Chapter 142 - Acceptance
However, as she got to know Emilia more, that aversion slowly changed into attraction, and before she realized what was happening, the blonde girl found herself far too deep in the quagmire of love to ever have any hope of extricating herself.
Once she realized that there was no way out, Crystal had already been determined to one day, somehow, prove herself good enough for Emilia. Only then would she boldly approach her and declare her love, and no matter what the girl's response was, Crystal would have the peace of heart knowing that she tried her best.
But Emilia's constant teasing and flirting always threw her off, and the heroine often found herself feeling lost and scared.
While she was experiencing it for herself, it felt good, she won't deny that. After all, who wouldn't want to be showered with affection from their crush? But when she thought about how it could mean that Emilia never really took her seriously, it filled her with dread instead.
Even if she thought so, however, there was no way she could push away Emilia's soft lips that were already pressing against her own, and no way she could deny the blossoming happiness in her heart either.
The only thing she could do now was to indulge herself in this sweet, sweet poison that Crystal knew would only cause her to sink deeper and deeper.
Emilia's gentle kiss slowly turned passionate, and even the passive heroine couldn't help but respond feverishly as she found her crush climb on top of her to deepen it further and further. Even when Emilia licked her lips, the blonde girl found herself unable to muster any resistance.
Emilia had actually never intended to be as 'presumptuous' with the heroine as she was with her knight. She didn't press their bodies together while kissing, still remembering how Dixie had snubbed her the last time. Emilia had learned that she had to be slow and steady.
A sweet, delighted moan escaped Emilia's throat as the heroine parted her lips. Crystal wished she was brave enough to take the initiative to turn Emilia over, nibble on her lips, maybe even bite her tongue.
Emilia had been extremely happy when, unlike Dixie and Cynthia, Crystal allowed her to have a deeper kiss. Her new formula was indeed better, she thought. But Emilia never expected that as soon as put her tongue in, she would receive a sharp bite from the 'shocked' heroine.
Both of them froze as Emilia whimpered, and Crystal found herself mortified. 'O-Oh no…'
Emilia didn't separate from her immediately, thankfully, and gave her a confused, pitiful look instead. "Y-You bit me?"
The blonde girl felt incredibly embarrassed as she turned her head away. Her mind was still filled with how incredible the feeling had been just before. "S-Sorry, it just… happened."
Emilia breathed a sigh of relief. She had been a little worried that maybe she grossly misjudged the heroine in some way, and her advances weren't welcome at all. "Oh… It's okay. Mhm, you must have been surprised. Let's try again!"
And so, before Crystal could reconsider it, Emilia had once more leaned forward.
This time, Emilia was even gentler than before, treating her like a treasure, and only briefly brushed her lips against Crystal's, making sure she was comfortable and used to it before she went any further.
Of course, now that she was more certain of Crystal's acceptance, she didn't hesitate to let her body rest completely on top of the girl, squishing their breasts together as their thighs pressed against each other.
Crystal was determined to not repeat the same mistake again, and even took the initiative to deepen the kiss herself. With Emilia's soft body pressing against her, the kiss really had another 'dimension', and within minutes, her brain already felt a little foggy as the heroine let go of all her complicated thoughts and simply indulged herself in the pleasure of the moment.
Although Crystal didn't have any extra experience herself, she could tell that Emilia's kisses had been somehow 'better' than when she was the one taking the initiative. Clearly, her crush was more 'talented' than herself, but Crystal was determined to make up for it with passion.
Much to Crystal's frustration, however, just when things were about to get steamy, Dixie's phone started ringing.
Emilia sighed as she gave Crystal one last affectionate peck before she let her go. "Go to sleep, I'll take the call. It's probably her mom."
The blonde girl stared wistfully as her crush quickly left the room along with Dixie's phone while the girl in question continued to sleep peacefully. 'Well, it's alright… W-We shouldn't be going this fast anyway. Uhm, this is for the best! I'll handle that Randy bastard first, and then pursue her honestly.'
It only took Emilia a few seconds to go all the way downstairs before accepting the call, and before she could even greet her, Mrs. Brown's exasperated voice started scolding her.
"Didn't I tell you to not stay out too late for a few days? Seriously, Dixie, unless you're out there banging that princess of yours—"
Emilia couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "A-Aunty, uhm, it's me, Emilia…"
"Ah…"
Even with just one word, the 'I just fucked up' feeling was clearly conveyed across the line.
"…"
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Mrs. Brown couldn't help but sigh regretfully. "D-Don't tell me I have committed the great sin of interrupting the two of you?"
Emilia couldn't help but blush in shame. After all, this was her friend's mother. "N-No, uhm… Dixie is sleeping. She got too tired and went to sleep before she realized it. I should have informed you earlier, sorry!"
Mrs. Brown didn't know whether she was happy or sad. On one hand, it was a good thing that she hadn't been the one to interrupt her daughter right when she was about to screw the haughty little princess she always worshiped. On the other hand… that stupid simp was sleeping over with her prospective lover, and she really was just honestly sleeping over! How shameful!
The middle-aged lady shook her head. Plotting against Mr. Black had really distracted her too much, to the point where she made such a blunder. "No no no, it's fine! In fact, I overreacted. The driver just told me she was with a friend, not you. That incompetent moron! Oh nevermind. The two of you, uhm, enjoy, I'll just—"
Emilia sighed after she bade goodnight to Dixie's mother, and when she returned to Crystal's room, she found that both of her friends were peacefully sleeping on either side of the bed, leaving plenty of space in the center.
Maybe the emotional ups and downs were really too much for the heroine tonight. Unfortunately, Emilia couldn't just indulge herself in sleep quite yet, since she still had to meet Samantha tonight.
She gave Crystal a kiss on the cheek before leaving again. 'Now let's see what that stupid 'hero' is planning.'
