“Whew… It’s okay… You’re going to keep doing it with me from now on, so you need to get more used to it. Look at me.”

Violet barely lifted her head and met his eyes. The Duke of Belfos’s face was still so grim it made her body tremble, but somehow his gaze seemed a little softer than when they first met.

Smooch.

Without thinking, Violet was the first to kiss his lips. It was an impulsive act.

“You don’t need permission for this much. I’ll forgive you because you’re cute.”

Then he parted his lips and drew in her rosy mouth as if he were going to bite and devour it.
