*BURNING WITH NEED*

"You have tortured me long enough, it's my turn to take revenge. I fucking need you." Lucas whispered against her skin in the most seductive way she had ever seen someone use.

'Where did this come from?. Why was he suddenly on her.' Lisa wondered frantically in her mind.

Lucas's lips touched her neck and that earned a gasp from her. He was going to make sure she felt the slow torture he felt each time he was with her.

"Well..if you didn't think of me, I thought of you all day. I'm fucking crazy about you." While his lips where on her neck, his hand carressesed her waist slowly.

"The rules.." She sighed, Feeling an indescribable pleasure in what Lucas was doing to her.

"Fuck that shit!" He cursed and slammed his lips on hers, silencing her from saying anything else.

Lisa's eyes widened as Lucas kissed her so passionately, she felt herself giving in to it and soon the rules evaporated into the air. While they kissed, he wrapped his hands around her slim waist and pulled her closer to his chest. Unconsciously, Lisa lifted her arms and put it around his neck, feeling his tongue dance with hers like it was the most natural thing to do. Thier kiss said a lot of things but must importantly it showed how much he wanted her. His burning need for her.

Since the time that Lucas had kissed her to remove the poison, he couldn't erase the taste of her sweet lips on his. He didn't care what rule he broke right now, he will deal with that later.

While he held her, he felt her body becoming weak against his, and he immediately pulled away.

"Are you alright?." He asked, noticing her swollen lips and flushed face.

"Yeah.." She answered in daze as she could still feel her knees weak and would definitely fall down if Lucas left her.

"Why did you k-kiss me?" She questioned him curiously.

"I don't know." He replied and removed his hands from her waist.

He didn't know why he kissed her just now. It just felt like the right thing to do but now he had broken the most important rule of been a guardian. Did he regret it?.

No.

Lisa stared at him, trying to understand his expression but she couldn't as he had returned back to having a stoic look.

So was that it?. No confessions, no 'I love you' not even 'The kiss was wonderful' just an 'I don't know.

"What?" Lucas arched a brow at her disappointed expression.

"Nothing.." She muttered sadly and went to lie on the bed.

"Why are you acting like that?" He asked her, totally clueless at her change in character.

Lisa noted that he was now on the bed and also that he was a big fool. How could he not understand the reason for her change in behaviour!?.

"Lisa?" He called her and she turned to face him.

"What?" She snapped in an angry voice and his eyes widened.

"Ohh.. stop it Lisa, I think I'm going to cry." He faked a crying face and Lisa had the urge to laugh at his childish display.

"Then cry." She told him and he opened his mouth wide and let out a strange sound that made her burst into laughter which surprised Lucas in a fascinating way.

"Lucas, you are a drama queen." She said and wiped off a tear drop from the corner of her eyes.

"You should laugh more, you look beautiful when you laugh." He complimented and she averted her gaze shyly and mumured a thank you.

Deciding this was the best time, Lisa told him about what happened with celestial which he willingly listened to.

While she spoke, Lucas's attention was half on the the thing she was saying and more on her beautiful face but something she said Brought back his full focus on what she was saying.

"It was like something was pulling every nerve in my head." She explained to him and he cupped her cheek in his hand.

"Was it painful?" He asked her worriedly and she swatted his hand away, embarrassed by his sudden concern.

"I-it was bearable."

"Your body is trying to adjust with something." He said thoughtfully.

"What?" She asked him. There was a high probability of Lucas knowing the answer.

"I don't know yet but I'm sure that we will find out the answer from your brother. A little torture should get him speaking." An evil grin appeared on his face and she immediately rejected the idea.

"No!" She wasn't sure yet, but she knew her brother couldn't do this. He was innocent. She wasn't going to give up on him.

"Sweetie, even if a scorpion bites someone, you will still call it innocent." He smirked.

'How did he know what she was thinking?'She gasped.

"Lucas..I don't know but I feel like something is very wrong here.. like Alex is on some sort of spell."

Then it suddenly dawned on her. If her brother had been associated with witches, it meant there was a high chance of him getting manipulated right?.

"He is under a spell." She whispered in realisation and Lucas didn't look one bit surprised.

"My little deer is getting smart." He patted her head in praise.

"You knew it, didn't you?." She gave him an accusing look.

"I know you want to be like me." He boasted and she rolled her eyes.

"Should we call the witch now?" Asked Lucas.

"You mean Celestial." She corrected.

"Yes, now let's go to my most favourite room in the palace."

"Where?" She looked at him curiously.

'It most likely would be the physiciatrist office.'

"The dungeon of course." Leaving no room for questioning, he pulled her out of the room.

When they left, a shadow slowly creeped out of the curtains and whispered"I'll kill you Lucas and take back my mate."
