Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

It's an exchange

She was holding his hand out of her own will and this should be the first time something like this happened. 

Head in the cloud, eyes on their locked hands, Aleister did not snap out of his daze until Esme stopped walking.

He blinked. 

Esme turned around to look at him, ''I just saw…'' she trailed off when she noticed that he looked distracted. She followed his gaze and her gaze landed on their hands. 

''I didn't do it on purpose,'' she quickly retracted her hand before averting her gaze. 

Aleister tilted his head to look at her face, ''I know you are fond of not missing any opportunity to touch me…'' he leaned closer to her and continued speaking beside her ear, "…I will let you have the privilege. You can touch me wherever and whenever you want.'' 

Her jaws dropped. 

Esme tried to speak but no words came out of her mouth. 

''What? Are you so touched that you can't speak?" Aleister stepped back.
