Ardella Filoria
Ardella stared at our touching hands in silence for a long while. She quietly gazed down at them, occasionally stroking the back of my hand with her slender fingers and smiling faintly. No words. No special gestures. She was simply holding my hand.
Yet for some reason, my heart was pounding like mad. If we stayed like this, something was bound to snap somewhere, so I had no choice but to open my mouth.
"Um, Lady Ardella."
Ardella, who had been gazing at our hands with evident joy, lifted her head slightly at my call and looked at me with her blue eyes. As if she'd grant any wish I voiced.
"I know this might sound presumptuous, but... you're a noble, and I'm just a lowly slave. Is this really okay?"
Sorry, Siron. Sorry, Kernax. But I had to ask her this.
Ardella didn't answer my question. Instead, she intertwined our fingers and gently turned my hand.
Mwah.
A warm, moist sensation bloomed on the back of my hand with the soft sound. Ardella had lightly kissed it, then raised her head to meet my eyes.
"That should be answer enough."
"...Yes."
My face burned for no damn reason. I'd always been the one charging in and taking charge, so this reversal felt straight-up awkward.
"Smith."
"Y-Yes?"
Tension got the better of me—I stuttered without thinking.
"No need to cower over your status. Sure, the records say slave, but nobody actually sees you that way. And keeping you listed as one? That's for your benefit."
"My benefit?"
"Yes. I'm an outsider, so I can't spill everything, but when the time's right, Amelia will lay it all out for you."
"Big sis...?"
Ardella nodded.
"But Smith."
"Yes?"
I snapped to attention and turned, only to find her staring right at me.
"Can I think of us as lovers now?"
"Uh, um... y-yeah?"
Embarrassing as hell. I tossed the word around casually with Siron and Kernax, but hearing it from Ardella? My chest was itching like crazy.
Pleased with my fumbling reply, she smiled softly.
"Then drop the honorifics from now on."
"...Pardon?"
I blurted in surprise, and she gripped my hand tighter.
"Come on. Try calling me Adele."
"Huh?"
"Hurry up."
She leaned in so close our breaths mingled. Her full breasts pressed delightfully against my shoulder. No, focus...
I swallowed hard under those clear blue eyes fixed on me and cautiously parted my lips.
"A...del?"
Whoosh!!
For an instant, something cold like a heat haze shimmered around Ardella before vanishing.
"Once more."
"...Adele?"
"One more time."
"Adele...?"
"Again."
"Adele."
Each time I said "Adele," a cool shimmer briefly flickered around us and faded.
After a few rounds.
"Smith."
"Yes?"
"...Not 'yes.'"
What the hell? Was that Ardella pouting her lips right now? Real life?
"Smith."
"...What?"
A smile curved her lips again.
"Being called normally is nice too... but since I'm a little older, it'd feel good if you called me 'sis.' 'Big sis' works, but that fits Amelia better anyway."
Her blue eyes sparkled brighter than ever.
Not "big sis," but "sis." Hell, I barely used the word even back on Earth. Easy enough to say, but actually voicing it? Mortifying.
But I'm not the type to fold over a little shame. I cleared my throat quick.
"Adele... sis?"
"Perfect. Call me that from now on—boldly, in front of anyone, no holding back. Got it?"
"...Yeah. Adele sis."
"Mm. Though when it's just us... Adele alone makes me even happier."
"You got it. Adele."
Ardella beamed, nodding happily. She looked more upbeat than I'd ever seen, eyes on me as she spoke.
"Try calling Kernax 'sis' later too. She'll love it."
"Kernax?"
Come to think of it, Kernax was older than me too. Siron was the only one younger. Gotta beg Siron to call me "oppa" someday. If she did, I'd flatline on the spot.
Suddenly, "sis" hit different for Ardella and Kernax—damn threatening word.
"Smith."
"Huh? What?"
Snapped out of Siron-oppa fantasies by her voice, I whipped around.
Ardella's cheeks were faintly flushed pink.
"After today... who knows when we'll get to sit like this again, all relaxed. So..."
Her flush deepened to crimson.
"Today... right here... I want you to leave proof on my body. That I'm your lover."
Those eyes that had locked on mine now darted downward—the first time she'd broken contact. Her face was fully scarlet now.
