*MEMORIES- PART 18*

"Tell me Lilian, have you ever been kissed?."He asked, his hands still on her waist and her eyes widened in embarrassment.

Why would he ask such a question?.

"Seems like you have." He frowned, displeasure dimming in his eyes as his hands seemed to tighten around her waist which neither of them noticed.

"Whether I have or I have not been kissed is not you're problem in anyway." She forced out dreadfully. Lucas had no idea that he was the one that kissed her. He was the first and only man that had touched her but she couldn't tell him that.

"It is!." He raised his voice and she flinched "Whatever happens to you, whoever touches you is my problem." He growled and she tried to pry his grip off her waist.

"Let go of me your Highness." She struggled, her voice quivering. She didn't like what he was saying. He wasn't meant to say this.

This was bad.

"Stay still."He whispered, his face leaning into hers and her heart seemed to have nearly exploded.

"Don't do this." She pleaded, her voice dropping in volume. She wanted to stop this mistake from happening. She wanted to stop Lucas from ever liking Lilian.

"I won't hurt you." He half smiled as he nuzzled his face in her neck, the water in the bath remained stagnant as there was no motion. She sighed helplessly when she saw Lucas do that. It was an action she was yet to get use to.

He pulled back slightly and let one of his hand cup her cheeks"Do you hate me Lilian?."

The question was so sudden that she couldn't hide the expression of surprise that took over her features.

"You think I hate you!?." She didn't mean for it to come out that harsh but his stupid question irked her to no end. If only he knew how hard it was for her to watch him everyday without her being able to stay in his arms, feel his hair or even tell him her problems that were eating her from within.

"You didn't answer my question." He overlooked her rude answer and said to her which made her humph mutely.

"I don't hate you your Highness."

"Is that your final answer?." He asked once again and this time, Lisa gave him a good look before answering.

"Yes." She breathed.

She didn't know what happened next because the following second, she could feel his lips on hers. It all happened too fast. She tried to use her hand to push him away but her hand kept on slipping off his chest because of the water.

He bit, nibbled and suck her lips hard until a small cry escaped her lips.

Something seemed to have stirred within him as he grabbed a handful of her hair and devoured her lips ferociously. The water splashed as she tried to move backwards but it was then she realized that she wasn't only fighting against Lucas. She was also fighting against herself!.

She squirmed when she felt a sudden sharp pain from her lips and things seemed to click in her mind. Lucas had bitten her lips and was now sucking it nonstop.

"Let me go!." She mumbled only for it to come out as totally scrambled wordings.

His hand was slipping into her gown and a wave of pleasure and horror rushed over her. She didn't understand what she was feeling!.

Fortunately, he pulled away. He did it so fast that she had to blink twice in daze.

"Why do you taste so sweet?." He was breathing hard, showing clearly that she was affecting him just the way he did to her.

"Why did you kiss me your highness?." She countered and a small smile crept on his face. She gazed at him in confusion, trying to figure out why he was smiling like that but it seemed like the answer came knocking at the door.

"Your Highness? I've brought the maids you have requested of me earlier." Theodore's voice rang from the other side of the door and Lisa almost died on the spot.

"M-maids?." She stuttered. Her eyes widening in realization.

"What is taking him so long? I came to see hus highness now!." A feminine voice complained and Lisa didn't have to see the woman to know that it was the same woman whose brother was killed by Lucas.

"You looked shocked." He chuckled." Should I tell them to come in?."

"No!." She whispered hurriedly as her eyes darted to the door. If anyone were to come in, it wouldn't take a genius to know what happened.

"Oh?." He lifted a brow.

"Please don't do this to me. You are a prince and this may not affect you but a poor peasant like me would be hurribly affected. I may even get killed." She dropped a little truth in her sentence and Lucas gave her a skeptical look.

"You truly have many secrets don't you?." He hummed and ordered"I will be out soon, you all are dismissed." After he said that, they heard footsteps leaving the room before the door closed quietly.

"Try to not overwhelm yourself with too many secrets. It helps to tell someone." He spoke, taking her hand and placing a light kiss on it. After which he stood up making her immediately turn away in embarrassement. She didn't turn back until she heard the door close.

She didn't come out immediately and instead thought about what Lucas said. Would it be safe to tell him her secrets? Would he believe her or think she was crazy? Or would he persecute for being a witch?.

She dried up in the bathroom and came out to meet an empty room but a note was placed beside the bed.

I will go out for a few days and not be back in a while. Try to stay out of trouble, remember to sleep early and don't talk to any of the palace visitors.

From Lucas.

Lisa was shocked. He had written from Lucas and not his Highness. What did that mean? She didn't want to read too deep into anything but her mind was making up ideas. Maybe, just maybe she could fall in love with him in this timeline.

What was the worst that could happen?.
