2. Night Education (Part 3)

If this had happened at a ballroom, she wouldn’t have felt much, but here they were, alone in the study at midnight. It was just too… strange.

Her soft br*asts pressed against his solid chest. In the moment her voluptuous form was distorted, Alexander brushed back the hair that had fallen over her as he murmured.

“You should never be alone with a man dressed like this.”

“Dressed like this?”

Eirin lowered her head. Within her plunging neckline, the deep cleavage was visible through the fabric. She had never cared about how it looked because she never showed her regular nightgown to anyone, but now, under the lamplight, her tempting, voluptuous br*asts were clearly illuminated, appearing even more indecent than if she had simply bared her body.

“Ah.”

She hurriedly pulled up the shawl to cover her chest, shyly avoiding his gaze. Realizing he had seen everything, her face flushed hotly and her breathing quickened.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s not a matter of manners; it’s that men have raging desires inside them. If you show such a provocative sight…”

Alexander licked his lips. His red lips glistened with saliva.

“I won’t be able to control myself.”

What exactly would he be unable to control? If he was referring to the heat burning inside him, it would be the same for both women and men.

A blazing fire tickled Eirin’s lower body, which was touching him.

What is this?

A sensation she had never felt before.

She remembered the novel she had read before.

[Flame surged over the skin where they touched. Even though it was just their lips meeting, pl*asure overflowed, and the area between her legs became moist.]

Just like the passage in the novel, a carnal desire was coiled within her body, and the area between her thighs was tingling. She shivered at the sensation of dampness in places that had never been wet before.

Eirin lifted her head slightly. Inside her partly open lips, tension dried them out.

“If you can’t control yourself… what would happen?”

“If I can’t control myself?”

He asked, chuckling. One corner of his even lips curled upwards.

“That’s a dangerous question.”

As he spoke almost casually, he pulled her body closer. As soon as Eirin’s body was enveloped in Alexander’s firm grip, her soft body pressed against his hard chest. His embrace was as risky as he had said. But his gaze was even more so. His scorching eyes trailed over her face.

“A question that provokes a man.”

Their faces were extremely close. Alexander’s whispered words were enough to tickle her lips.  If he just lowered his head a little, just a tiny bit, their lips would touch.

“Won’t you run away?”

“Huh?”

“Do you not know what I might do to you?”

“I know what you might do to me.”

A kiss.

Although she had never experienced it, she could instinctively tell from the intense gaze focused solely on her face. It wasn’t just a simple greeting kiss between a man and a woman. 

If he were to move, it would be… just as he had described earlier – an intense and passionate kiss.

She remembered what he said earlier.

‘Kissing has a more provocative aspect than s*x. Because it needs to fulfill not only the physical desires of the body but also the emotional yearnings.’

What kind of kiss could possibly satisfy emotional desires as well?

The man before her now was the one she had secretly admired all this time. The lamplight flickered, casting sharp shadows on his defined nose. The slight upturn of his eyebrow was striking. 

Would his eyebrows be as soft as her own, or as rough as his touch?

“Why should I run away?”

She wanted him. Right now, she desperately wanted to know what a kiss was like. To see if it could truly satisfy not only her base desires but her emotions as well, just as he had said. At her question, a redness crept into the corners of Alexander’s eyes. Her voice illuminated the dim study.

“I don’t want to run away.”

She couldn’t find a reason to run away.

Reputation? There was no one here anyway. Even if they shared an intimate kiss, no one would know except for the moon shining outside the window. No, perhaps it would be better if rumors spread. Then that pesky Lady Noel who had her eyes on Alexander would be distraught.

Above all, nothing could be more wonderful than kissing him right now. She swallowed hard. Unconsciously, Eirin partially parted her lips, gazing at him. The pink, moist membrane peeked through.

“Alexander…”

Please.

At the sound of his name flowing from her lips, the corners of Alexander’s eyes creased deeply. He exhaled a deep breath and immediately covered her. His thick hands pulled her arched waist tightly against him. Through the thin nightgown, his thighs pressed against her.

Hard and solid. And it felt so good.

She couldn’t tell if the heat surging between them was emanating from him or from herself. As he fully pressed their bodies together, his lips that had hovered just out of reach finally enveloped hers.

“Mmph…”

Eirin gasped as she welcomed his lips. Soft, yet rough lips flowed into hers. As his thick tongue licked her lips, she involuntarily opened them wider. Instinctively, she tangled her tongue with his. Although this was her first such experience, her knowledge from books was not to be disregarded, or perhaps it was simply because she desired him so desperately.

The sudden desire that had seized her body made her waist want to keep retreating despite her heart’s desires. However, she quickly corrected her thoughts and leaned her weight against his hard body.

A proper lady would have run away from here. But I’m not one.

Having already written such indecent novels, there was nothing to be afraid of. The fact that he desired her, and didn’t ignore her, filled her with such joy. She raised her small hands to clutch at his hair. His locks, usually so neatly in place, now flowed freely, and she delighted in that sight.

“Hah…”

As their lips parted slightly, a voice even unfamiliar to herself flowed from Eirin’s lips. Still, she couldn’t stop. The tingling at the tips of her br*asts made her want to rub against him. The heat between her thighs made her want to tear everything off to cool down.

She had never understood the agonized moans the female protagonists in novels let out just from kissing the male leads, but now she fully comprehended their feelings.

It’s a good thing I didn’t take off my own nightgown myself.

As Alexander had said earlier, kissing wasn’t just a tool to satisfy bodily desires. Her vision blurred, and her chest tingled. Overwhelmed by an indescribable sensation, her breathing became ragged.

“Hah, hah.”

Eirin already felt like she was delirious, but he seemed to have no intention of stopping. Alexander’s tongue flicked inside her soft lips. Alexander’s tongue tip swirled inside her soft lips. As he prodded the base of her tongue, her legs went weak, and she was drawn further into his embrace. Her swollen br*asts were crushed, spreading a dense pl*asure. Their lips parted, and a sticky trail of saliva stretched between them. Reaching out, she wiped the lips that had so deeply explored her. His lips against her fingertips were incredibly soft.

He murmured in a low voice.

“Once you taste something this unforgettable, you’ll become curious about the other side as well.”

The other side?

She tilted her head slightly. Left cheek, right cheek…

Pressing her flushed left cheek against him, she whispered.

The other side as well…

“It’s okay to taste.”

She added hastily, fearing he might find her too forward.

“To understand… how a man… takes a woman…”

Flustered by her own clumsy excuse, her vision swam.

“Since I need to know.”

As Eirin muttered quietly, he glanced at her for a moment, seeming puzzled by her words. After a brief furrow of his brow, he smiled faintly after a moment.

“Ah, my adorable Eirin.”

The chuckling laughter didn’t sit well with her. Being called ‘adorable’ somehow made her feel like a child and it hurt her feelings.

“The ‘other side’ is not about left or right.”

“Then what is it?”

His lips slowly trailed down from the cheek she had offered, reaching her clavicle. His wet, hot tongue tasted the soft skin.

“For example, here.”

As Alexander’s raspy tongue traced the hollow of her collarbone, a tingling sensation swept through her entire body. Just his lips alone were maddening, but his tongue was something else entirely.

Wet, soft, and searing hot.

But it didn’t end there. His lips continued their descent, arriving at her perky br*asts. The slight stubble on his face brushed against her delicate skin, infusing her translucent flesh with color. Unable to resist the intense pl*asure, she pulled his head closer with her hands.

“Aah.”
