Prince Theron chuckled at her adorable reaction. He touched the tip of his nose with hers. "When you took advantage of my lips, I am sure I didn't cause any inconvenience to you. You were free to do what you wanted. Don't you feel bad for me?"
Esther didn't react to his teasing and continued to keep her eyes and mouth close. Her appearance made Prince Theron think of a silly bunny in front of a hungry wolf, thinking that by closing her eyes the wolf will go away on its own.
He playfully bumped his nose against hers again. "If you insist on causing me inconvenience then we can proceed with the next punishment. The uniforms of the royal servants are tailored to be easy to put on and take off, for the sake of work convenience. Taking off your dress won't be that difficult for me."
As if to prove his point, he teasingly caressed the smooth line of her collarbone with a finger. Startled, Esther immediately opened her eyes and her pressed lips loosened.
