Chapter 5

Her dulled mind was trying hard to process exactly what she had heard.

“Ailey.”

Had I told him my name?

But before she could continue the thought, the force of his embrace tightened, as though urging her to answer quickly.

The knee pressed between her legs slowly ground harder against the raised nub between the soft mounds.

Startled by the sensation, Ailey answered without thinking.

“Yes……?”

“You just said ‘yes.’”

“Yes? Ye…… yes?”

“So you do like it, then?”

Was that it……?

She thought she had only repeated it back……

While Ailey remained uncertain, the man lowered his gaze to her and curved his eyes.

A radiant smile spread across his face.

A smile that began at the corners of his eyes and bloomed in order to the corners of his lips like flower buds opening one after another.

It was a smile that could enchant someone into bliss in an instant.

‘Wow…….’

Ailey let out a silent admiration.

A drop of liquor rolled from her parted lips and dripped down her chin.

The man’s eyes deepened when he saw it.

“Hngh!”

Then he lowered his head quickly.

And as though trying to steal and drink that drop of liquor, he pressed a lingering kiss to her chin.

Smack. Smack, smack.

Following the trail of the liquid upward as though licking it away, the man pressed his lips against Ailey’s mouth.

“Mmph, mm…….”

Smack, smack.

The soaked, indecent sounds filled Ailey’s ears.

The drops of liquor that had run down, and even the faint remnants of the hot alcohol that had lingered in her mouth, were all sucked into the man’s mouth.

“Uh…… hngh!”

Ailey could only cling to the man and gasp for breath.

The moment her lips parted, a thick, red tongue swept over her even teeth and immediately pushed in between them.

As soon as that excessive stimulation touched the damp flesh made sensitive by drink, fireworks burst inside Ailey’s head.

It was a kiss that made it feel as though the soul she had already lost would lose its way forever.

‘A kiss.’

There was a reason she could not help reacting more sensitively.

Because of one fact she realized once again.

‘It’s my first time…….’

Just like the embrace from earlier had been her first, this was Ailey’s first kiss.

More precisely, if one excluded the childhood days when she had somehow lunged at her fiancé and clumsily mashed her lips against his.

“Stop it, Ailey!”

“It’s just a kiss!”

“You’re not kissing me, you’re just attacking me with your lips!”

She had not even been ten back then, so it had been nothing more than childish play between children.

Kalan had even rejected it with a bright red face.

Ailey had refused to let go, and he had even shoved her away roughly.

So it would have been a stretch to call that old display of affection a kiss.

As Kalan had said, calling it an attack with lips would have been more accurate.

So in the end.

‘A kiss with this kind of *rotic meaning.’

This kiss she was sharing with this man now was her first.

The thought made goosebumps prickle along the back of her neck.

A little belatedly, awareness hit her.

Right now, in a place like this where someone might see, while she was thoroughly drunk.

‘And with a man I’ve never met before…….’

Flinch.

At that fact, her body instinctively tried to resist.

But the moment she looked at the beautifully radiant man, the faint sense of refusal she had felt turned instead into a thrilling spark.

Even more so when the man curved his eyes and smiled in response.

‘……Maybe it feels good too…….’

A trembling, excitement she had never felt before seized Ailey’s mind.

The lips rubbing against hers so wetly were one thing, but the secretive, hidden feeling of the whole situation made Ailey even more excited.

‘I can do this too.’

It’s not only Kalan who can.

I can do something this filthy, this improper, with another man too.

Just when the swelling exhilaration made her breath catch without her realizing it.

“Mmph!”

The next moment, as if telling her not to think of some other man, the man gripped Ailey’s chin a little more firmly.

Their tangled tongues entwined even more closely.

Her body, already drifting into a haze from exhilaration and pleasure, lost all will to defend against the intruder.

“Haa…….”

The sensation of their tongues rubbing together was electric.

It felt as though each of her taste buds was tangling with his.

With wet sounds, the tongue that roamed through her mouth as though ravaging its soft inner walls finally reached beyond her hard palate to touch the tender flesh deeper inside.

“Hngh!”

When Ailey let out a shocked breath and opened her mouth wider at the deep intrusion of flesh, the man seemed to seize his chance and pushed his tongue in further, stirring everything up.

Ailey forgot even to breathe and let her eyes fall half-lidded.

“Ailey.”

The man, who had kept his eyes fully open the whole time, watching her reactions, only then withdrew his tongue slightly as though telling her to breathe.

Their lips were still half joined.

“Hah…… hng…….”

Ailey finally released the breath she had been holding.

While she greedily drew in air, the man gently caught the tongue that was trying to retreat and tugged it toward himself again and again without hurting her.

“Mmm…….”

Forced to stick out her tongue through parted lips, Ailey let out a faint m*an.

Each time his pointed canine and front teeth softly nibbled at her tongue, a jolt ran through her head.

When his tongue, far thicker and larger than hers, intertwined with her own and sucked at it, goosebumps rose on the nape of her neck.

When Ailey shivered again, firm knuckles stroked the back of her head and rubbed between her scalp and hair.

Even though all he was doing was stroking and combing through her hair.

Even just that felt enough to make the ends of her hair stand on end.

Keeping her head tilted slightly back like that, the man once again gently invaded her mouth.

As their angle shifted, his eyelashes fluttered and brushed against Ailey’s cheek.

Smack.

A wet sound, and saliva ran down past their lips.

“Ah…….”

It felt as though every extremity of her body was melting away.

Unable to think of anything at all, Ailey did not even notice that with his other hand, the man was toying with her thigh, the underswell of her br*ast, and the area around her ribs.

Nor did she notice when that hand slyly slid upward to brush or press where her n*pple was.

Or when, in the end, that hand moved down to her thigh again, spread her legs wider, and pressed his lower body deeper between them.

“Hngh……!”

When she whimpered again from the lack of air and floundered, the man pulled back with a short, wet sound, and his smile deepened.

Faint makeup had smeared around his lips, damp with saliva.

“Ah.”

Realizing it had transferred from her own lips, Ailey’s face flushed bright red.

If the man looked like that, then her own lips had surely smeared hideously, like she had made a mess of herself.

Showing him a face like that somehow felt even more embarrassing than what they had done together.

‘How embarrassing…….’

Without thinking, Ailey tried to touch her lips.

But the man was quicker, pressing firmly on her lower lip.

“Shh.”

“…….”

As he softly pressed the pliant lip, the man slipped his finger between her slightly parted teeth and pressed down on her tongue.

Startled, Ailey bit his finger without thinking.

“Ah!”

Though she quickly opened her mouth again, startled by her own action.

The man gave a short, admiring sound.

“Ah.”

“…….”

“You bite better than I expected.”

“Hng, uh, th-that, I…….”

“So narrow inside too. And good at biting.”

He was clearly talking about her mouth, but somehow it sounded like it meant something else.

The man stared intently at Ailey’s bright red ears, then kissed the outer rim and whispered.

“I’m truly glad.”

Even though the man had stolen every trace of liquor left in her mouth,

Ailey felt even more drunk than before they had kissed.

Her whole body trembled.

The stories she had so often heard about the fluttering sweetness and innocent thrill of a first kiss drifted suddenly through her head.

‘Lies…….’

No one had ever told her that a kiss was something this indecent.

That it was this kind of act, as improper as joining bodies themselves.

Hot breath pressed against Ailey’s ear as she barely managed to hold together her dizzy mind.

That terribly low yet refreshing, contradictory voice again wound along the thin rim of her ear.

“Would it be the same here too?”

Then the man’s hand touched a place Ailey had never imagined anyone would touch in her life.

A place she had thought even Kalan would flee from without touching.
