This time, Yurina felt soft lips touch her collarbone. His breath tickled his skin, and Yurina shuddered.

Raynard removed Yurina’s hand from covering her eyes and pressed his lips to hers. A deep-rooted sense of possessiveness oozed from the red eyes staring at Yurina. The feeling was a strange one that she had never experienced before.

Yurina was a little embarrassed, but didn’t show it. But what’s more embarrassing than that is that she doesn’t hate this possessiveness.

Rather, it turned out to be a joy for her.

“Then shall we wear another dress?”

“It will the same even if you wear a different dress. I just don’t want to expose you to the people. What if everyone falls in love with you?”

“Does they really fall in love?”

Yurina laughed, but his expression remained serious.

“It’s quite possible. You don’t know, but I know how many times people asked about you who you met at the academy.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“So what did you say to them?”

Yurina was interested in a new story. It wasn’t that interesting who showed interest in her, but rather Reynard’s reaction to it.

In those days, they weren’t even a couple, not to mention sorting out feelings for each other.

“What else could I say? I told them to get lost.”

For some reason, his stern and straight face came to mind. Yurina laughed out loud, while Reynard narrowed his eyes, apparently unhappy about something.

Yurina quickly caught the change in his expression and gently rubbed his shoulder.

“And what if they fall in love? After all, I’m all yours.”

“I still hate it.”

He rubbed his face against Yurina’s shoulder, just like a child complaining.

“And what if you don’t like it? Are you going to lock me up where no one can see me?”

The answer Yurina expected was ‘It won’t happen’. However, the answer she got from him was very surprising.

“I would do this if I could.”

“What?”

Yurina pinched Reynard’s cheek. And although it was painful, the latter didn’t show it. This angered Yurina even more.

Yurina moved her hand to the side. His soft and supple cheeks now stretched like dough.

“There is no sound! What did you learn from the academy while I was gone? Now you say you’ll lock me in a cage?”

“It’s just how I feel, it’s not like I would really do it.”

Yurina tugged harder on his cheek. Reynard’s mouth extended horizontally. Since his expression was serious, his distorted face became even more funny.

“You can’t even name it like that. It’s an obsession.”

“So what if it’s an obsession?”

His pronunciation was a bit slurred due to his stretched cheeks. He looked at Yurina and smiled.

“I can’t wait to secure that title and tell people about us. I wish to be with you always, and not look back at others.”

It was the same with Yurina, so she nodded instead of commenting.

“We have to be patient a little more.”

“It’s hard to wait.”

Raynard sighed and whispered softly.

“Yurina, kiss me.”

“Let’s see how you get it.”

Yurina wanted to tease him for some reason, which is why she responded so harshly.

“And what can I do to deserve it?”

“Hmm, well. Will you listen to my request?”

“All I do is listen to you. I even picked up the clothes for the party.”

“Hmm, yes, but…”

“Hmm?”

However, when Yurina just looked at him and didn’t kiss him, Raynard gently rubbed his palms over her protruding shoulder blades as if urging her on.

Yurina gently stroked his face with her palm. His once-white cheeks were now reddened, because she had overdone with strength before.

“Does it hurt?”

“Not at all.”

Raynard responded immediately and closed his eyes. Seeing this, she again wanted to play a joke. Instead of kissing his lips, Yurina kissed the bridge of his nose with a loud sound. Raynard frowned, clearly unhappy with this maneuver.

“Not there.”

“You don’t like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but I think it would be better if you do it here.”

Raynard patted his lips with the tip of his finger, eyes still closed. Once again, instead of complying with his request, Yurina gently rubbed his lips with her thumb. His long, thick eyelashes fluttered with the tickle.

Yurina continued to tickle his lips while smiling. It was then, Raynard opened his eyes and bit the finger that was moving back and forth across his lips. It was a little revenge for being teased, but it wasn’t painful.

When Yurina tried to remove her finger, he swallowed it even deeper.

“Ray. Don’t play around.”

“You did it first.”

He muttered, still holding her finger in his mouth. Every time he spoke a word, Yurina squirmed with itching as his tongue touched her fingertip. Reynard stared into her eyes with his half-open eyes and bit her fingers with his teeth.
