Chapter 46: Friends?
Chapter 46: Friends?
The view was breathtaking, almost otherworldly.
It was as if she had been sheltered for so long that her body remained untouched and perfect, like a forbidden fruit waiting to be tasted.
The way her breasts jiggled with each movement, their roundness and fullness captivating his gaze.
Her shaven armpits, smooth and inviting, begged to be touched.
And then there were her nipples, the round areolas drawing his attention, but it was the sight of her inverted nipples that sent a surge of desire coursing through him.
'Goddamit! I love Inverted nipples!'
He was completely mesmerized, his fingers continuing to tickle her skin almost on autopilot.
"Pl-please st-haha...hahaa..."
She cried out, her laughter mixing with pleas for mercy, but Kaisen's attention was fixated on her breasts.
He couldn't tear his eyes away, watching as they bounced and swayed with each movement, the sight driving him wild with desire.
They seemed to beckon to him, begging to be touched, kissed, and sucked on, and he found himself longing to fulfill their silent plea.
Then, as suddenly as it had begun, he stopped tickling, and Esmeralda came to a halt, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.
She glanced up at his lust-filled crimson eyes and felt a shiver run down her spine.
Swallowing hard, she watched as he leaned in slowly, his hot breath grazing her face, sending a wave of anticipation coursing through her veins.
"There's nothing I wouldn't give up just to make you mine, princess. Look at you? Look at your body? It's a sin not to fuck you. A crime not to claim you. Not just for flesh, but for your heart as well. I want it to beat for me and me alone."
Esmeralda's breath caught in her throat as she listened to his words, her heart pounding in her chest.
"W-why? I-I have a crooked leg, can't you see? The only thing you could want is my body, maybe because you're desperate. But since you have access to that nice lady, I don't think that's the real reason. So why? Why are you saying such things to me?"
She asked, a faint glint of hope shining in her eyes.
"Do you know what sex is?"
He inquired, lowering his head and gently rubbing his nose against hers.
"Y-yes. I've...uh... I've watched it. Pervert stuff."
She replied hesitantly.
"No, princess. What you watched is just lust. Sex is when two people become one, soul and body, heart and heart. It's more than just lust, princess. It's about connection, intimacy, and love."
"B-but lust is what you have, right? Touching that nice lady...Alice...and me too."
Esmeralda countered, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Princess, I'm a pervert, yes, but I'm also a lover. A hopeless romantic. The moment I saw you, my heart skipped a beat. You're beautiful and hot, princess. I want to claim your heart too, not just your body. If you let me."
Leaning in, he whispered, gently pecking her nose.
"Liar! What about that lady? You grabbed her ass in public, and now you're confessing to me?" Esmeralda accused.
"A man can't have multiple lovers, is that it? Is your worldview so narrow-minded, princess? Don't worry, Alice is special. She's my lover, yes, but that doesn't mean I can't love others. Love isn't confined by boundaries or rules, princess. It's expansive and boundless."
Bullshit. horse crap. Human Poop.
Just lots and lots of bullshit was spewing from his mouth.
"Bullshit! Get off me. You're only after my body. Everybody needs something from me, but nobody..."
Esmeralda's voice trailed off, her gaze turning away in frustration.
Kaisen released her and settled on the bed beside her, a small gap between them.
Esmeralda hurriedly sat up, her fingers fumbling as she securely tied the towel around herself, her movements slightly frantic.
Then, he reached out his hand to her, a gesture of warmth and understanding.
She hesitated for a moment, uncertainty flickering in her eyes as she searched his face for answers.
"We had a bit of a rocky start, but I'm willing to turn over a new leaf and be friends with you. Real friends. What do you say, princess?"
"Friends? Why? Are you trying to get something from my mother?"
Esmeralda responded skeptically, her guard still up.
He rolled his eyes, feeling exasperated.
This girl was turning out to be more of a pain in the ass than he had anticipated.
Her trust issues were no joke.
"No, princess. I genuinely want to be your friend. It's as simple as that."
"Lies! Everybody always needs something from me. Just be honest, you pervert."
"Kaisen."
"Huh?"
"Kaisen. My name. You can't keep calling me pervert, can you? We're gonna be friends, right princess?"
He grinned at her, warmth in his eyes, and Esmeralda looked at him for a moment, considering his words.
"Give it a chance. I won't ask you for anything. I won't pity you. I will treat you like how I treat Alice, alright?"
He leaned in, a mischievous grin playing on his lips as he watched her reaction.
Her mind suddenly flashed back to the image of him grabbing Alice's ass, and a blush crept across her face.
"No! Not like her! Treat me better!"
She blurted out, her hand flying to cover her mouth in shock.
'Gotcha!'
He thought, a satisfied smirk crossing his face.
"As you wish, princess. Friends?"
He asked, extending his hand towards her once again, a genuine smile now lighting up his features.
Esmeralda looked into his eyes, searching for any signs of deceit.
Finding none, she slowly reached out and clasped his hand in hers.
"Friends..."
"Good. Princess, can I call you Esmeralda?"
"Uh...sure. But call me Emma. Not Esmeralda."
"Okay, Emma. Nice to meet you. Now, friends are supposed to talk about everything, right?"
"Uh...sure."
"Then tell me, princess. Emma, what's up with your crooked leg? All this magic and wealth in this world, and you still can't cure it?"
A heavy silence settled over the room, the question lingering in the air like a weighty cloud, casting a shadow over their newfound friendship.
