However, just as he was enjoying, she suddenly pulled back.
"I-I-you--what are you thinking?" Sumire exclaimed.
Yuhi blinked, and it took him a minute to register the reason for her embarrassment. Right, the last thought he had before transporting both into this place was what he would do to her.
He feigns ignorance, and Sumire hits him. "I-I know I told you to be more open about what you want. But that, that is-"
"What's wrong with what I was thinking?"
Sumire frantically shook her head. "I-I think we need to set some rules after all. We can do things, and it will be different. But, but you-"
"Calm down," Yuhi mumbled in her ear. "I won't do that unless you want it."
"I don't know if I do." Sumire looked down. "Yuhi-san, since we started dating, you have been holding back. You have only been doing what I want. Since you left half a month ago, I have been doing some thinking and realized how unfair that was."
"It's not-"
Sumire shakes her head. "No, it's wrong." She turned to him with flushed cheeks. "We do have to set some rules, but if you promise me, you'll be careful and not get lost in lust and passion. I am more than willing to do it."
Yuhi watched her carefully. He wanted to make sure he didn't hear things. He didn't want to misunderstand anything when it came to her.
"Do you really?" Yuhi asked softly as he took her hand in his. "I think you already know that the rumors about me aren't exactly rumors. I did sleep with all those women and helped them get opportunities. I did do all those despicable things."
Since they started dating, both of them have avoided talking about this. However, if they are going to get married, he wants to be completely honest with her.
"I-I do know." Sumire nodded. "I just want us to be truthful with each other. Yuhi, I don't care about your past."
"You don't? Even when you know what type of person I am, and you saw for yourself when you drank my blood. Do you still love that twisted side of me?" Yuhi brings his lips to her ear and bites it.
Sumire shuddered. "Yuhi-"
"This may be a dream space, but both our bodies are still here. If I touch you, it will be engraved in your body. Tell me, Sumire." Yuhi mumbled in her ear. "What do you want me to start with?"
What does she want him to do? How far will she let that go?
"M-My lips?"
Yuhi laughed, knowing full well what she meant. He laid her down on the grass. "I don't mind starting with your lips. But I need to do something else first." He parted her thighs. "You just drank from me, so now I need to drink too."
"F-from there?"
"I'll drink at my favourite spot. You're sweeter down here."
Yuhi didn't hesitate, and eventually, he felt her legs wrapped around his waist. "My dear, I missed you."
Yuhi grunted in approval as Sumire continued to speak.
"There are all sorts of rumors floating around about me and other guys right now. But, I want you to understand something."
"And what is that?" Yuhi briefly stopped licking her.
"From the moment I laid eyes on you, I have only wanted you."
He had to stop himself from grinning, sensing her desire as she said those words. How can she make herself look so innocent and yet sound seductive at the same time?
"Is that so?" Yuhi mumbled. "Because it was the same for me. The first time I saw you in the facility, I had disturbing thoughts about you."
"That wasn't what I was talking about."
"Then, when you laid eyes on me in my concert? When you seduced me with your voice in the karaoke bar?"
"W-we were still young then! I did no such thing." Sumire stammered.
"Then, it must have been when you mistook me as the one who harassed those girls in the summer festival when you gave me that roundhouse kick. I do have to thank you for that time. I got a lovely view of your undergarments."
"Y-you hooligan," Sumire exclaimed.
Yuhi laughed. "You have no idea."
"Considering how your face is buried on my uh private areas, I think I do know."
"I do like this private area. It's sweet." Yuhi mumbled.
"I-I think your being-" Sumire stammered.
"I am showing you a glimpse of the real me. If you get a glimpse now, you can prepare for my return."
"H-how can I prepare for-"
Yuhi cuts her off as he moves his mouth aggressively down her neck. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the sound of her pounding heart, or was it his heart? They are both stupidly in love with each other.
They have been dating for over a year and are on the verge of getting married. But their feelings have only grown stronger. Most couples have a honeymoon phase where they act lovey-dovey before their feelings gradually fade. However, for Sumire and him? They only fall deeper and deeper in love.
"Sumire," Yuhi said with a smirk. "That face your making makes me think inappropriate things."
Sumire rolled her eyes. "Even if I stab you, I am sure you will still have those thoughts."
"Hmm, I don't know about that. I don't have such strange fetishes."
"I think Toh does."
Yuhi frowned, hearing Mashima's name.
Mashima Toh is different, after all. During new year, when Sumire was telling him about her past relationships. Yuhi noted that she spoke about him the longest.
Not good. He already lost to that person once. Sumire already picked Mashima Toh over him once. Yuhi harshly bit her leg, and Sumire shuddered. That was all the encouragement he needed to do more.
'Sumire, please never leave me.'
Yuhi kept those thoughts to himself. But he wondered if Sumire knew since she pulled her closer to him. Hearing the way she said his name, Yuhi decided to stop messing around. He had never felt so smug as he looked at her looking at him with pleading eyes.
"You're mine." Yuhi declared.
Not a possession, she was his equal, his everything.
