19. A Cryptic Letter (EDITED)

When I wake up in the morning, I realize that my head is pounding. I groan, then touch it in utter annoyance.

I must've drank too much last night.

I turn over, and I almost smash my fist into Sebastian's throat when I find him looking at me, his pale green eyes beautifully bright.

"Good morning...?" I say, and he smiles before stroking my face.

"You were going to punch my throat in." He says, and I sigh before forcing myself to relax.

"I'm not used to sleeping with another person." I mutter, then breathing out.

He hums, and I note without even looking at him that he's still staring at me.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you look in general?" He asks, and I smirk.

"That's smooth." I comment, then smile. "But sweet. Thank you."

His green eyes twinkle, attracting me even more to them.

"It's only my greatest pleasure to tell you these things," he whispers, "like how fast you make my heart beat - just by being yourself."

I can't help it; I roll my eyes at him.

"You're too smooth, pretty boy."

He laughs, throwing his head back.

"I wanted to see how you'd react to that one," he replies, then looks at me again, "I can see it worked to my plan, however, because your heart's beating just a little faster."

I sigh, then look at his hand that is still caressing my face.

"You like teasing me, don't you." I mutter, and he chuckles.

"You're cute, that's why." He states, then rolls off the bed as if he sensed I was gonna throttle him.

"I am not cute! Take that back." I growl, watching him with narrowed eyes.

He chuckles, staring at me with a look that automatically flusters me. I look away quickly, and this makes him laugh.

"Te lo dije. Eres lindo." He mutters, then disappears into his bathroom before I could retort.

(I told you. You're cute.)

I huff in indignation, then get up and make the bed.

By the time Sebastian's done with showering and comes out (wearing nothing but a towel just to seduce me I'm sure), I'm laying on the bed with my eyes closed.

"Wear your clothes, would you." I mutter, and I suddenly feel him next to me.

"You should be getting ready," he says before placing his hand on my face, "and that would be much preferable."

I slowly open my eyes to look straight into his. I can already see what he's talking about by his smoldering gaze that shifts from my eyes to my lips. The same lips that shift into a slow smile.

"You need to earn it first, Your Majesty." I state, then get lean close to his face. "Don't think I'll let you kiss me just like that."

He smiles too, then caresses my face.

"I personally can't wait to have you under me," he whispers, "and punish you immensely."

I start, staring at him in surprise.

Well then. This is a new development.

"You're kidding... right?" I ask, suddenly breathless.

When his smile turns into a smirk, I see something that lets me know that life with Sebastian is going an interesting experience.
