sits down across from me. "I told you many times, don't be so formal when it's the three of us."
"He's right," She said in agreement. "So, what do you wish to speak with us about?" Here goes nothing…
"Is there any way to cancel the marriage?"
The room grew deathly quiet as I said that. A soft sigh comes from my mother. "What brought upon this change?"
I bite my lip as they stare at me expectantly. "You know the reason why," I mutter quietly as they sit down on the left and right of me.
My mother holds my hand gently. "Astral,"
"I know," I look at her gold eyes shimmering with tears. "I know what you're going to say."
"But Mother is it worth it marrying to a person who-"
She quickly covers my mouth with a hand. "Don't you dare say that word!"
My lips curve upwards as I gently remove her hand holding it gently. "Mother, you got to accept the fact that there is-"
Her eyes narrow slightly. "Don't you dare say that! We will find a cure and you will live."
I shake my head with a sad smile. "I did the calculations. The chances of finding it are less than 5%." She bite her lip as tears start to fall on my hand. Great… I made my mother cry.
"I refuse to believe that it's less than 5%." She grips my hands tightly in desperation. "Your calculations are wrong."
"When have my calculations ever been wrong?" I counter as she takes a deep breath blinking away the tears.
"I refuse. I refuse to accept that there's no cure." She said in a shaky voice. "I already lost your sister. I refuse to lose you as well."
My sister… I clench my jaw as I remember the person that I loved so dearly. I blink rapidly and take a deep breath to stabilize myself. "They say life or death is dependent on fate."
"I know that but-"
"Enna," My father's voice chimes in. "You don't have to accept it but you can't live in denial like this. Our son," He smiles at me. "He's a lot stronger than you realize."
"But that still doesn't change the fact that-"
"Listen to me," He exclaims softly holding our hands. "Astral, we will find a cure. I will not let you succumb to this."
I nod with a smile. "Thanks, Father."
He turns towards her with a gentle smile. "And Enna, I won't let what happen to our daughter happen to our son." She nods blinking the tears away.
"Anyway," I clear my throat. "Is there any way to cancel this marriage?"
"You should know by now, the wedding date has already been set." I thought so. "It's just this is an arranged marriage. Imagine how she must be feeling getting married to a total stranger." I reason as they nod slowly.
"I understand but there's nothing we can do about it." My mother said. "If we refuse, it would be a breach in the contract, and Barian World will probably commence war again."
"Not that it would affect us but it would affect the people of this world." My father states. "We have been fighting for thousands of years and it has to stop before both worlds get destroyed." True… we are already seeing its effects on the people.
I sigh as I get up to look out the balcony. "I know. I know all of that but it seems so unfair to force two people to marry for the sake of their worlds."
"Especially when one person is about to-"
"Don't say that!" She exclaims coming up to me.
"I understand your concern," He said placing a hand on my shoulder. "But, you are the Prince-"
"Yes, I heard this a bunch of times, father. I am the Prince. She is the Princess. It's our duty and responsibility to save our worlds with this arranged marriage."
"I wish there was a better way but-" He starts as I shoot him a smile.
"It's not your fault. You're doing what's necessary to save this world."
I place a hand on both of their shoulders. "You don't need to feel guilty about this decision."
They blink and slowly brought me into an embrace as my eyes widened. Huh? "Mother? Father?" I ask in confusion as I could see the corners of their mouths curve upwards.
"Thank you, son." They whisper as they hug me tighter. What did I do to deserve a thank you?
I ease into the embrace as a smile appears on my face. Guess I need to find another way to not ruin Starlight's life.
Liliana's POV:
I cross my arms with a pout as I sit on the couch. Great…
(Flash):
"If you're tired, rest first. I have somewhere to attend to."
(Flash)
No way I'm resting first. I cover up a yawn and glance towards his bed. But… no! He left me on the couch. Before this day ends, I need him to carry me to the bed.
"How long has it been?" My eyes shift towards the wall clock.
9:30
Huh… I thought it was later.
(Flash):
"If he wants to tell you then he will but please, don't force him to."
(Flash)
What are you not telling me? I thought we tell each other everything…
I pour myself a cup of water and gulp it. My eyes widen as a burning sensation inside my throat made me cough violently into my palm. Is this water? I smack my lips together in distaste. What is this?
Huh… I take a sip of it again and pull away in disgust. This is definitely not water.
My vision starts to waver as a dizzy spell pass through me. Ow! I hiss in pain and start to remove my shirt. So hot… Did someone turn the heat on or something? Oh my god.
The door creeks open as footsteps approach me. Who? "Lily, are… you okay?"
"Mmmm… so hot!"
He tilts his head cutely. "Hot?"
"Mhm… Astral,"
Astral's POV:
What on earth? I blink as she leans towards me. "What are you doing?"
She giggles and places a hand on my chest. "Astral, it's so hot…"
It's hot? Really? "Um… no, it's pretty cool right now…" I trail off as she slips the straps of her crop top down. My eyes widen as I shoot up like a rocket. Why is she acting like this?
"What are you doing?"
I back away as she struts towards me. "Aren't you hot?"
"No, I'm fine."
My heart rate accelerates as she uses her powers to remove her sweatpants and back me to a wall. Oh my goodness… I gulp as I stare at her. H-Her body… look away! Look away!
"Astral," She strokes my chest with a seductive smile.
"Do you know what you're doing right now?" I try to keep my voice steady as she leans closer. Stop beating so fast!
