“You came by yourself.”

“E…Eleo….” 

Before she could even say his name, her lips were taken. 

He had already kissed her when they took a walk in Yuter’s paradise not long ago.

His lips moved closer to hers after a clumsy confession. It was a tender, courteous kiss. Then his lips parted from hers as he begged her to tenderly open her heart to him.

Her first kiss with him was pleasurably exciting like the summer sun penetrating through the shade of the trees.

But now he was different. 

She felt her body melt as he kissed her.

Eleon placed a hand on Elysia’s head and another on Elysia’s waist. He held her tightly, coveting her lips.

She felt like her entire body was caught in a trap due to his immense strength. 

He was like a starving beast. 

He bit her lips over and over again, then dug between them. 

What was used to taste food lost its function and was wrapped around his.

“Hmm….”

Even her sweet saliva was taken by Eleon. 

He stole from her.

Eleon finally let her go a bit after violently tasting Elysia’s lips.

“I always wanted to do this.”

The thick scent of sandalwood hung on her lips and nose. 

It was her first kiss. 

Not a kiss, but a real kiss. 

She wondered if she would feel her heart being pulled out every time they hugged and kissed like this.

     Is this something lovers do every day? 

She felt her veins throb.

Eleon’s red eyes glowed in the dark as his hair shone like moonlight.

Elysia stared into those eyes as if she were possessed.

Due to her hair being scattered on the floor, she was like a shining star or a flower with spread yellow petals. 

At the moment when she calmly thought that her reflection in his eyes might seem quite mysterious, her hands lost strength as she tried to resist him.

Neither Eleon nor Elysia said anything. 

Breathing harder than usual, a brief confrontation ensued as if a search battle was being waged. 

It was Eleon who moved first. 

He gently touched her thin white neck. 

Her heart began to pound wildly as he touched her with his fingertips. He then kisses her again.

But this time it was a soft kiss, not as fierce as the previous one. 

It was different from when she felt like he was plundering her. She could clearly feel everything about Eleon. 

The scent of his body wrapped around her, and his possessiveness felt from his arms holding her tightly.

“Hmmm…” 

Both were clumsy at kissing.

     I don’t know how to do it.

Is this your first time? Like me?

「“I wanted you to give me a real kiss first.”」

Having said that, he crossed the line first. 

Elysia was amazed at what Eleon was doing. 

While she was distracted in thought, she bit Eleon’s tongue. He groaned in pain, but it subsided a little. 

Tuk…Tuk…Tuk…Tuk… 

Elysia was astonished when he put his hand behind her back and unbuttoned her clothes.

“….”

When Elysia leaned in and tried to resist, Eleon pressed her body against his shoulder and quickly pulled the dress down.

“Wa… wait….”

Her body shivered as the cold air touched her bare shoulders. 

Laying under Eleon’s eyes in a thin chemise and only a corset, her face burned with embarrassment. 

Eleon didn’t look like the usual him. 

Eleon would have treated her with so much care. 

He was always courteous like a gentleman. He wouldn’t be able to cross the line. 

He would never do anything Elysia hated.

She didn’t think that he was going to force her even if she asked him to quit. 

Now, Eleon slowly looked at her slender arms, exposed collarbone, and chest, thinking about where to start eating. 

Elysia was his prey. 

The prey that came to him on its own, as he said.

Elysia felt like she was going to cry as the anxiety from before washed over her again. 

However, as if he had made up his mind, Eleon took Elysia’s hand and pulled her towards him kissing her fingers first. 

One finger after another.

Knuckle after Knuckle of her slender fingers. 

Elysia’s body trembled as he kissed her between her fingers tasting every little thing about her.

“Uh.”

Eleon pressed his lips against her palm. 

His lips, which lightly touched her hand even with her gloves on, stayed in her soft, callus-free palm for a while. Then he opened his mouth and bit her hand gently. 

He stared intently at her reaction. 

Seeing his red eyes that seemed to pierce through Elysia’s soul, she seemed to sink into a far-off mud. 

He wasn’t restraining her body like before, nor was she losing her mind as he kissed her frantically. 

But her body had no more strength.

Although he was holding her hand, all her nerves were focused on the spot where Eleon was touching. 

Eleon’s lips licked the soft white skin of her wrist, then he began to kiss her elbows, arms, and armpits.

“Ah, there.”

Elysia’s face turned red as Eleon started kissing her neck.

“That’s…. That’s enough.”

“I haven’t done anything yet.”

“What.”

     What do you mean you haven’t done anything! Then, what have you done so far!

Eleon kissed her again as if he was annoyed by her chattering. 

She was out of breath again. 

Elysia fluttered like a fish being pulled out of the water because of the lack of air.

But Eleon ate her again. 

He seemed more relaxed, unlike his wild side which took her like a hungry beast that was slowly eating her as if she was a small animal that he didn’t want to let go of, and rolled her from side to side. 

