Chapter 190: Draven love’s me?

Draven continued to kiss Rhea, his mouth was moving and exploring hers in a kiss that was both gentle and demanding. Rhea desperately tried to maintain her sanity as she was aware of their surrounding, but as soon as his tongue slipped into her mouth, she surrendered.

With a suppressed moan, she leaned in closer, allowing him to part her lips. He immediately responded by tightening his arms

around her, keeping her close to his chest. His mouth opened hungrily, his tongue delving into her mouth and caressing hers like he was trying to devour her right there and then.

Heat ignited inside Rhea’s body; she arched her body against him, her hands instinctively reaching to stroke his neck and run through the soft hair at the back of his head as she enthusiastically returned his passionate kiss.

The two were completely lost in the moment that they became unaware of their surroundings. All the people gathered around the palace ground looked at them in disbelief. Mothers were quick to press their hands on their children’s faces.

Rhea didn’t know why Draven was suddenly kissing her like this in public, but then the urge to breathe made her press her palms on his chest to push away. That was when he seemed to snap back to his senses.

Eventually, Draven let go of her lips, and there was a subtle, wet sound as their mouths reluctantly separated. A glistening trail of saliva remained for a brief moment, symbolizing the passionate connection they had just shared. Even though he had stopped kissing her, his strong arm still encircled her waist, and their foreheads were pressed together.

Rhea, breathless and with a deep flushed face, looked into his blue eyes. But what she saw in his eyes made her frown; his blue eyes swelled with tears that looked to be of relief.

Draven felt his throat burn with emotions that threatened to come lose. He was relieved beyond words. This moment felt like a dream to him, he almost couldn’t believe Rhea was safe and sound in his arms, she wasn’t dead, she was here with him. And that realization made him unwilling to release her, because he feared he might lost her again.

As the two continued to stay like that without breaking the moment, the people around the place started to go back to their chamber one after the other. However, Ethan who had watched the two kiss in front of him like there was no tommorow, felt a stab of jealousy clutched at his heart.

"Have you two got no shame at all?" He stepped forward, "Kissing in a public place where little children are present!" His voice slightly shook as he looked from Rhea to Draven, "It’s inappropriate. Now, release her Draven!"

Rhea snapped back to her complete senses. She hurriedly tried to push Draven away as she was now aware of her surroundings, but instead of releasing her, Draven pulled her into his embrace and tightened his arms around her waist. He used one hand to cradle her head to his chest, while his other arm was holding her tightly against his body.

"You are alive, she didn’t kill you." He mumbled softly against her hair.

Rhea was stunned by those words, but then she nodded, "Yes...yes, I am alive." She craned her neck back, "Why did you think..." He didn’t let her finish her words, he pulled her back against him, and gently began to pat the back of her head like he was coaxing a child.

"Everything will be fine from now on, I promise." He muttered softly again, while silently vowing to cherish her from now on.

Rhea was silent, but she simply reached her arms around his narrowed waist and soothingly began to run her hand up and down his back. "I am alive, I won’t die..." She softly assured against his chest.

***

Rhea returned to her room as Draven was taken to the healing pool to heal the injuries in his body, and she also needed to freshen up because she hadn’t gotten to do that since yesterday. However, even though she had taken a bath, her body was still hot from their earlier kiss, and the tingling sensation in her lower abdomen hadn’t subsided, it was like their kiss had ignited something inside her that wasn’t going down until...

She had no idea what she needed to do. But then what confused her was Draven himself. Why had he kissed her like that in public?

Rhea’s mind was swirling with countless thoughts as she sat in front of her dressing mirror with a comb that had been long forgotten in her hand. She absent-mindedly played with her hair strands as she thought about Draven. He was a puzzle she couldn’t understand.

Rhea was so lost in thought she didn’t notice when Lilac entered her dressing room until, "My savior!"

Rhea jumped on her chair at the sudden voice behind her. She almost lost her balance on her chair, but quickly controlled herself and turned around. "You scared the soul out of me, Lilac!"

Lilac grinned, "My savior, you smell like a dragon in heat, is you alright?" She asked.

Rhea’s face turned red, she awkwardly rearranged her hair and turned back to the mirror. However, when Rhea raised her gaze on the mirror and sighted Lilac’s reflection, her eyes widened in disbelief at what she saw, she turned back to face the fairy again.

"Heavens, what happened to you? You look grown up!" Rhea exclaimed as she sized the young woman in front of her with beautiful features and bright purple eyes. She hadn’t noticed Lilac a moment ago, but now she did. The little fairy seemed to have magically grown up, she looked as tall as Rhea.

