His nose brushing against my neckline, kissing me for a moment and letting out a hot breath… A fleeting kiss was placed on my cheek, which had already become hot.
Under the moonlight faintly pouring through the thin windows.
The two of us were slowly experiencing each other’s body temperature as if we were touching each other for the first time.
I patted the burn marks on the inside of his shirt with a clumsy hand. The feeling of touching it with my fingertips was strangely unfamiliar.
I felt as though the marks were on my own body.
His flesh was as vivid as my own, and his pain was as real as mine.
“Rixus…”
Shortly after I uttered his name sweetly, Rixus tipped his nose forward and kissed me.
As he frantically intertwined our wet tongues with large movements of the jaw muscles, I slowly dropped down the shirt I was taking off.
Tuk—
Under the moonlight, his broad chest, cleaved by muscles, was revealed.
The forearms with strong, blue veins that stretched out like branches…
His tongue peeked out, licking his lips, and as he swallowed sensually, the muscles of his abdomen, which were thickly stretched across, moved as if alive.
“Ha…”
I let out a shallow breath.
The breath barely scattered between the two wet lips, slightly misaligned as we set them up.
He softly whispered, gently brushing his lips against my reddened, sensitive lips.
“We’ve done everything before. You sure you don’t remember?”
“Ahh…”
And I think my heart would burst even more.
I never imagined kissing him like this. All of this was for the first time…
“It’s okay.”
Rixus tenderly kissed my shaky eyelids, and slowly pulled my dress off my shoulders. His lips breathed a hot breath over my tense skin in the slightly cold weather.
As the silk dress slowly came off, his lips followed.
With a deep kiss.
He nibbed a handful of the soft skin on my collarbone, and then sucked it into his mouth, engraving a slow and thrilling sensation, and afterwards, went down to the stomach.
He rubbed the tip of his feverish nose over my little navel.
“Ha…”
Like an instrument being played, I moaned.
His hand was carefully stroking the bare back exposed by the flowing dress.
Bit by bit, slowly, without surprise. I could feel how much Rixus cared.
My heart was beating fast.
In the face of the thoughtful kisses and fervent affection, I decided to be a little candid.
“Rixus, you know… I’m actually still worried…”
Rixus looked at me with friendly eyes and caressed my cheek.
“I wonder if the oracle is… right, if things turn out like the oracle.”
What would we do?
If I really became the monster that would destroy the world he loved.
The roots of doubts and worries that had been repeated over the course of many lifetimes were not easily pruned.
If the world was really ending in my hands, what would Rixus do?
Even if he looked at me with these eyes now, when that time came…
Like how he had killed me many times, so…
“I’d rather abandon the world.”
“…….”
“When that time comes.”
At Rixus’ resolute words, my eyes quivered.
Rixus was like a man who was created to protect this world.
He was the protagonist of this story.
“Even if everything collapses, all I need is you.”
The little thing in his eyes was love rather than obsession.
It was blind and obedient love that he gave to his wife, who was like his life.
It was amazing.
Even though I was anxious enough for my very soul to shake, his words made everything stable.
I covered his cheeks with my palms… and quietly met those blue-purple eyes and whispered, blushing.
“Rixus, kiss me like you used to.”
“…….”
“Don’t hesitate, just like when we had memories of loving each other… Hug me.”
—Hug me.
The last words were crushed between my lips in Rixus’ deep kiss.
His careful hand penetrated the hem of my skirt without hesitation, astonishing me and making ‘it’ even sweeter.
“Ah…!”
My breathing suddenly slipped. I barely grabbed the thick forearm that made me feel hot, but he wouldn’t stop.
The delicate body trembled.
In the end, fearing a scream would come out, I bit his angled shoulders hard.
At the pleasurable touches, I cried like a cat being scratched.
Fireworks exploded over and over in front of my eyes. It was breathtaking.
“I’ll keep what you tell me to keep, and do what you tell me to do.”
“Ha…!”
“Then don’t worry about it, Berylia.”
The two bodies fit together in an instant. My head tilted and my toes swung.
With choking kisses on the lips, and groaning at the pleasure, Rixus moved me tightly into his arms, deep within his arms, violently mixing his scorching heat with mine.
My mind was blown away and all my thoughts were crushed.
How many times I cried, what words I used to beg with… I couldn’t remember how I hung and kissed.
Standing at the pinnacle of deep pleasure. At some point, I just let my mind go black.

I was standing in a lavender forest.
It was the beautiful lakeside that I saw with Rixius earlier.
‘Why am I here?’
When I had doubts, a group of twinkling lights gathered around me.
‘Are they spirits?’
[No, I am not a spirit.]
“!”
Did it hear what I said to myself?
“…If you’re not a spirit, what are you?”
[I am you, Berylia.]
‘Is this me?’
Surprised, I wrapped it in the palm of my hand, and it sparkled like a smile.
[To explain a little more, it is closer to your consciousness?]
“So… am I dreaming right now?”
[Yes, that’s right. This is your dream, Berylia.]
“Ah.”
[Look around.]
Then, when I looked around again, I saw a girl who was so familiar.
It was me.
When I was young, holding a handful of lavender.
‘And that’s…’
A few steps away, I saw Rixus, a boy hiding in the grass.
