Chapter 108 - I WILL TEACH YOU LOVE

"...No woman ever looked at me, in the same way, knowing I killed people," Arthur confessed.

'Out of all women, am I the only one who cared for him?' she wondered although it was hard to believe. She looked at him and asked,  "Then, does this mean they never took care of you when you were injured?"

Arthur truthfully answered, "Usually, I don't show it when I'm sick. But, it is inevitable to get injured while saving some of them. They fled in fear. They shouted and called me a monster who kills people."

"You are not a monster. If you didn't kill those people, those people would have killed you and those women. You had to do it to survive. But, killing people for self-defense isn't a sin. I wish you never had to do it. You saved me too. You had to kill people because of me. I will bear that sin with you. No, I will bear all the sins if you hurt others in order to save me," her voice was firm as she swore.

As usual, her words never ceased to amaze him. Other times, he would chuckle and tease her about it. This time, he couldn't make fun of her. He cupped her face and gazed at her deeply. Then, he moved closer and pressed his lips against her temple. Afterward, his lips trailed down to her cheek and neck.

Veronica shuddered. Most of the time, she was kissed by him. However, this time he was being quite bold. She pushed him on the chest. "Wait. We shouldn't do this. We are not going out."

"Then, let's start dating." Arthur was quick to suggest.

"We must not!" Veronica denied instantly.

Arthur was puzzled. "'We must not'? Why?"

Veronica expressed her worry, "Because you are treating me like those women. I won't go out with you until I confirm your feelings for me."

"I'm very serious. This is the first time I confessed to someone and I'm ready to chase her skirt. But the woman I like wants to push me away. My heart hurts." Arthur had a pained expression on. While speaking, he pressed his hand on his chest as if his heart was truly in pain.

His sorrowful voice gave her a heartache. "...Then, we can become a couple."

Arthur controlled his laughter. He thought maybe after being betrayed by someone she knew, she would have some self-awareness. To think she didn't change and believed in him without a doubt, didn't come as a surprise anymore.

"Then, let's start kissing," Arthur said, moving his head to taste her lips.

However, Veronica strongly refused, "No! We can't do any kissing, missing, touching unless we are married." Her face was flushing as she spoke.

"Married?" Arthur blinked. "Who said we can't do any kissing, missing, and touching before getting married?" he questioned her nonchalantly as he couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"But…" Veronica averted her eyes. Her face was turning reddish. She mumbled softly, "...If we do this, we might cross the line which we shouldn't be doing before marriage. I'm scared."

This time, Arthur burst into laughter. He couldn't hold it anymore. He laughed for a while and noticed that she had become embarrassed due to his laughter. She thought he was making fun of her.

Arthur calmed down and did his best to ease her concern, "That's what you are worried about? You have a well-educated person like me. What you can do after marriage and what you can do after falling in love, I will teach you all."

"...Will you…?" Veronica's pair of innocent, curious eyes stared at him. These eyes were half embarrassed and half anticipating what would happen next. 

She wanted to be taught and wished to be loved. However, she was shy and cautious since she didn't want to end up like those women he left before.

Arthur's mouth and throat became dry. Her innocent eyes were too much for his heart. He leaned closer and whispered in a husky voice, "Yes, I will teach you from the beginning. Now, open your mouth. Let me kiss your sweet lips."

Veronica seemed mesmerized by his words. Those words sounded like a mantra. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she obediently parted her soft lips.

Arthur glanced at her parted lips and he swallowed his saliva. It wasn't enough to quench his thirst. He wanted her. He wished to taste her. He wanted to devour her. He wanted to have her until they became one and inseparable.

He didn't waste another second and captured her lips. His lips firmly pressed against hers and a soft piece of flesh entered her mouth. After that, his tongue smoothly ravaged the inside of her mouth. He slowly made his way around her teeth and the sides of her cheeks. 

"Mm!" Veronica sensed a jolting pleasure when his tongue met hers. She shuddered and nervously retreated her tongue. 

Arthur wasn't impatient. He was an excellent teacher. He had immense patience when he was teaching someone something. Especially since it was a lifetime matter, he had to take extra care of his student.

His tongue slowly roamed inside her mouth and unhurriedly approached its prey. The prey was shivering and it was nervous. At first, his tongue poked hers, and then, it steadily tangled with hers.

"Haah," Veronica let out a soft breath. His soft, hot, and wet tongue gave her an unfamiliar sensation. And yet, she couldn't refuse it. Her body was growing hot. Maybe it was because of her shyness or the feeling called 'desire'. Her head was getting dizzier and she was in a trance. 

As their lips parted with the thinnest thread of saliva, Arthur commented in a hoarse voice, "You have to breathe with your nose while kissing."

"..." Veronica was taken aback. If he didn't remind her, she wouldn't have noticed that she actually forgot to breathe. 

As she started to breathe again, he changed the angle and locked their lips once more. He muttered while kissing, "Move your tongue with mine. Follow my lead."

Veronica obeyed him like a good student. Their tongues wrestled while their saliva mixed. He was focused on exploring the inside of her mouth through kissing. His tongue twisted and sucked on.
