Dungeon of Niflheim-Chapter 868: Confession (2)
’Nooo! Was I too hasty?’ A twisting pit formed in Frost’s stomach as he saw a flash of fear and confusion in Khione’s expression.
Her trepidation was unexpected, his work over the past couple days and in particular the past several hours seemingly falling short at the final hurdle.
Never in his wildest dreams did he actually expect his confession to result in a rejection, that even after all his careful restraint he had forced her into something she just wasn’t ready for.
The fear that cropped up whenever he made too bold a move was making its final stand.
Khione found herself before a split path, one side would see her abandon the man who had stubbornly wormed his way into the depths of her heart, to ignore the joy and excitement he brought her. The new feelings that he invoked within, feelings that she found herself craving and desiring far more than she could ever imagine.
The thought of rejecting him and in effect lying about her own feelings twisted her up inside but taking that final leap, openly admitting her desires with her own lips was no less terrifying.
Choosing this man meant choosing the unknown and the unknown was always terrifying. For a woman who had grown up sheltered and protected from the outside world, leaving that all behind was quite possibly the most daunting decision she had ever had to make.
Should she listen to her desires? The hopes of her parents and take the leap regardless of the consequences or should she remain in comfort, surrounded by what she already knew, safe and familiar. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
There was an awkward silence that lingered in the air after Frost’s confession. Khione’s face repeatedly transitioned between fear, joy, confusion and....hope. Her toes inching over the line multiple times before quickly pulling back. Her body appearing to be tearing itself apart as it attempted to go in two opposing directions. She was shaking and looked vulnerable and fragile despite her gargantuan size and highly developed physique.
Seeing her in such a state made Frost feel even worse, his mind recalled the intimate moments of their time together during this wonderful date. The last thing he wanted was to do was hurt her, to see her in quivering in pain and fear.
He therefore decided to make a choice that was akin to stabbing himself in the heart. The hand that was gently caressing and supporting Khione’s cheek started to pull away and his lips trembled as some difficult words tried to escape.
To lighten his own pain and give Khione a more secure escape while at the same time leaving a possible chance for the future Frost decided to recall his question, kicking Khione’s need to answer down the road allowing her more time to come to terms with her own feelings.
That was his chosen recourse but the moment his fingers started to pry themselves from Khione’s cheek, when the sensation and warmth of his touch was about to be severed the young Princess grabbbed hold of his hand, keeping it firmly in place. Her gaze that was dancing between him and the ocean waves, her body that was visibly shaking and the depths of fear that had sparked within her heart vanished.
She looked straight into Frost eyes, her immense strength returning to her body in an instant, discarding the perception of someone vulnerable and fragile as her heart thumped like an echoing bell and a bright smile adorned her lips.
"Khi....." Frost was taken by surprise, his intentions to backtrack being stopped before they had a chance to start.
"Please...don’t let go." A quiet whisper came from Khione as she rubbed her cheek against his hand and took a big step forward, her face mere inches away from Frost’s.
"Frost, these feelings I have are new and unknown. I’ve never thought of anyone in the same manner as I do you....I don’t know exactly what love is but what I do know is that the thought of being separated from you, to not be by your side and relish in your touch, hurts...like a knife stabbing into my heart, twisting and eviscerating it until no joy or happiness remains." As she spoke Khione took hold of Frost’s other hand and placed it against her own chest, letting him feel her pounding heartbeat, just as he had done for her.
"You are special to me, your existence being on the same level as my parents and most cherished siblings...if that is love then yes Frost I do love you; I love you with all my heart." An expression filled with warmth and affection covered her face as she looked at the handsome man standing before her. Those chains of fear, whispers of trepidation and the cold sensation of the unknown were meaningless in the face of her affection. She had chosen her path; she had chosen Frost.
A rollercoaster of emotions that nearly made something inside Frost break thankfully ended on a very high note. His smile that had begun to falter now stretched from ear to ear as relief and triumph bloomed.
His confession had been accepted and returned in kind how could he not be over the moon after hearing such glorious news.
"You love me hahaha she loves me hahahaha!" He beamed with joy, jumping up and down and even spun and hollered at the top of his lungs so everyone in the vicinity could join him in his revery.
Khione was a little embarrassed but didn’t stop him, feeling no less giddy by the situation. Eventually however she wanted his focus to return to her, so she placed her powerful hands on his shoulders and made him face her. Her bravery in accepting his confession making her feel bold and wanting.
"Is that it, you’re just going to scream and shout and leave me hanging here high and dry." Her exaggerated displeasure evident to the point that even Frost in his joyful stupor could pick up on it. His expression thus shifted, becoming lustful and teasing, his eyes radiating an intense heat as they roamed over Khione’s sinful body.
"What do you want my love, your wish is my command~" He cooed in a seductive manner as his hands started to roam and caress, an action that made Khione’s skin tingle and a similarly lustful expression appear on her face.
"So uncouth, are you really gonna make me ask?" She responded in an equally teasing tone as her own hands slipped beneath Frost’s suit.
"Well~ I wouldn’t want to make a mistake Khione." His hands subtly brushing against the underside of her heavy breasts, now was the time to be a little bold in his manoeuvres, a choice that was rewarded with an erotic moan from his enchanting partner.
"Haan...Give me what you’ve been dying to give me since the moment we got on board this damn ship." She wasn’t asking anymore, she was ordering, demanding that Frost take her first kiss, something the young Dungeon core was more than happy to take but that’d be too easy, she wasn’t being direct enough.
"I’ve been dying to do a lot of things to you Khione, which one are you referring to... specifically~" Frost craned his neck upwards, whispered in her ear and even nibbled on her lobe drawing out another erotic moan, a moan that was like a clarion call to his temperamental dragon. The mighty beast had awoken and was beginning to make its presence known.
"Ahnnn you jerk....ahnnn ki...ki..ss...."
"Sorry what was that I didn’t quite catch it." He continued to nibble on her ear while his right hand took a tight grasp of her muscular, addictive ass, a sensation he’d never get tired of even if he held it every day for the rest of his life.
Khione quivered and struggled under his attacks, revealing her inexperience when compared to her young lover yet despite that she was determined. With a strong conviction she kept hold of her sanity by internally cycling her aura for a couple rotations before firmly pushing Frost away from her ear. Her hands retreating from inside his suit to land back on his shoulders, this time with an iron grip.
"Kiss me dammit or I’ll kiss you!" This time she was very specific with her request and was no longer in the mood to be teased. The sensations she felt from his nibbling and his roaming hands were delightful but not what she wanted in this exact moment.
From the moment they came aboard and found themselves relaxing in their private gazebo they had been trying to find the best time to lock lips but unfortunately things kept getting in the way. This time however she was determined to get what she was owed. Frost was going to take her first kiss here and now or she would be the one to take it from him.
Her plump, luscious lips already looked slightly swollen as they parted and closed in an inviting manner, drawing the young man’s fiery gaze.
"A kiss....I thought you’d never ask my love." Knowing that the moment for teasing had passed Frost donned the air of a gentlemen, ensuring that this event would be a momentous occasion for the young Princess.
Lust was present in his expression, but it was not the defining factor, love and affection was. His gaze was warm and moving, focused entirely on Khione’s beautiful eyes as he reached up with his right hand to grasp the back of her neck and pull her towards him while his left hand swooped around to cradle her lower back, resisting the urge to drop a little lower.
"I love you Khione." Frost uttered before moving in for the kill, his lips pursed and eager to taste her sweetness.
