"No way! I love your face more!"
The moment she blurted out her inner thoughts, Arthur sensed that his heartbeat wasn't in the right order anymore. For some reason, all his senses were going numb.
In the next second, he noticed her face turning pale. 'Why is she making that face? Did she really not want to tell me what she was feeling? Is it because I avoid other women who force themselves on me? This can be the reason,' Arthur thought.
He leaned forward and touched her forehead with his. He gazed at her in the eyes and inquired, "Do you love my face?"
Veronica nervously stared at his eyes. She couldn't speak. She was scared.
Arthur let out a deep sigh. Other girls wouldn't hesitate to jump on him and tell him how much they loved him and yet, this girl wanted to keep a proper distance from him after she realized her feelings.
'Why are you so difficult to handle?' he wondered. He circled his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest. After that, he planted a small kiss on her forehead.
He noticed her body getting rigid. He comfortably hugged her, trying to ease her. Then, he said, "If you don't want to share your thoughts, it's okay. I will wait. But, promise me you won't ever sacrifice yourself for me or anyone else."
Veronica's heart was in a mess. She pondered as her heart was thumping loudly, 'Wh-what does he mean? Why is he being so intimate? I don't think I can handle it.'
Arthur added, "Nonetheless, don't think you can stop me from what I want to do."
Veronica cautiously questioned him, "What do you want to do?"
"Something like this," saying that he kissed her right eye.
"Umm!" Veronica flinched and subconsciously shut her eyes. Afterward, she sensed his lips touching her other eye before trailing down to her cheek and then her jaw. She shuddered and her fingers clasped his clothes.
"...And this…" Arthur whispered in a husky voice and sucked her lower lip. Her lip was soft. It tasted sweet. He felt like he was eating cotton candy. He became greedier and devoured her upper lip as well. With each passing second, his kiss became wilder.
"Mnn..." Veronica let out a soft moan. She closed her eyes and stayed still. 'It's a dream. This is a dream,' she thought. She feared that if she opened her eyes, everything would change. She opened her mouth and tried to kiss him back.
However, Arthur didn't let her do as she wished. He pushed his tongue inside her mouth and roamed around. Her mouth tasted sweeter than anything else. Maybe it was because she drank fruit juice earlier.
It had been so long since he last kissed her like this. It reminded him of their first encounter. That night, he tasted her. She was so fresh and pure. He wasn't able to be with other women after that night. His thoughts wandered around as he recalled her taste of that night while his tongue touched the roof of her mouth.
It was ticklish. Veronica subconsciously jerked her head and ended up biting his tongue.
"Ouch!" Arthur winced and looked at her.
Veronica realized what she had done and looked guilty.
Arthur stared at her for a couple of minutes. Seconds ticked away while Veronica became scared. She wanted to say 'sorry' but her body was pulled toward him abruptly and in the next second, she was lying down and he was hovering over her.
Then, she heard him saying, "Princess, you are quite stubborn."
"I'm sorry!" Veronica immediately apologized.
Arthur inquired, "What are you sorry for?" His expression was serious.
"I bit your tongue. I didn't mean it." Veronica was restless after seeing his expression. She wanted to run away from his hold.
Arthur playfully asked her, "Then, do you want to continue what we were doing?"
Veronica's face tinted with a red hue. She wanted to but she couldn't just ask for it. She wasn't that shameless. She couldn't take his bullying. She complained, "Why are you acting like this, you skirt chaser?"
"It's because I'm a skirt chaser…" He pondered about the title. He didn't like the title. He thought he should be called something more special. "No, it's better if you call me 'princess chaser'. Because the only woman I have ever chased is you."
Veronica couldn't believe him. She couldn't help asking, "When did you start chasing me?"
Arthur confessed, "The moment you forgot about your own life and saved me. How can I not fall for you after what you did?"
"What?!" Veronica was astounded. She wouldn't be that surprised even if the world fell apart. "You are… you are joking, right? Don't treat me like other women."
She greatly feared he would get tired of her and throw her away. After that, nothing would be left. She didn't want that. She would rather have him close to her as a friend. At least, he would be by her side.
When she asked that, Arthur realized why she was hesitating so much. He kissed her cheeks affectionately and said, "What if I say I'm serious? What if I say I want to be with you for the rest of my life?"
Without noticing, her eyes teared up. She held them back and didn't let them fall. "Why… why will you fall for me? Just because I saved you? There were plenty of women who took care of you before, right?"
Arthur answered her, "There was none. No woman ever took care of me when I was greatly injured. No woman ever came to save me knowing their lives would be at stake. No woman ever looked at me in the same way knowing I killed people."
Veronica remembered that he killed people. She never approved of killing people but it was to save themselves. Later, she debated inwardly about this a lot. Killing people was wrong but they had to survive. In the end, she gave in. She concluded that if there was a situation like that, she had to survive just like Arthur did or she would end up dying.
"Then, does this mean…"
