Chapter 53: Don't look at her

He gazed into her eyes that immediately shied away from him, and a red tint appeared on her cheeks and ears. His gaze then moved to her lips. The way she was chewing her lower lip, he was becoming tempted to touch them, and that's exactly what he did.

He rubbed her lower lip with his thumb before raising his gaze to her eyes. She immediately looked away as soon as her eye met him. 

Seeing her acting so timid and bashful, Sebastian wondered what she would do when she found she tried to kiss him in her sleep. And if it hadn't been for the mask, it would've become their first kiss. 

Sebastian grabbed her cheeks between his thumb and index finger, making her look at him from under her lashes.

She was flushed. There was no doubt about it. The way the prince looked at her with so much emotion today made her ecstatic, and she wanted to look into his eyes forever. She wanted to touch his face and let him see into her eyes.
