Aria let out a slight hum as we continued kissing, while I did my best to hold back from getting too carried away and upping the pace.

I stroked her cheek with my right thumb as I kissed her tenderly, my left hand resting on the small of her back, her hands on my shoulders.

O-Okay, this is getting me real hot and bothered, I should end it here before I get too aroused, I'm not far off from that point as it is, my heart is pounding faster and faster with every passing second.

I steadily slowed down the pace, before starting to pull away...

"Mm!" She protested, her left hand swiftly moving up to the back of my head as she pulled me towards her again, pressing my lips onto hers before suddenly freezing and pulling back, her eyes wide as she blurted out, "I-I'm sorry! I-I don't know what came over me! I, um, I just didn't want to stop, a-and got carried away, I-...!"

"H-Hey, take it easy, just relax. There's no need to panic...I definitely didn't mind that, though it did surprise me," I smiled, patting her head as I caught my breath and tried to calm myself down.

That really did catch me off-guard, I didn't expect it at all.

"I-I know, but...I can't help but feel mortified, I can't believe I did that," She mumbled, as she bumped her forehead against my chest, hiding her face.

"It's okay, you don't need to be embarrassed...actually, I found it really flattering. Like, wow, this beautiful, amazing woman wants to keep kissing me, that's gonna do wonders for my ego," I grinned, trying to lighten the mood.

"R-Really?"

"Yeah, definitely."

"Um, in that case...is it okay if we keep going? I...I really like how it felt," She whispered bashfully, as she peeked up and met my gaze, my heart rate quickening slightly.

"Well, what a coincidence...I really like how it felt too," I replied, before adding as I closed my eyes, "And to keep things fair, I believe it's your turn to initiate-...mm."

She cut me off before I could finish my sentence, kissing me again without hesitation, running her right hand through my hair as she pressing her left hand against the middle of my back, pulling herself closer towards me.

She began steadily picking up the pace, caressing my lips with hers more fervently, her breathing growing heavier and a bit ragged.

She wrapped her leg around my legs as she placed her hands on either side of my face, a slight shudder running down my spine as I felt her trace her tongue across my lower lip, grabbing it between her lips and pulling on it slightly.

My chest was pounding, my face felt like it was on fire, and I was starting to struggle to think clearly...th-this is bad, I can't remember ever feeling this turned on before, but I...I can't let myself push it too far and end up trying something that she isn't ready for or comfortable with, I have to do things at her pace.

As I grew increasingly flustered, I began to slow down the rhythm between us, breathing deep and slow to compose myself, before pulling back...

"Wh-Why'd you stop?" She stuttered in a hoarse whisper as she tried to catch her breath, before adding worriedly, "Did I do something wrong? I-I'm sorry, I was just trying something I saw in one of the instructional videos I watched, b-but I guess I didn't do it right-..."

"No, that's...that's not it at all. Quite the opposite, actually...it felt way too good. It's not that I wanted to stop, I had to...if I'd gotten any more aroused, I wouldn't have been able to hold back," I shook my head, still feeling pretty flustered.

"I-I see, then...it's fine, you don't need to hold back."

"H-Huh?"

"While I am really flustered, I, um...I don't know, I feel strangely calm and at ease at the same time. I don't feel nervous anymore...the more I kissed you, um, the more relaxed I felt mentally.

So, you don't need to hold back anymore...or rather, I don't want you to hold back anymore," She replied with a warm smile, as she placed her hand on my cheek.

"Are...are you really sure you're ready?"

"Yeah...I am. And I'm not just saying that on impulse in the heat of the moment...I feel certain."

"Alright, but...if at any point you want to stop, say the word. Promise?"

"Yeah, I promise. But somehow, I have a strong feeling that I won't want to stop," She responded, before adding with an embarrassed look on her face, "Is...it okay if I put my hands under your shirt? I, um...I want to touch you, directly, I mean."

She's going to make my heart explode at this rate...

"Of course, go for it," I nodded, getting chills.

"And, to keep things fair...you can do the same to me," She whispered, pulling her dress up slightly.

"You're really driving me crazy here, Aria..."

"Good," She smiled, before closing her eyes and leaning in, kissing me as she slipped her hands under my shirt.

I shuddered as she ran her hands across my chest, before slowly trailing down to my abdomen, exploring my torso. I reached down for the end of her dress, before she squirmed slightly as I traced my fingertips across her thighs, steadily running them up to her hips.

I lightly squeezed her hips before slowly brushing my fingertips up and down along her sides, her waist pressing against mine as she arched her back, before pushing her tongue into my mouth.

I twirled the tip of my tongue against hers as she kissed me deeply, her right leg shifting forward and pushing between my legs, her hands moving to my back.

She jerked her right hand slightly as one of her nails got caught on a thread, before pulling back and meeting my gaze, a few seconds going by as she caught her breath, before whispering...

"U-Um...our clothes are getting in the way. Maybe...we should take them off?"
