Still in Play?

Sebastian

As we sat on the bed, my mind raced. I wasn't thinking about getting her under me. I wasn't contemplating on how we'd do it again. I was searching my brain for words. I was looking for ways to keep her talking, keep her next to me. Azazel laughed at me. "You're in luuuvvv." He teased as my jaw clenched. No. He laughed.

"It's expected, she's marked by me now, so get used to it." He heartily teased me as my brain kept trying to connect back to me. I searched the corners of my mind, as everything we went through this past week flooded my brain. I stiffened up as I remembered she told me I had three questions.

"Are those three questions still in play?" I blurted out. Jesus! I wanted to facepalm myself. Seriously Sebastian? That's what you ask? Don't you remember what happened last time!? I didn't expect an answer, but I felt her pull away from me. I turned to look at her, she met my eyes with hers as she chewed her lower lip. She slowly nodded yes.

Fuck! Azazel laughed as panic slowly started to engulf me. She adjusted herself, sitting all prim and proper next to me. I looked up at the ceiling as I searched for a question.

"Do..." I started saying, then sighed as I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Do you have any... hobbies?" I strained to say. Hobbies? The fuck! I glanced at her as she looked at me confused. She looked away as she stared at the wall.

"Does killing count as a hobby?" She furled her lip as she shrugged, looking at me. I stared blankly as I processed her words. I snorted and busted out laughing. She giggled as I pushed into her.

"No... I don't have time for hobbies. I supposed if I could..." She tapped her finger on her chin. "I'd choose to..." She paused, glancing downwards. "Dance..." she mumbled out as she fidgeted with her shirt's edge.

"Oh, interesting... why?" I grinned at her as I flopped backwards onto the bed.

"Most of my maneuvers are like dancing. I get lost in the movements, the twirling and the spinning is comforting to me." She turned, lying down on her stomach, her head by mine. She smiled at me as she rested her head on her forearms. "What about you? Prince Sebastian."

I turned slightly, as I narrowed my eyes onto her. Prince Sebastian... the way she said it stirred feelings deep within me. I took a deep breath as I turned back towards the ceiling.

"Honestly? I do like a good book. Hunting is fun as well, but other than that, nothing else really sticks out." I folded my arms under my head.

"Awe, I expected you to say 'Chasing the ladies'", she giggled as she rolled over. I sat up, my brows pulled into a frown.

"That's what you think of me?" I glared at her, somewhat offended, but honestly, what did I expect? She slowly sat up; her face hidden from me.

"I'm sorry, I was joking." Her voice was low as I could feel the shift in the mood. I sighed.

"What did I say earlier little lamb?" I pulled her into my embrace. "Never apologize." I felt her grip onto my shirt tightly.

"Why do you keep calling me that? I'm nothing but little and I have no resemblance to a lamb whatsoever." She muffled out as her mouth was pressed against my chest. I wrapped my arms and legs around her, locking her in my embrace as I pulled us down onto the bed.

"You fit in my arms like a little lamb." I squeezed her as I felt her laugh. "You're sweet like a little lamb." I nuzzled my chin into the top of her head. "You're spunky like a little lamb." I ran my hands up her back as she sucked in a breath. "And most importantly..." I shifted as she looked up at me. "You're soft like a little lamb." I reached up, rubbing her ear with my fingers, she closed her eyes as she moaned, pushing into my touch.

"Do you feel... safe with me?" I found myself asking as I traced her face with my eyes. She fluttered her eyelashes at me as I cupped her face with my hand. My heart frantically beat in my chest. I don't know why I chose that question. Maybe it's because everyone is so terrified of me. Azazel mumbled; he was curious what her answer was.

"I..." She started, as she sucked her lip, pondering what she was going to say next. "I feel like I can count on you." She slowly said. "Feeling safe... is something that doesn't come easy for me Sebastian, but when I'm around you..." She paused as she wiggled her way close to me. "I feel comforted. I feel like I can rely on you, more than anyone I've met. So... I'm assuming yes, I do." She snuggled into my chest.

I squeezed her tightly. Intertwining my fingers her hair.

"You saved me last night Sebastian... in more ways than I can explain to you." She whispered. I heard her voice crack as she gripped my shirt tightly.

"We have all the time in the world, my little lamb," I whispered to her as she tilted her head up, kissing my chin. I felt my heart leap into my throat as she planted a smaller one closer to my lips. She slowly moved upwards, placing her lips on mine. I slightly parted my mouth as she brushed her tongue along my bottom lip.

I gently pushed apart hers, as we slowly ran our tongues around each other. Her hands traveled up to the back of my hair as she twisted her fingers in my locks. She was being so gentle, so caring as her kiss engulfed me with a warm feeling. It wasn't one of lust, it felt better. It felt so tender, so... loving. Like she was telling me how she felt with her mouth. We stayed, interlocked in each other's mouths for a while, our bodies pressed against each other, sections of our exposed skin brushing on each other, sending incredible electric sensations throughout my body.

I found my hands entangled in her hair as she wrapped her leg around my hip. I sucked her lip gently as she ran her hands up and down my back. I made my way down to her neck, placing soft gentle kisses on her, her body erupted in goosebumps as she gasped. I hovered my mouth over her collar bone, letting my breath caress her.

"We... need to rest, Sebastian..." She whispered out as I moved back up to her lips. I kissed her, holding her mouth with mine for a while before I released her.

"I'm saving my last question... but I do want to ask another, may I still keep that last question if I ask another?" I stroked her cheek with the back of my fingers. She smiled, nodding.

"Will you go out to dinner with me tonight?" I grinned at her. Her expression looked shocked. She wasn't expecting that question from me.

"I... want to say yes... but..." She glanced to the left. "I don't have anything to wear." She whispered out.

"Well, guess we better go grab you that pink dress you were eyeing." I pulled her into me, smiling as she giggled.

"Mmmm... don't ever not laugh, little lamb. You sound so melodic." I hummed as her laughter vibrated through my ear drums, bringing a smile to my face that I never wanted to leave.

"As long as you keep smiling like that..." She brushed her thumb across my lip as she beamed at me. I took in a deep breath as I nodded.

A maid knocked at my door; she was holding fresh sheets as I held Lilith's hand in mine. I guided her out of my room as the maid pushed by us. We headed down the staircase, heading to get a carriage to head into town. It was 4 pm, we would be cutting it close to get a dress and dinner, but I didn't mind. Any excuse to spend time with my Lilith.

We walked outside, standing as we waited for Victor to bring up a carriage. She leaned into me as she gazed ahead. I clasped her hand tightly as the carriage rounded the corner.
