Astral's POV:

(Flash):

"Big brother, help me!"

(Flash)

My eyes snap open panting as I clutch my head. Why did I…?

A hand grips my arm gently. "Are you alright?"

I glance at her with a smile. "I'm fine." I haven't had that dream in so long. Why am I having it now?

"What's wrong." She cups my face with concern in her eyes.

"As I said before, nothing-"

"Baby,"

I let out a sigh and pull her into a hug. "My sister."

My beloved sister…

"Look at me," My beloved said in a soft tone. "I know you miss her. Everyone does."

"But you can't keep blaming yourself for it."

"Why can't I?" I mutter. "If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have…" I clench my jaw tightly. If it wasn't for me…

"You were 5 at the time."

"Regardless of my age, I should've-"

"Astral," Her eyes narrow and pulls me closer by the neck until our faces are inches apart.

"It's not your fault. Not a single person blamed you for what happened because it was not your fault."

"But-"

"No. Get it in your head, it was not your fault that happened. It was that Barian's fault. He sneaked up on you two."

"I should've seen it coming." My fist clenches. "I-"

"But you didn't." Her eyes soften. "No matter how powerful you are, you were only five years old."

"I…"

"You're powerful. You have power unlike anyone else." My love said softly with a smile. "But even you can't foresee every single event in life."

She's right. If I could foresee it, maybe…

"Didn't you say 'Regrets are impractical'?"

"Well yea but-"

"I know." She cups my face gently. "I understand but the fact of the matter is you can't keep blaming yourself over this. Over her passing."

My eyes shift down towards the bedsheets. She's right… but still… I bite the inside of my lip.

"My beloved," I meet her soft, concerning bright purple eyes. "It's time for you to stop regretting. Stop blaming yourself for this."

I stay silent as she leans closer touching my forehead with hers. "I miss her too. We all do but,"

Her eyes close as I can feel her breath tickling my nose. "She wouldn't want you to spend every day in the past like this."

A brief period of silence passes as I gently caress her face. She opens her eyes as a smile graces my lips.

"Thank you." We gaze at each other softly. She always knows what to say to snap me out of this. What an interesting woman she is…

My love returns the smile with affection in her eyes as she leans forward and kisses me on the lips. A seep of red flows to her cheeks as I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Did I mention she's adorable?

She is something else… Her porcelain skin shines like snow as soft, flowing black hair extends to her mid-back. Side-swept bangs fall on her face a bit as I gently tuck them back behind her ear. She is the epitome of beauty.

She blinks as her eyelashes flutter making her alluring yet mysterious amethyst eyes stand out even more. Such hypnotic eyes. Her head tilts to the side a bit cutely as my heart speeds up. Oh god, why is she so cute!

"Are you alright?"

Her sweet, melodic voice rings throughout my ears as concern laced her tone.

"Hm?" I blink not once removing my eyes from her.

"Are you okay?" Her cool hand comes in contact with my forehead as my heart rate accelerates. Calm down… don't do anything reckless.

"I'm fine." I shoot her a grin as she eyes me suspiciously.

"Really?" Her hand trail down towards my chest stroking it as a shiver shoots down my spine.

My darling gently pushes me back, hovering over me in bed.

"Because it looks to me," She trails down to my stomach, caressing it as I involuntarily let out a soft growl. Looks like I'm being seduced again.

"Like you're not fine." My seductress whispers leaning down to lick my earlobe as my breath hitch.

"Why do you say that?" I ask trying to keep myself from losing my composure.

"My beloved, your red face says it all."

My love places her full weight on me as her hands undo my belt throwing it with a clang.

Her hands once again snake their way up to my chest stroking it in circles as she flashes a sexy smile that can capture any guy. What happened to the innocent Lily?

She winks. Her eyes shine with desire and lust as my heart skips a beat.

"Astral," My beloved coos as she plants kisses on my jaw. I gulp as I try not to make any noise. Keep it together.

Her lips continue their path down my neck as my toes curl and my heartbeat quickens. Calm down…

"It's really late." A hand caresses my face.

"What do you mean?" I ask in my best innocent tone.

My darling wraps her arms around my neck with her lips inches from mine. "Do you honestly not know what I'm implying?"

Let's play with her a bit more. I tilt my head a bit in confusion. "What are you implying?"

"Do I need to say it?" Her cool hands slip under my shirt making me shiver. She uses her powers to take it off revealing my bare chest.

Hm… A grin appears as I immediately pin her down. Her eyes widen as crimson dust settles on her cheeks.

"W-What are you-"

"My my," I lean towards her lips with a lustful look. "You're quite a seductress huh?"

Her heart rate quicken as she gulps with a blush rising. "P-Perhaps…"

I stifle a laugh. Perhaps? You seduced me yesterday.

"Do you know how a man feels when a woman is lying under him?"

"H-How does he feel?"

I lean closer to her ears. "I believe you know the term arousal, right?" I whisper in a low voice as I lick her ear making shivers course throughout her body.

"A-Arousal?"

"Correct," I wink. "And do you know what a guy does when he is aroused?"

My beloved gulps as my hands trail down to her waist stroking it, feeling her curves lovingly as she lets out a soft moan. My lips trail from her cheeks to her neck, slowly sliding from side to side filling it with my slippery desire. She smells amazing! Mmmm, the subtle scent of flowers and vanilla.

My hands slowly unbutton her shirt slipping it off her slender frame. Her breath grows uneven as her face flushes staring up at me. I unclasp her bra. "W-Wait," I freeze as her arms pull me closer.

"Yes?"

"I want you to use your teeth to take it off." She whispers as my lips curve into a smirk.

"Gladly." I lean into her chest slowly taking it off as she softly moans. My hands descend past her hips slipping underneath her skirt. My love shivers and moans fill the room as I give it a hard squeeze.

"Ahhh~"

Something in me snaps as I tear off her clothes making them fly across the room. My heart skyrockets as I moisten my lips scanning her body with my piercing gaze. Her modest b cups, elegant thin legs, slim figure, narrow hips with slight curves to them, a firm bottom, and flawless skin. I gulp as I direct my gaze at her breasts making her cover them with her arms. How can a woman look so beautiful?

"W-Why'd you d-do that?" My beloved asks not meeting my eyes as I peck her lips and remove her arms.

My mismatched eyes meet hers. "Have I ever told you that you're beautiful, baby?"

Her heart thumps violently in her chest. "You're not just saying that because of my body, right?"

My eyes widen as I stare at her in appall that she can consider such a thought. "My love, how can you think that I value you just for your physical appearance?"

I cup her face. "I admit, physical appearance does play a role but it's not everything."

"I for one would never choose someone based on physical appearance or body type because that's not love." Although, it depends on the circumstances.

"I love you," I exclaim softly with a smile. "Not only for your physical appearance but your personality as well."

Tears glisten in her eyes as she stares at me lovingly. Have I said something wrong?

"I-I apologize," I said hastily trying to figure out what I said wrong. "I-"

Her soft, luscious pink lips collide with mine as my eyes widen. What?

Her soft breath tickles my nose as I relax into it placing my body weight on her. The lingering sweet scent of vanilla fills my nostrils as I part her lips a bit slipping in my tongue making her softly moan in pleasure.

