Chapter 66: Pill Time

Chapter 66: 66: Pill Time


It was an order and they couldn’t question it


"Huh? But..."


"Just leave. I’ll be okay" Elvis ordered.


Mr George had no choice. He left with the other maids, leaving only Eden and Elvis alone in the room.


Eden smiled "What’s wrong with doing it in front of them? You must be that shy"


"I haven’t heard of any pill that is effective with a lip to lip delivery. Are you sure you’re not making that up?" Elvis glared at him.


Eden smiled. "Why would I? It’s a rare pill from a great wizard like me. So you shouldn’t expect an ordinary means of delivery, Your Royal highness"


Elvis hesitated for a while, still staring at him.


"But I won’t force you at all, if you don’t want to get better. You can leave" Eden shrugged.


"After all I’m not the one who has all these responsibilities upon them to meet up. You can just stay here being handicapped while you miss the haunting eveny. And probably waiting for your death soon..."


"Shut up" Elvis muttered in a husky tone.


Eden stared at him with a smile "So? You want it?"


Elvis hesitated. Closing his eyes and opening them. He looked so done.


He had probably told himself "It’s a one time thing. nothing much to it" he inhaled and exhaled for a couple of times before he said.


"Serve it"


That was enough for Eden to know what he meant "I thought you wouldn’t agree" He said as he put the pill into his own mouth.


Elvis had his eyes closed as Eden leaned closer to meet his lips. This was their first "kiss" that wasn’t abrupt or sudden.


It was probably the only one that had both of them ready for it. One where they were willing.


"Remember to open your mouth, My Prince, so the pill can go in" Eden reminded, his face close to Elvis’s.


Eden pushed in for the kiss. A slow and steady advancement that left both hearts fluttering unconsciously.


Soon, his lips were on Elvis’s lips. Elvis’s soft lips were gently parted by Eden’s mouth and his tongue made its way into Elvis’s lips.


It had broken into a kiss. One that made Eden explore Elvis’s mouth with his tongue while inserting the pills in.


For a second there, Eden had forgotten why the kiss had started in the first place. He was now engrossed in it, having his mouth enjoy Elvis’s mouth. Enjoying every bit of this straight man’s lips while forgetting that the pill was already in.


It was his tactics after all. Eden’s way to seducing these men. And planting a kiss was bound to strike some chords in it.


Giving his experience, he could say his planned kiss with some straight men had evoked things in them. Feelings that left them troubled and curious of.


One that made them think of him and the kiss for long. One that made them come back to him.


And he guessed that was what he was going to use to break through Elvis and get him curious too.


The kiss that was supposed to last like a second had been a whole minute now. And their lips were still on each other’s.


Elvis lay there, eyes shut. His mouth made no movement but he allowed Eden to lead him on with the kiss. As though for a second there he had gone mad..


It took another thirty seconds before he finally flipped open his eyes and pushed Eden off, breaking off the kiss.


"What are you doing?" He muttered.


Eden smiled, still sitting on his bedside "Your condition is critical, so it needed time to digest" he said watching as Elvis cleaned the kiss off his lips.


"You’re blushing..." Eden smiled, staring at his cheeks.


"You want to die?" Elvis threatened, his cold eyes on Eden now.


"Whatever" Eden smiled "You should get better after that. So rest well" He continued with his towel. Massaging it over his forehead.


They were quiet for a while as Elvis asked him "So you’re not powerless after all"


"Huh?"


"For you to create such chaos proves that you still have some powers in you. Even though I sealed them off" Elvis was now staring at him.


Eden smiled with a shrug "I guess I’m just that good"


"If you’re that good then why do you still need me?" Elvis asked.


"Because I like you?" Eden smiled "Maybe that’s why I want to stay with you"


"Cut the nonsense"


"Maybe it’s not nonsense" Eden said. He had always known the theory of inserting a romantic declaration towards the other party. And he had known that this theory entails that the romantic declaration always tends to stick with them.


It always had them thinking back to those words of declaration of romantic interests while making them ponder about it even though they didn’t wish to.


It was all part of his tactics.


"Maybe I just like you so much that I want to stay with you even though I can protect myself" Eden smiled "You never know"


Elvis stared at him. The more he tried understanding Eden the more confused he got. He simply couldn’t read him or predict him at this point.


And so while he stared at Eden whose eyes were on his forehead, Elvis went further to ask him the main question. One he had wanted to ask since they came back to his chamber.


Something that weighed on his chest for awhile now "Why did you do that?"


Eden still had his eyes and hand on his forehead "Do what?"


"Why did you save me like that?"


Eden didn’t reply so Elvis asked further "Our deal didn’t stipulate you standing up for me like that, talk more about going that far to do that"


"You could have just left it. People could talk all they wanted about me and My father could whip me all he wanted. Even if I fainted, it wouldn’t have harmed you in any way. So why... Why did you have to do that?"


He was curious. Staring into Eden’s eyes as though he was searching for answers in them.


Genuine answers.
