DESTINIED TO BE THEIRS

Kiss?

I was completely lost in the moment as his words and touch sent shivers down my spine. We were dancing so close, and it felt like nothing else in the world mattered.

"I can't stop thinking about the way your waist is curved. I want to wrap my arms around it forever." He said I turned breathless at his words. I pressed my lips when his grip on my waist ti

Austin's hands were holding my waist tightly, he was swinging me to the tune of the song. The way he held me close to him, our body fixed to each other's like a key and lock.

Suddenly, he looked deep into my eyes and uttered the words that made my heart skip a beat.

"Austin, you are not joking. Are you?" I asked him.

"Joke? Do you think I am joking when I am looking straight into your eyes?" He asked me, I shook my head. He wasn't joking but too serious.

"And the way your breasts are touching my chest, I just can't help myself but get aroused. They are so soft and perfect," He said, without any hesitation. I was at a loss of words, he must be looking into my eyes but his body could feel everything about me.

"You are crazy." I tried to distract him, I didn't know our conversation would go this far.

The way he gazed into my soul made me feel like I was the only person in the room. His touch, his smell, his gaze, his words all of them were making my senses go numb.

"I want to hold you like this, for the rest of my life. It feels so good." Austin whispered in my ear, I felt the juggling of hormones through my veins.

"Austin,” I said, a natural blush spread across my face. As the music grew louder, we moved closer and closer until our bodies were colliding. It was as if we were the only two people in the room.

"Today before the blowing candles, I will pray that you should be my mate." He said and I was stunned to hear it. Will he do that? It was a full moon day and the moon goddess must be watching her children.

"But I just come for a party..." I told him, I wondered if he remembered me if this Diana turned into a Daisy again.

Suddenly, Austin leaned in and asked, "Where do you live?" I knew I had to be careful. Revealing the name of my hometown was too risky. But then inspiration struck.

"Where the icy peaks meet the sky," I said, twisting my words.

Austin was fascinated. He laughed and then, in one swift motion, he placed one hand on my waist and the other on my neck. My heart skipped a beat as we swayed to the music, lost in the moment. The warmth of his hands was making my body sweat.

"I have never been this attracted to anyone. You were different from all the girls present here. I have never seen you before, forget that, no one has seen you before. How is it possible?"

Austin said, suddenly his hands moved from my neck to my cheeks. It felt like an electric current surged through my body. He then ran his thumb over my lips. His touch felt a bit forced. His gaze went all over my body, and suddenly his breath heated up. More like he was turned on.

"These lips... are so seducing... So kissable. I just want to squeeze it with my mouth." His thumb was caressing my lips as if he wanted to extract juice from them like the petals of a rose. I was startled by the way he was grazing my lips. His thumb brushed my lips a little harder.

Electricity seemed to run through my entire body.

"Austin.." I took his name with a trembling voice. I got nervous.

"Why are you getting nervous? You are just one step to becoming mine. Just when I saw you coming from the crowd, I already planned to make you mine." He said and my heartbeat quickened as his lips got closer to mine.

He was already my first dance and was going to be my first kiss. He was so handsome. And I was falling for him. I bit my lips, our lips were so close, just a few inches apart.

Suddenly, my gaze shifted to Luna Betty, who was busy talking to someone. But then our eyes met and my expressions turned sour. Perhaps she noticed it. She paused mid-sentence and turned to stare at me with a doubtful expression, which made me nervous. Perhaps she had realized that I was Daisy.

"Austin.. Please." I put my hands between our lips and stopped him. His expression turned sour as if no one dared to stop him this way. I began leaving but he grabbed my hand to stop me.

"Hey. Where are you going? I was just kissing you." He said but I held his hand and tried to release my wrist.

"I am sorry but I had to leave," I said quickly running from there. Between the crowd, I started searching for a better place to hide myself. Everything was getting crazy now.

"Hey.. stop there. Stop." I heard someone asking me to stop. I turned back and was startled to see it was no one else but Luna Betty. She started to follow me. Her doubtful gaze made me afraid of getting caught.

Wherever I went, she was behind me. It felt like she would catch me any moment. It was already late and I stayed more than I expected; I probably wouldn't even stay to cut the cake.

I used the stairs to escape from her. As I ran to the side corridor, I found a room in the row, apart from hundreds of rooms, I chose one to hide myself. I knew Luna Betty would take years to find me here. How did she recognise me when nobody from our pack couldn’t?

I entered the room; it was spacious and filled with luxurious and different items. hundred times bigger than the one owned by Cherry, Clara and Catty. I was just astonished by its aesthetics. Everything placed in that room appeared dark and mysterious as if it was holding any kind of secret. In the dark and cold atmosphere, it felt like someone turned the air conditioner temperature down to sixteen Celsius.

It was too scary to stay there but still less scary to leave out and be caught by Luna Betty. I decided to stay there for a while, I rubbed my elbow and and stared at the photo frames that were hanging under the dim wall light. It was a little weird, everyone in the frame was wearing a long knee knee-length black coat with a high collar.

I turned to the other corner of the room searching for switches and my attention shifted to the big piano. It had a black, shiny surface that glimmered with the dim golden light. I didn't know how to play the piano, but I had a keen interest in singing.

I pulled the stool towards me and rested my butt on it. The stand felt too cold. I pressed a key on the piano. The sound echoed in the room, I stared around. It was a little haunting but fun too. I pressed another key, and the same thing happened. As I was running my fingers over the keys, I suddenly felt someone glare over me.

"I never like anyone to touch my belongings without my permission. But when I found it's you, I am glad you did it." He said, in a colder tone.

I turned around and saw Rowen standing there. I was a bit nervous because Rowen was quite different from the other two princes.

"Hey, I am sorry that I touched it without asking you." I already knew how angry he was when I asked for a hair from him. And this luxury piano must be his heartthrob. I pulled the stool back and tried to get up from it, but his hands gripped my shoulder and pushed me down as if he was forcing me to sit there.

"No need to get up. It's your punishment that you should play it for me." He said and I was baffled. I stared at him with widened eyes. He was so commanding and suppressing.

"huh?"

"I won't let you go until you play something for me." He wrapped his hands around me and waited for me to play something. I looked back at the piano realising that now I have to play it. I held the music sheet and tried to read it but I had no idea what was written in it. It was more like an unknown language symbol for me. I was trying to encode and play something so that he would let me go. I didn't realize when Rowen had come close and stood beside me. His face was near my shoulder.

"Do you know how to play the piano?" His warm breath was hitting my shoulder. Goosebumps appeared on my skin. I was flipping through the pages of the music.

"No... I don't know," I said. I loved music. I used to listen to songs on my mom's old radio, but I had never played any instrument.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to play the piano," Rowen said, leaning towards me. His chin was near my shoulder, and his chest was brushing against my back. Rowen took my hand and started pressing the keys of the piano slowly.

"This is A minor..." Sweet melodies started to emanate from the piano. But my focus wasn't on learning the piano; it was on Rowen's intoxicating fragrance. His scent was mesmerizing. His hands were holding mine tightly. It felt like I was melting in his embrace.

“What happened?” He asked me, I shook my head. "Have you understood what I said?" He asked me. I shook my head again.

"Then wait a minute." He held my hand and made me get up from the stool. There was only one wooden stool in front of the piano and He sat on it.

"Sit here." He said, My eyes widened when he said that.

"Where?" I asked him hesitatingly. He was already in the stand, where did he expect me to sit?

"Here" He tapped on his lap and my heart started pounding like crazy. He asked me to sit on his lap.
