Astrid The Hybrid Princess - Chapter 315 Glad You're Okay!

CHAPTER 315

“Anything, I repeat, anything and everything can happen just from a small spark,” White-Fire cautioned her.

“I will,” Astrid replied with a small smile gracing her face.

She knew this was a serious something and if she did not want what happened before to repeat itself again, she needed to be careful.

“No, it is not enough for you to say you will. From now onwards, as long as you are in this place, you must put a check or subject your emotions under lock and key and be careful as anything you feel now can escalate into something else.”

“Noted, White-Fire. Thank you.”

Recalling what had happened, she winced once more when she remembered how she burnt Jareth.

“Astrid, I just warned you. Do not think about such a thing, at least not now, please. You would only end up sad and make him worry. And trust me, you and I know that a worried elf ain’t what you need now.”

“It hurts watching myself hurt him and knowing full well that he is still in pain and hiding it from me.”

“He is a male, Astrid. It is their duty to protect the female specie. It would hurt his pride if he cannot protect the woman he loves or cries in front of you. Leave him be, Jareth would come around soon. Besides, with the way it is going, it wouldn’t be long before he confesses his feelings.”

“You do not know so.”

“Look at you. Sigh, young lovers!”

She watched as Astrid looked away shyly and could not help but let the peal of laughter that escaped her throat, come out.

“Anyways, it is time for me to go. White-Wing would soon be searching for me.”

“Oh, thanks a bunch. My regards to everyone. I miss them. When this is all done, I am going to come and visit.”

“Hahhaa, focus on your journey first, young one. We would wait for that day. Take care, Astrid and remember, keep your emotions in check.”

“I will. Bye.”

Jareth who was watching her and imagining different things in his mind at any movement of her eyes and body was not expecting that the next time her eyes moved in their socket while close, would be when she opens them.

A pair of eyes blinked and stared at him from afar. His heart skipped a bit, seeing that she was alright and okay.

What he would give to hold her in his arms right now.

As if hearing his inner thoughts, Astrid lifted her hand and the barrier totally disappeared. Jareth was still staring at her with disbelieving eyes.

She looked normal as though none of what she just went through actually happened to her. His heart began to beat again, jumping with enthusiasm in his chest.

Looking back at him, Astrid began to feel her heart well up with joy. She could not hold the anticipation again and stood up.

Both of them met themselves midway and hugged each other, with Jareth holding her close to himself and rubbing her head soothingly to pet her.

“I am glad you are okay.” He voiced out his feelings to her without any restraint.

He did not care about his resolve a few minutes ago and only cared that she was safe within his arms.

The next thing she knew, he pulled her back from his embrace and his once relieved looked turned into a stern one.

As soon as he was about to scold her, he heard a voice he never thought he had missed or would miss invading his mind.

“Do not even think of what you are planning on doing Jareth. Her emotions are wavy right now.” White-Fire warned him, further making him irk at Astrid who by now had her head down.

She had been expecting his scolding and lowered her head in advance.

“Fine! I would not do such things. I understand.”

White-Fire nodded in his mind and disappeared right after.

“I am happy you are fine, Astrid.” Jareth voiced out his inner thoughts. The very ones that allowed him to be free and do whatever he wanted to do with her.

Astrid smiled back at him, then moved her hands lower to his waist and lightly gripped the hem of his shirt.

Jareth’s breathing stopped as he was taken by surprise by her next action. He did not know what she was going to do. Was she planning on undressing him with Snow being there or…

No, this wasn’t right.

‘Does she wants us to do it now and here of all places with Snow watching?’ Jareth could not help the wild thoughts that ran through his mind.

He needed to stop her quickly before things escalated further. His both hands slid off of her shoulder and came to rest on top of her hands that were gripping his shirt.

He looked back into her eyes, hoping to communicate with her to stop what she was doing but Astrid completely ignored him and before he could say anything, his shirt was raised up his chest, revealing his bare torso as she pulled it up.

By the time she got to his head, she had to stand of her toes and helped him out of his top, completely freeing his chiselled muscular chest to her naked eyes.

He sucked in a deep breath trying to control his feelings and the feel of watching as her eyes roamed over his body.

The last thing he wanted right there and then, was getting hard just from the kind of way she innocently looked at him.

After what seemed to be forever, Astrid stepped around him and attacked his back with her bare hands.

As soon as her fingers made contact with his skin, Jareth felt tiny ripples of electric shock cascade over his whole body and he trembled from pain and slight pleasure.
