Hellbound With You

Chapter 702 Again

His body shuddered a little then he fell silent for a while before he continued.

"I am well aware of the dangers… my responsibilities and yours too. Especially now that you've been given the responsibilities of being the next queen. I know our situation has become even more complicated that it is almost impossible. But even those reasons weren't enough to stop me from loving you and wanting you. I'm afraid sooner or later, I'd lose this battle and just come out to fight against the world to have you. But I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to cause any trouble for you... I don't want to make things hard for you…" Kyle paused. His heart was aching so badly. Maybe because he somehow felt that Lilith would choose her people and responsibility over anything else. Kyle could just see that she was as devoted as the late queen Alicia, and he was proud of her. She would be a great queen like Alicia was. She might be even greater, one day.

With a sad smile on his face, he pulled away and looked her in the eyes. His hand resting below her ear as his thumb caressed her cheek over and over, revelling in the satiny feel of her skin under his thumb.

"That's why… I'm going to say goodbye again." He said as his eyes gleamed in pain. Saying it this time was much harder than the last time. And it felt much more painful as well that he felt as though his heart was being shattered and squeezed to death at the same time.

"I don't think I could do this again for the third time around, Lilith." He added as Lilith just stood there, looking at him, one silent tear falling from the corner of her eye.

Kyle bent forward and kissed the tear off her face very gently. Then he looked into her eyes again. "That's why I… I vow to myself I will never come here to see you again. I will do everything I can to avoid you… to never see you… because if I see you again, I know I can never let go of you again no matter what happens. So do everything you can… not to cross path with me ever again after we part today, Lilith." He said and Lilith's tears fell. She could hear the bitterness and pain mixing in with love and adoration as well in that baritone voice of his.

He bent over her and then before they knew it, they were kissing like there was no tomorrow. Kyle's hand gripped the back of her head as his tongue explored the insides of her warm mouth. Tasting and savouring her like he had all the time in the world. Then all of a sudden, his kiss became wild and fiery and filled with all the unrestrained passion and desires that was pent up within him. He began to tangle his tongue with hers, playing tag and then sucking her like he was starved for her for so long until Lilith was left breathless, and her mind was in a whirl.

They pulled away before coming together again and then kissed each other feverishly, both letting themselves get lost in each other's embrace and kisses. They wished it would last a little longer.

But dawn came too fast, and the sky slowly lit up in a rosy hue, ushering in the promise of a new day.

They pulled away and Kyle wiped her slightly swollen lips with her thumbs. "Please remember what I said, Lilith. Don't let me see you again." He told her for the last time. 'Because when I see you again… even if it's a coincidence, I will stop at nothing anymore. Nothing, not even death would be able to.' He continued inwardly then after planting a kiss on her forehead, he whispered an emotion filled "I love you" and disappeared from her sight, leaving Lilith's vision blurry as her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

…

Inside the forest, Alicia's spirit and Zeres were waiting for Lilith in front of the Crystal cave's entrance.

Alicia was staring at the white flowers her friends and acquaintances had left for her while Zeres was leaning against a tree trunk, staring unwaveringly at her.

"Will you come over every now and then?" she asked him lightly, without turning around to look at him.

"I don't know." Zeres replied curtly.

Alicia then turned to face him and studied his expression. The man was becoming harder and harder to read. Though Alicia knew he was definitely thinking about something other than the task she had given him and that was to watch over Ezekiel closely.

"Then I think, I'd better be the one to visit you. So, make sure not to hide your whereabouts –"

"You don't need to visit me, Alicia." Zeres cut her off. "Just stay here. You need to teach and assist Lilith."

His unfeeling words made Alicia sigh in dismay. She knew that he was still miffed at her decision on how things were happening. She approached him but Zeres looked away, avoiding her gaze. "I can't promise. I would definitely want to come and check on you –"

"If you're afraid I will break my promise and start up some trouble behind your back, I already promised you I'll never do such thing again, Alicia." Zeres said firmly.

"I'm not worried about that. I know you won't break your promise to me, Zeres. I just want to…" Alicia trailed off.

"To what?" Zeres stated blandly.

At that moment, Lilith appeared and the two immediately fell silent, seeing that Lilith must have already dealt with her relationship with the vampire prince.

"It's time for me to go." Zeres told Alicia and then he turned away. He stopped before Lilith and patted the top of the young witch's head gently. Then he too, disappeared and left the Black Forest.
