Chapter 88 – Late-night Shenanigans (1)

“I see,” Eugene finally said, “Forgive me, I must sound so silly.” she laughed it off slightly, trying to brush off whatever growing concern the king was having.

Kasser nodded at her before looking away, his gaze trailing along the bottom of the railing, trying to hide the relief he was feeling. He thought it was a good thing she endured everything rather quietly, and had not felt rejected. He decided to change the topic as he assessed the height.

“I haven’t exactly measured just how high I could jump,” he began leaning over the railings as he watched the bottom floor, “But I think,” he pulled away and turned to her once more, “I could jump this height, even with you in my arms.” he declared, and Eugene quirked up a brow…

“Really?” she had been shocked, as well as reluctant to believe him. But when he burst out laughing, she narrowed her eyes at him, giving him an unamused stare. “You think I’ll get scared with a little height?”

She’d never been afraid of heights, and she wasn’t about to start now. In her world, she had ridden the most extreme rides in the amusement parks such as rollercoasters and many more without feeling stressed about it. When Kasser remained skeptical of her bravery, she stood beside him, looking down and then right back at him again.

“Alright, let’s do it!” she declared and Kasser raised a brow at her.

“Don’t underestimate how high up we are.” he pointed out, and Eugene nodded.

“I know.” she said, “And it seems like fun. Shall we?” Kasser frowned.

“You’re bluffing.” he accused.

“Not at all.” Eugene replies confidently, “I don’t fear much.” she stated, before remembering she was supposed not to know anything about her past, “At least, it feels like I don’t have many fears.”

Kasser mistook her amendment for a sign of fear, and began to feel mischievous as he gave her a devious grin. Immediately, he grabbed her around the shoulders, and picked up her legs from beneath her knees, hauling her close to his chest.

She let out a gasp of surprise as she looked up at him with wide eyes. He picked her up like she weighed nothing but a paper doll. Her arms tightened around his neck as he hopped up the edge of the rails, balancing with expert ease.

“Don’t cry when this is over.” he teased, and she shot him an unamused stare.

“I won’t.”

“Are you sure? You don’t want to stop?”

“I’m ready. Jump whenever you are ready,” she goaded him, her eyes glinting in anticipation. She even looked a little mischievous than usual, which made Kasser’s heart feel mysterious. To keep that look on her face, Kasser could feel he could jump at any height a thousand times over.

He had agonized quite a while over something similar just a while ago. However, he didn’t take it seriously right now even though he knew a small deviation was so serious because it would lead to big consequences.

Kasser didn’t want to disappoint her, so he wasn’t going to back down now. Eugene took in a deep breath, and held it as Kasser stepped forward, and finally jumped over the railing.

Eugene felt her stomach plummet the opposite direction, enthralled with the way the Praz wisped around their bodies. The blue flame whipped around them, surrounding him and her… Devouring her.

Everything seemed to progress in a slow motion, so enthralled, she completely forgot the sense of falling.

Kasser had landed gracefully on the ground in an upright position, with her secured in his arms. When his feet touched the ground, there was no noise, almost like gravity had no hold over them.

Slowly, Eugene finally unwounded her tight wrap around his neck, blinking slowly as the adrenaline rush soon dissipated, and her fast beating heart finally steadied once more.

“Are you alright?” Kasser asked with concern, and Eugene gave him her brightest smile in response.

“More than alright,” she gasped out happily, “It’s the best I’ve ever felt!” she gushed, giving out a breathy laugh, when it was cut off by a soft sensation against her lips. Eugene gasped as she felt it, and realized Kasser was kissing her.

The light hearted feeling gradually changed as his lips moved against hers, and Eugene fluttered her eyes closed and gave in.

The innocent mood changed into one of passion.

And Kasser pulled away. They stayed there, silent and staring into one another, until Kasser surged forward once more, capturing her lips with another passionate kiss. Her heart was beating hard once more, that she feared it would burst out of her chest.

Ever since the Lark ambush had ended with Kasser returning safely, she had been anxious about him sending a servant to her, summoning her within just a few days. To be honest, she was quite hoping for it, and had been thinking that perhaps, today would be the day, especially as she was preparing for the night earlier.

Eugene’s lips parted open, allowing his lips to dart into her mouth, tasting her, savoring every corner inside. Their tongues tangled together, battling for dominance. Eugene’s eyes squeezed shut as her knees turned jelly, clinging onto him for dear life. Despite their standing position, she was lucky he was keeping her upright, with a gentle yet firm hand, pressed lightly on her lower back.

She was fortunate he was still carrying her.

A small groan seeped out from deep within Eugene’s throat, a rumble shortly after. It was almost like she was purring in pleasure.

The satisfaction she felt was real, and overwhelming after so long. Her fingertips, which were buried deep in his hair, went numb when he would greedily suckle on her tongue.

He slightly tilted his head and covered her lips with his. Their lips were deeply interlocked with each other. They fell into a trance after they tasted each other’s lips, their salivas mixing.

With the way he was kissing her, she felt him steal her breath away, drinking it in himself with the kiss. She was breathing roughly through her nose as he kept kissing her. He was so engrossed it seemed as if he was determined to taste every part of her lips and mouth in detail. He licked and bit her lips and rubbed the tender flesh inside of her lips with the tip of his tongue.

Maybe it was because she wasn’t currently grounded, but inside Eugene’s mind, it felt like it was spiraling out of control. She was going to get motion sickness. Eugene unwrapped her arm from his neck and twisted her body as if to push him away.

His lips that had been tenaciously clinging onto her lips, finally let go. Kasser pulled away, and looked at her with hesitation in his eyes.

She was breathing harshly, trying to catch her breath. Her lips felt swollen from the kiss, even her tongue ached lightly from when Kasser had been pulling on it. She was avoiding his gaze as well, as well as her ears turned red with embarrassment.
