It must have taken a few hours before Ryan woke up from a nap. The moment he did, though, he felt emotions rush throughout him.
He was under the blankets. And a soft body laid against him, her naked chest pressing against his own side. Her face was hidden in his neck, her legs and arms wrapped around him.
Kaelith!
Immediately, Ryan took a deep breath. Then, he hesitantly looked at the naked beauty with a complicated face.
She looked to be blissfully asleep.
Naked and in his arms.
He had been single for so long, the fact that a woman would be sleeping naked beside him just made him feel foreign. The fact that they were not repulsed by him for some unknown reason made him feel this was all surreal. But at the same time, his familiarity with the woman that was in his arms made it make sense.
She was Kaelith.
His woman.
His childhood sweetheart. The person who had seen him with a snotty nose, the person who had seen him when he was just a crybaby. The woman who had been his quasi-care taker for years. It was obvious that she would lay in his arms. This was destined to happen.
It should have happened earlier.
Man, is this love? He wondered as he felt her warmth.
Beautiful. She was way too beautiful. Way too warm. Way too good to him!
I love her…
And.
I am allowed to expect love back.
He kissed her neck.
And.
I am allowed to express it.
She stirred and slowly opened her eyes. "Is it morning already..." she muttered as she looked at him.
Usually, the girl would have looked away in shyness, but now, there was more laziness and comfort in her amber eyes.
Of course, the shy blush appeared the moment she understood her situation. She was naked, pressed against Ryan's body—who happened to be naked as well.
She tried to move away but he didn't let her. He wrapped his hand around her tender waist and pulled her towards himself.
"Don't you dare run away," he said with a smile. "Tell me, how was it?"
She blushed and hid her face in his chest. Then, she muttered: "It was bad! Too bad!"
Ryan's face scrunched up. "Don't lie. You were moaning!"
She bit his chest and he hissed in pain. "I was not moaning!" Then, she looked up at him with a weird expression. "Who bites a person's ears so much anyway."
Ryan blushed. "It looked cute."
Her expression became even weirder but after a while, she just leaned up and kissed his jaw. Ryan was overwhelmed by the warmth of it to reject at all.
Then, she moved higher and her nose touched his nose. Their eyes met.
Kiss.
His arms tightened around her waist.
"Why did you do it out of nowhere?" She complained. "I was so shocked!"
Ryan kissed her again.
"Who told you to tempt me by sleeping on my bed?"
She was struck speechless. "You did that because of that?!"
"… I guess? I thought you wanted my company in bedz"
"Idiot prince, stupid prince!" She kissed him again. "The goblinette is sleeping in my room, so of course I didn't feel like sleeping there. I came to ask you for guidance and just fell asleep waiting for you!"
Ryan kissed her back again. "Well, it doesn't matter."
"It does!"
"Why?"
"… I don't know alright? But it does matter!"
"Wasn't it a good accident?"
She thought for a second, then nodded with a blush. But then, she shook her head frantically. Ryan pulled her into another kiss.
After they calmed down for a while, both feeling immense affection for one another, she once again laid on his chest. But unlike earlier, she traced his face with her hand.
"So, would I become pregnant now?" She asked curiously.
Ryan's face changed. "No way, right?"
She smiled. "I don't know, Martial Artists are said to be very fertile. I am a Martial Artist after all, so who knows?"
Ryan squeezed her butt, making her yelp. "Don't tease me—you can barely even be called a Martial Artist."
She was just a Rune 4 Martial Artist after all. That was merely level 4. And even her Martial Techniques were all quite weak.
Kaelith pouted. "I am still better than you."
That only made him smirk. "But I was not the one crying for me to stop. What was it again…" he chuckled. "'My prince, stop, stop please!' Heh. Or was it, 'not there Ryan, not-not there~."
She became completely pink. "That's because you played with my nipples!"
"Are they really that sensitive?" He became curious. "You freaked out with such a little touch."
She covered her nipples, staring at him warily. "Yeah, they are very sensitive."
Ryan could not be blamed for gaining an immediate, intellectual curiosity in that. "What will happen, if I suppose, someone licked it for a few minutes?"
"I won't give them to you." She scoffed. "Touching is already so uncomfortable." His hand moved subconsciously but she smacked it away. "You are not a child."
So cute.
Just as Ryan was about to try whether she really would give it to him or not though, a knock rang from the door.
They both became statue.
Kaelith, especially, paled.
"Are you here Ryan?" A shout echoed from outside. "How long are you going to make me wait?!"
Ryan gulped. "It's Sera."
Kaelith immediately pushed him away and left his arms. She fumbled into the bathroom, closing the door with a panicked thuf. Ryan watched in curiosity. A second later, the girl stumbled back out to take her clothes.
"You look beautiful naked, no need for clothes when we are alone," he teased.
"Shut up you pervert." Then, she stared at him, blushed at his focus on her boobs, and said, "Don't worry, it's just a lick or two, I will give them to you tonight."
Her nipples were perked up. So pink, so beautiful. So soft looking. She ran back into his bathroom, this time closing the door softly.
Little Ryan stood right up.
"Are you in there?!" A shout. "Open up already, you trash!"
"Oh shut up!" He shouted back. "I am coming, wait a second!"
