Tea Party and Lorschel (17)

“……”

Roelin sneaked away as she looked all around her.

The familiar view of the bedroom had caught her eye. She slept on this bed a little while ago, so there was nothing different in the meantime.

But why?

What made her feel awkward and unfamiliar even though it was not an unfamiliar room at all.

Roelin looked around once again and lowered her head as she felt her face was burning with the gaze that she could feel above her head.

The owner of that gaze was none other than Kergel himself. He had not said a word until now, even after he carried her into the bedroom and sat her on the bed.

He was just standing in front of Roelin and looking downwards from the top of her head.

“……hmm.”

Roelin coughed awkwardly and gulped down. Then, she grabbed the innocent bed sheet tightly before letting it go repeatedly.

While the traces that she had left on the crumpled sheet were increasing, Kergel suddenly fell on one knee and sat in front of Roelin. Roelin looked up in embarrassment at his sudden action.

Her eyes immediately met with the golden eyes that were straight looking at her.

She swallowed once again and grabbed the sheet tightly. It was because the gaze of the man who looked downwards at her was now staring at her and it had been similar to her own, but no, below her instead.

It was just a change in eye level, but it brought another sense of awkwardness.

“Why would you sit like that—hurry and get up……”

“Roelin.”

As soon as Roelin tried to smile and spoke in an awkward manner, Kergel called out her name in a low voice. Her lips trembled at the voice that was calling out to her. She could see at a single glance that he was all nervous.

Normally, he would have joked around with her or played some light tricks to ease the tension.

But right now, it was very different.

“…….”

Roelin couldn’t look straight at him as she lowered her head. Then, Kergel reached out and took her hand. His fingertips were also trembling slightly.

It was just their body temperature that had been in contact, but the heat was delivered. She didn’t even know where the heat had come from.

“……Roelin.”

Kergel called out her name once again. Roelin lowered her head and hesitated before she slowly raised her head.

She encountered a golden gaze that was looking straight at herself. She breathed in while feeling her pounding heart. Then, Kergel applied a little more force to Roelin’s hand and soon lowered his head.

“……!”

Roelin was surprised by the touch of his lips that were brushing against the back of her hand and tried to withdraw her hand that he had caught. But Kergel didn’t let her go at all.

Rather, he kissed not only the back of her hand but also right till the end of each finger.

Every finger was absolutely so lovely.

As if even a little nail had been so very precious.

And…… like he wanted to own it all perfectly.

His persistent kisses, which felt affectionate and deeply possessive, made her feel that a sense of numbness was rising from her fingertips.

The kiss, which started from the tip of her finger, began to rise little by little upwards. His lips eventually landed on her wrist, past the back of her hand and slowly on the inside of her elbow, the nook of it.

Roelin’s body then lay back unconsciously. Then Kergel, who was sitting on one knee in front of her, rose up and climbed onto the bed as he put his own weight upon her.

Roelin’s face turned red when another person’s heavy weight was suddenly placed on top of her body. She had never experienced it before, but it didn’t mean that she wasn’t aware of what was going to happen soon.

“Hah…”

The tension, excitement and the slowly rising heat leaked out of her as well.

Then, Kergel caressed Roelin’s hair with his hands, kissed it before he slowly wrapped her cheek.

“Roelin.”

“……”

He called out to her name for the third time as if he had already forgotten all the other words. It would have said that she was not so much different herself.

……She couldn’t say anything as if she was stuck either.

Roelin couldn’t easily bring it up and just looked at him instead. She saw the heat that was burning deep inside the man’s gaze that was staring at her fondly.

Also, she could feel the passion that was hidden in the warmth of the man who was stroking her cheek.

It was all too much for her.

“Kergel.”

Roelin stretched out her arms while calling out his name. She could see why Kergel called out her name over and over again, just like his own. She could also guess why she couldn’t say anything too.

Because it was utterly hard to express in words.

It was too deep for just a few words.

She put her arm around Kergel’s neck. Then, as Kergel responded, he hugged Roelin’s back of the head along with her behind.

Their lips eventually overlapped. Then, she began to share her hot breath and body temperature as well.

The moonlight settled gently upon the two people on the bed.

The night that didn’t want to come to an end had just begun.
