Ethereal Inferno

Chapter 14: Eye Fuck

When his face was close enough, he stopped. He wasn't going kiss me. Thank God. "So princess, if I challenge you to fight me, would you accept it?" He asked me with much intensity in his eyes. The tension was there. The air thick.

I smirked a bit then replied, "The real question is, are you worthy of challenging me?" He smiled. "Alright then. The loser will do whatever the winner says for a day." He said, not breaking our eye contact. His gaze went down to my lips, then to my eyes which made my face h o t. "What is this? A child's dare?" I joked.

"Aren't you one?" He replied. "Hm. Alright then. Let's do this." After that "talk" we agreed on hand-to-hand combat. Quickly putting on our protective gear, we stepped in the ring.

We did our stance and I was the first to throw a punch but he dodged it. Damnit. He then threw a straight punch with his right hand but I leaned to the left but the very next second, a quick punch came flying from his left fist. I managed to bend down on my back which made him miss again.

Throwing another punch, I quickly ducked and dodged it. This man was fast. It's good that I have excellent reflexes. So many things happened but it had been only five seconds.

I took multiple steps back, "Seriously Liam, that's all you've got? Be rough, fiance." I said but then the realization hit. He smiled. "Are you certain you want it rough, princess?" My smile instantly went away realizing what I said but right now, I couldn't care less.

"Yes dear. Yes. Im not even joking."   "As you wish princess." He smirked.  I landed a punch on his stomach three times then proceeded to kick him there. I didn't do it really hard as I might harm him.

Those blows caused him to stumble backwards but he quickly regained his balance then came at me which made me quickly walk backwards as he went to the ground and streched out his right leg going 180°, attempting to swipe my ankle but failed to do as as I jumped.

He swiftly got up and then there, he managed to land a kick in the side of my face which made me go down. Damn that hurt. I started bleeding a bit and as soon as Liam saw this, his face went into panic mode.

"Erica! Oh my gosh. Did I kick you that hard? How hurt are you? Shit shit shit shit shit. Is there a first Aid kit here? Shit I'm really sorry princess." He went on rambling. But I appreciate it though. He cares and is a good fiance but poor guy doesn't know what's coming for him next.

He was on top of me on my side and bending a little while holding my hand. In those six seconds, I was refilling my energy and soon after, I grabbed his hand and the back of his head. He looked confused.

In a swift motion, I swapped our positions so now he was under me and I was above him leaving Liam in a completely baffled state.

I got so lost in this fight that I forget that I'm actually on TOP of prince Liam Periffe. Crap. The realization is hitting.. I've been with THE Liam Periffe and he even kissed the back of my hand... Oh my gosh.

I felt like my body was melting above his and the same feeling which is accompied by fast heartbeats came back. My cheeks were heating and I was sure it was visible.

This felt like a scene from a movie because of the way he was staring into my soul with those hunter eyes... His iris was so dark, almost like it was black. I scanned his entire face and soon, my eyes went to his lips. Why are they so kissable in this moment.?

Liam Periffe:
Erica was on top of me right now. A classic enemies to lovers move. I felt like I was completely under her spell. She's.....so beautiful.

And I hope I don't sound insane but she's currently eye doing something to me with her siren eyes. Her gaze went from my eyes to my lips. If I was hers, she would have swollen lips by now.

What made this moment was so perfect was that the sun's angle was in such a way that made her blue icy-eyes radiate light and her skin glowed almost like it was illuminating soft warm light itself. How can a human appear so divine?

Erica Yuvina:
This was all too much. I snap out of my trance because if we stay in this position for too long...

"10 seconds. You lose Liam." I say with a smirk. "What?! That's not fair! You literally.. "   "Literally what?"   "You cheated."   "How so?" He didn't look so mean anymore. He looked cute.

"You acted like you were hurt and-" I cut off his words, "I was and am hurt. What do you mean?"   "Well you pretended to look like you need to go to the hospital."  "Mhm... Right. Or maybe you were overreacting. It's just a small cut below my cheeks Liam. Like they say, rule number one of fighting, do not get distracted."

He scoffed. "Forget about that. How bad does it hurt?" I was taken aback by that question. I noticed that I was still above him so I quickly stood up.

He actually cares for me.. Or I am just delusional. The way I would let this man do things to me on our wedding nigh- HELL NO. Oh   my   gosh. Uhh... I'm scared of myself..

"Oh it's fine. This is the least pain in my pain scale you know." I shrugged. "Are you sure?" He asked, standing up. "Yes I am. And I don't really want to apply any medicine or ointments."   "Okay then. As you wish, princess."

We were both sweating like so much right now and I think I stink. Even though I took a shower this morning. I guess I have to take a long bath.

"Anywho Liam, get dressed at 10 because we'll be going out today. Wear something not too formal. I'll be introducing you to my friends." I said, grinning. He has to do whatever I ask now.

"As you wish, princess."

Ps: Exam's next week and I haven't touched my books💗.
