102 Remove your clothes

"You sure you want to eat snakes rather than eat me?" Lucian raised his eyebrow in a challenging manner at her, his lips are formed in a smug smirk.

It's better to have a clenching abdomen rather than having a growling stomach, Aisha thought disdainfully.

Aisha held the slightly thicker stick, with the snake struck in a zigzag form, and took a bite of it. Both Aisha and Lucian are eating the snakes that Lucian skinned and cooked. And while it taste... rather unpleasant, it was much better with an empty stomach.

"We don't know when this rain will end," Lucian said as he ripped a piece of his shirt to tied and cover the remaining cooked snakes with the piece of his clothing. "I didn't cooked them thoroughly, so the snakes will be preserved for another day."

"You seems experience with this." Aisha suddenly commented and then regretted it afterwards as she saw how Lucian's eyes dimmed before it recovered to his usual expression.

"Hmm, it's because like you, I trained myself to survive in the wild. This is one of the basic things that a mafiaso should know, right?" Lucian looked at Aisha and smiled slightly.

But in all honesty, Lucian was used to these things because during the times when Lumière famiglia isn't born yet, he lives in the woods with the other elites.

Although what he said was reasonable, Aisha wasn't still convinced. She really didn't know what life did Lucian has when he was a kid. All she knows that Rafael bring a child back a month ago or so after Kristin's death. However, not once did Aisha sees him until that day when they met in Rafael and Kristen's wedding anniversary.

She was curious and was tempted to ask him about his life but decided against it. Aisha obviously noticed the change in Lucian's mood so she tried to end the topic and open a new one.

"The snakes tastes horrible and tasteless, but it was more than okay than your perverted suggestion to eat you. Will I be full by eating your salty body?" Aisha said, emphasizing the word "salty" because both of their bodies must've taste unpleasant because of the rain.

"Pity, and here I thought we could continue what we started earlier." Lucian shook his head in disappointment. No kidding though, he has been suffering blue balls from this woman whose hobby seems to be riling him up and then left him hanging afterwards.

One moment he was about to explode and then the next he will suddenly found himself having a painful abdomen and straining hard cöck. Lucian feels as though someone is deliberating to stop them whenever they will move unto the next base.

"We need to remove our clothes." Aisha suddenly blurted out of nowhere that sends Lucian, who is staring at the flickers of the fire as he pitied himself for having a blue balls, to raised his head with such speed that it sends him slightly dizzy and look at Aisha with wide eyes.

Of course, he knows the reason why Aisha wants to remove their clothes, and she meant nothing perverted but Lucian wouldn't miss this opportunity to tease her.

"Really? Although, you've shown your wilderness many times but I didn't expect you to be this... wild."

"What utter crap you are spurting?" Aisha asked with knitted eyebrows.

"It's not like I am judging you, of course. If you really want it, I wouldn't mind giving it to you."

"Lucian Lumière, you're not making any sense here!"

"What I mean is if you want to make love here, I would gladly give it to you." Lucian finished his shameless words with a smirk in his face.

Aisha registered his words, and immediately her whole face is burning with embarrassment. "You...! Shut that dirty mouth of yours for once, will you!?" Aisha reached for his head and smacked it hard.

Lucian was no match for her speed, and didn't have a chance to avoid her hand. He rubs his head as he shot her a look. "Would you want me to?" Though his expression is serious, but the mirth in his eyes and the teasing in his voice couldn't be conceal.

Aisha groans and hide her hot face with both of her hands, leans her body to her knees, and release a muffled scream of frustration. Afterwards, she lifted her gaze and meet Lucian's amuse gaze in between the gap in her fingers. "Just remove your clothes and let it dry by the fire. You'll be shivering cold later if you didn't remove it."

Ever since they were still a kids, Lucian liked to tease Aisha because she gets embarrass easily, and her face turned crimson red. She wasn't blushing in a delicate pink. Her face will turn red up to the tip of her ears. She was really cute, and Lucian was glad that this trait of hers didn't change. It just that her usual stoic expression was displayed every time for everyone, that they didn't know this childish side of hers.

And he's a possessive person. Lucian wants everyone to know that Aisha isn't that rumored ruthless Queen but a sweet and kind woman in her heart, but he also wants this side of her to only show to him alone.

Lucian smiled as he rosed from his seat. Even though her embarrassment from his teasing is entertaining, he knows when to stop for he might suffer from a black eye or bruised balls.

"You might not control your urges to pounce and eat me so I suggest to you to look away while I strip." Lucian said teasingly and then paused for a moment. "Though, I really don't mind."

"Shut up!" Aisha angrily said, and also rosed to her seat before turning her back against him.

She heard him chuckle before a rustling of clothes followed. Aisha took a deep breath and also remove her clothes. Anyways, he had seen, touched, and ate her body so there was no use getting shy over it.

Once she removed her clothes, she laid it beside the fire to dry, only wearing her lace black panties and a sports bra. Then she looked down at her body and frowns at the wet bandages wrapped around her injuries. She made a mental note to disinfect it with a clean water later. She only hope that the wounds wouldn't get infection.

Speaking of it, Lucian also had wounds and injuries in him. With this thought, Aisha turns around to face him and then froze at the sight.

Lucian's bare sexy back was facing her, and his back muscles flexes with every move of his.

But that isn't the reason why she stopped.

Probably because when they stripped each other naked, it was night and dark, that she didn't notice the faint angry scars in his body. Though it was faint, barely visible, but the thought of the pain he felt when he got that scars made her heart clenched painfully.

And before she knew it, she had crossed the distance between them and hugged him from behind. She could feel his body tensing up at their close proximity but she didn't care.

She placed her lips to his scars, not minding the saltiness of his skin. A drop of tear escaped from her eyes as she whispered, "You won't be in pain anymore. I am now here. I will protect you."

It wasn't a promise but a vow she was willing to do even if it takes her life.
