My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 44.1
Chapter 44.1
“Ugh.”
The moment he opened his mouth to speak, I covered it with my hand.
“You have to release the breath if you talk, so hold your breath and stay still. We’ll cross the barrier like this.”
“….”
Reinhardt seemed like he had something to say, though I shook my head firmly.
“Just hold on for a little bit! If you talk, I’ll have to kiss you again.”
However, he forcefully removed my hand and breathed out with his words.
“…It’s difficult to hold my breath without any warning!”
‘Ugh! Now I have to kiss him again!’
Nevertheless, since it was my fault for telling Reinhardt to hold his breath without warning, I couldn’t help it.
“Then, this time, I’ll give you a warning and breathe into you, so be mentally prepared.”
Reinhardt blinked slowly and nodded, and I covered his face with my hand again. And then, as I was about to kiss him—
‘—I’m nervous!’
Even though I had already done it once, it wasn’t easy to do it again. No, it wasn’t easier because I had already done it once. Because… I knew the feeling of his lips. Just imagining feeling that touch again made my whole body feel hot.
‘As expected, I should only do this kind of thing when I’m not thinking about anything…!’
“Irovel?”
Perhaps sensing that I was hesitating, Reinhardt made a sound.
“That’s… I’m trembling because I have to do it again. You know, I’m weak to this kind of thing.”
“I see.”
He answered, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile. Seeing him smile, I wondered if he wasn’t that unhappy with this situation where he had to kiss me.
“I’ll get ready to hold my breath.”
Reinhardt’s large, strong hand covered my face. And then, his lips, slowly approaching, met mine again.
The familiar touch, but it felt a little different.
This time, my chin was trembling slightly. As if to comfort me, his hand gently stroked my back. But instead of being reassured by his touch, I breathed even more heavily. The next moment, as he slowly opened his lips, I could clearly feel the movement of his lips.
“Hah…”
I couldn’t help but let out a weak sound along with my breath. Reinhardt, thinking that I was sharing my breath with him, closed his lips and pulled away from me.
Plop.
The moment his lips left mine, I heard that embarrassing sound. Feeling embarrassed and hot all over, I couldn’t come to my senses when Reinhardt grabbed my collar and gestured towards the barrier.
“Ah, yes. We should hurry.”
Even in my daze, I quickened my pace. If I walked slowly and Reinhardt exhaled, I would have to kiss him again… I was worried that he would misunderstand that I did it on purpose, and I didn’t think I could handle that feeling again.
Fortunately, thanks to my quick pace, we were able to pass through the barrier before Reinhardt exhaled.
The barrier was invisible, though as we passed through it, I felt my ears become muffled for a moment before disappearing.
Thanks to that, I could tell that we had passed through the barrier.
“Ah. I exhaled.”
However, as soon as we passed through the barrier, Reinhardt said with a troubled expression.
“I guess I’ll have to do it again.”
He said as he looked at my lips, but I shook my head.
“No. Fortunately, we’ve already passed through the barrier, so it’s okay.”
“Ah. Is that so….”
He trailed off unusually. It seemed that he was relieved that he didn’t have to kiss me again.
‘For the fussy Reinhardt, how difficult must it have been to kiss someone he doesn’t even love.’
I patted his back.
“You’ve worked hard. Now, this won’t happen again… Well, it won’t happen again when we return.”
“When can we go back?”
“I told you. It won’t take just a day or two to win over Larboris’s heart.”
“Is that so….”
Reinhardt trailed off, fidgeting with his toes. Was he nervous that he would have to kiss me again, or was he nervous that he would have to return late?
“To return quickly, we need to meet Larboris as soon as possible.”
Hmm, it was the latter, I guess.
“Right. Where would Larboris be?”
I looked around the forest, which didn’t look much different from outside the barrier. I thought the Tartars would come swarming as soon as we crossed the barrier, but they didn’t.
…As soon as I thought that, something jumped out of the grass.
