Chapter 2.2

Perhaps it was the lingering effects of the alcohol, or maybe the kiss had left her too breathless and dazed. Either way, Dania found herself unable to react properly. Even when Luel began unbuttoning her blouse, she couldn’t fully grasp the situation she was in.

Before she knew it, Luel had leaned in to kiss her again, his hands continuing to unbutton her blouse down to her navel. “Ah, wait…!”

His hand brushed aside the hem of her blouse and slipped under her slip, boldly exploring her skin. One hand cupped her chest, which was disproportionately full for her petite frame, while the other trailed down her back, fumbling with the clasp of her bra. After a few failed attempts, he finally managed to unhook it.

She had always known that such acts involved being unclothed… 

But was he really going to go through with this? Seeing that earlier… it did seem like he was serious. But with me? Why?

Her scattered thoughts began to fade as his hands, now beneath her loosened bra, began to knead her chest.

“Ah… mm…”

The sharp sensation of his palm brushing against the sensitive peaks of her chest sent shivers through her. His fingers pinched and rolled her n*pples, rubbing and teasing them in ways that sent strange, ticklish feelings pooling low in her abdomen.

Throughout it all, Luel continued to kiss Dania, alternately sucking and pressing against her lips, while his thick tongue gently explored the small space inside her mouth. Dania, once again, found herself unable to breathe properly, gasping for air.

The lingering ticklish sensation in her mouth, the subtle stimulation on the most sensitive parts of her chest, the rapid pounding of her heart—all of it overwhelmed her. Even though Luel’s lips and fingers remained above her waist, a strange and unfamiliar sensation began to creep into areas below her navel, places she had never paid much attention to before.

The unfamiliarity of it all suddenly frightened her.

“Mm, ah, hng… mm…”

Her fear turned into a whimper, which dissolved into a soft moan within Luel’s mouth.

Luel’s palm pressed against her chest again, kneading the soft flesh with deliberate pressure, his touch sending waves of tension through her body. The weight of his hand, coupled with the suffocating kiss, left Dania gasping for air as if she were about to lose consciousness.

Just as she thought she couldn’t take it anymore, Luel’s lips began to move elsewhere. They trailed from her earlobe to the nape of her neck, then down to her collarbone, following the defined line of her muscles.

In the brief pause, Dania managed to catch her breath. As her breathing gradually steadied, her foggy mind began to regain a faint semblance of clarity.

“L-Luel!”

Luel, who had been about to lick the hollow between her collarbones, slowly lifted his head.

“What is it?”

“Uh, um…”

“…”

“I get it now.”

“Get what?”

Luel’s brows furrowed slightly. His dark gaze, filled with an emotion Dania had never seen before, startled her. There was even a hint of irritation in his expression.

“Th-that thing you were trying to show me…”

“What do you mean, ‘get it’?”

“Uh, well, I mean…”

Still struggling to think clearly, Dania found it difficult to come up with a proper response.

That you’re good at this? That this is more serious than I thought?

But what Luel was good at was undoubtedly…

“Dania.”

“Y-yes?”

“You told me to show you, so now I’m about to put myself inside you.”

“P-put… inside…”

Dania’s green eyes widened in shock at Luel’s bold words.

“What’s wrong?”

“…”

“Are you worried about the priesthood evaluation, even though you said you’ve given up on it?”

“Y-yes!”

Seizing on the excuse Luel had conveniently provided, Dania quickly nodded.

“Yes, I think… going that far might be…”

“Going that far might be…?”

Dania nodded hesitantly.

“So, you’re saying that putting myself inside you is too much?”

“Stop saying such vulgar things!”

Dania’s face turned bright red as she let out a high-pitched scream. She squeezed her eyes shut in embarrassment, missing the way Luel’s lips curled into a sly smile.

“Well, in that case, this should be fine.”

“Wha—!”

Before she realized what was happening, Luel had pulled her down, her back now pressed against the sofa cushions. As Dania’s wide eyes darted around, trying to make sense of the situation, Luel had already slipped his hand under her skirt and pulled her underwear down to her knees in one swift motion.

The sudden exposure of a part of her body that had always been covered sent a cool sensation over her skin. Dania wasn’t aware of it, but her lower region was already slightly damp.

She didn’t know whether to feel ashamed about the position she was in—her legs half-raised, exposing herself to him—or mortified that she had inadvertently revealed a part of herself she had never even seen properly.

“W-what are you doing…?!”

“You said putting myself inside you is too much.”

Dania’s face flushed a deep red. While he had refrained from using explicit language, his meaning was still unmistakable.

“But there’s still so much left to show you, as you requested. So, there’s no other choice.”

“No, that’s not what I—ah!”

Dania tried to protest, but the words caught in her throat.

“Ah, hng…!”

The sudden sensation at her most private area left her completely speechless. Luel’s fingers had traced a line from her entrance to her cl*toris, brushing against her folds with deliberate precision.

The sensation was sharper and more intense than anything she had experienced before.

