Just like a magnet Lithe couldn't resist wiping away the single drop with his fingertip.
Zen reacted by catching Lithe's hand before he could move away,
The moment was intense between them and Zen probably didn't realize that he was gripping Lithe's hand a bit too hard.
The pressure was that significant that it could break bones or leave a mark behind but to Lithe it was a bit disconcerting.
Finally Zen broke the silence between them when he spoke, "Lithe my world is completely different from the sheltered life you've known. In my world I'm not just a beast but the king of beasts. If you don't want to sleep with me now you should leave the room."
It was like Zen splashed cold water on him with those words, Lithe jerked away from Zen and he let him do so without complaint.
Lithe didn't like that Zen did not stop him so he chastised him instead, "That was a terrible thing to say."
"I only speak the truth."
