Underneath all the beauty

The prince walked out with Landon in his arms. Lando expected everyone to watch them with questioning eyes as before but no one even paid attention to them. The prince took slow strides getting closer to their ride. He opened the door and placed Landon inside and left.

Landon waited for a few minutes for the prince to return and give him further instruction but none came. His lips quivered as his stretched out his hands and looked at his hands. The marks from the force the prince applied while he helped him put on his bangles.

He was a strong man since he was young but he felt weak in his presence. The way that he was treating him and the hatred in his eyes was getting under his skin. He couldn't help but be a little afraid of him. He was also confused about the prince, he was nice in one second and becomes a cold heartless beast the next.

"I thought that holding on to you would keep me safe but I think that I am in more danger with you," he mumbled out.

"That true," the prince replied appearing seated right in front of him.

Landon moved back in fear, his shoulders slightly trembling. He was unaware that the prince was seating in there with him.

"W..when did you get here?" he asked flinching in fear.

The prince looked at him for a minute and turned his head to the side. He gazed at the passing trees outside and ignored him and didn't answer the question he raised. And Landon too was not in the mood to ask him again. He didn't even dare to talk to him again.

He sat there patiently and tried not to make any sound to attract his attention in any way. The beast in this world was dangerous and that was a fact that he couldn't change. He was not safe anywhere and with anyone but at least he only had one beast to worry about at the moment.

He stole glances at the prince, he had his eyes closed now and in his sleeping state, he looked graceful. He looked angelic with his beauty and his peaceful state but he for one was a witness of what a beast he was underneath all that beauty.

He remembered the kiss that they shared under the trees and brushed his lips. He glanced at the prince's lips his memories becoming more clear. "If only," he whispered unaware that the prince had a super hearing and could hear everything from a needle falling to the ground to the smallest whisper.

Landon gazed out the window to see where they were going but he wasn't able to see anything. The thing that they were traveling on was going so fast that he couldn't make sense of anything he saw. He decided against looking outside and went about staring at the sleeping prince.

"Is there something the little wolf needs?" the prince asked slowly opening his eyes. His eyes had no malice or anger like before but it still terrified Landon. He looked away from the prince and stared at the floor not daring to meet the prince's gaze.

The prince saw him like this and smirked, he loved the fear that he was seeing in his eyes. But he did wonder why the little wolf was afraid of him when he was yet to do anything to him. All he had done till now was simply child's play. He would become a mockery of the palace if anyone found out that Landon considered all that he has done so far as torture.

The prince got up from his seat and moved to sit next to Landon. That made him freeze in his seat, his whole body was oozing with fear. He held his breath and glanced out the window away from the prince but the prince was not going to allow that.

"Look at me," he said but Landon refrained from obeying him. "I said look at me," he said again and again Landon refused him.

"LOOK AT ME," he groaned in a deep husky voice that commanded obedience from the other male. Landon flinched when he heard him and automatically looked up at the prince.

"Why are you trying to provoke me little wolf?" he asked caressing Landon's bare leg. Landon's breath hitched and he tried to remove the prince's hand from him but it was futile. The prince on seeing his boldness decided to tease him. He took the opportunity and moved his hand up Landon's thigh.

Landon turned to him in shock, he was scared that if the prince's hand went further up his thigh then he would be exposed, and then the prince was sure to kill him.

He moved back in his seat to get away from him but the prince moved forward covering the distance that he created. "Why are you running away from me little wolf, is there something wrong?" he asked knowing quite well the reason why the male was moving away from him but he didn't voice it out.

"N..no it's nothing," Landon replied feeling cornered by the prince.

"Lady Lara, feel free to tell me whatever is bothering you," he said with a smirk adorning his face.

With his back to the wall and the prince still brushing and touching his leg he couldn't move. His body was also beginning to react to the prince's touch. He prayed in his heart that the prince would not notice the bulge in his dress. The prince removed his eyes from his face and was directing them to his legs and Landon panicked.

He took the prince's face into his hands and kissed him to keep him from facing down and noticing his bulge. It was a short kiss just to distract him and keep him from being discovered. He broke the kiss after changing his sitting position and released a sigh of relief when he escaped successfully.

A shiver ran down his spine and he looked up from the floor. He met the prince's reddened eyes full of anger that screamed of danger. He swallowed the lump in his throat and realized the mistake that he had just done.

'Someone save me,' he screamed internally fearful of what the prince would do to him for the kiss.
