Chapter 737 The Moment
"Ariel! Wait!" Damien ran after Ariel as soon as Kenneth helped him with his trousers.
Unlike in Brenalia, the rooms for all the ladies were on the other end of the guest quarter. There was a long gallery in between the rooms for the boys and the rooms for the girls.
Damien sprinted down the gallery to catch up with Ariel, who was also sprinting towards her room.
"Ariel! Let me explain!" Damien shouted again in an attempt to stop Ariel.
But her answer was the same, "I don't want to hear anything."
Rather than believing the deceit of her eyes, Ariel was more flustered because she was sure that both Damien and Kenneth noticed her eyes moving 'down there'. It was unintentional, but she was still worried that the boys would level her as a degenerate woman.
As Damien couldn't seem to catch up with Ariel, he teleported a little further ahead of her and then turned around to face the Princess. "Ariel, will you give me a chance to explain pleas– Wait… Why do your cheeks look so red?"
"I-It's nothing," Ariel swiftly cupped her hot and red cheeks with her cold palms.
Damien stepped closer to her and then pressed his palm against Ariel's forehead while asking, "You don't have a fever do you?"
Ariel's heart jumped inside her chest when Damien suddenly touched her and showed his concern for her.
And as Damien was now standing right in front of her, all that she could focus on was his slightly parted lips.
"You don't seem to have a fever." Damien removed his hand from her forehead and then further asked, "Is something bothering you?"
He then recalled why he was chasing after Ariel in the first place. And he hastily clarified, "Ah! Right! If what you just saw is bothering you then let me explain the situation. The thing is, I borrowed these clothes from Kenneth, and since I couldn't seem to quite figure out…"
Ariel wasn't even listening to a word that Damien was saying. Her mind was somewhere else. And she didn't know what came over her or where she found the courage, but she suddenly grabbed Damien's shirt's collar.
"And he was just helping m–"
And out of the blue, Damien felt Ariel tug him down. Discover more content at empire
"Mmm…" Damien widened his eyes when he suddenly felt Ariel's soft lips overlapping over his. And his lips tickled when Ariel's lips lightly glided on his.
He closed his eyes after his mind finally registered what was happening. His heart started to beat so fast that he himself could hear his heart beating like a drum. His throat was parched with nervousness. And his mind also went blank as Ariel kept on giving him gentle strokes with her soft lips.
Damien was afraid that Ariel would stop kissing him if he tried to do anything. So instead of interfering with her pace, Damien let Ariel take the lead and do as she pleased.
Ariel wrapped her arms around Damien's neck and kept him down. She then entangled her slender fingers with Damien's fluffy hair. And slowly, she was trying to pry open his mouth so she could taste him.
But Damien was being so stiff that she felt a little frustrated trying to make him kiss her back.
So she pulled away a little and demanded Damien in a desperate whisper, "Kiss me."
Damien didn't need to hear it twice. He didn't care if they were standing in the middle of the hallway. He didn't care about being discovered by the others. If that was what Ariel wanted, then he was ready to comply.
He instantly slid his hands on her waist and pulled her closer. He pressed Ariel's body against his. And he gazed at her beautiful face.
Her needy eyes, her rosy cheeks, her hungry lips… everything about her told him how badly she wanted him.
Ariel inhaled sharply and swallowed because his demanding gaze made her feel as though she was standing naked in front of Damien even when she was fully clothed. However, she didn't mind the desire that was being reflected in his eyes. After all, that was what she wanted as well.
Damien swiftly leaned forward and claimed Ariel's lips.
And Ariel reciprocated with equal desperation. She parted her lips to welcome him in. And almost instantly, the sweet and warm taste of Damien entered her mouth.
Until now, she didn't realize how much she missed this sweet taste of his.
She wanted more. So she lightly pressed her palm on Damien's nape and pushed him deeper. And she also entangled her tongue with his and explored his mouth.
Damien couldn't explain how ecstatic he was about this moment… about this fervent kiss.
For him, this was the moment that she chose him even though she didn't say so directly. What more could he ask for from his life? He was feeling as though he was standing on the peak of the tallest mountain. He felt as though he was diving into the deepest corner of the sea.
A wave of fierce desire splashed against Damien's heart.
He slid his palms from Ariel's waist down to her thighs.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
And though they had never done this before, Ariel instinctively knew what she had to do next. She jumped and wrapped her legs around Damien's waist.
Damien swiftly tightened his arms around her waist again. And he pressed Ariel's back against the cold wall of the hallway.
Ariel inhaled sharply and arched her back out of reflex when that cold wall touched her back.
Damien's eyes fell on Ariel's slender and inviting neck. And he couldn't resist kissing the hollow of her neck.
But Ariel felt so much ticklish that she tucked her chin and giggled out loud. And she grabbed Damien by his hair and pulled him away from her neck so that he wouldn't try that again.
"Ow! Ow!" Damien grimaced in pain as Ariel was pulling his hair quite hard.
Ariel left her hold on Damien and gave a guilty smile. "Sorry… hehehe…" she kept on giggling until the rims of her eyes glistened.
And to make up for the pain that she caused Damien, she cupped Damien's cheeks and pulled him in. She gazed at his enticing lips and went in for a kiss again.
Damien smiled on her lips and passionately kissed her back.
When their blazing desire was at its peak, they heard the nearby door clicking open. And before they could pull away from each other, they heard the loud noise of utensils clanging on the floor.
They both turned their heads to the side to find Osanna speechlessly staring at them.
Ariel slid down from Damien and tried to explain the situation to Osanna, "Umm… we were just… er…"
However, she couldn't come up with a believable excuse to tell Osanna. What was she going to tell her? That she was practicing her new gripping move on Damien? Or that she was checking Damien's mouth?
She felt so flustered that she disappeared from there without warning Damien first.
Now it was just Damien and Osanna, awkwardly staring at each other.
Osanna heard a muffled scream coming from behind the door. So she pointed at the door and mouthed to Damien, knowing all too well that he would be able to read her, "I think she is in her room."
"Er…" Damien took a deep breath in and then scratched his head. After a second, he also vanished from there.
Osanna finally smiled ear to ear and thought to herself, "I think I always knew…"
