“Don’t touch me.”
Kiss roughly swatted away my hand and turned over as if refusing to deal with me. As the towel I’d carefully dampened with warm water rolled on the floor, I wore a momentarily choked expression before speaking in an irritated voice.
“What are you so dissatisfied about? It’s better to at least lower your fever.”
“Doing something I didn’t ask for isn’t kindness, it’s masturbation.”
“Then just stay still so I can masturbate a little.”
“I don’t want to go along with your masturbation.”
After staring expressionlessly at Kiss who was gently refusing for a moment, I gripped the towel that had fallen on the ground. Then, unable to contain my rising anger, I raised my hand as if I was about to throw the towel.
‘Kiss at this time period is…’
My raised hand trembled in midair. After taking one deep breath, I barely managed to calm my heart filled with murderous intent. Of course, Kiss had never asked for it, but still, that attitude of treating all my actions done out of consideration for him as hypocrisy was infuriating to the point of madness.
‘He becomes annoyingly troublesome enough to want to kill.’
I wanted to just push him out the window. But I couldn’t do that because I felt sorry that he was going to stand guard without sleeping in that physical condition. When he was in his right mind, he seemed to have a somewhat gentler personality, but apparently since he didn’t have the composure to act due to his high fever, his original personality was coming out.
‘Hm?’
Just as I was suppressing my boiling anger, I narrowed my eyes at something sticking out from under the blanket.
‘Judging by how it’s swaying left and right, that’s definitely… a tail.’
After gulping down my saliva, I carefully examined Kiss’s condition again. Above the head of Kiss, who was sleeping soundly while breaking out in cold sweat, I could see white tiger ears. It meant he was in such a defenseless state that he couldn’t hide his true form.
I forcefully suppressed the laughter trying to burst out.
‘Damn, if only I could show this defenseless appearance to FluffyChron’s devoted readers.’
In the original work, Kiss thought it would be better to die than show this appearance to someone. Because the closer beastmen got to their animal form, the more they lost their rationality.
For Kiss, who could only be satisfied when he was perfect, losing his rationality was like a death sentence. Just as I was thinking it was a momentous day and started to smile slightly, I let out a sigh.
‘Actually, I know this isn’t the time to be laughing, but…’
Of all things, to fall with Kiss to the lowest level of the Void where Deus’s heart is. It was the worst development for me, who somehow had to reform Deus and make him an ally. If Kiss found Deus’s heart, he would immediately try to eliminate it, and Deus would somehow try to protect his own heart. A collision was a foregone conclusion. I yawned widely and tossed and turned. As my tension eased, an unprecedented fatigue rushed in.
‘…Let’s sleep for a bit and think about it when I wake up.’
I slowly closed my eyes while looking at the back of Kiss curled up with his back to me. When I woke up, I earnestly wished that Kiss’s condition would be okay.
* * *
Whoosh.
I felt a cool breeze and slowly opened my eyes. The wind was rushing in as if the window had opened during the snowstorm. I thought about just ignoring it due to the drowsiness rushing in, but if I left it like that, the fire in the fireplace would surely die down too. I grumbled and struggled to get up.
‘It wouldn’t be right to ask a sick person to close it.’
The window was next to the bed where Kiss was lying. I inevitably climbed onto the bed to close the window but stopped. Kiss, who I didn’t know when he had woken up, was staring at me.
“The window opened because of the wind…”
“…”
“You’re not my type either, Kiss-nim, so don’t worry.”
After deliberately finishing my explanation calmly, I closed the window. It wasn’t particularly an awkward atmosphere, but somehow I became conscious of it. Just as I was about to get off the bed again, my body tilted at Kiss’s hand suddenly grabbing my wrist. Kiss, who had been looking at me with a blank expression, opened his mouth.
“Come a little closer.”
“What?”
“Closer.”
It was a tone somewhere between a command and a request. After making a puzzled expression for a moment, I leaned my body closer according to his demand. Just as I was listening carefully thinking he was going to tell me a secret, my eyes widened at the hand that grabbed the nape of my neck without warning. Before I could ask what he was doing, our lips met.
“Mmph…!”
The tongue forcibly pushing between my lips swept over my teeth. I couldn’t pull my body back because of the large hand arbitrarily pulling my thigh. As I struggled to get away, Kiss’s top that had been hanging around his chest rode up. The exposed abs pressed against Ash’s flat lower abdomen in an instant. The wet sound made as the tongue was helplessly sucked made my face burn.
“Hk.”
