"I want to kiss you and touch you too. Lia…" Prince Aerus started to sound hoarse. His golden and pale eyes, very thick webbed, were now starting to fade. His sclera had become clearer, though there were still at least a few layers of membrane blocking it.
Drawing a one-sided conclusion, Lia thought that it was the membrane that separated Prince Aerus from the real world, which made Prince Aerus only seem to live alone with Lia in this universe.
"Do you want me to touch you?" asked Prince Aerus. Now he could sit up straight and could support weight with his strong spine. His tousled hair had begun to look neat, though without getting a significant touch.
The beauty of the Elfagos was indeed something. If only Lia was swayed enough, then she wouldn't be able to blink forever when she saw Prince Aerus approaching her.
"Why do you want to touch me again? I just want to ask. I mean, you did it yesterday." Starting to feel uncomfortable. Lia shuffled and tried to move away. However, her slender waist was locked by Prince Aerus's stout arms.
Some parts of their skin had come into contact again, with other sensations and conditions. The sting started to spread, and Lia couldn't stop herself from shaking.
Just a moment ago she had been scared to death if Prince Aerus didn't come to his senses. However, when the prince's consciousness began to crawl, she seemed to want to pull her hopes back. Because when he woke up, Lia would be the victim and prey here.
Prince Aerus' fingertips touched Lia's cheek, and then a breath of breath tickled Lia's skin. Prince Aerus kissed Lia's lips and devoured her slowly. As if he didn't want to destroy what he enjoyed, and as if he wanted to keep something.
"Because I wanted to. I want you." The waves that hit Prince Aerus began to rise, although there was no storm yet. Every recess and indentation was almost smoldering, and also some sleeping things have awakened, tightening things that cannot endure patiently.
"Am I wrong if I want to sleep with my mate? And am I wrong if I want to touch my future wife? I know from Hamdi that some girls on earth want lovemaking after marriage. Are you the girl who thinks like that?" The tip of Prince Aerus' pointed nose had landed on Lia's neck, and he pressed it to inhale the aroma between the beautiful curves.
Lowering each caress, Prince Aerus began to find Lia holding her breath and sweat pouring down her body. A small smile grew, and a kiss landed on Lia's lips repeatedly.
"Yes, I am that kind of girl." Lia closed her eyes, holding herself back. When her fist tightened and gripped, she found Prince Aerus' fingers slipping between her fingers.
"I don't want you to hold it alone, Lia. You already have me. Stop holding back." Prince Aerus kissed Lia again, directing his hand somewhere else. He made sure that his touch wouldn't hurt Lia, and he made sure that he wouldn't make Lia feel uncomfortable.
"Lia," whispered Prince Aerus right in Lia's ear, kissed her on that part, and also whispered back. "Answer me, honey."
BADUM! Lia's heart rate increased sharply. Feeling Prince Aerus touching her roughly might already have stung her. However, when she found another version of Prince Aerus, who was gentle and also very understanding, had almost conquered Lia even almost to her subconscious.
Lia bit her lip, confused about what her own heart wanted. Did she want this, or maybe she wanted something else?
"No!" reject Lia in the end. She gasped as her body tensed up. The storm and the waves that hit her had subsided, now only Lia's breath was left, or maybe Prince Aerus was still not satisfied.
"I have to work. It's already morning." Lia was looking for the right reason. She wanted to escape from the core activity, but she didn't want to make Prince Aerus die again.
It felt like she was negotiating, only with the situation instead of with someone.
Prince Aerus's face now locked Lia under him. His eyes that glowed with gold were now interspersed with purple, the membrane still enveloped him even though it was only a few thin layers.
Inside Lia's heart jumped happily. That way he could leave as soon as possible. Even if he would have to fight and argue with Prince Aerus later, it wouldn't be a problem at all. As long as Prince Aerus could return to health, whatever happened after this wouldn't be a big deal to her….. maybe.
Prince Aerus' head tilted up. He seemed to want to position his lips with Lia's lips. "I've frozen time. Time on earth doesn't run right now."
Lia glared. When she saw Prince Aerus' smile, the chills on the back of her neck grew even more intense. She had no idea what she heard. Even though Prince Aerus' consciousness hadn't fully returned, according to Lia, the prince shouldn't be muttering nonsense things.
Prince Aerus might still be delirious, but still….
"You stopped time?" asked Lia skeptically. She shuffled back, trying to cover herself with both hands. Lia looked away slightly when she saw that Prince Aerus was about to devour her again.
"Yeah, look out the window!"
A bird froze in mid-air, with misaligned wings. Lia widened her eyes, barely believing what she was seeing. She wanted to get up and take a closer look outside the plane window, but Prince Aerus' possessiveness confined her body stronger.
"No, no." Prince Aerus kissed Lia's cheek. "Don't go," he whispered hoarsely.
Now Lia could only see all the evidence of freezing at that time lying on a chair, with Prince Aerus controlling her above. Lia saw impossible sights, which she would never see even in a dream.
Not only did the birds' freeze, but paper flying in the sky also stopped. It was as if the wind that carried it disappeared after carrying the paper into a vacuum. Like being in another dimension, Lia saw various objects in the air frozen and floating.
Then there was another scene when a lightning bolt struck from one far end. It was a cloudy day, even though a few moments ago the sky looked quite bright.
After the clouds grew, thunder and lightning followed. At the far end, lightning and thunder seemed to burn forever, like eternal light. Then the lightning bolts that meandered, branched and swooped down now also froze.
Lia was like looking at a photo of a skyscape, with a very strange level of accuracy. The more dazed, Lia had weakened the guard of her hand around her body. She froze, probably from being fascinated as well as wondering.
Lia was about to say something, a question until she finally screamed as she felt her body sting from a gentle stroke.
