Chapter 384

How did others endure such intense hunger and unfulfilled desires? The notion of living with this constant longing to bind with someone deeper and longer was so provocative. An overwhelming number of emotions for one person filled the mind so much that no other thoughts could form, and yet the desire to escape from them seemed strange.

He wondered if Kishiar La Orr was thinking the same thing.

During such disorganized thoughts, a faint sound of knocking from somewhere reached his ears. Suddenly coming to his senses and opening his eyes, the man who had been embracing Yuder as if to imprison Yuder between the chairs gently bit his lower lip as if to say don't worry.

A moist mucous membrane slid smoothly over the reflexively parted lips and delved back in. A low sound was made as the tips of long fingers gently supported the tilted neck. The insignificant sensation of feeling the soft flesh inside the hair merged with something hot deep inside the mouth, and in an instant, a surprisingly sharp pleasure brushed the brain.

The core of desire ignited again, threatening to blur his mind, but the knocking from outside the door brought consciousness back. This time there was a voice as well.

“Commander, may I enter...?”

He thought they were servants coming to clear the table, but it wasn’t. Yuder quickly turned his head as soon as he recognized Ever's voice. Just that alone felt like it required tremendous patience.

“...Commander.”

Not liking the muffled sound of his voice as if he had just woken up, he cleared his throat. Kishiar chuckled and kissed Yuder's furrowed brow.

“Hmm?”

Even though he knew why Yuder had called, the tickling sensation of a nose rubbing against the ear and neck caused the shoulders to involuntarily shrink. Yuder, lightly kissing his neck, briefly battled fiercely between the desire to pull the unmoving man closer and the reason to push him away.

But reason won in the end. Barely releasing his hand from around Kishiar's neck, he gestured towards the closed door.

“...We must open the door.”

“We must.”

But contrary to his words, Kishiar remained still even after responding. It was an unusual reaction. nÊw stories at no/vel/b/i/n(.)com

Perhaps Kishiar felt the same regret as he did, and the sensation of his heart tightening and loosening came again. Exhaling hot breath from deep within his throat, Yuder unknowingly reached out and caressed Kishiar's cheek. Unable to fully feel through the glove, but when Kishiar looked up with a profound, smile-less gaze, an indescribable emotion welled up.

Without exchanging words, it was understood.

He felt the same as Yuder.

Yuder changed his mind from pulling away after just one caress and carefully swept Kishiar's eye. The very small, meaningless sound of golden hair brushing against the glove felt strangely loud.

Kishiar also reached out and caressed Yuder's cheek. Like looking in a mirror, the stroking of the same spot ignited an inexplicable emotion. Perhaps it was a tenderness worth naming.

Only then did Kishiar finally straighten and stand up. The emotion just shown could not be felt in the voice commanding to enter.

“Ah, you were still eating. My apologies.”

"It's fine. I was about to call the servants to clear the table. But what happened?"

Ever, who had entered the room, seemed surprised at the sight of a table still laden with untouched dishes but quickly composed herself and reported on the purpose of her visit.

"The members at the security management team, led by Finn, searched all over the third floor of the dungeon where Yuder found it. They say the sound of the wind coming from there is most likely the voice of a person... and possibly even that of an Awakener."

But if it was really swollen, the reason was obvious. It was likely due to what they had just been doing.

“...”

Yuder furrowed his brows with an indescribable feeling, then slowly nodded.

“It seems so. That must be... what it looks like.”

“Be careful. The pepper herbs in the West are much spicier than in other regions. Even Emun accidentally chewed on some in yesterday's lunch dish, and his tongue and lips were swollen all the way until today.”

After leaving kind advice that sucking on ice would help, Ever patted Yuder's shoulder and bid him farewell.

“I will take my leave now, Commander.”

Once she left, silence filled the room again. Yuder looked back at Kishiar with a peculiar feeling. He was slightly furrowing his brows, smiling apologetically.

“...Is it really swollen?”

“A little.”

Despite having engaged in the same activity, Kishiar looked perfectly fine. Well, the one who had been bitten on the lip during their kiss was Yuder, not him. The first time they had kissed, Kishiar had suffered a minor injury to his lips, but except for that, there had never been a mark. Perhaps that was just his nature.

“It's fortunate that there was already someone who had mistakenly eaten the pepper herb.”

“I thought you would be upset that I had bitten your lip, is that how you're going to let it go?”

“I won't get angry over something like that.”

“My assistant is indeed magnanimous.”

“It's something I wanted to do, and it didn't hurt.”

Kishiar reacted rather differently to those words, for some reason.
