Chapter 43 - Pluck Her Flower

"But at the same time, I can't simply let you go like this, or else you won't ever learn your lesson." Her son seemed to have second thoughts about what he should do, which made his mother thrilled that she was going to get the punishment she deserved, for playing around with her father.

But her mood quickly sank again, as an exasperated look on her face appeared, like she couldn't believe he got her hopes up only to drown them when he said

"So, instead of a punishment for not listening to your father's words; while at the same time playing with me like a fiddle this whole while, I'll ask for compensation from you instead of a punishment."

Her son seemed satisfied with the idea he came up with, while his mother had a downcast look on her face, like she didn't get what she wanted for her birthday. 

She wanted to pull his cheeks and make him repent for not doing his role as a father properly, but she couldn't since she had to stay in her given role and not break her character. 

"And as compensation for what you did, your father here orders his daughter to compensate him with kisses for all the emotional damage she has caused him." He stated his compensation charges while looking like he suffered severe damage from his precious daughter lying to her.

Kisses? He wanted kisses from her? That wasn't something she expected him to ask, since he absolutely hated any intimate action with his mother in the past. 

But, although it was an extremely surprising order from her son, who hated when his mother kissed him on the face in the past, she wasn't in the mood to be happy since she still held a small grudge against her son for not doing what he said earlier and didn't look too happy with what he asked for instead of the spanking she was supposed to get. 

Chu~

But after she quickly gave her son a peck on the cheek after standing on her toes, her mood instantly improved from before, and she was so much more happier. She had thought that she would still feel sulky after giving her son the kiss he asked for, but instead, all those moody feelings were swept away, and her chest was filled with feelings of sweetness. 

This wholesome feeling wasn't because she kissed him while looking at him as a man, but because of the gratifying and heartwarming moment she felt when her lips touched his cheek because she hadn't kissed her dear son in several years, and she couldn't help but feel emotional about it right now.

But while she was feeling giddy that she kissed her son after a long while, her son had a dissatisfied look on his face, like her kiss didn't match the mark he expected it to. She thought that he wasn't satisfied with one single kiss, just like she wasn't satisfied with his, and wanted more than one. And so, to satisfy his desire while also feeling gratified at the same time that she could kiss her son, she went closer to him to give him another kiss. 

But just as her lips were about to land on his cheeks, he suddenly stopped her and asked 

"What are you doing?"

"G-Giving you a kiss like you said, daddy?" She thought that she had misunderstood his intentions and was embarrassed that she went for another kiss without him even asking for it. 

She then looked up at him and asked in a pitiful tone

"...Or is it that you don't want anymore kisses from Abi?"

"Oh no, I definitely want more kisses from my adorable little daughter." He traced her lips with his fingers, which made her blush. "But just not on the cheeks like you did earlier."

His sudden statement jolted her out of her timid state and made her look up in suprise. She seemed to know what he was trying to say but couldn't believe it was true, since it was an absolutely ridiculous thing to ask a mother to do to her son.

"W-What do you mean by that, Daddy?"Are kisses on the cheek not enough?" She asked hesitantly, just to make sure she wasn't projecting her own fantasies onto her son again.

"Well, if it were before you lied to your father, I would've been satisfied with some pecks on the cheek and would honestly be elated to receive them from my lovely daughter." Her son seemed to have the same thoughts as her about intimate actions like kisses, which only gave her the go-ahead sign to give him more kisses in the future.

"But what I'm asking for you are not normal kisses a daughter would give to her father, but instead, compensatory kisses for not listening to what I said." Her son stated as he looked down at her with his lips curled up, while she slowly shrank her head down in a week manner, already knowing what he was going to say next. 

"And to compensate an adult like me, childish kisses on the cheek wouldn't be enough, and only adult-like kisses would do."

Her eyes trembled at what her son said, and even though she knew it was coming, she was still shocked at what her son was asking from his mother. But it all made sense in her head, as she already knew that her son saw her differently than before, and it was only normal for him to want to be intimate with someone he held such feelings for, even if she was his mother. 

And as much as she wanted to reprimand her son for saying that he wanted to do something that only intimate lovers would do, she couldn't, as she too wished to do the same since she held the same feelings as him.

As a mother, she should've stopped him at this moment, but curiosity about how far her son was willing to cross the line of morality for her filled her head, so she couldn't help but continue their illicit conversation to satisfy her taboo-driven curiousity. 

"Adult kisses?...H-How do I do that, daddy?" She bit her lips as she stared at her son's own, like she was wondering how they would feel against her own.

"It's simple, really." Her son seemed to have noticed her gaze and chuckled at her obvious intentions. 

"Instead of you putting your lips against my cheeks, you just put them right against my lips and let them meet and have a pleasant conversation."

"B-But isn't that a kiss that only grownups are allowed to do?" She asked hesitantly, while thinking about what he meant by their lips having a conversation.

"You've already turned into a grownup the moment you decided to lie to me, Abi, since only grownups lie to one another...So, congratulations on becoming a grownup today." He decided to turn her daughter into a adult on a whim, just to get a chance to kiss her which made her roll her eyes.

And as if he saw her dissatisfaction, he also went closer to her ear and added 

"Of course, if you don't agree with what I said, we can always kiss after I truly turn you into a woman, after I pick that little flower of yours that you've been keeping safe this whole time."

Her little flower twitched when she heard her son's startling words, as she stood frozen with her ears slowly turning red. And while her body was heating up like an oven, she heard her son chuckle as if it all made sense now and say

"...I mean, I might as well, since why should I let someone else pick a flower that's been planted and nurtured in my own garden...Shouldn't I be the one to taste the fruits of my own effort?"
