Jason waited at the spot where Sashina would walk to the garden. He remembered It from the novel as he had read from It. He has been waiting since the evening to meet the girl of his dreams but she was no where to be seen.
As long as she didn't meet with the crown prince it was fine if she didn't come. Her not coming also gave his mind time to think of the lady that he had ran into on his way to the prince's room.
He subconsciously licked his lips recalling the burning sensation he felt when his lips landed on hers. She was heaven, he was sure the author added her in the book to distract him from breaking apart the female and male lead of the story.
He had to admit that it was a brilliant plan. She was dead gorgeous, seductive with her words and actions, and what more she was a flirt. She uttered every single word from her mouth with the intent to lure and trap. Her influence on her prey was on point leaving nothing to chance.
Even he was not spared from her charms. He felt drawn to her and never wanted to leave. It was the excitement of meeting Sashima that gave him the strength to walk away from her and her honey-coated tongue.
"Her beauty is the one that the authors say can destroy kingdoms," he whispered to himself.
He continued to daydream and missed the prince and Sashina walking past in the distance. His thoughts were occupied with only one thought, he too had not realised that he was deterring from the his original plan by letting himself the distraction.
He craved to hear the sweet voice once more, to have his hand on her soft skin and his lips on her glossed lips. It would be a dream come true.
"Master Darkvale."
The butler's icy voice brought him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the old man with questions in his eyes.
"The party is about to start. Shall we?" the butler ushered and led him inside.
He was disappointed that he had not gotten to see Sashina but there was plenty more chances for that. From the book, she would show up at the party in a green mermaid dress. So he just had to look for the person wearing the green mermaid dress.
He walked into the hall where the party was being held and drew his breath. He just realized that he had not thought this through at all. He was at a fancy party filled with nobles and elites where as he was no more than a nobody who transmigrated into a novel.
He wasn't sure how to act or what he should or shouldn't do in such a place. He could tell that he was going to be one of those characters who would blend into the shadows and have people forget they even attended the functions in the first place.
"Is there a problem my prince?" the butler asked him politely. He shook his head in response. "Your seat is at the high table with the king and his family," the butler added.
Jason gulped. His plan to go and blend with the shadows went off the table. To make matters worse, he was to sit at a place where all the attention will be on him. He swallowed.
He took slow steps and walked past the crowd. Women and men dressed in their best stood around the room in small groups making small talk and laughing. He nervously walked past all of them and went on to sit at the table.
He greeted the king and queen after and turned his attention to the people in the hall. His guts twisted and turned in his stomach making him so uncomfortable. Looking around the room he noticed that the seat next to the king to his right was empty.
"The prince is still as lazy as ever," he whispered to himself.
His eyes looked around the room in search of Sashina. His eyes landed on a green dress leaving the room through the exit door. He excused himself and hurried out of the room to catch up with the owner of the dress.
"Food will be served soon don't be long," the butler let out to him as he exited the room.
He ran out of the room and followed the fleeting green robe that was taking a turn down the corridor. He ran as fast as his feet could carry him and the moment he got close to her, he wrapped his hand on her waist and pulled her over to him.
"Sashina," he called out. Her body landing on his chest perfectly, it was as though she was born to be held in his arms.
The girl lifted his head and gazed into his eyes. He froze when he saw the same seductive eyes, beautiful glossed lips curled up into an alluring smile. Tempting him to lean in and kiss her, to bite on her lips leaving a mark as an indication to everyone that she was his.
"Still about your obsession with this Sashina I see," the girl said in a teasing tone. "After what you did earlier, one would think a whole prince like you would mind my my honor and not hold so tightly in your embrace in public," she said and bit her lower lip in provocation.
"You.." he said disappointed but didn't loosen his grip on her. He pulled her even closer to their chests touch. "For a seductress, your chest is kind of small," he added.
"Are you saying you prefer your women plumpy and full?" she asked her breath hitting his skin giving him goosebumps. "What's wrong? You are breathless," she added with a knowing smirk on his face.
Jason shook his head to clear his mind. When he got his senses back she blew hot air to his skin causing him to shiver and release a soft moan at how good he felt.
"I prefer my company a little out of it," she whispered in his ear before hitting Jason's earlobe gently.
Jason felt the last bit of self-control leave him. He was completely at her mercy. And he didn't seem to want it any other way either.
