Ch 75
“Ugh…….”
Killian didn’t kiss her as gently as usual. He explored her lips with a sense of urgency, and he ruthlessly pressed into her mouth, which was reluctant to open easily. Soon, Aria dropped the sponge because of the bubbles and slid onto his chest.
“Hah…….”
“Aria.”
“Eup.”
After calling her name for a moment, he impatiently pushed his flesh into Aria again. The water filling the bathtub was chillingly cold. The cold water splashing on her waist made her body tremble. As if her reaction was amusing, he hugged her tighter, and his movements, which were exploring her mucous membrane, were persistent.
“Ugh…….”
Her moans sounded as if she was in ecstasy, so he invaded deeper and untied the towel behind her waist. She was flustered when the towel she was wearing like a short evening dress slipped off, but she became drowsy for a moment because his touch on her shoulder and stroking of her arm felt warm.
“……Hah.”
The water was cold. The cold water was now rising to the middle of Aria’s waist, who was sliding down as if embracing Killian.
Behind her, there was the sound of rushing water, and in her ear, she could hear the murky sound of Killian squishing and rummaging inside.
She gently bit his flesh with her canine teeth to make him move away from her.
Then, Killian chewed on her lower lip as if he found it amusing, and then he groped inside again. Then, he carefully explored the groove on the roof of her mouth, pressed down on it, and bit her lip again.
“Eup…….”
Aria followed his actions without even realizing it hurt because the pulling of her bitten lip was too intense.
Then, Killian laughed because he found it cute that Aria was following him. Aria came to her senses when he laughed and explored her lips, and she pushed him away.
“St, stah, eup……!”
But he was still not satisfied. So, he pushed his thing into her mouth again.
And he stroked her perfectly exposed round, white shoulders with his palm.
She was feeling colder and colder because of the cold water, but she was unknowingly leaning on Killian’s body, whose body temperature had risen because of the poison, which was the opposite of the water temperature. Then, he traced the outline of her shoulder blade with his hand that was touching her shoulder. Then, he grabbed her hair tightly and tickled her back.
“Ugh.”
Aria didn’t know which to stop first, the outlaw invading her mouth or his hot hand tickling her back. Her entire focus was on the towel that was hanging precariously around her chest. She didn’t know when he had untied it like this.
“Th, hah…….”
When she parted her lips and lifted her gaze, her neck was bitten.
“Stop it!”
“Yes.”
He answered and then bit her neck with his teeth.
“Eek!”
He found Aria’s shrill scream to be very pleasant no matter when he heard it. So, he pressed his lips on the spot where he had bitten her neck hard as if to soothe it, and then he moved persistently as if applying saliva. Then, she trembled and tried to move away from him.
Her collarbone and shoulders were already covered with the cleanser foam that Killian had applied.
“Ah……!”
She flailed one of her lost hands like a herbivore that had been bitten on the neck, and she tightly closed her eyes in fear.
“It hurts!”
When Aria said that, even though she wasn’t really in pain, he stopped his actions for a moment. Then, he moved away from her and looked into her eyes.
“Does it really hurt?”
“Th, that’s…….”
He looked at her neck, which had turned bright red from where he had bitten it. It was even beautiful, as if a flower petal had landed on it.
Aria felt like Killian had already seen through her lie. Because of her heart that was happily trembling.
“I want to do a little more.”
“At this rate, we’ll both catch a cold!”
Killian laughed at Aria using a cold as an excuse. Because even while saying that, she wasn’t letting go of his shoulder that she was holding tightly.
But the water was really cold, and now it was up to her chest.
“Aria.”
“Yes?”
“I want to kiss you.”
“Ah, that……!”
Aria was startled by the flesh touching her lower body and tried to get up. She was somehow too embarrassed, so it was hard for her to face him any longer. But her body was heating up, and a strange feeling that it would be okay every time he touched her was making her head spin.
—Splash!
With that sound, she slipped into the water that was up to her waist as her thighs were pushed back when she was flustered and moved backward. Then, when she got up, her towel had completely come undone and had flowed behind her back.
“Ugh!”
“I thought you were going to wash me, but you’ve gotten even dirtier.”
“This is because of Killian……!”
“May I kiss you?”
“No!”
He smiled and stepped back for a moment when he didn’t expect Aria to accept but she refused. He wanted to kiss her and make her realize what she really wanted. But the woman in front of him was too much of a coward for that.
“Then, please continue washing me.”
“But you made me drop the sponge!”
“I’ll be careful next time. Use a new one.”
“……..”
Aria was glaring at him, forgetting to cover her body, and then she was looking for the towel that was covering her chest. It was already in Killian’s hand.
“Give it to me.”
“If Aria kisses me first.”
“……Why do you like kissing so much?”
“Does Aria not like my kisses?”
“……I don’t know.”
Aria was anxious that her trembling voice would be heard.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to be taking a bath with me like this, Killian?”
“Why would I be embarrassed? I don’t know well because it’s my first time.”
