Chapter 106: Bite Me
Zethan’s body stilled, unmoving. His eyes rested on her as they both gazed at each other. Lilia’s eyes widened at the sudden pause—she had least expected that pause, not to mention the way his eyes were still wide open.
Had she caught him off guard? She quietly opened her mouth.
"Fine then, if you can’t answer the question, kiss me, Zethan," she said in a whisper, which Zethan very much had heard. To her surprise, in a swift motion, Zethan moved his lips, crashing on hers as he kissed her hard as if using it as a way to tell her something. He pushed his tongue into her mouth as he kissed her hungrily, yet possessively. Lilia moaned as she replied to the kiss.
The main reason why Lilia had said that—she was scared. What if he says what she did not want to hear?... Was she ready? What if he had said "No"—what would she have done?
She pushed her tongue deeper, kissing him with the same sync as he did. Zethan’s eyes dilated slightly... his wife was rendering him speechless in so many ways. He pulled away slightly as they both stared at each other, their warm breaths meeting, increasing the desire from within. Lilia’s golden brown eyes met his crimson-dark ones, and then, to her surprise, something flashed in his eyes. Lilia’s lips parted in shock—what was that? Then, to her surprise, he moved back. He began to back away. Lilia’s gaze moved to him worriedly.
What was wrong? Why was he shifting away from her? Zethan moved his face to the side.
Lilia moved. She brought out her hands, but Zethan stopped her in her tracks.
"Don’t come any closer, Loris... please."
But Lilia moved again. She kept walking slowly and steadily toward him. She was concerned.
"No... honey, you can tell me what is the matter. I’m your wife, and I need to be here for you," she spoke softly, but Zethan shook his head as he continued to move back—Lilia had never seen him this vulnerable like he was hiding some internal pain.
"Don’t come any closer, wife," he said in a distant, cold tone.
