“Kiss my lips, Koichi.”
Kimijima Koichi shut his eyes tightly,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHYUpaEoPI
as if trying to suppress something dangerously wild rising from within.
“…I’m sorry, my lady.”34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH008d9s2H
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPm0cPawnE
“…This… is the one order I cannot obey.…”
His voice was as gentle as ever,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFtjZ2LYB1
but trembling—so tightly restrained it bordered on breaking.
Suzuran froze.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3KkMJMdbC
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.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwqHGVs2uY
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Wn6z96eT
That wasn’t a kiss between servant and mistress.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMQ7Zzfs5e
It wasn’t gratitude, or manners, or carefully restrained affection.
It was—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO8Pu0rgUF
a man’s raw desire finally breaking free.
He was like someone who had finally allowed himself one moment of recklessness,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oQqhxMRn6
tearing through years of self-control,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Hvx4J5cm
releasing everything he’d buried deep inside his chest.
That kiss carried all the love, all the pain,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bl7AhyyAh
all the things he could never say.
Suzuran froze in place, her lashes trembling.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iDF4VmZ5Y
But in the next breath, she reached out—and wrapped her arms around him.
As if using every ounce of strength34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxZeeK4WPp
just to hold onto the man who had finally stopped running.
In that moment, she knew—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQUbyQ1rc
She hadn’t been imagining it.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedezY01wUt
She wasn’t being rejected in silence.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt8vBg0dKa
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.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZQrYGjOtA
It wasn’t hesitation.
It was a kiss that had been held back for far too long,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArE3M56RRI
and now—finally—it was flooding out.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQNo9pPgyC
He kissed her hard—but not roughly.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOKraP1Wyq
It was filled with longing,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5mWqiy8gF
a tenderness pushed to the edge of madness.
One arm wrapped tightly around her waist,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrQ01qnu4m
the other cradled the back of her head, pulling her into him completely.
His grip was possessive, but firm—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFk5KeKh9i
like someone who had waited his whole life just to hold her this way.
Their breaths tangled,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mubezlrTs
his kiss deep and consuming—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNBsqRRUZ
sometimes urgent, sometimes slow,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19vuQ55a18
like waves of wordless hunger crashing over her reason.
Suzuran instinctively clutched his shirt,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3HAO8Gr5U
her body pinned against his until she could barely move,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlzEQbo1zs
small gasps catching in her throat as he kissed her breathless.
She stared up at him through hazy eyes—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8V5z9giaX
his brows drawn tight,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimzTjn9O1
his focus locked entirely on her—
like he wasn’t just kissing her lips,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJthDtuZBy
but her very soul.
Those weren’t a servant’s eyes.
They were the eyes of a man who loved her.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaL9J1fWzr
Deeply. Desperately. Entirely.
Her breath hitched,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IF3bpT5xi
her chest rising and falling under his touch,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TeaRkscKU
her body absorbing the heat of his.
She could barely think—only feel.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HUqzkNo6A
Only let herself be kissed, piece by piece,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJAhV8Nx8H
by the man she’d wanted for so long.
Every time she gasped,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OqRceZLHU
his kiss only deepened, gentler yet more desperate.
He was no longer holding back.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8uTa58hWI
No longer retreating.
He poured everything into that kiss—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuloamv5mV
his love, his grief, his devotion.
It wasn’t just a kiss.
It was defiance against fate.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaAnYc3ISI
It was a vow.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NiyrxLcbN
It was the giving of a soul.
Tears blurred her vision.
She clung to him, trembling,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpyisCim1k
her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt.
And she kissed him back.
Letting him steal her breath,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hltpYV9Pf
just so she could be closer to him—
to the man who had finally chosen her over duty.
Their breathing tangled,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8cUDlyZf0
their mouths meeting again and again,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqItgZMIG
until all that remained was them.
No titles.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla5aWX9Wuh
No rules.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUC5JmJF4Y
No fear.
Just her—and him.
Just this kiss.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwBvFeIQGn
Kimijima Koichi kissed her again.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDB1pRUgCj
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,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAya3VXiOhF
the deeper his kisses grew—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WasKtDN3g
wild and unrestrained.
Like he’d fallen from the cliff of control,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKWzpRpbVW
and there was no going back.
“H-Koi…”34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI17aEwZaCq
Her voice trembled as she whispered his name.
He finally stopped,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagfOFaAZgj
resting his forehead against hers.
His breathing ragged,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXJ2aMEBoL
his brow damp with sweat.
He didn’t speak right away.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQddWP5Aevo
Just held her, then whispered softly—
“…Ran.”
Their eyes met.
And for once,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGaXcapmnI
his eyes weren’t calm.
They were burning.
She looked into those eyes—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE60bpCdbJ
the ones always so composed.
But now?
They were filled with raw, aching emotion.
He looked not like a servant,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrMMbtzVLi
but like a man who had loved her for far too long.
She bit her lip,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqjrOVYnaD
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.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIl3j6BkHj
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
She almost didn’t dare hope that the warmth she felt…
was truly hers.
He was still breathless.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT82M1Y7n3
His chest rose and fell violently,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEaISCI65T
as if he’d just come up from drowning.
Usually so calm,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GL4k4fqsf
Kimijima Koichi now looked utterly undone.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQisHjCmqrr
Raw.
He didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he pressed his forehead to hers again,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo7ETfFpZR
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.”34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz84A7oPk3O
“So much I can’t even meet your eyes.”34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmjlOIBlCy
“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,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowqlCxgjaX
barely held together by pride.
He didn’t answer.
He simply took her hand—34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgvg9BQZe
gently, as always—
but this time, with certainty.
And then, he placed her palm over his chest,34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KT9rb6oPq
where his heart was pounding.
“Why don’t you see for yourself?”34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkq0TFxRmH