"Mmmm…" She pulls me closer by the neck as our tongues fight for domination.

I tilt my head a bit, cupping her face as my hands trail down her collar bone.

A shiver shoots up my spine as a hand unzips the zipper on my pants.

I can feel her run out of air as we break the kiss breathing heavily staring at each other.

"Well," I poke her cheek playfully. "Someone's getting impatient huh?"

My love looks away with a tint of red on her face. "You're the one who tore off my clothes."

A chuckle escapes my lips as I lick her neck fueling a soft groan from her pretty lips. "Look at what you've done to me, my darling."

"W-What… ah… have I done to y-you-oh…" She gasps as I nick a spot running my tongue over it as she shudders.

"All day," Her toes curl as she grips the bedsheets. "I couldn't stop thinking about what we did that night."

My lips trail down to her chest as I feel wetness in between her legs. I gently bite her right areola as her toes curl even more. A loud moan escapes from her lips. She arches back as I stroke her wrist causing her to shiver. "It's causing me to go crazy." My mouth sucks on her areoles as more fluid drips from her womanhood.

"W-What are you… oh… planning to do about it-ah!"

My lips curve upwards as I gradually descend to her stomach stroking it, licking it, biting it gently causing her to breathe heavily and spread her legs with sweat dripping from her forehead. "Why, I'm going to-"

(Knock)(Knock)

My eyes widen as I turn my head towards the door. Seriously? This has got to be the worst timing ever. Just when we are getting to the good part.

My love clears her throat. "Who is it?"

"Astral, Liliana," My father calls out. "May we enter?"

My gaze shifts to the beauty lying beneath me. Her face reddens as she looks away. A smile graces my face as I lean toward her ear.

"You have no idea how hard it is to not have my way with you right now," I whisper in a low voice and kiss her neck softly.

"Mm…" A seductive moan escapes her lips as a look of pure satisfaction flashes on her face.

"What's stopping you?" Indeed. What's stopping me? She arches her back as I gently caress my two new toys. Soft moans ring throughout the room as I cover her mouth with one hand.

"Shh!"

My darling nods understandingly as my hands and lips roam her chest. Her nails dig into my shoulder blades as she tries to stifle any noises escaping her lips.

"A-Ah-"

I give her a passionate kiss to muffle the noises and stroke her clit gently. My beloved scratches my back nibbling on my lips as I hold in a growl.

"Son," My mother's voice calls out in interruption. "May we come in?"

Darn it!

"Do you two know what time it is?" I exclaim as I break the kiss panting from the lack of air.

"I know it's late but there's news about Barian World." My father said as I raise a brow. News? Hm… it could be rather important…

"If you're doing something then-"

"No no." I let out a sigh. "Just… give me a few minutes."

"Ok."

My eyes gaze lovingly beneath me with a smile. "Lily-"

"Mmm!" A whine escapes her pink lips. "Astral, you're going to stop when I'm this aroused?"

I give her a lingering kiss on the lips. "I don't want to but this news could be important."

Her lips curved downwards into a cute pout. "You're too cruel, baby."

A chuckle escapes my lips as I plant a kiss on her neck making her softly groan. "I promise, I will make it up to you once they leave."

"You better or else…"

"Of course," I lean towards her ear. "After all, we have all night to have fun."

I can hear her heart beating rapidly as her face flushes red. So cute. A smile graces my face as I use my powers to clothe us properly and get up to sit on the couch with my love next to me.

"All good?"

"Mhm." She swiftly pecks my lips as I stare wordlessly at her. My face heats up.

"Enter."

The door opens revealing my parents as they sit opposite on the couch. "Sure took you two long enough."

I snap from my daze sipping my water. "First of all, it's late. Secondly,"

I look at them with a serious expression. "What's the news?"

"We just found out that Don Thousand is going to use a fake Princess for the marriage." My father said as my eyes widen. A fake?

"Ok… that does make sense because the real one jumped off a cliff."

"Does that mean they breached the peace agreement?" My beloved chimes in as they glance at each other. Hm…

"Technically no…" My mother said after a moment. "Because we never anticipated Princess Starlight to jump off a cliff."

I nod in understanding. "True."

"I'm assuming the marriage is still commencing as normal?"

"Yes, you will get married to her as normal but don't let your guard down too much." My father states as I sigh. Of course, the marriage is still intact.

"Do you know anything about the replacement?" My love asks as they place their hands under their chins.

"Not that I know of but we will let you two know once we get the information." I guess that has to be what it is for now.

"Oh," My mother clears her throat and looks at us. "I'm going to try to make this short as possible but remember to stay safe while engaging in your activities."

Activities… what does she…!

My eyes widen as realization suddenly hits. My beloved blushes cupping her cheeks and avoiding my gaze. Looks like she gets what she's hinting at as well.

"Ahem, I understand, Mother," I said as heat flows to my cheeks. She stifles a laugh covering her mouth.

"No need to get so flustered you two." My father chimes in as my blush rises. Out of all the things to talk about… why this one?

"This is just a simple reminder that's all."

"Are you two not… angry?" My lover asks in a tiny voice as they blink.

"We just learned that our only son is engaging in sexual activity. Of course, we're furious." He said as I bite my lip. Here it comes.

"To be honest," She starts. "If you two weren't adults," Her gaze narrows as I flinch. Uh-oh… "Then you would be in huge trouble."

I gulp staring at her unwavering eyes. Of course, I would… wait for a second… "If I wasn't 18, why would I be the only one in trouble?" I ask in confusion.

"Wouldn't she be in trouble as well?" I gesture to my beautiful girlfriend as she cocks her head at me.

"And why would I be in trouble?"

"You were the one who seduced me last night remember?"

"Yea, but still, why would I be in trouble for that? You're the one who couldn't resist me." She mutters as I laugh.

"Couldn't resist you?" I chuckle and roll my eyes. "Of course, I can resist you, my darling."

"Mhm…" She eyes me with a smirk. "Says the man who immediately whisked me off to bed without a second thought."

"Well, what was I supposed to do last night? You were seducing me."

A giggle escapes her lips. "That proves my point entirely."

"Regardless, you were seducing me so you're in trouble too." I point my index finger at her with a smile.

"Isn't that right, Mother?"

We direct our eyes onto her waiting for a response as she sips her water. "Son, even though she seduced you, you still should've had enough self-control to not give in to your desires."

The woman next to me burst out into a laughing fit as she pokes my shoulder. "See? How am I the one in trouble when you're the one who fell for it?"

"If you didn't act that way last night then maybe I wouldn't have behaved in such a manner." I counter as she leans closer fluttering her lashes.

What is she…? "What are you-"

"Want me to act that way again?" She coos as I gulp.

Oh lord…

"Ahem," My father coughs as we look at him.

"This is all your fault," I whisper as she raises a brow.

"How is it my fault, my love?"

"You…" I slide my hand down my face with an exasperated sigh. "Never mind."

"It's getting quite late so we will be leaving." My mother said as they walk towards the door.

"Good night, Mother, Father."

"Rest well, Your Majesties."

"You two as well." My father responds as they stop suddenly. Huh?

"Remember to be safe and consent is of the utmost importance."

"I will keep that in mind," I shoot him a grin and close the door with a sigh.

