Soon, the door opened with a soft click, and Merem met eyes with Leonarda in a light slip.

In attire much lighter than usual, he fidgeted to find a place to focus his gaze before finally shutting his eyes tightly.

“Oh, my. You’re cute.”

“Why are your clothes so revealing?”

“Should I show you what’s really revealing?”

No, please no.

Ignoring Merem’s vehement denial, Leonarda grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.

Thud.

The sound of the door closing came from behind.

Passing through the dimly lit living room and another door, the most intimate place in the Hwanghu Palace was revealed.

Merem, caught off guard by Leonarda’s boldly revealing attire he had never dared to imagine, belatedly noticed the second door closing.

“Love me, whenever you want to tease.”

Leonarda softly smiled.

Staring blankly at her breathtaking beauty, he suddenly realized he was trapped between her thin arms.

She had confined him by the door.

In the secluded room where nobody was present, being this close, his stomach tickled uncomfortably.

“Do I need to close my eyes?”

In the sweet voice, Merem lowered his eyelids without saying a word.

Is this a dream?

It must be a dream.

Or perhaps an illusion.

Whether it was one or the other, it couldn’t be reality.

Denying reality in such a way, the softest petal-like thing in the world touched his lips.

Then, it separated so quickly that Merem blinked his eyes in disappointment.

“Do it again.”

“Again?”

“I didn’t touch you.”

As Leonarda playfully insisted, a mischievous smile spread across her lips.

“Then this time, you try.”

In the atmosphere that had subtly softened, a tingling flame ignited.

With a gaze as dark as the night, Merem looked down at Leonarda.

Her eyes shining like stars, her beautiful lips, a mixture of anticipation and interest on her face.

And then, he realized.

Leonarda had partially opened her heart to him.

!

In that moment, Merem lifted Leonarda’s waist in a swift motion.

He didn’t need to go all the way, but there was no need to endure this feeling.

This was the moment she allowed, after all.

They couldn’t resist running towards each other without holding back, not even considering the distance that had once existed, as lips met and breaths mingled.

In the intensity of the passionate kiss, feeling Leonarda’s breath quicken, Merem briefly pulled away.

However, as soon as he laid her on the bed, he immediately resumed the kiss.

As if the few seconds apart were too regretful, Merem devoted his entire being to expressing his love to her.

Wishing this permitted moment would last forever.

“Well, well. Why are you so good at this?”

Meanwhile, I, Cha, was taken aback by the unexpected situation.
Honestly, I never expected Merem to be good at kissing. Knowing he had never been in a relationship with anyone, I anticipated him to be very inexperienced.

So, in my own way, I was willing to teach him what kissing was like…

‘Ha, what is this? It’s innate.’

It wasn’t the feeling of rushing in as if to devour the lips.

Quickly adapting, he ignited the ember buried within me.

Unknowingly entrusting myself to Merem’s lead, I felt my insides fill with vitality, and I arched my waist.

‘Ah, it’s hot.’

The masculine energy within me was being ignited by his vigor.

Due to the masculine energy, my once cold interior was now warming up.

Suddenly breaking the kiss, Merem looked down at me from above.

I let out a satisfied sigh at the sound of a well-raised beast growling.

A beautiful monster that followed only me.

Unconsciously, my Merem, now turned into a man.

A shiver ran through me, and the skin tingled. His aura was so intense that it set the atmosphere in the bedroom ablaze.

Subtly lifting my legs, I brushed against his thigh.

In response, Merem, who seemed to have lost half of his sanity, twitched noticeably.

Embracing his waist with my legs, I gently lifted his chin and whispered.

“Want to continue?”

“……!!!”

Merem bit down hard on his lower lip, which had turned red down to his throat.

I could read the answer clearly in his hesitation, but some things couldn’t be given away all at once.

Caressing Merem’s raven-black hair, I patiently waited for him to settle down.

Of course, it wasn’t easy, and the air gradually became thicker.

“Wait, I’ll shower and come back.”

“You haven’t showered yet?”

“No, I did, but I’ll add some cold water and be back.”

I wanted to play more tricks, but seeing how vulnerable Merem was, I should let him go now.

I chuckled and sent him off.

When was the last time I laughed so heartily?

“Oh, lips are swollen.”

Perhaps women are more comfortable in situations like this than men.

While waiting for Merem to add cold water somewhere and return, I gently touched my lower lip.

Both I and Merem momentarily lost our senses.

That was for sure.

I couldn’t help but think, ‘If it feels this good with just this, what should I do from now on?’

I had been trying to keep my distance from Merem all this time, thinking something like this might happen.

“Let’s play chess.”
