Chasing Elysian

34. Bliss & Emotions

Rosanna's P. O. V:

His lips were cool. And it wasn't repulsive. It felt like taking a sip of chilled water after walking under the sun dehydrated for hours. It was that cool refreshing feeling.

But I thought the novels lied. Why would someone's lips have such strong tastes?

I've always been a fan of drinks with slight alcoholic content and Kairos' lips were molded to my perfection. Intoxicating, chill and darn soft I wanted to chew it.

So I bite it slightly.

It was chewy and I wanted more.

Rael moved his lips on mine and my mind went blank. He was the only one doing anything. I just stayed still like a statue.

His red orbs seemed to search mine while he kissed me.

I didn't know what to do. What to feel. And how to not feel like there's a legion of dinosaurs having a happy festival in my stomach.

Was I even breathing? How does one breathe?

Lightly, Rael pushed my head closer and our teeth clashed. And something warm and contrasting to his cool lips, slippery and thick slid into my mouth with little to no resistance.

His tongue was longer than average and fudging lewd. My mouth felt full and reflexively, I pushed his invasive tongue out with mine. And tried to pull back, pressing my hand on Rael's chest.

"Un..."

Slipping his tongue out, Rael stared at me with a burning gaze. His lips glistening red with saliva and maybe I wanted to chew it again.

Rael gave me the little seconds it took to breathe in and his other hand rubbed soothing circles on my back-- as if to tell me it's okay to feel weird, confused and... Weird.

"I can't do anything if you don't calm down, Rosa." He whispered.

"Don't resist. Don't think. Just feel. Can you do that?" He asked noticing the confusion in my eyes.

Somehow I understood what he meant. It's not about kissing him... It's about accessing my talent.

And I should focus. Or not.

"Do nothing at all?" I asked in mosquito like voice.

I've never been so lost on what to do. At least when I got thrown into this world, I had an objective. But being kissed... Do nothing? This isn't a normal kiss, is it?

I'm so confused. What exactly am I supposed to do?

"Nothing." He affirmed. Then sighed, eyes flickering elsewhere. He seemed to understand my inner thoughts.

I cannot not focus. But my focus is divided into the kiss and my talent. Achieving zero effects in whatever he planned to do.

Our skins parted and Rael stood up. In a flash he was by the light switch, then he turned it off with a sharp click and turned another on.

Darkness engulfed me for a split second before a dim blue light illuminated the room. Casting little brightness in the surrounding.
