Cardan was ready to throw up and throw down. You were just an ordinary human, a mortal, the most ordinary and boring and.....

above all, you made Cardan feel anything but anger and hatred. He would have strangled you with his own hands, but he couldn't help feeling.. devastated after hurting you. Terrible, terrible, why does he feel that way?

As much as he wanted to strangle you, he wanted to love you. Genuinely, so... humanly.

You deceived him, betrayed him. It was when he trusted you that you decided to betray him. Now he's playing your games, you, a mortal, have so much power in a place where you weren't even born, where you don't belong.

And yet... he admires you.

God, how he admires you.

Why would he need that Nicasia? It's so stupid. He doesn't like her, even though he loved her before, but... that's not it. He's so disgusted with her already. She betrayed him, broke his heart.

You've done it too, haven't you?

So why...

His lips touch the skin near your ear, his kisses trail down. Kisses are so light, like he's afraid to scare you away. His hands slide gently over your shoulders, his fingers moving down.

You don't feel it when he starts to slowly to cling to you

“And then like this?” His hands slide to cup your face in his hands, but despite his inner raging resentment, he holds you gently. You don't even want to think about what that touch means... but he continues “Do you think it'll work, {{user}}?”