Why is it the talk all over again? Once was enough and embarrassing as it was. Do they forget I have a photographic memory?

I plop myself on the bed with another sigh as my beloved lay next to me.

"Astral,"

"Hm?"

Liliana's POV:

"You really have to marry her?" I ask, avoiding his gaze and closing my eyes. I don't want you to get married!

Arms wrap around my waist as I could feel him shifting closer to my body. "Look at me." He tilts my head as I open my eyes.

"I don't want to but it's my responsibility." He exclaims softly as I bite the inside of my cheek. I get that but…

"I understand," I sniffle as tears start to leak from the corners of my eyes. "But do you know the pain I'm experiencing knowing that you, my best friend and the one that I love, will be marrying another woman?" This is all for the sake of this world. I shouldn't be sad… I should be happy.

"I don't want to share you with anyone else." I hug his chest tightly.

He strokes my hair with a small smile. "Silly, you seem to forget, this is a political marriage. There are no feelings associated with the subjects who participate in such."

I stare at him, cupping his cheeks gently. "You may say that now but who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe you will start to have romantic associations with her and-"

A pair of lips gently touch mine as my heart quickens. My lover leans back staring at me lovingly stroking the side of my hair. "Is that what you're worried about? That my feelings will change?"

I reluctantly nod avoiding his gaze. They are getting married after all… even though he said that there are no feelings associated with it, they will be sharing the same room…

"My heart will never change, Liliana."

My lover whispers as I look at him. "You of all people should know that I really mean it when I say the phrase 'I love you'."

My lips curve upwards as he leans closer and gives me a gentle yet passionate kiss on the lips making a soft moan escape my mouth. I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer as we break the kiss, breathing heavily with him on top of me.

"May I?" He utters in a gentle tone as my heart soars.

Such a gentleman. "You saw it all yesterday," I said as my cheeks heat up.

My hands caress his nape as he shivers a bit. I pull him down closer as my toes curl a little from his breath on my lips.

"Kiss me."

A mischievous smirk grows on his handsome face. "Always so direct."

"Why? Do you not like it?" I ask with my hands stroking his back slowly.

He chuckles, trailing his lips all over my neck. "Quite the opposite, my darling."

His hands trail down to my chest, caressing my breast very lightly as my breathing hitches. A jolt of electricity flows through me making my body shiver.

"Ahh… mmmm…" I can't resist but let out a small whine of desperation as his lips descend to my cleavage.

Cool hands slip under and caress my stomach making my breathing labor as intense pleasure flows through me.

I hastily undo the buttons on his shirt and slowly run my fingers across his lean chest, stroking it as he clenches his jaw. Huh… this is pretty fun to watch!

My hand slowly unbuckle his belt with a teasing smile as I casually brush my fingers against his member making his breath hitch.

"So impatient."

"Says the one who tore my clothes off. I don't think you know how much I want you, baby," I whisper while stripping him of his shirt, pants, and boxers.

A smirk crosses his face as he pecks my lips. "How shameless of you, darling."

Shameless? I giggle softly. "Says the man who whisked me off to bed yesterday."

"Are we going back to this now, my temptress?"

"Yup, and besides," I wink as my fingers dance across his body. "You want me as well, my dear husband." My fingers softly stroke his member as his breathing labor with sweat dripping off his lean yet muscular body.

A growl escapes his lips as he narrows his eyes like a predator gazing at his prey. Uh-oh…

"What's with that-"

In a single wave of his arm, my clothes scattered all across the room exposing my bare skin for his eyes to admire. Wow, he really likes tearing off my clothes.

"I'm going to run out of clothes if you keep tearing them to shreds, you know that right?"

"Eh, I could always mend them later using my powers." His eyes narrow with a lustful smile. "I was trying to hold myself back."

His eyes narrow. "But, it looks like you won't let me."

I gulp as his sweet and loving expression quickly morphs into a dark and lustful gaze. What have I done? The bedroom door clicks as he plops a pill into my mouth. What did he just make me swallow?

"What was that pill?" I ask in curiosity as his dark gaze reverts to normal.

"It's a contraceptive pill to prevent you from getting pregnant."

"Anyways," His gaze suddenly shifts back to a dark and lusting as my heart hammers. That gaze…

"B-Baby… um…"

He smashes his lips onto mine, closing the canopy curtains with his hands roaming all across my body slowly and excitedly.

As his lips trail down my neck, I arch back with a moan, planting little kisses and nicking a small part of it as I shudder.

"You're mine." He exclaims in a seductive tone as he kisses it lovingly with a smile.

My lover descends to my cleavage, licking it as my breathing labors. Oh god…

"Astral…" I dig into his shoulder blades to stifle a cry as he ran his warm tongue across my breasts. A hot, warm liquid flows out of my womanhood onto the bed.

"O-Ohhh… Mmmm…"

My hands pull him closer as he starts to caress them with a smirk. Every sense in my body goes numb as my lover massages it with one hand while sucking it, swirling his tongue on the areoles.

"Astral… Ahhh~" My back arch as the scent of blood fills the air. Oops… I must've broken the skin barrier.

His hands snake down to my private as I gasp at the sudden new sensation that sends me into overdrive. Electricity courses through my veins as my breathing goes ragged.

His fingers dance across my clit as I grip his shoulders resisting a moan.

"Ngh…" Breathe… I got to breathe.

A tongue licks it, swirling around my clit.

"Ahhh-" He quickly silences me with a loving kiss as he keeps teasing me down there.

"Mmmm… Astrallll~" I pant heavily with beads of sweat dripping from my forehead as my heart rate accelerates.

My beloved caresses my inner thigh slowly and positions himself for entrance. I gasp at the feeling of his member prodding against my entrance. There's no going back now.

"I will ask you again," My lover stares at me with a serious expression. "Are you absolutely, 100% positive that you want this?" Why would I not? Looks like a simple yes or no answer isn't going to convince him… Ah-ha!

I offer him a gentle smile as I pull him closer claiming his lips with passion. I nibble on his upper lip as he lets out a growl and returns the kiss with the same intensity.

We break the kiss leaning our foreheads together. "I want you."

"Are you positive?"

I cup his cheeks with both hands. "I'm being serious,"

We lock gazes as piercing eyes stare back at me. "Astral, I want you."

My chest moves up and down with my breathing as I stare into his gold and silver eyes. The corners of his mouth curve upwards into a gentle smile as he interlaces his fingers with mine.

"I won't make you regret this, Liliana."

"I know you won't."

Warm hands slowly stroke my inner thigh as my heart exponentially increases. My breathing grows ragged as his lips trail upwards towards my forbidden area.

"Remember," He looks at me gently. "If at any point you feel uncomfortable, say stop immediately."

"My love-"

"I know what you're going to say but I don't want to force anything on you if you're not ready for it." My lover confesses with a slight smile as my heart instantly melted. Astral…

I lean forward to peck his lips. "I love you, Astral." The fact that he said that…

A warm pair of lips connect with my forehead as he softly smiles. My boyfriend groans with lust before slowly pushing his hips forward. My breath hitches as a huge jolt of electricity flow through me. The two of us moan as he enters but stops. I stare at him as he leans to kiss my lips gently. This is it.

