Chapter 21

Growing Feelings (13)

Cecil looked at Rowena with wide eyes.

“You told me not to do anything.”

“Can I?”

He asked her with eyes burning with passion. Rowena hesitated. She wanted it done, but she was afraid to say it out loud.

So instead of answering, she took courage. She gently licked the gap between Cecil’s lips, then his lips opened to let her in. Rowena carefully pushed her tongue into his mouth, and a fretful groan leaked out.

She was pleased with that, knowing that she was the one who made Cecil fret.

Looking at Rowena with anxious eyes, Cecil seemed to be waiting patiently for fear that she might run away.

Can I really do whatever I want?

She wanted to kiss Cecil. She couldn’t tell if she just wanted to kiss or touch him. However, she didn’t think she hated him, and she thought it wouldn’t matter if she came into contact with him more at this rate.

“Um…”

Rowena’s body leaned toward Cecil. Cecil breathed a low sigh as his slender arm went around her shoulder and his slender body leaned against her chest.

A careful touch gently wrapped around Rowena’s waist. He wrapped her body, moving slowly as if he were surrounding a small bird that would run away if he moved suddenly.

Rowena didn’t even notice because she was licking Cecil’s mouth. She was kissing the crown prince with her eyes closed and her face red, without daring to look him in the eyes.

Oh, my God.

It was just a little, but every time Rowena’s tongue licked his mouth, the heat rose in her stomach.

It was only today that she found it so hard to endure. Cecil gasped while swallowing her lips and tongue and holding back his desire to indulge until tears gathered in his eyes.

He didn’t even know why he was so excited about this petty kiss. The way Rowena touched him, the way her lips clasped and her body nestled, all ignited his passion.

“Rowena…”

When Rowena’s lips finally fell, Cecil purred lowly, flashing an insidious look. The mere sight of Rowena’s lips glistening with his saliva made him dizzy.

He was dying to have her. He had been worried that the time until the engagement was too short, but now it was the opposite.

He wanted to take Rowena to the palace like this.

“Can I kiss you?”

He thought he would kneel before her and beg if she said no.

Don’t say no. Please don’t say no.

Even the moment Rowena hesitated, his heart felt crushed.

“You can, hmph!”

Cecil’s lips pressed down on Rowena as if they were bumping into each other. It was a different, more violent, and impatient kiss than before, but she didn’t hate it at all, perhaps because of the previous touch. Rather, her heart was beating hastily.

Cecil seemed to want her so much it made him impatient. He pushed her and pressed her body against the carriage wall, and Rowena did nothing but hold Cecil’s hem. Cecil’s tongue entered through the gap in her open lip.

“Hm… ugh, mhm! Heum…”

Suck, kiss.

It was embarrassing to hear the sucking sounds, but Rowena enjoyed the moment as she felt a pleasant tremor spread through her body.

The hand that held the hem of his waistband was wrapped around his waist. Cecil’s head seemed to spin with joy.

He craved Rowena’s lips, which were sandwiched between him and the carriage, and caressed her flushed cheeks with his fingertips.

“Ha… Rowena…”

He thought it would have been nice if they had met earlier and he held this lovely body to the fullest. It was such a shame that he couldn’t meet her before.

Maybe that’s why it was so hard to take off his lips, but they were getting closer to their destination. In the first place, they were just going from one place to another on a street lined with costume rooms, so it was not going to take long.

When he looked up, he saw Rowena breathing heavily and leaning her back against the carriage wall. Cecil inadvertently let out a loud growl.

Rowena reached out and touched his neck as if it were strange. It was an involuntary act.

But she removed her hand in surprise at her rudeness. Cecil grabbed her wrist and sent an intense look her way.

“You can touch anywhere, anytime. I’ll allow it.”

Rowena pulled out her hand without saying a word. She felt the carriage come to a standstill, then she took Cecil by the hand and rose.

Why aren’t they coming out?

His attitude toward Rowena much lessened the fear of the crown prince. Still, he was a scary opponent, but they expected Rowena to do something about it. The crown prince must have liked Rowena very much.

That carriage had been suspicious for a while. When did he arrive in front of the dressing room and why was it quiet back then?
