Sweet chapter with no horror.

Azusa sat up, his fingers emulated a crane's beak and pecked the small of Rin's back. She reacted in shock, uttering, "Wh-What?" He ignored her and exposed the entire back of her neck by parting her hair. Not knowing what he was going to do, she felt excited anticipation along with fear of the unknown. As he leaned down, she could feel his warm breath on her newly-exposed skin. "Azusa-sama?" "Why not just enjoy yourself?" "But there's no way for me to do that without knowing what you will do next?" "Would you have fun in life if you already know everything that's going to happen in the future?" "I guess not…"

Suddenly, Rin felt something warm and wet lapped the skin that covered the base of her skull. She stiffened. He chuckled and said, "How about you do what I say and just relax?" She dared not to open her mouth for an objection, but thought to herself, "Easy for you to say…" He gave her another lick on the area lower than the previous one, except this time, he licked hard and slow, savouring the taste of her flesh. She asked nerviously, "What are you doing?" "Why do you have to be such a bundle of nerves?" "I-I can't help it!"

Azusa proceeded to repeat the hard strokes slowly with his tongue and dampened the entire back of Rin's body, and his ministrations gradually relieved the tension in her body. After he finished licking, he sat up, closed his mouth and breathed in deeply through his nose. While breathing in, he pulled in his abdomen and glanced sideways. When his warmth departed from her back, she shivered because of the cold and excitement, rather than fear. Once she realised how she missed the feeling of his warmth, she blushed. Azusa laid a hand on her back and felt her shivering, he enquired coldly, trying not to sound too soft, "Still scared, huh?" "It-It's not that…" "Then, what is it?" "It's quite cold." "Don't you want a hug?" She was speechless out of embarrassment, because she did sound like she wanted him to close the distance.

When Azusa saw that Rin was blushing, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the pink cheek. Feeling his warmth once again, she immediately relaxed. The corners of his lips curled upwards, an obvious sign that he was up to no good. He asked a question that was certainly going to embarrass her further, "Aren't you trying to seduce me now?" "B-But I don't know how… On the other hand…" "On the other hand…?" "Azusa-sama is the one seducing me…" "Oh, am I now?"

Rin felt even more embarrassed after blurting it out and hearing Azusa cackle about it. After cackling, he stared at her intensely. "Wh-What?" She grew nervous again. "You're supposed to relax," he commented coolly. "How can I relax when you are staring at me like this?" "Aren't you going to try relaxing for my sake?" "For your sake?" "I want you to relax." "Okay…"

Azusa rained a storm of gentle kisses down onto the entire back of Rin's body, covering every inch of visible skin, but he omitted a certain area for later. She felt her will melting and body loosening as he was doing so. After he had finished kissing, he whispered into her ear, asking, "Feeling better now?" She gulped. "Answer me," he pressed on with authority. "Why is Azusa-sama so mad?" "I am not mad, just fixing your manners. You should know I am your master." His voice sounded threateningly low. She reflexively and profusely apologised, "I am sorry… Sorry… I am truly sorry, sir." "So you think saying sorry more than once will make it more acceptable to me?" "Does it not?" He chuckled at how cute she sounded when she asked the question. "Just answer my question." "Um… Actually… I-I forgot your question." His face darkened a little in irritation. Then he said, "I would normally be too annoyed to repeat the question, but I am too curious that I just have to ask again. Are you feeling better now?" "I was feeling better, until Azusa-sama scared me just now."

Azusa stroked Rin's back gently, up and down, to ease her nerves. "Perhaps he's feeling contrite," she thought as her body gradually relaxed. He abruptly sucked on her skin, until a scarlet flower bloomed right where he sucked. "Eep!" The unfamiliar feeling felt quite shocking to her. Azusa responded to her reaction, asking provocatively, "What will become of you if this is all it takes to excite you?" It was only natural that the hypersensitive Rin would jump at that unfamiliar feeling.

Azusa took his time to suck on other areas on the back of Rin's body until he had marked it as his territory. The process pleasured her so much that she found herself moaning, shamelessly, like an unleashed cat in heat. After he finished, he pulled back to admire his own handiwork and delighted in his conquest.

"Are you…" Azusa interrupted Rin quickly, saying while flipping her over, "Not finished yet." With her front facing him, she felt more abashed than before, and her back felt a bit weird. She tried to sit up, but he pushed her back down effortlessly and asked, "Did you enjoy the marking process so far?" "What? Were you marking me? I didn't know that!" Then, he beamed a fox grin at her, and teased, "You'll know soon enough."
