Tumble stood on her tip toes and licked my cheek, bringing me back into the moment.
Her drool is so sparkly.
Oh yeah. Duh!
I gag myself and release a globule of spit. Tumble does the same and we both rub it all over his severed limbs. I keep my mind focused on healing so I don’t absorb any of his blood. Once his severs were lubricated, Tumble and I reattached his arms and legs.
“I’m not going to die! I knew lolicons had to have some kinda super power!” he cheered, only able to move his face.
Hearing him say silly stuff brought tears to my eyes.
He was alive and I was going to keep him that way!
Something came crashing down from the sky. It was another metal man, only it was three times the size and wield a long sword. With a single slash, he cut through the bandits attacking Luna.
Maybe he’s on our side.
It turned it’s weapon on Luna and sliced through her shadow as she raised it like a wall. A powerful torrent of water washed the massive metal man away. Mommy rode the torrent, slashing at the extra big metal man.
The metal man’s body became superheated, melting her wave before grabbing her in his arms.
“You need not worry. I will deal with that creature,” said the assassin, sending chains out from his vortex and into Mommy.
Luna turned to face me. “You and Tumble have to survive. My story ends here. Shade Pursuit.” Black energy came from her and entered my shadow.
“No! I can help too! I won’t lose you!” My shadow moved on it’s own and my legs along with it. I resisted with all my might, but only managed to slow the run into a walk.
“Shade Beast.” Luna’s aura enveloped her, giving her shadow claws and fangs. She leaped at the Machine Man.
I could see Mommy shooting water bullets at the chains bringing her into the vortex. For each one she cut, three more appeared.
Before turning the corner, with Yu-ki on my back, I saw the machine man grab hold of Luna. Its head opened up into a massive cannon that was building up energy.
I didn’t see what happened, but I heard a wretched scream that shook me to my core.
Luna…
The shadow hex she put on my legs vanished. I couldn’t walk. I could hardly breathe.
Tumble hugged me tightly and cried against my shoulder.
My body absorbed the energy, but it still wouldn’t budge.
I was suddenly lifted off my feet.
Yu-ki held me to his chest as he ran away with me and Tumble in his arms.
Was Mommy killed too? Am I alone now?
Tumble grabbed my hand and forced a smile through her tears.
The three of us left Street Trash. I looked over my shoulder, seeing a cloud of smoke over the town. I coughed violently. It was as if the smoke cloud had cast itself over my happy life. My body had taken in its toxins and I had no idea how to expel them. We went deeper into the unnamed forest. Yu-ki set us down and turned away from us.
“My boyfriend and I were brought here together.” Yu-ki wiped his eyes. “We are from another world, one without superpowers but with a wide variety of entertainment. Despite all the modern convivences, we were happy to get away from our world. Our parents never approved of us being together but that never stopped us. We would sneak out and go to the fair after dark. It was just me and Richie. We had the whole park to ourselves. When the assassin came, we both tried to defend the other. Ha-ha. We didn’t last long. I remember dying in his arms. It was scary, but I could handle it because we were together. It was a cliché death. Hand in hand, just telling each other we love one another and that we’ll see each other in the next life.” He turns to us with a smile. “Well, that happened a lot sooner than expected. We woke up in this world, in a village not too far from where we are now. We’re told to become heroes. Richy and I were big nerds so the idea sounded fun. We accepted and we rose up the ranks pretty fast. I was always into kendo and he was excellent at archery even before we came here. After a successful quest, we would always come to the stage and be rewarded. When I was getting a medal pinned to my shirt for successfully protecting the village from an enemy raid, Richy suddenly pulls me into a kiss. The crowd went wild. They were cheering and whistling. They loved it. They loved us. That night Richy and I decided we were never going back home. We finished quest after quest and well, it all felt like a dream. We were the famous hero couple: the PaciFister and the PeaceMaker. He would disarm them with his archery and I would go in for the knockout. We got overconfident. One day we were sent to take down a catboy general. His name was DeathPaw. Richie’s arrows were deflected and I…I jumped down from a tree above the enemy. He couldn’t react quick enough. I sliced off his arm, thinking he would be helpless. Next thing I see is the sword from that arm…in Richie’s chest. I didn’t even think about escape. I just went to Richie and held him close to me. I couldn’t talk because I was so scared.” Yu-ki turns away and sobs.
