C5 Just irrestible

Following what he said, he leaned in and kissed her. Shocked, Ivanna had her eyes wide opened as she felt his cool lips against hers. She was soon consumed by desires as she started to return his kisses fervently, her heart thumping wildly.

No, wait. She had to stop this right now.

He now had a fiancee for goodness sake! If someone were too see them right now she'd be in serious trouble. But as he sucked and bit on her tongue, earning a soft moan from her, she found that she couldn't stop it, couldn't resist him. Her senses were muddled, How many times have she dreamt of doing this with him? She wanted this, wanted him more than she realized.

She felt his hands going to her chest as they fell into the bed still kissing. His kisses trailed from her jaw, down to her neck. He licked and sucked on her skin that she couldn't stop herself from letting out that embarrassing sound. Her body reacted so naturally to his touch, feeling hot all over, she realized where this was going

Slowly, she came back to her senses and stopped his wandering hands, she called "Ian... " She didn't wish for her voice to come out in a whisper like that but she was quite breathless.

"Shhh... " Ian shushed her up and took her lips in his again but Ivanna resisted this time. She looked up at him with watery eyes and called again "Ian... W-what does this mean?"

She needed to know why he suddenly kissed her out of the blue. Could he perhaps... Have feelings for her?

"You know better Ivy" Ian whispered, his smoldering gaze fixed on her.

"No, I want to hear it from you. Tell me, are you inlove with me"

Silence reigned as she asked this question, for a long time nobody spoke and they just stared at each other before Ivanna looked down disappointedly. She internally laughed at herself for making assumptions again before a surge of anger rushed through her "Then, why did you kiss me? You just want me as your play thing right? Before you get married? After you get married?"

Hot tears started to spill down from her face as she tried to push him away but he wouldn't let her. He pinned her hands to the mattress and kissed away all of those tears gently "Don't cry Ivy... It hurts me"

His lips went down to her's, and he kissed her once again, this time more tenderly. Ivanna found herself kissing him back again, he was just irresistible. She managed to break the kiss and he looked at her as if searching for something. He opened his mouth to speak but ended up not saying a word.

For a moment, she thought she saw something flash in his eyes but it was quickly gone when she looked again. Was it... Fear?

And then unexpectedly, he pulled her down with him and asked her to sleep. She obeyed though, thinking that she'd talk it out with him the next morning.

What she didn't expect was for the palace to be in chaos the next morning.

Ian was going to confess his feelings for her. He really wanted to tell her how he dreamed of having her in his arms like this but when he opened his mouth to speak, he saw her laying in a pool of cold blood. He felt fear for the first time, he didn't know if it was a vision of the future or not but what he'd know is that he needed to bury his feelings if he wanted her to be alive. He couldn't bear losing her no mater what.

Ivanna woke up with a yawn. She looked around and found she was in Fiona's room. Well, she was disappointed because she wanted to feel his strong arms around her when she woke up. Then Something hit her, she gasped as she thought 'What if yesterday was just a dream?' She sighed 'But it felt so real I can't believe it would be just a dream' She quickly went in front of the mirror and saw how her lips was swollen, then some visible hickeys on her neck. She smiled and reassured herself it was real anf not a dream.

She noticed Fiona wasn't in the room 'The girl is an early riser anyway' she thought placing a hand on her lips, she giggled softly and exited the room.

She went down a corridor then took a corner into the main chambers. That was when she started to hear whispers, feets shuffling around and some crying faces. Ivanna knew something was wrong immediately, she thought about how empty the hall way was just now and furrowed her brows in a frown. She had this goosebumps again that filled her with dread.

Nobody noticed her when she entered the throne room. The guards, the maids, nobody looked her away. The guards lookes like they were busy while the maids... Well, some looked frightened while some of them were crying. But... For what?

Ivanna didn't know what to feel as she stepped further inside, the first person she set her eyes on was Fiona who was crouched on the floor crying not bothering to keep her princess composure as she clutched a shirt in her hands. The queen was also silently sobbing but it looked like it was for a different reason. Ivanna loomed around. The emperor, king Rufus and his wife, Tanya. All of the royal family and even the guests from the previous day were present apart from one person "Ian"

Her heart started to beat wildly from fear. She rushed to Fiona.

"Fiona, what happened? Where's Ian?" She demanded but that only made Fiona cry more so she just snatched the cloth she gripping tightly and searched it. It had Ian's faint smell on it. A tear fell from her eyes when she saw the shirt was fully covered in blood.

"Ian... " She whispered, feeling her legs go weak. Just what exactly happened last night?
