Chapter 60: Alliance (3)
“Of course not! As I said, kissing on the lips is different, so we don’t do that to family members.”
"......."
At those words, Asena’s heart turned cold.
Of course, she listened when an experienced person taught her, but today, a small anger broke out in her heart when Helen said she shouldn’t ‘kiss’ Cayden.
If it's something you can do with someone you love, there's no one more suitable than Cayden.
Max, a young butler who was standing nearby, observed the conversation between Helen and Asena and formed a sinister smile.
"Asena-sama. In fact, there's something else Madam Helen didn't mention."
".....?"
"Max...!"
Max gave Helen a vicious smile, blocked her attempt to cover his mouth, and informed Asena.
"Kissing is an act of pressing lips against each other, unlike a peck. That's why tongues have to be involved too."
"Max!"
"Hehehe! Madam Helen, shouldn't Asena-sama know what I'm talking about?"
"She’ll naturally come to know as she grows older!"
"How would she know if no one tells her? It's not something you instinctively know how to do. Don't treat her like a child. I had my first kiss when I was fifteen."
"You and Asena-sama are different!"
"How was it, Max?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Asena asked.
Tongues have to be involved too, huh…?
"Asena-sama!"
Helen, who was caught in between, expressed her frustration.
However, Asena didn't hear her.
Max stroked his chin and contemplated for a while before speaking to Asena.
"...Ah, it's hard to explain. Try it yourself later."
And so, that night, Asena once again found herself in Cayden's bedroom.
She was more ambitious than the previous night.
The night was darker, and the moonlight was even brighter. It was after all the maids' murmurs had quieted down and everyone had fallen asleep.
Asena's heart was pounding as if it would burst.
On this night, the only sound she could hear was her own heartbeat.
Asena entered his room, just like the previous day, but unlike the previous day, she hoped he wouldn't be awake.
Helen had said that this was something siblings shouldn't do…
Cayden probably knew that as well.
However, just because of that, Asena didn't want to miss out on what she desired. She wanted to experience a kiss with him.
Even just the thought of their lips touching made her head feel like it would explode. Max had said that a kiss couldn't be explained with words… Asena agreed.
She sat beside him, just like yesterday, and shook him.
"...Oppa, wake up."
She desperately hoped he wouldn't wake up. She hoped today's training would also be as intense.
-Shake, shake.
Asena shook him, but he showed no signs of movement, just like the day before. He was sound asleep, as if dead.
Ignoring her rational thoughts telling her to check further, she immediately hung her hair behind her ears. She was feeling extremely uneasy.
She turned her body and placed one arm on the left side of his face and the other on the right side.
The strands of hair that couldn't be caught by her ear tickled his face as they fell.
But still, he didn't wake up; whether it was because Cayden was sleeping or because he pretended not to notice, she didn’t know. And despite it felt so wrong to do it in both cases, Asena could still find a strange excitement in her heart.
There was a pleasure in doing something that shouldn't be done…
It also proved how much she liked Cayden… that she was even ready to break the rules.
She gazed at his face in that state for a while.
With her mouth swallowing saliva multiple times, she slowly began to lower her arms.
She got closer to him gradually.
Even until her elbows touched the bed, he didn't move at all. Now, their faces were merely an inch apart.
"...Oppa, if you're going to wake up, wake up now."
Asena spoke in a very soft voice. She said the words, but she hoped he wouldn't wake up.
"....."
He didn't respond.
As if her rationality had suddenly snapped, Asena pressed her lips against his.
“...”
Unlike the last time, she remained there to feel Cayden's soft lips for the first time.
A shiver ran down her spine, and her whole body tensed up.
This intense pleasure was something she had never experienced before.
"...Mm..."
Unintentionally, air escaped her lungs, and a muffled moan slipped out.
Asena let go of his lips.
Her heart felt like it was going to burst.
But there was still... something bigger remaining. A pleasure greater than this. Could she handle it?
Asena took a rough breath, exhaled quietly, and lunged at him again.
Their lips collided.
‘Tongues have to be involved too.’
Max's words echoed in her ears.
Slowly… Very slowly, Asena opened her mouth and extended her tongue. Passing through her teeth, passing through her own lips, it reached Cayden's lips.
Asena's body trembled, and she went as far as using her elbows and hands to hold herself and Cayden in place.
Slowly savoring the sensation of his lips, Asena pushed her tongue forward. She opened his lips... and gently wrapped her tongue around his. The softness of his lips wrapped around her tongue felt indescribably pleasant.
Next, she felt his teeth. They were also sweet, but like opening the fruit inside a skin, Asena pushed her tongue further, even opening his teeth.
