“Now, what again?”

Ricdorian slightly grabbed the end of my clothes, making sure that there was no skin contact.  I’m not caught, but it was enough to stop me from walking away. I realized, he’s really fond of grabbing the hem of my clothes. He had developed a new hobby, huh!

“Why?”

As I tilted my head, he bowed down, letting me see his red nape and back behind his collar. Wow! his entire body has turned ruby.

And despite that bonny sight, I endured the urge to poke him.

“Don’t worry, without your consent, I will not touch you…” I said immediately as he looked alert with my adoring stare at his whole being.

Eventually, his hands moved, grasping my fingertips as if giving me the consent to touch him.

“Ju…just a little”

“Only a little bit?”

“Hmm.”

I remembered that moment when he turned into a beast and hugged me from behind. His body temperature was as hot as the solar radiation that heats the earth. If he embraced me longer, I might have been a melted glacier by now.

I wonder if it’s a trait he adapted from not being a human.

I blushed then swallowed hard at the sudden venture of Ricdorian in my fingers. His daring and bold deeds electrified me wholly.

“… This is a… this is okay.”

His head slowly crept up, and his blue eyes, which could easily catch everyone’s attention, turned to me.

How many more years do I need to stay here? I was seriously troubled.

Mister…this is a fervent temptation. A temptation I couldn’t resist any longer if you keep on teasing me like that.

However, he was even aware that it might be wrong to touch me hastily.

He is the male lead while I am not. I am just a side character of this story so it is best to live a long and worry-free life while I’m still inside this rated-19 novel. I don’t have any idea when I’m going back home. To my real world.

I’m not complaining, it’s just that the more time I spend here, the more I am becoming attached to Ricdorian.

I wiggled my finger and dropped his hand carefully, ensuring not to hurt his feelings as I don’t want him to think he’s been brushed aside. Then, I carefully patted his cheeks.

This, for sure, is acceptable, right?

“Okay. I’ll go now.”

I slipped away from him, whose cheeks were like a blooming red flower, and shook his hands awkwardly. Afterwards, I turned my back on him.

“See you on the next walk.”

The next afternoon, the senior guard came to me. I was told that no restraints were used on Ricdorian this time.

“It’s very strange… I’ve never done this before.”

Apparently, restraints that work well on other magical prisoners don’t work on him. I thought maybe it was related to the beast curse he had, but I still don’t really get it. In the end, the curse he had would remain a mystique to me.

There was no way I could know anything because first of all, I was unknowledgeable here. Though I have read the novel still, I am clueless about the actual extent of his curse.
