"Let me go your Highness." Lisa struggled out of Lucas's grip as he forcefully dragged her upstairs but he didn't budge and instead acted as though he didn't hear her.
"Let me go!." She raised her voice but he only continued dragging her and she noted that they were heading towards his room.
His grip on her wrist was tightening as she continued to squirm and she held the first aid box in her other hand securely.
"Where are you taking me to? Let me go!." She demanded but he pulled her into a different room entirely, closed the door and let her out of his grip as she lost her balance and the box fell on the floor.
"You can't keep doing this!." She shouted at him and he didn't answer but walked passed her to keep the first aid box.
"Who are you to stop me?." He replied and Lisa felt her heart squeeze in pain but she still steadied herself.
"Those people you kill have a life!." She retorted and he rolled his eyes.
"I don't see how that is my problem." He didn't seem to be in the mood to argue with her as he dropped the box on the table and ran his hand through his hair tiredly.
"It is your problem in everyway!." Lisa didn't know why she was trying to pick up a fight with him but she was tired of Lucas killing people without mercy.
"I killed the woman for you." He muttered as he looked straight into her eyes and she looked down at her feet.
"She wasn't meant to lift a whip at you in the first place especially for something you didn't do." He walked to her and she pressed her lips together.
"Death was by far the easiest way I could end her life." He whispered and lifted her chin to look at her.
"Why do you care?." She replied his whisper as her eyes searched through his for any possible answer that lay within it.
"I care because..." He stalled and leaned in, his lips brushing past her ear.
Oh no! Lucas was not doing this!
"Y-your Highness?." She stuttered when she felt him hum near her ear, her heart exploded.
"You'll find out why I care." He answered and pulled back, lifting his hand to brush away a strand of hair that was on her face and she blushed but folded her arms.
"I'm not yet done with you your Highness." Her gaze hardened and he chuckled suspiciously.
"Why do you always challenge me Lilian?." His tone became alluring and Lisa rolled her eyes.
"If I don't knock some sense into you, who would?." If Lucas was trying to seduce her then his plan was going to miserably fail. She knew Lucas like the back of her hand and she wasn't going to fall for his seductive behaviour.
"Your right." He shrugged.
"You know, I always wonder what you think of in that head of yours, you always blank out whenever I talk to you." There was a hint of curiousity in his eyes and she nervously laughed it off.
"Me? I'm not thinking of anything." A fake smile was plastered on her face but it seemed like Lucas didn't believe her one bit.
If she tells him that she suspected that he was trying to seduce her, he would not only throw her out of his kingdom, he would cut off her head!.
"Now I'm more than interested in knowing." He moved closer to her and trapped her by putting his hands on the door.
"You are invading my breathing space your Highness." She breathed, her heart thumping in her heart loudly.
"I can't invade what I already own." His voice was low, so dangerously low and it soothened Lisa's ears.
"I've told you before and I'll say it again. You might own everyone in this kingdom but you can't own me." Her breathing was becoming more difficult as Lucas held her in place. At this rate he was going to kill her!.
"Let's find out if I can own you." A low growl escaped his lips when Lisa put her hands on his chest to push him aside.
This woman.
"O-okay I'll tell you!." She spoke quickly but Lucas seemed to be long gone as he stared at her in a way she was all too familiar with. She knew that look.
"I want to explore." He placed his hand on hers the was on his chest and pulled her hand down gently before running his finger towards her shoulders and resting it on her neck. He leaned in, taking in her scent that ran his internal senses wild.
Damn.
"W-what are you doing?." Lisa inhaled fearfully, she was meant to push him away. She wanted to but his touch. She couldn't resist his touch.
"Exploring." Was all he said as he slowly caressed her body, his face deeply buried in her neck as he nuzzled sensually.
"Don't." She whispered as she felt him lick her neck. His lips felt like light feathers as he left fluttery kisses on her neck.
Fight it Lisa!
You can do this!.
"I can't." He whispered back as his hand that was on her neck slid down to settle on her waist.
"I don't want to do this." She mummered as Lucas's teeth grazed her neck. His fangs were out and there was nothing he wanted more than to sink them into her.
He wanted to taste her.
"Lucas please." She whispered and Lucas froze, his hand that was on the door trembled and he immediately pulled away from her. It was as though he was just infected with a virus.
"What did you call me?." He asked her, his eyes scanning her suspiciously.
Lisa was shocked. She couldn't believe she just called him by his name. What was wrong with her?.
"Forgive me your Highness." She quickly bowed her head and bit her lips as she prayed in her mind for Lucas to forgive her. She might have not been in this underworld for long but she knew that calling a royal by their name was bad.
Really bad.
"Do not make that mistake again." He warned and she straightened up and nodded.
"This is your room from now onwards, you will not leave here unless instructed by me am I understood?." He ordered and she bowed her head.
"As you wish your Highness."
He nodded at her before leaving the room in silence.
Lisa exhaled when she saw that he had gone. She couldn't believe she almost gave into him just by him touching her. She had to avoid him by all means and get that flower.
Tomorrow, she had to start her search.
After concluding with that, she switched off the lights and went to sleep.
Unknown to her, a shadow creapt underneath the door and stealthy approached her.
"Don't hurt yourself trying to fix others my dear, that's why I brought you here." The shadow touched her cheeks lovingly.
