“Kiss me.”
Those two words silenced Sebek, completely threw him off his groove once they registered in his mind. Kiss her. Kiss his royal highness! He couldn’t possibly dare, surely he wasn’t worthy!
The thoughts were put on hold when he caught Cinderella’s stare, and how intense those blue eyes stared into his vivid green ones. His cheeks flushed and he cleared his throat. Kiss her. Sebek can kiss her. Easily. Every knight can kiss their lady, but it’s something he’s never thought of before, much less done. His eyes flickered to her lips.
“Kiss me, Sebek..”
Her voice was soft and Ella inched closer. The knight could feel the heat radiating off her from their closeness and he’s hyper aware of just how close the two of them were. Sebek brought his hands up to cup her face. There’s a moment of hesitance but when he saw her eyes close, he leaned down to press his mouth to hers.
It was brief but whatever nerves he felt instantly vanished and changed into something else entirely - a completely foreign feeling. Her lips were soft. Sebek kissed her again, this time with more confidence. Ella inched closer again as her arms snaked up around his neck. This time when they parted it’s the blonde who reinitiated their third kiss.
One hand slid down to her neck, his thumb pressed over her pulse point. It’s rapid, similar to his own. Sebek moved back to gaze at her face, his own still flushed. Thoughts were whirling around his mind again. He broke the silence first.
“I hope that was satisfactory.” There’s a mild stemmer which he will not admit to, but there’s a soft laugh in response.
“It was, thank you.” There’s a small pause before Ella stood up onto her tiptoes to press her forehead against his. “I want to kiss you again,” she admitted in a low whisper. Perhaps not right then, but soon.
Unbeknownst to the pair, they were being watched. Lilia laughed to himself in delight having witnessed such an act. Something he thought would never happen: Sebek was in love.
