“Why am I surprised?”

What sort of imagination is she having about me?

I asked, tilting my head.

“If I were to express in words what I want to do to you… Zelda, you might just run away from here.”

Feeling embarrassed, I brushed my hand against my throat.

“I’ve thought about the things I want to do with you, but I haven’t done any of them yet. However, I plan on doing one of them today.”

“Is that… so?”

“That just now, was that a question, not a consent? If you hadn’t raised your tone at the end, I would have kissed you.”

“……”

“You have a strange ability to make the Emperor cautious… huh?”

Laughing, I pressed my lips hard against his.

It was an action I had taken unknowingly.

I could only imagine how wide his blue eyes were.

I was the first to intrude between his surprised, still lips.

The Emperor, who had been ambushed with a kiss.

The lips that were teasing me a moment ago were motionless, perhaps out of surprise.

I acted according to my feelings without hesitation.

Kissing doesn’t require manners, it’s quite convenient.

I didn’t have to worry about his feelings, there were no others watching, it was a peaceful thing to just follow my emotions and kiss.

Apart from my heart beating, that is.

My lips felt lost, like being swept up in rough waves in the middle of the sea.

“Ah, Zelda!”

I was the one who first laid him down on the bed.

Rinel looked quite surprised when I pushed his shoulder and took over.

But he followed me obediently, like a person without joints.

I calmly started unbuttoning his shirt, but out of frustration, I pulled the shirt over his head and took it off.

My hands, unlike my voice that usually hesitated to give him the answers he wanted, were very quick.

It turns out, I am faster with my body than words.

As I leaned in again, his enchanting appearance filled my vision.

His chest muscles, solid like a fortress, were rising and falling heavily, dizzying my sight.

What did I just do?

Looking down at his body, stripped of the top, my reason returned belatedly.

But the problem was, I couldn’t stop here.

No, I didn’t want to stop.

Our lips had been apart for a few seconds while taking off the shirt.

He seemed anxious, like a person who missed a boat he should have boarded.

Our faces came close again.

“I’m going crazy, really.”

Rinel’s low voice barely escaped between our lips.

And his next words didn’t make it out of his mouth.

Rinel’s breath sounded like a pleasant song to my ears.

He parted his lips and grabbed my hand.

“Feel it.”

He put my hand over his heart and looked directly into my eyes.

As his heartbeat was transmitted directly to my palm, my whole body seemed to vibrate.

Adding my own heartbeat, the vibration got stronger.

I even thought that our hearts, beating and pounding, might not be easily caught if they burst out.

“Rinel, I think my heart is about to jump out of my mouth.”

“That’s not good.”

He responded seriously to my silly confession.

This ridiculous conversation soon turned into action.

“Let’s send the heart back to its place.”

Rinel pulled me towards him and started kissing again.

It felt like dancing at a festival.

“Do you know how serious the crime is to make the emperor look like this……”

Before his words could fall, our positions were swapped in an instant.

“Let me show you.”

Rinel whispered, looking down at me.

At his words, every nerve in my body started to anticipate.

His grip around me was as fierce as it was relentless.

I wanted to ask if it was okay to kiss this combatively, but despite his rough movements, the sensations were extremely gentle.

Our positions changed, but the desire pouring out from our eyes remained the same.

“I’m curious about how serious that crime is?”

I asked rather audaciously.

“Is this a provocation?”

“Can you call it temptation?”

“Dressed up like this?”

Rinel caught the hem of my dress and flicked it discontentedly.

Despite his tantrum, I found it amusing.

“I’m wearing the lightest dress?”

“Sounds planned?”

“So, are you falling for it?”

“What? It’s been a while since you’ve fallen over. What are you talking about?”

Rinel spoke as if he were incredulous.

I wonder when it started.

I felt like I had become addicted to this man.

His deep, serious voice and the jokes he told in it somehow became a great pleasure to me.

“Really, did you fall over?”

“Did you really not know?”

When I burst into laughter, he sternly spoke to me in a deliberately more serious tone.

“My heart has already fallen, but why is there no progress at all with my body? What do you think about this situation?”

“It’s sad.”

“Let’s deal with this dress before you get any sadder.”

He tried to pull down the sleeve of my dress that was draped over my shoulder line.

“Damn it, can’t they make the dress a bit looser? What’s clinging to the skin like this?”

I couldn’t stop laughing or help him with his serious look.

“This isn’t some kind of new torture device, is it?”

As he examined my dress in various ways,

Rip!
