Rosalina gripped his long blonde hair tight and pulled him in. Her lips moved over his with a hungry warmth that made Julius’s whole mind go blank.

Pure bliss hit him like a wave. Everything around him faded. His right hand floated up on its own, twitching softly in the air like it had no idea what to do.

She noticed right away. Her other hand reached out, grabbed his, and gently placed it on the soft curve of her waist.

Her fingers pressed his palm flat against her, holding it there as if to say, "This belongs here."

The kiss went on, deep and slow. To Julius it felt like barely a second had passed, even though time had clearly slipped away.

When she finally pulled back, he was left dizzy and breathless.

Her face stayed so close that her warm breath tickled his skin. He could see every little detail.

Her slender neck curved gracefully, the faint veins showing under her smooth skin, the soft bones at the base leading down to her chest.

The slightly stretched fabric of her dress around her breasts made his breath catch hard in his throat.

She wasn’t just beautiful, she was completely impossible to resist.

And the craziest part? She had just woken up, yet she looked fresh, glowing, and downright mesmerizing, like sleep had only made her prettier.

Her breath felt warm and sweet against his lips.

It was honestly refreshing, like a soft morning breeze that made him want to lean in again and never stop. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Rosalina kept her eyes slightly lowered. Those long eyelashes cast gentle shadows on her cheeks.

The small show of softness on her normally proud face made her look even more stunning.

It was hard to put into words how perfect she seemed right then.

"Idiot," she said, her voice still husky from sleep.

Her cheeks slowly turned a soft pink. She reached up and grabbed his chin firmly, tilting his face so he had to look straight at her.

"Did you think I could survive if you sacrificed yourself?" she asked.

Her eyes locked onto his. In that one look, he saw everything, anger, love, regret, pain, and a deep, burning desire all mixed together.

It was like watching a whole theater play out different emotions on her face at once.

"I can’t live in a world without you, you stupid shit!"

Julius felt his heart flip and his face heat up.

Even with her scolding him, all he could think was how cute she looked when she was mad and loving him at the same time.

He tried not to grin like an idiot, but it was a losing battle.

Her scolding still hung in the air when Julius let out a nervous little "Hehe..."

He tried to laugh it off and say something smooth, but the words barely left his mouth.

"Guh!"

Her fist landed straight on his chest with a solid thump. All the air rushed out of his lungs in one go.

His eyes rolled back for a second, and he gasped like a fish out of water.

Before he could even catch his breath, she grabbed a fistful of his long blonde hair again and yanked him close.

"I will make you mine today!" she declared, her voice low and full of fire.

Right after her words, her lips crashed back onto his. The kiss was deep, demanding, and full of heat.

Julius’s mind went completely blank again. Pure pleasure flooded every corner of his head.

Then he felt her hand slide slowly down his back. Her fingers traced over his skin, moving across every part of him in a way that made his whole body shiver.

She pulled her lips away just enough to speak, a playful smirk on her face.

"Didn’t you say you would hunt the deer?" she taunted, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Where did all that earlier pride go?"

She leaned back a little and looked at him.

Julius sat there completely dazed, his face bright red, his ears burning like they were on fire.

He looked totally lost, like someone had stolen all his clever thoughts.

Rosalina’s smirk grew wider. She wasn’t ready to take full control, she had already done more than she planned.

But she had listened to the maids back at her mansion for years.

They would gossip openly about their nights with their lovers, and she had hidden and memorized every little detail.

She knew exactly what to do with Julius... but only if he stepped up first.

"Are you really a man?" she asked, her voice teasing. "Man? Man? Man?"

She repeated the word on purpose, each time making it sound more challenging. Her eyes locked on him, daring him.

That was the final push. Something inside Julius woke up with a roar.

The shy, hesitant part of him vanished. His eyes cleared, and a hungry, determined look took over his face. The lion was finally ready to hunt.

Rosalina thought, ’Bingo!’ A small, shy smile crossed her face. She looked like a quiet little cat who had just won a sneaky game.

Seeing her like that flipped a switch in Julius. All his manly hormones surged at full blast.

The old, wild part of him woke up fast. He grabbed her waist with strong hands and pulled her tight against him.

In one smooth move, he pinned her down on the big soft bed. His knees pressed on either side of her, holding her right where he wanted.

She turned her eyes sideways, trying to remember every trick she had secretly learned from the maids back home.

That shy look only made her more beautiful.

Her mature body lay under him now. Her long, thick black hair spread out like a shiny blanket all the way to her feet.

Her cheeks glowed soft pink. She really looked like helpless prey waiting for the lion.

Julius’s mind had gone completely wild. Desire took over everything.

He pinned both her hands above her head with one of his. Her head tilted to the side, offering her smooth neck like a clear invitation.

He couldn’t hold back anymore. He leaned down and rubbed his chin gently along her neck, then started kissing the soft sides. Warm, hungry kisses.

"Ahh—" Rosalina’s whole body twitched hard with pleasure. She tried to stay quiet, but a sweet moan slipped out anyway.

’She’s feeling it,’ Julius thought. The idea made him even hungrier. His left hand slowly slid down toward her lower body.

Rosalina’s face turned even redder. She understood exactly where his hand was going. Instead of stopping him, she let herself enjoy the moment.

Her back arched up, and her chest lifted toward him.

Julius kept kissing her neck, moving lower, ready for more.

Right at that perfect second....

"Papa?"
