"Do you know who broke my eyes?"

"A maid just like you."

A hand cupped her cheek, then passed over her chin and grabbed her neck. She coughed raggedly as her breathing was squeezed out.

Because of her father’s embezzlement of a national treasure, she lost her noble status overnight and became a maid at the royal palace.

“If you tell me to stop… I won’t push it.”

Soon the distance between them slowly shrunk, enough for their lips to touch. The light mint scent coining from him tickled Ayla’s nose. As Theon’s unusually rough breath caressed her forehead, her whole body tensed up, holding her gasp.

“I wish you would look at me.”

“…”

“If you don’t like it, I will stop.”

Her reason was telling her to refuse him. But under the control of Theon’s voice, asking for her permission as if taming her, the words hardly came out. “I do not… hate it.” <<less