"Of course, I know what I'm doing, my love."
That tone… "You're playing with fire right now. You don't know what you're doing." I wiggle to free myself from her grip but she cups my face.
"Don't you like me?" Her eyelashes flutter as her hypnotic violet eyes entice me making my heart skyrocket. I… "You like me." She whispers making me tense as her hands roam my chest. "But, why are you holding yourself back?"
I clench my fist tightly and push her away by the shoulders. "Stop. You don't know what you are doing."
"Really?" A smirk crosses her face as she slams her lips onto mine.
My breath hitches in my throat. My eyes widen as my heart thumps violently. Her lips… I can feel her tongue enter my mouth as I stand there in shock. She's really… no! This… isn't right! She doesn't like me romantically. I can't!
She presses her body against mine as her tongue roams. I let out a small growl while wrapping my arms around her waist pulling her closer as we shut our eyes. This sensation… Her hands slips down to my belt and hastily undid it tossing it to the side as we broke the kiss.
I breathe heavily as we gaze at each other intensely. I need to stay calm. This is my best friend. I can't act on emotions.
"I love you, Astral."
Her breath tickles my lips. "Lily… I…" That kiss… her delicate soft lips… I… but she's my friend.
My nose twitches as the scent of alcohol radiates from her body. Is she… drunk?
I shut my eyes gripping her shoulders with a sigh. "I'll act like this never happened." Who on this world gave her alcohol?! "Get some rest," I let go of her shoulders. "I'll-"
"Why," Her fist clenches as her figure trembles. "Why when it comes to me you're always like this?"
What?
"Do you view everything I say as a joke?" Tears glisten in her amethyst eyes as I raise a brow.
"Why would you-"
"Why do you always treat me like a little kid?" My friend shouts pointing a finger a me. "When it comes to Maria and Star, you treat them as their age but why when it comes to me you act so differently?"
I… do I really treat her as a… kid?
She sniffles breathing deeply. "You never take me seriously. Even when I confessed my feelings to you, you just ignore them and take it as a joke!"
Wait… that's a drunk confession though… is it?
"I…"
"Why?" A pair of hand grip my shirt collar until our faces are inches apart. "Do you not see me as a woman? Is it because we've been best friends forever now that you can't see me as a woman?!"
"You misunderstand. I-"
"All I want is for you to take me seriously and see me as a woman instead of a younger sister. Instead of a child. Instead of your best friend. Is that too much to ask?!"
Lily… I…
(Flash):
"You should give it a go with her."
(Flash)
I had no idea you… thought this way…
My friend lets out a laugh tears glistening. "I'm sorry. That was way too impulsive of me, right?" Tears fall onto the ground as her lips stain a smile. "I-I should go-"
No!
"Wait," I grip her wrist yanking her back as her eyes widen making her stumble. Uh-oh!
(Thump)
"Are you alright, Li…" I start to say before I trail off after seeing the position we are in. Oh lord.
My friend straddles my hips as her lips part a bit staring into my eyes. My heart rams inside my chest as a strand of her hair falls towards my face. Her hair smells like flowers. What on earth am I thinking?! Her alluring amethyst eyes, her porcelain skin, her pink luscious lips… She's beautiful…
She yelps in surprise as her face turns to an unhealthy shade of red. "A-Astral…" She put her hands on my chest to help herself up but she winces with a hiss and falls back onto my hips.
Darn it!
A sharp inhale causes my breath to stop in its dead tracks. Good thoughts. Good thoughts only! Her bottom presses against my member as an involuntary moan escapes my lips. Darn it! "L-Lily… I'm… I'm so so-" She smashes her lips against mine making my eyes slowly widen.
Her tongue probes my mouth as she cups my cheeks leaning down closer. The scent of flowers mixes with vanilla giving off an intoxicating aroma. Her lips are soft, almost silken, and pillowy against my own. I can feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath my nose, fingers pulling her closer as we breathe each other in. No… I can't! I got to control myself! She's my friend.
"Lily," I mutter as she tilts her head with a soft moan. "We shouldn't-" A moan escapes my lips as she grinds her hips against my member. Is she trying to make me lose control or something? My hands slide around her bare waist while my tongue slowly slips past the crease of her lips into her mouth. So delicious!
She moans louder into the kiss before gripping the back of my head and deepening it more. No… what am I doing?! She's my friend! My hands roam across her slender body as my member shoots up. But… oh god. You know what, screw it!
A moan escape my mouth as my hands slide from her smooth cheeks to her waist, bringing her closer. "Mmm~"
Her soft hands slip under my shirt stroking my abs as I shiver. My heart beats rapidly in my chest as I let out a growl. My hands feel her smooth slim back and grab her backside, resulting in a sharp gasp and moan.
"Ah, Astral~" A tongue licks my lips gently sucking on my bottom lip. My other hand slowly reaches towards the clasp on her bra. She presses her slim body on mine as we start to run out of air.
We part laying our foreheads against each other panting. Oh shoot! What was I about to do? "L-Liliana, I-I'm so-sorry." Why did I do that?! Ah! Am I insane?! "I'm-"
"Tell me," Her smooth hand lays on my right cheek. "Do you like me?" What should I say? What's the correct answer in this situation?
"Be honest," Her eyes shine in desperation. "Do you love me?"
I bite my lip. "I…"
(Flash):
"I did the calculations. The chances of finding it are less than 5%."
