Chapter 147: Chapter 75.1

yernia was helpless.

cassian grabbed her cheeks with both hands and tilted her head back to engage her more deeply.

she should have gotten used to guiding him but this time, the act felt more dangerous.

perhaps, it was because they were doing it at night or her horror had already subsided.

after all, the two of them were in this particular situation.

also, yernia wasn’t able to guide him for a week.

cassian’s condition could have driven them to the point of exhaustion.

there must have been days when cassian had only taken inhibitors but since yernia’s guiding had been halted for a week, the situation might have worsened.

despite that, cassian’s approach felt too gentle that it was almost an illusion.

he couldn’t seem to wait for her guidance but it also felt like he was waiting for that secret contact where they could feel each other fully and share each other’s breath.

it didn’t feel like he wanted any guidance tonight because cassian looked like he really wanted to kiss her instead.

at least, that’s what yernia thought.

“yes.”

cassian’s tongue slid between her parted lips and slow danced against her tongue, tickling the inside of her mouth and infusing fire through her veins.

when the hand holding yernia’s cheek slid down to her neck, their bodies, which were facing each other, slowly tilted to one side.

his moist lips washed against hers before he bit her hard.

after the short kiss, cassian withdrew.

yernia appeared like she had fallen asleep as she lay in bed next to cassian.

since their faces were hairbreadths away, cassian’s lips brushed against hers each time he spoke. “does it feel good, yernia?”

to yernia, the kiss felt really different than usual.

obviously, the intimate contact was gentle and soft, but somehow, she kept running out of breath and her legs would tremble.

despite clearly recognizing the circumstances, yernia pretended not to know. “yes… please do more….”

she hadn’t drunk any alcohol but it felt like she really did.

her confused brain was trapped in a sensual fog that she wondered if the kiss had melted away all reason.

yernia preferred not to think about it too much and just followed her heart’s desire.

“say it again.”

cassian crashed his lips against hers before putting enough distance between them to encourage her to talk.

his eyes grew darker as he regarded her lips, which were redder than usual due to the kiss a minute ago. his adam’s apple also bobbed up and down.

“i can’t say it twice.”

“do you like kissing me?”

as she looked into his eyes in contemplation, yernia nodded after a while.

what’s the point of having to repeat it if he heard it the first time?

yernia was craving for more kisses and caresses rather than having to answer his questions.

she must have gone insane for thinking they were wasting time for not doing any of those.

anyway, why was she considering this as a kiss instead of just guidance?

what the hell?

she must have gone really crazy.

even so, yernia couldn’t let go of her greed because all she could see as this moment was his lips.

cassian’s lips, which she hadn’t even thought about before they kissed, were particularly red.

the way it moved drove her insane with want that it was making her dizzy.

“shall we do something else? i can make you feel better——-”

at best, cassian would probably ask if she wanted to kiss him again, so she answered before he could finish his sentence.

“uh-huh. uh… wait a minute.”

half a beat later, cassian’s words finally entered her head but it was too late then.

“yes. i wanted to do it, too.”

“for a moment——”

“i’m glad you said so.”

cassian’s hands clutched yernia’s gown.

that was all he did but a thousand butterflies fluttered inside her stomach.

cassian smiled with his eyes and whispered, “aren’t you curious, as well?”

how could a person’s smile bewitch and mesmerize her?

“what?”

“was my name not really inked on your skin?”

yernia couldn’t respond.

in the past, she was certain that it would never show up.

the moment her name appeared on cassian’s body, everything she knew became tangled and twisted.

“i think it’s there. you just didn’t find it. it won’t make any sense if it only appeared on my body.”

“… … .”

“what do you think?” cassian asked.

he lowered his face to her neck, inhaling her scent as if the answer didn’t matter to him.

his lips brushed against the spot connecting her neck and shoulder.

“it could be found underneath your clothes.”

“if you were there with miyana and ren, you wouldn’t have seen it, either.”

“how long did they look at your body? they might have missed it because they were too busy preparing for your bath.”

this was her only chance to push him away because she knew they were headed to dangerous territory.

yernia was still in her right mind despite the mind-blowing kisses they just had.

however, she didn’t want to push cassian away not when he was staring at her with such feverish eyes, as if he wanted her and only her.

“i’ll check every nook and cranny. i can also teach you how to guide me properly.”

she couldn’t understand what the word meant.

yernia carefully adjusted her front as cassian continued burying his head in her neck.

he didn’t seem to care at all as his hot breaths tickled her ears and throat, making her shoulders shrink.
