What a Dilemma

"Is that a warning, Lord Gideon?" Freya asked him with raised eyebrows, letting out a chuckle as she turned to him. 

Gideon had a serious look on his face as he answered, "Not a warning, sweety. But consider it as me giving you a heads up on my future actions… I might end up hugging and kissing you soon, milady."

"How soon?" Freya feistily asked. 

Hearing her words, Gideon took it as another sign that she was alright with what he was doing. A wide smile stretched itself across his lips as he hastily pulled Freya close to him. With his one arm instantly wrapping around her waist, his other hand held her by the chin as he looked at her intently.

With their position secure, he leaned in closer to Freya as if he was about to kiss her. Seeing this, Freya closed her eyes, so much so that her face crumpled up into a frown. She was tense and trembling in his arms.
