Chapter 5

“…You gave up on marriage?”  

Declan’s voice sounded a little off for a moment, but Sara soon forgot as Declan buried his face in her soft blonde hair.  

“…I thought I’d never get to touch you like this again…”  

For some reason, his voice was heavy, and Sara quickly pushed his chest away, fearing bad memories would surface.  

“This isn’t the time for that. Look, the red light’s getting stronger.”  

“No, Sara. We have to do this now.”  

Declan ignored the red light and looked into her eyes. His gaze was so serious and earnest that Sara unconsciously held her breath.  

“Are you really… okay with this?”  

His voice was not just careful, but trembling. Sara felt her throat tighten, closed her mouth, and barely managed to nod. At that moment, Declan’s grip on her shoulders tightened.  

After a moment of silence, he whispered in a restrained voice,  

“…Then, lie down.”  

“…”  

Declan gently laid the stiff Sara down on his cloak. Sensing the ordeal to come, she squeezed her eyes shut. Declan made a soft sound, then quickly lowered his face and kissed her eyelids. His rough, warm lips pressed from her eyelids to various parts of her face, and Sara felt her tension slowly ease.  

“Mm.”  

Declan’s lips traced down her face, lightly biting and licking her neck. As Sara flinched, Declan soothed her by gently stroking her neck and shoulders, then sucked deeply on the skin near her collarbone. There was a brief sting, then his hot, damp mouth soothed the area.  

Sara began to worry that her heart would explode from beating so fast.  

“Just… hurry up and do it.”  

Sara turned her head away from Declan and muttered stubbornly. It was embarrassing and confusing to have Declan, who had always been like an enemy, now treating her so tenderly, almost like a lover. Honestly, she hated how much it affected her.  

“…Are you sure?”  

Declan whispered in a low, tense voice. His lips moved against her earlobe, sending a shiver down her spine. She shuddered involuntarily.  

“Sara…”  

Declan called her name in a voice thick with restraint. Sara opened her eyes wide and glared at him in frustration. Why was he acting so emotionally involved? It was just for one day, just a freak accident—wasn’t it unnecessary to go this far?  

‘I’m scared I’ll start having strange thoughts.’  

But there was no other way to save Declan. Sara bit her lip and nodded.  

“…”  

Declan looked down at her, sighed softly, and began to undress her without a word.  

He lifted her robe, removed her shirt and pants underneath. In an instant, Sara was left in her underwear, pulling her legs together and covering her chest with her arms. Declan gently stopped her.  

“Don’t do that, you’re beautiful.”  

“…You don’t have to say that.”  

Sara replied, feeling even more embarrassed because his voice was full of admiration. Why was he like this?  

“Sara… Sara.”  

Declan called her name, touching her body with both hands. As his rough fingers teased her n*pples and stroked her side, Sara couldn’t help but m*an. It felt like she was alternately plunged into hot and cold water—chilled, then burning up… Declan’s hands steadily heightened her sensitivity.  

“I knew you’d be beautiful… but you’re even more so than I imagined.”  

Declan cupped her br*asts and took both tips into his mouth. Sara gasped at the rising pleasure.  

S*ck, slurp. Declan made embarrassingly wet sounds as he sucked her br*asts, licking them as if eating candy. Sara’s vision flashed and her spine tingled—she couldn’t think straight.  

“Haa, ahh… Declan…”  

“Yes, I’m right here, Sara…”  

Declan’s face moved lower, reaching Sara’s secret place. He spread her legs and buried his face between them without hesitation. His hot tongue teased the small nub, sucking and pulling it between his lips. The overwhelming pleasure made Sara’s mind go blank.  

“Ahh, ahh, this… haa… what is this…”  

Declan gripped her thighs tightly and moved his tongue frantically. Not even a starving beast would be so desperate. Completely animalistic, he didn’t stop even when Sara hit him or pulled his hair. He only licked, sucked, and drank the moisture from her.  

“I can’t… haa… it’s weird… ahh, Declan, stop… I feel like I’m dying…”  

Sara twisted her flushed body, sobbing. Declan grasped her n*pple with one hand and whispered,  

“You’re not dying. I’ve only just tasted you—do you think I’d let you die now?”  

