Marionette's face hovered inches above Lillian's. Her movements deliberate before pausing.
Her long black hair cascaded over the side, veiling them from the outside world from what may happen inside.
Her alluring floral scent wafted into Lillian's nose, a lovely mix of roses and something darker, trapping her further under her sudden grasp.
"W-what are you..."
Marionette then leaned down next to Lillian's left ear, softly brushing her lips against it.
Her warm breath blew into her ear, causing Lillian to shiver—stimulating her slightly. (2)
"Is this..." Marionette murmured, her voice deep and velvet, "... Bold enough?"
Lillian's face blushed once more. She felt like her face would become permanently red at this rate, considering how many times it had happened. (8)
"B-bold... enough?" Lillian stammered in awe at what she had just heard. (8)
Marionette nodded, raising her head from Lillian's ear before stopping over her face.
