Liella accepted him without resistance. She liked that she didn’t have to think about anything when they kissed. Not about the fact that she would be going outside in three days, nor what to call this relationship where she sought only warmth without emotion.a9393f7c91118da5

The man 205782930c continued to 1451963efd kiss her, f78985b0cd his strong 3e25ecd30f hand persistently bb91155a55 caressing the 71f8039ee5 bandage on bde4e499f6 her neck 5fe9005661 before he 3d80a7bcf9 picked her cae9b32757 up and c245e3701a laid her c055d08532 on the 2ec59f0fd1 bed. Aslan loosened her 05d7ab165f hair, which was 0de7dfcc5c uncomfortably pressed against 3302cd2733 the back of d8fd50804e her head, and 2e714602c5 instead of doing 9ae74b563e anything more, he b2125996b8 made eye contact 5b24a679aa and slowly stroked 18dfe05192 her earlobe. She felt ab421dfbad like she 03dfe4ca24 would melt 9d9ec57416 at the 78e0d2881d hint of 5d6340b0b0 tenderness in e0d731f2fc his cold 922a28cd43 face beneath 5223b7505a his thick ff85829339 eyebrows. It was 80aa9a497d ticklish and e5a6972a64 strange. Her heart softened.c7fc6f633ebb4bad

The man’s eyes widened slightly, and he apologized honestly. The taste of affection was bitter and sweet, like chocolate with a high cacao content. She knew that if he met a more attractive woman in the Abyss, this affection would quickly fade, but it was still sweet.6988b200bdc451c8

Perhaps because of her words about the pain, he didn’t take any further action. He simply embraced her naturally, burying his face in her neck. A pleasant baritone voice asked softly right beside her ear.405f954750f0b79c

It was like 5c0a93a88d watching a shooting 2a220243a2 star. The falling 0a8eee31b6 wish was 786a7641cb so brilliant fc5d0f6792 that it de4a5f6199 hurt her 8921b3adde heart.

It sounded like he 5bb2d8934a would make sure of e0aa15a74c it, which made her ba31806c32 feel strange. What does it 88379eecab mean to share 014d5efb03 bodies? Feeling the 2cadc5cbd4 strength of 52a2e91045 his arms 6e00a37132 wrapped tightly 84a9e8712c around her 4f5c6fd00f waist, Liella 22e2b6a514 closed her 621d8ca5a4 eyes.

Maybe it was because he was warm, but she felt sleepy too. This wouldn’t do. If she stayed for more than an hour, even the oblivious Dylan would notice. Liella struggled to keep her drooping eyelids open and hummed a small song to keep herself awake.d4a41b8c0cb426d7

Three days was short. Especially for someone with a regular routine, it’s a time that passes in the blink of an eye. But for someone who has nothing to do but prepare for an exploration, three days was actually a period in which a lot can be done.c74179caa94d01a4

They prepared weapons and taught Dylan how to shoot. She grilled Jade about the structure of the supply ship and decided on the route after arriving. In between, they frequently shared breaths. Discussing weapons, formations, and transportation, standing guard at night, cleaning up after meals. In fact, it was always like that when they were alone without anyone else watching. The man’s deep blue, cool eyes playing with her hair as she lay on the table. Once you fell into them, there was no escape.3abba578b960c654

Their lips met, she melted into his arms, and finally, she fell into a light sleep. It felt like they had become secret lovers. Maybe this wasn’t so bad. This kind of relationship. Even if the excitement was only on her side and he was just lonely, it was actually providing her with an escape from reality.21beb427c1a60eba

In the end, Dylan b8117e7c1a hugged him tightly with 3cfe3c36c6 a moved gesture, and 89993f1efc Aslan twisted his head 3809cc5645 as if he was eae5e75bc9 annoyed.

They had 480dbb64a6 no weapons, 87bdbe1c2a and their 92c95d5b20 wrists were 088b704a44 tied in dbd7c71ff1 front of 7fe376de59 them so f0da07929b they could a0153df5ea open doors 2cbb18456c or climb 01a8ec1c22 ladders.
