Since she didn't want Emilia to say it, Crystal decided it was best to simply shut the girl up before she could do so. As for how to do it, well, even if her wrists were being held like that… her lips could still be used to attack.
So before Emilia could say another word, the heroine had already leaned up and sealed her mouth with a firm kiss. Of course, the redhead didn't resist it at all, and happily started sucking on the freely offered treat of sweet lips.
"Mmph!"
As she swallowed her moan, Crystal was overjoyed to discover that she had so easily managed to distract the girl. The blonde was even able to free her hands with a little more effort and wrap them around Emilia's waist before completely turning the situation over.
Now on top, the heroine could really rest assured and kiss the girl to her heart's content. The moisture from the shower made it so that their hair was still damp, and Crystal could feel some stray droplets of water dripping from her body to the girl below her from time to time.
Thankfully, the girl beneath her didn't seem to care much for it, and Crystal couldn't bring herself to mind the slight dampness of the gorgeous body she was pressing down beneath her, either.
Crystal didn't know if it was her illusion, but Emilia's lips seemed to get even more tender and delectable the longer she kissed them, and her nimble little tongue grew more and more disobedient as it refused to let her bully her as before.
The daring little thing even tried to invade her in return, but a gentle bite easily scared it away back to its home.
Crystal couldn't help but smirk as she thoroughly smooched the beauty's lips, freely enjoying the suckling of her nimble tongue after invading the girl's mouth.
The bullied little tongue still didn't seem to have learned its lesson as it hugged and greeted her warmly, as if she had already forgotten about the previous grievances as the two of them played around.
Emilia's hands roamed all the way from the top of her neck to the bottom of her waist, her touch both gentle and teasing as the blonde shuddered above her and groaned into her mouth.
Halfway through the kiss, Emilia had already started pushing back against herself as she gasped and mumbled, and the two of them had unknowingly shifted over to their sides. By now, the searing heat from the heroine's body had already evaporated most of the water.
Slowly, Crystal forgot all about the matter as she found herself indulging in her lover's embrace, pinching her nipples and squeezing her breasts as the girl gasped and moaned into her mouth.
Crystal could only dazedly follow Emilia's rhythm as the girl shuddered in pleasure, the mesmerizing look in her eyes making it harder and harder for the blonde to think straight.
The blonde had no idea when their positions had switched, and the redhead was now back to straddling her waist as she suckled and bit Crystal's lips, their fingers intertwined intimately.
When Emilia separated from her with a gasp, Crystal could only stare at her in wonder.
The girl looked… different.
It was impossible for the person she had been kissing to have changed. After all, she was still firmly in Crystal's embrace from the beginning to the end, and the blonde didn't believe that she had lost her mind to the extent that she wouldn't even be able to recognize her own lover.
However, Emilia's eyes were now a far more mesmerizing shade of blue than she had ever known existed, her height wasn't right, and even the color and length of her hair weren't quite what they used to be.
Looking closer, her skin was now far more exquisite than before, like exquisite silk that one could only dream of running their fingers across in their dreams, and even her temperament seemed to have completely changed to something far more ethereal and fleeting than she was used to.
Crystal had expected Emilia's secret to be big and shocking, but she always thought it would be a 'revelation' more than anything.
To put it simply, what she had been expecting was an explanation that would make everything make sense, not a transformation that would only boggle her mind further!
Crystal couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming.
The smile on Emilia's face slowly faded as she found Crystal just staring at her blankly, with neither a positive nor negative reaction.
The gentle, breathtaking goddess straddling her waist slowly turned into a cold and oppressive beauty as she stared down at the blonde girl's blank face. The fingers that were intimately intertwined with her own clenched, quivering only for a moment before they froze and slipped out of her grasp.
"Do you hate me now?"
There was something terrifyingly attractive about the way Emilia looked at her at that moment, but Crystal's heart was severely prickled as she broke out of her daze and hurriedly shook her head. "D-Don't dare! I would never hate you!"
Regardless of whether Emilia was in her right mind or not, since the cat was already out of her bag, Crystal knew that she couldn't bear to carry this misunderstanding!
Instantly, it was as if the glaciers in those gorgeous eyes were molten by the sun, and the warm embrace of a goddess enveloped Crystal. "Thank you."
The warm sigh of relief that brushed the side of her face as the girl trembled made the heroine's heart clench painfully as she wrapped her arms around Emilia's slim waist. "Why would I ever hate you? I will love you forever, so don't even think like that!"
Crystal could feel that her emotions weren't right. But even if she didn't dare to ask what would have happened had she not denied her in time, she still wanted to make sure Emilia knew she would always love her.
She even wanted to add that even if Emilia kicked her away, she would come crawling back, but the heroine felt that would be a bit too shameful.
The gorgeous girl in her arms trembled for a moment before Crystal jerked from her soft earlobe being bitten gently. She could tell that Emilia was already smiling, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
