Close Enough to Taste (3)
"Cha Eunju, your breasts are so pretty that I can't help myself—would you let me suck on them? Just once?"
"Huu, h, heh?!"
At my bolder-than-ever proposal, Cha Eunju jolted with an adorable little gasp of surprise. Her face, which had only just been flushed a soft pink from her climax, deepened to a vivid scarlet, and her expression crumpled so completely that she couldn't hide a trace of her flustered panic.
"S, sucking with your mouth...? Wh, what do you mean by that...?"
"I want to bring my lips to your nipples and suck on them. I want to find out with my own tongue what your breasts taste like."
"……."
She had probably been stalling for time with that awkward echo of my words, but my blunt phrasing only threw her further off balance, leaving her squirming helplessly. With Suggestion: Hypnosis in effect, the option of resisting me no longer existed anywhere in her head, so I simply waited with patience for Cha Eunju's belated answer.
"O, okay."
"Can I try?"
"I, I'm under hypnosis, after all.... Wh, whatever you say, Seonho, I can go along with it..."
"I'm asking because I want to hear what you think. If you really don't want my mouth on your chest, then I won't do it."
"......It's fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Y, yeah.... W, we've already gone this far—you've seen them and touched them, so... whatever."
That was more than enough. I'd gotten the words it's fine out of Cha Eunju's own mouth, after all. Even after she woke from Suggestion: Hypnosis, the memory of having given permission would remain, which meant she wouldn't be able to deny or object to anything I did from here on out, either.
I closed the distance to Cha Eunju, who stood there rigid with tension, clutching her collar down near her collarbone, and brought my lips to her right breast as gently as a kiss.
-Mwah.
"Huuuh?!"
Nothing had changed except the point of contact—her skin moving from my hand to my mouth—yet Cha Eunju flinched hard, her whole body jolting in shock. Knowing how shy she was, I started with comparatively light skinship first so as not to startle her.
-Mwah, mwah.
"Huu, h, haah...!"
-Chup.
"Huguuuuuh...!"
A few featherlight kisses, then a soft tug using only my lips. Once she'd grown accustomed to the sensation of my mouth on her chest through those gentle touches, I flicked the very tip of my tongue across her nipple.
-Lick.
"Heeeek?!"
-Slurp, slurp.
"Hiii, h, hah...!! Hauuuuh...!!"
The moment my warm tongue made contact, she began to react in earnest, her body twisting and writhing. It seemed that stimulating her with my mouth really did feel a little better than teasing her with fingers alone.
Ignoring one breast entirely would have left her wanting, so I pulled my lips away and brought my face to the other side. Naturally, I didn't forget to whisper praise in that brief moment of separation, just to keep her worked up.
"Haa, h, haaaah..."
"You're delicious, Eunju."
"D, delicious...?"
"Your taste comes through in your breasts, so they're delicious. I mean it, every word."
"Huu, he.... Th, thank, you...?"
It was the kind of compliment she had no idea how to respond to, so the answer that came back was appropriately vague. Not that it mattered—give it a few days and she'd be genuinely delighted by every single one of these little expressions of affection.
-Chuuup.
"Huu?! Huguuuuh...!!"
-Lick, lick, lick.
"Huuuu, hi, hyaah...!! Huu, huuuuh...!!"
Convinced she had to keep up the act of being hypnotized, Cha Eunju couldn't even tell me to stop—she simply showed me, unfiltered, every jolt of surprise and every shiver of pleasure moving through her. My pants felt ready to burst. Even though I was the one who had started this training, I honestly couldn't believe the moment I was living in, my mouth pressed to those soft, enormous breasts.
A chance encounter at the written exam hall. The guilt born from showing up late on the second day. And her trademark timid personality, so perfectly suited to being trained. All of those threads had interwoven, and in barely five days I'd advanced all the way to her chest.
'So she really is the easiest heroine for Lee Seonho to conquer, huh.'
...No, that wasn't quite the only reason. The original Lee Seonho was an idiot who spent three whole years at Cha Eunju's side without ever managing a single proper piece of skinship. Sure, the guy had his attention scattered across women other than Cha Eunju—but keeping a girl like this close and never even properly claiming her? He was an absolute fool.
It was because I had transmigrated into him that I could train Cha Eunju this thoroughly. Even going so far as to plant the delusion that she was doing all of this of her own volition. In the end, the only person in this world who could make Cha Eunju truly happy is me.
And that went not just for Cha Eunju, but for every other heroine as well.
-Lick, lick.
"Huuu, h, haah...!! Huguuuut?!"
As I worked, Cha Eunju straightened her previously writhing body and carefully began to rise up onto her heels. That meant she was preparing herself for the climax to come—so now was the most critical moment. If I wanted Cha Eunju to sincerely crave having her breasts sucked, I had to make the sensation of this moment so overwhelming that she would never be able to forget it.
-Roll, roll.
"Huuh?! Heut, hah...!! Higeut...!!"
The right nipple I'd just been licking I pinched between my fingers, rolling it in slow circles—
-Slurp, slurp.
"Huuh!! Hii, hyaaah...!! Hiiiii...!!"
—while the left nipple, now in my mouth, I swirled with my tongue in the opposite direction, both at once.
-Roll, roll.
-Slurp, slurp.
"Huuuu, hiit, hyaaah...!! Huguuuut...!!"
With both breasts lavished at the same time, her body climbed right to the very edge of climax—and at that instant—
-Squeeze.
-Nibble.
