I shivered when Hugo planted his palms on my hips, pulling me down while keeping my lips busy. He wouldn't stop as I felt him stroke my shoulder with the back of his fingers gently. Even his bites on my lips grew gentler, squeezing my arm lightly as he inhaled my breaths deeply.
His touches, the gentleness of his tongue as he guided it to a dance, his increasing body heat gave this sensation I couldn't comprehend in words. It felt as though I was discovering a part of me I didn't know existed.
As his hand outlined my body, I also felt like exploring it with him. Discovering where I was sensitive the most and the areas I would like to be touched. When his lips parted from me, Hugo trailed kisses on my jaw, down to the side of my neck and collar.
I clasped his shoulder, shutting one of my eyes, teeth clenched. His hot breaths touching my skin felt ticklish, but his lips distracted me. I could feel everything: his lips and tongue sucking my skin, stopping even before it would hurt and shifting to another area.
My chest heaved heavily, lips falling open at the sensation coursing through my body, making me lightheaded. I flinched when his hand rubbed my waist up to cup my breast, causing me to bite my lower lip, but it wasn't enough to stop the muffled moan from escaping.
"Hugh — ah.." I ground my teeth as he suddenly bit my upper chest lightly. He gazed up at me, eyes glinting dangerously as if he had thrown all reasons out of the window.
Hugo licked his lips with his eyes on me, fingers hovering on the fabric that was covering my chest. "One more moan and I will lose my mind," he uttered — more like a warning.
What did that mean, though? It was not like I controlled the sound I make. I was working hard not to make a sound here. I frowned while looking at him, but his sharp countenance didn't break. His hand that was cupping my breast moved slightly, making me press my lips into a thin line while puffing my cheeks.
"Pfft —!" my face instantly shift to a darker shade of red as he laughed while looking at me. "I'm just giving you a head-up... it's not like I am forbidding you to moan or call my name." Hugo bent down, grinning against my lips while I frowned.
"Stop teasing me," came out a muffled complaint as I looked away in embarrassment.
"Oh, come on, Rinrin. My instincts tell me I should rip this hindrance called fabric and take you raw. But obviously, I sort of know it will give you pain you will never forget." He traced my jaw with the apex of his nose as he crooned. "Even the thoughts in my head scare me at the moment."
I raised my right shoulder as I bit my lip. "I think... we should go somewhere else."
"Right now? No way." He shook his head, brushing his nose against my cheek. "It's so hard to pin you down. Who knows when you will agree to this again?"
"I already told you last night," I mumbled.
"Haha... then should we go back to my room? My office is closer, though. And it's clean, you'll be surprised."
"Ivo is there."
"Fuck Ivo. He will have to go unless he wants to watch us and die in envy." I slapped Hugo's shoulder lightly, in disbelief that he would joke about other people watching. "Right... I kid, I kid."
"No, you're not."
Hugo planted his palm on my side, his face hovering over me. His eyes scanned my face as if he was etching it deep in his mind so he wouldn't forget.
"Someone is coming," he said, making my brows raised. "And it seemed it's something urgent and important."
He twirled his finger around the tip of my hair, guiding it to his lips. Someone was coming? Was that the reason he stopped and didn't continue? Hugo never showed signs that he wanted to stop even until now, but somehow, he wasn't making a move.
"Do you think it's a problem you cannot resolve easily?" I asked, holding my hand closer to my chest. He shrugged before creeping his hand under my nape.
"Let me help you up," he offered, making me wrap my arms around his neck as he bent over, pulling me to sit up with him. When he stood in between my legs, Hugo gazed at me and helped me fix my dress. His thumb, however, stopped and pressed a part of my neck.
I looked up with brows raised, wondering what he was staring at. "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing. I just realized that I left my teeth mark and I'm pleased and disappointed at myself at the same time," he explained, shifting his eyes back to me. "Did this hurt?"
"No."
"Sure?"
I nodded with a closed-lip. "More than sure."
"Well, if that is what you say." He shrugged after a minute of just staring at me. "Did you like it, though? What we did and almost done... what do you think about it?"
I looked away to hide the color of my face that hadn't recovered. Did he have to know that? Do I have to spell it out? I felt like Hugo was just teasing me, so I could tell him I liked it. There was a limit to a person's courage, didn't he know that?
"So?" he asked, planting his thumb on my chin and guiding it so I could face him. "Did you like it?"
My eyes lowered as a muffled reply slipped past my lips. "Yes."
"Even the biting?"
"Even the biting," I repeated while sneaking a glance at him. "I like it and I'm a bit frustrated that you have to go."
"Rinrin." Hugo guided my chin to look at him squarely. He bent over until his face was a palm length away from mine, moving it forward until his chin was over my shoulder as he whispered in my ear.
"Tonight in my room. I'll be waiting for you."
I gulped and gazed down while he drew away.. At the same time, I heard some noises outside and Kieran's voice telling Hugo he was being summoned by the council.