He fixes his gaze on mine as he slowly thrust his member in my entrance, making my eyes shoot open as tears glisten. Don't scream. Don't scream! I inhale sharply digging my nails in his back and clenching my teeth as a whimper escapes my lips. I-It hurts…

"This is only temporary." My love kisses my hand gently as I nod. A hand wipes my tears.

"I-I know," I respond in a shaky voice as he plants a lingering kiss on my lips. "If it is painful every time then no one would enjoy this."

His hand caresses my breast gently planting tiny kisses down my stomach as a soft moan escapes my lips. A jolt of pleasure courses through my body as his lips cover mine once again.

We break the kiss slowly as he cups my cheek sporting a loving and apologetic gaze. "Tell me, is it any less painful?" That look…

My eyes drift towards his right hand gripping the bedsheets until his knuckles turn white. Sweat drips off his body as he stares at me, not moving an inch as he grit his teeth. Despite his lust, he's watching my every move to see if I'm in pain or not. What did I do to deserve such a kind and considerate lover?

My hand moves towards his right hand unclenching it from the bedsheets and intertwining it with mine. His eyes widen as my lips curve into a smile. "How can I be in any pain when I have you right beside me?"

"Lily…" He whispers in disbelief as I gulp.

"You can move now, but slowly."

"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you even more."

My hand cups the side of his face as I peck his lips. "My beloved, the fact that you say that is restraining yourself from going further despite your desires," I stare at the man above me with a soft smile. "Proves that I made the right choice in loving you."

He stares at me not knowing what to say or how to respond as I pat his cheek. "Please, Astral, you're not hurting me doing this."

"But-"

"All I need to heal is you. It doesn't matter how much it hurts. As long as you're here beside me, I can get through anything."

We lock gazes with each other as he nods giving my forehead a lingering kiss. I grip his hand tighter as my love pulls out then insert it back in slowly as my body tenses. My hand grips his tighter as his other hand massages my breasts kissing them gently as I gulp. A soft groan causes me to arch my back as his member slowly thrust deeper inside of me.

He growls breathing labors as a moan escapes my lips. Electricity courses through my body as he thrusts deeper and deeper causing me to gasp scratching his back. "F-Faster," My love kisses the side of my neck as I moan loudly.

I grip his shoulders in satisfaction. "Ngh… Astral… Mmm!"

I rock my hips to his rhythm as his movements become faster and faster. He grunts in response as his hands knead my breasts. My heart quickens as jolts of electric course through as if I am going to burst at my seams as I grip his back tightly. "Oh my God!"

"I said faster!" I shout as a dizzy wave courses through me. "Ahhhh!"

"Ahhh… Astral… Oh my god…!" I moan as he quickens his pace with loud growls.

"You're beautiful." He groans as he thrusts in further and further making me shudder in excitement as I dig my nails into his back.

My mind grows foggy as something in me snaps. I quickly wrap my legs around his waist pushing him in me further as my breath hitches. "Ohhhh my God! My beloved… Ahhh… I want every inch of you in me!"

His eyes narrow as he slams full force into my womb. "AHHHHHH!" My eyes shoot open as the scent of blood from his back fills the air. "That's it! Yes! Keep going!"

"I never knew you wanted me this much, my darling." He growls against my neck as my toes curl.

My breathing labors as my eyes start to roll back into my head. "Astral~" I squeal as his hands play with my breasts roughly with a dark smirk. "You feel so good!"

My love bites my left nipple as I groan loudly arching my back as he thrusts faster. "So, you like it rough huh?"

I shiver as his hand slaps my bottom lightly. "Ohhhhh~" Why does this feel so good?

"You like that, don't you?"

"Ah… Yes!" My breathing hitches as he thrusts faster. His hand gives my bottom a hard squeeze as I moan. "Ohhh~ harder!"

(Smack)

"AHHH!" A scream of pleasure omits from my lips as he growls hotly. My stomach knots as the pressure inside of me builds up. "A-Astral… I-I think I'm about to-"

(Smack)

Electricity courses through my veins as he smashes into my womb. "ASTRAL!"

My heartbeat skyrockets as I dig my nails into his shoulders to relieve some of the pleasure. He immediately claims my lips stifling my moans and screams as he slams into me harder than before causing my body to respond instantly as a sticky substance penetrates my body at lightning speed.

My love growls as he pulls out slowly collapsing beside me, panting. Sweat drips off our bodies as we lay there gasping for air. Holy cow. That was… something else.

"Did I… go overboard?"

My chest moves up and down still catching my breath at the sheer intensity of this activity. "No, you were… magnificent, honey." I gulp looking to my left. "I never knew that this can be so intense."

A chuckle fills my ears as my lover's lips curve upwards. "And I never knew that you liked it rough."

My heart beats faster as my face heats up. Oh god. "I… uh-I…" Why on earth did I say those things?! Ah! What was I thinking?

His nose touches mine with a smirk. "And here I thought that you were innocent. Boy, was I wrong?"

My hands cup my cheek looking away as they heat up even more. Why did I say that?! "N-No, I d-didn't-"

His hands gently grip my face planting a soft kiss on my lips with a lustful look. "Oh? Correct me if I'm wrong but you moaned loudly when I spanked you." He winks as my face heats up even more.

"Uh… I…" My lips are millimeters from his as his hand trails down my back past my hips caressing my bottom as a groan escapes my lips. This feels soo good!

"My point exactly."

His member pokes against my thigh as I lean closer rubbing my body with his. He recovers fast! My beloved lets out a grunt as I pin him down on the bed. "What is it, baby?"

His lips met mine in a fiery kiss, his tongue easily slipping into my mouth. I pull him closer, holding him close and grinding his lower body against mine as he lets out a growl in heat. I pull away for air and look at my darling, his eyes sharp with lust, a look that made my insides clench.

My fingers trail across his chest in circles as I smile innocently. "The night is still young, my love."

"Plus," I lean closer as I kiss his neck softly. "You've done enough for one night. Just relax and let me handle this."

His lips curve into a smirk. "Let's see what you can do, my wife."

A giggle escapes my lips. "Is that a challenge?"

"What if it is? What will you do?" I lean down with a wink.

"Just watch me, my love."

I only hesitate for a moment before gently grasping his member and moving my fingers along his shaft. He takes in a long breath through his nose, labored breathing can be heard.

I begin to lick it, swirling my tongue as a pulsing comes from his member. My lover reaches for my head, grasping his fingers in my long locks as I look up at him.

His face scrunches up in pleasure with ragged breathing throughout the room as he bites his lip.

"Enjoying yourself?" I tease as my hands toy with his nipples, stroking them clockwise while gently biting the tip of his throbbing member.

"Ahh, Liliana~" He moans lowly, gripping the bedsheets tightly while tilting his head back.

As my fingers toy with his chest, stroking it in various intensities, my tongue licks him from the base to the very tip. His breaths become sharper as I continue the action.

Beads of sweat drips from his face as he half-closed his eyes with a moan that made my heart pound.

"Mmmm!"

Soon, I pull my hands away from him so they could both wrap around his length, caressing it gently as his breath hitches suddenly. "Say stop if you feel uncomfortable." I direct my gaze to him as he nods with lust clouding his eyes.