—I squeezed her right nipple hard between my fingers and lightly caught her left nipple between my front teeth.
"Huuuuh?! Hii, h, hyaaaaaang...!!!"
In the same breath, Cha Eunju's whole body arched as she reached her peak, wailing out in the sweetest little cries. Just from the way she looked on the outside, I could tell without a doubt: the second climax she had just experienced was a pleasure far, far beyond the first.
"Huguuuut!! Haa, h, haaaaang!!"
Utterly incapable of stopping, Cha Eunju stretched her body out again and again, spilling lewd moans in one long, endless sigh. The hem of her clothing, which she had been clutching carefully with both hands, had long since been released, and her face wore an expression of depravity unlike anything I'd seen from her before—tears and drool streaking down together.
-Trickle.
"……."
...She was even leaking some kind of fluid from between her legs—love juice? arousal? who knew—enough to seep faintly through. The dark color of her tracksuit meant it wasn't obvious at a glance, but up close I could see it clearly: her crotch was soaked.
'Actually, it's kind of surprising she leaked that little. Going by how she looks, it wouldn't be strange if she'd outright sprayed.'
Or maybe she'd prepared in advance for the possibility of having her breasts sucked without my knowing. Adult diapers and the like do sell at convenience stores these days. Picturing Cha Eunju, blushing as she tried to hide her orgasm in front of me, secretly layering a pad inside her panties... that image was absurdly arousing too.
...Well, I couldn't exactly strip her pants off and check right now, so this was all just my own fantasy either way.
"Haaa, haa, hoo, huuu, huu...."
The aftereffects of her climax lingered just as long—for quite a while afterward, Cha Eunju kept catching her breath, breathing out lewd little moans the whole time. This would settle it for her, once and for all: having her breasts sucked by me delivered pleasure on an entirely different order than being touched with hands.
"I'll wipe you off, so hold still."
-Squeeze. Sq-uueeze.
"Uuut, h, hik?! Higeut?!"
And at the very end, under the pretense of cleaning my saliva from her nipple with my handkerchief, I gave her one last parting shiver of stimulation. So that everything she'd experienced with me today would be impossible to forget, right up until the day of the exam.
Time slipped by, and before I knew it, the practical exam day at Cheonmu Hunter Academy had arrived. The students who had come to take the test swarmed the entrance in numbers that were no joke. If they were planning to cut roughly half of the people who sat the written exam, the crowd would be about one and a half times last week's flood of test-takers—so the packed crush of bodies was only natural.
"Khmm, h, huu...! E, excuse me, I, I'm just passing through!!"
...Still, she managed to find her way to our meeting spot somehow. The main gate would be far too crowded, so I'd told her to meet me in front of Hyeseong Hall, where we'd taken the exam together last time—and Cha Eunju had somehow succeeded in forcing her way through that sea of people to reach it.
"Eunju, over here."
"Ah, S, Seonho...!"
She staggered, squeezed between bodies, and the moment she spotted me she came running with the delighted face of a squirrel discovering a pile of acorns. Aside from the sex itself, her heart had all but crossed over to my side already. And now that her chest was fair game whenever I pleased, half her body might as well have belonged to me too.
When Cha Eunju came up to me, I deliberately put on a slightly apologetic expression and greeted her.
"It's been two days. If I'd known it would be this crowded, I should have arranged to meet earlier and come together."
"Y, yeah. Still, we managed to find each other somehow, so it worked out... right?"
"It did. Thank goodness. Did you rest well yesterday?"
"Yeah.... I, I'm completely prepped and ready today...! I feel like I could take down ten orcs right now...!"
"Good. That's the spirit."
Considering a reasonable passing line, there was really no need to take down anywhere near ten. Two orcs and about ten goblins was probably the level that would let you pass unobtrusively without drawing any attention. After all, they'd never assign an unreasonable practical challenge to hunter trainees who weren't even Official Licensed Hunters yet.
...That said, entirely separate from that logic, a certain incident was going to erupt during this Cheonmu Academy entrance exam—which meant drawing attention to myself in the process was, unfortunately, unavoidable.
'Once the exam starts, the first thing to do is confirm Kim Isabel's location. Those guys are guaranteed to show up targeting her.'
Spotting a silver-haired woman wearing a veil over her head wouldn't be particularly difficult. With numbers this large, finding her in the current crowd would probably be impossible—but by the time the first practical trial began, restricted to the top written-exam scorers, this multitude would be whittled down to roughly a hundred.
Kim Isabel, who had essentially no weaknesses apart from her androphobia, would obviously be on the top scorers' list, and Han Sora—the protagonist's childhood friend—had also been one of the top scorers in the original story.
-Pat, pat.
"Heut?! Wh, why...?"
"No reason. Just felt like petting you."
"...O, okay...."
And Cha Eunju, standing beside me with her head shyly bowed, was also a top scorer, for all that her appearance suggested otherwise. A top scorer's partner didn't need to be a top scorer themselves to take the first practical trial—so the protagonist, as Han Sora's partner, would presumably be showing his face openly at this exam as well.
Following the original plot, this event would be where Kim Isabel first learned of the protagonist's existence, and where the seed of something more than friendship—actual affection—began to sprout between Han Sora and him.
'Sorry to the guy, but I need to put this event to use for myself.'
Han Sora, Kim Isabel—in the end, I intended to make every one of them mine. There was no reason on earth to leave a favorability event this good lying around for the protagonist's exclusive benefit.
