Chapter 76. Sad Happiness

“……Hmm.”

After some time had passed, Enoch let out a low hum.

Just by looking at his eyes, I couldn’t tell what had changed. Feeling somewhat anxious, I cautiously asked him.

“H-how do you feel……?”

“……I’m not sure.”

“Pardon?”

“I don’t know what’s different. Ah, my heart is beating a bit wildly, though.”

He placed my hand on his chest. Through his smooth skin, I could feel his heart pounding fiercely.

“I don’t really understand. What is love? A racing heart, a heated body? If that’s all, isn’t it just a breeding instinct?”

Unable to find words to respond, I could only open and close my mouth in silence. The crescent-shaped mark was definitely engraved near his heart, and I made no mistake while casting the spell.

So, the reason for Enoch’s reaction could be one of two things. Either it was due to his personality, or the love spell was an illusion from the start……

“Well…… regardless of anything else, one thing is certain.”

“……What is it?”

“I’m going crazy wanting to kiss you right now.”

Without warning, he brought his face closer. Startled, I flinched and pulled back, but his hand grabbed my shoulder and pushed me down.

In an instant, my view changed. Blinking rapidly, I looked up at him. Enoch trapped me within his arms and leaned in closer. Unable to escape, I stared at him in shock, holding my breath without realizing it.

“I want to kiss you, Ellen.”

Repeating himself, he interlocked our fingers. With his other hand, he gently stroked my cheek. Suddenly, his hand touched my lips.

“On your lips, your neck, and other places……”

“…….”

“And I want to touch you.”

His thumb lightly pressed my lower lip, causing my mouth to open involuntarily. He slipped a finger inside, and despite my startled reaction, he ignored it and found my tongue, brushing against it. Unsure of what to do, I trembled and looked at him.

“Is this what love is? I feel more like an animal.”

A sneer crossed his lips. Even if he asked me what love was, I couldn’t answer. I didn’t know what love was either.

I loved my mother. But that felt like a survival instinct. A desperate desire to be loved by my creator.

If I ever loved someone else, how should I define that emotion?

“Is this the love you wanted?”

He asked mockingly, pulling his thumb out of my mouth. I felt a brief relief, but then he started nibbling on my neck, and I squirmed in surprise.

“Y-Your Highness―”

“Enoch.”

“Enoch……. Ugh.”

A sharp pain stung my skin, followed by the wet, slick sensation of his tongue licking it. As he lifted the hem of my nightdress, his golden eyes looked more clouded than before.

“Is this what you want?”

“Ah……!”

His large hand grabbed my br*ast all at once. The sharp sensation made me twist my body involuntarily, and he urged me in a low, rough voice.

“Tell me, Ellen. Do ‘you’ want this too?”

“I…….”

The thin nightdress, just a single layer, easily tore under his rough hands. My body trembled and shivered. He gently stroked my cheek and waist, and for some reason, his unbelievably tender touch made my eyes well up.

“I…… don’t know, I really don’t know.”

“This is what you wanted. For me to love you.”

I shook my head with my lips tightly shut. I didn’t even know what I was denying. Maybe I didn’t want to know.

Enoch clicked his tongue and threw off his robe. His well-defined chest muscles and firm abs came into view. Between his muscular thighs, his already er*ect manhood stood prominently. I didn’t know where to look, and my eyes wandered.

Enoch picked me up effortlessly. I let out a short scream, but he quickly lay back against the headboard cushions and placed me on his waist.

“Stay still, Ellen. Let me admire you.”

Admire?

I whimpered, shifting my lower body. The contact between us made me feel like I was going crazy. Heat seemed to gather only in that area. I wanted to get down, but he held my hips firmly, preventing any escape.

His lazy golden gaze traveled from my face to my navel in a straight line. He then smiled faintly.

“You’re insanely beautiful.”

“……!”

I was more surprised by his dreamy, hazy voice than by his words.

“Looks like your spell worked. I’m so madly in love with you right now that I feel like I’m losing my mind.”

In the next moment, he changed positions again. I found myself lying beneath him. The sudden shift in view made me dizzy for a moment, but then his hands and lips began exploring my body.

