Before I knew it, my breath became ragged. I was panting audibly. A large hand roamed around my back, stroking up from my hips, making my body tremble furiously. I felt a tiny hint of fear at this unfamiliar feeling, but it was indescribably comfortable, and I began to want it more and more. His blond head moved down to my clavicle; he kissed me there, then buried his head in the region of my chest. I embraced his head with both hands.

But despite how perfect it felt, I was struck with a sense of great impatience. I needed more, and I needed it urgently.

“Lord Simeon...”

In the moment that I called him his name, Lord Simeon’s whole body shook violently.

In one sudden motion, he sat up, moving away from me with surprising vigor. When I opened my eyes, feeling lonely now that his warmth was gone, the face I saw nearby was aghast.

He put both hands firmly on the bed and looked down, not saying a word.

“Lord Simeon?” I asked, wondering what was wrong.

He trembled again, and drew away sharply.

“Lord Simeon? Is something the matter?”

“N-n-no... It’s not... I... I’m...s-sorry...!”

He turned to face away from me. Longing for the warmth I’d been surrounded by until mere moments ago, I nestled up to his back. “What’s wrong? Did I do something to spoil the mood?”

“No, it’s not that. Not that at all. Only...could you please keep some distance? I’d prefer you not to cling to me like this.”

Being told that only made me yearn for him more. “You don’t like it when I get close to you?”

“That’s not what I mean! It’s having something of an...unintended effect, that’s all. I’m begging you, please allow some distance.” He spoke as if it were a matter of life or death, and curled up his body as if trying to escape from me. How odd to see Lord Simeon, of all people, behaving this way! Despite my shock and curiosity as to what was going on, being barred from touching him only made me long for him even more.

“Lord Simeon, if you’re really not annoyed with me, can you please at least show me your face?”

“Please,” he replied haltingly, “just allow me a moment. I promise you, it is absolutely not your fault. I have to...cool my head slightly. That’s all.”

“Are you unwell?”

Now that I thought about it, Lord Simeon, too, had plunged into the river and gotten soaked. He might not have noticed because he’d leapt into action so dynamically, but it was possible he had caught a cold. While I had, intentionally or otherwise, given myself time to recover, he had spent his evening talking to various people and making all sorts of preparations. He hadn’t had any time to regain his strength, so it wouldn’t be odd at all if he had a fever or some such.

Having finally realized this, I began to worry. “Shall I call someone?”

“No, no, no! It’s quite all right. I’m fine. Full of vim and vigor. Perhaps
