The room I was brought to was a guest room prepared for the attendees of the ball.
Although it was just a guest room, since it was something that n.o.bles would use, it was still finely prepared with complimentary furniture. After entering the room and firstly confirming those things, I was relieved for now.
For my first experience, I want to refrain from using a『room only for the sake of doing it』if possible. Even though I had experience in my past life, this would be my first experience in my current life. What's wrong with wanting to dream a Little?
To confirm the state of the interior, I stepped further inside and heard the sound of the door closing behind me. When I turned around, the man who closed the door approached me and slowly reached out his hand.
――――He wanted to hug me.
Realizing his intention, I quietly stood in place. There was no reason to deny him. Besides, time was limited and I want "it" to happen quickly.
After staying still, as I had thought, I was pulled into his embrace. His hot breath brushed against my ear. That sensation was more pleasant that I had thought so I felt relieved.
Good, it seems like I can do this.
「I'm finally able to touch you...」
「'Finally' you say. I've had no memory of telling you to wait though.」
To the man's exaggerated words, I replied in a whisper.
Suddenly it felt as if time slowed down. The man looked at me while saying, "Oh really."
「Was that your aim?」
「...Well, I wonder.」
I had already come this far so there was no way I could say no. I had purposely changed my tone of speech to match the venue of the Masquerade Ball, but I found it tiresome and replied in a somewhat more casual manner.
「This is nice. This way it feels like I'm speaking to the real you, and it makes me happy.」
「...You're a strange one. This way is easier for me so it saves me some trouble... But not too long ago you also changed your way of speaking.」
He hadn't voiced his intentions yet but if I'm sufficient for him then that's a good thing. He also hadn't crossed any lines yet.
Unintentionally, I began to look at the gleeful him as if I was seeing something odd.
Noticing that, he smiled even more in delight.
「Is that so. That was also my intention. Even so I'm actually quite surprised here, you know? In various ways... That's right, replying to the question you asked before, since the first time I laid eyes on you, I've been badly desiring you. That's why saying "finally" wasn't wrong, yes? 」
Uwah.
As he spoke, the feeling of his breath against my ear made a s.h.i.+ver run down my spine.
Noticing my reaction, he hugged me more tightly.
「...Certainly not. Admiring me while I was wearing a mask? Even I am not gullible enough to believe such words.」
「It's not a lie. Even now, I l.u.s.t for you so badly my body has grown hot. Such a thing is a first for me... Yes? You've followed me silently up till now. You aren't a child anymore. Something uncouth like wanting to leave at this point, you won't say it will you?」
His sweet voice stirred up my desire.
With the index finger of his right hand, he lifted my chin and inquired me tenderly yet firmly to prevent me from running away.
Of course,『YES』was my only option. That was the very reason I came here.
「...Yes. I also desire you.」
After I said so bluntly, he froze for a moment while still holding my chin.
Huh? Worried that I might have said something strange I timidly matched his gaze. I was met with eyes dyed with l.u.s.t.
「Um...?」
「Fufu...Fufufu」
He abruptly lowered his face and began to laugh.
Noticing my state, he raised his head and looked this way.
「Ah, my apologies. It's not what you think. It's because I'm happy... I'm glad. I'm very glad.」
「Is that so? ...Ah!!」
Wondering what he meant I wanted to ask him but before I could manage to do so, he kissed as if biting me.
So this is my first kiss. While thinking that I shut myself up and received his kiss.
The tender sensation felt good. He licked my lips many times, prompting my mouth to open.
As if saying that he was waiting for just this moment, his tongue violated the inside of my mouth.
「...Nn...Ahh–」
He inserted his saliva with all his might, and in a rush, I swallowed it. At the same time, his tongue squirmed around freely in my mouth and tangled itself with my tongue. In response, I also moved my own tongue.
Once again, his movements came to a stop.
「N?」
Thinking that his reaction was strange, I opened my closed eyes to find him looking at me with a face full of smiles. At that moment, I once again remembered that trembling sensation.
Only, there was an even stronger sensation than before. Instead being the predator like I was aiming for, it felt as if he was pinning me down by the scruff of my neck.
