Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leah looked up at Ishakan, her breathing ragged. This man looked so beautiful in the dark, and he was even more lovely by moonlight. It took an effort to steady herself and slow her breathing when his golden eyes were looking at her, suffused with pleasure.

“Why are you moving your lips so much?” He whispered softly, licking her lips. “It provokes me to kiss you.”

It felt unfair that he should blame her when she wasnt doing it on purpose, and his hands slid down to squeeze her butt0cks.

“Y-your hands…” She protested, blushing, and he let go of her backside and hugged her again. Tears welled just from being in his arms, and Leah pressed her lips together. She couldnt stop the tears from filling her eyes and finally spilling down her cheeks.

“…Leah?”

She buried her face in his chest. She didnt want him to see her crying, but Ishakan grabbed her chin and lifted it, forcing her to show him her tear-stained face.

“Do you hate kissing me that much?” He asked.

“No!” She said tearfully. His lips moved around her eyes, brushing her wet lashes, and even this made warmed her inside. She closed her eyes, sobbing.

Ishakan ignoring her felt worse than she had ever imagined. The sight of his back turned to her had made her so uncomfortable, even though nothing at all had happened. Maybe there was a voice inside her that was terrified that this man would never look back, once he turned away from her. And one simple kiss had meant so much, she had sobbed with relief.

It might have seemed silly, but not to her. Suddenly she understood something so deeply, it was as if it had been carved on her heart.

I cant live without this man.

She rubbed her face against his chest to hide her tears. Her emotions had been all over the place lately, it seemed like everything made her cry. And as she was trying to pull herself together, something twisted in her abdomen.

It was a strange sensation in her belly, a fluttering like something was moving inside her. Her hand went automatically to the place, and she could feel it under her fingers. Something…moving.

“……!”

Leah paled. When she had felt something like this before, she thought it was because of Cerdinas tea. But she wasnt drinking that anymore, so it shouldnt be happening, but…she felt it move again.

Even as she froze in shock, Ishakan quickly covered her hand with his.

“What?” He asked urgently, searching for whatever was troubling her. “Does it hurt?”

“No…” She said, as his big hand rested against her belly. “Something is…moving in my stomach. I thought it was because of that tea…”