“Haa~”  

When Declan bit down on the nub, Sara cl*maxed instantly. Her back arched, toes curled, and her body shook. Declan slowed his tongue, and with every gentle stroke, Sara cried out and bucked her hips.  

Declan watched her quietly as she trembled and rolled her eyes.  

“Haa, haa…”  

Her vision, flickering black and white, slowly returned. Her whole body, which had been tightly wound, relaxed and the feeling of falling vanished. She felt limp, unable to move a finger, when she heard the sound of metal below.  

Declan was quickly removing his light armor. Even so, his blue eyes, now almost animal-like, remained fixed on Sara. The moment their eyes met, chills ran down her spine.  

Sara realized—Declan hadn’t even started yet.  

In an instant, Declan was n*ked, kneeling between Sara’s legs. Sara swallowed and spoke in a trembling voice.  

“No, right?”  

“What?”

Declan asked in a low voice, lifting Sara’s legs and placing them over his shoulders. Sara’s hips were suddenly raised off the ground, and she gripped the cloak beneath her with both hands.

“That, that… that weapon…”

Declan frowned, then lightly bit Sara’s ankle with his canine teeth and laughed.

“Calling it a weapon is a bit much… Well, you’ll come to like it soon enough.”

“Like it?”

Declan’s hand stroked around Sara’s entrance, confirming it was wet, then pulled back. Soon, something thick and hot pressed against her opening. The overwhelming pressure made Sara gasp.

“Wait, hang on!”

“…Why?”

Even though his eyes looked crazed, Declan stopped at Sara’s words. She took quick breaths, trying to calm her startled heart. At that moment, a faint red light began to flicker from Declan’s body again. Seeing this, Sara panicked and threw her arms around Declan’s neck. Declan’s body stiffened.

“Sara…”

He called her name in a groan, then pushed himself inside. Sara cried out, tilting her head back. Declan grimaced and thr*st forward, pushing through and stretching her inner walls as his size advanced without restraint. The pressure and pain was so intense she wanted to escape, but Declan’s arms held her firmly in place.

“Ahhh…”

“Whew, Sara… it feels so good.”

Maybe realizing this couldn’t go on, Declan paused to catch his breath, then pushed in all at once. Sara froze, unable to even cry out. Declan’s hands soothed her body, stroking her chest and teasing her n*pples, while his other hand reached down to rub her sensitive spot. The rising pleasure helped Sara forget the pain.

“Sara…”

After that intense push, Declan went still, calling her name. Sara sniffled and replied.

“Why…”

“Can I keep going?”

Declan gritted his teeth, as if struggling to hold back. Sara bit her lip and nodded.

“If you go gently, okay? Gently…”

“Alright, gently.”

Declan promised, then kissed Sara’s swollen eyelids, forehead, and nose. The soft sounds and gentle touches helped Sara’s tense face relax.

Then, his size withdrew and pushed in again all at once. Sara yelped and smacked Declan’s head.

“I said gently!”

“Ah…”

Declan buried his face in her chest, grumbling.

“I didn’t mean to. D*mn, you feel so good inside.”

“You… you’re a Holy Knight, how can you say such things… ah!”

The intense movement started again, and Sara couldn’t finish her sentence, lost in the sensations. Declan breathed heavily, moving wildly. His large size, slick with her arousal, thr*st in and out relentlessly. After a few strokes, the pain faded and pleasure deepened. Her body gripped and released him repeatedly, urging him on.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Sara’s body flipped over. Before she could react, she was on her stomach and he was inside her again. Declan gripped her slender waist and began moving even faster, as if everything before had been just play.

“Ahh…”

Sara moaned like a cat. Her toes curled and her heart felt like it would burst. The pleasure was so intense for her first time, she felt she might explode.

“Hng, haaa, ah…”

Wet sounds, Sara’s whimpers, and Declan’s heavy breathing filled the air.

“Hng, ugh, haaa, haa…”

She was shaken so much she couldn’t see straight. With her face pressed to the floor and hips raised, Sara felt her insides tighten and clench.

“Ah, it’s… weird… haa, Declan… haaa!”

Her cl*max gripped Declan tightly. He stopped moving, shuddering as his release poured out, and her eager body drank it in hungrily.

Even in her dazed state, Sara’s professional instincts kicked in and she checked that the red light on Declan’s body had vanished. Before she could feel relief, she lost consciousness.