Tumble and I each grab onto one of his hands.
“You don’t need to say anymore,” I said, wiping my eyes with my free hand.
“I…I should have cut off that bastard’s head. If I had, then Richie would still be here.” Yu-ki gripped my hand tightly. “He smiled at me even as he left me. He said, it’s a been a fun ride. DeathPaw laughed at us, he mocked my tears and Richie’s death. I was too damn sad to even get upset. Apparently, I was so pathetic that he decided not to kill me. Have you ever heard of something so pitiful?”
I held Yu-ki’s hand to my face and nestled it, hoping my affection could whoosh away his pain.
“You think I’d learn my lesson, right? Well I didn’t. I can’t kill. Not even the worst guys. I saw a cat soldier soon after that and I sliced off his head. I kept stabbing the body over and over. I tried to bury sadness with rage but it didn’t work. I didn’t see that damn general’s body. I only saw Richie. I can’t kill without remembering his death. I thought of killing myself, but I couldn’t do that either. Now I just live each day as a loner, rescuing as many people as I can with no regard for my own life. I don’t know how long I’ve been alone. I’m sorry I’m rambling, but I don’t…I’m not going to see you again. I don’t want you making the same mistakes I did. Do what you have to do to protect those you cherish.”
“You can’t leave us. I’m scared,” I said, holding onto him.
“I told you our story so that our memory lives on.” Yu-ki takes out a fish scale. “It’s still glowing. This means your mother is still alive. Now what kind of hero would I be if I didn’t bring a girl back to her mother?”
“Wait!” I let go of Yu-ki and concentrate my energy.
I think of Luna and try to create a book.
If it appears, then that means she’s alive and I can rescue her!
A book appears, but it’s pink not black. I open it up.
It’s not about Luna. It’s about Yu-ki.
“The mermaid scale thing you said is a lie.” I sob and punch his leg. “Why are you lying?”
Yu-ki picked me up and embraced me. “I just wanted to give you some hope. I’m sorry.”
“Mommy and Luna are gone. You can’t leave us.”
“But I can’t stay either. I’m terrified. If I let you down…if you two die because of me and my stupid code…then what the hell do I do?”
“If you leave us, then we’ll die anyways. They’re going to find us and kill us!” I whined.
“Not if we get you two to a village. Angels are worshiped by villagers and they’re paired up with heroes. Richie and I were idiots, we didn’t want an angel because we didn’t want her to get hurt. She could have healed him; he could be here right now if I wasn’t so stupid.”
I poked his chest. “Nobody hurts my Yu-ki! Not even you. Do it again and I’ll poke you harder,” I said with a grumpy face.
“Fair enough. Okay, so I’ll get you two to the closest village.” He takes out a map from his pocket. “Aha! Sunny Village is just half a day’s walk from here.”
“So, you’re going to take us there so we can get paired with a hero?” I asked, folding my arms.
“Yep. That’s the plan,” said Yu-ki, ruffling my hair.
I shake my head. “I already have a hero. Mommy always wants what’s best for me. You’re the best hero, so you are going to protect me.”
“I failed you. I don’t deserve…”
I poked Yu-ki’s leg. “Stop it. I’ve already decided. You can’t change my mind.”
“Fine, then we’ll go to the village and we’ll get properly teamed up,” said Yu-ki.
I look to my hero’s book but Yu-ki closes it.
“Just trust me, okay?” asked Yu-ki.
“I’m an angel. I can read your emotions. Prove I can trust you.”
“How can I prove it?”
I step on my tippy toes and make a kissy face.
Yu-ki sighs. “Okay. Fine.” He crouches down and kisses my forehead sweetly.
I roll my eyes. “You’re my boyfriend, not my mommy.” I hop up and wrap my arms around his shoulders. Our lips are just inches apart. “Kiss me like you mean it.”
Yu-ki blushes a super tasty pink color. I lick his cheeks as he rambles on.
“Oh. Okay see. I think there’s some confusion here. I’m not a lolicon. I said that as a joke because I was overwhelmed. I had nearly died, after all. And well, it was after you gave me that rather, uh, passionate kiss.”
“You’re so sweet when you’re being bashful,” I said, rubbing my hands on his chest.
Tumble jumped up and down, cheering me on.
“My heart belongs to Richie. I can’t be your boyfriend. Also, when you healed me, well, my arms got swapped. You don’t want a opposite armed freak to be your partner, right?” he asked, putting his hand in my face.