(Flash)
"No," I utter out clenching my fist tightly as tears leak from her eyes. To late to back down now. "I only see you as a friend. Nothing more, nothing less."
I can feel my heartbreak as salty tears drip onto my face. "Liar. Why do you keep lying to me?"
"It's the truth," I said clenching my fist as a stabbing pain radiates from the left side of my chest. "I only see you as a-"
Warm lips smash onto mine as her hands cup my face gently. My heart hammers as the scent of vanilla fills my nostrils. I shouldn't be doing this. I… I can't…
I try to pull away but she grips the back of my head deepening the kiss as a tongue thrusts into my slightly parted mouth. A soft growl escapes my lips. My tongue involuntarily licks her lips and thrust itself roaming the depths of her mouth. She moans softly, her fingers unbuttoning my shirt slipping it off my body as I card through her locks. No! I can't! Come on, Astral! You're better than this!
A hand undos the zipper to my pants as she tosses it to the side, breaking the kiss with us breathing heavily. How on earth is this woman making me feel this way?
We stare at each other with lust and wanting. I have to control myself. She's my best friend.
"I need you, Astral."
"I…" I look away as she lifts my chin to meet her gaze.
I gulp, trying to fight back my urges to stop myself from ravishing her right this instant. "Liliana, we don't need this."
"What's holding you back?"
I bite my lip as she stares at me in desperation. Should I tell her? "Is it Maria?" Tears glisten as one fell down my cheek. What?!
"Of course not! I already told you, nothing is going on between us."
"Then what is it?"
"I… can't tell you,"
"Why are you suddenly keeping things from me? We used to tell each other everything but now…" She sniffles as more tears leak from her eyes down to my face.
"Why?" My friend asks in a broken tone of voice. "Is it because you don't trust me?"
"No!" My eyes widen hastily as I cup her face. "That's not it."
"Then what is it?" She asks in desperation. Her eyes shimmer as tears glisten. Those eyes…
"I can't." I reiterate as she grips my hand tightly.
"Give me a reason. A suitable reason why you're holding back. Any reason why we shouldn't."
"You're my best friend."
"So? There's no rule that says best friends can't be together."
True… she does have a point…
"Still no." My hand gently push her forehead back. "We can't."
"Why?" She bites her lips blinking rapidly. "You like me, don't you?"
"You're my best friend."
Her amethyst eyes glare at me as my heart clenches. "Do you only see me as a friend and nothing else?"
"Yes. That's all I see you as."
"Then why?" An audible whisper escapes her lips as tears land on my cheeks. "Why do you have to make me like you?"
My eyes widened as I bite the inside of my cheek. Sorry. I'm so sorry. This is for the best.
My friend sniffles with labored breathing. "Tell me the main reason."
What?
"I don't like you."
"That's not the main reason!" Her voice raises. "Tell me, if you don't like me then why? Why would you treat me so differently? Why would you refer to me by pet names? Why did you kiss me?"
Um…
"I apologize if my actions made you think otherwise but I don't-"
"Astral," Her eyes narrow locking onto mine. "I'm your best friend. Stop lying to me."
"I'm not lying. I really don't-"
"You think after all this time we spent with each other, I can't detect if your lying or not?"
A hand cups my cheek. "Please," A desperate look glistens in her eyes. "Tell me the real reason why."
"I'm getting married in a few days," I state after a moment as I stare above me.
"That's not the only reason why."
She knows me too well. I shrug. "You told me to give you a reason."
"But that's not the primary reason." My friend utters softly tracing her thumb on my lips. "Please, tell me the main reason why you're holding back."
"I told you, I-"
"Astral," Her hands caress my face and stare at me with her lips drawing to a pout. "Please."
My jaw clenches as I look into her pleading eyes. Her resolve… I… That pout… no. No no no no no! I cannot be so easily swayed.
"I have an illness that is currently incurable." That part is somewhat true. I whisper as I look away clenching my fist. That look… when she gives me that pleading gaze, I can't lie to her.
"I could die anytime. Plus, I'm about to get married soon. That's why we shouldn't. That's why we can't." God, that was so hard to keep in. At least now, she knows to give up and everything will-
My thoughts screech to a halt as soft lips connect with mine. My eyes widen as she presses her body against mine with tears leaking from her eyes. What? Is she not… I don't understand.
Her hand cups my face as she pulls away leaning her forehead on mine. "You idiot."
I blink as my eyes widen. "Excuse me?" Did she call me an idiot? Me? As if!
"Would it kill you to depend on others once in a while?"
"I don't… understand…" I trail off with a blank expression as she snuggles closer into my chest wrapping her arms around my body.
"I love you, Astral. An illness isn't going to change that fact."
"But-"
A finger comes into contact with my lips. "Do you think my love is so fickle that an illness could stop it?"
My eyes widen. "No, that's not what I-"
Her lips curve upwards and peck my lips. "You're running out of reasons to reject me."
She's right… "You forget that I'm going to get married soon."
Laughter fills my ears as she kisses my neck making me shudder. "Honey, you and me both know that's just an excuse. You don't care for the marriage."
An arm snake around my waist pulls me closer as she cups my face. "Baby,"
My heart soars as my body responds to her soft caresses along my chest. I shiver to hold in a growl. "Lily, we don't need this."
"I need this."
"Correction, you want not need."
"You want me to, don't you?" She flutters her eyelashes as I gulp. Don't give in to my urges!
Her fingers dance along my chest in little strokes causing my breath to hitch as a growl takes over. Self-control… got to control my impulses.
