“Kiss my lips, Koichi.”
Kimijima Koichi shut his eyes tightly,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDEaFCoos
as if trying to suppress something dangerously wild rising from within.
“…I’m sorry, my lady.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1dJXxVqxt
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeA2NoOV4Q
“…This… is the one order I cannot obey.…”
His voice was as gentle as ever,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwwqdz2PMb
but trembling—so tightly restrained it bordered on breaking.
Suzuran froze.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkXdWwOxsH
Then tears spilled from her eyes—just as he added quietly:
“…This is my personal will.”
And in the very next moment—
his lips came crashing down.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhLgHm9edS
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL0jdQs9wu
That wasn’t a kiss between servant and mistress.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZ0Yz49ta
It wasn’t gratitude, or manners, or carefully restrained affection.
It was—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr21MtwDVL
a man’s raw desire finally breaking free.
He was like someone who had finally allowed himself one moment of recklessness,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnCdM2WXe1
tearing through years of self-control,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3OWJa2fDq
releasing everything he’d buried deep inside his chest.
That kiss carried all the love, all the pain,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Ymig4WQG
all the things he could never say.
Suzuran froze in place, her lashes trembling.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCd1smRgtB
But in the next breath, she reached out—and wrapped her arms around him.
As if using every ounce of strength66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifrSMI8wd
just to hold onto the man who had finally stopped running.
In that moment, she knew—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwFzhuuhWE
She hadn’t been imagining it.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmrIN9Td1S
She wasn’t being rejected in silence.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCcfqBGdNe
She hadn’t been loving alone.
The man she loved… had finally kissed her back.
The moment his lips touched hers, Suzuran forgot how to breathe.
It wasn’t a brush.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqc17ZBuVB
It wasn’t hesitation.
It was a kiss that had been held back for far too long,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezcOnM60Dh
and now—finally—it was flooding out.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8gikfDhx
He kissed her hard—but not roughly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tvvyO7eb0
It was filled with longing,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07otDsvIlf
a tenderness pushed to the edge of madness.
One arm wrapped tightly around her waist,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh5fdRyhKW
the other cradled the back of her head, pulling her into him completely.
His grip was possessive, but firm—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVboIwxCqX
like someone who had waited his whole life just to hold her this way.
Their breaths tangled,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr1k4XbDAu
his kiss deep and consuming—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5k41tq2NA
sometimes urgent, sometimes slow,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLFEGpdRVa
like waves of wordless hunger crashing over her reason.
Suzuran instinctively clutched his shirt,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE5MOFedve
her body pinned against his until she could barely move,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPm0D0h8cC
small gasps catching in her throat as he kissed her breathless.
She stared up at him through hazy eyes—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefVZfBgTr
his brows drawn tight,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHK01c2dVH
his focus locked entirely on her—
like he wasn’t just kissing her lips,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcnpxfU0mk
but her very soul.
Those weren’t a servant’s eyes.
They were the eyes of a man who loved her.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQXPJGpYD
Deeply. Desperately. Entirely.
Her breath hitched,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOd20fIOuJ
her chest rising and falling under his touch,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3JKvz8vhB
her body absorbing the heat of his.
She could barely think—only feel.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zGKjMUcq
Only let herself be kissed, piece by piece,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6DxlDmdEn
by the man she’d wanted for so long.
Every time she gasped,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mKlnRDr25
his kiss only deepened, gentler yet more desperate.
He was no longer holding back.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBG0Io5Hdz
No longer retreating.
He poured everything into that kiss—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhxvLMyzQp
his love, his grief, his devotion.
It wasn’t just a kiss.
It was defiance against fate.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLYGhKJ33X
It was a vow.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxumVT4LcZe
It was the giving of a soul.
Tears blurred her vision.
She clung to him, trembling,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfwPP83Q4b
her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt.
And she kissed him back.
Letting him steal her breath,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZakskUSeQv
just so she could be closer to him—
to the man who had finally chosen her over duty.
Their breathing tangled,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJAGWXFzb
their mouths meeting again and again,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7uEv1dIeg
until all that remained was them.
No titles.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy68HtNFz5
No rules.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5U04Dqt5g
No fear.
Just her—and him.
Just this kiss.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYtEQJfYbY
Kimijima Koichi kissed her again.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlE5ARLvy7
And again.
Pulling back only to return to her lips like he couldn’t bear the distance.
Suzuran gasped, barely able to speak.
The more breathless she became,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRIrQcAOpM
the deeper his kisses grew—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qfti1SMsg
wild and unrestrained.
Like he’d fallen from the cliff of control,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc4F2EygWS
and there was no going back.
“H-Koi…”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGCiJsDcVL
Her voice trembled as she whispered his name.
He finally stopped,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTWSQ1Losc
resting his forehead against hers.
His breathing ragged,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95EbXhyaDp
his brow damp with sweat.
He didn’t speak right away.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u8np4mxNU
Just held her, then whispered softly—
“…Ran.”
Their eyes met.
And for once,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraHjHj4LEP
his eyes weren’t calm.
They were burning.
She looked into those eyes—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVrPRpFsjw
the ones always so composed.
But now?
They were filled with raw, aching emotion.
He looked not like a servant,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbkXyH1la
but like a man who had loved her for far too long.
She bit her lip,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nDufIfxiq
then finally asked the question that had haunted her for so long:
“…Koichi, do you—really love me?”
Her voice was barely above a breath.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeiGJzlDmd
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
She almost didn’t dare hope that the warmth she felt…
was truly hers.
He was still breathless.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OfJsRP2jL
His chest rose and fell violently,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOSic1BM4J
as if he’d just come up from drowning.
Usually so calm,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NtkoF8opL
Kimijima Koichi now looked utterly undone.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQmeQYgr4F
Raw.
He didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he pressed his forehead to hers again,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAiEpWFMjO
eyes closed tight, as if enduring something painful.
Finally, his voice came—hoarse, shaken:
“…I wasn’t supposed to love you.”
“But I’ve loved you—this whole time.”
“So much I can’t stop.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFtAKaO8Wp
“So much I can’t even meet your eyes.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkIe6aEcZX
“So much I’ve had to use everything I have to hold it back.”
His voice trembled.
Like the words weren’t just spoken—
but torn out from a bleeding wound.
Suzuran whispered:
“I thought… I was the only one whose heart was racing.”
“I thought it was just me…”
“A one-sided love.”
The words fell from her chest like a sob,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wJgV0sTYx
barely held together by pride.
He didn’t answer.
He simply took her hand—66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDxvTwkZEr
gently, as always—
but this time, with certainty.
And then, he placed her palm over his chest,66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJMqXf0g9Z
where his heart was pounding.
“Why don’t you see for yourself?”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunCrrMSttt
