“Kiss my lips, Koichi.”
Kimijima Koichi shut his eyes tightly,234Please respect copyright.PENANAtLk0l7hsOV
as if trying to suppress something dangerously wild rising from within.
“…I’m sorry, my lady.”234Please respect copyright.PENANASfavfofDAS
234Please respect copyright.PENANAOUTXFghBXD
“…This… is the one order I cannot obey.…”
His voice was as gentle as ever,234Please respect copyright.PENANArddex3Rz6y
but trembling—so tightly restrained it bordered on breaking.
Suzuran froze.234Please respect copyright.PENANArKTT9tx2aR
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANA7bsGXjWmzq
234Please respect copyright.PENANALtdpBUCwgA
That wasn’t a kiss between servant and mistress.234Please respect copyright.PENANAWvLEXCEFrv
It wasn’t gratitude, or manners, or carefully restrained affection.
It was—234Please respect copyright.PENANAWOFLLXMceq
a man’s raw desire finally breaking free.
He was like someone who had finally allowed himself one moment of recklessness,234Please respect copyright.PENANASSLNNWvC8z
tearing through years of self-control,234Please respect copyright.PENANARg5YKDCYPE
releasing everything he’d buried deep inside his chest.
That kiss carried all the love, all the pain,234Please respect copyright.PENANAGlmBmDEdfG
all the things he could never say.
Suzuran froze in place, her lashes trembling.234Please respect copyright.PENANA79Ilpegdom
But in the next breath, she reached out—and wrapped her arms around him.
As if using every ounce of strength234Please respect copyright.PENANASQeGiTc7Fo
just to hold onto the man who had finally stopped running.
In that moment, she knew—234Please respect copyright.PENANApJutywv10T
She hadn’t been imagining it.234Please respect copyright.PENANATG8fp4tVJF
She wasn’t being rejected in silence.234Please respect copyright.PENANAl8vwOroEPS
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAXhUBDywgJD
It wasn’t hesitation.
It was a kiss that had been held back for far too long,234Please respect copyright.PENANAjQcbcQinnh
and now—finally—it was flooding out.
234Please respect copyright.PENANAob9oFsZE74
He kissed her hard—but not roughly.234Please respect copyright.PENANAI9lKibCQff
It was filled with longing,234Please respect copyright.PENANAOVUwS1rAOl
a tenderness pushed to the edge of madness.
One arm wrapped tightly around her waist,234Please respect copyright.PENANAP41zYcsIsg
the other cradled the back of her head, pulling her into him completely.
His grip was possessive, but firm—234Please respect copyright.PENANAAaFUYZU0SL
like someone who had waited his whole life just to hold her this way.
Their breaths tangled,234Please respect copyright.PENANAyryCDitdpN
his kiss deep and consuming—234Please respect copyright.PENANAT8O9wlCD1U
sometimes urgent, sometimes slow,234Please respect copyright.PENANAFtq12KLVKk
like waves of wordless hunger crashing over her reason.
Suzuran instinctively clutched his shirt,234Please respect copyright.PENANAy6bzR2xqhv
her body pinned against his until she could barely move,234Please respect copyright.PENANALrYJ1b0KSM
small gasps catching in her throat as he kissed her breathless.
She stared up at him through hazy eyes—234Please respect copyright.PENANAz3YIjXKH5S
his brows drawn tight,234Please respect copyright.PENANAzD6Bl76CXq
his focus locked entirely on her—
like he wasn’t just kissing her lips,234Please respect copyright.PENANAOVrSHGfNkT
but her very soul.
Those weren’t a servant’s eyes.
They were the eyes of a man who loved her.234Please respect copyright.PENANAyw85o0uHS3
Deeply. Desperately. Entirely.
Her breath hitched,234Please respect copyright.PENANAsSaiBZbTid
her chest rising and falling under his touch,234Please respect copyright.PENANAEA6Por7IbU
her body absorbing the heat of his.
She could barely think—only feel.234Please respect copyright.PENANAVNtcxCRhnU
Only let herself be kissed, piece by piece,234Please respect copyright.PENANASWVC0w1vs7
by the man she’d wanted for so long.
