The stocking she wore pulled up to her mid thigh, creating an indent in her leg that I never notice before. ...God, I'm just a man. "Aren't you gonna... take them off?" Her voice was quiet, gentle, like we were in library. I realized that I had been staring. "...Yes." I mumbled, reaching my hand to the top of her stocking and gently pulling it down her soft cream legs. They were almost hypnotizing. I grab the top of her other stocking and slowly pull it down as well. Her face, the color of a roses as her breath sounded a bit laborious. Without thought I picked up her calf, and brought it to my lips, softly kissing her knee. "L-Lorenzo?" She gasped. "Quiet." I mumbled, continuing to kiss all over her knee and below. Her breaths light echos around the room and I can't help but look up at her apple red face. "May I travel up?" I quietly ask, she looks down at me before nodding. Giving my lips permission to kiss all over her thighs. And I did exactly so. Started: 11/17/24 Ended: 04/3/25

Academic Rivals to Lovers in a Boarding School ..... "You wanna know the really dumb meaning behind my name?" He muses and I walk ahead of him. "Nope." "Basically, it means the transporter of goods by cart or wagon, it's from an old french word I believe. You wanna know yours?" "You looked up mine?" I question, hiding the small smile on my face, because I'm mad at him or whatever. For... I don't know why but I'm mad at him because I am. Carter catches up to me, grinning to himself. "Emilia means rivals, it's derived from the root of some latin word. Isn't that strange?" That's just a coincidence, he's probably lying anyway. "Yeah, real peculiar."
