“Kiss my lips, Koichi.”
Kimijima Koichi shut his eyes tightly,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuhUUplzLq
as if trying to suppress something dangerously wild rising from within.
“…I’m sorry, my lady.”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQrdiGB7UV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5By2c9rO6
“…This… is the one order I cannot obey.…”
His voice was as gentle as ever,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodhpGC7uRi
but trembling—so tightly restrained it bordered on breaking.
Suzuran froze.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU7PtO1oiF
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.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV1vHstJJB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqgvYKK7Gj
That wasn’t a kiss between servant and mistress.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHscKr24Vuw
It wasn’t gratitude, or manners, or carefully restrained affection.
It was—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9uCmkODuN
a man’s raw desire finally breaking free.
He was like someone who had finally allowed himself one moment of recklessness,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK8vpGkdJ0
tearing through years of self-control,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJM2HdO7f9
releasing everything he’d buried deep inside his chest.
That kiss carried all the love, all the pain,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAeqK75tcE
all the things he could never say.
Suzuran froze in place, her lashes trembling.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGtI4PwpBU
But in the next breath, she reached out—and wrapped her arms around him.
As if using every ounce of strength30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CfGYINLmP
just to hold onto the man who had finally stopped running.
In that moment, she knew—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulS81AOBOr
She hadn’t been imagining it.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF787irDXW
She wasn’t being rejected in silence.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2LwN70hr9
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.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhRoDvSpuU
It wasn’t hesitation.
It was a kiss that had been held back for far too long,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9HKQ7MgtC
and now—finally—it was flooding out.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcNfNWyVcE
He kissed her hard—but not roughly.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCu0oIhC1j
It was filled with longing,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHG4vqp9HR
a tenderness pushed to the edge of madness.
One arm wrapped tightly around her waist,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3X6gRmRWt
the other cradled the back of her head, pulling her into him completely.
His grip was possessive, but firm—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3f0sEpITY
like someone who had waited his whole life just to hold her this way.
Their breaths tangled,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZO8EXlCZk
his kiss deep and consuming—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDszQvmfMB1
sometimes urgent, sometimes slow,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29jWdwlEhy
like waves of wordless hunger crashing over her reason.
Suzuran instinctively clutched his shirt,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITFUPllWM2
her body pinned against his until she could barely move,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht9ngXKucL
small gasps catching in her throat as he kissed her breathless.
She stared up at him through hazy eyes—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN8lqauyVs
his brows drawn tight,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNcEY1xxNB
his focus locked entirely on her—
like he wasn’t just kissing her lips,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb58Qu5ZqZI
but her very soul.
Those weren’t a servant’s eyes.
They were the eyes of a man who loved her.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNG1BDv3e
Deeply. Desperately. Entirely.
Her breath hitched,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5psi9MDGj
her chest rising and falling under his touch,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Jar0FetX
her body absorbing the heat of his.
She could barely think—only feel.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrnKdfiV4H
Only let herself be kissed, piece by piece,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnpRhcPXhY
by the man she’d wanted for so long.
Every time she gasped,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxxlTIDEP2
his kiss only deepened, gentler yet more desperate.
He was no longer holding back.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkyU7dNpvH
No longer retreating.
He poured everything into that kiss—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKH1vtd0aa
his love, his grief, his devotion.
It wasn’t just a kiss.
It was defiance against fate.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7at39TNYdd
It was a vow.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqFn4Mu3Zy
It was the giving of a soul.
Tears blurred her vision.
She clung to him, trembling,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Li8fCk9XC
her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt.
And she kissed him back.
Letting him steal her breath,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OVYAo8jQb
just so she could be closer to him—
to the man who had finally chosen her over duty.
Their breathing tangled,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ42E5ay0E
their mouths meeting again and again,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBY9ET4nbQ
until all that remained was them.
No titles.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagQyAIw9CT
No rules.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAd4X11ZuL
No fear.
Just her—and him.
Just this kiss.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7oL1OjaVv
Kimijima Koichi kissed her again.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT2PrpuYCb
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,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0XnU29wBK
the deeper his kisses grew—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaC7mqIguv
wild and unrestrained.
Like he’d fallen from the cliff of control,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZbc4OeD5M
and there was no going back.
“H-Koi…”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhepTTrybj5
Her voice trembled as she whispered his name.
He finally stopped,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BGPl8scNX
resting his forehead against hers.
His breathing ragged,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5qWR9IfhF
his brow damp with sweat.
He didn’t speak right away.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOEp6oz83B
Just held her, then whispered softly—
“…Ran.”
Their eyes met.
And for once,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5y8brQLv
his eyes weren’t calm.
They were burning.
She looked into those eyes—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZFIX2Y22s
the ones always so composed.
But now?
They were filled with raw, aching emotion.
He looked not like a servant,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTJbdRVt6J
but like a man who had loved her for far too long.
She bit her lip,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLAjM9JyK9
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.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4hb1YjWyl
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
She almost didn’t dare hope that the warmth she felt…
was truly hers.
He was still breathless.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH5SHAFYkM
His chest rose and fell violently,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VhtIHcWTv
as if he’d just come up from drowning.
Usually so calm,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6bpLdslE
Kimijima Koichi now looked utterly undone.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4GYuk4Np1
Raw.
He didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he pressed his forehead to hers again,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ4ewRe8Et
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.”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8KszTRnnx
“So much I can’t even meet your eyes.”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3psO4tlAKi
“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,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoFAechnJp
barely held together by pride.
He didn’t answer.
He simply took her hand—30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDQ4YBpgav
gently, as always—
but this time, with certainty.
And then, he placed her palm over his chest,30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHxoPGQ0Up
where his heart was pounding.
“Why don’t you see for yourself?”30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETZviAOLjy
