“W-why do you say it like that? All we did was sleep next to each other!”
“That’s not all, though.”
“…Pardon?”
The moment Yeshion asked, Eldis lowered his head slightly.
Closing the distance until their breaths nearly mingled, Eldis deliberately made a small smacking sound as he softly pressed his lips against Yeshion’s before pulling away.
“We did something like this as well.”
“You, you were clearly asleep at the time…!”
“I was only half-asleep. So it only came back to me much later.”
After Yeshion died, Eldis had replayed their memories over and over again. When he thought he might go mad if he didn’t bring forth even the faintest of memories hidden behind hazy recollections, Eldis finally recalled that moment.
Overcome by exhaustion and unable to control his emotions, he’d kissed Yeshion.
“At the time, I asked you something.”
“…..”
“Next time, would you please allow it?”
Eldis’s large hand gently cupped Yeshion’s cheek.
Leaning forward like he had that night in bed, Eldis kissed those soft lips again, feeling sweetness so intense that it tingled on his tongue.
Drawing back just slightly, Eldis brushed his thumb softly against Yeshion’s lips.
“…Please say yes.”
“To w-what…?”
“Say that you’ll do with me what you did with the Crown Prince.”
His heart thumped violently, as if it might burst at any moment.
Without missing a beat, Eldis caressed Yeshion’s waist. His large hand brushed slowly upward along Yeshion’s ribs, making him shiver slightly.
The touch was deliberately slow, as if meant to awaken his senses, leaving Yeshion struggling to suppress the quiet moan threatening to escape his parted lips.
“Don’t bite.”
Eldis murmured before extending his tongue to slowly lick across Yeshion’s lips, causing Yeshion’s face to flush even more deeply.
Just when he thought his face might actually burst into flames, he heard Eldis’s heart pounding loudly through his thick robes. Eldis, too, was trembling with nerves just as much as he was.
Because of that, Yeshion couldn’t immediately respond, repeatedly meeting Eldis’s gaze before shyly turning away again.
When Eldis’s patience seemed about to snap, Yeshion cautiously asked with round, anxious eyes:
“Is it for the same reason as His Highness…? To confirm whether you like me or not?”
“Haven’t I already told you?”
“……”
“That I already like you.”
As Eldis answered, he continued to press soft kisses onto Yeshion’s skin.
The warmth of those kisses landed gently on his forehead, nose, lips, and cheeks, as though begging him not to reject him, pleading to be accepted.
‘I don’t know…’
But Yeshion felt conflicted.
‘Do I…like Eldis?’
If asked whether his heart fluttered right now, the answer would undoubtedly be yes.
But if asked whether Eldis was always on his mind, if he always wished to be by his side, if he truly felt the depth of love—he didn’t have a definite answer yet.
“You don’t need to give an answer right away.”
“……”
“You only need to know that I like you.”
“But…”
“Because I intend to seduce you with all my strength.”
As he spoke, Eldis gently bit Yeshion’s lower lip, sending an electrifying shiver coursing through him from head to toe.
Seeing Eldis looking at him with such earnest eyes, as though desperately pleading for a chance, Yeshion squeezed his eyes shut.
It was silent permission.
“Thank you.”
Eldis whispered softly, before slipping his tongue between Yeshion’s slightly parted lips.
The soft tongue gently entwined with his, coaxing out a sweet taste that only deepened as their kiss grew warmer. Each time Eldis explored his mouth, Yeshion’s slender body trembled slightly.
He carefully tapped against the roof of Yeshion’s mouth, ran his tongue slowly along his teeth, then pressed their tongues together again, prompting Yeshion’s restrained moans to finally slip free from his delicate lips.
The emotions Eldis had carefully held back flooded out uncontrollably.
In that instant, Eldis wanted nothing more than to strip away these thick layers of clothing, grasp that slender waist firmly, spread those legs wide, and delve deep into his tight, narrow depths. If he did, wouldn’t Yeshion call out his name in that lovely voice, crying sweetly?
Their lips remained locked, tongues deeply intertwined.
Swallowing every moist sound and every one of Yeshion’s breathless moans, Eldis stayed pressed close, sharing their heated breath.