Every time she gasped,234Please respect copyright.PENANAKD7rLwvJ6P
his kiss only deepened, gentler yet more desperate.
He was no longer holding back.234Please respect copyright.PENANA6rqDZ0WunM
No longer retreating.
He poured everything into that kiss—234Please respect copyright.PENANA0ALmYtR1tl
his love, his grief, his devotion.
It wasn’t just a kiss.
It was defiance against fate.234Please respect copyright.PENANA3SUQae6fPp
It was a vow.234Please respect copyright.PENANAJRnJjhZ8Eg
It was the giving of a soul.
Tears blurred her vision.
She clung to him, trembling,234Please respect copyright.PENANAESYirgtkhc
her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt.
And she kissed him back.
Letting him steal her breath,234Please respect copyright.PENANAWpQQlpZtbW
just so she could be closer to him—
to the man who had finally chosen her over duty.
Their breathing tangled,234Please respect copyright.PENANAoLDEDhz8NO
their mouths meeting again and again,234Please respect copyright.PENANADGxpceGVPL
until all that remained was them.
No titles.234Please respect copyright.PENANAzhoDuf45gg
No rules.234Please respect copyright.PENANAPC9AYzDBJh
No fear.
Just her—and him.
Just this kiss.234Please respect copyright.PENANADbOIwIXVrR
Kimijima Koichi kissed her again.234Please respect copyright.PENANA03qdnQp09X
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,234Please respect copyright.PENANAT1ajyQSR3l
the deeper his kisses grew—234Please respect copyright.PENANAwfh4NtlICY
wild and unrestrained.
Like he’d fallen from the cliff of control,234Please respect copyright.PENANAU1p8pHx6Tu
and there was no going back.
“H-Koi…”234Please respect copyright.PENANAsKnRMCc2Z3
Her voice trembled as she whispered his name.
He finally stopped,234Please respect copyright.PENANAHHecVbBhhE
resting his forehead against hers.
His breathing ragged,234Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6WPjQZCZt
his brow damp with sweat.
He didn’t speak right away.234Please respect copyright.PENANAcQJSw8wD4Y
Just held her, then whispered softly—
“…Ran.”
Their eyes met.
And for once,234Please respect copyright.PENANAjIIlzVxYSR
his eyes weren’t calm.
They were burning.
She looked into those eyes—234Please respect copyright.PENANAgst8wcprLK
the ones always so composed.
But now?
They were filled with raw, aching emotion.
He looked not like a servant,234Please respect copyright.PENANAlWvjbVXwpb
but like a man who had loved her for far too long.
She bit her lip,234Please respect copyright.PENANATfeLOzsJpn
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAwYtHQv5X5V
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
She almost didn’t dare hope that the warmth she felt…
was truly hers.
He was still breathless.234Please respect copyright.PENANATn2p2rV9IG
His chest rose and fell violently,234Please respect copyright.PENANAFTdijUDhDK
as if he’d just come up from drowning.
Usually so calm,234Please respect copyright.PENANAb8tXpgvx2Z
Kimijima Koichi now looked utterly undone.234Please respect copyright.PENANAyKuZ9vkYZj
Raw.
He didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he pressed his forehead to hers again,234Please respect copyright.PENANA46CNwFDsNF
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.”234Please respect copyright.PENANAHxB0GsE1Jb
“So much I can’t even meet your eyes.”234Please respect copyright.PENANA1HzRcUxfAz
“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,234Please respect copyright.PENANAt8DOpV62XC
barely held together by pride.
He didn’t answer.
He simply took her hand—234Please respect copyright.PENANAPNwFczIaC4
gently, as always—
but this time, with certainty.
And then, he placed her palm over his chest,234Please respect copyright.PENANAYlEIMGfV5h
where his heart was pounding.
“Why don’t you see for yourself?”234Please respect copyright.PENANA9o1VBQAyg3
234Please respect copyright.PENANACQvjoUyUlQ
234Please respect copyright.PENANA34b4bsqe18
