“Kiss my lips, Koichi.”
Kimijima Koichi shut his eyes tightly,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4PgEKqnBb
as if trying to suppress something dangerously wild rising from within.
“…I’m sorry, my lady.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLli9Um9N6p
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4UwSaLFJi
“…This… is the one order I cannot obey.…”
His voice was as gentle as ever,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpahhoniSNj
but trembling—so tightly restrained it bordered on breaking.
Suzuran froze.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzOAopzb3s
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLuiG14LRT
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixPekcZtQ1
That wasn’t a kiss between servant and mistress.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC0Qdpr5Y7
It wasn’t gratitude, or manners, or carefully restrained affection.
It was—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt7xqmKKps
a man’s raw desire finally breaking free.
He was like someone who had finally allowed himself one moment of recklessness,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSoRM4m23
tearing through years of self-control,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zvCP0Pl0P
releasing everything he’d buried deep inside his chest.
That kiss carried all the love, all the pain,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEf4xTuKUv
all the things he could never say.
Suzuran froze in place, her lashes trembling.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzZxxG02V9
But in the next breath, she reached out—and wrapped her arms around him.
As if using every ounce of strength282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9CUiv7Kwh
just to hold onto the man who had finally stopped running.
In that moment, she knew—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYPKhWTSnf
She hadn’t been imagining it.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzUa4jDrLl
She wasn’t being rejected in silence.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrnFwVwWXt
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMcm7YAvM2
It wasn’t hesitation.
It was a kiss that had been held back for far too long,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBPABPcFqz
and now—finally—it was flooding out.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13V2aHg5am
He kissed her hard—but not roughly.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwqWoMeQV
It was filled with longing,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5ZgGPhjL
a tenderness pushed to the edge of madness.
One arm wrapped tightly around her waist,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKdbehN8Hw
the other cradled the back of her head, pulling her into him completely.
His grip was possessive, but firm—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGmOU9SYQA
like someone who had waited his whole life just to hold her this way.
Their breaths tangled,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWTpvm5dxY
his kiss deep and consuming—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCdDTkAFL
sometimes urgent, sometimes slow,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGDmztNiA
like waves of wordless hunger crashing over her reason.
Suzuran instinctively clutched his shirt,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZc3RGFHDe
her body pinned against his until she could barely move,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuzXRlaJyB
small gasps catching in her throat as he kissed her breathless.
She stared up at him through hazy eyes—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz37TZ2P2P
his brows drawn tight,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn3aQ86eX9
his focus locked entirely on her—
like he wasn’t just kissing her lips,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiQCleYmBF
but her very soul.
Those weren’t a servant’s eyes.
They were the eyes of a man who loved her.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uh3FIYcz
Deeply. Desperately. Entirely.
Her breath hitched,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCgdzageTF
her chest rising and falling under his touch,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5sinDTj84
her body absorbing the heat of his.
She could barely think—only feel.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e7TU2kz7B
Only let herself be kissed, piece by piece,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQoF6qI0QK
by the man she’d wanted for so long.
Every time she gasped,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznWGf2EQFY
his kiss only deepened, gentler yet more desperate.
He was no longer holding back.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJz1S1K77Q
No longer retreating.
He poured everything into that kiss—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDgsOrKLfR
his love, his grief, his devotion.
It wasn’t just a kiss.
It was defiance against fate.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEjkZtPz3C
It was a vow.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wxggBrald
It was the giving of a soul.
Tears blurred her vision.
She clung to him, trembling,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbVtOLHHr
her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt.
And she kissed him back.
Letting him steal her breath,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCHe37zvIe
just so she could be closer to him—
to the man who had finally chosen her over duty.
Their breathing tangled,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoMs1wrEqX
their mouths meeting again and again,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSyQIQ8DAn
until all that remained was them.
No titles.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoRmvJ3hYo
No rules.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysobuzPOpo
No fear.
Just her—and him.
Just this kiss.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJePEubeXn
Kimijima Koichi kissed her again.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP5xZy4j8O
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,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0RfLRYFH
the deeper his kisses grew—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvkDts3iZF
wild and unrestrained.
Like he’d fallen from the cliff of control,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbziiXyM3y
and there was no going back.
“H-Koi…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9id857AfL
Her voice trembled as she whispered his name.
He finally stopped,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbuiXogeao
resting his forehead against hers.
His breathing ragged,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALdRrkaRlc
his brow damp with sweat.
He didn’t speak right away.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51iK4HHHA
Just held her, then whispered softly—
“…Ran.”
Their eyes met.
And for once,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30oSAy7ENm
his eyes weren’t calm.
They were burning.
She looked into those eyes—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Jtym1ufD
the ones always so composed.
But now?
They were filled with raw, aching emotion.
He looked not like a servant,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf7lsiWMrI
but like a man who had loved her for far too long.
She bit her lip,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1OtHMAUjT
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPDVZnOQFZ
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
She almost didn’t dare hope that the warmth she felt…
was truly hers.
He was still breathless.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRXDpfJFCe
His chest rose and fell violently,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lILN3BqLv
as if he’d just come up from drowning.
Usually so calm,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuF61jrZZo
Kimijima Koichi now looked utterly undone.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiCHeCNhEn
Raw.
He didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he pressed his forehead to hers again,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjhIjnCXKV
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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xphlQVzoF
“So much I can’t even meet your eyes.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFMIcgr721
“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,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrRgKa9Yhw
barely held together by pride.
He didn’t answer.
He simply took her hand—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmJsJZEQrg
gently, as always—
but this time, with certainty.
And then, he placed her palm over his chest,282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymupH9vhpr
where his heart was pounding.
“Why don’t you see for yourself?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoPZDiPSjJ
