The Charm of the Pirate

Richi's Change

Pace Island, February 1500.

Sofia has trouble breathing, she tries to compensate for Richi's kiss, but she has trouble. Richi realizes Sofia's irregular breathing. She stops kissing Sofia, their noses sticking to each other. Sofia tries to take her eyes off, but Richi holds her back so that Sofia cannot turn away.

"Can I kiss you again?" Richi's whisper in Sofia's ear. Sofia's reflexes moved away and covered her ears. The heat spread from where Richi's lips were attached.

Sofia did not answer anything, Richi interpreted it as a form of approval. She gently caressed Sofia's still wet hair. Tuck some of her hair behind her ears and pull Sofia's body closer.

Sofia lowered her head, but Richi raised her chin so she could freely kiss him.

The sweet taste was felt at the tip of Sofia's tongue, as their tongues intertwined. Her lower lips felt softly lipped when Richi deliberately sucked her upper lips then alternately sucked Sofia's lower lips regularly and continuously.

Their hearts beat in rhythm, both pounding as if they were racing to reach the finish line.

Richi's right hand stroked Sofia's back gently. Down from the base of the neck down to below the waist.

Nngg..

A soft sigh comes out of Sofia's mouth as Richi's hand touches her stomach. Sofia's stomach feels soft in her hands, Richi likes it.

Sofia's thin clothes make Richi unable to take her eyes off Sofia's body which is almost visible even from the outside.

"Breathe.." Richi's whisper softly in Sofia's ear.

They kissed passionately again until their breath sounded together.

The sound of knocking on the door makes Sofia surprised and the reflex pushes Richi away.

Richi laughed as she looked at Sofia's surprised expression.

Sofia was upset and pouted.

Richi pinched both of his cheeks in a fit of anxiety.

"Miss.."

"Evening is ready." Elie's voice came from behind the door.

"It seems they're waiting.." Richi looked at Sofia gently.

"I know!"

"We'd better go." Sofia is still upset to see Richi laughing at her.

"Should we go?" Richie stood up reluctantly.

"Must!!" Sofia pulls Richi's hand quickly.

"Well.."

"All right, Princess.." Richi quickly carries Sofia like a Princess.

"Down me.." Sofia kicked her leg.

"No.."

"I'll drop you there."

"Why are you doing unnecessary things?"

"You're hurt.."

"I'm fine.."

"You didn't refuse when Hades was holding you." Richi's expression turned upset.

A sentence flashed through Sofia's mind.

"Huh?"

"Are you jealous?"

"Jealous?"

"Yes.."

"You're jealous.."

"I'm not."

"Is that so?"

"Well, I won't refuse if Hades wants to carry me again."

"Don't do that."

"Why?"

"Don't let Hades or another man touch you!"

"Why?"

"I don't like it."

"I don't mind." Sofia raised both eyebrows.

"I said no!"

"Why??"

"Because you belong to me!" Richi stared hard at Sofia.

"When have I been yours?" Sofia turned her eyes.

"Since this moment and forever." Richi drops Sofia off and kisses her.

Proks

Proks

Proks

There was applause from the front. Hades is laughing at Richi and Sofia.

Sofia is surprised and pushes Richi, Sofia's body staggered forward due to her unbalanced legs, but Richi quickly holds her back so they embrace again.

"God..."

"What an interesting show..!"

"You can continue later."

"Now let's eat!"

"We're not.." Sofia tries to argue back, but Hades laughs louder regardless of what Sofia says, and he enters the Mansion.

"You can let go of your embrace now.." Sofia murmured in Richi's ear.

Richie raised both his hands up. "All right.." He smiled happily.

"You did it on purpose." Sofia.

Richi raised both eyebrows and pretended not to hear anything.

"Come, they've been waiting.." Richi walked towards the Mansion.

Sofia hits Richi's back hard.

BUKS!!

Richi blinked one eye.

"Don't get too far from me.." His whisper was in Sofia's ear.

"Why?!"

"Later I miss.." Richi held Sofia's hand tightly.

Sofia covered her face with one hand. His face flushed very quickly.

"Gosh.."

"Don't say such shameful things.."

"But I'm honest."

"You know, I don't like lies." Richi blinked his eyes again.

Sofia really can't dwell. He just shook his head in a fit of resignation. Deep down, she felt so happy that Richi treated her like that.

Elie screams a little from the bushes for peeking at Sofia and Richi.

"What's Miss Elie doing?" Chris patted Elie on the back.

"Gosh..!"

"Girl!"

"You almost made my heart stop beating." Elie patted her chest.

"Well.."

"I'm sorry, Miss.."

"I didn't know you'd be surprised like that.." Chris scratched his non-itchy head.

"Don't do anything like that again..." Elie pointed at Chris with her index finger.

"Yes, Miss.."

"I'll remind you.."

"But, what are you doing in these dark bushes?"

"Well.." Elie feels caught off guard.

"Nothing.."

"I'm looking at the view.." Elie takes her eyes off of Richi and Sofia.

Chris followed Elie's line of sight, and Elie quickly pushed him.

"Let's have dinner!!" Elie tried to cover Chris's eyes.

Chris is further confused, but he reluctantly asks further and chooses to follow Elie to the Mansion.

* * *

Everyone had gathered at the dining table, including Richi and Sofia, they were sitting next to each other. There was no longer any tension between them. Joy was happy because the dinner this time was peaceful.

"You look happy." Hades started the conversation.

"Who?" Richie looked at Hades.

"You!" Hades pointed at Richi with a knife in his hand.

Joy begins to panic when she sees Hades brandishing a bread knife at Richi.

"Me?"

"Yes.."

"sure.." Richi looked at Sofia with a gentle look.

"Well..." Hades laughed at the direction of Richi's gaze.

Sofia looked at Richi, She shook her head.

"What are you going to do tomorrow?" Ask Sofia Hades.

"I don't know.."

"Richi, take him around."

"Don't you know this place well." Hades raised both eyebrows.

"All right.."

"Wear the boat in the barn if you need it." Hades looked back at Sofia, then blinked one eye.

Richi who looked directly at Hades. Hades laughed heartily at Richi's annoyed expression. While Sofia's eyes sparkled to hear the words of Hades.

"Can't you?" Ask Sofia.

"Boat?" Ask Hades back.

"Yes...." Sofia pleaded with her eyes.

"Sure, you can use it tomorrow." Answer Hades.

"Thank you.." Sofia stood up, then walked towards Hades and hugged him from behind.

Richi is even more upset to see Hades laughing happily.

"You can hug me too." Richi pulls Sofia's hand which hugs Hades.

"For what?" Ask Sofia.

"There's no excuse."

"Hurry up and hug me!" Richi clasps Sofia's hand.

"God..." Sofia hugged Richi tightly.

"You satisfied?"

Richi did not answer, He just smiled.

"Gosh.."

"Stop.."

"All the food I eat will come out again."

"Keep out of my sight." Hades snorted in annoyance.

Elie and Joy are silent, they hold back the laughter from being heard by Hades and Richi.

Dinner went pretty well. Joy was happy that the whole meal ran out quickly.

Richi escorts Sofia to Rose Pavilion while Elie helps Chris clear the dining table.

"Don't walk too fast."

"Why?" Ask Sofia.

"I'll get lost if you're not around.."

"Gosh.."

"Stop it.." Sofia flips over and hits Richi's chest.

Richi pulls Sofia into his arms.

"Don't hug another man.."

"Please.." Richi's embrace is getting stronger.

Sofia's heart is pounding, and she doesn't want Richi to know.

'Calm my heart'

'Calm down..' Sofia murmured in her heart.

"If you hug another man.."

"I'll.."

"What?"

"I'll hug you many times over."

"Gosh.."

"You got it?!"

"Yes.."

"And.."

"Tomorrow prepare.."

"I'll pick you up early in the morning.." Richi looks at Sofia and kisses her forehead.

Sofia had no chance to answer.

"Beingrested..."

Richi kisses the back of Sofia's hand and walks away.
