“It looks like you were trying to please me. But you were a mean puppy, weren’t you?”

“What the heck, where in the world is there a sinister dog?”

“Here you go.”

Only then did the hand that was gently pinching my cheek become gentle. A pretty face with a light smile came into view

I cupped his cheeks with both hands and explained to him as if I was squeezing them in my hands. The soft, chewy texture of the rice cake^[1]Babpul clinging to my skin felt good.

“It’s not that I’m being mean… I just have to do it because of morning sickness. I really don’t want to do it either. Really?”

“Oh, really?”

“I guess I’ve been living a lie.”

“I feel like I’ve been lied to by the dog.”

“Don’t make me laugh, please.”

I looked at the corners of his lips that were slightly raised, and I smiled along without thinking, and then our eyes met. His eyes, brightly lit by the sunlight streaming in through the window, were shining darkly.

The moment I met his clear and sharp eyes, something inside my chest pounded loudly. It was a strange feeling.

The atmosphere where we had been exchanging silly jokes until just a moment ago suddenly cracked. Chase’s gaze, which had been on my eyelids, slide downwards.

“So, what you’re saying is…”

His voice was a little lower and more relaxed than usual. He slowly bent down toward me, and the breath that escaped from his full lips touched my forehead.

And then I felt a soft touch, first on his round forehead, then on his high nose, and then on his lips. It was a soft, moist kiss, like tickling with a bird’s feathers.

“Do you want to do this?”

A voice mixed with laughter swayed like a gentle spring breeze. I couldn’t stand the half-shameless, half-gentle voice that made me think it was a fox rather than a black panther, so I closed my eyes tightly. However, my fingers were still tightly gripping the hem of Chase’s sweater

But…

“This is a kiss.”

It seemed like this wasn’t the kind of contact the doctor had intended. He even mentioned a relationship, but even if it wasn’t to that extent, wouldn’t a childish bird kiss have no effect? …It’s definitely not something I want to do………

“Other than this…”

“Then, what?”

Chase’s voice became a little deeper. I could sense a hint of excitement beyond the laughter, but it may have been an illusion.

“Hmm…”

“Huh? Puppy, tell me.”

“What are you talking about…”

“If you tell me, I might do it for you. What else do you want to do?”

…But, this…?

Even with my half-dazed head, I began to feel a teasing tone, and I began to feel a little bit better. Do you think I can’t do it? Or do you just want to tease me?

Or are you doing this because you want to?

I had no intention of being swayed by either side.

I opened my drooping eyelids and stretched my arms out towards Chase. A puzzled expression appeared on the face before

me that had been smiling playfully.

I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him with all my might. His bewildered face quickly turned into a look of surprise. Chase was dragged towards me with his eyes wide open.

“What can you do for me? I can do it.”

“Are you hungry?”

“Just close your eyes.”

“Puppy, why are you so energetic all of a sudden?”

Chase’s muttering voice brushed past my ears and dispersed. I stood on tiptoe and swallowed his lips.

The first time we touched lips since the first day I possessed this body and the surprise I had when I opened my eyes, they were as sweet as sour strawberry candy.

I lunged at him with all my might as if I was going to bite his lips, but when we actually touched, my whole body trembled as if I had been shocked.

“Ugh… Huh…”

A moan flowed out from between my lips. Still, I tried to pull myself together and hurriedly dug into Chase’s mouth. As I wrapped my thick tongue around it and sucked, an embarrassingly wet sound came out. Saliva flowed down, clung to my chin, and then fell off…

“Wait a minute, you…”

“Just open your mouth and stay still. Uh, uh…”

Chase, who was moving slightly as if he was going to rebel, suddenly stopped moving at my words. Suddenly, I looked at his eyes, which were shining strangely.

“You started it.”

“huh…?”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

The moment I tilted my head,. Chase’s arm came over and hugged my waist tightly.

My body was lifted up like that, so I was surprised and hugged the back of his neck.

“What, why are you doing that!”

“Just open your mouth and stay still.”

“Ha, uh…”

The voice that was saying exactly what I had said had regained its composure. However, its breath was still hot, and its breathing was becoming increasingly ragged.

“Ugh, huff…”

Our lips met again. This time, it was different from before in that I wasn’t eating him, but Chase was eating me up. His moist lips bit and sucked my lips for a long time, making it hard for me to breathe. I could only moan and cling to him without thinking anything…

Only our lips touched, but my whole body felt ticklish and hot. A chilling sensation spread down my spine. The house was filled with the rich scent of cherry blossoms. The tip of Chase’s tongue, which was ruthlessly thrusting into my mouth, was extremely hot and sweet.

I wanted to get a little bit closer, a little bit closer.

So I tightened my arms around Chase’s nape. I tilted my head and opened my mouth wider, pleased with the sight of him being dragged along so obediently. Chase, as if he had been waiting, sucked my lips again, and then his tongue. Every place his moist skin passed by felt like it was on fire.

“Ah, hmm…”

The sweet and splendid pheromone of the black panther overwhelmed me with overwhelming force. My completely heated

body couldn’t resist the stimulation of the scent and showed my ears and tail. A soft laugh rang in my ear. I felt the round and

fluffy tail being tightly held in Chase’s large hand.

“Why are you wagging your tail like that?”

“Ugh, don’t do that…”

At that moment, all the strength left my body that had been trembling with tension. I was about to collapse when a strong arm quickly came over and held me. I leaned my cheek against his thick chest and slumped down. A weak voice came out on its own.

“What is this…”

“Something other than a kiss.”

“Who did it like this?”

“What does ‘like this’ mean?”

What the heck. It’s so weird that I’m about to cry because I’m so out of my mind… It’s your first time. You said there was no one else but me? Does that make sense?

“It’s amazing…”

As I muttered listlessly in a state of confusion, Chase smiled and responded.

“Yeah, that’s interesting.”

“…Huh? What are you going to do?”

“I’ve completely stopped feeling uneasy. I’m not completely relieved, but I feel like I can live now.”

Suddenly, I blinked my eyes slowly, wondering what was going on. My head felt hazy, as if it was covered in fog.

“what…?”

Every breath I took was filled with pheromones that resembled the scent of gorgeous flowers. I couldn’t wake up from my intoxication with that scent, so I asked blankly with a still dazed expression. Then Chase lifted me up and strode briskly toward the sofa.

Only after he landed on the soft cushion did his focus gradually return. Chase muttered softly, his face slightly flushed, as if avoiding eye contact and glancing out the window.

“My morning sickness has gotten better. A lot.”

“Oh, that’s so interesting…”

“Was it good?”

“huh?”

That’s me…

It was the first kiss I had ever had in my right mind, and it was so sweet that I thought. “Is this what it felt like?” and the words just came out without me realizing it because it was so new. I couldn’t bring myself to say that.

All he could do was rub his lips with the back of his hand, glare at Chase, and pretend like nothing happened.

“So be nice to me. If you treat me badly, I won’t kiss you even if you’re dying.”

“I’m crying because I’m so grateful, really.”

“Look at you being sarcastic again.”

“No, I’m really about to cry. It’s like I’ve been freed from extreme seasickness in an instant. People who haven’t experienced morning sickness don’t know. If even just kissing can make this good, then what if it’s a relationship…”

“Relationship?”

“…”

“…”

Chase, who had been spouting out thoughtless words with a face that seemed to have no thoughts, suddenly stopped breathing. I know you were flustered, but what if you didn’t breathe?
