Progenitor of Dragons - Chapter 54

*Kaler’s POV*

I felt my sense go numb as my world around me shattered. I blinked my eyes in disbelief. Was this all a dream? My childhood friend, the most beautiful girl I know, is asking me to… Kiss her?!

“I-I… Uh…” My word felt like they were clogged at my throat, all wanting to come out, but there was no order, only chaos. Eventually, I just became a stammering mess.

“You were worried about the rumors, weren’t you?” she shot me an accusing glare, her eyes are dead serious. I could sense amore chilling aura emanating off her than normal.

“W-Well… I” I was stuttering once again. I felt like a cornered animal.

“Now’s your chance. Let’s stop the rumors, by making them real.” I stared into a her alluring blue. They were like a kaleidoscope, beautiful and hypnotic. I could myself sinking and melting with her gaze. I could have sworn they were even sparkling.

“Unless… Of course…” suddenly her piercing gaze morphed into one of melancholy. “You… Don’t want to…” she looked away, pouting slightly. Her brows furrowed slightly. She looked so dejected. Just looking at it, I could feel my heart tearing into two. It was adorable, but depressing.

“NO!” My heart leaped out of my chest, saying what I thought without a second’s hesitation. The violent scream clearly shocked Aurora. Her eyes were glimmering once more, staring at me like a savior.

I realised what I had just done. I had no more reason to hold back. “I… I would… Love that. I love you. I have for a long time. I mean like…” I cursed inwardly for being so clumsy. She probably thinks I’m insane now, just openly confessing my feelings for her. Now I feeling like beating myself up.

“I know.” I heard her say. Those two words dispersed the doubts in my mind. With a combination of confusion, awe, and anticipation, I slowly turned my head to look at her.

“You… You did?” I asked shakily.

“I guessed. It was only made obvious last night. I loved you too… Always have.” what she said had stunned me speechless. I stared into empty space, at a complete lost for words, feeling my own soul leave my body and telling me to handle this myself.

The room was silent for what felt like an eternity. I was a nervous wreck that couldn’t form a simple sentence. Aurora, on the other hand, was sheepishly looking away, her cheeks flushed in a light pink colour. “C-could you say something. Anything? Please?” she said shakily.

I don’t know how long I was just staring in a daze, it took every ounce of effort to break free of that spell. I violently shook my head and looked at Aurora. I admired her beauty in the silence. Her bright blue hair, unnatural as it was, was beautiful, in contrast with her flushed cheeks shining a bright red.

She was looking away from me, but her body still faced me. I could feel my throat grow dry and hoarse. She was wearing a silk nightgown, accentuating her mature and grown up figure. She didn’t even look real, like a princess from a fairy tale.

I smiled, remembering that she wasn’t just some princess, she was my childhood friend, the friend who looked out for me and played with me like a sister. “Alright.” I said simply. Aurora then turned her head and looked at me. Her mouth in and ‘O’ shape, her bright blue eyes shimmering like gems in cave.

She looked so adorable, cute and beautiful, it was simply unfair. “I’ll give you what you want.”

Her eyes went wide with surprise as I slowly inched closer to her. My heart was beating at a speed that could not be achieved through exercise. I could feel it’s every pulse inside my body. It was like me, screaming in joy, unable to contain itself, at the same time, scared.

I was worried that I would mess up in anyway, that she would get mad, or that this was all a dream of some elaborate prank. However, my worries quickly melted away when I saw Aurora’s expression into a soft one, one that looked me with desire. I could even notice the dilation in her pupils.

I closed my eyes as she did hers. The next thing I knew, I felt her lips on mine. Soft as a marshmallow, carrying the intense feelings she harbours for me. I hoped that mine were conveyed just as well. Our mouths parted as our tongues intertwined. I reminded me of the night on my 18th birthday, I feel the same as I did back then, only 10 times more intense.

I was brimming with insurmountable affection for this girl. She was mine, now that I knew that, I was not gonna let anyone get in my way. With her behind me, I knew I could do anything, I will, for her. I was indescribably elated. There was also another feeling I felt. One that felt both familiar yet foreign at the same time. However, I was too overwhelmed by everything else, by happiness, by pride, by love.

After several minutes, we finally parted our mouths, a bridge of saliva connecting them still. My head was spinning in a daze, I hadn’t realised that I unconsciously climbed up onto the bed, and over her. She was almost lying down now. We both gazed at each other in silence, still panting from our intimate connection just seconds ago.

Every man knows what comes next, something that was nearly undeniable. I wanted it too, but I knew that it was not the right time. I finally came down from cloud nine and sat down on the bed as if I were kneeling on the floor. Aurora also properly sat up. We smiled at each other, one that conveyed our affection for one another.

She scooted to the side and patted the space beside her. I chuckled a little. The little princess still wants to be spoiled. I slowly crawled next to her on the bed and tucked my legs under the blanket, letting back rest against the headboard.

Noticing that I was comfortable, Aurora silently laid her head on my shoulder, her body leaning on mine. I could feel her warmth radiating through me. She closed her eyes as I felt her whole body relax, I relaxed mine as well, leaning my head on hers.

None of us made a sound, or said a word. It was silent in this grand bedroom.. Just me, the girl I love, and the silent connection between us.
