Chapter 14 | Date

Yesterday, he had showed me mermaids. I didn’t even know they existed. They were so inhumanly beautiful and I couldn’t stop staring at them. They were swimming and playing in the river. Jack said that we should not let them see us or they will run away.

It had been pretty fun last night and I remember walking back to the castle at 5am in the morning, laughing like a maniac due to his jokes. My heart swelled at the thought of him staying together with me last night to make me smile again after my embarrasing break down. It was cute and heart-touching.

I had a feeling that I was over the heart-break now. It was the only reason I couldn’t trust anyone and I was glad that I had let it all out last night. If not for him, I was 110% sure that I would be sulking in bed, wondering whether to get up and start the day or just lay there and cry.

Right now, I was in the library with him and being in the library has become a common thing for us now. Chip wanted us to tell him a story and we decided to perform the story for him. There were too many stories to choose from so we decided to just make up the story as we go along.

“You shall not enter my kingdom King Thomas!” I said, twisting my fake mustache as I struggled to stand under the heavy weight of the knight costume.

“I shall! And I will end you King Ludrian!” Jack shouted, pointing his sword at me as he ran after me. I was supposed to fight back but when I lifted my sword. It was so heavy to lift that I lost my balance and fell backward to which Chip laughed.

Why am I so clumsy?

“I have ended you and now your kingdom is mine to ru—”

“Oh. Screw you and your kingdom.” I shouted back and Chip laughed, and Jack tried to control his smile as he looked at me. I was trying to stand up but I couldn’t. I was practically drowning under the heavy weight and I needed help.

“Chip!” Mrs. Potts called and I looked up to see Mrs. Potts calling Chip from the door.

“Yes mommy?”

“You need to sleep.”

“No. I want to play with Jarley.”

“Jarley?” I asked, confused by the name.

“He cars you both.” Mrs. Potts said and Chip rolled his eyes. “Mom! Its not car. Its called Ship!”

Mrs. Potts ignore him and I stifled a laugh as Chip hopped out of the sofa, muttering goodnights to us before Mrs. Potts guided him away. The library was filled with awkward silence and I pursed my lips as my eyes met Jack. He was looking at me with such an emotion that butterflies erupted in my stomach.

“I can’t get up.” I broke the silence and he smiled, holding his hand out for me to reach and I reached his hand, holding onto it tightly as he pulled me up. I dusted myself and tried to carry the sword again but I started tumbling back.

Just as I was about to fall, his hand circled around my waist and pulled me towards his chest. Immediately hear rushed to my cheeks at the intimate position. My heart started beating rapidly and his warm breath was fanning my face. His intense gaze on me was not helping the situation either.

“Let me teach you.” He said, his low and dripping with lust as he stood behind me, never letting go of my waist. Both of his hands reached towards mine and he made me hold the sword tightly in my hand. His chin was touching my right shoulder and his breath was tickling my cold skin to which I shivered and he knew that.

He made me hold the sword tightly and slowly lifted my hand up, I could feel my hand going up and up and so did the temperature in the room as his lips started grazing my neck, teasing me. Without realising, I let a moan slip from my mouth and in a second, I was pushed down onto the sofa and his lips were on mine. His hands roaming my body fiercely and I let him do whatever he wanted.

Desire filled me as I played with the ends of his hair, the sword forgotten as he kissed me deeply, not caring about anything else and making me forget about everything else. I pulled him closer and a low growl escaped his lips. The room was filled with groans and growls as he continued kissing me. Our lips moved so beautifully as if they were meant to be and I felt like I was floating on air.

The way his hands gripped my waist aggressively, the way I pulled on his hair and how every touch by me made him growl. It was all too addicting and I never wanted this moment to end.

He pulled away, realisation dawning on him as he looked at me wide-eyed in fear. His hair was messy from all my roaming and a blush evaded my cheeks.

“I kissed you.” He panted, out of breath.

“Yes. You did.” I smiled goofily as I trailed my finger on his chin, feeling his skin contract under my touch.

“Do you regret it?” I asked.

“No.” He said and once again, his lips slammed my mouth and I loved how fierce and passionate it was. Like he was aching to touch me.

He pulled away again and I whimpered at the loss of his touch. “Do you regret it?” He asked and I thought about it.

“No.” I said and a wide grin replaced his features as he rested his forehead on mine. My insides felt happy at seeing his smile and I was sure there was a goofy smile on my face too.

“Will you go on a date with me Ms. Quinn?” He asked, looking nervous all of a sudden and I smiled at him, feeling elated and kissed his nose.

“Yes, Mr. Napier.”