“Ah, ugh……!”

When he cupped my br*ast and licked it, I thought I might pass out. But that wasn’t the end. He extended his tongue to tease the peak and then sucked it into his mouth.

“Ah……!”

He toyed with my peak as if it were candy, moving his tongue around. He nibbled and sucked, the unfamiliar stimulation making me shudder and grip the sheets tightly.

“Ah, ugh, stop…….”

“Stop?”

He briefly pulled away and started sucking on the other br*ast. Meanwhile, his hand kneaded the opposite br*ast like dough.

I couldn’t believe someone was touching my body so freely and sucking it until it was wet. Trembling, I bit my lip.

“You’re already languid. Just from this.”

“…….”

After thoroughly savoring my br*asts, he moved on to my ribs and abdomen, sucking and licking. He left marks all over, as if my body were whipped cream, biting and sucking until there were no unmarked spots.

“Your Highness, no, Enoch…….”

“Yes.”

I didn’t know why I called him. He probably answered meaninglessly too. His lips, which had been nibbling on my neck, exhaled hot breaths as they reached my chin.

“Ha……. Do you want to kiss?”

I shook my head, but he captured my lips anyway. He forced warm moisture into my mouth.

It felt like receiving a new breath. As if my being was melting away and being reborn, unnecessary thoughts vanished, leaving only pure desire inside me.

Squelch, squelch. The wet sounds of our lips meeting echoed. The sensation of our tongues intertwining wasn’t bad. No, it was good. I wanted to taste more, to go deeper.

I want this person.

Maybe from the moment I first saw him……

I wanted to hold this star shining high in the night sky in my hands……

……I think that’s what I thought.

“Ellen.”

He called me in a husky voice after briefly parting our lips. Panting for breath, I answered, “Yes.”

“Touch me too.”

“……!”

Regardless of my shock at his unbelievable request, he guided my hand to his chest. I flailed like a fish out of water, but when a satisfied moan escaped his lips, I lost the will to resist.

“Touching someone, being touched by someone…….”

He brought my other hand to his cheek and murmured to himself. His body heat seeped into my palm. His transparent golden eyes melted like sweet honey.

“I didn’t know it felt this good.”

He let out a small laugh and called himself an animal. Then he kissed me again. Rough and devouring, yet soft and gentle at times.

As our tongues tangled wildly, I exhaled deeply. Before I could catch my breath, his lips captured mine again, devouring me greedily. All of me. Even the last bit of reason left in my mind.

“Ha……”

As our lips parted, gasping for breath, he lifted my legs with both hands.

The realization that my private area was exposed to someone else made me panic and try to cover it, but he grabbed my wrist and moved it away.

“Don’t cover it.”

“No, I can’t……. I don’t want to.”

“Yes, you do.”

He stared intently between my legs and ran his hand over the skin. It felt strangely slippery. He chuckled briefly and showed me his hand.

“You’re already this wet.”

“……!”

There was no time to be shocked. His fingers entered my mouth, brushing against my tongue. A peculiar taste spread. Frowning, I looked up at him.

“How is it?”

“…….”

“Your taste.”

I widened my eyes in disbelief, and he laughed, swirling his fingers in my mouth. I felt like crying. Did he really have to tease me this much? It was too mean.

“Suck it.”

“N……”

I tried to say ‘no,’ but with his fingers in my mouth, the words came out muffled. He prodded my palate as if urging me. Why was he doing this? It was mean. I considered biting down but decided to comply to avoid further torment and sucked his fingers.

“Ha……”

He let out a languid moan as if his fingers were an erogenous zone. His half-lidded eyes looking down at me were obscenely er*tic.

“……!”

Suddenly, his fingers plunged deep into my throat. A slight gag reflex made me flinch, but he abruptly withdrew them. I coughed lightly.

“This is.”

His saliva-coated hand moved to stroke the c*ck that was menacingly prominent between my legs.

“Your mouth is too small, isn’t it?”

His eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to shove it into my mouth immediately. I quickly shook my head. No, absolutely not. I muttered in fear.

