Chapter 21 - Seduction & Murder

His lips feels so hot against mine and I felt my body feel weaker as he continued kissing me. His hand dipping lower from my waist to caress my hips. I heard myself let out a sigh, followed by a soft moan.

“No…crown prince…” I protested weakly in between our kisses as my mind started feeling hazy.

“Ren…call me Ren,” Ren whispered seductively as he changed the angle of our kiss.

Using this opportunity, Ren slowly slipped his wet tongue in between my slightly parted lips. I felt my body shudder when I felt his warm tongue enter my mouth and meeting my own. I’ve never kissed man before and this new sensation was making me feel tingly inside. I heard myself moan several times when Ren’s tongue grinded against my own.

When Ren’s lips finally parted from mine, I felt so lightheaded dthat I could barely keep standing. Sensing this, Ren supported my body with his arms around me as I leaned on him. I was panting hard as he gently stroked my hair.

Suddenly, I felt my body being lifted into the air and then I was in Ren’s strong arms as he carried me princess-style with ease.

“What are you doing? Let me down now!” I cried out as I started kicking my legs.

“Stop resisting or I’ll kiss you again to shut you up,” Ren threatened.

With long strides, Ren carried me from the dining room to the bed chamber prepared for us in no time. Being alone in the bed chamber with Ren made this situation seem too real and it was scaring me. Ren slowly put me down on the soft bed. The room was decorated in the auspicious and national color of this empire which was a bright red. Just like flames. The bed also had a red canopy overhead while the white mattress of the bed was covered in red rose petals.

I smelled roses quite strongly when I lay down on the bed as Ren loomed over me. This is so embarrassing; he is so close. Ren started kissing me again, this time more demanding and fiercer than before. I moaned when he thrusted his tongue into my mouth and sucked on my tongue. I felt the heat of his body as he moved his body closer to mine, his fingertips tracing the side of my face before sliding down the side of my neck and then down even further to my chest.

“No…crown prince…please…” I pleaded weakly for him to stop as my hands pushed softly against his broad chest.

“It’s Ren…and your moans don’t make your words sound convincing at all, my lady,” Ren replied with a smile before dipping his head back down to capture my lips with his. He sucked on my lips and tongue as he drank his fill of me.

This must stop. I can’t go on like this. Slowly, I reached my hand under the pillow under my head. It was still there, thank all holy beings, I thought as my hand felt the hilt of the knife and curled my fingers around it. I took deep breaths to calm and prepare myself for this. I never thought I would need to hurt and kill another person, but the situation left me no choice. I did not start this war between us.

His wandering hand continued to slip lower until he was on the verge of cupping my breast in the palm of his hand. I closed my eyes tight to steady my resolve before opening them wide. In that same moment, I slid my hand out from under the pillow and pointed the knife at Ren’s neck.

Time froze as Ren’s body stilled. The room became completely silent except for the sound of my crazy-loud beating heart.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Ren asked in an icy voice. I’ve never heard him sound like this before.

“I’m going to make you pay for your sins,” I hissed at him as our eyes locked. To my surprise I could see many emotions in his eyes, but anger was not one of them.

“I would be lying if I said that I didn’t consider this as one of the possible scenarios but…seriously…this is too amusing,” Ren said before his body rocked as he chuckled. I didn’t understand how he could laugh so carefreely when there was a knife pressed against his neck.

“What’s so funny?” I asked.

“Your joke, my lady. It takes more than a knife to kill a man. It takes a strong will to take another person’s life and the will to live with the pain for the rest of your life…especially if it’s your first time. So, tell me, do you have the will to take my life?” Ren asked as he smiled a little at me.

“I…” I started to speak but I didn’t know what to say.

“You better kill me soon…or I’ll have my way with you…” Ren whispered as his hands continued its journey downwards until he cupped my soft breasts in his palm. I gasp when I felt my womanly mounds fondled for the first time. The sensation feels more pleasurable than I had imagined possible. The places on my body where he was touching felt like it was on fire.

“Stop right now…or I’ll…” I started to threaten Ren; however, I felt my hand that was holding the knife tremble and shake.

Ren proceeded to squeeze and grope my breasts eliciting moans from my lips. Patiently, his hands slowly parted the collar of my robes to the side, granting his hand access to my bare flesh. I felt his hand slide inside and under my silk robe until he cupped the softness of my naked tit. His hand felt so hot on my skin, and I felt my nipple growing hard at his stimulation. I let out breathless moans as he started playing with my womanly flesh and I felt my mind getting cloudy.
