Ensnaring His Dark Moon - Chapter 133
”Did you go s0omewhere?” Aleister tilted his head and glanced at Esme who entered the room.
It has been some time since she left the courtroom but she did not come back to the room. He was about to look for her.
He scanned her from head to toe and his expressions looked better when he was certain that she is fine.
”What are you doing?” Esme glanced at the man who was staring at her intently.
”I was making sure that you are fine. What else?”
She walked towards him, her footsteps staggering a bit, ”Why do you care if I am fine or not?”
”Hmm?” Aleister raised an eyebrow. She was being grumpy again. Did someone offend her…? ”My dear moon….”
”Don’t call me that,” she pressed her palm on his mouth, ”Don’t go around seducing me all the time when you have no intentions to take responsibility for your actions.”
He grabbed her wrist but she shook off his hand before getting her hand out of his grip.
Esme leaned closer to him till their faces were inches apart, ”You keep confusing me all the time,” she whispered, her warm breath tickling his lips.
”Is it the wine speaking for you?” She took a few sips earlier. But she looked fine when she left the courtroom. Did she drink somewhere else after leaving the place? Why was she so tipsy?
She startled him by putting her palms on his chest.
”Wine? Why would it speak for me? Is my mouth not enough?” she licked her bottom lipa with the tip of her tongue, her eyes squinting seductively.
”Can you speak from a distance?” His throat ran dry at the position they were in.
”Distance?” Esme lowered her head. She held her gown and raised it slightly before removing her shoes.
He glanced at her in confusion.
She kicked her shoes aside, ”What distance are you talking about? Why do you not mention it when you keep kissing me?” she pushed him to the bed with both her palms on his chest before climbing atop him.
Her hair fell near his shoulder, forming a curtain to the left side of his face, ”Distance you say. Why don’t you remind yourself of it when you do this….” she pecked his lips and nibbled on his bottom lips before looking into his eyes.
”Hah~ You sure are drunk. How about you take responsibility for your actions?” He grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her closer.
”Yes, I will,” Esme smiled at him.
She was the drunk one but he felt intoxicated.
”Ssss…” Aleister inhaled a deep breath because the moment their lips met, Esme bit his bottom lips ruthlessly, leaving her teeth imprints there.
”Hmph! Who do you think you are?” She poked the tip of his nose with her index finger, ”You, Aleister Daven, are a fickle-minded narcissistic Prince whom I hate with all my heart.”
”Why are you lying atop me if you hate me that much?” He wrapped his arms around her waist, looking at her with a doting expression on his face.
”To have a proper discussion,” she mumbled.
”So, what do you want to discuss?” he tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear before bringing her hair to one side.
”I told you to not seduce me, didn’t I?” She glared at him, ”I never understand you. I can never… understand you. When we first met here in the castle, you called me ugly, looking so uninterested in me.”
”You sure hold grudges,” the corner of his lips twitched.
”Of course, I do,” she buried her face in the crook of his neck, ”Then you treated me like I was the most beautiful woman you ever laid your eyes on.”
”You are… sss… are you a puppy?” he faked a wince when she bit his neck.
”No seducing… So, then at times, you treat me like you are interested in me but there are times when your narcissism gets the best of you, saying things like I am trying to get closer to you and I can’t take my eyes off you which is true though. But still, you should not expose it on my face no? Hmph!… There are times when I see you around me all day where you tell me that other women make you uncomfortable. But then, I find you talking to that Culiana. What about me? Did you think it will not bother me even if you go around discussing work with her…?
”Luciana,” he corrected her, “…Not Culiana.”
She raised her head from his neck and rolled to the side, getting off his body. She glared at him, ”Is that the only thing you heard? Is her name so pleasant that you can’t get it off your mind?”
”Hmm… sounds like a nice name.”
She looked at him in disbelief, ”You are a jerk!”
”Why? Are you jealous?”
”Can’t you see that?” She looked at him with limpid eyes, ”It bothers me so much when I imagine you with someone else. It must be because of your indecent actions towards me that I have started letting my mind run wild…mmmph…”
He sealed her lips with his, interrupting the rest of her words. His lips moved gently at first but as soon as she wrapped her arms around his neck, his body towered over her, taking her bottom lips between his teeth. He licked and bit her lips alternatively before sucking on the spot he bit.
He pulled back from her and glanced at her red wet lips before looking into her eyes, ”Did I not tell you that you are my favorite person?”
”No…” she seemed quite like an obedient bunny as she shook her head.
”Then I’m letting you know that today.. When I say you are my favorite person, you should know that I mean it,” he stroked her hair, ”Stop comparing yourself to people who don’t exist in our lives.”