She pins me down stroking my wrists with a smile. "Let's satisfy our desires tonight," A tongue licks my earlobe as I clench my jaw. "Shall we?"
That's it!
I immediately flip her over staring at her beautiful body with a dark gaze. "Do you know what you're saying? Do you know what position we are currently in?"
Her face grows red as she avoids my gaze. "I-I know." Really?!
"I don't think you do." My nose touch hers as the beat of her heart accelerates.
"You're in such a vulnerable position right now," The person beneath me shivers. "Do you have any idea what I could do to you at this very moment?"
"I… I know what you're saying." Her hot breath hits my lips. "But, I want you tonight, my love."
"Do you know what you're saying right now?"
The scent of arousal hits my nose as my best friend nods. Her cheeks flush like a light. "Yes,"
I really shouldn't be doing this… I… I stare at her amethyst eyes. I can't be doing this. "Lily, I…" My teeth clenches. "You're going to regret this."
"I won't." Her eyes shine with resolve. "I will never regret this, Astral. I waited for you to notice my feelings for five years now." Smooth hands cup my face as her lips curve into a smile. "Astral,"
I shut my eyes with a breath. "No. You are going to regret this. Let's just-"
"Why do you keep saying that?" Her voice cracks as I open my eyes once more to meet wet tears dripping off the side of her cheeks. "I know I'm nothing like the ladies you like. I'm not ladylike or feminine. I get that but why do you keep saying that I will regret?"
How should I say this?
I bite the inside of my cheek. "It doesn't have to do anything with you. It's me. I…" My fingers curl up into a fist as the woman beneath me sniffles. "Not only do I have an… illness…" An illness that is not really an illness rather it is a curse. "There are many things you have yet to know about me."
Her gorgeous eyes widen as I slowly run my thumb across her cheeks. "I just don't want you to look back on this day and hate yourself, hate me, for doing this to you."
My friend stays silent for a few minutes. Her gaze drifting downwards pursing her lips into a thin line. "I already said multiple times that I wouldn't regret this."
"As I said-"
"If there are things I didn't know about you," A whisper escapes her lips as she looks directly into my eyes. "I will learn. You may not feel comfortable revealing them to me right now but," Her lips curve into a small smile. "It won't mean you'll keep them to yourself later, right?"
About that…
"I know what you are concerned about. But baby, how many times do I have to say it? I want this." Her cheeks heat up as she avoids my eyes. "I want to spend this night with you."
"But I'm about to get married." My voice lowers to a whisper. "If we do this… I can't…"
"I understand." A hand takes mine placing it in the middle of her chest. "I understand you're about to get married but it doesn't mean we can't…"
"Don't you get it? If we do this, with The Princess in the picture… she will be my legal wife while you'll be… you won't be able to have a title and-"
"I don't care."
What?!
My eyes widen as she locks eyes with me. "I don't care if I become the third person in the relationship. We all know you are being forced into marrying her. You're dreading that day. So why not you choose who you want to be with?"
"Lily…"
"I love you, Astral. I don't care if I end up ruining your marriage. That probably makes me sound like a bad person but all I want is your happiness. Marrying a stranger is not going to make you happy.
"But you'll get labeled as-"
"The other girl? A mistress? The one who The Prince had an affair with?" She laughs. "I get labeled all the time. You think adding in a few more will scare me? Baby, I don't care about what they label me as nor I care if you actually give me a title or not," Her hands pull my neck down closer to her face. My heart beats faster. "All I care about is you. I loved you for years now, honey."
"Lily…" My nose brush against hers as a tear drop drips from my eye. "I loved you for many years as well."
"Why didn't you say anything before?"
"I wasn't sure if loving you would be the right move on my part." I confess as a weight lifts from my shoulders. "You always liked your freedom, to do whatever you want without anyone to boss you around but if you're with me," I shake my head. "You won't able to have the freedom which you desperately loved anymore."
She has always been free-spirited. Being trapped in the palace bound by its rules is definitely not her ideal place.
"Astral… you…" The woman beneath me let's put a sigh. "Compared to not having you by my side, the loss of my freedom is minimal." A hand touches my cheek. "The fact that you thought of my needs first," She blinks the tears away with a tiny sniffle. "I love you."
"Darling," My forehead presses against hers as our lips are centimeters apart.
"Please, my beloved." Her hot breath tickles my lips. "I need you tonight."
I…
My breathing grows heavy as I cup her face. "If that's your wish, I will grant it."
I lean down to kiss her neck as she squirms with a soft moan. "A-Astral…"
"Before I lose every ounce of control and start ravishing you," I whisper planting short kisses along her collar bone. "Are you 100% positive about this?"
I lean back as her face flushes from my actions before. "I'm positive. B-But," A tiny voice squeaks under me as I peck her lips.
"Yes?"
"Um… I-I… d-don't you think we should move to somewhere… softer?" Good point. We are on the carpet after all.
I hold back a laugh poking her cheek. "It's amazing how you can be sexy and adorable at the same time." She squeaks as my arms gently lift her up, carrying her to the bed and closing the canopy curtains.
I wave my arm to place a sound barrier outside the room as she stares at me with her heart thumping a hundred miles a second. "Now, are you sure about this? It's not too late to-"
Her arms pull me closer claiming my lips sucking it with a moan. I'm assuming that's a green light. My lips move to her collar bone roaming her neck as soft moans fill my ears. Her fingers grip my back pressing my body up against hers as her breathing labors.