Elysia was the only one who was distracted as she was frantically on the defensive. 

She closed her eyes. 

Then Eleon seemed to fill her world. 

He was everywhere. She could feel him with her nose, ears, and fingertips. 

His hand traveled all over her body where the air touched her bare skin.

As if something was missing, he moved up and down Elysia’s curves.

And as if on some kind of signal, their deeply entangled breath becomes hot and sweet.

It was so sweet that she was confused as to whether it was the part of him she was biting into or the unripe sugar cane stem in early summer.

“Ahh.”

Eleon’s eyes widened as he looked at her, breathing heavily. 

It was Elysia’s mistake for huddling to the side, covering herself with her arms as a way to avoid him. 

However, the beast, who had been trying to figure out where to start biting the prey, quickly moved his hand. 

Pop

The corset lace was untied. 

It was a price for breaking one of the basic rules of defense, you must not show your back to the enemy. 

As the lace loosened, crushed by the corset, her naked body was disturbed by gravity.

“Ah.”

As Elysia panicked in embarrassment, Eleon took off her corset and put it away. 

Her body was exposed under the thin chemise.

Suddenly, where the corset was on her body felt empty.

What had been covering her body as hard as an armor disappeared. She felt her stomach exposed in front of the beast that had bared its teeth at her. 

Eleon swept through Elysia like a big beast. 

Just like a wild beast digging up a pile of autumn leaves in a forest. 

Just like an animal looking for food hidden under a pile of white snow on a snowy winter field. 

Eleon looked so lewd as he rubbed his black hair under Elysia’s chin, and with the tip of his nose and his lips, he caressed her soft skin hidden under her chemise. 

Elysia stared at him blankly. 

She felt a fire burning somewhere inside her. 

Every time Eleon’s breath touched her skin, her body grew hotter.

Since Eleon had found a part of her that he liked, he stayed there for a long time.

A strange sound came out of her mouth. 

Elysia was startled and covered her mouth with her hand. 

As if he was displeased with it, Eleon bit Elysia’s lips.

Elysia narrowed her eyes when Eleon moved away from her.

“Look at me properly.”

He said as he took off his shirt. 

He was completely packed with muscles from his slender waist to his firm chest.

She closed her eyes trembling with confusion.

Her tightly closed eyes were burning.

Elysia was in tears. 

Once the emotions began to rise, there was no turning back and they flowed out of her body like tears.

“Why? Why are you crying?”

Eleon lowered his voice.

“Do you hate me that much?”

Elysia shook her head.

“No, it’s not like that.”

Eleon wiped away her tears. 

She wrapped her white arms around his neck. 

She put all her weight on him and accidentally pushed him towards herself.

Eleon’s body stiffened as Elysia suddenly hugged him.

“What..what a relief.”

“What?”

“Your…your eyes…they…they’re fine.”

Hot tears welled up in Elysia’s eyes.

“Because of me. I thought you lost your sight because of me.”

She wanted to protect him. 

She wanted to see Eleon happy. 

Surely, he will be happy because he is the main lead of the novel.

She would be happy just watching him from the sidelines if he was happy.

Elysia couldn’t bear to see Eleon feel unhappy because of her. 

She couldn’t tolerate a person’s happiness deviating from the original path because of her.

And yet, she was constantly tempted. 

She thought that holding his hand would make her happy. 

What on earth is that happiness?

Was it really there somewhere? 

Do we have to worry so much about happiness that we don’t know whether it exists somewhere or not, wrapped up in a prettier way to prevent people from giving up on life every day? 

Having hurt Eleon so much?

She felt more at ease when she let him do as he pleases. 

She seemed willing to give in if that was what he wanted or if Eleon wanted her.

Could this be Elysia’s happiness?

If she thinks she can give Eleon this much…..

Is it love?

Elysia let go of him. 

His red eyes blinked in embarrassment. 

Elysia tried to smile despite her shyness.

“It’s a relief.”

She sincerely thought so.

“It’s…it’s true that I came here on my own.”

Her lips trembled a bit.

“I…. I mean…”

As Eleon wishes. 

Just as he imagined. 

     I’m fine though. But why am I crying? 

Suddenly, my body shook.

     ……. It’s possible because it’s my first time.

“Sob…..”

It was cold. 

Even on a summer night, the floor was cold. 

Tears welled up in Elysia’s eyes, and as she blinked, the tears streamed from her eyes to her ears. 

Eleon picked up his shirt from the floor and covered Elysia’s body. 

He cautiously held her in his arms and sighed.

“I’m sorry.”

“Sob sob.”

“It’s my fault. Okay?”

As he hugged her comfortably and caressed her back, Elysia cried even more.

“I…. I was just surprised.”

“I see. It’s my fault.”

Eleon whispered in her ear.

“Don’t cry. Elysia.”
