Chapter 75: The punishment of a kiss

Chapter-75

"Umm, how did you know I was here on the terrace?" Elliana tries to engage the prince in her small talk so that he forgets about this so-called punishment that she knows nothing about.

Sebastian knew what Elliana was trying to do, but he decided to play along until they were back in their room.

"I went to the room to call you for dinner since it was in the way and noticed you weren’t there. I asked Miss Zoya if she knew where you were, and she denied it. I looked out the window, and it was raining heavily.

Now no matter how big this mansion is, I know you can be found in a few spots only. Since it was raining, it wasn’t hard to guess that you would be here on the terrace," Sebastian explained, and Elliana bit her lips.

Was she so easy to decipher?

"I...uh... So you have started to know me well," Elliana said, and Sebastian smirked.

"Uhuh," He said.

As they started to near their room, Elliana’s heart picked its pace, remembering the punishment.

Though Mr. Marino has been a gentleman to her, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t believe that he can be rude too. Besides, Miss Zoya told her how the youngest prince was the cruelest of all, didn’t she?

What if he was angry because he couldn’t find her and had to come to the terrace? Or because he was carrying her wet self and dirtying his clothes too? Elliana bit her lips in anticipation as the door opened and Sebastian put her down.

"First, dry yourself and get ready for dinner," his voice was void of any emotions but still soft to Elliana, and thus, she didn’t suspect what was going inside his head.

She only felt weak in her heart, thinking about all the things he could do to her. From chaining her to the wall to whipping her, locking her in the dungeons with other vampires and convicts, and starving her, it could be anything.

Everything she had suffered so far in the human kingdom started flashing in front of her eyes, and she didn’t like the familiar feeling of dread.

Sebastian could notice it. What started as the increase in her heart pace because of her being embarrassed and startled was now turning into something dark and fearful.

What was she fearing? He wondered as she vanished into the washroom and hummed at himself.

After changing into a light blue comfortable cotton dress, Elliana walked out of the bathroom, and her eyes went wide when she noticed the Prince standing near the balcony. Shirtless.

"I will look into it," Sebastian paused when he felt her presence, and he turned around, enjoying the expression on her face even more as her eyes went even wider.

"I... Uh... I... " Elliana turned and tried to walk out of the room in a hurry, hitting her forehead on the door, and Sebastian looked at her, amused.

"Stop," he said, and she froze in her place, completely forgetting about the punishment as her heart raced for a completely different reason now.

She closed her eyes, the image of his shirtless self roaming in her head, and she bit her lower lip.

"Did I tell you to leave, princess?" Sebastian stood right behind her, the heat from his body making Elliana shiver.

He turned her around with one hand and looked at her forehead to see if it didn’t form a bump, all too well aware of her shy gaze on his chest.

"I will talk to you later," Sebastian ended the call and stuffed his phone in his pants before looking at his Princess with a new glint, wanting to tease her.

"Shall we get into your punishment before going to the dinner table?" He asked before bending to her eye level when he didn’t receive any reply.

"Okay. I’ll.. take it. The punishment," Elliana stuttered, and Sebastian took out the cloth from his pocket.

"Here," Sebastian said, and Elliana looked back at him, confused.

"It’s a blindfold. Don’t worry. I will bring a longer cloth to tie your hands," He mused, and she hurriedly took the cloth from his hand.

She struggled to tie the cloth in place. Her scrunched brows and wrinkles on her forehead as she pouted her lips made Sebastian want to chuckle at her funny expression.

"Let me," Sebastian pulled her close without warning, her face almost hitting his chest.

Elliana looked at the wheatish skin in front of her, and her throat went dry. She had never felt these kinds of emotions for anyone as much as she felt for him. It was as if her heart was telling her to be naughty and kiss the skin in front of her. And she was amazed at her own thoughts.

However, the vision was soon removed from in front of her when the Prince tied the blindfold.

She didn’t know where to turn or what to hold and felt vulnerable. However, she didn’t have to struggle for long because Mr. Marino held her hand and placed it on his chest, making her jerk away immediately as if her hand was electrocuted.

"Are you still shy, my princess? You are the bride of the youngest and darkest prince in the entire vampire kingdom, yet your prince has been nothing but gentlemanly to you. Don’t you think you should reward your Prince with something?" Sebastian asked, and seeing Elliana’s confused expression, he smirked before supporting her on the door and locking the bolt.

He bent and picked her bridal style, almost making her squeal.

"Don’t you think it’s about time you start fulfilling your duties as the wife of the prince?" Sebastian sat on the bed, making her sit on his lap.

"Lock your arms around my neck," He commanded, and she did as she was told, well aware of how close her body was to him now.

"Will it be okay if I kiss you? That’s your punishment," Sebastian said, and Elliana bit her lower lip, making him shift his gaze to her lips immediately.

"Since it’s a punishment, who am I to intervene?" Elliana asked, and Sebastian looked at her helplessly.

Does she have any idea how cute and alluring she sounded just now?

"I want it to be with your consent," He said, and Elliana nodded.

What would go wrong with a simple kiss, no? Besides, it’s not like he would be kissing her for real. He will kiss her from above the mask. If this was her punishment, she was ready to take it a million times. Elliana felt her cheeks getting hot at the thought of being kissed by the prince.

"I give you my consent to punish me," Elliana said, and Sebastian smirked.

"Hmm," Sebastian said, and his eyes turned reddish-golden as he looked at her lips with a lust he always kept under control.

"Don’t take your words back later," Sebastian whispered before placing his forehead on hers.

It was warm. It was hard but soft at the same time, and the realization of how his skin felt dawned upon Elliana. The prince wasn’t wearing his mask anymore. However, it was too late to realize it because the next thing she knew, his soft lips touched hers.

It was as if the fireworks exploded in her heart. It wasn’t even close to what she felt when he placed his lips completely on hers.

He didn’t rush it. He didn’t want to. This was their first official proper kiss. For a few seconds, he didn’t move and just enjoyed the touch of her rose-petal soft lips. After what felt like an eternity, he moved his lips softly with hers.

Sebastian pressed his lips further into her lips and placed her gently on the bed, both of their eyes closed now. He placed his hand under her head, his other hand sensually cupping her neck.

He licked his lower lips softly, and she gasped at the sensation that ran down her spine all the way to her womanhood.

If the butterflies flying in her stomach was an expression, it was exactly what Elliana was feeling, and she found her hand wrapped around Sebastian’s neck, tightening.

She took a deep breath when Sebastian moved his mouth to another angle, their noses rubbing softly, and a moan escaped her lips, giving him enough chance to slip his tongue in her mouth.

Sweet. That’s what she tasted like.

It was meant to be a normal kiss. Sebastian had no idea that what he wanted just to be a teasing act would turn into a full make-out session with her.

He explored every inch of her mouth with his tongue, entangling her tongue with his, tasting her, probing her boundaries that no one had ever touched like he was doing.

It was magical beyond what he had expected.

This was his first kiss despite being a vampire on whom girls throw themselves. He had never thought about being intimate with anyone ever before, but today, he didn’t know what came to his mind.

The more he tasted her, the more he wanted her. She was sweet like honey, the kind of honey that only he wanted an exclusive right to. The soft noises her throat was making, oblivious to her, were like the soft music he wanted to hear to calm his heart and anger every time he was not feeling well.

He shifted his hand from her neck to under her waist, wanting to feel more of her.
