693 What a dangerous game

"Sorry..." Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Lilou ground her teeth and kicked the stand in the hallway. She nearly choked and immediately hunched in pain when pain crawled from her pinky toe to the very root of her scalp.

"Goodness!" she hissed, limping with one foot as she held on to the wall to keep herself from falling. "That... duke...!"

Her face was already red in anger because the more she thought about Samael's apology, the more her blood continued to boil. Of course, Lilou understood why he was apologizing. However, he kissed her without asking for permission!

Shouldn't he take responsibility for it aside from saying sorry? It was disappointing!

"Had he not thought of the effects it will do to the other person before doing whatever he wants?" she grumbled in distress before her brow arched. Lilou limped towards the window, checking the people who were there outside.

It was Tilly and Fabian.

"What are they doing there?" she wondered as Tilly was simply following Fabian while keeping a meter distance from him. Meanwhile, Fabian was carrying tools to clean the garden. It doesn't look like he was aware Tilly was following him.

"Are they lovers or what?" she mumbled and sighed deeply, biting her lower lip out of habit. Her face crumpled as she could still feel the heat of Samael's lips on her lips and how tender they were. Even the sweet taste of his tongue lingered in her mouth.

"Is this even normal?" she muttered while covering her lips, looking around to make sure no one was seeing her flustered state. "It's my first kiss, and he is acting like I'm the only one who likes it."

Bitterness filled her eyes as her frown grew uglier. Lilou shook her head as Samael's apologetic face crossed her head.

"Get a grip, Lilou!" she slapped her already flustered cheeks to clear her head. "It's not that special! That's right."

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva to stop her racing heart whenever she would think about the feeling of being kissed. Lilou raised her chin, keeping this false bravado to hide her distress.

"For?"

"Lexx! Why are you asking me such a thing?! Can you just do it?" she gasped in dismay, only to frown when he laughed weakly.

Stefan sized her up and shook his head. "Lilou, just because my brother kissed you, you will use me to confirm if it should be felt that way?" He sighed while reclining comfortably.

"Since that is the case, pay me at least ten gold bars. It's cheap, but since we've been together for months, ten golds are fine," he added with a nod.

"What?!"

"Sweetheart, you're asking for something I preserved for a long time. I can't just give my chastity for free." He arched a brow and tilted his head to the side, biting his tongue to suppress his laughter at seeing the ugly frown plastered on her face.

"I didn't even earn 1 gold coin for getting my first kiss stolen! And you're asking me ten?!" she harrumphed, even more furious at Samael, since she didn't know she could earn from it. "Lexx! Seriously?!"

"Seriously." Stefan nodded solemnly. "Give me ten golds and I will kiss you for as long as you want. But without it..." he waved his fingers with a devious smirk on his face.

"Try asking others. They might give it to you since our guests are always bored," he advised, smiling kindly to hide the mischievous glint across his eyes.

Lilou smacked her lips and huffed. "Alright!" she nodded as she remembered their guest claimed to have lived with her. That means they were close, right?

"I can't believe you put a price on your lips when I'm asking for your help." She clicked her tongue and glared daggers at him. "Tch!"

With that being said, Lilou huffed and stomped her way out while Stefan chuckled. When the door shut closed, he shook his head lightly. A deep exhale slipped past his lips before he cocked his head back, unable to focus on what he was doing before she came in.

"I would've done it if you truly want it. What a dangerous game she's playing."
