Holding the seductress in his hand he was breathless when he saw her face. She looked beautiful and alluring up close with water dripping from her hair. He swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Let go of me before I kill you," the prince threatened in his ice-cold voice. Jason came out of his thoughts when he heard the horse male voice that was the opposite of what he expected.
He blinked his eyes trying to see clearly. His eyes weren't deceiving him, it was certainly the seductress before him but why did she sound like the crown prince of Aphidia, she thought.
"You are a man?" he said shocked by his own words. It was the biggest surprise of his life. The seductress that had mesmerized him so much turned out to be the scary crown prince.
"Took you long enough to figure it out but it isn't your fault. I like wearing silky robes, they are just so comfortable," she said to him.
"I Uhm..."
Jason's brain froze when he realized that he had kissed a man, not once but twice.
"I kiss..kissed you," he uttered feeling short of breath.
"Not moments am proud of but such is life," the prince replied with a cool attitude like he wasn't affected by the fact that they were both men and they had kissed each other.
"Aren't you at least affected by this truth?" he questioned thinking of the thief that was changing the plot of the story. He might have damaged the crown prince's head and made him crazy.
"May I remind you that you were the only one of the illusion that I am a girl. I have known your gender all along," the prince said.
After the revelation, the prince left the water. He hated his bath being interrupted and having someone else in the water with him so he didn't feel good staying in the water.
When he walked on land he could feel the intense gaze from the shocked prince of Xeris piercing hid skin from the back.
"I know I asked you not to look away from me but have some decency for my dignity," the prince said.
Jason looked away with his cheeks turning a shade of red. It was unlike him to ogle at a man like that but he couldn't help it.
The prince had neat abs that were perfectly arranged in six-packs. His skin looked soft to the touch made his fingers itch to caress his skin.
He did not even want to move to his thighs. The whole sight was a sight worth a second look.
He dived down into the water as his thoughts trailed down a path that he could never accept. But found rather hard to ignore, he didn't dislike thinking of the prince as a subject of affection.
And the fact that he was a man didn't bother his mind. "Wait, I am straight. What the hell am I thinking about?" he asked himself and decided to leave the water.
He made up his mind that it was the water that was messing with him and nothing else. His mind was just a little confused and the one he liked was Sashina and he would win her over and get his well-deserved happy ending.
"The weather sure is nice today," he uttered trying to make it a normal dude conversation. Because that was what they were. Just two dudes having a swim and chilling out.
"It's a bad sign. We should leave before something else happens," the prince said not liking his read on the clouds.
He threw Jason his clothes and did the final touches on his hair. He used the water as a mirror to make sure that his hair was fine.
That was when he saw a reflection of a red shadow moving above them in the clouds.
"I hate being right," he said.