"Aye, Myself has finally grown." She proudly spun around for Rhea to see her. "After myself helped you from that man In the morning, you were so satisfied that you satisfaction was enough to feed me to magically grow up. And now myself is no longer little lilac."

Rhea couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at the beautiful young lady before her again. Her Purple hair poured around her shoulders in waves. Though she was now as tall as Rhea, she was a very tiny lady with a slim physique. With large cute purple eyes that reflected the room’s light.

"You are a beautiful young woman," Rhea mumbled softly.

Lilac blushed, "Thank you." She said, but then she quickly switched the topic as if she didn’t like talking about herself. "Rhea," she finally addressed Rhea by her name, and Rhea automatically glanced up at her with a slight smile.

Lilac continued, "I have a question for you," she said, and when Rhea nodded, she asked, "When Mister kissed you, is it taste good?"

Rhea’s eyes widened, and Lilac thought she was going to chide her for asking such question, but to her surprise, Rhea thought about it as she thoughtfully rubbed her lips, "It’s always nice when we kiss. We have kissed more than once, but I still can’t seem to get enough."

Lilac gasped as a deep color rushed to her cheeks, "You is shameless, you have kissed more than once when you is not married."

Rhea laughed, "Yes, and I think we will never marry. Because Draven doesn’t love me with his heart, he only has desire for me."

Lilac frowned, "What is you mean Mister doesn’t loves you?" She asked in bemusement.

Rhea sighed heavily, with downcast eyes, she replied, "I believe his heart was hurt in the past beyond repair, he will never love any woman again, not even me."

Lilac scoffed, "You is blind and dumb for thinking like that," she said, "Mister loves you. Myself saw it in his heart when i pulled you both into my magic, he cares and loves only you."

Rhea was stunned, "Draven... loves me?" She asked in disbelief. And Lilac nodded her head, "Aye. He loves you, and in his heart he carries only you, but myself think he is just afraid of admitting it to you. And most importantly, he is afraid of marriage."

Rhea felt her heart beat pick up at the revelation that Draven loved her. She had never thought he felt anything more than desire for her, she had believed he would never let himself love again after the warnings he gave her not to love him, but now she realized he did actually love her. Was that why he looked scared everytime he thought she had died?

Draven loved her and feared to lose her. He was afraid of losing her, and he was also afraid of taking their relationship into the next level. He desired her because he loved her...

As those thoughts ran in Rhea’s head, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She quickly slipped on her shoes and ran out of her room without even wearing a robe onto her relieving night dress.

Lilac was baffled by Rhea’s action, she hurriedly chased after her and yelled out, "Where are you running to?"

"I am going to find Draven, I want to hear him say it himself!"

Lilac stopped running after her when she heard those words. She ruefully shook her head, "Love confession, myself isn’t needed with them." She murmured and turned around, but stopped in her tracks when she saw Ethan staring at Rhea’s retreating figure.

Lilac had seen the prince’s heart and knew how he felt for Rhea, and she could tell from his disheartened expression, he was heartbroken. Instead of walking away as she planned to do, Lilac walked towards the prince. She patted his shoulder from behind, "Priedful prince, myself can see you are heartbroken because of Rhea’s love for Mister," she consoled, "but don’t bother, myself will give you any made up memories of Rhea and yourself you wish to see."

Ethan jerked his shoulder away from her hand, "I don’t want your damn magic," he brushed past her and headed towards his palace, "she will never love me, it’s clear she loves someone else."

Lilac wanted to give the prince made up memories because she wanted to eat his satisfaction. Perhaps if she ate his satisfaction she would grow more curvy like other women. With those thoughts, Lilac chased after him.

"At this moment, your heart is in pain, you will not be able to sleep good tonight. Let myself help you."

"I don’t want your help, stop following me."

"Hmm, you is angry at me now because myself wants to help your broken heart." She said, "Myself savior is happy with Mister, you should_"

"Shut that hole on your little face!" He rebuked harshly without turning back, he increased his pace knowing she had little legs that wouldn’t catch up to his long strides. But to his surprise, he could still hear her footsteps right on his heels.

"Prideful prince, if myself shut the hole on my face, will it give you satisfaction?"

"Yes," he said.

"..." Lilac shut her mouth for only a few seconds before she opened them and spoke again, "Is you satisfied now?"

Ethan’s eyes almost rolled into the back of his head in annoyance, "Why are you even following me? Go away."

"Myself can not do so, I want to make you satisfied."

Ethan stopped in his tracks, "You want to feed on my satisfaction, right?" He asked as he turned around to face Lilac, "Then come here so I can beat some sense into you until I am satisfied, you..." He stopped, his dark blue eyes widened as he noticed the changes in Lilac. He stared at her in disbelief and wonderment, "You look different."
