"Why are you avoiding me?" She asked in return, turning her eyes to look into his deep blue ones.He stared at her for a moment, his eyes flickering cautiously to her lips. "Do you not want me to?"Do you not want me to?How could she want him to?All these days that flew by, she spent them all longing she would catch a simple glimpse of him, in the hallway, at the dining table, anywhere... He was always nowhere to be found. She yearned for a glimpse of him, no matter how brief, even if it was a shadow! And he thought he wanted her to avoid him?!"Why would you think that?" She asked, a small furrow between her brows, her face so close to his, he could smell the faint taste of alcohol on her, she had clearly had a few shots, although to his surprise, she seemed very stable, as though it barely had an effect on her, he had thought she would be very lightweight, or perhaps it was only one shot she had, not enough to have much of an effect. "I don't know...." He breathed, wearily. "Yo
"Hazel..." He breathed, his eyes keen. "You can't leave."She shook her head lightly, "I would go mad if you make me stay."His gaze fell to the floor, "what would I do to make you feel better about staying?"She glared at his creased forehead. "Stop. Acting. Like I don't exist." She gritted out one by one. His eyes lifted up to her, "okay." He breathed, "I would have breakfast with you every morning.""And dinner" she added without a snicker. "Okay." He nodded, "breakfast and dinner done. What else?""You would spend time with me, if you don't want me going out on my own. It's your choice." She shrugged her shoulders. He smiled, she was being bossy about it, and secretly... He liked it. "Yes, your highness." He chuckled, taking a step closer to her once more. She nearly laughed, but she tried to hold it in, her lips curving to the side and pressing together. "That should be all for now." She said. He nodded understanding. "As long as you don't go to risking yourself outside agai
We seem to have forgotten our favorite couple back at the club. Anna was still in a state of blatant surprise when they spotted Luke and Luca when her friend pushed last her sprinting for the exist. She considered going after for a moment but on a second thought as she watched Luca hurry down the stairs and go after his runaway bride, she stood behind. Afterall Luca would never harm her friend and if truly the honeymoon couple gave not caught a glimpse of each other since the wedding two weeks ago, now was the perfect time to catch up wasn't it?She turned back to the staircase where Luke was staring at her with watch seemed to he a mixture of admiration and mischief. She shrugged, rolling her eyes at him with a half smile and turning back to the bar. He would come down and come over, she knew it. And just as she expected him to, he did. She could sense his presence behind her even before turning her head. The dominating presence of hid aura and the smell if his coffee like cologne,
Anna felt her resolve melting at his proximity, his confident faze and the flickering of his eyes to her lower lip all has her feeling like she was standing in a pool of fire. All it takes is his breath against her neck to have her feeling wetness pooling between her legs."Luke..." She says breathlessly, leaning against him. "Yes, Anna?" He exhales, leaning closer.Something about the at he says her name has her body feeling restless with need. She doesn't know what is breaking her resolve, if it is the beauty and charm of his dark eyes and angelic features combined or the scent and dominating aura of his cologne.She can't tell, but what she knows is she wants Luke to take her home with him tonight. To run his hands down her body and lift grr off the floor so she can wrap her legs around his rigid body. Anna isn't thinking anymore. She leans in closer and so does he, and just got when she thinks he would take her lips in his, he leans down to her ear, whispering. "You look temptin
Breakfast with Luca had gone well. Hazel was satisfied, and even as she sat in a chair by the corner of a window in a library, holding a flipped open book in her hands, she was smiling to herself. Dinner time was almost near afterall, he would be home again soon and once again they would have dinner together. She had picked her food quietly and slowly all through breakfast, watching him from beneath her lashes.He on the other hand chewed through his food eagerly, his eyes only glancing over to her a few times as he did so.Hazel could not understand it but the very fact that they were having breakfast together was simply enough to make her entire morning.She no longer felt like she was being suffocated in this huge castle.She discovered the door to the garden today. It was very neatly kept with flowers trimmed an pruned beautifully, arranged so well it seemed faeries would absolutely enjoy flying through the flowers if there ever truly was such a thing as tiny humans with equall
His father? Luca's brows reminded in a furrow upon receiving that bit of information.He had received an invitation back to his hometown from his father. Insisting upon an early arrival. Frankly, he had expected this would happen eventually. They would hear of the wedding of course, of Hazel. They would want to meet her, but not this soon. It's been only two weeks hasn't it. He turned to the man, a frown on his face. "Tell him we wouldn't be able to make it right now."The man's eyes widened a bit. "But sir, he already made all the preparations. He insists upon your arrival, and he said something about coming himself with your mother if you wouldn't be able to make it."Luca scoffed, shaking his head lightly. He knew his father and mother could be very petty once they wanted something. He wouldn't be surprised if they did worse that turning up at his other to scrutinize every each and bit of his effort with narrowed eyes and touchy hands. He wouldn't want that at all.He nodded rel
Luke turned in his seat upon Luca's announcement of a sudden trip. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, staring at the floor. "Well... That is quite the news." He mumbled.Luca stretched, massaging the back of his neck with a palm.It hurt from his many restless night of staying awake drowning himself with work, and frankly, a massage would feel life changing at this point. He hissed, "this feels like a set up.""It might me." Luke mumbled, "I mean, the festival of the moon is drawing close. I am very sure he wants you to be there for it. And it only seems fair, since soon you should be taking your position as heir."Luca hissed. He hated to be reminded of that very responsibility of replacing his father someday. It was a burden he had been made to carry on his shoulders for a long time now. The reason his parents sort utter perfection in everything he did, in everything he spoke. The reason they couldn't bare to let him live like the rest of his siblings. His entire life was simply a t
The sky was still dark and asleep when they set out for the journey.Day was yet to break when a maid knocked at Hazel's door to remind her to get ready for the long trip ahead. Groggy, yawning and stretching she dragged herself off the bed. She had showered, dressed up, combed her hair and was now waiting with the group by the car for the guard to load up to the car with their bags. The group consisted of her, Luca, Lucinda and Luke. Lucinda was in her usual dark attire. She had offered Hazel a loop sided grin when she walked over. Luke was staring at his phone, and Luca stood indifferently with his hands tucked in the pockets of his dark pants, he had spared her an acknowledging nod and a casual good morning."We are done sir." The suited man turned to Luca, dusting his hands and bowing lightly.Luca nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Is everyone ready?"Lucinda leaned away from the car, stretching her hands. "As I would ever be." She grinned.Luke on the other hand wasn't as excite
