Hellbound With You

Chapter 742 - For The Better?

Lilith could hear her pulse beating so loudly in her ears. Her blood seemed to be whooshing though her ears. The anger that was blazing so intensely just a moment ago seemed to have been melted instantly. Just because… just because Kyle was holding her right now and his face was just an inch away from hers. She had forgotten just how good looking he was up close. Sure, she knew that he was very handsome. But it had been quite a while since they had been so physically close together and his attractive looks have somewhat been relegated to her memories. But remembering how he looks and experiencing it physically in reality, was two very different things. And the sensations that suddenly sparked within her were like fireworks going off in every part of her being.

She could feel his hot breath puffing against her lips with his every breath. And that scent of his breath that smelt like mint made Lilith could not help but remember his kisses from before that felt as though they had happened so long ago. Oh, how she had missed his kisses!

Her mind screamed at her to quickly back off but… she could not even bring herself to look away. How could she even move her leaden feet to back off? His gaze had held her captive, and her body seemed to have become paralyzed at his touch. Why? How could this person always wreck her defences so easily like this all the time?

Despite all the chaos that was going on in her mind and the warning bells she had set for herself ringing so loudly in her ears, Lilith could not bear to push him or pull herself away. She wanted it… his lips… against hers once more. She wanted him to remind her again of how the taste of his mouth was like. Just for once, she wanted to be selfish and remember how it was like to lock lips with him and allow herself to let loose in their passion.

She felt him move even closer, their noses already lightly grazing each other's and that alone was enough to already send electricity sparking through her veins. Kiss me… her heart whispered out desperately. She knew he was going to kiss her now and she subconsciously held her breath.

A loud ringtone suddenly echoed between them, jolting them from the haze that had enveloped them both. Lilith quickly snapped out of that trance, and she pushed him away. Her ringtone was not that loud but inside that narrow and enclosed space, it sounded a few times louder to their sensitive ears.

Kyle caught his lower lip between his teeth as he stepped back, frustrated at the untimely interruption of that damned phone. Oh, how he wished he could crush that infernal thing into dust!

He could only rake his fingers through hair as he watched her answer the call. Looking at the object of his ire, he wanted to grab it and throw it far away and then pin her on the wall and… kiss her.

"I need to go back now." She said, already taking a few steps, hastily walking away.

And again, before he realized it, he had grabbed onto her wrist, stopping her just as they stepped out from the library.

She did not turn around even at his touch. "Please let go. I really need to go. My roommate will report that I'm missing if I don't return as soon as possible."

Kyle sighed. Now he could not help but really dislike that roommate of hers even more. He was really regretting ever getting close to her in the first place. If not for her being Luna's roommate, he would have ditched her long ago. "Well, if they look for you, just tell them the truth. That you're locked up in here."

"No!" she whirled around and faced him.

"No?" He cocked his head to the side, wondering why she had reacted so strongly.

"That… I can't say that. I don't think they'll believe me anyway. They'll just think that I'm fooling around if…" she trailed off and sighed. "I just don't want any drama. So I better leave now. Please… let go." She pulled on her hand, but Kyle still did not want to let go.

"Alright, easy, Luna. I'll let go okay?"

"Then let go now."

"Don't you think you need to say something to this knight in shining armour, first?" a smirk was gracing his handsome face as he said that. His grey eyes gleaming playfully in the dark.

"Thank you." she rolled her eyes as she quickly threw the words out.

"That's all?" he quirked his brows at her, prompting her for more.

She took a deep breath. "Thank you so much for opening the doors for me."

He tilted his head a little as he looked at her with another 'that's all?' look in his mischievous eyes.

"What else do you want?!" she grumbled as she felt the injustice of him bullying her this way.

"How about a kiss of gratitude?"

He watched her lips parted and his smile widen. But just as he was about to let go of her wrist, her lips suddenly landed at the corner of his lips. He was caught off guard at her sudden action he did not realize that he had already loosened his grip on her wrist. And as soon as she pulled away, she ran away as fast as she could.

Kyle lifted his hand and touched the part that she kissed as he watched her run away from him. He shook his head and he chuckled silently to himself. "Damn!" he muttered and as soon as he saw her entered the girl's dorm building, he turned around and left. His damn heart was rejoicing joyously, and it was strange at how he suddenly felt so alive again.

He could not believe that he was feeling this again. Was he really falling for Luna now? Was he truly over Lilith now?

That question erased the smile on his face, and he halted and leaned against a nearby tree. He threw his head back and looked up.. "Maybe this is for the better, right? Lilith?" he murmured as if he was asking the moon which was shining so brightly in the dark starless sky.
