“Because you can endure it exceptionally well, even if it takes less than a second to overcome?”
Eric let out a short burst of laughter.
This woman indeed had charming aspects. No, not just charming – she was incredibly adorable.
So now, he really wanted to receive a compliment.
If she complimented him with those tempting, luscious lips of hers, he felt like he could do anything.
“So, are you complimenting me now?”
“Oh, well…”
Alicia, avoiding Eric’s gaze with a somewhat expectant tone, still had a bashful expression.
The atmosphere between them seemed to have changed somehow, making her feel a bit shy.
Maybe that’s why Eric hesitated and couldn’t bring himself to say what he wanted.
In the end, Alicia’s words didn’t come out fully.
Unnoticed, Eric’s lips touched hers, preventing her from uttering the words.
His lips, soft like whipped cream, pressed gently against Alicia’s lips, which were as elastic as jelly.
“Since you’re not doing it quickly, I have no choice but to take it.”
A low, suppressed voice, almost whispering, tickled Alicia’s ear.
She had openly acted like everyone else, got caught with such a book, and wondered if she needed to behave like a proper lady now.
After hesitating for a moment, Alicia finally opened her mouth.
“I want to compliment you more.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re so commendable, maybe…?”
As Alicia, with all her courage, uttered her seduction, Eric, who was now back to his senses, smiled with willingness.
Now she understood when to use the word ‘lovely,’ a word she thought she would never use in her lifetime.
Eric once again gently kissed Alicia’s lips, alternately touching and parting them.
Again, and again, and again. Only then did he intensify the kiss.
He tasted the sweet flavor as if savoring a thrilling dessert.
Eric, enjoying the softness between Alicia’s lips, leisurely explored the flesh inside with his tongue.
Because of Eric, who seemed to be grasping and releasing her, Alicia’s grip tightened on Eric’s shirt without her realizing.
As if receiving a signal, Eric immediately delved deeper into her mouth, holding her more firmly.
Their exchanged breaths and the touch that occurred each time grew deeper, bringing them closer.
Unable to endure it any longer, Alicia finally broke the kiss.
Eric, seemingly regretful, still couldn’t take his eyes off her lips, gently caressing them with his thumb.
Alicia’s small face, fitting in one hand, felt different now than it did a while ago, with a gentle warmth lingering on it.
Alicia, with her eyes closed, regulating her breath, slowly opened her eyes, and Eric’s face filled her field of vision.
A glimmer that hadn’t been visible a moment ago was now apparent in Eric’s eyes, filled with it.
As it was before, Alicia had no intention of behaving demurely in front of Eric.
She had no intention of avoiding it.
However, under his gaze, which seemed to penetrate without a word, Alicia, inexplicably, found herself lowering her head shyly.
But Eric didn’t allow that.
Using the hand that was brushing her lips, he lightly lifted Alicia’s chin to make her face him.
“Don’t change. Don’t act like everyone else in front of me.”
The discomfort she felt at that moment scratched at Eric’s nerves as he recalled it.
Luckily, Alicia remembered enough to firmly remind him.
“You don’t have to do such things; you’re crazy enough without it.”
His lips once again gently touched Alicia’s, who was still holding on to him.
Alicia’s hands, which had been hesitating and wandering, unknowingly gripped Eric’s sturdy shoulders.
While attaching her lips to Alicia’s, Eric playfully smiled.
“So, what do you want to do? Try something before returning that book.”
“Oh, really. You said you wouldn’t tease.”
Alicia, who had finally grabbed Eric’s shoulders, hit them with dissatisfaction.
Suppressing a burst of laughter, Eric, who had pulled away from Alicia’s pouting lips, bit them playfully.
“And what do you want to do? That book, you should return it quickly.”
“Oh, is this how you’re going to torment me?”
As Eric grumbled, Alicia raised her head.
“What are you saying? I’m doing it because Eric told me to.”
When Eric grumbled, Alicia raised her head.
“What are you saying? I’m doing it because Eric told me to.”
