176 Did You Forget How To Kiss?

CHAPTER 176

"Damn it!! Damn you, Marceline. How dare you suppress my powers!" Isadora hollered at the prison bars.

She felt like beating the living daylight out of Queen Marceline. 

After the Mer Queen left, she had strengthened the seal and protection surrounding the dungeon, thereby inhabiting Isadora's powers. 

'I need to confirm what I saw.'

Her thoughts drifted off to the image she had seen earlier on. She had seen two people in an intimate way, with the girl lying down on the ground and the man on top. 

She caught a glimpse of the girl's golden hair, but she had her eyes closed. Irrespective, she knew it was her daughter. 

Then, his hair and eye came into view, but his face was hidden at her nape. She got shocked the moment she caught a glimpse of his eyes and before she could get a clear view of him, she broke her concentration. 

She couldn't believe her eyes and it troubled her. 'Blonde hair and green eyes... An elf! Is this a curse or a blessing?' She said in her mind. 

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry... Her daughter was in love with a man from the very race that stole her father away from her before she was born. 

Life was indeed cruel and playing tricks on her.

Before she knew it, a tear slid down her cheeks, followed by another one and another. Soon the tears flowed freely and she let it out.

"Oh, Eric. Why did you have to go? Why did you leave me?" she lamented her pain away.

It has been eighteen years and counting, and this was the first time she had cried since her mourning.

~~~~~~~~~

Far off in an unknown land, a lady is seen trekking through the deserted area sluggishly. Suddenly she feels funny and…

"Achoo!!"

She sneezed hard and turned around. Her eyes met with nothing but a dry land with a few trees here and there.

'Perhaps it is the dust,' she said inwardly and continued trekking.

After a few minutes, she felt the same tingling sensation in her body and before she could stop it…

"Achoo!!!"

She sneezed harder this time around. Immediately her eyes became red and teary. She briefly lifted her arms and wiped her at her nose and eyes.

"Twice in a row… this isn't any weather. Someone must be talking bad about me."

Her gaze went up towards the clear night sky as her eyes dimmed. "Astrid?!" she called the name in a whisper. Her eyes still fixated on the endless darkness.

After some minutes she averted her gaze to the road ahead and walked on.

'I miss you, baby and I'm coming. Please, Astrid no matter what you do, stay safe and stay hidden.'

One hand held her bag strap tight till her palm became white. While the other clutched her bag to her side as he made her way forward down the path.

~ELVEN FOREST – TUNNEL~

Jareth woke up first, then opened his eyes and tried to adjust them in the poorly lit environment. After some seconds, he became more comfortable and darted his gaze to his side.

His eyes landed on the peerless beauty sleeping soundly by his side. He smiled to himself before propping himself on his with one hand supporting his head and the other on the ground beside him.

After some minutes passed, slowly a pair of eyes blinked opened and stared brightly at the environment. The perfect black orbs seemed to radiate like a black pearl as its owner looked keenly at nothing.

After some seconds, she moved her head a little to the side.

She least expected what she saw. Her eyes met with a pair of green orbs staring right back at her.

He was awake and staring at her the whole time, like a predator watching over his prey lest it escaped.

As soon as she saw his eyes, an image from the previous night when he kissed her cleavage, flashed before her eyes.

Her eyes widened in shock at the little recollection of what happened the previous night and just when she was about screaming, Jareth reacted on time and covered her mouth with his hand.

With one swift move, he was at her side, half lying down and half-resting on her body. He had anticipated what she would do, the moment she recalled something that happened.

She blinked at him severally waiting for him to let go of her mouth. After a minute he loosened his grip but still covered her lips with his hands.

His eyes darted to the opposite side of the tunnel and she followed the trail of his gaze to what he was looking at. Her eyes landed on the little White Tiger-Phoenix beast sleeping soundly at the other dent.

Then they returned their gazes back to each other and she nodded in agreement, only because it would be too embarrassing for her if the little beast found out.

Getting her assurance, he gently removed his hand from her mouth and relaxed on his side.

She quickly sat up, adjusted her gown, taking the hand of her gown up her shoulders and then turned her head in his direction. Her once pretty eyes turned cold instantly as she glared at him, and quickly covered her breasts with her small hands.

"You took advantage of me!" she blurted out as a matter of fact.

"I took advantage of you?" Jareth asked, arching a brow at her. "So you cannot remember what happened at night?"

She calmed down, her eyes softening as she shook her head at him. "It is a blur, but you…"

"Why don't you try to recall? Take your time," he quickly chipped in before she got any funny ideas.

Her gaze drifted off from his face into the distance as she recalled the event of the previous night.

As she tried recalling, Jareth sat up and scooted close to her. He knew she would scream her lungs out when she remembered what she did.

The memory of how she intended on casting the spell on Avery and then she did it on herself due to his interruption, down to how she acted seductively and his kisses and caresses, all came flooding in her mind.

She turned her head to look at him, her eyes shining brightly from embarrassment. True to what he had thought, she screamed. "Ah….mmh"

As soon as her mouth opened, he leaned in and covered her lips with his, swallowing her screams and muffled moans.

He sure didn't know how to stop.

\u003cAuthor: Oh, Jareth!\u003e

\u003cJareth: *Glare*\u003e

\u003cAuthor: Sorry.\u003e

After some seconds, he broke the kiss. She didn't kiss him back as she wasn't expecting he would do that to her. Her eyes were still wide open from the sudden attack and he smirked at her expression.

He teased her asking, "Did you forget how to kiss?"

Getting her mind back she pushed hat his chest with her hands, but he was stronger than her and her effort became meaningless.

Rather than get off of her, he captured her hands and pinned them right above her head, pinning her down in place before pressing his weight down on her.

She was locked in. There was no escape route this time.

"Get off me, Jareth."

"Now you want me off. I seemed to recall vividly, how someone climbed onto me and ignited an extinguished flame, hours ago."

"How can you be this shameless?"

"I am shameless just to you."

"You are naughty."

"You didn't mind it yesterday when your moans filled my ears. If there is anything, you seemed to enjoy every single bit of it."

Her face became red immediately, blushing at his remark.

"Look at you all flushed. You like what I am doing, don't you?"

"Shut up. I do not."

"Lies, your mouth says one thing and your eyes and face says another. I think I better silence the one that is lying."

As soon as he said that, he leaned in to kiss her, but Astrid was faster and she quickly turned her head to the side. He missed and his lips landed on her neck instead, but rather than be angry, he had a smirk plastered on his gorgeous face.

"I see you love the markI gave you and want another one."

Her eyes widened at his statement. 'Mark!'

She couldn't believe her ears and then she turned her face back, so they were face to face. When she saw the smirk on his face, she knew he wasn't lying.

"Ah~"

He dove right in again, eating up her screams with his mouth. As he kissed her, his grip on her hands loosened. Astrid took hold of the opportunity to escape and continuously hit his shoulders.

He smiled into their kiss and moved his hand downwards, stopping just on top of her breast.

"If you do not stop struggling now, I would make you re-live the previous night," he threatened.

Immediately she stopped hitting him and became submissive.

"Good."