"A-Astral," The person beneath me sighs as her toes curls. "Ah,"
My hands snake down to her breast caressing them through her blue bra as she lets out a gasp and stiffens. Uh-oh.
"Do you want to stop?" I ask removing my hand staring at her flushed face. "It's your decision."
She gulps. "I-I was caught off guard. No one has touched me there before…" I figured that was the case. By her general innocence of this whole thing, it's probably her first time.
I plant a lingering kiss on her forehead cupping her cheeks. "Look at me," Her beautiful amethyst eyes meet mine as my lips curve upwards. "I won't force anything upon you. If you feel uncomfortable then we can stop here if that's your wish."
A long pause comes from the woman lying beneath me as she takes my hand and places it on her chest. Her cheeks grow red as she looks away. "I-I don't want you to stop." She whispers timidly.
My hands gently unhook her bra throwing it on the ground as she gulps and immediately covers them with her arms. "They're… They're not that big…" What happened to the confident Liliana that I know daily?
My hands gently pull her arms away. "Why would you say that?"
"Um…" Her face grows beet red as I peck her lips.
"According to me, they look perfect on you. Not too small but not too big either."
"R-Really?"
I nod. "Mhm. They are proportional to your body size. Plus," My lips curve into a smirk as I gently squeeze her breasts. She lets out a soft moan gripping my shoulders tightly shutting her eyes. "They fit perfectly in my hands."
"A-Astral,"
My love moans as she pulls her arms back, feeling my warm mouth around her breast. While my mouth sucks on her right nipple I pinch the other softly. Her toes curl as she gasps.
"D-Don't stop," As if I will stop.
I bite, suck and pinch her sensitive nipples while fondling her breast with each hand as she arches back scratches my back with half-lidded eyes. They feel amazing! So bouncy and round!
"Oh my God!" Her arms pull me closer as my tongue runs swiftly all over her chest. My beloved rubs her private against mine making a growl escape as my member hardens.
"You're beautiful." I groan as her hands pull down my boxers revealing my erect member. Her face turns beet red as I descend rubbing her thighs as my love gasp with a shiver.
"Enjoying the view, my beloved?"
She blushes not looking away as I peck her lips. "Are you positive you want to continue?"
Her lips curve downwards. "Are you not enjoying this?"
"No no. I am enjoying this. It's just… After this…" I trail off as her lips pecks mine. There's no going back after this.
"I'm positive I want to continue, my love." Her eyes shine in resolve as I nod.
"Alright. Oh, and one more thing, are you on birth control?"
Her face turns bright red as she shakes her head. "N-No," Let's see… no conceptive. Hm…
I rock my hips into hers as I kiss her, trailing my tongue over the hickey that I left and kissing it lovingly.
She shudders as I spread her legs stroking her inner thighs. Her breathing labors as her hands grip my shoulder blades.
"A-Astral… I… um…" Her gaze looks down in shame. "T-This is um… my first…"
My lips curve upwards. "I already knew that, silly."
"You do?!"
A chuckle escapes me as I cup her cheeks. "Yeah. Regarding how innocent you are about these things and the way you act, it's pretty clear."
I grip her hand staring at her. "Don't worry. I won't do anything to hurt you."
"I know… s-sorry if I don't live up to your expectations…" My best friend whispers as my eyes widen. What? "I… I'm sure you've seen better and experienced-Mph!"
My lips swiftly connect with hers as my hands lift her chin to meet my gaze. "How could you think that?" I whisper looking at the person below me.
"I…"
"Liliana, I'm going to be 100% honest with you. This is also my first time."
Her eyes widen dramatically. "What?!"
"It's the truth."
"You're kidding!"
"No, it's really the truth." I run my fingers through my hair leaning down to peck her cheek. "It's the first time that I've done this."
She blinks in shock. "I always thought that you…"
"Well," I stifle a laugh. "You thought wrong. I thought I made it clear that just because I sometimes have meetings with clients at a hotel does not mean that I engage with them on a physical level. Didn't I tell you that before?"
"You did but remember a year ago when you came back with a lipstick stain on your shirt?"

I let out a sigh plopping myself on a chair near my parent's thrones. Note to self: Remember to schedule appointments earlier. At this rate, I will end up tiring myself to death.
My hands pour myself a cup of water as my father clears his throat. "Ahem, son,"
Eh? I blink turning my head towards him. Oh. "Father, Mother," I stand up from my chair. "Do you need something?"
They glance at each other not uttering a word as they brought their gazes towards me. Am I in trouble? Is this for accidentally breaking that antique vase? Darn it! I knew I should've replaced it before they noticed.
"Whatever it is, I didn't do it." I blurt out as my eyes widen covering my mouth. Oh great. Now I sound suspicious.
My best friend approaches me with curiosity in her eyes. "Um… Astral?"
"Hm?"
A finger points to the collar of my dress shirt. "Is that… lipstick?"
What?! My eyes drift down to where she was pointing and sure enough, a bright pink smudge is visible. How on earth did that happen? Aw, now my shirt's ruined. Great, can this day get any worse?
Her eyes narrow as she smelled it with a nod. "Yea… it's strawberry lipstick." And it's scented?!
My face pales. This shirt is ruined. Although, I guess I can use bleach to get it out, right? Does alcohol remove stains?
Her amethyst eyes look onto mine once more. "Who's lipstick is this?"