My mouth cautiously bites the tip of his member as a seductive growl comes from my lover. Only this time, I descend further down his length.

"Oh, Lily…!" He grips the bedsheets stifling another moan as I continue to go down on him.

I eventually got down to the very base of him as a husky growl fills the room. My beloved moans even louder as I bring my mouth down on him completely. It's so warm and big. I can barely contain it in my mouth.

"God, Liliana!" He growls his body curling into mine, his hands gripping the bed sheets tightly. Here it comes.

His breathing grows sharper as his heart thumps wildly in his chest. "B-Baby, I'm going to…!"

As soon as he utters those words, my eyes widen as something hot and thick shoots into the back of my throat making me cough a bit as I gulp, spilling a bit of it on my breasts. Salty with a hint of sweetness. He catches his breath, eyeing me with lust and even more desire than before if that was possible. "Oh my God~"

"How was it?" I ask, planting soft kisses on his neck and nicking a spot as he tenses with a grunt.

"I don't want anyone else to have you except for me," I whisper licking his ear a bit as I lick my fingers, scraping the thick liquid off my chest. "You taste delicious, my love. Mmm~" I wink at him as I take my index and middle finger in my mouth winking a bit.

Suddenly, he pins me down, kissing me ferociously, not showing any mercy. When he pulls away, he smirks at the sight of the slightly dazed expression I'm sporting, and how quick my breath was coming. I got him right where I want him!

"Where did you even learn to do that?" My beloved asks huskily as he starts trailing kisses down my neck. My toes curl as I grip his back tightly. As if I will tell him where I learned it from.

"That's a… secret." I pant as we lock gazes with each other. That look… His eyes darken with desire and a cunning and mysterious smirk flashes on his handsome face. "Because of what you did, I won't even bother holding back anymore." Yes! I blink. Is it normal to feel this way after he growled that phrase?

My lips curve upwards. "I'm all yours." I look down not meeting his gaze. "Whatever you want me to do, I'll comply to your every wish, Your Highness."

My beloved's eyes narrow as he lifts my chin to meet his piercing eyes. The lust and desire mix with the dominance storms from within as a dangerous yet handsome look cross his face. Looks like that book is correct after all.

(Flash):

"You can't be so innocent all the time." He swings his arm around my shoulder as I raise a brow.

"Huh?" We sit on the chair across from each other sipping our milkshakes. "Whatcha mean?"

He sighs and takes out a book. On it reads, '10 ways to please and turn on a man in bed.' Turn on a man? "Here, read this."

I take it and skim through the pages with a confused look. "What's this book about?"

"Seriously?!" He facepalms his face with a groan. "Did your parents teach you nothing about guys?"

I blink blankly as he shakes his yet again. "This book is a valuable tool for people like you."

"Hey!" I furrow my brows. "What is that supposed to mean?"

He sips his milkshake again with another sigh. "Here," He opens it up to a random page and points to it. "Read it for me."

I shrug and lean forward. "Guys tend to like being dominant in the bedroom while the female is submissive. This dynamic causes the two people engaging in this activity to have an increased arousal state." What on earth does that mean?

"Do you get it now?"

"Yes. Why are men always the dominant ones? Why not the females? What happened to gender equality?" I ask as he groans loudly.

"You… that's not the point!" He flips to a random page again. "Read this."

"Men enjoy it when women take the lead." The lead?

I raise a brow. "What lead are they speaking of?"

He grips his hair in frustration. "Liliana, you have got to be kidding me!" He shouts as I sip my beverage. Why is he so angry? He gulps a deep breath. "It's not entirely your fault that you're innocent about this matter."

"Ok, read this-"

Suddenly, a hand rapidly takes the book away and snaps it shut with a glare. "Seriously?"

"Why are you showing her this book?" My friend's eyes narrow as I gulp.

"Oh come on," He looks at me. "She's 17 years old. This is common knowledge amongst us teens."

"Zachary, I have told you time and time again not to fill her mind with those things."

"She's 17 years old, Astral." He stresses. "Besides, she's going to have to learn this sooner or later, you know that?"

My friend stares at me and then looks back at the book in his hand. "Yes… but not now."

I tilt my head to the side. "What are you two talking about?"

"See? My point exactly!" He throws his hands in the air. "I don't know whether to call you innocent or naïve."

My hands quickly snatch the book from him as he grips it tightly. "I wasn't done seeing it." I tug it in my direction as he tugs it in his direction.

"You're not reading this kind of book."

"I want to see it though."

"You're too young."

"Too young?" I raise a brow. "I'm 17. How is that too young?"

"Astral, if she wants to read it then-"

"Not one word from you, Mister." My friend snaps his gaze towards him. "After this, we're going to have a little chat."

"Your Highness," A man with brown eyes walks up to us with a bow. "You have a meeting in the next five minutes at the Palace Diner."

His eyes widen as he glances at the clock with a sigh. "If I'm late I'm never going to hear the end of it from Elena." He mutters letting go of the book and turning toward the butler. Elena?

"If we go now, we should-"

"Who's Elena?" I ask as he starts to walk towards the door.

"A lady that will yell at me if I'm late. See you later and Zachary," He spins on his heel pointing at him. "Don't show her anymore of those books."

(Flash)

My beloved's eyes narrow. "You're playing a dangerous game, Liliana."

"I know." I shoot him a smile spreading my legs wide open as he gulps. My eyes drift between his legs as his member stands to attention. This is going to be interesting. Let's amp it up a notch. "Do whatever you want with me, Your Highness." My hand lays on his cheek gently as he grits his teeth suppressing a low growl. Time for the kicker!

"I'm yours… sir."

His eyes widen as he pins me down, breathing labor with a low dangerous growl. "You want to play huh?" My chest thumps as he leans closer to my ear. "Well, to refuse a request from a lady is rude. So… let's play, my beloved."

Not bothering to give any warning, he shoves his hand into my entrance forcing two of his fingers inside of me. T-This…

I stiffen and moan at the sudden penetration, arching against the bed. He grabs one of my breasts and starts roughly kneading it, smirking darkly at the way I mewl in pleasure.

"Ahhh… A-Astral!"

He continues to ravish the skin of my neck with open-mouthed kisses as he increases the pace of his fingers. Adrenaline flows through his veins, making his heart pound loudly.

I groan loudly as he moves his fingers in and out faster than before, his kisses moving down to my collar bone and the top of my chest.

"Oh, God, Astral…!"

My heart rate increases to the point of no return as he fingers me deeper and deeper. "Oh my God!" A pleasure-filled squeal escapes my lips as he starts to toy with my clitoris.

My breath hitches for a fraction of a second as the overwhelming sensation made my toes curl. I dig my nails into his back, drawing blood as a warm tongue licks my chest.

"Astrallllll!" My back arches even further. I yell his name as electrical currents soar in my body. At this rate…

A smirk graces his lips as he inserts a third finger inside me. I gasp as he pumps them quickly.

"Oh, dear God!" I moan, as all my senses went into hyperactivity.

"B-Baby, I'm… g-going… t-to-"

I let out a whimper as my insides tighten. My beloved smirks at the sound and presses his thumb against my clitoris.

"Astrallllllllllll!" I shout as the overwhelming pleasure oozes out.