Luel’s fingers began to explore her intimately, gently prodding at her entrance, teasing the folds, and spreading the slickness that had gathered there over her cl*toris. His fingers moved in slow, deliberate circles, coaxing a reaction from her sensitive skin. Her hips twitched involuntarily with each touch.

“Ah, hng, L-Luel…!”

“So, as long as I don’t put myself inside you, it’s fine, right?”

“Wh-what are you…?”

“Purity, as defined by the Holy One, is about not engaging in intercourse, isn’t it?”

Technically, no. The doctrine condemned lust itself, and acts involving hands or mouths were also considered violations.

But Dania was still intoxicated, overwhelmed by the unfamiliar sensations coursing through her, and unable to think rationally about where the line of purity truly lay. In her dazed state, she ended up blurting out something foolish.

“Is… is that so…?”

“Exactly. As long as there’s no intercourse, you’ll remain pure, and the priesthood evaluation won’t be affected.”

As Luel’s voice, sweet as a melody, continued to reassure her, Dania’s underwear slipped completely off her legs and landed beside her glasses. Her pale, slender legs spread apart, revealing herself to Luel, whose eyes curved into a satisfied smile.

“So, Dania. As you requested, I’ll show you what adults do in private. No harm will come to you, and you’ll stay pure. Isn’t that fine?”

“Th-that seems… ah!”

Before Dania could finish nodding, Luel’s face dipped between her legs.

“Ah! Hng…! That’s… gross, ah…!”

The wet, slurping sounds filled the room as Luel’s lips pressed against her folds, kissing them softly before his tongue traced her entrance, spreading the slickness over the delicate skin.

What… what is this indecent thing?

Her mind went blank at the unexpected situation. But soon, the blankness was replaced by a physiological response to the stimulation. Despite herself, her hips and lower body began to twitch uncontrollably.

The trembling of her sensitive skin was transmitted to Luel’s tongue. He pressed his lips against the small, swollen nub at the top of her folds, teasing it with his tongue.

“Hng!”

The tender flesh, now slightly engorged, responded eagerly to his ministrations. As Luel sucked gently on the sensitive area, her entrance pulsed, and a stream of wetness trickled down his chin.

“Dania… do you realize how wet you are down here?”

The man, who barely managed to lift his head, muttered in awe, his gaze fixed on her most intimate area.

“Ah, q-quiet… hng… stop it…!”

“Besides, every time I touch you, your body trembles.”

“P-please, stop…”

“I haven’t even properly done what you were curious about.”

As Luel’s fingertips lightly grazed the delicate inner skin, her body indeed twitched along with his touch, just as he said.

“Hng… ah… ngh.”

“You keep… leaking from here.”

“Stop saying… such things!”

Dania desperately wanted to get up and shut his mouth, which was spouting such embarrassing words, but the unfamiliar sensations blooming between her legs made her lower body feel as though it wasn’t her own. Her pelvis twitched uncontrollably, and the area she had never paid attention to except during her cycles now tingled strangely. Even pulling her legs together seemed impossible as they trembled involuntarily.

“Dania, it seems like you think I’m good at this.”

Luel licked his lips, which glistened with moisture. His movements were so unhurried that it seemed less like he was savoring her arousal and more like he was simply enjoying himself.

“You understand now that it’s nothing special?”

“Ah… no, not really…”

“Not really?”

The deep intoxication and the unfamiliar excitement made Dania’s thoughts a jumbled mess. Instinctively, she thought it felt good, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to admit that the man she had bickered with all her life was good at something.

Luel’s smile deepened.

“‘Not really,’ you say… but your body keeps begging for more.”

“L-Luel!”

“Oh, forgive me, Holy One. I meant to say that your body is desperate to connect with mine.”

Luel clasped his hands together and pressed them to his forehead, pretending to offer a prayer.

“Sigh, if I’m going to show you properly, this won’t be enough.”

“Just… stop talking… ah…”

As Luel continued speaking while remaining near her most sensitive area, his warm breath alone sent shivers through her. The soft hairs of her pubic region rustled, stimulating her already sensitive skin.

“But since we agreed not to go all the way, I’ll do my best instead.”

When Luel spread apart the upper part of her outer folds, the hood covering her cl*toris retracted, revealing the moist, sensitive tip.

“Ah! Luel! Hng…!”

With a deliberate, wet sound, Luel sucked on the exposed area. The intense sensation that shot through her lower body made Dania’s legs instinctively try to close. But they couldn’t, as Luel’s head was firmly positioned between them.

“Hng… ah… Luel… ah…”

The electric sensation spread mercilessly from the sensitive spot he was sucking on, radiating throughout her lower body. Her folds, her entrance, and even the area connecting to her thighs all tingled with a dull ache.

“Stop… ah… please… hng.”

Blocked by Luel’s hand pressing against her folds, Dania could do nothing but spread her legs like a frog and let her hips twitch uncontrollably. The tingling sensations originating from her lower region piled up beneath her navel, making her feel as though her lower abdomen was tightening in a deep, unreachable place.

With a slurping sound, Luel, who had been diligently sucking on her cl*toris, began to flatten his tongue and lick her folds upward. He pressed against the trembling, delicate skin and slid all the way up to her sensitive nub.