“Then……”

He smacked his lips regretfully, then supported my neck and lifted me into a sitting position. I ended up kneeling in front of him. He pulled my hands to grasp his c*ck. The hot, hard mass in my hands made me jump and my shoulders tense up.

“Use your hands. You can lick it with your tongue too.”

“H-how do I……”

His c*ck was too big to hold with both hands. It was a deep pink color, similar to his lips, and it was long and beautifully shaped, but the bulging veins made it look menacing. How was I supposed to do this? Hesitating in confusion, he chuckled and placed his hand over mine.

“Like this.”

“Ah……”

He moved his hand up and down as if demonstrating. The saliva-wet shaft slid against my palm. After a few strokes, slippery prec*m oozed from the tip, wetting my hands.

“Got it?”

“……”

I never dreamed I would learn such a perverted act. But if this was what a relationship between a man and a woman entailed, I had no choice. When I moved my hands as he taught, it seemed to grow even bigger, though it might have been my imagination.

……Could it get even bigger? I blinked rapidly in disbelief. The fact that I was holding a man’s c*ck with my hands was shocking enough, but the thought of it entering my body left me speechless.

“Ha……”

Enoch let out a long, pleased moan. Glancing up, I saw his face drenched in pleasure. For some reason, heat pooled in my lower belly at the sight.

“It feels insanely good, but……”

“……”

“At this rate, I won’t be able to come for a long time.”

He removed my hands from his shaft and moved closer on his knees. The tip of his c*ck brushed against my lips. Looking up at him with uncertainty, he gave me a lazy smile and coaxed.

“Give it a lick, okay?”

“……”

Worried he might suddenly shove it into my mouth, I hesitantly stuck out my tongue and licked the tip. Enoch’s face lit up with a pleased smile. He patted my head and said.

“Ah, cute.”

“……”

Seeing him satisfied…… was unexpectedly nice. Even though I was doing something I never imagined, something so lewd.

Maybe that feeling ignited a spark. I grabbed the base of his p*nis and slowly took the tip into my mouth. It was too big to swallow completely. Holding it comfortably in my mouth, I sucked gently, and a moan of pleasure escaped his lips.

“Ha, this is insane.”

“Mm……”

“You’re doing well even without being taught. You’re a natural.”

He softly stroked my cheek and suddenly pulled his c*ck out. The emptiness left me feeling oddly unsatisfied. Pushing on my shoulders, he said.

“Lie down properly.”

I obediently lay down straight, and he climbed onto my waist, holding his c*ck and stroking it. As his hand moved quickly up and down, the tip brushed against my abdomen.

Finally reaching his climax, his thigh muscles tensed, and s*men spurted from his urethra.

The thick, white fluid flowed down my stomach, pooling in my navel.

It felt like such a bad deed, and I covered my face with my hands, peeking at him through my fingers. He gazed down at me, seemingly admiring the mess he had made.

“Ha……”

He exhaled deeply and spread the s*men across my stomach with his palm. Dipping his fingers into the pool in my navel, he slid them down to my p*ssy.

“Ah……!”

His slippery fingers suddenly penetrated my v*gina. He pushed his s*men inside me with his fingers.

Startled by the unfamiliar sensation, I twisted my hips involuntarily. His other hand pressed and rubbed somewhere on my v*lva. The intense pleasure that shot up my spine was unbelievable.

“Ah, what……”

My inner walls convulsed and clamped down on his fingers. Moving both hands busily, he chuckled. I felt a mix of strange pleasure and overwhelming shame.

“Why are you so sensitive?”

“Mm…… ah!”

“D*mn, you’re clamping down on my fingers like you’re trying to eat them.”

Cursing roughly, he looked more dangerous than ever. Another finger joined the first, and though it was a bit tight at first, my inner walls stretched to accommodate both fingers easily.

“Ah, mm, ah……”

“Feels good?”

“Ah……”

“Here?”

When his fingertips pressed a spot inside, a shiver-inducing pleasure shot through my belly. My lower abdomen tightened involuntarily, and my vaginal walls clamped down hard on his fingers.

“Ha, this is driving me crazy……”

“Ah……!”

With a third finger inserted, he thrust deeply, causing wet sounds and splashes. Unable to believe this obscene scene, I covered my face with my arms and shut my eyes.

