The walk was quiet. Even after entering the apartment building, Kokoro hadn't asked for the kiss. Ho Fei-yu slowed his pace. I'm not desperate for a kiss... I just want to be a man of my word!
Kokoro followed him, her face bright red, her thumbs twiddling nervously. She was frustrated. Stupid Fei-yu! Does he have to make me say it?! I'm a girl! Is Hana-nee the one who initiates everything?!
She reached the top of the stairs and realized the walk was almost over. Ho Fei-yu stopped at the corner. Kokoro, lost in thought, bumped into his back.
He turned around and looked down at her. "What are you thinking about so hard?"
"Thinking about... the k... kiss..." she whispered.
"What? I didn't hear you," he teased.
"I want to KISS!" she shouted, her face exploding in red. Realizing he had heard her the first time, she stamped her foot. "I hate you! You big bully!" Tears began to well up in her eyes.
She turned to run, but Ho Fei-yu grabbed her hand and pulled her into his chest. He held her wrists firmly.
"Let me go! I don't want your kiss anymore! Jerk! Bully!"
Ho Fei-yu looked into her eyes. The heat in his gaze made her resistance crumble into a playful struggle. Her breathing became heavy, and her red, petal-like lips parted.
Ho Fei-yu couldn't take it anymore. He leaned down and captured her lips. He sucked gently on her petals, leaving them glistening and wet. Kokoro was stiff at first, completely dominated by his rhythm. She felt like she had been hit by a bolt of electricity.
He became gentler, letting go of her wrists to wrap his arms around her waist. Kokoro finally melted into the kiss.
They stayed like that for a long time until Kokoro pushed against his chest, gasping for air. A thin thread of saliva connected them for a moment before snapping.
As Ho Fei-yu was about to say something, Kokoro suddenly stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck. He thought she was going for another kiss, but instead, she went for his ear.
"Mmm~ hmph~ this is... what you get... for teasing me..." she whispered, her voice wet and hot.
Using the techniques Hana had taught her, she began to lick and suck on his earlobe. Ho Fei-yu felt his knees go weak. I've been betrayed from within!
Kokoro felt his reaction and felt a surge of triumph. She moved to the other ear, determined to make him pay. Ho Fei-yu was like putty in her hands.
