Chapter 8 - The Kiss
I noticed how kind Dix looked when he talked to children.
He was gentle, just like how he was to me. But there lacked that tenderness that he looked at me with.
Dix Aveguard
Are you okay, Rose?
He made me turn towards him and I immediately blushed when I realised how close he was to me.
Child A
Eww! Are they going to kiss?
Child B
The fairy and the man are going to kiss!
Rose Riverback
W-What nonsense!
Dix Aveguard
Okay, you lot. Stop bothering the fairy. She might put a curse on you!
All of the children screamed when they got up and ran away.
Dix Aveguard
Was it something I said?
It was now my turn to laugh.
Rose Riverback
You do realise how guillable children are, right?
Dix Aveguard
They were embarrassing you... I had to do something...
Dix Aveguard
*in a low voice* Only am I allowed to tease you.
Rose Riverback
What was that?
Dix Aveguard
Nothing. Do you want to dance with me?
Dix Aveguard
Not the waltz or any sort of ballroom... but just two people, moving to the rhythm of a sound.
I wanted to dance with him... I wanted nothing more and that scared me.
I put out my hand as he pulled me up. He slowly lead me behind the bushes and trees and we slowly started to dance.
His hand was around my waist while one of mine was around the back of his neck.
Our other hand was left at our side as we danced, closely... almost intimately.
The warmth of his fingertips made me blush like a tomato. The embers of the fire made his face shine, especially his beautiful eyes.
It took a small moment for us to slow down, our eyes diving into the others.
Unconsciously, we both came to a halt, looking right into the other's eyes.
Our hands were occupied but our lips weren't.
He slowly leaned towards me, making me feel his warm breath against my lips.
Then, we connected. Our lips made us one and inside, nothing felt more right than being in his arms.
My mother always talked about love being such a sudden thing. Uncontrollable.
I can't be with Dix... I've got to marry the Prince of Trixx to save my kingdom.
Yet why... why can't I leave his arms?
It was a sweet, pure kiss. No malice or other intent could be detected. But the intoxicating warmth that it supplied was unimaginable.
Rosy... that was the nickname my father used...
He slowly took my hand, pulling me towards the inn, my legs feeling weak from that kiss.
Rose Riverback
Dix... where are you taking me...
He brought me to our room, which he allowed me to enter before locking the door.
I took off my wig and turned around to face him.
Rose Riverback
A-About what just happened...
Dix Aveguard
I won't forget about it.
He stole a kiss from my lips, a hungry and arousing kiss.
My legs lost strength, making me lost fall onto the ground. However, his strong arms kept me stable as the kiss continued on for what felt like an eternity.
Dix Aveguard
I want to make you mine, but not fully just yet.
Rose Riverback
W-What do you mean...
