You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 679

"!... Z-zel?... so many kisses are—mph..."

"Anne... my love, isn’t the moon wonderful? *smoo~ch* Don’t you feel as if the sun continues in the sky even at night... *lick~* hm?"

"Zel... fuh... this..."

"Anne... it’s hot... it feels like it burns me, my love..."

"! Wait. Zel..."

"Hah... hff... r-right. I feel a little..." — Troubled, he separated for a second. Showing a thirsty expression that told me he could not stay away. His lips decided to kiss the top of my head now while his hands clenched my back trying to contain an impatience I had not seen as intense before. Too passionate... Too breathtaking. — "Fuhh your scent is... entrancing, Anne..."

I could only close my eyes to his strong hold. The way I noticed he was practically inhaling my hair as he placed more kisses in my crown, infected me with the fever his body transmitted and his chest, on which I ended pressed against, beating loudly, incredibly soft in its firmness.

"Zel..."

"Anne..."

My hands clenched the thick blouse he was wearing, bewildered by the sensations his voice and touch were summoning after cuddling me and caressing my body so differently tonight.

"Z-zel... you don’t seem alright..." — I said not very sure if I was fine myself. It felt as if I halted something within him... but it continued briefly after with his nose moving down to talk to me in the ear.

"I feel like taking all of you, love..." — He whispered. Biting my ear that was burning now while I felt dizzy by his warmth being cooled down by the lick he gave it. — "I’ve always felt like that but... huff... this moon makes me lose more of my mind *lick*..."

"! Nh~! T-that is not fine... You shouldn’t...!"

"Yes... so stop me once it gets dangerous, Anne."

"Y-you should stop right now."

"... no, a little more. It is still fine, I promise... I have not kissed you enough."

"! N-no, because..." — Doing as though I hadn’t shaken my head even if weakly, he lifted me to kiss my jaw... neck and cleavage... making me lose it for a moment with the pleasure of being completely in his arms. Coming up to graze my lips for a deeper kiss I knew would not end innocently the moment I felt his tongue. — "D-don’t, please! I-I might not be able to stop you later!"

"... that’s... Uff... Marianne, that’s fine too, right? Say it is..."

"N-no..."

"Gh... please..."

I was as troubled as him while I looked down at him biting his lip from distress. His having me up in the air made me helpless to the sight... I honestly wanted him and have been hoping for it... But somehow the circumstances felt mistaken... as if I was taking advantage of the fact that he was not thinking straight.

"D-didn’t... didn’t you s-say we need to wait... we... we should marry first." — Not knowing what to say so he would stop touching and nuzzling me in weird places, I blurted out the marriage issue. And it worked. He did stop.

Our gazes met as he lowered me, looking intensely into my eyes without blinking an eye.

"I want marriage." — Zel said, shocking me with his pause waiting for my opinion.

"?... w-well, I also want it... eventually."

"When?"

"??... I... I do not know...Whenever I receive a proposal? Better yet if by the man I love..."

The peek I gave him sent an excited shiver down my body. The sensual smirk and rosy eyes he displayed appeared challenged. His hand this time took my chin to lift my gaze so he could lean, staring directly into my soul that was already shaken by the effects of the moon. — "Anne... who’s the man you love?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"... w... I-is there even... a need to ask?"

His chuckle started an approach I was ready to return. A kiss... I was so sure and ready to enjoy it...

"Please say it, my love." — He stopped, distancing himself when my lips were about to reach him right before he said this.

The tease made me tremble. It ignited a delectably scary excitement. And trapped by the breath that was grazing my flesh so mischievously, I said as if about to lose my sound. — "You are..."

"I am what... my loved woman..."

"Y-you are... my loved man..."

"Haaah... good love..."

It was a kiss in which only my arms reached out to wrap him while his tough ones kept themselves behind his back keeping himself in check. I could feel how he tensed up, fighting something I was intentionally teasing to come out. But sadly, I needed a whiff of air which he took as a chance to end his visit.

"Tomorrow it might be difficult to meet during the day."

"Hff... Huh?"

"I will still come to you, whether to say good night or to sneak through our passage, Anne."

"W-wait..."

"Good night, love."

"..."

Leaving like that, I did not know what to do with the rush of my heart all night.

The 29th of Syvusk arrived and as he had announced, not a glimpse of him was found. Sir Biel had crossed my path and said he was also busy helping with the paperwork while Zel attended to other tasks with the nobles and the Emperor.

— It might be difficult for him to come see you today, dear Ninth. Please do comprehend... busy days have arrived for all of us. —

I laughed it off, sure that he would still meet me even though others might not know. And so, the day flowed as supposed to. Slow while I missed him, boring as nothing new happened and nothing more has been found about the broken bones witch.

’Truly boring it’s been... eating desserts is what keeps me expectant of the days now...’ — Watching the candle I lit up, I sighed, appreciating the beauty of my chambers while finally alone at night.

...

"Even so, isn’t Zel late?" — I thought out loud for he was supposed to come meet me now, after dinner, as he usually would.
