"What was that for?" Lucien asked once they broke the kiss.
Ronan smiled indulgently at the man whose cheeks turned slightly pink from the unexpected kiss.
"I just want you to know how much I love you."
Lucien gave Ronan's chest a gentle push. "Ronan, I..."
He was silenced by a single finger that pressed against his lips.
"You are not obligated to respond to each of my love declarations. I already said that I want to hear no rejection."
Lucien smirked. "What if rejection is all I have for you?"
Ronan smirked in return. "Then you will have me at your neck for the rest of your life."
"..."
Ronan's smirk was soon wiped off his face when the room service came to knock at the door.
