***********
All she could do was avert her gaze from the blue eyes that stared at her so fiercely. She couldn’t hold such an intense gaze, still in the arms of her saviour she felt timid like never before, he’d been holding on to her waist for longer than any other man had touched her besides her father and that alone freezed her.
For a moment, it appeared that they were both transfixed but soon, the invisible spell started to wear off. It was the boy who shook it off first and quickly brought Alice to a standing position before letting his hands fall away from her. Though his gaze was still firmly following Alice, guarding her every move.
They stared into each other’s eyes in awkward silence and when the boy cleared his throat Alice’s eyes widened, the realization of what just happened settling in her fuzzy mind.
A man just touched her!
Her cheeks started to redden instantly, an interesting contrast to her usually porcelain skin. Her face flamed when she caught his gaze again but she refused to avert her gaze again.
If her father got wind of this, he could have the boy’s head despite him just saving her life, she was a princess and she wouldn’t be shy when facing a boy her age.
"Who..." the words got stuck in her throat as she looked into his eyes one more time. She was staring at somewhat familiar blue orbs. way lighter than her ocean blue ones. It was drowning her again and she could not escape.
