Chapter 57

“So, was that your first…… kiss, just like me?”

“Yes. That was why I lost control a bit in the middle. I knew you were having a hard time but I couldn’t control myself, ahem, I’m very sorry.”

Khalid let out an embarrassed cough. He felt sorry for continuing to push Renato even though he knew Renato was suffocated when the kisses became intense.

But Renato, shocked by something else, was unable to listen to his apology. It was his first time, it was his first time just like me……

“Impossible!”

“……? What do you mean?”

“Ah.”

Hearing Renato scream to himself, Khalid tilted his head. Only then did Renato realize that he had said that out loud, so his gaze moved downward. He wiggled his hands in embarrassment.

“Uhm, I didn’t think it was your first time because you seemed so familiar with it.”

“Is that a compliment?”

Because of Renato’s words, Khalid’s eyes curved up into a crescent shape. He didn’t show it outwardly, but he was also nervous inside.

Seeing Khalid have a relieved smile on his face, Renato quietly reflected on his strange envy when he thought the man was more experienced and skillful.

“I’m not bragging, but because I’m a knight, I’m good at everything I do with my body. I guess I can say that I learn quickly.”

Khalid playfully shrugged his shoulders. Then, he reached out and gently stroked Renato’s cheek, which had turned red as if soaked in flower petal extract, with the back of his hand.

“Everyone is surprised when they hear that I have no experience at this age, but…… your reaction is quite refreshing, Your Imperial Highness.”

The currently 25-year-old Khalid was known as a very different species even among the members of the Black Wolf Knights Order. As it was a place where the most vigorous knights gathered, there were bound to be many temptations from others. Because of that, it was natural for Khalid to stand out as he kept his belief firmly without any wavering.

When seeing Khalid spend his ruts alone without blinking an eye despite the beautiful Omegas’ seduction, some people thought of him as amazing, while others looked at him with strange eyes.

“Actually, I was quite nervous a while ago. I am relieved to hear that you felt good with that, Your Imperial Highness.”

“Well, uhm…… Yes.”

Renato was flustered when Khalid smiled with a relieved expression. It was true that he felt good, but somehow he was embarrassed. When his head lowered a little, his hair, which had been ruffled by Khalid’s hand, also slid down.

Seeing the tips of Renato’s ears protruding through the pale purple-silver hair burning as red as his face, Khalid slightly raised the corners of his lips. When he saw that Renato was so ashamed, some kind of playfulness suddenly surged up in him.

“When I roll around the battlefield, there is a lot of knowledge that I picked up. It’s my first time in practice, but I know the theory well, so please don’t worry.”

Khalid slightly tilted his head towards Renato and whispered in his ear. Renato’s head jerked up because of that mischievous whisper.

“W, what.”

“I’m telling you the truth. Most of the knights are very experienced in that kind of thing.”

Alphas and Omegas tended to have a faster first experience than Betas. It was because their first ruts or heat cycles would occur in their early to mid-teens.

Among them, those who had to work using their bodies like knights were more experienced in those kinds of things. Since they could die even tomorrow, they often left their bodies for the pleasure of the moment.

Maybe because of that, when they went around the battlefield together, there were quite a lot of times when people said they would teach Khalid things as adult seniors. As a matter of course, Khalid gave appropriate punishment to those who taunted him with their mouths.

At those times, he didn’t want to hear them and was annoyed, but today, they turned out to be very helpful advice. Khalid felt grateful, albeit belatedly.

Khalid recalled what Renato had said a while ago about his worry that doing those things with a Beta like him wouldn’t feel good.

Remembering Renato’s words of concern about the consummation duty, Khalid squinted his eyes. He was bewildered back then, but after kissing him now, Khalid could speak with confidence. Renato’s concern was just unfounded worry.

Letting out a chuckle, Khalid raised his hand and touched Renato’s lips which felt thicker than before. His lips, swollen from the kisses with Khalid, looked like very luscious fruit. Feeling an unknown thirst, Khalid ran his tongue across his lower lip. He never thought he would have this kind of desire.

“Your highness?”

Renato called out to Khalid in a nervous voice when the man silently touched his lips.

“Your lips are quite swollen. I knew your skin was weak, but I didn’t expect that your lips would swell this much with just one kiss.”