I gasp as my back arch violently, and my eyes roll back in my head. My insides clench around his fingers. My entire body tenses a bit then relax. I catch my breath as he caresses my face and pecks my lips gently.

I slowly open my eyes to meet his, now normal gaze. "Still good?"

This is incredible! "I… want… you," I exclaim still catching my breath as his eyes widen.

"Really?" He exclaims in shock sporting a gentle gaze.

"Unless you don't want to…" I trail off looking down.

"No no." He hastily grabs my hands. "I'm just concerned about you over-exerting yourself that's all." He's got a point… this is our first time after all.

"It's your decision, my darling."

Hm… I take his hands and place them gently on my cleavage. His eyes narrow and lean down until our noses are touching. "I was hoping you would choose this as well, baby."

My heart thumps as I flush. He pokes my cheek with a loving gaze. "What's there to be embarrassed about?"

I gulp as his breath tickles my nose. "You were the one who said you wanted me, did you not?"

"A-Astral…" My face grew bright red as he buries his head in my cleavage making a soft moan escape my lips as his hands pleasure my clit gently.

"A-Ahhhh,"

"You really are a seductress." M-Me?

"O-Ohhhh…" His tongue circles my breasts as I let out a soft moan while arching back. Electricity flows throughout my body as it stiffens and relaxes as his hand roams with kisses trailing to my abdomen.

My lover looks at me with a gentle look. "You're beautiful, Liliana."

My heart races as he kisses me tenderly. "Baby,"

"Yes, my enchantress?"

"When did you realize that you love me?"

He blinks and cups my face, leaning his forehead on mine. "I don't know

"You don't know?" I ask quietly as he pecks my lips.

"Yeah, I don't know when I fell for you."

That's not clearing anything up. "Give me a date or an event of some sort?"

"Do I have to?" He pouts as I stifle a giggle. Did I mention he was adorable?

"Yes,"

He sighs and buries his head in my chest. "Hm… April 11th."

April 11th…! My eyes widen as I look at him in disbelief. "You mean…" I cup his cheeks with my heart beating rapidly.

My lover nods in confirmation as a seep of red dust his cheeks. "The day I got you that ring about two years ago."

"But you said those rings represent friendship…" I trail off as he fetches my ring off the bedside table and flips it over.

"I guess you have never noticed."

I hold the ring close and stare at it with shock and disbelief. There's an engraving on this… how could I possibly miss it?

"I love you." He utters out in a soft voice. "Of course, when I picked out this ring, I had the ring engraved with those words without any hint of romantic intentions whatsoever."

"Of course, you didn't." I roll my eyes and poke his cheek.

"But over time, the more I think about it, the more I realized how much you matter to me." My love strokes my hair, not even once breaking eye contact. "Not just in a friend sense but as something more."

My heart blooms at his words. Butterflies flutter in my stomach as a smile graces my face. I don't know what to say…!

I pull him down to claim his lips with passion as he returns it, letting out a growl and breaking the kiss panting slightly.

"So, I'm assuming this isn't a friendship ring?"

"Well, it was at first but I guess with the mixed messages behind it…" He trails off. True… this is a promise ring after all.

"You've got a point." I closely inspect the ring. "Our friends said it looks like an engagement ring." Hm…

"It's a promise ring. It's similar in style but not as extravagant as an engagement ring."

"But I guess the diamond is misleading."

"Yea, it is."

My eyes widen. "Oh, by the way, what are we going to do about these?"

A look of confusion morphs into realization as his lips curve upwards. "Silly, it's a promise ring. It can symbolize many things whether it's friendship or romance."

He kisses my hand gently. "If you don't want to wear it then-"

"Why wouldn't I wear it?" I interrupt him cupping his face with our lips inches apart.

"As you probably know, since the day you gave me it, I never took it off," Except for showering and/or doing any strenuous activities like this.

"I'm going to continue to wear it. Not only does this ring represent friendship, but it also represents our newly found relationship as well."

My love tenderly kisses me, parting my mouth a bit and slipping his warm tongue as I softly moan and stroke his member which hardens at my caress.

"W-Wait a… minute." I pant as he pulls back with concern.

"Is something the matter?" He asks with a gentle gaze as I place my ring back next to his on the table.

"Nope," I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer with a wink. "Now, please continue, baby."

"Someone's demanding so much attention today." He teases as I feel my face heating up.

He pecks my cheek as his lips trail down, planting kisses on my neck, trailing his tongue as I moan softly.

I close my eyes as his hands slowly roam my chest. A gasp escapes my lips as I can feel him biting the side of my neck. I shudder as his tongue traces the mark lovingly. As a warm liquid flows from my private staining the sheets, my breathing grows uneven.

"B-Baby… pe-people will notice… ah!" I stammer out to the best of my ability while he caresses my inner thigh, licking my breasts as electricity flows throughout my body rapidly.

"O-Ohhh~ mmmm."

"Oops… I got carried away." He apologizes but his tone and smirk say otherwise. Of course.

"No more hickeys, got it?" I said in a serious tone as another moan escapes my lips.

"Got it." A growl can be heard as my breathing labors. I sink my nails into his back aching against the bed as heat pulses from my womanhood.

His hands spread out my legs as my heart ticks like a time bomb. "Wow," A chuckle escapes his lips. "You're dripping like a fountain."

My breath grows ragged as heat shoots up my being. "That's… oh… your fault… Astral!" His finger strokes it in circles.

"Oh? Care to explain how it's my fault, my seductress?"

I arch my back as my hips come off the bed with a jolt. His tongue licks it gently stimulating the bundle of nerves as I bite the inside of my cheek. "You… ah!"

"I what?"

"Y-You… ohhhh… you're the one who… mmm… caused this!"

"So, it's my fault that you're like this?" His lips curve upwards as he shoves all five of his fingers in my entrance.

"AH!" I scream at the top of my lungs. My body convulses as he pumps them in and out slowly building momentum. "Oh my God!"

"Harder, Ah~"

(Smack)

"Astral~" My senses heighten as he roams all over my body.

"So you like this huh?"

"Oh… Yes! Oh god yes!" I moan loudly as he smacks me harder.

(Smack)

"Ahhhh!" My back arches as he flips me around so that his hand gets full access to my bottom.

"You… (smack) feel… (smack) so… (smack) good!" He groans as a dizzy spell course through my body.

"Ohhhh~" The intensity of each smack gets harder but not enough to cause pain as I shudder. This feels… a-amaaaazing… Mmmm~

His hands flip me over again and take his fingers out licking them slowly as my breath labors. So hot! His lips smack together with a smirk and swiftly claim my lips. My arms pull him closer smothering his delicious mouth stifling a moan as he pulls away panting.

"Who knew you're so naughty, my beloved?" His breaths tickle my nose as my chest moves up and down.

"And I never knew you liked spanking me so much," I whisper back as he leans closer brushing his lips against mine.

"Well, I can do whatever I want with you, my love." His eyes narrow dangerously as I lick my lips.

"You know what? I think I'm beginning to like this new side to you."

"You do huh?"

My lips curve upwards pecking his lips. "I love everything about you, Astral." His eyes widen as I lick his delicious lips hungrily. My love growls soft sucking on my upper lip as he parts laying our foreheads on each other. "Of course, how can I not love this hot and sexy side of you?"

