Growing Feelings (12)

“I also want to ask you a favor.”

“Please tell me.”

Cecil grinned at Rowena as she sat and paid attention.

“I know we’re still engaged, but I’ve been scolded by you, my fiancée. Will you teach me how to kiss?”

For a moment Rowena’s face turned red.

“W-when did I give you a hard time…?!”

“I didn’t get a compliment, did I?”

“You didn’t even kiss me!”

Cecil smiled as Rowena raised her voice. She thought that his mischievous smile was so handsome that she wanted to hit him.

“I know I didn’t kiss you, but why did you get so angry?”

Rowena was at her wits’ end. She didn’t know why she was angry, but Cecil seemed to know why.

“So, why don’t you teach me to kiss?”

She wanted to pinch that smiling face but she felt like she wanted to make sure that the last kiss really made her feel that good, or that she was just surprised and mistaking it for a good kiss.

Rowena hesitated, and Cecil looked at her with satisfaction. He felt half-successful just because he wasn’t rejected.

It’s not that she didn’t like him either. He didn’t know if she liked it, but at least the kiss didn’t seem unpleasant. That alone made Cecil feel like his stomach was melting.

Cecil rose from the seat across from Rowena with a pleasant smile. He grinned at her as she gave him a startling look.

“You can do anything to me… Why don’t you teach me enough not to be bullied by my fiancée?”

She couldn’t believe he was going to be like that! It was a complete sham. Besides, wasn’t Cecil much better at kissing?!

“Well, it’s not your first time!”

“It’s my first time. You are the woman who will take all my firsts.”

It was the same with kisses, he felt excited the first time when he saw Rowena. Maybe his first love and his first experience would be Rowena.

The thought of it made his whole body feel like it was on fire.

“You lie. How could you be so good at it if it was your first time…?”

Rowena, who was talking casually, covered her mouth in a gasp. Cecil bent his eyes joyfully.

“You liked it, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t say it was good!”

“So you didn’t like it? Why don’t you tell me so I can fix it? Where and how did you hate my licking? Biting your tongue…? Do you like me biting your lips?”

This was not about teaching kisses, it was about teaching himself Rowena’s favorite kisses. It was that way for Cecil, but it was different for Rowena.

Cecil quickly sat next to Rowena who closed her mouth and could not answer.

Rowena became tearful and dodged to the edge of her seat. Cecil didn’t get up after seeing it.

“W-why are you sitting here?!”

“Isn’t it better to sit next to you to teach me how to kiss?”

“I’m not going to kiss you!”

Then he can do it. Cecil looked at Rowena, holding back what he wanted to say. Rowena was half flustered.

She’s so cute.

Rowena was the first woman that made him feel like swallowing her, and maybe she’d be the last?

“You can do whatever you want. You can pinch my face, bite my lips, and I’ll take it all. Do whatever you want me to do.”

She thought she wouldn’t do anything. Cecil’s words made her want to do it. She wanted to pinch that cheeky face and bite those neat lips and thought she’d want to touch the nose a little.

But this was the crown prince of this country. How could she do that?

“That’s…”

“You’re the only woman in this empire who can do that to me. If we get married, you’ll fall asleep in my arms every night. Is this all that scary?”

The snorting face was arrogant. She always wondered what confidence this man had.

Wasn’t one supposed to be worried when it came to firsts?

He just thought Rowena, who looked at him with resentment, was cute.

“You really want me to pinch you?”

It bothered her to see him smile with a nonchalant face. Cecil glanced at Rowena’s hand with an unpleasant thought, as she reached out to his face.

Kiss.

Rowena was surprised at the kiss on the fingertips and pulled her hand back.

“Y-you said you wouldn’t do anything!”

When did I make that promise?

But Cecil didn’t bother to remind her of that, there was no need to chase her away already.

“I didn’t do anything. Is kissing the tip of your finger considered something?”

Rowena pinched him in the face because she hated him for being brazen. Still, when she pinched him, he had a lovely smile on his face, and Rowena lightly placed her lips on Cecil’s. She expected him to hug her at once, but he was patient.