“Strictly speaking, it wasn’t once……”

Renato timidly rebutted, then immediately closed his mouth when the man’s face suddenly got closer. His violet-colored eyes were shaking. Khalid slowly began to speak again.

“Should we do it one more time as a revision?”

Renato gulped when hearing the voice filled with subtle seduction. His heart pounded at the thought of feeling the sensations he had just felt before. The distance between them was so close that he felt worried that Khalid would hear his heartbeat.

Renato thought he now understood why Khalid said that once they started, there was no turning back. He couldn’t forget that feeling. After hesitating for a moment, Renato slightly nodded his head. Then, Khalid’s lips approached as if they had been waiting.

Smooch, their wet lips overlapped together, creating a strange sound. Khalid patiently licked Renato’s lips and groaned inside his neck, wrapping his arm around Renato’s waist. His tongue, filled with his damp heat, licked and nudged at the inner skin that had become more sensitive than usual.

“Nngh, ugh.”

Different. It’s different from before. Renato’s shoulders shrank when he felt the flesh licking up the roof of his mouth. The ticklish pleasure that bloomed in his mouth went down his neck, making his stomach stiff. His waist twitched and his thighs gathered together because of the first sensation he experienced.

“Ha, wait, it’s strange, ugh.”

Feeling his lower body heat up, Renato tried to pull himself back. But Khalid did not allow it. The man tightened the arm around his waist and pulled Renato into his embrace. Their bodies overlapped just like their interlocked lips.

“Umph, nngh.”

Trapped in Khalid’s arm, Renato intermittently trembled and moaned. All he could do was accept the sensations from the person who swallowed and ravaged his lips.

“Ah! Ugh!”

Khalid stroked Renato’s waist as if complimenting him for having done a good job when Renato no longer tried to escape and entrusted his body to Khalid. At that moment, lightning flashed through Renato’s mind.

“N, no. That place, huu, ugh.”

Renato urgently parted his lips away and whimpered. The heat burning up from where Khalid touched spread throughout his body.

“Shh, it’s okay.”

Khalid whispered to console him, and feathered soft kisses on Renato’s lips. Then, the man persistently stroked the area around Renato’s scar. Each time, Renato’s body trembled, and the moans flowing out of his lips were mixed with sobbing sounds.

“Uhm, it’s okay…… I’m not hurting you, I’m just stroking, so please feel at ease.”

“Hic, stop, it’s, strange. Huff.”

Renato shook his head and was on the verge of crying. Tears were welling up in the corners of his heated eyes. Khalid drank down every moan and sob that he let out. The moment the man’s large, rough hand slid into Renato’s wrinkled shirt, there was a knocking sound.

“Your Imperial Highness, your highness. Sir Nasir and Viscount Roman-nim have finished discussing the marriage contract. You should come back to the conference room right now, can I come in?”

Khalid inwardly clicked his tongue when he heard the steward’s voice echoing in his ears. He regretfully sucked Renato’s lips lightly, then straightened his upper body.

“……Don’t come in and just tell them that we got it. I’m in the middle of an important conversation with His Imperial Highness, so we’ll be there in a little while.”

“Understood.”

Khalid gave an order to the steward, then looked down at Renato sprawling out on the sofa just like a doll whose thread had been cut. He was panting with an exhausted face.

“I think the tug-of-war between the Viscount and my aide has finally come to an end. I guess we have to go.”

“Haa, hu……”

Instead of answering, Renato only breathed out. His moans mingled in his heavy breathing. Khalid wiped Renato’s face drenched with sweat and tears with a handkerchief, lifted him, and sat him on the sofa.

“Would you like some water?”

Renato weakly leaned on the sofa and nodded. His waist was still shaking. Khalid tried to hand Renato a glass of water, but decided that Renato couldn’t hold it, so he put it directly next to Renato’s mouth.

“Please drink slowly.”

“Huu……”

Renato drank water like a child and let out a more relaxed breath. After calming down for a bit, he looked at Khalid with resentful eyes.

“I told you, not to, but you didn’t stop.”

“Were you very surprised?”

“Of course, why that place……”

“My apologies. I was too excited.”

Khalid bowed his head apologetically. Because of the quick apology without any excuses, Renato’s momentum of anger disappeared. He buried himself on the sofa with an exhausted face.

“I will forgive you this time. Instead, please don’t do that next time.”

“Uhm, I don’t think I can promise you that.”
