wildflower chapter 1 (r-18)

“Um… Cairn. Will you grant my wish this time too?”

Outside the window, double cherry blossoms were in full bloom, marking the late spring of Baltan.

“Yes, Lilian. Anything.”

Quiet, fine raindrops diligently brought down the blossoms. With each delicate, overlapping petal that fell away, Lilian’s hidden inner self slowly revealed itself.

“Then, first, hold me.”

At Lilian’s confident request, Cairn sat on the edge of the bed and awkwardly pulled her into his arms.

“…Stroke my hair, too.”

“You’re such a child.” Despite his gruff reply, Cairn slowly combed his fingers through Lilian’s auburn hair.

“I have one last request as a friend… This is really, truly the last one.” Lilian buried her face deep in his broad chest and sighed softly. Would her longtime friend grant this difficult request, too?

“Hold… me.”

“I am holding you.” Cairn tightened his arms around Lilian, pulling her closer.

Knowing that crossing this line would be irreversible, her lips still parted on their own. “Not like that.”

At Lilian’s next words, Cairn’s chest, which had been rising and falling rapidly, stilled.

“Sleep with me, Cairn.”

“Cairn, we can’t have s*x with your clothes on.” Justifying her actions, Lilian finished unbuttoning Cairn’s shirt and quickly reached for his trousers. While she fumbled with them, he covered his eyes with his hand, allowing her clumsy ministrations.

Every time her hesitant fingertips brushed against the thick, long length beneath his underwear, a low groan escaped his lips. The moment Lilian finally peeled away his last layer, she shifted back slightly, abandoning the playful demeanor she’d maintained until then.

“Uh… uh?” Having done nothing yet, Lilian was taken aback by the formidable presence she now faced. Something like that…had not been part of her plan.

“What? Going to run away now that you’ve undressed me?” Cairn pulled the retreating Lilian close, and as the sheets slipped down, her small, delicate mound was revealed. Cairn’s intense gaze swept down her n*ked body, finally resting on the parted flesh between her thighs. He swallowed hard.

As if entranced, he reached out and gently caressed the curve of her lower back, causing her n*pples to peak.

“Um, so… this is…” Lilian’s eyes flicked downwards, meeting the gaze of Cairn’s aroused member. Well, it didn’t have eyes, but still. She quickly squeezed them shut.

The bigger and uglier it is, the more pleasure it gives a woman. The suggestive words of a certain voluptuous noblewoman echoed in her ears. According to that noblewoman’s score sheet, Cairn’s… attribute deserved a high score. It was big, long, and…uneven.

Drawing on this secondhand knowledge, Lilian offered Cairn a clumsy compliment. “B-Big and… u-ugly.”

“…What?” The object of her praise, already swelling, grew even more imposing.

“Uh…? It got uglier.”

Encouraged by Lilian’s reaction, Cairn pulled her down onto the bed with him.

“Are you playing with me right now?”

Hoping to appease his angered tone, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Lilli.” Lilian lifted her face from Cairn’s shoulder, and he eagerly captured her lips.

“Mmmph—” Lilian gasped in surprise as his tongue pushed forcefully into her mouth. His kiss was unusually urgent, yet familiarly cool and tinged with the scent of pine. Pressed against her chest, his heart beat fast and hard.

Cairn pulled back momentarily, his chest heaving. As he caught his breath, the impatient Lilian whimpered. His self-control snapped, and he kissed her again, ravenously.

His hand, now resting on her hip, tightened and released repeatedly.

“Mmm…” He sucked on her tongue, his rough movements scraping against the sensitive skin inside her mouth, grazing her teeth.

This uncontrolled, forceful Cairn was new to her, and Lilian felt a flicker of fear. The alcohol-induced haze was also beginning to clear. Just then, his fingers trailed down her hip, past her perineum, and parted her outer lips.

“Nn… strange.” Lilian turned her head, breathing heavily. His clumsy touch sent shivers through her as he explored her most intimate folds.

Unlike his rough handling of her breasts, the blunt tip of his index finger, now circling inside her, was surprisingly gentle.

“Are you alright? Does it hurt?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Lilian nodded, indicating she was fine. Cairn’s broad, soft thumb pressed against her clit.

“Ahh… uh…” A warm sensation spread through her lower abdomen, accompanied by a chilling wave of nervousness.
