Life Is Good, I Can't Complain (c)

"Hang on a minute there!" She cried, scooting closer to him for a reason she couldn't explain.

"I was young and naive. I didn't really know him back then, and I just thought he was the most handsome gentleman I'd ever seen. But I caught on quickly, you see, and didn't let him do more than kiss me."

[Specs]

"Oh that's good," said Ryan sarcastically. "You just let his lips touch yours as if it were nothing! Westcliff's a dog and he'll do anything to get a girl close to him. It's just too bad you let him do that 'cause you deserve so much better!"

He froze, realizing what he just said. It was true that he hated Lord Westcliff but he didn't think he'd care this much about a kiss between the two of them!

"Ryan, it was just a kiss. I've kissed quite a few men in the past couple years. Good lord, what's wrong with you?" She murmured that last part, though she was quite sincere. Why was he so worked up over one kiss that happened over two years ago?

[Specs]

"It's just..." he started, trying to look for the right word. "Gross. That's all. I want to wash my ears with what I just heard."

He wondered whether he covered it up pretty well. Where was this feeling of anger and jealousy coming from?

A light bulb went off above Lillian's head.

"...Are you jealous?"

[Specs]

"Me?" he said, pointing at himself. "Jealous? Pfft, no! It just disgusts me to hear what you've been up to when you were 'young and naive'."

He huffed as he adjusted his jacket. "I bet it wasn't even a good kiss," he muttered under his breath.

"Uh, no, it wasn't. I told you that."

Ryan was way too confusing.

"Actually, only Lord Northam's kiss has been enjoyable."

[Specs]

Ryan felt his jaw tighten. It was bothering him that he heard this information from Lillian yet he didn't know why.

"Well," he said sternly after a couple of minutes. "It's good to know you have something to compare it to."

"His touch was so gentle, yet his hold made me feel so secure. And his lips were the perfect texture; not too dry but not too sloppy. Just right."

...Lillian just went there. On purpose, of course.

[Specs]

((HAHAH I love this))

Ryan looked at her with daggers in his eyes.

"I just remembered I have a very important meeting with my brother," he said, fixing himself as he stood up. "Maybe you should save your stories for your girl friends."

Lillian stood up, as well, stepping up close to him.

"Just admit it. You're jealous. And you want to kiss me." She looked at him as if she were daring him to kiss her.

[Specs]

"Why should I when your lips touched so many others?" he said, disgusted. "It's not worth it."

Of course, he would've wanted to do nothing else other than pull her closer and show her what a kiss is supposed to be but he wasn't about to risk it out in the open for everyone to see.

Before either of them could do anything about it, Lillian boldly closed the distance between them and kissed him. But only briefly.

"I'm calling your bluff, Mr. Lane." She whispered, her face still just inches away from his.

[Specs]

Her kiss was soft and inviting, causing Ryan's knees to almost buckle. Then again, he wasn't ready to return it with such intensity considering she caught him off guard.

"You didn't warn me," he smirked. "Now, that was just average. It could've been better."

[Tag Along]

No matter how badly Lillian wanted to brag about her being right, her urge to kiss him again was even worse.

She put a hand on the back of his neck and kissed him again, her lips soft and pliant against his.