Siron probably fed Kernax that line knowing exactly how this'd play out.
Still holding Ardella's hand, I stood. She glanced up anxiously, so I told her,
"Figure we should shift to the bed."
"Ah... r-right."
Adele rose with a weird mix of delight and shyness.
I led her by the hand to the ridiculously huge bed. Once there, I tugged her into a loose embrace. She could've flung me like trash, but she melted into my arms like a fragile girl.
Pink-faced, lips sealed quietly, gazing up at me all docile.
I gripped her waist and eased her onto the bed. Her eyes dropped with the lower vantage, then lifted to mine.
I softly pressed my lips to hers—embarrassed yet resolute.
A fleeting kiss. Faint sweetness lingered in my mouth.
To the slightly dazed Ardella, I murmured,
"Okay to keep going?"
"...Ah... y-yes, fine."
Her face edged redder as she nodded shyly.
I kissed her again. Longer this time.
"Haa...!!"
Not too long, not too short. Still, she gulped air the second our lips parted.
"Breathing's... a bit tough."
She mumbled, flicking glances at my eyes.
I nearly suggested nose-breathing but shut up. Instead, I warned her about the third.
"This one's gonna be longer. Cool?"
"...O-okay."
Small nod. I overlapped our lips once more. Parted mine slightly, slipped in my tongue.
"...!!"
She jolted when it brushed her lips. A split-second hesitation, then she parted hers, granting entry.
"Mm, nng...."
She shuddered and let out strange moans each time my tongue grazed inside.
"Haaa...!! Haa...."
Her lips glistened with my saliva as she inhaled.
Breath steady? I dove in without warning.
"...!!"
Eyes flew wide in shock, then squeezed shut as she gently parted her lips.
Tongue pushing in, I eased my weight forward, pressing her back.
"Nn, uunng...."
Licking and coaxing her stiff tongue, she toppled limply onto the bed. I ended up straddling her naturally, hand stroking her thigh as I grew bolder—devouring her tongue and saliva outright.
Slurrrp, chuup.
"Uun... puha~! Sm...mmph..., nn, hnnng...."
Every breath break, she'd pant hard. But when I sealed our lips again, she opened wide, making it easier for my tongue...
"Hn, hnnng, tsur, huaaah...."
Time passed, and now she was awkwardly twining her tongue, craving my saliva bit by bit.
"Haa... haa... haa......"
We broke the marathon kiss; a clear saliva strand stretched long before dripping into her lewdly parted mouth.
Gulp.
She swallowed my drool and reached for my face. No words, but screaming for more kisses.
I leaned close to oblige—but not her lips this time. Forehead first.
"Ah...."
A soft moan, and her outstretched hands loosely encircled my neck. She dug it.
Next: bridge of nose, cheek, earlobe. Finally, her neck.
"Haa... haaah......"
Adele's breaths growing ragged. I nipped her neck lightly.
"Kuh...? Smith...?"
First time I'd seen her truly startled.
"Wanted to mark you as mine... sorry if that bugged you."
"Ah... if it's that... go ahead... anywhere you want."
Her briefly rigid body melted; the arms around my neck tugged gently, offering her neck.
"Anywhere... as much as you like."
I didn't hold back—nipped her nape again. Gently, no real mark.
"Haa... Smith...... haaa...."
But she seemed thrilled by the act itself; each nip made her breaths hotter, rougher.
Her rising heat had me burning up too. First time with Ardella, wanted it memorable—reason clung stubborn despite my cock throbbing fit to burst.
Lick, lick.
I flinched. She'd buried her face in my neck, tongue dragging slow.
Hot laps sent electric jolts down my spine.
Experience taught me: mental highs rivaled the physical ones.
"Smith... churp, haa... lick......"
Like a kid savoring candy—cautious, devoted licks on my nape. Each one had my back arching, cock twitching and leaking precum nonstop.
We were primed for the next step. Hand slid from thigh upward, slipping under her shirt.
"Hng...?!"
My palm met soft, springy abdomen. Ardella whipped her head around, eyes wide in shock.
I pecked those bunny eyes and whispered,
"Adele sis...."
"Hng?!"
Her body jolted hard. Into her ear, I continued,
"Now... I'm gonna undress you."
