How About a Refill? ~The Elegant Tea Party of the Grand Witches~ - Chapter 72

Emilio’s Forgotten Restraint

“Miriam, won’t you look at me?”

“Will you let me down if I do?”

“That’s something I can’t do. —kiss”

“…mm…ah”

As soon as they had gotten in the carriage, Emilio had pulled Miriam onto his lap. She was currently looking away in embarrassment. Emilio kissed her ears before moving to her neck. Miriam turned away at the ticklish sensation, feeling embarrassed. As she did so, Emilio’s arm, which had been laying on her waist, tightened and pulled her into an embrace.

This exchange had been going on and on, repeatedly, for a while now. The inside of the carriage was drenched in a sickly sweet atmosphere, as if someone had mixed in sugar, honey, and all kinds of sweets in the air.

“R-restraint. What happened to your restraint, prince Emilio?… mmm!”

Miriam finally turned her head towards him and Emilio, without a moment’s hesitation, captured her lips with his own. Miriam gasped as he kissed her again and again, tilting his face to the side.

Emilio chuckled at her reaction. He finished the kiss with a small nibble on her lower lip, and then let go with a groan. 

“My restraint… I might have left it back at the palace?”

They gazed at each other with their foreheads pressed together.

“You can’t go back to the Capital to get it, huh?”

“That’s right. What should I do now…”

“Try to control yourself please.”

Emilio poked her face as Miriam puffed up her cheeks again. They both burst out laughing before leaning in for another kiss.

“This is bad. I won’t be able to hold back if we keep going.”

Emilio sighed deeply. He picked up Miriam and reluctantly set her down by his side before snaking an arm around her and pulling her closer. 

“That… will be a problem. Please bear with it, okay?”

“Why do you say such heartless things. You’re a bad girl, aren’t you?”

He leaned in to kiss her once again. He used his arm to push Miriam back onto the seat of the carriage, and then brought both of his hands to hold her face.

Miriam looked up into his eyes in surprise. His blue eyes were looking down at her with a heated gaze.

“Sorry. I can’t bear it so just a little bit…”

Emilio whispered into her ear and then placed a kiss on her forehead. He kissed down to her ear, and then her nose, then her lips, before sliding down to kiss her throat. His hand moved up to unbutton the clasps on her collar and then his lips moved down to kiss the tops of her breasts. However, just then the carriage came to an abrupt stop. 

“Looks like we;ve arrived. How unfortunate.”

Emilio smiled impishly at her before sitting her up and redoing her buttons. He also gently smoothed her ruffled hair.

Miriam sat there, her mouth gaping open, and her face blushing bright red.

“Hmm? What is it? Miriam?”

Miriam came back to her senses at Emilio’s question. She pinched the back of his hand as she screamed, “Restraint!!”

Outside the carriage, the groom shuffled restlessly in front of the door wondering if he should open the door or not.