Ouch. I really messed up. Poor guy. I gotta make it up to him!
My tail wrapped around his hand and made it caress my cheek. “Don’t worry. I’m not asking,” I said, sticking out my tongue.
Yu-ki needs someone to fill that hole in his heart. I’m gonna make it overflow with the super love energy he’s gonna get from all my huggies and kissies!
I press my lips against his and drool into his mouth.
His eyes become more relaxed and he kisses back.
There we go. He’s finally unwinding.
I tap his nose. “Why don’t we lie down together? It’s getting dark,” I said, pointing to the sky.
“It’s sunny out,” he said with a curious look.
I poked his side. “Don’t argue with me.”
“Okay. Okay. Let’s uh, find some where we can lie down together,” he said with a nervous smile.
“Uhn!” exclaimed Tumble, gesturing to the leaf bed she had prepared.
“Thanks Tumble,” I said, giving her a thumbs up.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Tumble responded with two prickly thumbs up.
Such a great sister.
Yu-ki eases onto the pile of leaves and I just stare into his eyes. He shuffles in place and turns away. “Since it’s so late, we should really get some sleep,” he says, putting a big leaf over his eyes to shield him from the sun.
I roll on top of him and kiss him again, drooling more into his mouth.
He no longer resists. He caressed my face as he kisses me.
I feel so happy! Yu-ki loves me! He really loves me!
Tumble pulls me up from him and removes his shirt. She then throws it up, having it land on the tree branch above.
Best sister ever.
Yu-ki shield’s his face with his hands. “I feel funny,” he said with a dazed frown.
I feel funny too. And my body feels really hot.
I realize my thighs are moving up and down Yu-ki’s legs. “Whee!” I cheer, increasing the speed of my own volition while giggling.
I need to fully be in the moment. I don’t want to miss a second of this.
I wiggle up to his ear and kiss it. “Yu-ki.”
“Y-Yeah?” he asks, shaking a bit.
I grab his hands and caress them till they stop shaking. “My Mommy told me that when I find my special someone I shouldn’t hold back my love. We’re going to make a ton of little sisters!” I exclaim, barraging his cheek with kisses.
“Whoa. Slow down. You’re only sixteen. I’m like a whole year above you. That’s a huge gap that can never be overcome,” he said, his cheeks flaring up.
“How old were you when you first made love to Richie?”
“I was fourteen and he was sixteen,” said Yu-ki, scratching his cheek.
“Two whole years.”
“Yeah…”
“You know what I think? I think that if you keep kissing me, then I’ll grow up faster. A plant grows up super duper quick when it’s showered with love, after all.”
“Y-Yeah.”
Once I make Yu-ki mine, he won’t be able to leave me. It’s what’s best for both of us.
Suddenly I feel Yu-ki’s hands on me. He’s caressing my sides. He leans into kiss me.
The leaf falls off his eyes and I see them.
They’re swirling and blissed out.
“Lots of little sisters,” said Yu-ki in a daze, pulling up my shirt.
I yank my shirt down. “Sorry. Let’s stop. I don’t know what’s going on,” I said, pulling away.
My legs won’t stop moving against him. It feels good. Way too good.
“I don’t really want to stop,” said Yu-ki, breathing heavily while tickling me.
“I…I don’t either, but this isn’t right. You’re not you and I’m feeling light headed too. I wanted to forget the pain, but I…don’t want to take advantage of you,” I said, turning away from him.
Yu-ki embraced me. “As you wish. Let’s just lie down together. I’ll snuggle away those tears.”
I nuzzled up to him and kissed his hand. “That sounds great.”
Tumble dived into my arms, completing the cuddle puddle.
I woke up, kissing Tumble’s cheeks.
She giggled, turned around and nuzzled me.
I looked up at the night sky. “Sorry about before, Yu-ki. I didn’t mean to push you into…where’s Yu-ki.” I rolled over and he was gone.
Tumble pointed to a footprint the dirt.
A Gobli footprint. What if he was kidnapped? Wait, Yu-ki is way too strong. Oh no. Yu-ki left us for that not as cute as me Gobli girl!
Tumble started to cry.
It’s all my fault. I scared him off because I was too pushy.