I shrug. "Must be from one of the ladies." Hm… but who? I'm going to bill that person for soiling my shirt. Is that too harsh?
"Ladies you say?"
"A woman?" My mother exclaims gasping in shock as her expression conveys a look of shock.
"Yeah, it must be one of them but who…" My eyes widen. Oh… her. "So it was her."
My mother's eyes narrow. "Who?"
Why is she looking at me so… "A client that I had a meeting with at a hotel…" I answer slowly in confusion. "Why do you ask, Mother?"
"Tell me, who was the woman you were with?"
I blink blankly. "But why? You normally never ask me about this-"
(Slam)
My friend flinches as she slams a hand on the table with a stern look. "Who. Is. She?"
What is up with her today?
"E-Enna," My father tugs her arm. "Calm down, I'm pretty sure he has a good explanation why the lipstick is on there."
She stares at him. "Honey, you're a guy aren't you? I think you would know why a lipstick stain is there."
"Yes but this is our son we are speaking to. He would never commit such an act."
"And even if he were," He gulps tugging her arm. "It's only natural for him to-"
"Eliphas," A murderous aura projects onto him. "He's only 17. You're not encouraging this behavior," Her fingers clench into a fist as she shoots him an icy glare. "Are you?"
"S-Sweetheart," My father steps back from her a bit. "I'm not but he's almost an adult and-"
"Almost does not mean is. Also, even if he is an adult, he still lives under our roof and care." A breath escapes her. "Honestly, I don't know what you're thinking anymore."
"I'm just saying that he should be able to take responsibility for his actions." Green and gold eyes meet mine. "Isn't that right?"
Uh… what are they talking about?
"Astral," Her eyes pierce mine as I gulp. I'm in trouble. "Tell me her name."
"But why…?"
He facepalms as my friend tugs my arm leaning closer. "Psst, are you that oblivious?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you know that when there's a lipstick mark on a man's shirt means that he's in an affair?"
An affair? "Like… a meeting…?" What affair is she talking about? Please let it be the business definition.
She pokes my head with a groan. "Oh, my, gosh,"
"No, honey, I mean an affair as in a… sexual affair." Her cheeks dust with red as my eyes pop out their sockets. A sexual affair?!
"What the-" I meet my parent's gazes as they breathe deeply. Holy moly… the lipstick mark on my shirt. They must've think that I…
"I-I can explain," I stutter looking at them. "It's not what you think. It's definitely not what you think."
(Flash)
Oh yeah… I didn't even noticed it until she pointed it out which lead to a very awkward conversation that I would rather not have ever again.
I let out a sigh. "Was that why you thought that I…"
"Yup."
My head slowly shakes. "Lily, nothing happened between her and I. That day, we were discussing about that month's situation and her lipstick accidentally smeared onto my white shirt." I confess as her eyes widen. "Nothing physical happened. Plus, she has a boyfriend."
"How can her lips get that close to your collar?"
"She was having a rough period with her boyfriend so I guess during our hug, her lipstick smeared onto my shirt."
She raises a brow. "You sure that nothing else happened?"
"I'm positive. Nothing happened that day besides that hug and handshake."
The woman beneath me chews on her lips with her face bright red avoiding my gaze. "Then how do you explain…"
Huh? "What was the last part?"
My friend's face turns crimson cupping her cheeks. "How are you so… g-good at this if this is also your first time?" An audible whisper rings throughout my ears as I stifle a laugh.
Phew, that sure eases the pressure a bit. Glad to know that I'm doing this right. Not that a being could mess this up or anything… it's purely instinctual.
"Glad to know that you're enjoying this, darling." I lean down to kiss her neck as her breathing grows heavy.
My breathing grows heavy as I pull away cupping her cheeks. "Do you want me to continue?"
"Would I let you go this far if I didn't?" She retorts with a gentle smile gracing her lips.
"Baby, don't think about what might happen in the future." A hand lays on my right cheek. "What matters is the present."
"And," Her cheeks dust with red as she gulps. "I… can't imagine my first time being with anyone else other than you."
Lily… My eyes widen as my heart thumps faster.
"I.. um… I want you, Astral."
Well, when you put it that way… I lean closer until our lips are centimeters apart. "I can't imagine my first being with anyone else either, Liliana." I whisper as my lips connect with hers.
The woman beneath me shivers as I slowly peel her matching blue lace panties throwing them on the ground revealing her forbidden area soaked in her juices dripping onto the bed. Ah, she's burning up. I can sense the heat radiating from it.
We lock eyes as the only sound was the ticking from the wall clock and our heavy breathing. No turning back now.
"I… uh," She gulps avoiding my gaze. "I… d-don't know what to d-do… I…"
I peck her cheek with a soft smile. "Baby, you don't have to do anything. Just let me pleasure you tonight. All I ask is for you to hold me close."
She nods as my nose rubs against hers. "I know I said this a million times but it's not too late to turn back."
"I won't ever regret this night."
"I love you, Lily." I whisper as I lean to closer to her lips tucking a strand of her black locks from her gorgeous face.
Her heart thumps against her rib cage as gem-like eyes stare up at me. "Astral,"
My lips meet hers as her hands grip the back of my head pushing me in closer as my body coils with hers.
