First Kiss
With his eyes closed, Daemon turned around slowly and leaned his chest against the edge of the hot spring, revealing his broad shoulders and back along with his waist and half of his rear.
Derila stilled at the sight.
The man's tanned body was the epitome of masculinity and seduction, especially in this misty atmosphere with dim lighting.
Derila couldn't help but blush as her heart pounded wildly against her chest.
She quickly composed herself and focused on the acupuncture treatment.
However, she couldn't proceed with Daemon's lower half completely submerged. "Could you climb up a little? I can't reach your waist."
Daemon didn't respond at all. It turned out he had dozed off.
Hence, Derila could only lower her own body. With one hand on the ground, she reached forward to position a needle on Daemon's waist.
Suddenly, her hand slipped, and she fell right into the hot spring.
Splash! The loud noise instantly jolted Daemon awake.
He opened his eyes and frowned in displeasure before turning his head.
There, he saw the reckless woman splashing about in the water, her hands flailing as though she was desperately searching for a lifeline.
"H-Help!" she blurted amidst muffled screams.
Daemon turned around and leaned back into the edge while gazing at her, his eyes full of contempt.
The water isn't even that deep, but she's here panicking like this instead of trying to stand on her feet? Even if she can't swim, how much of an idiot can she be?
The hot spring was less than 1.4 meters tall, so Derila would have been able to stand up just fine even if she were a little shorter.
Gurgle…
The woman slowly sunk to the bottom of the hot spring, a raft of bubbles rising above her.
A taunting smirk played on Daemon's lips as he watched the struggling woman with an icy gaze.
If this idiot actually drowns in here, that'd be a first in history.
Growing weary with each struggle, Derila reached out to him.
A few seconds later, Daemon couldn't stand the sight any longer and finally decided to give her a hand.
But just as he approached the woman, she suddenly grabbed onto him and pulled herself over to him.
Before he could even respond, he felt a pair of soft lips pressing against his cold ones.
Daemon froze instantly and just stood there.
Her lips felt so delicate—like a flower that had just Dunraed.
Furthermore, the woman's soft body pressing against his chest gave him a feeling he had never felt before. She also had her slender arms wrapped around his neck tightly, indicating how terrified she was of falling back into the water.
Everything happened so quickly that Daemon didn't know what to do.
The unfamiliar feeling caused him to stiffen. It was like an electric current had suddenly entered his body and was now coursing through his bloodstream.
His once tranquil heart was now beating frantically as though it had just been given life.
"Phew!"
After a long while, Derila finally calmed herself and opened her eyes, only to see an incredibly dashing face right in front of her.
Those amber eyes looked especially enchanting under the moonlight.
They appeared to be filled with shock, though.
She stared at Daemon in horror, her mind turning blank.
"Oh, my God!" Harrison suddenly exclaimed. "W-What on earth…"
Daemon finally returned to his senses and violently shoved Derila away, sending her to the other side of the hot spring and back into the water.
"Help me! Help…"
Once again, the woman cried for help.
Unfortunately, Daemon's momentary lapse of kindness was gone. He merely shot her a glare before getting out of the hot spring. Then, he wrapped himself with a towel and stormed away.
