Chapter 1620 - 227 - Love and War (8)
Alice felt incredibly warm in my arms, and honestly, it almost felt like our bodies were slowly melting together as we continued holding each other. Warm breaths escaped from both of our mouths with every kiss, blending together in the small space between us. The soft, wet sounds of our tongues sliding against each other echoed ever so slightly through the quiet night, making the silence around us feel even more intimate.
"A priestess... should remain pure..." she suddenly murmured between our breaths, almost as though she had been reminding herself of something important.
"Where did that come from all of a sudden?" I asked while looking at her with genuine curiosity.
"Nowhere, really," she replied with a small shake of her head. "It’s just a mantra they’ll have us recite during the priestess graduation ceremony next month."
"So after that, you’ll officially become a priestess?"
"Yup," she answered with a gentle nod. "That’s finally going to make everything official."
"If a priestess is supposed to remain pure," I asked while continuing to look into her eyes, "then why are you doing this with me in the first place?"
"Well..." She paused for a brief moment as she searched for the right words. "The explanation behind that is actually pretty vague. The meaning of purity isn’t necessarily about what you do physically. It can also refer to your heart, your intentions, your beliefs, your words, or things along those lines."
Well, I supposed she had a point after explaining it that way.
Purity didn’t automatically mean someone had to stay a virgin forever for the rest of their life.
People could interpret that teaching in a lot of different ways depending on how they personally chose to understand it.
"Besides," she continued while giving a tiny shrug, "they don’t exactly have a way to check whether someone’s pure or not, so how would they even know?"
The way she said that made it sound like she had already accepted her own answer long before bringing it up.
Hearing her speak with that much conviction made a small smile slowly spread across my face without me even realizing it.
"What?" she asked after noticing the expression on my face.
"You sound like you’ve completely accepted what you’re about to do," I replied with a quiet chuckle. "Honestly, Alice, I never took you for such a little pervert."
"Y-You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?" she asked while sending a tiny glare in my direction that barely looked threatening.
"Shh," I whispered while smiling at her. "Keep your voice down for a little while. It’s already nighttime, and everyone’s asleep by now. If somebody wakes up because we’re being too loud, things could end up getting pretty awkward for both of us."
"W-What?" Her eyes widened in surprise before she quickly looked around. "What are you talking about? Shouldn’t we just go inside instead where nobody can see us?"
"I was actually thinking we could stay right here."
"Y-You hornball..." she muttered while her cheeks quickly turned bright red again. "Why would you want to do something like that out here of all places?"
"Because I like seeing you get fucked somewhere public," I answered honestly without trying to hide it. "Watching you become all nervous over whether somebody might hear us is honestly pretty cute to me."
"F-Fucked...?!" she repeated, her face somehow becoming even redder than before. "L-Leon... why do you always have to use such vulgar words whenever you talk...?"
"Huh?" I tilted my head slightly while looking at her. "Isn’t this basically what you’re offering me anyway?"
"Well..." She quietly looked away before answering. "I was offering this because you looked completely exhausted. I wanted you to relax and sleep better afterward."
She hesitated for another moment before finally meeting my eyes again.
"So promise me you’ll actually get some proper rest after we’re done."
She fell silent once more, still looking slightly embarrassed while avoiding my gaze again.
"Roger that," I answered with a smile. "I’ll make sure to keep that promise."
Honestly, I had absolutely no idea where any of this was going to lead us after tonight, and thinking too far ahead wasn’t going to magically give me the answer.
Still, Alice had been completely honest with me from the very beginning, and I could clearly see she was trying her best despite how embarrassed she felt.
Passing up those feelings after seeing how sincere she was just didn’t sit right with me.
With that thought in mind, I slowly lowered myself onto one knee in front of her.
"W-What are you doing?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion as she watched my sudden movement.
"Can you put both of your legs over my shoulders?" I asked while looking up at her.
She looked completely puzzled by the request and blinked several times before responding.
Even with that confusion written all over her face, she still quietly did as I asked without putting up much resistance.
She slowly lifted both of her legs before gently resting them over my shoulders, trying her best to balance herself.
The moment she did, I caught a clear whiff of her vagina, and the sweet scent reached me almost immediately.
"Ah?! L-Leon, what are you doing?!" she asked after finally realizing the position she had ended up in.
"I’m going to make you orgasm first," I told her while keeping my gaze on her.
"O-Orgasm...?" she repeated softly as her voice became noticeably quieter than before. "L-Leon..."
Her face somehow managed to turn even redder than it already was, making her look like she was about to melt from embarrassment alone.
"T-This position is really embarrassing... Please put me down before somebody somehow sees us..."
She hesitated briefly before adding one more request in an even quieter voice.
"And... please stop sniffing around my crotch like that..."
She was glaring at me now, but instead of looking intimidating, the expression only made her look unexpectedly adorable, almost like an angry little kitten trying very hard to be taken seriously.
Without saying another word, I leaned in once again while keeping her exactly where she was.
I took another slow breath near her vagina before sticking my tongue out just enough to gently lick her there.
"Haannghh...~!"
