"You…lo-love me, Master?" Layla asked after taking some time as she recovered from the shock. Michael nodded his head gently before he cupped her face in between his palms. Her eyes grew wide at the realization. Overwhelmed by his sudden confession, she couldn't control herself anymore as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Let me take away those tears…" She heard him say and in the next moment, his face seemed to get bigger and bigger until his lips made contact with her eyes. It was a wonderful feeling for her as he kissed her closed eyelids before he licked off the tears.
"Master…" Her frail voice along with her ragged breathing only added to his longing towards her. Michael lifted himself to notice the cute little girl staring at her wide eyes, filled with bewilderment.
