At the coquettish, rich voice, I unknowingly rolled my lips and bit them. To say such cringeworthy words right to my face—it wasn’t for nothing that people said he was shameless. Thump thump. The sound of my heartbeat rang louder in my ears than before.
As if hearing the pounding sound, Ruvlian let out a small laugh. The ticklish sound of laughter and breath touched my ear. It felt like being among cherry blossom petals scattering in the swaying spring breeze.
Since I wasn’t responding at all, only the ticklish sound of laughter rang in the room. Soon, Ruvlian who stopped laughing lightly bit my earlobe in the strange atmosphere and whispered enticingly like a nine-tailed fox coaxing a person.
“Sihyeon, I want to kiss you too.”
Hot breath mixed with his completely relaxed voice. I opened my mouth a beat late.
“……Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Mm. Why is this nonsense? Let’s do it, hm?”
Grinning with folded eyes, Ruvlian brought his face close as if to kiss me again. Since his stubbornness was considerable, it would be useless to try to stop him with words. I covered my mouth with my hand.
Then Ruvlian slowly kissed the back of my hand. Deliberately making sounds, he rolled his eyes and looked at my face intently. He seemed to be enjoying my reaction. Having his lips touch the back of my hand was something I had experienced often, so I wondered if there was any difference. It was just that I wasn’t used to him rubbing it intensely.
No sooner had I thought that than a red tongue emerged from between the lips rubbing heavily. It gradually moved up from the center of the back of my hand, reaching between my index and middle fingers. Then it moved back and forth forcefully and slowly as if poking between them. The slippery sensation was vivid along with a little wet sound. My face flushed hot at the act that somehow felt obscene.
I wanted to pull my hand away and withdraw my body, unused to the sticky tongue play, but my wrist was already caught. From the time of the kiss, a firm arm had been wrapped around my waist.
“Ruvlian.”
I called his name to stop him, but as if stimulating something instead, his tongue moved a bit more and swallowed the lower part of my index finger. The moist heat was transmitted directly. As the hot, thick sensation became clear on my index finger, the eyes above the heated blue eyes drew an even more slender line.
The stimulation was too excessive. Having never dated even once, my head turned white at the sticky skinship. My mind was hazy. Strangely, breathing was difficult.
Soon Ruvlian tilted his head and completely swallowed my index finger. Then he moved his head little by little. Slowly licking, then sucking hard. I couldn’t come to my senses at that unfamiliar sensation of being rubbed against the wet roof of his mouth due to saliva. I only realized my hand wasn’t covering my mouth when I felt a soft sensation on my lips.
“Really can’t?”
Since our lips were touching, I could feel the movement of his lips directly. It was a voice somehow burning with impatience. Additionally, the blue eyes that I had only felt were clear seemed incomparably deep. It seemed to be a change due to yearning and desire.
Since I wasn’t answering rashly and kept my mouth closed, he lightly bit my lower lip as if asking me to open it. It was as if urging an answer.
“You don’t want to?”
A hollow laugh flowed out because his eyes were filled with certainty that couldn’t be the case. Soon a soft tongue with hot temperature entered through that small gap. It entangled the tongue trying to escape backward and sucked it with wet sounds. Then it endlessly moved its tongue, evenly sweeping over my teeth, wet mucous membrane, and roof of my mouth. My ears were occupied by the sticky obscene sound, and saliva I couldn’t swallow flowed out of my mouth.
“Uh, mm.”
A moaning sound I couldn’t even imagine I made flowed out. My face became hot all at once. Seeing me like that, Ruvlian openly revealed his pleased mood without hiding it. The tongue swimming in my mouth licked and sucked every corner as if it were an explorer. Because he relentlessly pressed on, the wet sounds didn’t cease.
Soon, unable to find when to breathe at all, I ran out of breath and tried to pull my head away while gripping Ruvlian’s arm tightly. Then he slowly pulled his mouth away. A thin thread formed and then snapped, but I couldn’t raise my face. If I measured my facial temperature with a thermometer, it seemed like it would easily exceed 40 degrees.
“Haa. Ha……”
Breathing heavily and gradually coming to my senses, I couldn’t raise my lowered face. What was I thinking doing such a thing? The me from a moment ago must have been as crazy as Ruvlian. I felt like I was almost adrift, swept away by the atmosphere.
“I really like it so much……”
An ecstatic voice wet my ears. Ruvlian kept kissing my lips with a beautiful eye-smile. Because my lips were wet with saliva, each time they touched, not only was there sound but threads stretched. I tried to use cleaning magic out of habit, but realized we were inside the temple, stopped, and wiped my lips by rubbing them with the back of my hand.
Come to think of it, the alarm sound that had been ringing due to Ruvlian using dimension travel magic was no longer audible. Something was strange. A mage had intruded, yet no one came to see the room where the Hero was.