“Move your arms.”

“Ugh……”

“Open your eyes. Watch properly.”

He didn’t allow me to avoid the situation. Holding my nape, he forced me to look down. With my hips slightly lifted, I could see his fingers rapidly moving in and out of my hole.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

The overwhelming pleasure made my upper body jerk involuntarily. My mind went blank, unable to think of anything. I just wanted to relieve this itchy sensation quickly.

“Ah, ah! Faster!”

“Yeah, faster.”

“Ah……!”

“You want it faster?”

“Ugh……”

Even his dirty talk flowed naturally as he moved his wrist rapidly. His fingers pressed and rubbed the exact spot that sent pleasure shooting through me. When his fingers thrust in hard, an electric shock-like pleasure exploded and spread throughout my body.

“Ah……”

“Phew……”

My inner walls contracted and relaxed repeatedly, gripping his deeply embedded fingers. My pelvis and thighs trembled. Without warning, he pulled his fingers out. The fluids that soaked his hand dripped down from his wrist to his elbow.

“Ha……”

He let out a stunned breath and licked the fluids off his hand. I stared at him in shock.

“Why are you eating that……!”

He even stuck his fingers in his mouth and sucked them. I gaped in disbelief.

“It tastes good. Really.”

“……”

He seemed crazy. Ignoring my reaction, he licked his fingers clean and smiled. I lay there, dazed.

“Sleepy? You can’t sleep yet. You haven’t properly taken me inside you.”

He scolded, poking my v*gina with his finger. I buried my flushed face in the pillow and glanced at him. He stood up briefly, retrieving a crystal bottle from the nightstand.

Pouring a generous amount of oil into his palm, Enoch rubbed it over his c*ck. Then he grabbed my thighs and spread them wide, pouring the remaining oil over my v*lva.

“Mm……”

Maybe because the heat from earlier hadn’t dissipated, the sensation of the oil flowing over my skin felt especially sensitive.

Enoch positioned himself between my legs, rubbing his menacingly er*ect c*ck against my v*lva. The oil made his movements smoother.

Knowing what was about to happen, I tensed up. Enoch pressed the tip of his c*ck against my entrance and commanded.

“Relax.”

I took deep breaths, trying to relax. But the thought of that thick, long thing entering me made me tense up again.

“If you don’t relax, you’ll get hurt.”

This time, he spoke gently and leaned in. Our lips met. After a light peck, his thick tongue slipped into my mouth.

“Mm……”

The rising pleasure from our tongues mingling made me moan. His hand gently caressed my br*ast. As my body relaxed, his c*ck pressed against my entrance and slowly pushed inside.

“Ah……”

The tight fullness took my breath away. It was accompanied by a pain I had never experienced before. With his lips still on mine, I tried to push him away, struggling.

Shh, it’s okay. He whispered soothingly with his lips against mine. His c*ck continued to push inside, leaving only the base outside. Enoch lifted his upper body and straightened his back. Holding my hips, he thrust his c*ck in to the hilt.

“Ah!”

I cried out, my lower abdomen and legs trembling. Pinned like a skewer, I couldn’t move. The overwhelming fullness was unbearable.

“Phew……”

Sweat dripped from Enoch’s chin as he brushed his black hair back. Even in my pain, I found his appearance maddeningly sensual.

He didn’t move right away, instead gently stroking my body, trying to soothe me.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“I’m…… okay…… I can bear it……”

I lied, trembling. Enoch leaned down and kissed me softly. The kiss was so tender it felt sweet.

The pain remained, but the kiss made my heart feel open.

“I’m going to move now.”

Straightening his back, he grabbed my thighs and spread them wide. His c*ck went deeper inside. I clenched my teeth and endured the foreign sensation of having someone else’s part inside me.

“Tell me if it hurts. Don’t hold back.”

I relaxed my clenched jaw and nodded with effort. I intended to endure the pain. I had heard the first time was always painful.

“Ha……”

He let out a low sigh and moved his hips very slowly. He almost pulled his c*ck out to the tip, then slowly pushed it back in to the base. Repeating this several times, the pain that felt like my body was splitting remained, but an inexplicable heat gathered in my lower abdomen.

