Chapter 7: The Lips

Kathleen Remes' POV

I went out of the room and went to the rooftop of the castle. It has always been the sanctuary for me and I felt calm when I went there. I took a deep breath as it was a nice night and I just looked at the city moonlight that was glistening at the end of the mountain.

"How nice to escape here," I said as I was sipping on my wine. The dress that I wore was thin that I was chilling to the bone as the wind was breezing right now. suddenly, someone was putting a coat on my shoulder and I was startled to know that. I turned around as I saw Chris was smiling at me.

"hey," he said as he took his place next to me at the balcony.

"Hey yourself," I said as I was looking out to the moonlight.

"Why are you here? Come to think about something. Maybe about the wedding?" He said as he nudged me by the shoulder. I smiled as I was chuckling at his clumsiness.

"shut up," I said as I took a sip of my wine. It has gone cold. Chris sighed as he looked at the moonlight.

" I have been engaged for more over than 2 years now but you were the one that getting married first. How unfair," he said as he was leaning on the balcony as his face was looking at the sky.

"I never expected that I will be married in 2 weeks," I said as I was doing the same thing as Chris.

"you know, I never get to tell you who my crush is," he said as he was looking at the sky. I turned to look at him as he was looking at me now.

"who was it? Is it someone that I knew?" I asked as I was interested to know about the person that stole his heart away. Chris just smiled as he went to get off the rooftop.

"You have to dig about that then, beside you good at it," Chris said as he went out through the door and I was left alone again.

After I had been quite some time on the roof top to calm my nerves. I went inside to get my warmth back. I held close to the coat that was given to me. I knew that I can feel Chris' warmth on it before I heard someone was talking about something.

"We cannot be done it now since that little minx has come home. We have to strike when she was not around," a voice said as I was eavesdropping.

"you bet. I think if we strike when she was around, she will make our plan fail like 5 years ago," another voice said.

"agreed. We can never know where she might be lurking around," a voice said before their footsteps faded away. I held to my heart as I was hiding from the door that they might come in. I don't recognize the voices but I knew what they planned on to do. I have to warn the others but I have to make a very careful plan as I don't want the accident of 5 years ago repeated itself. I don't know who to turn to but I know for sure whom I can tell. Kai Virtanen.

Kai Virtanen's POV

After dinner, I went to look for Kathleen but she was nowhere to be found. I don't know where else to go as I don't know about this castle after all. I knew that I was entitled to move around it but I don't want to be impolite to the king and queen of Finland, the land of the mighty.

"Hey, you're Kai right?" A voice interrupted me from my thoughts as I was wondering about Kathleen.

"yes, that would be. And you are?" I asked but I knew who was it.

"I'm Katherine, fiancée of your cousin," she said as she was smiling happily at me. I smiled at her as well but I don't know why my heart doesn't feel anything after she smiled at me. Before I knew Kathleen, I will always be nervous around Katherine but this time, I did not. I wondered what had happened there.

"do you have some time for now or are you busy?" She asked me as she was smiling sweetly at me.

"no, no. I'm not busy. I can't find Kathleen anywhere as I don't know where she went," I said as I was looking around the painting room.

"would you like to go for a walk?" She asked. I thought this was a part of the plan that Kathleen told me so I just nodded at her.

"shall we?" She said as she offered her hand to hold my arm. I just went with it as we went outside the painting room. We were cruising along with the castle as it was chilly outside. I don't know what should I do in this situation so I just kept quiet.

"so, how do you know Kathleen?" Katherine asked me as she was looking at me. I looked at her before speaking my mind.

"honestly, I just met her 2 days ago. I don't know her when we first got engaged as she had been to the prison at that time," I said as I was walking as I followed Katherine around the castle. I have a very bad sense of direction.

"so, what do you think of her?" Katherine asked again as she was looking at me.

"I don't know. I never thought about it," I said but my mind was telling me something else. Something that I never thought about her that way before. 'you're lying, Virtanen. You know what you feel about her,' my mind stated.

"my sister might look like she had a very bad reputation with people and all but she was good, deep down. I can promise you that," she said before she stopped in front of the door and turned to look at me.

"what do you think about me, then?" Katherine suddenly asked. I was startled at the question.

"what do you mean?" I said as I was knotting my eyebrow together.

"she made some changes to her appearance. Don't you notice? She colored her hair like me, because you know, deep down, you in love with me, don't you?" Katherine said as she was looking at me. I chuckled nervously as she was being forward with me that I don't know what to act.

"come on, Kai. I know you want me so why don't we get off this sexual tension around us," she whispered as she was pulling my face closer and closer to her face. I don't know what to do as I was never in this situation before.

"I think you were too close to my fiancé that he was uncomfortable, sister," a voice interrupted us as Katherine looked behind me.

"oh well, he had something in his eyes, sister. Not that I want to kiss him. I have my own man for that," she said as she pushed me to the side. Kathleen came to my side with a coat that I was sure was not mine.

"what's this, sister? Don't tell me you go to my man when your man was with me?" Katherine said sweetly but I knew that she was controlling her anger. Kathleen smirked at her before taking off the coat and gave it to Katherine.

"Not that I want it but Chris was kind enough to lend it to me when I was at the rooftop just now. It was chilly. How thoughtful of him," Kathleen said as she linked her hands to my arms. I loved the feel of her skin on me. Wait, what?

"well, if you excuse us, we have to go now since Kai will be spending the night at my castle tonight," Kathleen said sweetly as she was looking at me with hooded eyes.

"I am?" I asked before she pinched my arm.

"of course, I am. I would love to spend so much together with my fiancée since it has been so long when we were separated," I said as I looked at Kathleen and she was looking at me with a warning in her eyes. 'play along with me,' her eyes said. I was chuckling as we were looking at each other.

"very well, If you excuse me, I have to find Chris. Where is he?" Katherine said as she went past Kathleen and touched her shoulder.

"Mission accomplished," Kathleen whispered as she snaked her arms around me.

"what are you doing?" I asked nervously as I don't know what she will do after this.

"is she looking?" Kathleen asked. I looked at her.

"who?" I asked as I don't know who she referred to.

"my sister. Is she looking?" She asked again as I was looking at her face but I can see that Katherine, her twin, was looking at us.

"yeah," I whispered to her.

"good," she said before pulling me and our lips touched.

It was incredible and amazing. I have touched so many women's lips but it never perfect like hers. Kathleen was moving as she was instructing me to move along with her. I obliged and the feelings exploded. I could always get used to this. After I felt like an eternity, Kathleen decided to break the kiss.

"Is she gone?" She asked but I was dizzy as I can only see her lips.

"who?" I said.

"my sister," she hissed at me.

"don't care, just don't stop," I said before I claimed her mouth again as I pushed her to the walls. She grunted as her back made contact and I just keep kissing her mouth. I asked for entrance for my tongue and she allowed it. I fucked her mouth like no other as I can taste her sweet scent of honey and vanilla.

"Kai," she moaned as I went to kiss her jaw and neck before someone cleared their throat behind us. I looked to my right and saw Kathleen's father, King Aaron was looking at me.

Oh Lord, help us!
