Liz’s eyes widened, and almost unknowingly, I pushed her chest away.
It was a contradictory reaction to the gentle, lowered eyes, causing excitement in her plump lower lip, with dry saliva involuntarily swallowed.
Is it because the sense of alienation between her and Cain hasn’t completely disappeared?
Hersis’s gaze, which was staring at her lips, rose.
Although there was no reproach, Liz somehow felt her body stiffening.
“Sor… sorry.”
It felt like pouring cold water on a hot heat.
Giving her plenty of room and then withdrawing at the crucial moment. I was worried if he would not feel exploited.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize.”
Hersis said, wrapping Liz’s cheek with his palm. A moment when her heart was about to be relieved by his affectionate voice.
He brushed her lips with his thumb. The delicate touch was as if savoring the taste of a decision.
With each stroke, gradually, there was a feeling of digging deeper inside.
As the flesh became softer, the stimulation and tremor at the fingertips became even more vivid.
Hersis whispered.
“Liz, close your eyes.”
Even before saying that, Liz’s eyes were already half closed.
Her eyelids completely covered the sight.
The touch that had been gently stroking the innermost flesh of my lips slowly retreated.
It was at the moment of feeling regret in the lingering aftertaste.
“……!”
Lips softer and more moist than fingertips began to gently caress my lips.
‘Cain.’
Liz recalled that name. It was the sensation she felt from him.
The kiss didn’t go beyond that. It didn’t grope to explore her insides. It was all about licking or lightly nibbling the surface wrinkles of the lips, the delicate skin inside the lips.
“Now open your eyes.”
As the moist sensation gradually disappeared, from the tingling sensation at the tip of her nose, he spoke.
“How was it?”
Liz opened her eyes.
There was a man with deep eyes.
“Am I still a stranger?”
Liz shook her head.
“Can I go a bit further?”
Liz nodded. Every action was beyond her conscious control.
He chuckled as if relieved… and again, the lips overlapped.
‘Ah…!’
For a moment, Liz flinched.
The chaste kiss was over.
The lump-like sensation delving into her mouth brought a dizzying pleasure.
The sunlight penetrated through the curtains, drawing a beautiful wave pattern on the floor.
It was the beginning of a new day.
However, Liz’s consciousness was still lingering in the night before.
Lying on the bed, Liz stared blankly at the ceiling and mumbled.
“I thought I was going to die. What a kiss, so dangerously…….”
Remembering his persistent and intense senses, it was still dizzying to the point where her whole body trembled.
In the hand that wrapped around her waist to prevent her from running away, there was a thick obsession that he would never let go.
I also thought my obsession was quite impressive, but it seemed insignificant to him.
Well.
Having fought against death every day in a world where I had no allies for over a decade, it was natural that my attachment to my people was qualitatively different from that of an ordinary person.
“The problem is how scary it is from the receiving end.”
However, separate from such fears, the kiss itself… was enjoyable.
In the sensation that eerily swept through my mouth to the point where my mind became distant, I almost went all the way.
What would have happened if I had stubbornly ignored the warning in my head?
“If I had, I wouldn’t have been able to sit up like this.”
The discomfort felt from the seat was considerable.
Liz sat up. Then, she reached out and picked up the vanity mirror on the side table.
Her lips seemed to have swollen twice as much. There were also pinkish scars from biting her neck.
“Of all places, I get a wound here.”
Liz, who got up from her seat, took out a concealer from the dressing table drawer and dabbed it on the wound. After rubbing it two or three times, it was somewhat covered.
Since it was an important day today, she needed to conceal it.
Shortly after, while having breakfast and taking a walk to aid digestion, Rosa approached her with a bow.
“Ariste-nim, the engagement dress has arrived.”
Liz immediately followed Rosa to the reception room.
“I present Ariste Berium.”
The sheep supervisor politely greeted her with two assistants.
“I hope you like it.”
As Liz sat down, the sheep supervisor signaled to the assistants.
They simultaneously brought out the contents from the boxes. A white dress was growing like a tree.
“How is it? I can say it’s my masterpiece.”
The sheep supervisor asked with a tense face.
Liz responded with a bright smile.
It was a dress that elegantly revealed the shoulders, adorned with tiny diamond spangles on the chest, and the skirt spread out below the waist like a bell-line dress.
It was the dress she had desperately wished to wear since her previous life.
“Would you like to try it on once?”
The sheep supervisor asked. Liz hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.
“No. It’s okay.”

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
