Piere grasped Lumi's small face, his green eyes uninterestedly staring into her anxious gaze. "Don't try to teach me to love you. Because what you want will never happen, do you understand me?"

Stop calling my name," he commanded with authority. "I-I understand, Piere," Lumi answered nervously, causing Piere to smirk and plant light kisses on her lips.