I hugged her and pet her lovingly. “We don’t know for sure if Luna and Mommy are…gone. And if we talk to the locals maybe we can find the Goblin den Yu-ki ran off to. Well that is if he still wants to see me.” I wipe my eyes.
Tumble pulled out a map from her pocket. She pulled me up to her and pointed to the nearest village. “Suunii.”
“That’s right. Sunny Village! Wait, how did you get this?”
Tumble hid her face behind her hands.
I pulled her hands away and smiled. “I’m not angry with you. Just be careful who you steal from, okay?”
Tumble saluted and the force of her hand hitting her head caused her to slip. She landed in the pile of leaves and giggled.
“Sunny Village is to the East…but which way is East?” I asked.
Tumble pointed behind me and nodded.
“I’d be lost without you,” I said, hoisting her onto my shoulders.
We encountered a few dangers on the way to Sunny Village, but thankfully Tumble and I were able to charm any creature that tried to hurt us with our expertly practiced adorable duet dance routine. Together we were unstoppable and we were going to find out what happened to our family!
Sunny Village was a vibrant place. All the huts were wooden and colored bright fiery colors. There was even a sign that said “Welcome to Sunny Village. Toss Your Worries into the Furnace!” Tumble bowed to the sign.
It was still nighttime when we arrived, but the village was fully lit by Lamperns.
I stood up on my tippy toes and Tumble stood up on my shoulders, lifting the shade from the shortest Lampern.
“What wonderful reason have you decided to bother me for?” asked the Lampern in a jolly voice.
“My sister and I are looking for work.”
“Sorry to tell you but there’s no child labor in this village. It’s all sunshine and smiles here!” The flames inside the Lampern took shape into a big smile.
“Mommy told me that Lampern’s are Agni elementals that have been imprisoned.”
“I’m sure your mommy had a really splendid reason for telling you something like that. But I’m free to leave whenever I want!”
“So, there’s no place for angels to get work?” I asked.
A shadowy figure came out behind me. “Did you say angel?” The voice was a ghostly whisper.
I turned around. It was a hooded man like the one who hurt Mommy, but he was much shorter. Perhaps only a boy.
Tumble grabbed the Lampern and held it out defensively.
“No need for aggression. I’m surprised is all. We’ve never had an angel actually come here. Usually we have to purchase them.”
“Wait, you mean you don’t kill angels?” I ask, picking up Tumble and taking a step back.
“We don’t do anything that isn’t good here. And no. RiftRippers like myself are allies to angels. I know we’re a bit scary looking, but we are your sworn friends.”
“Then why did one of you attack my Mommy?” I asked with an interrogative glare.
“Must have been a freelancer. The less savory RiftRippers steal angels for villages in need. I wouldn’t worry too much. Your mother is most certainly alive.”
Mommy is alive! Yay!
Tumble set down the lantern. She climbed up the nearby bench and patted the RiftRippers head.
“Glad we got those bad vibes out of the way. My name is Sickle. My parents named me after Lord Death’s weapon of choice…unknowingly that is.” His shoulder’s drooped. “See they were superstitious farmers who felt that having a sharp name would make me more adept with the equipment.”
“Your kind, they have Mommies?” I asked.
“Yeah. I still live with my parents too. One of the perks of being a trainee. We’re going on vacation when my initiation comes. I’m a bit apprehensive about it honestly.”
“I’m sorry for judging you. We just had a really bad experience.” I bowed to him.
“Cast those worries into the furnace! There’s no bad or judgement in this place. Sunny village is a happy, prosperous town!”
“Can you help us find work? Tumble and I want to become brave adventurers.”
Tumble rolled in front of me and struck a dramatic pose. I followed afterward, grabbing my tail like a sword and putting on an intense look.
“Sunny village hasn’t had an angel since that shadow pup girl.”
Luna!
“What happened to her!”
“She was…um…she left. Best not to talk about not so happy things. Why don’t I take you to the guild hall. As a member of ISEKAI, I can get you a free drink,” said Sickle, whipping out his badge.
I squinted and read the acronym. Imported Skilled Earthling Kid Adventurer’s Initiative.
Sickle’s smiled beneath his cloak. “The little portal emblem in the center shows that I’m part of the Import faction. Isekai has four main factions, the village chiefs, the importers, the heroes and the angels. On behalf of sunny village I heartily welcome you!” The RiftRipper hugged me and Tumble.
“How do you import heroes?”
