The bite was soft, but it felt strange. Akira was stunned for a moment because she had not expected Kaito to make such a bold and shameless move.
Since Akira did not react, Kaito nibbled on the sweet lower lip a little more.
Feeling the sensation of the insistent naughty lips and wicked teeth, Akira's face darkened. Was this shameless person treating her lips like an all-you-can-eat buffet?
She pushed him away and looked at his mischievous, thick-skinned face flatly. He licked his lips in satisfaction as if he was savouring the taste and imagining having a little more.
Akira had not thought of his action of biting her lips too deeply, so she was not embarrassed as they faced each other. It was not that she was too innocent or thick-skinned like Kaito. She just did not register the intimacy of his action.
However, when he licked his lips like a satisfied fox, she realised that his action could be considered a kiss.
Her ears turned a little hot and red as the immensity of what had happened hit her.
She had just allowed a strange man she did not know well to kiss her in public during an important party. The only thing she truly knew about the man was that he was a dangerous ȧssassin.
However, something in her did not want to show Kaito that she was affected by the occurrence. So, she tried to calm her unsettled heart as she continued to look at him.
"Did you enjoy yourself?" She asked flatly with expressionless eyes.
Kaito laughed a little, his eyes shining with increasing fascination at the young lady. Her responses were always so interesting. He felt proud about his keen eye. If he had not discovered her, she might have been snatched by shameless men who overestimated themselves.
"I did. The taste was quite good." He licked his lips again. "I would like to have another sample if you are not sure about my satisfaction level."
Akira resisted the heat threatening to creep to her face as felt defeated by the thickness of his skin. She could not compete with this type of person.
"What are you doing?" A cold and threatening voice spoke up.
Akira was startled. She also felt a little guilt appear in her heart at the sound of the voice and quickly separated from Kaito. Even though she had pushed his ċhėst away, his hands were still around her waist.
Fortunately, the fox did not display his obstinate behaviour. He let go of her waist and schooled his seductive expression before they both faced the speaker.
Seiji looked at the man, who had been groping his sister, with angry eyes. No good man would be acting like this towards a lady in a public garden during a major event. He was sure that Akira was being taken advantage of by a smooth-talking b*stard with a pretty face.
Hina, who was standing beside him, looked at Kaito and then Akira before nodding in approval. As expected of her goddess… She had picked a fine specimen, and she did not even hesitate to get a little frisky during the day.
"Brother, I didn't know you were coming," Akira said to the cold-faced Seiji.
"I convinced him." Hina chuckled a little in self-satisfaction.
Akira's cold eyes rested on her so-called friend. Even though she was not at fault, she was the only one to blame for the awkward situation. Hina shivered a little at the gaze.
She wanted to plead her case and expound on the struggle of finding her in the vast garden. However, she realised that an explanation would probably make things worse.
After a moment, her eyes lit up.
"Look at what I brought you." She lifted a violin case. "Now we can slap that pretentious woman's face."
Akira turned her attention back to Seiji. His cold aura seemed to have murderous intent as he faced Kaito. As for Kaito, he did not look threatened at all. Moreover, he had no sense of guilt in his demeanour.
As expected of a shameless fox…
"Brother, this is my…" She paused for a long moment before she forced out the words. "friend, Takahashi Kaito."
Kaito was amused by the lovely little lady beside him as she introduced him to the protective brother. He stretched a hand and placed it over Akira's shoulder in a friendly manner.
Naturally, the gesture irked Seiji even more.
Seeing Seiji's anger, Akira jabbed an elbow into Kaito's hard abdomen. He grunted in pain before removing his arm from her shoulder.
"How do you do, brother?" He spoke with a wide smile.
"I do not have an old little brother like you." Seiji retorted. "Doesn't an uncle like you feel shame when behaving like a teenager in broad daylight?"
Kaito laughed. "Should I call you brother-in-law then?"
Seiji was speechless. Did this man not hear the insult?
Akira felt a little sorry for her brother and jabbed her elbow into Kaito's abdomen again. He grunted in pain, but his cheerful expression did not change.
"I don't mind if you call me uncle." He looked at her with his fox eyes and chuckled with some evil intent.
Akira's ears became hot and red immediately.
No wonder everyone had failed to seduce her in the past.
Judging from her serious temperament and her cute face, everyone ȧssumed that she wanted a stable and reliable partner. So, those who approached her would always present a mȧturė and sophisticated air while hitting on Akira.
Who knew that Akira would like a rogue?
Seiji glared at Hina before turning to Akira.
"It is almost time for the picnic. Dad said we should go ahead to our gazebo. There's no need to waste time on unrelated people." Seiji did not engage Kaito anymore.
Kaito did not mind. However, he still winked at Akira as she stepped forward to join her brother and Hina.
As they walked away, Seiji turned his head to give Kaito a last threatening glance.
Unfortunately, he did not see even his shadow.
'Maybe he ran away.' He comforted himself.
