Chapter 66

When she opened her eyes, it was still dark.

Dana, who just woke up, couldn’t tell whether this moment was a dream or reality. She still felt the fear vividly.

She raised her hand high and looked at it in front of her eyes, then slowly took it to her neck and pressed against it.

“Uh…”

She tightened her grip and felt pain, but did not relax her hand.

By the time she felt like she was falling asleep again as she was losing her mind, someone grabbed Dana’s hand tightly and removed it from her neck.

“What are you doing?”

“Hah…”

Dana’s blurred vision gradually returned and looked at him. His face was dimly reflected in the moonlight.

“…Leon.”

“Do you want to die?”

“No, that’s not it…”

She was going to explain something, but suddenly her body trembled and tears formed. The relief of being alive overcame her.

Leon, who was angry at her, suddenly sat on the bed embarrassed when she showed tears. Dana slid into his arms.

“I had a scary dream.”

“It’s just that?”

“I could feel someone choking me so vividly…”

Leon stayed still and listened to her to see if he could figure something out.

“I’m dead as it is. I was definitely dead, but my consciousness was alive. I felt the pain as it was.”

Dana took a breath and shrugged her shoulders to see if she was still scared. Then a rough touch lingered and stroked Dana’s back.

“I’m… Leon. Was I strangled by someone and abandoned in the mountains? It’s like that, right?”

The frightened blue eyes glistened as they looked at Leon. Dana grabbed Leon’s hem tightly and stuck closer to him.

“Then he would try to kill me again if he knew I was alive. I… I don’t even know who that person is. Why did I have to die…”

He thought he expected this reaction to some extent when he brought it up. Leon felt responsible and hugged Dana more tightly and patted her.

“Dana.”

Dana did not bother to scold Leon when he called her by this name. Even though she once acted thinking that she was playing the role of Dana, the name felt more familiar than Sarah.

“It’s okay, Dana. It’s okay, so look at me.”

Her blue eyes in the white moonlight looked up at him.

“If I… It’s because I did it wrong. What if I did something wrong to be killed?”

“No one can touch you. Whoever it is, for whatever reason.”

Leon wrapped his hands around Dana’s cheek and looked closely into her eyes. He placed his forehead and tip of his nose against hers, then he spoke in a low voice.

He didn’t intend to let her go. He didn’t intend to let anyone touch her.

Even if Dana was a secret killer, or if it was the emperor who was after her.

Before that, it was embarrassing to call it “love”, and he defined it as a crazy obsession or possessive desire.

So he thought it wouldn’t matter if she was broken but by his side. That thought had not changed even now.

However, every time she blinked her wet eyelashes, tears that had accumulated flowed down.

Looking at it, Leon felt an unfamiliar sensation somewhere in his chest. So he approached Dana without realizing it, holding her cheeks, and carefully wiped away her tears with his lips.

As if to deal with the broken glass, he kissed her cheeks, eyes, and forehead and came down on the tip of her nose.

“Oh.”

When he bit the tip of her nose slightly, she shrank slightly and let out a whimper. He almost laughed because it was lovely.

Alas, it was unfamiliar as expected, but there was no way to explain this except for the word lovely.

Leon sighed silently.

“Le… Ah… Yeah…”

The moment Dana felt it and tried to say something, their lips gently overlapped.

Dana, a little surprised, blinked and gently closed her eyes. And she hung her arms around Leon’s large shoulder and back.

Her dry lips were moistened and held in his mouth. It was quite different from the rough and blind kisses so far.

Leon licked her lips with his tongue and slightly sucked in her lower lip. Then the thick lips became a little more swollen and soft.

He slowly put his soft tongue between them. As if it was about to go in or not, his tongue moving between her lips began to grow anxious.

Dana hugged his neck harder, sticking her tongue forward a little. The tip of her tongue touched the tip of his tongue repeatedly and pushed and pulled.

A hand wrapped around Dana’s cheek and went to her ear, it swept her earlobes and fiddled with it. At the same time, she gasped.

“Whew…”

It wasn’t until his tongue tingled that he let go, but this time he went deep. His hand, fiddling with her ears, climbed up the back of the neck and he dug his fingers between her hair.

The sensation rubbing her scalp gave her goosebumps, and she bit Leon’s tongue in her mouth.

Oh, my. What should I do?

Dana didn’t know what to do inside, but Leon just flinched a little, and the kiss continued.

Leon flinched a little, but she felt sorry for him because she felt the fishy taste of blood in his saliva.

Dana touched the wound as gently as possible, mixing her tongue with his.

Then little by little, Leon’s weight seemed to come upon her, and he slowly laid her on the bed, wrapping his hand around Dana’s head.

His lips fell and Dana opened her eyes and glanced up at him.

Leon’s eyes burned seriously with passion.

The moonlight reflected from his black hair to his sharp jawline and formed on his shiny red lips. And Dana looked at him as if possessed.

Despite being a man, he was very beautiful.
