F/VoH Ch 118: + Just Take It Slow

Ryan fell silent, gazing back at Ellina with a mix of admiration and emotion that made his chest feel tight. “Ellina…”

Ellina lowered her head slightly, then asked, her voice trembling softly. “Can you still… hold back your emotions a little longer?”

Without a word, Ryan got up to close the window, activating the Reality Marble in the room, creating a barrier between them and the outside world. “I want you to feel safe and comfortable… with me,” Ryan said in a low but firm voice, like a promise that came from his heart.

Slowly, Ryan opened his cloak, revealing his body without hesitation, as if opening up not just physically, but also emotionally. Charlotte gasped in surprise, her cheeks flushing. Charlotte's gaze was fixed on Ryan, feeling the tension hanging in the air. On the other hand, Ellina remained silent, but her eyes never left Ryan, showing a graceful yet hopeful expression.

Ryan approached, gently caressing Ellina's cheek with his fingertips. “Just take it slow… I want you to feel comfortable.”

Ellina nodded, her voice barely audible. “This is my first time…” Ellina whispered, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

Ryan responded with a soft smile, then leaned his face closer to Ellina. “I will make sure you feel calm… and enjoy it down there,” Ryan whispered, with warmth that made Ellina's face flush even more. Meanwhile, Charlotte, nervously but determined not to be left out, moved closer to Ryan's other side, allowing herself to be swept away in the sincerity they shared that night.

Ryan leaned toward Ellina with a serious gaze, his eyes piercing as if searching for answers in the silence between them. In a moment filled with doubt and hope, their lips finally met.

The gentle touch surprised Ellina; her eyes widened before slowly closing, allowing the feelings that had been buried to surge to the surface. Instantly, a blush began to adorn Ellina's cheeks, marking the warmth that filled her chest and spread throughout her body.

On the other side, Charlotte felt Ryan's hand slowly tracing her body, his fingers pausing briefly at her chest before gently caressing around it.

The touch made Charlotte's breath catch, and unconsciously, she bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her racing heartbeat. Under Ryan's gentle yet controlled touch, Charlotte's face also flushed, a mix of embarrassment and comfort washing over her as she felt his presence nearby.

Ryan looked deeply into Ellina's eyes, his gaze revealing feelings that had long been hidden in silence. His fingers gently touched Ellina's shoulder, and slowly, Ryan helped to remove the layers of Ellina's clothing. Ellina looked down, her cheeks growing even redder as warmth and tension mingled in her heart.

Unconsciously, Ellina glanced at Ryan's lower body, and for a moment, she fell silent, feelings of confusion and embarrassment enveloping her as she slowly tried to touch him.

Ryan felt Ellina's gentle touch, a hesitant yet curious caress. A faint smile appeared on Ryan's face, and that loving gaze gave Ellina the courage to open up.

After helping Ellina, Ryan turned his gaze to Charlotte, who could only blush in silence. With a gentle yet firm demeanor, Ryan did the same, making Charlotte feel comfortable and safe by his side.

Meanwhile, Ellina, still enveloped in embarrassment, began to feel the courage to get closer. Slowly, she caressed Ryan's lower body with hesitant yet warm fingers, a touch that brought them closer without the need for many words.
