Misunderstanding

Rune freezes and looks at me in confusion. I return the look of confusion. "What are you talking about?" He asks frowning. I watch his reaction and it seems like he really doesn't understand.. or did I misunderstand something? "The woman that was in your room.. Lilith." I say now uncertain. He coughs and says "That's my sister! I haven't been with another woman in the last eighty years..." I freeze and try to keep my face neutral but I feel like I'm failing.

"Right... sorry for misunderstanding but this doesn't excuse you man handling me!" I snap back and watch his eyes light up with humor. I huff and storm off towards the inner gardens. I hear him chuckle and follow behind me. My mood sours and I suddenly feel like an idiot. His sister?? I guess they do look similar but you'd think he'd have told me or something. Sigh...

In my own thoughts I'm not paying attention and fail to see him shift in front of me causing me to run into his chest. I try to step back but his strong arms were quickly wrapped around me. I scowl and say "Let go." I look up to find him smiling. He ignores me and says "Were you jealous?" I snap my head up and say "I wasn't jealous! I felt uncomfortable thinking that we were doing.. you know stuff and you had another women."

His smile doesn't fade but it takes on a gentle look as he lifts a hand to my face gently touching me. "Syn, you are the only woman I want to touch, to kiss, to hold. You alone. I want you Syn." he says the last part in a soft voice looking into my eyes causing my heart to skip and beat wildly. His intensity is scary but he was being sincere causing me to hesitate.

Do I want to be with him? I was attracted to him yes but I still didn't KNOW him. My eyes search his like I was hoping they would give me an answer to this. I open my mouth to say I didn't know but he leans down taking my lips and the answer with it. His kiss was gentle but firm causing me to lean into him and relax. He deepens the kiss and I open my mouth to him. He growls in approval and I freeze.

He feels it and stops. Waiting. A million things flying through my mind but at the end of it all the truth about me liking him was the only thing that really matters. It's not like we're getting married or something... dating. Just dating. Getting to know each other along the way and if it doesn't work out we just go our separate ways. Making my decision I lean into him and kiss him. I feel him smile and his arms tighten pulling me against his strong chest. It doesn't take long before he shifts us back to his room.