Yu-ki said his lover and him were killed by an assassin. Did they force him here by killing him?
“I can’t answer such an unpleasant question. Now come on, ISEKAI members get discounts on everything here!” he said, leading us down the orange tiled street to a building with a bubbly cat on the sign above it.
The person behind the bar was a Dwar. He stood atop a stool and was smiling from ear to ear.
“Two milks for our growing angels here,” said Sickle.
“No. The only milk we drink is mommy’s milk,” I said with a firm nod. “We’ll have some grape juice.”
“Oh, that’s even better. The grape juice here is incredible. Sorry, nobody is up at the moment. The village has a strict, err, I mean a healthy sleeping schedule. We go to bed when the Cuckatrices sing and wake up when they sing. As for me, I stand guard, I mean watch, in case visitors come around.”
The bartender added some sprinkles to our drinks, set up a small slide and then slid them down into our hands.
I giggled. “This place is fun!”
“Yep! We try to make everything we do super fun!” cheered Sickle. “Oh, it’s getting rather late. The inn will close soon. If we hurry, we can get you two a room!” He skipped out the bar and we followed.
The inn was the prettiest building of them all, a blend of all the brightest colors came together to make a beautiful rainbow along it’s wooden walls.
“Sickle is here with some guests!” cheered the RiftRipper, picking up the BellBloom flower and jingling it.
Such a pleasant sound. Like a river’s current and a Cuckatrice’s song melded together.
Sickle hopped behind the desk and took off his hood. He was a human like Yu-ki. He had bags over his eyes, pale skin and a quaky smile.
“How can I help you young ladies?” asked Sickle.
“Um, we’d like a room to stay in, Mr. Sickle.”
“I run the inn for the night shift. Don’t worry, I’m not dissociative, though it’s not uncommon for RiftRippers to become dissociative after initiation. Let me check our record book.” He lifted up the notebook and cycled through the pages. “Room 297 is our best room and the only place worthy of our special guests!” He lifted up a VocalVenus, a yellow funnel-shaped plant that had dozens of roots that went up the wall and through the ceiling. “Hello, room inhabitant, we need you to vacate the room immediately. You will be relocated to another of our high maintenance rooms.”
“Oh, we aren’t picky. We can take any room and we only need one bed,” I said, holding Tumble close to me.
“I would vacate this entire building for you angels. If you had any idea how important you were, then you’d understand. This entire village is at your disposal,” said Sickle with a bow.
Wow. I never expected to be so beloved. Yu-ki was right, they really do worship us here. Maybe this place could be our new home.
An old man apparated before us. “Why was I told to leave my room? You do realize I’m the village chief, don’t you?”
The Old Man had wrinkles that looked like the mystical runes on GlyphTurtles, a permanent smile, and a beard of vibrant purple leaves.
Sickle gestured to me and my sister.
“Go on, speak,” said the Old Man, who had vines coming out from his white pupils.
He must be blind.
“Two guardian angels have come to our village and are looking for work,” said Sickle.
The Old Man bowed in every direction, chanting a hymn I couldn’t quite understand. “This village is at your service, my goddesses.”
Goddess! Wow, are Tumble and I really that special?
The Old Man’s vines branched out till they touched Sickle. “There you are. What are you waiting for? Go and bring them to their room. We can figure out a sleeping arrangement for me later. I’d sleep on this cold wood if the little goddesses willed it!”
Sickle hopped over the desk and led us up the stairs.
“That old guy, um, what’s his name?” I asked.
“Old Guy is fine. You can call him whatever you like,” said Sickle.
“We think Tumble’s father was a Wood Primordial. Is that what he is?” I ask.
“Yep. His flesh was sliced to make every building you see. Without Old Guy, this village wouldn’t even exist.” Sickle took us to the room.
The door was made of redwood and was super shiny.
“Uhhh,” said Tumble, waving at her reflection on the door.
Sickle opened the door. “I’m not even allowed to look inside, but I hope you all enjoy your stay. If you need anything at all, we’ll be forced to comply,” he said with a big smile.
Tumble and I entered the room. It was a calm green color, nothing like the rest of the village. The bed had a small lake inside it, but Tumble and I made sure there were no fishies trapped in it.
Tumble lifted up the pillow and rested her head against it. She then collapsed to the floor.
I felt the material and then grabbed my ears. They were the same.
