Kiss Me Not

After dinner, Kimmy asked Cain to drop her off at Derhan Palace, where her mother decided to stay for a few more days. Kimmy smiled while reading her mother's text messages. Her mother was scolding her and telling her to spend more time with the family during these times.

"I bet she will not scold me if she finds out that we are dating. She might even throw me out to go out more," Kimmy whispered inside the car.

She turned at Cain and said, "you do know my mom likes you too much, do you?"

Cain chuckled. She grabbed one of Kimmy's hands and gently placed it to his lips to give her knuckles feathery light kisses.

"Yeah, and I intend to make her like me forever," Cain said in jest, making Kimmy shake her head while her face blushed. Cain was only kissing her hand, and here she was feeling strange again. His warm lips gave her a tingling sensation all over her body. In a straightforward definition… It made her very horny.

She timidly pulled her hand and acted as if she would use it or else she would get burned alive if Cain would not stop playing with her hands using his lips while driving.

Cain attempted to grab her hand again, but she moved it and said, "focus on the road."

Cain chuckled and said, "but my eyes are on the road. I can't kiss you yet, so I will just kiss your hand."

"We're almost at the palace. You can kiss me all you want there," Kimmy mumbled.

"Can I sleep there?" Cain suddenly asked.

Kimmy turned at him with raised brows as she said, "why are you asking me? The palace is not mine. Besides, you have a private room there, so I believe you can sleep there anytime you want."

"I mean in your room. Can we sleep together?" Cain whispered, almost a gasp.

Kimmy hid her excited smiles as she casually said, "Fine."

Cain smiled lovingly. He wondered if he was only dreaming because things were just too good to be true for him.

They arrived at the parking lot of the palace. Cain quickly removed his seatbelt and went out of the car to open the door on Kimmy's side.

Kimmy had a playful smile and said, "my seatbelt too…"

She purposely did not remove her seatbelt. Cain removed it, and Kimmy quickly wrapped her arms and pulled Cain closer to her.

She could no longer control the need to kiss her man, so she aggressively put her lips on him. Cain did not expect it nor see that coming, but nevertheless, he indulged himself with Kimmy's luscious lips.

Both were breathless when Kimmy finally broke the kiss.

"I like it when you're wild like that. Can we continue it later?" Cain whispered on Kimmy's lips.

Cain even gave her another peck on her lips. Then he immediately pulled her out of the car for fear of kissing Kimmy nonstop inside the car.

Kimmy's face was so red with embarrassment. She had a bashful smile as Cain held her hand and locked their fingers together.

"So, can we continue the kiss later?" Cain teasingly whispered in Kimmy's ear as they walked hand in hand inside the palace.

"Why are you even asking for permission? It feels awkward. Just do what you want to do," Kimmy replays with a bashful smile.

Cain chuckled and said, "ah, it's so nice to hear. I will definitely do anything I want with my Princess!"

They were giggling together and walking towards the private wing of uncle Lucas when Kimmy saw her mother with assistant Sean sitting at the courtyard bench. Kimmy giggled and said, "Come and let's surprise her. I'm sure she will be happy to see us holding hands like this."

They walked towards the elder, but Kimmy suddenly stopped, like Cain.

"What is going on, Cain?" Kimmy whispered as her eyes did not blink while staring at her mother and Sean that suddenly hugged each other.

"I'm sure it's just some friendly gesture and some consoling and comforting matters as a friend," Cain quickly interpreted the scene.

"It looks awkward, though. I mean, should we interrupt the hugging? There are other eyes inside the palace. I think we should interrupt them," Kimmy whispered.

Cain pulled her to walk on a different path headed to the private wing as he said, "don't worry too much, Kimberly. No one will roam around the inner courtyard at this hour since it's prohibited, and guards are standing by at the entrance. Only the royal family, like uncle Sean and me, are allowed to enter here anytime. Besides, It's not good to interrupt them in that situation. Tomorrow, you can talk to your mother about it."

Kimmy no longer answered, but she could not help but get worried.

Meanwhile, Leila gently pushed Sean and said, "I am sorry, Sean, that I took much of your time like this. You should go back to your room, and we can discuss how to proceed further to Edward's matter tomorrow. My head is too clouded right now, and I need time to think.

Sean sighed and whispered, "you should confine these matters to Kimmy. She's a grown-up woman now, and I'm sure she will be able to help you address things. You should hear her voice too since Edward is her father and Kimmy cares a lot for you. Whatever decision you came with, I always got you back, but I am hoping that you will think carefully about this, Leila."

"I've seen you suffer enough. Is everything worth it? Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak, Leila. Sometimes, it means that you are strong enough to let go."

Leila gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Thank you, Sean, for everything. You've been a good friend to me as always. Ah, what am I going to do without you?"

Leila grabbed Sean's hand and squeezed them gently as she added, "don't worry, and I will think everything through. I will talk to Kimmy also about it. My brother Lucas too… It's time he knows about this. You're right… I know you always are… you and Kimmy, but it's just that I'm too blinded with hatred in my heart that I wanted to imprison Edward in our marriage so he could not make her his legal wife. I want both of them to hide it in fear… I want them to leave like that, where they can't openly show people that the two of them are together."

"But you are always hurting in the process, Leila. Those two are still together no matter what you do. And I think the set-up of being in the forbidden love they are having is even making their bonding stronger," Sean commented.

He observed it for a long time while following those reports about Edward from his private investigator.

Leila heaved a deep sigh. She noticed how frustrated Sean was even in his voice. And Kimmy was begging her too to let her father go numerous times before. If she found out about Dally's pregnancy, she was sure Kimmy would be tremendously mad.

Another deep sigh came out from Leila. Maybe it was time to set Edward free… it was time to set herself free.....