She was surprised at the tongue that went deeper than expected.
To be more comfortable, Asena twisted her head and completely intertwined their lips.
After going deeper and deeper… she finally felt the sensation.
Asena's tongue had found Cayden's.
"....!!"
Her back naturally arched, holding Cayden more dearly.
Asena felt Cayden’s tongue gliding and touching hers, teasingly playing with it.
Warm. Moist. Sensual.
If a peck on the cheek felt like a firecracker exploding in her head, a kiss felt like her whole body melting away.
She could do nothing but feel indescribable happiness.
She completely forgot the advice from Grandma Liana about excessive displays of affection.
She also forgot that it was wrong to do this with her brother.
Now, Asena's tongue played with his as if all restraints had been released.
But then, she gasped for breath and pulled her head back.
"...Pwah..."
Saliva stretched out… seeing it excited her.
Asena took a deep breath, as if she was about to dive into the water, and pressed her lips against his once again… Once again, her tongue explored him deeply.
From this moment on, Asena became addicted to kissing Cayden.
From this point on, she could maintain the stern face of the family head without showing any childish behavior. In the end, no matter how exhausting the day was, she would be rewarded at night.
She became more dignified. Not showing emotions. Like a Pryster.
She became able to cultivate even greater patience unless it was related to Cayden. As the days went by, the days of receiving compliments from Grandma Liana also increased.
At the same time, the burden increased. Like the previous things were just a rehearsal, Liana continued to burden Asena with more and more responsibilities. Asena gracefully bore the burden, but…
The more burden she received, the rougher she became at night… within the limits of not waking him up, of course.
Also, on days when he had undergone intense training, Asena thoroughly explored him.
Climbing on top of his body and wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him many times.
She alternated between kisses and pecks and enjoyed herself thoroughly.
Even after several years, this behavior continued.
She knew that as his younger sister, she shouldn't harbor feelings like this, but at night, she could express her honest feelings to him without holding back.
She often thought they were like a married couple.
And whenever she had such thoughts, her heart was soaked in happiness.
Although she couldn't do it every day... quite often, she secretly entered his bed.
Everything was possible because Cayden did intense training more often than not.
There were times when Asena was so excited that she almost woke him up, but she somehow managed to get through those moments.
The best was when he embraced her tightly in his sleep. Asena was able to share both a kiss and a hug with him at the same time, feeling so happy that she couldn’t even breathe properly.
Eventually, she began to get to know the structure of his mouth, the feel of his tongue, and everything about him.
She could even tell what kind of tea he had with Keirsey before falling asleep.
Asena became completely addicted to him.
Even on days when they fought. Without fail, she went to his room and kissed him while venting her dissatisfaction.
“Oppa, it’s your fault,” she said somehow while intertwining their tongues.
Even on happy days. Without fail, she hugged him tightly and whispered words of love.
"You'd been looking at that maid for too long today," she said, acting cute.
In his arms, she could always break away from her role as a Duchess Pryster and return to being his younger sister.
This behavior continued until they became adults.
Even after becoming an adult, Asena tasted the same joy.
The level of pleasure never diminished.
At the same time, the biggest obstacle in her life was approaching.
The day she had to quit doing this with Cayden, whom she had been addicted to for five years; The day she would enter the academy.
Since entering the academy, opportunities to kiss him, as if it were a lie, never arose.
She could feel her patience fading away.
Every night, she became curious about what kind of tea he had before falling asleep, and she longed for the familiar sensation of his tongue.
"Just hold on for two more years, just hold on for two more years..." she repeated to herself, but it was becoming harder and harder.
So, Asena didn't miss the opportunity that presented itself.
As his scars began to heal and Cayden swallowed diluted Mugwort juice before sleeping, Asena clearly felt that today was the day to intertwine their tongues again.
Thus, she excused herself to the restroom and immediately went straight to Cayden's room, where he was sleeping, and without any hesitation, she pressed her lips against his.
It was a natural process.
Those lips were hers, so there was no need to hesitate.
It had been a long time, but the feeling was all too familiar. Likewise, a familiar pleasure enveloped her.
In that fleeting moment, when she thought she had only blinked once, a voice reached her ears.
".....Unni?"
Her body stiffened. As they say, if your tail is long, it will be caught. Keirsey had witnessed Asena sharing love with Cayden, something she had never been caught doing in the past five years.
Asena had no words left to say.
Anyway... someday, they were bound to be caught. Perhaps it was an inevitable outcome.
So she hardened her face and turned to her surprised and innocent younger sister.
Looking at her younger sister who was behind her, Asena whispered quietly.
“….you saw it?”
