"Don't worry Mina. I don't bite," I sighed. "Much."

Oh lord

Mina's Point Of View

I eventually got to the bed and took the tube from his hand.

"Burn free by John Peirs," I read out loud. "Is he a relative?"

"No my older brother." He answered. "He's a scientist. This is just one of the many things he's invented."

"Oh." I removed the cap and squeezed a good amount in my hand. It was blue in color and felt so cold.

Slowly I reached down and rubbed it over his ab. A moan came from his lips and his eyes closed. The muscle hardened beneath my hand. My eyes trailed downwards and dear Mary I shouldn't have. His jeans were riding his hip.

A 'V' was present under his abs and dark curly hair was peaking out. I wanted to touch them. They looked so soft and the came up to his navel. I continued to rub my hand in a circular motion while my eyes behaved badly.

His face was contorted in pure content. Absentmindedly my hand drifted and they rested on the soft hairs that came from beneath his jeans.

It was all so fascinating. There was a noticeable bulge pushing against his Jeans. As expected the hair on below his navel was soft to the touch. My hands lower until they rested at the waistline of his pants.

Slowly my hand lowered to the waistband of his jeans ready to go beneath when his hand grabbed to mine with the speed of a predator. "I wouldn't do that kitten," I looked at his face to see his eyes almost darken and hooded. "Your not ready for that and I can't stomach a cold shower right now." He took my hand in his and he sat up.

My face was burning. I was going to touch his I mean I-

"I want to ask you something little light." He caressed my fingers but I couldn't meet his gaze not after what I almost did. "I want you to be my date at the party in three weeks." The room was silent.

I already knew the answer I was going to give him. It would have to be a no. If the Princess saw me or her mother when she came back and told her about her Mark fascination I'd be dead. Plus- there was just so many things that could go wrong.

"I'm sorry but I cannot accompany you." I tried snatching my hand from his but it was no use.

"Why?"

"I can't tell you. It would cause me to get into trouble."

"So I guessing this has something to do with the Princess?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Well, no-yes I mean." I stopped talking.

"Just speak the truth."

I sighed."Whether you know this yes or no Mark the Princess has laid claim to you and as her subject, I cannot be seen with you or I will be punished." I bit down on my lips.

"There are more than one ways I can be seen with you but not seen with you Mina. In the two days I've been here you've captivated me in more ways than one and it's in my blood to hunt you. I'm aware you aren't an object that I can just claim but I can't help it," He brought my wrist to his lip and kissed it. "I don't care what the princess says I'm still gonna chase you. She has no claim on me. Don't worry about the night of the party I'll meet you before and trust me no one will know that it is you."