"Mmm," A wetness flows from her private as she squirms in heat. "Astral~"
"Ah, Astral," Her breathing labors as I stroke her clit gently. "O-Ohhhh~"
Her fingers grip my back tightly as her back arch in pleasure. "A-Astral~"
My lips curve into a smirk. "Have I ever told you that your moans are very appealing and sexy?" I whisper as I lick her ear. My love gasps with a shiver as she strokes my member with various intensities making me growl loudly in heat. O-Oh my.
"And have I ever told you that your growls make me want you more, my beloved?" My body tensed as heat shoots up my being. I lick my lips using all of my willpower not to thrust in her. I can't lose control… not now… definitely not now!
My hands gently stroke her clit again as she whimpers in desperation. "I-I can't take it anymore. I w-want you!"
"You're not on birth control. If we do it now then-"
"Please, Astral." She moans softly stroking holding my member as my breath hitches. "I-I want y-you-Ah!"
Heat shoots up my being as a growl escapes my lips. No no no no! But once inside isn't going to impregnate her, right? Nope. My breathing grows ragged as I clench my fist. No, I can't. I have to control myself!
I hold her hands gently with a smile and claim her lips. "Stop me if you feel uncomfortable, okay?" Her head nods as she spread her legs out even more.
My tongue teases her clit as a gasp and moans escape her mouth. Slowly, I run the tip of my tongue around it, causing her hips to come off the bed with a gasp.
"Ah-Mmmmm!"
Her private, pulsing as I tease even more causing her to dig her nails into my shoulder blades as the scent of blood lingers through the air.
"A-Astral," Sweat drips off her forehead as a moan escapes her lip again. "M-More-Ahh!" More huh?
"As you wish, my beloved." My eyes narrow as I slowly penetrate two fingers in her entrance.
She stiffens and moans at the sudden penetration, arching against the bed. My mouth ravages her neck, licking it as she thrusts her hips into mine.
"Ahhh… A-Astral!"
I descend my way to her clit while still thrusting my fingers slowly making her groan in heat. "F-Faster,"
She groans loudly as I move my fingers in and out faster than before adding a third one making her scream as her eyes roll into the back of her head.
"Ahhh!" Her breathing hitches as my tongue returns to her clit thrusting inside her roaming and pumping my fingers deeply.
"Astrallllll!" My beloved shouts as she grips my back digging her nails harder than before. "Oh my God!"
"I-I… oh… think I-I'm about to-" A smirk crosses my lips as I curl one of my fingers.
"AAAAAHHHH!" Her eyes shoot open screaming in pleasure with her hips off the bed. My fingers thrust inside her again as she groans and grips my shoulders with sweat dripping off her beautiful body. I taste my fingers and smack my lips. Mmm. So sweet!
My lips plant a lingering kiss on her forehead as she opens her bright amethyst eyes to meet mine. "How was I?"
Red dust dusted her cheeks as she pouts cutely. "Why on earth would you ask me such a thing?" So cute!
I stifle a laugh as I crawl next to her embracing her beautiful body planting kisses down the nape of her neck. "A-Astral,"
"I want some feedback on my work, my baby," I mutter trailing my kisses lower down her body as she shudders with a moan.
"You were a-amazing-Ah!"
My beloved arches her back and squeaks as I cup her bottom gently. "Astral!"
"I can't help myself, beautiful." My hands caress her breasts lightly as her breathing hitch and grow ragged. "You taste delicious by the way." I wink as her cheeks turn bright red.
"Ahhh-Ohhhh~"
I roll on top of her again with a smirk. "What do you say?" I whisper licking her cheek. "Want to keep indulging ourselves?"
My love smirks wrapping her arms around my neck pulling me closer. "You even have to ask, my beloved?" She pins me down on the bed.
"What happened to the shy woman from before?"
A giggle escapes as she leans closer to my lips. "It's time for me to take the reins."
Her luscious lips cover mine licking the crease demanding for entry as I part and her moist tongue roams my mouth. The scent of flowers and vanilla intoxicate me. My hands roam to her hips and slip past it to her bottom giving it a light squeeze. She shivers pressing closer against my body carding through my light blue hair cupping my cheeks.
A growl escapes my lips as her hands left my cheeks and trail downwards to my chest stimulating my nipples.
"L-Liliana," I groan as she continues playing with them. I bite the inside of my cheek hard when she bites them ever so gently creating shockwaves throughout my body. O-Oh God!
Her smooth hands descend to my inner thighs stroking them as she looks at me with a smile. "How am I so far?"
"You're-Ah!" My eyes widen as she gently caresses my member. A giggle escapes her pink lips as she pokes it causing me to inhale sharply as it gets more erect. Calm down… I have to calm down… don't you dare do anything impulsive.
She tilts her head with an innocent expression. "Why did it get bigger?"
My heart thumps violently against my rib cage as she smiles innocently. That smile… I immediately pinned her down on the bed breathing heavily staring into her eyes. "Are you trying to make me lose my composure?"
"Perhaps," She winks with a giggle as my eyes narrow smashing my lips onto hers thrusting my tongue forcefully into the depths of her mouth. A moan and gasp escape her throat as my member pokes at her entrance. Uh-oh…
I pull back as her face flushes looking towards her thigh. "Astral-"
"No. We can't."
"I need you," We groan as she rubs her private against mine. I… perhaps once wouldn't hurt. No no no no no no no!
I suppress a growl as her hands stroke my member. "You're not on a contraceptive and I think you know what will happen if we do it now."
"I… ah!" My hands fondle her clit as her eyes roll back. "I know b-but-oh Astral!"