“Ah……”

I moaned unconsciously and squirmed. Enoch held my waist firmly with one hand and grabbed my br*ast with the other.

When I looked up at his face, he was surprisingly immersed in ecstasy. His golden eyes, gleaming with desire, met mine and I felt completely captivated.

“Ah, it feels good……”

“Huh……”

“It feels so good……. I’m going crazy.”

His thrusts became increasingly fierce. As he picked up speed, my body shook up and down like a piece of paper. Oil and fluids mixed at our joining point, splashing and making wet sounds. His hard body repeatedly collided with mine, making my thighs and b*ttocks feel sore.

“Ah! Ugh! Ah……”

“Ellen……. Does it hurt?”

“No…… It’s strange…… Ah!”

Something felt strange. The friction against my inner walls stung, but the inside felt ticklish, making my limbs curl. It was similar to when he fingered my entrance, but the sensation was more intense and kept building up endlessly.

“If it doesn’t hurt, it must feel good.”

“Mm, ah, ah!”

“You’re not just enduring the pain, are you?”

“Huh……”

Biting my lip and shaking my head, he sighed softly. Suddenly, a soft touch brushed my cheek. The gentle, considerate kiss soothed the pain and sadness in my heart like smoke dissipating.

“……I told you not to endure it.”

“Ugh……”

Even while whispering sweetly, he didn’t stop thrusting into me. I felt like I was losing my mind. My whole body was heating up, and my mind was boiling over. Pleasure numbed my senses. Unconsciously, I reached out to cling to him, but my hands only grasped at empty air.

He smirked slightly and supported my nape with one hand, lifting me into a sitting position. Then he pulled me in and devoured my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and obediently opened my mouth. His warm breath and soft tongue invaded my mouth immediately.

“Mm, um……”

Our saliva mixed messily, and our tongues tangled wetly. He sucked on my tongue so hard it felt like the root would go numb. As he continued the skilled kiss, he rotated his hips, stirring my insides with his c*ck. The slightly different stimulation made me moan involuntarily.

“Huh……”

I couldn’t bear the ticklish sensation. I wanted him to scratch it harder. I instinctively moved my hips, and Enoch chuckled against my lips. He released my mouth and hugged me tightly with both arms. Then he pulled his c*ck out almost entirely before thrusting it back in from below.

“Ah!”

A flash of light burst before my eyes. My whole body trembled as if in convulsion. His rough thrusts continued relentlessly. My abdominal and thigh muscles twitched involuntarily. I clung to him desperately, feeling like I would be swept away by the fierce waves of pleasure.

“Ha, ha……”

“Ah!”

As he grabbed my hips and thrust deeply, he suddenly bit down on my br*ast. My body, already highly sensitive from the heat, took it as a strong stimulus. My hips jerked up, and my inner walls contracted tightly. Enoch growled through his teeth.

“Huh……”

He suddenly flipped me over and lifted my hips high. Then he thrust his c*ck back in. I cried out in a scream-like moan and gripped the sheets tightly with both hands. He held my waist firmly and pounded into me violently. The speed was too much to keep up with, leaving me dazed.

“Ah, ah! Ah!”

The overwhelming, rough pleasure surged through me. Every nerve in my body stood on end, and an electric current ran down my spine. The heat in my lower body felt like it would melt away. Tears flowed uncontrollably from the intense physical response. I clung to the sheets, moaning as if I would die.

Suddenly, my vision flipped. Enoch had laid me down properly. Panting, I looked up at him. His furrowed expression seemed both angry and extremely aroused.

“Ah……”

The c*ck that had briefly slipped out plunged back in deeply. He grabbed my knees, spreading my legs wide, and thrust wildly. The position made it easy to see the thick shaft moving in and out of me.

It felt like a pulse was throbbing at the point where we were joined. The soaked joining point splashed and made wet sounds.

“Ah, ah! Ah!”

As he pounded into me mercilessly, he suddenly clenched his teeth and leaned in to hug me tightly. At the moment the hard shaft struck deeply inside, the pleasure that had been building to its limit exploded. An overwhelming pleasure I had never experienced before rippled through my entire body.

