CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
Liam staggered backwards until he regained his balance. Even in his wildest dreams, he never believed that Alyssa would push him such might.
“How dare you hold me like that?” Alyssa asked with a dead glare, staring at him furiously and as though she was in for a fight.
Liam was stunned at how she could easily switch her mood. A moment ago, they were both having a walk and talking excitedly and now, she was staring at him with a dead glare.
“I’m attracted to you and I know that you are attracted to me as well”, he explained while Alyssa opened her mouth in shock.
“You think I’m attracted to you?” She scoffed and shook her head in dismay.
“I can see it from your body movement, the way you look at me and smiles you give to me. That only comes when a woman desires a man”, Liam said with a small smile, as though he had uttered something extremely intelligent.
“You think that because you are a man, I would desire you?” Alyssa flared up, with Liam gaping at her in shock.
“It’s wrong for a man to determine the feelings of a woman. You have no right to say that you know what I feel about you, because you have no idea!” Alyssa blurted out in rage, startling Liam in the process.
“You don’t know nothing…Michael”, Alyssa said and was about uttering another word when she felt something moist on her lips.
She stopped talking immediately and that was when it dawned on her that Liam had just kissed her. With her eyes closed, she savored his lips, taking in the mint taste that came with it.
Hunger lingered on her lips, roaming through every corner and giving her soft bites at intervals.
Alyssa moaned in delight and that triggered Hunger’s present excitement. He fondled her on the breast just as he deepened the kiss.
Alyssa was overwhelmed with delight. This was probably the best thing she have had in her entire life.
“Michael…”, she mumbled and gasped as she did.
His hands were doing wonders to her and she could swear that she didn’t want it to stop.
“Don’t stop”, she murmured while Liam chuckled.
He pulled out of the kiss and stared at her intently, watching and how she blushed and quickly looked away.
“Now tell me, do you desire me, or not?” He asked with a wide grin on his face.
Again, Alyssa’s face flushed with embarrassment. She couldn’t believe that she had craved for him that much. He was right, she desired him…
Liam later bid her goodnight after which he walked away, leaving Alyssa who was still trying to process the details of everything that had just happened.
She squealed in excitement, covering her mouth to avoid drawing attention. The kiss was the sweetest thing she ever experienced and at that same spot, she wanted more of it.
Her excitement knew no bounds as she walked back to her room. It felt as though it was going to burst inside of her. She needed to talk to someone about it, because she couldn’t hide it anymore.
Alyssa got into the room and met the absence of Tiffany. She had thought Tiffany was around because she would have been the best person to listen to her and the feelings she has for the servant.
She finally retired to sleep, even if it was a hard one. Each moment she made to sleep, she would continuously meet images of Liam gazing at her and staring at her lips. And then, she would toss on the bed, with her lips spread into a smile.
***
Morning came faster than Alyssa imagined. She had only slept some hours to dawn and it wasn’t surprising to see that her body felt as though she didn’t get any sleep.
She had been so engrossed with thoughts of Hunger that she didn’t remember to sleep and rest from the day’s activities.
She went out for her daily chores and catches sight of Liam at several points. He was busy with people around and the only thing they did was wink at each other.
Her mind was about to explode in excitement that for a moment, she forgot that she had planned to leave the palace after meeting with the queen yesterday. After the activity between her and Liam, she didn’t see the need to run away anymore.
She was going to stay and watch how everyone would end up.
For her daily chores, she was to clean the queen quarter’s and again, her heart hummed in excitement. She had always wanted to be given the privilege to clean the queens room. Her heart was still in the artifact, since that was still her mission at the palace…
“You have his twenty minutes to clean up the queen’s room”, the head maid said to Alyssa who quickly nodded her head and dashed into the bedroom.
The queen’s bedroom was massive. With different corners, drawers and shelves, Alyssa was sure that something was hiding in it.
She started with the drawers and then, the shelf’s. All she searched for was something relating to the golden artifact.
Just as she flipped through the pages of a book, she suddenly stopped and dropped it back on the shelf.
This isn’t supposed to be her life. She wasn’t supposed to dance according to their will by looking for an artifact to help them when they never cared about her. The one person who cares about her was right here in this palace and she wasn’t ready to throw that away just because of some mere golden artifact.
With those thoughts in her mind, she returned to cleaning and sweeping the room; removing her heart from anything that concerned the golden artifact.
She wanted to focus on the new thing going on between her and Liam. That was her priority now because Liam cared about her.
She sighed deeply as she walked out of the queen’s bedroom, looking all excited.
Just as she made to walk past the closet in the hallway, someone grabbed her on the wrist and pulled her into the room.
She yelped in shock, with fear of being kidnapped. The first thing her heart pointed at was the punishment of the queen. “What if this was it?” Her heart beat accelerated when she realized that a hand was wrapped over her lips to prevent her from screaming.
“Michael!” She screamed in shock when she saw the face of the person who finally unwrapped his hands from her mouth .© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
He didn’t care if she called him a name that wasn’t his. All he wanted was Alyssa. He had thought that he could avoid her and erase her chapter in his life, but he couldn’t.
Liam smiled and hugged her passionately. They peered into each other’s eyes for a moment, exchanging thoughts with mere eyes and communicating a thousand words that the mouth couldn’t utter.
“Kiss me”, Alyssa said in a soft voice that made Liam laugh softly.
He caressed her cheeks and pulled her in for a fierce kiss. His tongue wandered around her mouth, sucking in every taste of her and moaning in delight.
He could feel his desires welling up by the minute and Alyssa could feel the desire raging. They wanted each other at that very moment and they both knew it.
Just at the peak of their pleasure, someone pushed the door open and barged into the room.
