V2 Chapter 126

"You can touch me," Cian told her gently.

"Don't be afraid. Not of me."

“… …?!”

“I would never hurt you,”

She swallowed but didn't move away. Instead, she opened her fingers wider and pressed her palm more firmly against him. An expression of determination hardened her features.

“Let go of me,” she gritted her teeth, not realizing that with her returned strength, she can actually struggle free easily. However, the scent of man that wafted on her nostrils seemed to have confused her bewildered mind even more.

The way she snarled and glared at him was like a spoiled girl acting tough but actually didn’t mean it—

What is happening to her?!

Levelia continued to glare at Cian. His wavy black hair hung low over his brow, but the shadow cast by its brim did nothing to diminish the striking maroon turning crimson of his eyes due to light. They stared at her fiercely, his sensual lips drawn into a grim line.

“…I know this is sudden and will surely not exude any sort of sincerity. You might even accuse me of being fickle and indecent, a man that can easily blurt out sweet nothings just to make a woman fall in love. But that doesn’t matter. Let me be drowned in infamy and misunderstanding. All I want is for you to know that, the first time I see you… you’ve snatched my attention?”

“…what?” Levelia’s mind black.

What is he doing?

Cian’s hand become gentle as he stared at her; “You are a vision, truly, Levelia," he said with a wry smile. "I wonder that the sun dares shine and the flowers dare bloom in your presence."

“… …”

“You’re beautiful, so beautiful that the second time I saw you, you have stolen my heart in an instant,”

Wait, wait… the plot moves too fast!

Why did this suddenly become a confession scene?!

Big Bro, I just asked you to become a party member, not some marriage partner...!

Levelia's struggle didn't matter in Cian's eyes as he gazes heatedly at her; “Have I mentioned before, that I want to possess you?”

At this Levelia’s eyes was already widened to its utmost and even her face was dyed in a reddish color. Actually, this is the first time she had heard this kind of confession. Not only that, to a stranger she first met at that.

Dumbstruck, she stared at Cian staring at her with a gentle and loving gaze. Okay, let's be real here. Cian Jekyll, the youth before her was an impossibly gorgeous man, she admits. He was gorgeous that people stopped and stared when he walked by.

She thought of him as a lover boy before, a noble after all, is quite well-known for being fickle and scum who often thinks with their lower body. Power corrupted them and they would not care about any law or morality—this boy must be the same. And now his frequent–and enthusiastic–displays of affection despite meeting for the first time proved her right, but for some reason, she didn’t feel any disgust nor hatred for it.

Why? Am I so immoral that I would let a stranger affect me so easily…?

“No,” but an answer came from somewhere unexpected. Levelia stared at Cian in shock. Can he read minds? Levelia stared at Cian, shock.

Cian chuckled. “I don’t read minds, but your expressions were easy to read like an open book.”

Levelia lowered her head in embarrassment. Cian cupped her chin with her thumb and index finger, raising her head upwards to look at him; “But even still… this can also be called a meeting of minds, don’t you think? Maybe we are truly fated, why don’t you try with me?”

“… …”

“After all, I like you,”

The odds were against their making it.

Levelia’s chest expanded on a deep breath, her body responding to the proximity of his. Even though he stood closer she forgot to push him away. For some reason, she could feel the heady attraction, the magnetic pull of being near the other half of her soul. As if something within her were tugging her mind, wanting to make a decision for her—accepting it. Try it! He’s young but so what? You don’t know him but so what? Time is infinite!

Levelia’s head hurts…not in pain, though. But by something hard to explain. Once again, it’d been that way with them from the very first meeting, both of them seemed to be inexorably drawn together.

She fought the urge to crumble on the spot, feeling her knees jittery. She really couldn’t follow the rapidly developing situation between this unknown youth and her. But he was too still, too tightly reined. His hand reach out towards her face. Levelia jerked back her head but Cian’s hand still reached her and rubbed his thumb on her lips with a gentle and loving motion.

“I need you.” simple words, spoken from solemn and sincere expression.

Levelia’s core tightened in response to the roughness of his voice, the rasp of it warm and luxurious.

Cian’s words and momentum did not add up.

She knew that, but she found herself unable to argue back too strongly.

“…”

She averted her gaze and looked to the ground on her left.

And then his outstretched right arm blocked her view as he pressed his hand against the stone wall.

“…!?”

That forced her to look straight ahead again. His face was all she could see. That gorgeous face, that confident sweet smile hanging on his lips—gulp. Levelia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her heart beating wildly it’s as if there were hundred drums beating near her ears. Then, before she knew it, he moved so close it felt intimidating. And yet her heart was racing with an emotion other than fear. It pounded with excitement.

“I-I…!”

And when she looked up and opened her mouth to finally say something…

——Cian’s mouth pressed against her red lips.

“Nhhhh!?”

He had not cast any stun magic on her, yet she could not move in the slightest.

After a quick kiss that was more of a peck than anything, he pulled back.

