Chapter 708: confession

"I think I’m falling for you."

Dora looked up from her book in shock as she heard Kael’s words. "What?"

Kael gave her a pained smile. "Come on, babe. You can’t be this clueless. Why do you think I’ve been coming here every evening for the last two weeks?"

"To watch movies?"

Kael narrowed his eyes at her at this and Dora grinned," No? Then to study?"

She giggled at his expression and then shrugged," Well, then you tell me. I don’t know. You come here because you’re probably bored out of your mind?"

Kael grimaced and, taking the book from her hand, threw it aside on the table. "Hey! My bo..." In the next moment, he pulled her onto his lap, positioning her so that she was straddling him, her hands resting on his broad shoulders, his hands on her hips as he let her sit on his lap

"You! Stop playing games with me," he said, his voice low and insistent.

Dora giggled, but her heart raced at the sudden closeness. She could feel him under her as she sat back down on his hard thighs and the sheer naughtiness of sitting like this, sent a thrill through her.

She knew she was falling for him too. Kael was kind, humorous, and easy to get along with. There was also nothing pretentious about him. She liked spending time with him. She’d even toyed with the idea of not making this a short-term relationship, especially since he was already royalty. But the reality gnawed at her: could she truly have a long-term relationship with someone she loved without it being overshadowed by politics? Being with him would undoubtedly thrust them into the public eye, where every move would be scrutinized.

Kael pinched her thigh lightly, drawing her attention back to him. She winced, glaring at him as she rubbed the spot. "What was that for?"

Swatting her hand away, Kael gently rubbed the stinging skin himself. "You were ignoring me, lost in your own thoughts," he complained.

Dora couldn’t help but smile at his possessiveness. She cupped his cheek and pinched it gently. "If you pinch me next time, I’ll bite you!"

Instead of being threatened, he actually grinned, his eyes darkening with playful mischief. "Where? I could show you a few places."

She swatted at his shoulder, rolling her eyes. "Why is your mind always on shameless things? Come on, let’s study."

But as she moved to get off his lap, Kael’s hands slid down to grip her thighs, pulling her even closer as he suggestively thrust his hips upward. He slid her over his lap with a smooth motion, his strength evident in the way he handled her. "Do you think you can escape so easily?" he murmured, his voice husky.

His hand cupped her neck, his thumb tracing her jawline with a feather-light touch. He applied subtle pressure to bring her closer, their lips just inches apart. "What about the answer to my confession, hmm?"

"What confession?" she teased, her breath hitching as she met his intense gaze and she continued. "I think I might be falling for you... you call that a confession? Kael Ignis! Are you skimping out on me?"

Kael grinned, his teeth flashing in a roguish smile. "Me? Skimping? You’re the one who’s ashamed of being seen in public with me."

Dora’s smile faltered as she looked into his eyes, seeing the vulnerability he rarely showed. "You know that’s not true. Its not about being ashamed." she whispered.

"Then tell me why you won’t say yes to even a simple invitation to dinner, hmm?" he challenged.

"You know why," she began, her voice wavering. "The media will start to—"

"Knowing your reasons doesn’t make it easier to accept, Dora," Kael interrupted, his tone raw with emotion. "I want to go out with you, show everyone what a lovely woman I’ve had the chance to be with. But you insist on keeping this a secret. I almost feel like I’m some kind of dirty mistress to you."

"Kael..." Dora’s voice cracked, guilt washing over her.

But before she could say another word, Kael captured her lips in an angry, demanding kiss. The suddenness of it took her breath away. His aggression shocked her, but even in his anger, his hands remained gentle, cradling her as if she were something precious. His kiss was a fierce claim, but it wasn’t just anger she tasted; it was desperation, longing, and an overwhelming need.

Dora tried to pull back for a moment, overwhelmed by the intensity, but her resolve quickly crumbled. She couldn’t resist him. Helplessly, she responded to his kiss, her hands gripping his shoulders for support as his mouth moved over hers with a ferocity that made her insides melt. She snuggled closer, meeting his demands with her own, pouring all the unspoken words and feelings into their kiss.

His hand slid under her skirt, kneading the flash there as he possessively pulled her close. She broke the kiss and looked down into her eyes, seeing the feral look in his eyes making her want more..."Kael..."

"Dora..." He murmured her name even as he pulled back, while she tried to kiss him again.

Her eyes darkened," Are you going to punish me by holding back your kisses."

" I won’t be punishing you, no," he answered breathing hard as he pulled her close, burying his face in her chest. His warm breath on her skin there, made her ache... and then he placed an open mouthed kiss, making her moan as he finally complained,"I am going to make you go crazyl So crazy that you will want to scream to the world that you belong to me. And only me."

Dora pushed her fingers through his hair, tugging lightly, but instead, he bit her, just where her shoulder and neck met, marking her as he licked and then suckled at the spot. She knew it would leave a bruise and yet, she felt herself melt into his arms, pulling him closer still.

In the next moment,however, he abruptly slid her onto the couch and marched out of the room, leaving her flummoxed.
