It was the next day after he had ensured that Amaria has started to want him more. He decided to give her some time to cool off before he started his own plans to get her for himself.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Cassian asked Amaria calmly as he met her in the library.
"No? Why are you asking me that?" Amaria asked him confused, but also slightly hesitant as she looked down.
"Because I can see that you have been acting differently in front of me." Cassian said to her as he crossed his arms.
"It's nothing. I just have a few things in my mind." Amaria said to him as she wanted to stop the conversation there.
"And what might it be, if I might ask? After all, your behaviour had changed very suddenly overnight." Cassian said to her calmly as he looked at her.
Amaria looked away from him when he asked that, but right now apart from the two of them, there weren't anyone in the library, as he had told Caitlin to take Amaria's maids with her outside, so the two of them are the only ones there.
He waited for a few more moments, but she didn't utter a single word as she just stood there and fidgeted in place as he looked at her.
"E-Excuse me, but I think I should go now." Amaria said nervously as she turned to walk away.
But he immediately put a stop to that as he grabbed her left wrist, causing her to freeze in place at the feeling of his hand on her wrist as she slowly looked at it.
"I think we should resolve this immediately, since I will be returning soon." Cassian said to her calmly as he made her turn and face him.
"I-It isn't anything serious, Lord Cassian." Amaria said to him respectfully as she stammered a bit.
'Stop that.' Amaria thought to herself as she looked at him.
"You like me, don't you Amaria." Cassian said to her as if stating a fact.
"Wh-What!?" Amaria said in a tone of horror at his words.
"I have been observing you whenever we have spent one time together, and I have seen how you have changed. As I have come to understand, you have feelings for me. But, you are conflicted about them since I am your little sister's betrothed." Cassian said to her calmly as he held her in place.
Amaria's mouth opened but no words came out as she looked at him in stunned silence as she didn't know what to say to his words. After all, what was she supposed to even say when he is unraveling her so easily.
"There is also your duty to your own family as well, after all, your hand in marriage will be beneficial after all. Politics is an important part of a nobles life." Cassian said to her calmly as she flinched.
"Please, we can stop this here." Amaria said feeling vulnerable as he talked.
Cassian kept his eyes on her as she became more nervous, after all, she had only just accepted the fact that she has feelings for him, and now the same man is telling her how he knows about her own feelings.
"But do you really wish for that to happen?" Cassian asked her calmly as he took a step forward.
Amaria froze again when he took a step towards her as she didn't know what she was supposed to do. Her heart was beating quickly at being so close to him, and yet her mind and sisterly part of her wanted to stop this as well. These two sides of her were in conflict and it only served to confuse her more.
Cassian meanwhile slowly released pheromones which will cause her to feel more attracted towards him as he gently grabbed her chin and raised her head to look at him directly.
Amaria blushed at the touch as she looked at him, her blush deepening as she looked at his face as the feeling of wanting to get closer to him increased.
Cassian brought his face close to her own as she felt anticipation build in her chest as she watched him get closer to her. She had an inkling as to what he is planning to do, but she couldn't bring herself to stop him.
And then she felt his lips press against her own, she felt his hand let go of her chin and hold the back of her head as he let go of her wrist and snakes his arm around her waist and pulls her towards him as he deepened the kiss.
She felt butterflies in her stomach as he kissed her and she felt happy at his touch. He was the kind of man that she had wanted to marry, and now he is kissing her. She knows that he is her little sister's, but she wants to be held by him, but being kissed by him like this is making her want to be even closer to her.
'I feel so happy while kissing him. I never knew I could feel like this.' Amaria thought to herself as she kissed him as she leaned onto him.
Her worries were momentarily forgotten as she was held by him as she leaned onto him, as she wanted to feel him better as she wrapped her arms slowly around his back as she kissed back.
Then they stopped the kiss as she looked at him with longing as he smiled at her. But she realised what they have just done after a few seconds, as she felt horror at their act, but she was also apprehensive as she wanted to feel it more.
'He is Leah's, but, I want to feel him again. Why does Leah get a man like him before me? He is so good.' Amaria thought to herself as she felt jealous as she lightly but her lower lip.
Cassian saw her action as he chuckled slightly before he pulled her and kissed her again, as she moaned slightly at the action as she leaned onto him as best as she could as he smiled inwardly.
'It is going according to plan.' Cassian thought to himself as he enjoyed the feeling of her lips.
At the same time, Amaria also felt happy at being held and kissed by him as she also enjoyed the kiss that she is sharing with him.
'I want him to hold me more like this. I like being held by him like this.' Amaria thought to herself as she enjoyed the feeling of being kissed.
They kept at it for a few more seconds before they stopped kissing as she looked at him as she took a few breaths as he smiled at her as she blushed at seeing him.
"So, what do you want Amaria?" Cassian asked her with a small smile on his face.
Amaria just looked at him as various thoughts went through her mind, her family, her position, her sister, all of these things and more went through her mind.
Her own feelings and thoughts regarding Cassian went through her mind as she looked at him and then opened her mouth to say her thoughts and feelings regarding the matter.
