Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 286: The Game Is On!

"I said I love you."

"Ah, I love you more," replied Arielle wholeheartedly.

Ronan was silent for a moment, surprised to hear Arielle’s sincere answer. "More? Then, I love you the most!"

Arielle chuckled hearing Ronan arguing on such a thing.

"I said I love you more. It means more than the most!" Arielle replied who didn’t want to lose either.

"Huh? Do we need to debate this?" asked Ronan disapprovingly.

He rose from his chair to stand in front of Arielle while gently grabbing Arielle’s delicate face which was so small in his hands. Arielle didn’t feel intimidated by Ronan at all, instead, she just laughed, challenging Ronan to show how much love he had compared to her.

"No-no, I said I love you the most which means my love is the greatest!"

When Arielle wanted to reply, Ronan covered the girl’s lips with his. He kissed her for a long time to take in the soft, warm, and sweet taste of Arielle’s lips.

Ronan deepened their kiss. He put one hand behind Arielle’s waist to pull her closer to his body and also put his hand on Arielle’s neck to deepen their kiss.

Arielle squeezed Ronan’s shirt and opened her mouth, letting him suck on her lower lip gently. Her eyes had closed, feeling the kiss that he gave her. She got a goosebump when he grabbed her neck and ran his finger on her nape.

Ronan lifted his face away because he had been turned on by Arielle’s blushing face, with her lips wet with their saliva. Arielle’s eyes opened slowly with a glaze, looking at Ronan with the same desire as the man had.

Ronan couldn’t stop himself from taking another sip of Arielle’s soft lips.

"Arielle, I can never stop if we kissed passionately like this," he said, then kissed Arielle’s lips again. "Are you okay with a kiss like this?"

Arielle’s head was too foggy to answer his question.

"There will always be opportunities for me to do it again and again, Arielle. Or maybe unknowingly we will go further than this. Are you sure you can hold it in until we get married?"

Ronan deliberately pressed his body, so that Arielle could feel what she had done to his body with just a kiss. He shifted his kiss to her neck and gave a red mark there.

"Ronan."

"Tell me if you don’t want this, Arielle."

Arielle took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat. She grabbed Ronan’s face, so they could lock their longing gaze. "Just a kiss. Let’s not exceed that limit."

Ronan smirked, challenging Arielle.

Arielle smiled and kissed Ronan’s lips. He also replied with a small kiss. This would be more interesting. He wanted to see how long she could endure it. He would think of this as a game between them.

Arielle was an angel who kept her purity and Ronan would happily play the role of a devil who lured the angel into his trap.

"Let’s see then. I’ll be the devil who will continue to seduce you until you fall into my hands, Arielle."

"Is this a challenge?" Asked Arielle with sparkling eyes.

Ronan raised one of his eyebrows. "Yes, and the competition starts from now on."

Ronan grabbed Arielle’s neck, lifted her face, and kissed her greedily.

After they parted their lips, Arielle cupped Ronan’s lips with her palm and then walked away, stopping him from kissing her more.

Ronan bit his lower lip with an amused smile. His body was still waiting for Arielle, but that girl seemed not to care. He rubbed his face to get back his sense. Ronan went around his desk and sat down on a chair.

"What are you going to do after this?" asked Ronan as he reached for the report he had put down. He needed to divert his attention to get rid of the heat in his body.

"Hm... I’m currently interested in learning mana and its use. Before returning to the South, I read a few basic books and want to learn more about them," Arielle replied after sitting back down on the couch.

"Oh, why are you so interested in that?"

Arielle looked at her palms. She didn’t know whether she should tell Ronan about the incident or not. She thought it would be good to discuss this with Priest Elis first since the man knew more about it.

Ronan observed Arielle who had not answered his question.

"I don’t know, I’m quite interested in the concept of mana. In Nieverdell, I’ve never come across a single priest who can control natural energy like the priests here. And... I am wondering if there is another form of mana usage."

"Glad to hear that you are interested in that. Do you want to take a short walk? There’s something I want to show you."

"What is it?"

Ronan grabbed his mask and put it back on. Ronan was still not comfortable showing his bare face to people other than those closest to him. Although the Northendell palace was in his power, Ronan didn’t like it when a few maids or guards saw his old wounds. Especially the servants or guards who had been working in the palace since the incident of his last full moon with his family.

"Just come with me," said the man, extending his hand to Arielle.

Arielle accepted his hand and both of them left the study. Through the cold hallway, Ronan held Arielle’s body to walk closer to him so that he could share his warmth.

They stopped in front of the library door. The two guards bowed, saluting the arrival of the king and Princess Arielle. Inside the library, several young priests and researchers were busy with their own books.

Ronan’s presence made them stop their activities and bowed respectfully. That man just waved his hand to tell them to go back to studying their books.

As usual, Ronan took Arielle to the second floor which was quieter and told her to sit on a couch by the huge window.