“Wh-what are you doing!?”

He grabbed her chin and stole her lips again. At this moment, Levelia already felt that the body had already lost all strength, and couldn’t move all of a sudden. Levelia would never have expected this kind of situation to suddenly occur.

Normally, she would have shove Cian away and fight him even to the death. But when her hand touched Cian’s body, it suddenly stopped and finally, encircled his waist. It’s warm… it’s as if, it has an invisible attack that made one unable to resist him.

Levelia’s confused mind at this moment, seemed to be feeling quite marvelous, on the other hand, thought why is she responding like this? When in fact, she wished she could pull out this man’s bones and muscle and feed it to the dog for taking liberties with her. However, now why is she tolerating this shameless action and seemed to be even enjoying it?

Was she such a slut…?!

Will she be really conquered by a stranger that she met only a few minutes ago?

Levelia who was engaging in introspection was completely bewildered. What is going on with her?

This sudden action of hers seemed to have encouraged Cian and his attack become even stronger. He kissed her passionately as if he wanted to suck her dry. He let her feel how much he was bearing at this moment, that in every possible way, he wanted her.

Levelia’s trembling hit Cian’s square in the chest, spreading fire through his body. Her scent raised as well, a swirl of jasmine and rose that made his mouth water and his cock twitch.

“Nh!? Nhh! Mh, ah.” Cian gently held her upper lip between his lips and then sucked on her lower lip.

“W-wait…”

She had her spear, but she didn’t fight. It’s as if the knowledge that she can fight had already eluded her. Who was she? She was Levelia, the Red Ranker! However, that identity seemed to have turned into a lie. And instead, she had become a normal girl, so powerless, a girl that could never resist against such a monster in front of her.

With his lips sealing hers, it’s as if he too was sucking her strength like a vampire. They felt each other’s breaths as they kissed. They kissed like lovers or a married couple.

Wrapping his arms around her, he took her mouth with his tongue then teeth as he pulled on her lower lip. He leaned down and licked her neck, stopping at the pulse point before capturing the lobe of her ear. Levelia was already losing control of her consciousness as she could only moan.

When his lips covered hers again, she subconsciously opened for him, welcoming his tongue, greeting it with hers. He bent down and ground into me with an urgency that was hedonistic and raw, his pubic bone creating delicious friction on her lower body.

Levelia couldn’t help but cried into his mouth as he deepened the kiss. His lips crushed mine, seeking and searching, punishing and soothing all at once. Their tongues met for a dance as ageless as time. As she sucked on his, and he moaned, the rumble reverberating downs her body. She seemed to like by the realization that she could affect him too. It made her brave.

When he finally removed his lips, she realized she had forgotten to breathe.

“…that was amazing,” he grinned.

Levelia gasped for breath.

“W-wait. We shouldn’t be…doing this!”

Although she said that, glaring hatefully and shamefully at the youth who had suddenly violated her, the heat in her chest simply flared up even more. Her mind seemed to try to resist him. No, it couldn’t be called resistance anymore. She only resisted with her mouth, her body already accepted the stimulation. Every time she felt the writhing that kneaded her tongue, a sensation that she hadn’t felt until now attacked her.

Usually, her body wouldn’t react to something that she hated.

Although pleasures of the flesh were important, the atmosphere and attitude were also indispensable.

However—

Levelia was starved. It couldn’t be said that she was abstemious, but she had traveled with men, of which neither were her lover, for a several months already. There weren’t any chances for her to release her sexual urges. It wouldn’t have been a problem if it was just a man and a woman traveling together, but it was three men and two women.

She wasn’t someone that would allow two men to rampantly use her body at the same time, she wasn’t some virgin that didn’t know anything. As such, her body that had grown sensually stockpiled a suitable amount of desire.

Therefore, she had reached her limit.

Although she was somewhat ashamed and angry by this youth’s sudden shameless invasion, her body hungered for sex. It was in a hopeless state.

Even though she didn’t want to feel it, she felt it.

The youth before her grinned mischievously; “You stole my heart; so of course, you should feel responsible for it. Here, feel this.”

“You don’t have to sound so happy about it,” Level muttered breathlessly, trying to lighten her mood. Then, she glared at him; “You should not have done that!”

“Why not? I don’t like holding up my feelings and emotions… I don’t want to lie to myself,” Cian declared proudly.

“But we just met,”

“So what?” Cian grinned. “Sometimes, loving someone didn’t depends on time, it depends… here,” Cian grasped her hand and placed her hand right into his chest, feeling the wildly beating heart.

Thump—thump! Thump-thump! Cian’s heart was like the beating of a drum in an orchestra. Comforting, relaxing, giving off a sense of security. Levelia was so embarrassed she let go while feeling even more blood rushing to her face.

And then his lips touched hers again.

“Nh!?”

This time, he stuck his tongue in and began an intense kiss in which they shared their saliva. He sucked up her sweet, feminine-smelling saliva, mixed it with his own, and then let it drop back into her mouth.