Feeling intimidated, I reflexively put both hands on his chest to push him away. But he wouldn't permit that. Embracing me with even more strength, he started kissing harder.
「...Nnn–. Nna–」
Loud kissing noises slipped out of my mouth. By the time he finally released my lips, my hips had already given out.
Since I became unable to stand, he eagerly picked up my unsteady body and carried me to the bed that was prepared.
With a poof, he gently laid me down in the middle of the sheets.
Like that, he leaned over me.
「...Hey, I want to kiss but this mask keeps getting in the way... There's no problem if I take it off, right?」
「Eh...?」
Before I could ask him what he was thinking, he began to peel off my mask.
Reflexively holding it back, I frantically argued at him.
「For what reason do you think this Masquerade Ball is for? It's meaningless if one's face is revealed!」
There was no way I could be revealed as Duke Vivouare's daughter here.
If I was exposed, then I definitely wouldn't be embraced. The plan I had painstakingly put together would come to nothing.
To the me who was desperately holding back my mask, he made a surprised expression and slowly pulled back his hands.
「...What a regret. Then, would it be fine to tell me your name at least? I am...」
「I will not, and I have no interest!!」
I covered his words with a loud voice as he tried to name himself.
Please don't change your aim to something scarier than showing one's face.
「Ehh?」
「What do you mean by "Ehh"? ...Please just refer to me as you like.」
「I wish to know your name.」
「I said I wouldn't tell you... You are aware that it's against the rules?」
After I said that with upturned eyes, he reluctantly accepted while nodding in disappointment.
If he understood then I wish he would stop with such tomfoolery.
Besides, what good would come out of knowing the name of a one-night stand partner such as I?
「I understand. Certainly, I was in the wrong. ...It seems I was a little impatient. Yes, the night is still long. Pressing the matter gradually would be better...Then would it be fine if I refer to you as Diana?」
Pretending as if I didn't hear the strangely foreboding words that came out of his mouth, I reacted to the name only.
「Diana?」
「Because your eyes are a lovely violet.」
It was the name of this world's Night G.o.ddess. Certainly, the eyes of the Night G.o.ddess were violet.
As he looked over my mask, I averted my eyes. The portion over the eyes was open, so we could see each others' eye color.
「...Do as you wish. Then may I refer to you as Apollo?」
「Diana's lover, the Sun G.o.d Apollo. That's nice, I like it very much.」
While stroking my cheek, Apollo showed me a tranced expression full of rapture.
It wasn't as if I had said that with any deep meaning. It was simply because of his golden mask. The avatar of the Sun, Apollo, possessed a golden aura. Like the man before me, Apollo's eyes were also blue. It had simply come up because of the a.s.sociated name Diana.
「Diana, my dear. I give my love to you.」
「Nn.」
The hand that was stroking my cheek stilled and his face approached mine. With corny words, he once again sealed my lips and used his tongue to play with me.
...This person was seriously good at kissing.
Previously, he had given me a kiss that made my hips give out, but this type of kiss was pleasant too. Even in my past life, I hadn't experienced any kisses like these. This was also similar to what Marianne had heard from the rumors. If it's like this then I'm relieved at what was to come.
Settling my chest that my sense had not been wrong, I began to focus on the man in front of my eyes.
「Nn...Ah...」
In between my breaths, sweet moans leaked out from my mouth. It felt so good, I couldn't help it.
Wanting to feel more, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him towards me.
Apollo chuckled softly.
「...You're very a.s.sertive, aren't you?」
「Hm? ...Do you hate a.s.sertive women?」
Ever since before, whenever I made a move he gave an unusual reaction.
Since this man was the player type, I thought he would like a more a.s.sertive approach so I didn't hold back, but I wonder if I had miscalculated.
「No, it's very welcomed.」
「...Is that so?」
「To the point where it's fine to be even more daring.」
「...I don't know if I will be able to meet your expectations though.」
While answering his kiss, I replied to his words.
The s.e.x experience I had fostered in my past world was quite normal.
To have expectations placed on me by a veteran like him was honestly troublesome.
「This is plenty.」