My beloved pouts. "Are you saying how I normally act isn't hot?"

I stifle a laugh pecking his cheek. "Of course not. I'm just saying I like this side of you in the bedroom." My cheeks heat up as he smirks.

"And I like this side of you too, my darling." A hand rubs my thigh sending jolts of electricity down my spine as my breath hitch. "This naughty side that you haven't shown me before is very appealing." He whispers with a wink.

"Ready?" His eyes convey such emotion that makes my heart skyrocket. How can he make me feel so aroused with a look on earth?

My lips curve upwards. "Do you really need to ask me that? I voiced my opinion earlier."

A chuckle emanates from his lips as he pecks my lips. "I suppose you're right."

My lover caresses my thigh as I felt his member penetrate my entrance. "Astral…" I grip his shoulders as he thrusts deeper making my senses numb.

"Oh, Astral!"

"B-Baby…" My face scrunches up in pleasure as I arch my back. "Faster… Mmmmm!"

Upon hearing my request, he penetrates deeper into my womb rapidly as low and primitive growls escape his mouth. "H-Harder!"

"A-Ahhhh… Ohhhhhh!" Electricity intensifies as I scratch his back with my eyes half-closed because of the overwhelming sensations.

Another moan escapes my lips as he thrusts even faster pushing himself and slamming against the edge of my womb as my legs shake violently. My internal muscles cramp up as a dizzy spell courses through me. "Ah! Astral… I-I'm reaching my l-limit!"

All my muscles stiffen as my stomach knot and my eyes shoot open digging my nails into the bedsheets. "I-I'm going to-"

My darling quickly kisses me passionately as I muffle a cry, sucking on his tongue. With one final hard thrust, his seed shoots through my body as he falls into my chest with beads of sweat falling.

That was… words can't even describe what I just felt. We did our best to catch our breaths as the heat disappears. I involuntarily shiver at the sudden onset of the cool room as my lover pulls the blanket to cover my body.

"Thanks."

He smiles as he gets off with an arm gently wrap around my waist. "Don't mention it, baby."

I snuggle closer to him as he kisses me on my forehead. "I love you."

My lips linger on his a bit then pull back as my heart thumps. "I love you too!"

He laughs and strokes my hair. "After what we just did, you're still embarrassed?"

Heat rises to my cheeks as I avoid his gaze which made him laugh harder. "It's not funny," I mutter. He tilts my head, stifling a laugh with a cough as he stares at me.

"You were fantastic tonight." My darling whispers in a low voice and winks sending shivers down my spine. H-How can he say something so…

I smack him gently on the chest. "But I didn't do anything though,"

"Oh? That is where you are wrong." He leans closer to my ear. "Pleasing me is one thing and looking so sexy laying there is another."

I shiver yet again as he purrs seductively. Was he always this seductive? That might explain why girls are on him 24/7. Not to mention his really attractive appearance that can swoon just about any woman.

"D-Don't say those things."

He kisses my temple and pulls me closer so that I lay comfortably next to him. "Alright, alright, I'll stop."

I let out a breath of relief as my heart calms a bit. Looks like I won't be having a heart attack.

"But, you really are sexy." My beloved purrs, kissing my neck softly as a moan escapes my mouth.

"Astral!" I exclaim with my face probably an unhealthy shade of red as he ruffles my hair teasingly.

"It's the truth, baby." He said innocently as my heart fluttered.

S-Still… He rubs our noses together with his breath tickling my nose.

"You just love teasing me, don't you?" I giggle as he peck my cheek.

"As you should already know." He smiles softly.

I kiss his nose as a blush surfaces a bit on his cheeks. "You're not too bad yourself considering people ask you out daily."

A smirk flashes on his face. "Do I sense a hint of jealousy in your tone?"

I scoff and roll my eyes. "Nope. And why would I be jealous of those other women?"

My eyelashes flutter as I bring him into a lip lock. "Why would I be jealous when you are right here beside me?" I snuggle against his chest as a hand tenderly strokes my hair.

"So," A mischievous gleam sparkle in his eyes as he smiles. "If I flirt with someone… And let's say that person kissed me…"

My eyes widen as I snap my gaze towards him. Wait for just a second…

"Oh?" I ask with a bit of anger showing.

"When did this happen, my love?"

He blinks with a head tilt. "A few days ago."

A few days ago?!

My arms wrap around his neck tightly as I glare at him. You have got to be kidding me! Ok, ok, stay calm…

"Do I happen to know who this lady is?" I ask sweetly with my lips inches apart from his.

"Yup." He replies simply as my eyes narrow. I do?! It can't be Maria or Star… can it? No, they won't do that… hmm… then who else can it be? Actually…

"A random guess but is it Maria?"

"What?!" My love pulls me closer embracing me. "Didn't I tell you that we are just friends?"

"Ok, my bad." I giggle patting his cheek.

(Flash):

"Astral!" A girl with blonde hair and ocean blue eyes ran up and tackles him into a hug as he smiles.

"Elena?" His eyes widen in surprise as he hugs her tightly. "What are you doing here?"

"Do I need a reason to talk to you?"

He lets go and takes a couple of steps back. "Of course not but usually, you come to me when you require something."

She rolls her eyes. "You make me sound so horrible."

He cracks a smile and shakes his head. "So, what can I do for you?"

She places her hand under her chin as she suddenly cups his face planting a kiss on his lips making his eyes widen.

They stand still for a few minutes then lean back.

"Think about what I said." She throws him a wink then struts out the door.

(Flash)

My eyes slightly widen. Could it be her?

"Can I have a name, my beloved husband?"

He blinks in confusion. "Why?" Why?! He's asking me why?!

"I'm curious who kissed you that's all."

"Don't you know who I'm talking about?" He chuckles as more anger builds up in my chest. So my deductions are correct after all. He was talking about her!

I resist the urge to hit him. Ok, hitting him won't do a thing. Got to control my anger.

"Let me guess," I said after a moment of silence as I stare intensely into his piercing eyes. "Is it that cute, blonde hair, blue-eyed beauty you talked to a few days ago?"

His eyes widen as his mouth parts a bit, not saying anything. Signs of a guilty conscience…

"You were there?" He utters after a few minutes of silence as my eyes narrow. He didn't even realize?!

I glare at him with my anger rising. "I don't blame you for falling for her. After all, she hails from nobility, looks attractive, and is suitable wife material."

I direct my gaze toward him. "Any man would be lucky to have her as a wife." I finish bitterly turning my back to him. Am I… jealous of her?

My lover stays quiet for a few more minutes staring at me in what seemed to be disbelief as he laughs and wraps his arms around my waist pulling me towards him. "You're right, a guy would be lucky to court her."

I don't even know what to say anymore… actually… I lied.

"Why you-" I bite my tongue to prevent saying something that I would later regret. "If you like her so much why don't you marry her then?" I mutter quietly as he shakes his head kissing my neck as I let out a soft moan. Curses!

"I'm afraid that's not possible."

I roll my eyes. "Right…"

He sighs. "Honey, I don't see her that way and you know it." Don't see her that way huh?

"That day," I began calmly. "You two were alone in the room and as I was walking by and eavesdropping, I saw you two kissing on the lips!" I shout turning to him and jabbing my index finger into his muscular chest.