"Believe me, my love. The feeling is mutual." I cup her cheeks staring into her eyes. "But, we can not be impulsive on this matter," I utter softly crawling next to her.
She snuggles closer to my chest pulling the blanket to cover us. I lift her chin to meet my gaze with a smile. "The last thing I want is for you is for you to be forced into motherhood because of our carelessness and reckless behaviors."
"Astral…" Her tone conveys awe as a gentle smile crosses her lips. "I love you."
My hands stroke her soft locks pulling her closer. "I love you too, Liliana." My lips peck her head as she pecks my lips with a giggle.
A brief silence passes between us. I just had outercourse with my best friend. Wait, is it outercourse or intercourse? I don't know anymore but… My eyes drift to the being laying on my chest staring at the ceiling. This will change the dynamic of things.
"Baby, what are we?" Her melodic voice rings throughout the room. "What I mean is… we… what's our relationship now that we…" She trails off as I stay quiet. What's our relationship? Do we just go back to being friends? But friends don't sleep with each other. There are friends with benefits but that doesn't seem right either…!
"Do we go back to being friends?" Her voice trembles wrapping her arms around me tightly as a sigh escape my lips.
"Do you actually think we can go back to being just friends?" My hand lift her chin to meet my gaze. "When two beings introduce intercourse into the equation, their relationship gets complicated quickly."
"If that's the case," She bites her lip. "What are we now?"
"What do you want us to be?" I ask as she looks away.
"I…"
"We can't be friends after what just happened. What else can we be?" Hopefully, she gets the hint.
"Friends with benefits?" My eyes widen as I stare at her unblinking. Seriously?! She still doesn't get what I'm hinting at?
A chuckle escapes my lips as I pat her cheek. "Seriously? After what happened, you suggest we go from best friends to friends with benefits?" I raise a brow as she sighs.
"What else is there? Unless you want to end our friendship that is."
"Exactly."
Her eyes widen as tears glisten. "W-What?"
"You heard me," My lips curve into a smile. "I want to transform our friendship into something new?"
"Transform… our… friendship…?"
I nod as my lips peck hers. "Do you not get my intentions, Liliana?" My hands cup her face as her eyes slowly widen.
"Y-You mean…"
"People mistook us for lovers. So, why not correct their mistake? After all, some say best friends make the best of lovers."
Her eyes drift down as she chews on her lip. "But… the distinction of ranks between us…" Oh. Is that what she's worried about?
"Since when do you care about such a thing?"
I pull her closer as she stares at me. "You're The Prince of this world. You're going to be the future king." She gulps blinking a bit. "And I'm just a daughter of a Count."
"Why are you suddenly bothered by this?" I ask as she goes silent. Did someone say something to her about this? Is that it? She was never bothered by the rankings between us before. "Tell me, did someone say something about it?"
"N-No. I was just-"
"So someone did say something about it."
She looks down with a nod. "Liliana, I have never looked down on you because of your rank."
"But others do…" Others?
"Since when do you care what others think?"
Her lips curve downwards. "I… you're a prince…"
"What if I'm a prince? I'm still a regular being. My rank doesn't matter in my personal life." I caress her face. "Especially between us, my love."
"There are many other suitable women out there for you to choose from. They are all wealthier, beautiful, and-"
My thumb brushes against her lips with a smile. "Yes, there are many other women out there but, they're not you," I whisper as her eyes widen. "Listen to me, I have never seen you as inferior or anything less than me."
"But-"
"You don't need to bother with other people. Beings tend to get jealous of others when they are in a higher status than them. That's the psychology of it." I lean closer rubbing my nose against hers. "When it comes to love, it doesn't matter what rank you are, whether you're a commoner, a princess, or the daughter of a count." My eyes bore into hers. "I will always choose you because I love you."
Tears glisten as my thumbs glide across her cheeks drying them. "Even if people say that we can't be together because of our rank, my feelings won't change because, in my eyes, you're the only woman who is suitable to be my princess."
My love kisses me passionately nibbling on my lower lip as I return it caressing her beautiful face. "Do you really mean it?" Her voice shakes as I plant a peck on her forehead.
"Have I ever lied to you before?"
She blinks as her lips curve upwards and swiftly claims my lips again with a soft moan rubbing her private against mine. A growl emits from my chest as I pin her down stroking her wrists. "I love you, Astral," The person under me whispers panting as I nibble on her lips, thrusting my tongue and earning a seductive moan. I pull back to cup her cheek.
"The night is still young, my love." She shudders as my member pokes her thighs. "Let me show you how much I love you."
A sharp lustful gaze twinkles in her eyes as she wraps her arms around my neck. "That's what I was waiting to hear, my beloved."
"You shameless woman."
"I might be shameless," She winks with a giggle as I lean closer until our lips are millimeters apart. "But I'm your woman."
My heart thumps faster at her words as my eyes narrow. "That's right. You're mine. No one else can touch you but me."
A smirk grows on her kissable lips. "Well then, show me how you're going to prove that-"
My lips slam onto hers cutting off her sentence as I pull back with her expression slightly dazed. I lean closer licking her ear as a soft moan fills the room. "I'm going to ravage until you beg me to stop." She gulps at my sudden change in tone as my hand slips down to her clit rubbing it gently as she squirms. "So, get ready."
Hi again,
So, this is my first intimate scene. I promise it will get better as their relationship strengthens and matures. This intimate scene preludes but does not define what's in store as so far as I plan the intimacy between them.
Until next time!