The pillows are made from Sleepy Sheepies. Does that mean that they were killed?
Tumble popped up and pressed the pillow to my head.
It was so soft. I drifted into a deep sleep.
The Cuckatrice’s song woke me up. Tumble was nestled close to me.
There was a knock at the door.
“Who is it?” I asked, fixing up my hair.
“It’s Old Guy, the village chief. We’ve prepared you a hearty breakfast and want to bring you to the temple as soon as possible. We’ve rounded up our finest heroes and will have them compete to see who are the two most worthy!” he exclaimed.
I hopped out of bed and opened the door. “We only need one hero! Tumble and I are sticking together.”
“What about if the four of you came together as a group?” asked Old Guy.
Yu-ki had a partner but he didn’t have an angel. I suppose the more heroes the better.
“Do you have fresh fruits? We’d like to meet our hero soon, so we’ll just snack on the way,” I said, walking out the room, hand in hand with my little sister.
“As you command.” Old Guy vanished and then reappeared with a fruit bowl.
It was a rainbow of different juicy delicacies.
“Only the finest and purest food for our little goddesses,” said Old Guy.
Wait, he keeps calling us Goddesses. I hope we don’t disappoint these people. Our powers aren’t exactly the strongest.
Old Guy took us to the temple. It was tall and colored like the sun, with the brightest wood used at the top of the structure. The doors opened and we were blessed by a ray of light.
Wow.
Fifteen shirtless young men were on the temple podium, flexing their stuff.
Temples are awesome.
“We’re a small village but what we lack in size we make up for with spirit,” said Old Guy, the wrinkles on his face bending into smiles.
“So, what kind of test are you gonna give them?” I ask.
“Well first we have to test compatibility. The bond between an angel and their hero is of absolute importance,” said Old Guy.
“Great, so, uh, how do I do that?” I ask with a friendly smile.
“You have to kiss them, of course,” said Old Guy.
He expects me to just kiss a bunch of hot guys and cute boys I just met? Awesome!
“So, do I just uh, get up there and smooch it up?” I look over the crowd gathering in the pews.
Wow, they all look super happy.
“Am I going to do that in front of everyone?” I ask, twiddling my finger in my hair.
Not sure how I feel about that.
Old Guy led us up to the stage. “An angel’s kiss is a spiritual sacrament. The entire village is gathered here to witness the miracle.”
“Umm, Tumble is a bit young for kissing. Maybe she can just go for hugs instead,” I said, giving her a hug which she gladly returned.
“That’s absolutely fine. You’re the only one who needs to test the bond, after all.” Old Guy stepped up to the podium and started chanting.
The boys walked behind the vibrant red curtain in the back.
“The Great Goddess, queen of all angelic beings, has blessed our constant positive energy! Two angels have come to grace us, and they are here to stay! Give praise to the angels!” he cheered.
The Great Goddess, exalted is she,
Created angels and all we see,
Her tears becomes life
Her blood gives us hope
Her love, infinite as the sky,
It moves forth the gears of time.
Blessed are her angels,
Purer than faith.
Blessed be the heroes.
Our valiant saints.
May their bond
Live on and on
And may we live to see
A world that angels ushered in
Where everyone is free!
Blessed be the Goddess
Both merciful and wise.
Blessed be her children
Blessed be their lives!
Tumble was dancing to the music all along, and invited me to join in too. When the song was over. The temple fell silent. Everyone was concentrating together. Tumble opened up her arms and took in the positive vibes. The boys were then brought in, led by a cloaked figure, likely a RiftRipper.
The first one in line was the strongest. He had a rough edge behind that big smile on his face. The RiftRipper chanted as he led the boy to the very back of the temple, behind the curtain. After a few moments, the curtain opened. The boy was completely naked and bound in place by a red chain around his arm.
Mommy always told me to listen to my intuition. But I didn’t know what to think. This was surely an odd ritual, but these people were super nice. There’s no way anything bad would happen.
A mobile staircase was placed by the window.
The way his naked body shimmered in the sunlight was enchanting.
Before I knew it, I was on the top step.
I leaned forward and gave the hot boy a gentle kiss.
I save real kisses for guys I know.
He sucked my tongue into his mouth.
Wow. He’s a really good kisser.
My tongue was trapped between his teeth.
What’s going on?
Blood mixed with saliva.
I looked into his eyes and saw only malice.