"It's not-"

"Tell me, if you don't like her then why kiss her on the lips?"

"You misunderstand-"

"Really?" I roll my eyes with a bitter chuckle. "You two kissed on the lips of all places!"

"Liliana, listen to me-"

"What's there left to explain? A kiss on the lips is self-explanatory. It indicates romantic affiliations for someone."

"Why you-"

A pair of lips slams into mine as my anger instantly ceases. His tongue ran over my lips asking for permission as I part my lips to grant entry. A soft moan escapes my mouth as we broke the kiss with him staring at me gently.

"Elena and I are innocent." He explains quietly. "We never kissed."

"I saw-"

"She noticed you were peeking through the door crack so she pulled me very close to her face to see your reaction."

I blink blankly. To… see… my… reaction?

"Trust me when I say that our lips never touched. Yes, we were very close to each other but nothing like that happened." Like that day with him and Maria.

Hm… I guess from the angle where I was standing… it looked like a kiss.

"But then why did she want to see my reaction?" I ask in confusion as he smiles.

"She wanted to convince me that you liked me as well so I followed along with her plan."

Oh… "Well that doesn't explain-"

"She really is wife material if I'm being honest." He interrupts me.

I hit his chest making him wince a bit as my lips curve down and roll to the side once again. "Hmph!"

A pair of arms snake around my waist and pulls me closer with a chuckle giving me a peck on the cheek. "Even if I wanted to court her, which I don't because I don't see her as a future romantic partner, I can't."

"Why is that?"

He turns my body to face and gazes at me lovingly. "She doesn't see me that way."

I shrug. "Maybe she does… I mean like you don't know her true feelings."

"I'm very confident that she does not see me as a romantic interest. I can tell you that for certain." Why is he so certain about that?

"Why? Does she already have someone she likes?"

"She has a fiancé."

Oh… so that explains why he was so confident.

"Yea," He states after a few minutes of silence waiting for me to digest the situation. "That's why even if she did kiss me back then, it wouldn't mean anything besides a simple lip press between two people."

Hm… "Really?"

"I promise," My beloved cups my face with a smile. "The one I love is you and only you." I snuggle closer to his chest burying myself in its warmth.

"Have you figured out the person I was talking about?" Hm… it's not any of our friends… um… nobody comes to mind.

"Who is she?"

He laughs wiping a tear from his eyes and pecking my lips. "You."

What? I blink in confusion. "How can it be me?"

"Remember a few days ago we kissed and I flirted with you?"

A blank expression suddenly transforms into a one of realization as I gasp. "You were talking about me all along?"

My beloved's lips touch the side of my eyelid softly. "You didn't realize?"

Nope. I didn't even think of myself. "I didn't,"

"You were jealous of yourself this whole time, my baby."

My heart beats faster as I feel my face heats up. Great. I can't believe that I'm jealous of myself. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck.

A laugh resonates from him as he moves closer to bury his head in my chest, an arm wraps around my waist as a shade of redness crawl to my cheeks.

"B-Baby?"

His eyes meet mine with a smirk as he pins me down. "What do you say," My heart stops as he licks his lips seductively. "Want to keep this going?"

"But I can't even feel my legs," I whine as he smiles with a glint in his eyes. Something tells me…

"You can't feel your legs huh?" His eyes switch to concern as his hand massages my thighs. "Is it better?"

Surprisingly yes. I nod as he smirks. His eyes cloud with lust and desire that makes my spine tingle. Uh-oh… I'm screwed! "A-Astral… it's 3 am." I glance at the clock and then look back at my boyfriend.

"So?" His lips brush across my neck as I bite the inside of my cheek. "You're the one who said that I can do anything I want to you, am I correct?"

"Y-Yes but-"

"Exactly," His warm tongue licks my cheek with a smile. "Besides, you're legs are the only place that's sore. That doesn't hinder anything else that I might do to you, my love."

I gulp as my body shivers. His tone. "I… uh-"

Soft lips touch mine gently with a loving smile. "Liliana-" My hands pull him closer by the neck claiming his lips once again tilting my head as a soft growl escapes his lips. I think I'm addicted to his lips or something.

My eyes open to meet his with my cheeks flush. "Stop talking and make me yours already."

A chuckle escapes his lips. "You're already mine but I will gladly pleasure you again." A pair of lips trail down my cheeks to my neck as I softly moan.

"A-Astral~"

"Now that I know you like it rough," A tongue licks my cleavage as my back arches. "Let's come up with a safe word." A safe word?

"A… oh… safe word?"

My darling pulls away pecking my lips as my breathing grows heavy. "Just in case things get too intense. When you say that word, I will immediately stop." Ohhhhh… hm…

"It can be anything?"

"Absolutely anything that you can remember."

In that case… "Cantaloupe."

He blinks raising an eyebrow. "Cantaloupe?"

I giggle. "Yup. It's completely random so it won't get mixed up with other things."

"Alright." My love pecks my lips. "Let's start and remember, say 'Cantaloupe' if you start to feel uncomfortable."

My body shudders as his warm and loving gaze morphs into one of lust and danger. How can he switch so quickly? "Now that's over with," His eyes narrow as a grin surfaces.

Perhaps this wasn't a good idea after all… his grin…

"A-Astral, u-um…" My voice trembles as cool hands stroke the side of my hair.

"Stop talking and spread your legs." My love leans closer to lick my ear as I hold in a moan.

W-What?! I gulp as he leans back. "Y-Your tone…" Why does it feel like I'm the prey?

"Is something the matter, Lily?" I shudder as a warm tongue traces my collarbone. My breathing labors as I feel a wetness flow in between my legs.

Oh lord. "N-Nothing is the matter." I stutter as my private pulses in heat aching to be filled. How can I be this aroused already?

"Then," The man on top of me mummers in my ear as my breath hitch. "You know what to do."

His… dominant tone… why do I find it so exhilarating?

My legs slowly open as he licks his lips dangerously meeting me gaze. "I'm going to make your body so sore that you will remember this night till the end of time." He's serious.

"P-Please," I look down lowering my head and biting my lips. "B-Be gentle."

Who am I kidding? Just fill me already!

Woah… I blink as I internally shake my head. Where did that thought come from? Why am I acting so… lewd? Is something wrong with me? But… My mouth goes dry as I gulp. My chest moves up and down with each breath that I take. Argh! The way his body fits into mine is so… so… perfect… I…

A huskily, low, primitive growl fills the room. "Gentle?" His lips curve upwards into a smirk. "You must not know me very well, beautiful. I don't make love."

He grips my chin tightly forcing me to look at him. His eyes flicker between lust and loving. He's acting. He's just acting but why do his eyes look so deadly? "I fuck hard."

My eyes widen. Did he just… curse? "W-What?" He never cursed before…

He winks before smacking my bottom as jolts of electricity flow through me. "I will ravish you until you're sore all over." Uh-oh! At this rate, I will be sporting a limp tomorrow, or in the worst-case scenario, I won't be able to walk at all!

"W-Wait for a-oh!"

"I'm going to fuck you all night long, my beloved."

Oh, shoot. I'm not going to be able to walk tomorrow after tonight.
