The waitress couldn't help but steal glances at Aether and Delphine as they sat together at the table, finishing their al.
There was a calmness about them now, but she could feel the charged atmosphere that lingered in the air, as if the very space between them still buzzed with the electricity of what had transpired earlier.
The subtle tension, the way Delphine's cheeks were still flushed, and the lingering, almost tender glances they exchanged all hinted at sothing more.
Yet, as a professional, she knew better than to pry. Silently, she placed the dessert plates in front of them with a polite bow. "Would you like to extend your stay for another three hours, sir?" she asked, her voice soft, carrying a hint of sothing knowing.
Delphine's face flushed an even deeper shade of red, her eyes wide with embarrassnt. Aether, however, simply shook his head with a small, enigmatic smile. "No need," he replied, his tone calm and composed, as though nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.
The waitress nodded and left them alone.
As she walked away, Delphine's embarrassnt grew. She kept her gaze fixed on her plate, unable to look at Aether, 'What the fuck happened to ?!' she scread inwardly. This wasn't her. She wasn't the kind of woman who would do those things, say those filthy words...
She wasn't a pervert!
She definitely wasn't!!!!
'It must have been a dream!' she thought desperately, trying to convince herself that she hadn't lost control, that she hadn't acted on raw, unfiltered desire.
Yet...
"Delphine," Aether's voice interrupted her thoughts, pulling her back to reality. His tone was soft, yet there was an unmistakable undercurrent of amusent. "There's sothing on your lips," he said, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
Delphine frowned for a second, then reached up to wipe her lips with her fingers. But when she looked at her fingertips, she froze. A small drop of white liquid clung to her skin, and in an instant, the mory of what she had done ca rushing back....
how she had elegantly caught Aether's release in her hand, how she had brought her fingers to her lips and licked them clean, her eyes locked onto his with a sensuality that had left him utterly entranced..... Like drinking the dripping Honey!
"I want to die!" Delphine cried out, her voice a mix of mortification and disbelief as she buried her face in her hands.
She couldn't believe she had done that in front of Aether. What must he think of her now? She wasn't that kind of woman. She wasn't soone who acted out of raw, carnal impulse. She had simply... lost herself, overwheld by the intensity of his kiss and the heat of the mont.
Aether's lips trembled with amusent as he reached out to her, his hand warm and gentle as it cupped her cheek. "It's fine, Delphine," he said softly, his voice filled with a tenderness that made her heartache.
"No! Now you think I'm so kind of slut or sothing..." she sobbed, her voice trembling with the weight of her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes, spilling down her cheeks as she struggled to co to terms with what she had done.
It felt as though she had lost all her dignity in that single, reckless mont.
Aether shook his head, his thumb gently brushing away her tears. "There's no way I would think that, and you know it," he reassured her, his tone firm yet kind.
Delphine nodded slightly, her face still gloomy, her heart heavy with regret.
But seeing that she wasn't completely comforted, Aether leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a teasing whisper as he said, "Though I must admit, I do love that perverted side of you~"
"NO! I am not a pervert!!" Delphine instantly protested, her voice rising as she tried to deny the truth that was gnawing at her. Her face flushed an even deeper shade of red as she vehently rejected the idea.
She would never acknowledge herself as a pervert.
Never!!
"You're the perverted one!" she shot back, her eyes narrowing in a glare.
Aether just stared at her, his silence speaking volus. He didn't need to say anything to bring those mortifying mories rushing back to the forefront of her mind.
The way he looked at her was enough to remind her of every embarrassing mont, every whispered word, and every unguarded action. She gritted her teeth in frustration, feeling utterly exposed.
"Forget everything that happened here!!" she demanded, her voice stern and commanding, as if she could erase the past with sheer force of will.
Aether shook his head, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "Nope, I'm not forgetting anything..."
Delphine could only grit her teeth in frustration, her cheeks burning with a mix of anger and sha, 'I really lost sothing now...' she thought bitterly, feeling as though she had given away a part of herself that she could never reclaim.
Aether sighed inwardly, 'I told you... she's really regretting everything,' he thought, finding her turmoil both endearing and amusing. But then, his expression grew more serious as he asked, "So, are you regretting doing it with ?"
Delphine's head shot up, her answer imdiate and firm. "No way!" she exclaid, her voice filled with conviction. There was no way she could regret that, no matter how embarrassing it had been.
"Then?"
"Well..." Delphine hesitated, her words faltering as she tried to find a way to explain the jumble of emotions swirling inside her. She wasn't sure how to put it into words, how to convey the confusion, the sha, and the lingering desire that still pulsed within her.
Aether smiled warmly, his eyes softening as he took her hand in his. He brought it to his lips, kissing her knuckles gently before speaking again. "I want to see every side of you, Delphine."
"Huh?" Delphine blinked, her confusion evident.
"Yes," Aether continued, his voice steady and sincere. "Each and every side. The cold lady, the cool lady, the hot lady, the perverted lady... I want to see everything, Delphine. There's no need to hide from . I want all of you." His gaze held hers, his expression filled with an intensity that made her breath catch in her throat.

Delphine blushed, her heart skipping a beat as she felt a warmth spread through her chest. "Y-You won't think of lowly, right?" she asked, her voice small and uncertain.
"Of course not!" Aether replied firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt. He added inwardly, 'If anything, I hope you won't think of lowly in the future.'
"No matter what side of you I see, I'll always love every part of you, Delphine," he continued his voice a low, intimate murmur as he leaned in close, his breath warm against her skin. "Every single part of you..." His lips brushed against her ear, sending a shiver down her spine as he gently bit her earlobe, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh.
"~Ahh~" Delphine moaned softly, her body reacting to his touch despite her best efforts to maintain so semblance of composure. She quickly covered her ears, trying to block out the sensations that were threatening to overwhelm her.
"Hahaha..." Aether laughed softly, his heart swelling with affection as he watched her struggle with her feelings.
Just then,
"A-Aether?" Delphine called out, her voice trembling with a mix of shock and disbelief.
"Hmm?"
Delphine pointed to the empty glass on the table, her hand shaking slightly, "T-That was my wine..." she whispered.
".... Oh! Fuck!" Aether mumbled.
