Like a scorching sun, a hot and soft flesh opened her lips and entered, stirring her tender mouth.

“Ah, mmm, uh…”

Faint m*ans flowed through their connected lips.

Just from the kiss alone, her whole body felt heated and her legs seemed to weaken, so Jella had to grab Cail’s clothes to barely hold herself up.

Noticing her condition, Cail firmly wrapped his arm around her waist and entwined his tongue more deeply.

She had kissed two men not long ago, but Cail’s kiss was somewhat different from theirs.

It was more intense than the skilled and experienced kiss of Niel, and more stimulating than the kiss of Yupheon, who expertly explored her mouth with his naturally excellent lips.

To the point where she felt a sudden fear that if they continued kissing like this, something serious would happen… that much…

His lips separated with a sensual sound.

“Haa, Jella…”

That voice calling her name was so low and deep that it stimulated her primal senses.

Jella asked while barely catching her breath.

“You, why are you, why are you so good at this?”

As she spoke, her cheeks were flushed red.

Cail gently stroked those lovely cheeks with his thumbs, then lightly lifted her body.

“Do you know? When I first came to the imperial palace.”

Step, step.

Though he took only a few steps, he quickly reached the bed and gently placed her body on it.

“I thought you picked me up for your pleasure.”

At those words, Jella flinched and looked at the owner of the huge shadow cast over her.

His reason had flown away in a slightly different direction than when he was experiencing the rampage precursor symptoms earlier.

Cail’s lips curved upward at her expression that seemed uncharacteristically frightened.

His only desire had been not to be abandoned by her, but the moment he confirmed her love, Cail harbored an even deeper desire.

And his body, whose reason had not yet fully returned due to the aftermath of the rampage precursor symptoms, faithfully followed his desire and headed toward the bed.

The bed undulated greatly. Cail trapped her lower body between his knees and draped his body over her.

“Not just me, but everyone thought so. That Cail Aleret was the pretty bedroom slave warming the Emperor’s bed.”

“…”

Jella’s throat visibly wavered at his calm confession.

In fact, she knew too.

What people called Cail, who freely entered and left her bedroom.

But she deliberately pretended not to know.

To be more honest, she felt embarrassed and awkward to mention that fact with her own mouth.

If it had been someone else, she wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.

Because from that time on, she was already, without even realizing it, conscious of him…

“Although I was a body educated early on to please the female form, you never once kept me by your side in that way. That fact always made me…”

His gaze slowly swept over her body.

“Sorrowful. Because I always wished to touch this body, these lips, this skin…”

Somehow, it felt as if flames erupted wherever his gaze passed. Jella unconsciously breathed heavily and squirmed.

Looking at her with such an ecstatic expression as if he didn’t know what to do because he liked her so much, Cail whispered to her.

“Let me touch you, Jella. Allow me to touch you.”

“Permission like that…”

The thin voice flowing through her lips was heated as if it wasn’t her own.

“You don’t need to ask… mmph.”

Before she could finish her words, she once again had her breath stolen by him.

Unlike the first kiss, it wasn’t just his lips touching her.

The sensation of his thick palm sliding over her skin through her clothes—she wondered why the touch of those hands with scattered calluses felt so incredibly good.

Jella spread her arms and clung to his neck.

At that proactive gesture, he let out a low laugh.

Along with the rustling sound of fabric, empty air wrapped around her skin.

“Jella…”

Even in this hot fervor, goosebumps rose at that voice calling her.

“You don’t know. How much I wanted you. How much I…”

“Ah!”

Jella tightly closed her eyes at the thrilling sensation touching her thigh.

“Love you…”

Feeling the subtle pain from the magical residue that had been floating in her blood vessels gradually diluted by the pleasure he gave, Jella clung to him more deeply.

Hot ecstasy swept over the two of them.

***

The bright sunlight climbing through the window tapped on Cail’s eyes. As he lifted his eyelids, feeling unusually light-bodied unlike usual, he suddenly froze.

On the bed, she was nestled in his n*ked arms. She was also in a state of wearing nothing.

The moment he realized this, Cail’s body stiffened.

‘How in the world…’

As he shook his eyes vigorously, trying to understand the situation by tracing his memories, Jella stirred and moved her body.

Cail let out a pained m*an at the soft and tender female body nestling into his arms.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

His heart beat fiercely.

The body he had always wished to touch long ago was too stimulating.

In that stimulation where all his senses seemed to awaken, there were scenes that suddenly came to mind.

“I love you, Jella.”

“Because I always wished to touch this body, these lips, this skin…”

“Let me touch you, Jella. Allow me to touch you.”

Cail’s face instantly turned pale.

‘What have I done…’

These were things that happened while desire clouded his reason.

It was an irresistible event, and she had also permitted it.

Even while thinking this, he felt a sudden fear as if he had committed a huge sin.

While he was frozen, unable to do anything.

Jella, who had awakened, propped her hand on his chest and raised her head.

“Are you awake, Cail?”

“…”

But Cail couldn’t give any answer.

Seeing him looking as if all blood had drained from his face, Jella asked with a chuckle.

“What’s this? Why are you so stiff?”

“…”

“Don’t tell me you were about to run away thinking you committed a serious crime against me again?”

At those words, Cail immediately shook his head.

Then Jella’s eyes curved gently.

“Then kiss me, Cail.”

“How could I…”

“You said you wanted to be a joy for me, always.”

“…”

It seems he might have said something like that.

The memories that had been hazy when he first opened his eyes were gradually becoming clear.

“I’ll be your joy. Though my skills are inadequate, if you allow me…”

“Ah, mmph, mmm, Cail, hah…”

“I’ll satisfy both your body and heart. So don’t think of other men.”

“Wait, this is too, ah, mmm…!”

“From now on, forever, keep only me by your side.”

Ah, yes. I impudently said such things to her. Such actions. Such…

Squeeze.

Cail couldn’t bear to look at her and tightly closed his eyes.

All he could do, having promised not to run away from her anymore, was to close his eyes and block his vision.

But that wouldn’t make him disappear from in front of her.

Gently.

At this moment, something warm touched his face.

As he slowly opened his eyes, she was stroking his cheek and smiling brightly.

The moment he met those lovingly curved eyes.

Thump…

His heart beat painfully.

Thump, thump, thump…

Not because it was painful and miserable, but because it felt so good.

So good that his heart could beat this strongly to the point of pain.

As if entranced, Cail pulled her waist and lightly lowered his lips onto her clear ones.

Touch.

Touch, touch.

Like the movement of a bird pecking feed with its small beak, those light kisses were gradually becoming more intense when.

Pause.

Cail suddenly stiffened his expression at some sensation he felt.

“Cail?”

“You, right now…”

He had thought his body felt unusually light since the moment he opened his eyes.

Suddenly, he realized that he was fine despite not having released any of the magical energy that had accumulated in him last night.

He hadn’t felt wrong.

She was taking away the magical energy from his body.
