The sun rose over the horizon painting the island in yellow and orange hues. The light hit Seto’s face, rousing him from his slumber, causing a frown to form on his face. His eyes slowly opened as he took in his surrounding, finding himself in the same position he was in when he dozed off last night, Lillian still snuggled into his chest. His annoyance with being woken up slowly faded as he gazed at her sleeping face, she seemed so calm and at ease. He wanted to stay like this a little while longer but knew they needed to get moving if they were going to reach the castle before midday.

He pressed his lips to her forehead, speaking in a shallow voice, “It’s time to get up.” Lillian mumbled softly, scrunching up her face, turning her head as she nuzzles the other teen’s chest. He couldn’t help but smile as he found action adorable. He shook his head and tried to wake her up again, “We need to get going.” She frowned as she slowly opened her eyes, feeling a little groggy as she looked up to find the face of the man she loved looking back at her, the memories of last night flow back into her mind, “So last night wasn’t a dream…” Her comment pulled a chuckle from the CEO as he pressed a kiss to her cheek, “I don’t know if I should feel insulted or honoured.”

Lillian rolled her eyes as she moved to straddle his lap, her hands resting on his shoulders, “Oh believe me Mr. Kaiba, you should be honoured…it’s not every day you get to take someone’s virginity out in the woods.” She teased as she pressed a sweet kiss to his lips. The CEO couldn’t help but smirk as he moved his hands down her back, his fingers tracing the bumps of her spine, “Yes out in the woods where anyone can come across us…even your little brother.” She quickly pulled back as a dark blush covered her cheeks, “Well I…you…” She stumbled over her words causing Seto to laugh. Lillian glared at him before playfully hit him, “You really can be an asshole some times.” She tried to stand up but the brunet held her in place, “And yet you love me still.”

Her expression softened as she looked into his eyes, resting her hand on his cheek, “What’s not to love? You’re eccentric, dramatic, protective and loyal…with a kind heart that I wished you showed more often…I thank the stars every day for bringing you into my life…even if you are a dick on your best day.” he turned his head to place a gentle kiss to her palm before grinning, “I may be a dick as you so plainly put it but you seemed to enjoy mine quite a bit last night.” She frowned as she tried to stand up, “You’re unbelievable.” He grabbed her arm and pulled her back down into his embrace, caressing her cheek, “I am aware of that.” The billionaire smirked as he gave his girl another kiss, this one filled with the passion and admiration he had for her. She could help but melt, wrapping her arms around him once again.

They eventually got up and got dressed, fixing their hair and clothes as best they could, Lillian tying her long black locks in a braid. Seto watched her the entire time, taking note of the marks she had on her skin. He didn’t think she was the tattoo type…let alone the type to get full sleeves on both arms. He had wanted to ask about them but figured she would tell him about them later. She could feel his eyes on her as she looked back at him, “You’re staring.” She said as she put her boots on, “You can ask about them if you want.” He strolled over and took her hand, using his fingers to run over the images inked on her arm, moving up slowly till they reached the bandage that covered her upper arm, “What happened?”