The moment I turned my head short of breath, my body fell backward as if he’d been waiting. And our bodies overlapped without a gap. I was gasping for breath when I stopped and froze from the pain of my body being crushed by Kiss’s weight. I felt tremendous heat from him as he buried his face in the nape of my neck and breathed in deeply. His heat condition, which had seemed to be improving, appeared to have rather become more serious.
“S-stop! Even for heat, you should be in it with someone you like!”
I pushed away Kiss’s face in a state where only one hand was free. Kiss, who had been glaring at me with unfocused eyes while one cheek was pressed, muttered in an amused voice.
“What’s your type?”
“Ugh…”
“You say you like me, but you don’t tell me why you like me.”
“…”
“Tell me, what’s your type? I’ll catch someone who fits perfectly and bring them to you.”
I steadied my breathing with a flushed face and bit down hard on my lower lip. It was a clear expression of refusal as if I wouldn’t answer.
Kiss, who had been silently looking down at me like that, struck the bed with his fist. Along with the sound of the spring bursting with a clang, the bed shook.
My body trembled unconsciously at Kiss’s fist with bulging veins. If that large fist had struck my head instead of the bed… just imagining it made me feel like I’d piss myself.
‘What the hell did I do wrong to deserve this?’
Anger suddenly rose in my mind that had been stained with fear. All I did was take care of Kiss who was sick in bed and close the open window in case he caught a cold.
I’d known for a while that Kiss didn’t look kindly upon me, but I thought I at least hadn’t done anything wrong enough to be threatened like this, which made me feel even more wronged and pitiful. The accumulated grievances burst out all at once and the string of rationality snapped. After trembling my lower lip for a moment, I snapped back with a face grimy from sweat and tears.
“First of all, I absolutely hate people who act high-handed like this.”
“…”
“No, anyone is fine as long as it’s not you!”
Kiss, who had been motionless the whole time, flinched. The moment I captured that moment, I immediately bit down hard on Kiss’s hand. At the unexpected counterattack, just as Kiss grimaced and tried to pull his hand away, the balance of power collapsed and the bridge of my nose struck hard against Kiss’s knuckle.
Thud!
I gasped with a surprised face at the pain that made my vision flash. Kiss was just as surprised. Not long after, at the nosebleed flowing down my philtrum, Ash muttered in a trembling voice.
“B-blood…”
“…”
“You hit me… you hit me…”
At the pain I’d never experienced before, a pitiful-sounding voice came out unconsciously. Kiss, who had been looking at that appearance with an unimpressed expression, suddenly grabbed my waist. Just as I was sobbing pitifully, my mind went blank at my underwear being helplessly pulled down along with my pants. Kiss spoke in a calm voice.
“Sorry about this while you’re bleeding, but I’m about at my limit.”
“…”
“I need to do what needs to be done.”
After finishing speaking, Kiss flipped my body over. And after gripping my struggling hair, he shoved my head into the bed so I couldn’t get up. Since I couldn’t run away due to my fixed upper body, all I could do was struggle while my waist was raised up. An ominous light settled in Kiss’s eyes watching that scene.
“Keep your legs together properly.”
“…”
“If I can’t come, I’ll use your hole.”
Just as my strength was gradually draining due to my face being shoved into the bed, the arm that wrapped around my waist forcibly raised my hips. I flinched slightly at something hard rubbing between my thighs. Kiss grabbed my chest like that and bit down hard on the nape of my neck. It seemed to be an instinctive action. Only after the nape of my neck was bitten did I stop struggling and sniffled. The blood that went down my throat was salty.
“Uh, mmh.”
The penis rubbing between my legs making sticky friction sounds stimulated subtle sensations. It was rough hip thrusting that felt like it was an act purely for ejaculation, with no romantic intention included at all. When the penis rubbing between my thighs slipped and poked at the hole above, I squeezed my eyes shut completely.
“Fuck.”
Kiss, who had been grumbling in irritation at the thirst that wasn’t quenched no matter how much he rubbed his penis, eventually grabbed my hair and turned me around. An unprecedented wildness sparked like electricity over eyes that always had rationality in them. Kiss, who pushed his thumb into my mouth and pulled it wide to the side, caught and drank the saliva flowing down my jaw. And then pressed our lips together again and sucked on my tongue.
‘From now on, during this bastard’s heat period…’
After being roughly rubbed against his ferociously swollen cock indiscriminately for several hours like that, I realized.
‘Never go anywhere near him.’
An intense lesson based on experience.