My mind went blank. He held my trembling body tightly, sinking his teeth into my neck. At the same time, my inner walls clamped down on his c*ck. Buried deep inside, his c*ck twitched and released hot s*men several times.

“Huh……”

“Ha……”

It felt like my belly was filled to the brim. He suddenly lifted his head and licked the tears from my eyes. He kissed my lips, pecking lightly like a bird. Still breathing heavily, he bit and licked my lips. Then he pushed his tongue into my mouth, exploring it thoroughly.

“Mm, um……”

After sucking on my lips strongly, he slowly straightened his back. Then he pressed down on my lower abdomen with his palm, still filled with his c*ck.

“Ah……”

When he pulled his c*ck out, white s*men that my womb couldn’t contain spilled out. It flowed so much that it soaked the sheets.

……Does it usually come out this much? The thought brought back a bit of rationality. I remembered the contraceptive pill I had secretly taken before the wedding night.

The pill, though potentially harmful to the body, was made with effective ingredients and was very expensive and hard to obtain. I managed to get it with great difficulty. Of course, no one knew about it.

Even if it wasn’t good for my body, I had no choice but to take it. As a one-year wife with a limited time, having his child was not allowed for me.

As he caressed my body and showered me with light kisses, he aligned his c*ck with my entrance and pushed it in again. My walls, loosened from the previous session, easily accepted the swollen shaft.

As he moved his hips slowly, my body swayed like wet paper. Staring blankly at his face, immersed in pleasure, I realized that this wasn’t as bad as I thought. There was undoubtedly pain and discomfort, but strangely, even that pain felt lovely.

“……”

I closed my eyes, feeling tears well up again. The warmth we shared and this intimate act seemed to fill an unknown void in my heart.

The truth I had been avoiding finally surfaced.

Ah, I had been drawn to you for a long time already.

It was a sad happiness.

* * *

“……Ellen, are you already asleep?”

The woman, limp and unmoving, had her eyes closed. Enoch carefully observed Ellen’s face as he pulled his c*ck out from deep inside her.

Her face was flushed red with heat. Her lips, swollen from all the kissing and sucking, were red and puffy. Tear stains covered her eyes and cheeks.

Her pale body was marked with the red spots he had left. Enoch counted those petal-like marks, then smiled contentedly and gently, but carefully, picked her up.

How many times had they done it? He had lost count after the third time.

Like a thief learning late, he hadn’t realized how time had flown. The pleasure in the relationship between a man and a woman, which he discovered at the age of twenty-five, had completely numbed his senses.

Maybe this woman—his ‘wife’—was too tempting. It was a reasonable argument. After all, he was under her spell.

……Still, feeling he had overdone it on their first night, Enoch carried Ellen to the bathroom.

He held her close while filling the bath with warm water, then got into the tub with her still in his arms.

Enoch gently washed the sleeping Ellen, kissing her temples, cheeks, chin, neck, and lips lightly.

His small wife, who fits perfectly in his arms, was so lovely that he couldn’t help but smile.

The magic of love is really effective.

Without the magic’s compulsion, he wouldn’t have loved anyone, but since it had happened, Enoch decided to enjoy it as much as possible until the love, as Ellen said, ran its course.

When the spell breaks, then……

Well, that’s something to think about later.

As long as Ellen had foresight magic, Enoch had no intention of letting her go.

Keeping her by his side with the shackle of marriage until death wasn’t a bad idea.

He suddenly kissed Ellen’s neck and murmured with a laugh.

“……My wife.”

My woman.

My mage.

Mine.

Owning her gave him an unexpected, immense satisfaction. He was sure of one thing: this pleasure would last longer than any other he had enjoyed before.

“Please take care of me until I get tired of you, wife.”

No matter how cruel his words were, Ellen wouldn’t cry or be sad. After all, she didn’t truly love him either.

There was no fairy tale where a human being was reborn into love in his heart. He didn’t believe that love that is brought by magic could change him.

So all of this was a house of cards.

A pretty fairy tale made of fake love.

One day, it would melt away like a sugar candy in the summer heat.