“If it’s your first time, wouldn’t you be more embarrassed?”
“Is it because it’s Aria’s first time that she’s embarrassed?”
“Ah…….”
She didn’t know. If it was the original Aria Dolorein, she wouldn’t be like this. But it would be Killian’s first time. Because he was someone who originally extremely disliked anyone touching his body.
“Le, let me put this down.”
“If you let go of my hand too, it will be too painful for me.”
“……..”
Aria covered her chest with her free hand. But he had already captured her white nakedness in his eyes.
However, Aria was a little flustered because Killian seemed to be more embarrassed than she was.
—Trickle
The water that had risen to near her shoulders began to flow over the edge of the bathtub.
“You’re trembling.”
“The water is cold…….”
“I’m hot, though.”
“……..”
She somehow found it strange that he seemed to be sincere when he said that. She couldn’t let go of his hand that was holding hers. He moved his hand that was placed on top of hers to his chest while holding her hand very tightly. A violent pulsation that was the opposite of the cold water could be felt under his chest.
“Ah…….”
“It seems like I can hear Aria’s heartbeat too.”
“Th, that’s Killian’s.”
“I see. Both are mine then.”
She was embarrassed that her body was getting warmer as she listened to his heartbeat. But Killian, whom she was looking at in confusion, also had a very red face. He had a nonchalant expression, but his neck was red. And his ears were so red.
It was to the point that his Adam’s apple could be seen moving as he swallowed dry saliva in the cold water.
“It’s hot.”
“It’s too cold!”
“Then, Aria should get hot too.”
“Ah……. Now that I think about it, I think I’m getting hot…….”
Aria’s body was trembling because it was cold, but her head and chest were hot, so she felt strange. So, she said that on purpose. Actually, she wasn’t hot or cold.
On the other hand, he seemed to be really hot. Because everywhere that was touching him was hot.
“How long do I have to keep this on?”
“Please bear with it a little longer. It feels like the poison is coming out because we keep touching.”
“……..”
“You can let go if you want me to die.”
Aria couldn’t let go because she thought that he might really die if she let go of his hand.
She was bothered by the strange flesh that she could feel under her buttocks. But she was trying to ignore it and was acting as if nothing was wrong while placing her hand on Killian’s chest.
It still felt good when she touched him. But Aria was nervous that her honest body would be caught reacting because his body was reacting too honestly.
She didn’t dislike this situation. It was just too much for her, and it felt trembling and unfamiliar because it was her first time.
“I want to look into your eyes.”
“What are you going to do by looking…….”
“What do you think I’m trying to do?”
“You’re probably trying to torment me.”
“Why would I?”
“Killian is…….”
He grabbed her hand very tightly and then let go.
“Ugh…….”
“Yes, what about me?”
“Killian, I think your personality is a bit bad.”
“Pfft…….”
Even though his hand was released, Aria’s heart was pounding because the sensation of his hand that was pressing on the back of her hand remained.
“I want to tie my hair up.”
Aria said that because she couldn’t stand the silence that came when his hand was released. Anyway, her hair was wet and swaying on her body, and it was tickling her skin.
“No, I want to see your hair getting wet too.”
“Why are you so mischievous?”
“It’s all Aria’s fault that I’m acting like this. If Aria had been a little kinder to me in the first place, I wouldn’t have been like this.”
“……..”
Aria looked at him because she thought that he wasn’t being sincere with her. But strangely, he was looking at her and smiling with a purer face than when he had lost his memories. As if he didn’t even know what kind of expression he was making at her.
“What will change if I treat you kindly?”
“A lot will change.”
“What will change?”
“The way I treat Aria will change.”
She didn’t want to believe his words.
But she was unfamiliar because she already knew that she was believing him. Her head was telling her to remember the original him, but her heart was intoxicated by the fluttering he was giving her and didn’t want to refuse it.
Besides, his actions that seemed to be sincere with her seemed too sincere to be seen as a lie.
“How will it change?”
“Try it if you’re curious.”
“How?”
“There’s also the method of kissing gently.”
“Ah…….”
Her hair that had flowed down over her chest was tickling her, but she was relieved that her body wasn’t completely visible.
Then, he brought the cleanser with his long arm and placed it in her hand.
“Or, you can continue washing me. My arm still hurts.”
“What does this have to do with the test?”
“Both are kind actions.”
“Then, if I just wash you without kissing you in the future, will that be proof?”
“You can do that if you’re planning to dry me out to death.”
He was smiling brightly again and looking at her. Aria somehow found it strange, even the sound of his loud heartbeat that she could hear in her ear, and even her faint pulsation mixed in with it.
“Why would you dry out to death?”
“It’s clear that you want me to die since you’re making me say even the reason.”
“That’s not…… That’s not it…….”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“……Yes.”
His gentle voice sounded like a hallucination.
“You won’t eat me up……, right?”
She asked as if to confirm. But he didn’t answer and smiled.