What caught my eye was Ruvlian tightly embracing my waist with both arms, in a good mood even though his lips were blocked. He rubbed his forehead against my shoulder, spitting out the words that he was so happy several times.
“Sihyeon.”
“What now?”
“Sihyeon took my chastity, my premarital purity. So shall we go to my world and have the wedding ceremony first?”
Ruvlian, who had cheeks as if pale-colored flowers had bloomed and hazy, relaxed eyes, imitated a dog’s whine again. Who’s the one with premarital purity? If he’s going to play tricks, he should do it with something plausible. I was dumbfounded.
“Mm. Why is there no answer? Let’s do it, yes?”
Burying his lips in my neck too, Ruvlian spoke gently. It could sound like a child’s whining at first glance, but his voice was pretty and soft, so it didn’t sound like that. It felt like a little coquettishness was added.
When there was no answer, soon Ruvlian began to use a honey trap. He softly curved his eyes, and dense, clear golden eyelashes swayed gently. As he slowly blinked, the blue color of his eyes in the shadow created by his eyelashes became even clearer.
“The wedding ceremony should definitely be held on a spring day, right? Should I adjust the time period to spring and travel?”
Perhaps because of that, even hearing the crazy talk about deciding on a season and dimension traveling to that time, I couldn’t scold him to stop talking nonsense. Ruvlian had to be grateful to his parents for giving birth to him like that.
It was the moment I was about to tell him to shut his mouth instead. The door opened and the parallel world Ruvlian revealed himself. Though he had a smiling face, it was revealed that his mood was foul. Soon his parched red lips opened.
“To be rubbing lips in the temple…… Was that your taste, darling?”
“Looks like you don’t know my honey’s taste. This is my taste.”
Ruvlian who struck back with a snide remark also held a slightly smoother smile at the corners of his mouth. It seemed a war of nerves was about to start.
“You, why are you imitating something that doesn’t even suit you?”
I pointed out the thing that caught my attention. ‘Darling’ was a term of endearment only the parallel world Ruvlian used before turning back time. The sudden change after pretending to know nothing until just now, and though it’s hard to explain, he was subtly different from the him I knew. Additionally, his eyes were clear. Far from being consumed by madness, only interest circled around.
“I thought you hated me from before turning back time, but you noticed. Seems like you didn’t actually hate me, darling.”
A languid voice containing worthless content that didn’t need to be heard spread. Just as I, who was consistently ignoring him, was pondering what to do with Ruvlian, a light kiss fell on my neck. Then mana suddenly entered all at once.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t given me mana earlier. Before I could even ask, Ruvlian smiled beautifully and said.
“I wanted to kiss you purely, not make contact for mana transfer.”
I bit my lower lip tightly at the feeling of my stomach tickling. To say such things with such an expression. The cooled heat seemed to be slowly rising again.
“Ah, and Rian can’t go.”
“Why are ‘you’ deciding about ‘our’ business?”
Ruvlian clearly distinguished with ‘our’ and ‘you.’ Despite being divided, the parallel world Ruvlian didn’t lose his leisurely composure. Rather, he tapped his own arm with his index finger and approached toward the bed, drawing an elegant line.
Soon he stared directly at me. When he reached his hand toward my head, I blocked it and he narrowed his eyes a bit more. The curved eyes remained the same.
“As you expected, the Evil God remains in me.”
As expected. The Evil God was still parasitizing the parallel world Ruvlian. Though the divine realm said they would resolve it on their own, it wasn’t immediately. I didn’t know what he would do. As I was predicting the possible outcomes of what he might do, soon a slow, subtle whisper was heard.
“If I die, the Evil God will take over my body, so even if this brat doesn’t know, Rian will care. Because the entire human realm will be destroyed.”
“……”
“Strangely, dying isn’t that scary.”
The low murmur was sincere. I don’t know what happened, but there must have been an error somewhere in the magic to turn back time. Or can emotions remain unlike memories? It was ambiguous, but the next words continued so I postponed my thoughts.
“Anyway, I became curious. What’s the reason I saved you dozens of times, even throwing away my life? It’s interesting but…… is there such value?”
“So stay by your side?”
If I don’t want the Evil God to descend to this world?
When I asked flatly, an affirmative answer immediately returned. I could see Ruvlian was about to step forward immediately, but I stopped him appropriately. That side can kill us, but this side can’t kill him because of the Evil God. If we kill him, the Evil God will emerge and lead the world to destruction.
The parallel world Ruvlian who would commit suicide and summon the Evil God if I didn’t listen, and Ruvlian with the obsession that seemed like he would finally take me to his world and hold a wedding ceremony together.
……If I had to choose, the latter was naturally more to my liking, but this was troublesome. Since the God said it would take at least a year just to deal with the Evil God.
