“Father said I could leave whenever I wanted.”

“So you’re going to abandon me? Because of that old man in the back room?”

“Yes, that’s what I’m going to do. I… need to live too, don’t I?”

She didn’t want to stay here nursing an old man and wither away like a dried-up tree. She wanted to be happy, even if it was just from now on.

Because not even a speck of love for you remains in my heart.

As she kept dwelling on reality in her mind, her heart seemed to grow even colder. It even gave her enough composure to glance at him standing before her.

Throughout her sidelong glances, she could see him looking completely lost.

Honestly, I didn’t want to bring up Father-in-law.

He always suffered nightmares whenever his father or his late mother was mentioned. He definitely wouldn’t sleep easily tonight either.

The same went for herself.

She clutched the soft fabric of her dress and walked past him, left only with pain in this reality.

Both you and I need this.

They had been family, for better or worse, but tonight it hit her coldly that they could no longer smile within the framework of family.

Yes, this is right.

The moment Thea grabbed the door handle, telling herself they both needed time and trying to organize her thoughts—unfortunately, she couldn’t escape. He rushed after her and snatched her pale wrist.

“Where are you going in such a hurry, dear?”

“I told you. I’m getting a div—”

Her words vanished before she could finish. He glared at her with eyes reddened with fury, then swallowed her hateful words by biting into her lips.

“Mmph…”

The sudden invasion of another’s tongue choked off her breath. Thea struck his chest with her free hand, but he didn’t budge an inch.

When his lips finally pulled away after biting and sucking at hers for a long while, his red tongue was clearly visible.

The sight of it glistening wet with saliva made her head spin.

“Dear, do you know what day it is today?”

“Don’t tell me…”

Thea’s face turned deathly pale with fear. She hadn’t checked the date, but from his reaction, it was clearly one of those nights they were supposed to spend together.

Of all days to declare divorce, it had to be the day they rutted like animals.

“As the lady of the house, you need to fulfill your role, don’t you?”

“No… you can’t.”

Thea’s resistance instantly crumbled under the breath that came again.

“Dear, undress.”

“……”

Under his forceful command, she eventually began slowly lowering her head and unbuttoning her dress.

Her trembling hands kept missing the buttons, fumbling out of rhythm, until Acel, unable to watch any longer, picked up Thea and flung her onto the bed with a whoosh.

“Ah!”

Before she could finish her small scream, he pounced on her like a dog and stripped off her dress with rough hands, throwing it to the floor.

In an instant reduced to wearing not a single thread, Thea trembled like an aspen leaf at the chill touching her bare skin.

Then she crawled slowly but escape-like toward the headboard. She hadn’t realized that would provoke him.

“Hah, honey. Anyone watching would think I’m about to devour you.”

He let out a faint irritation, like she was doing something pathetic, and grabbed Thea’s pale ankle, dragging her back.

“I’m not in a good mood today, so I can’t be as gentle as usual.”

“Then tomorrow, we can do it tomorrow.”

She spoke in a trembling voice, since they had occasionally postponed these nights before, but he lightly ignored her suggestion.

“Were those bastards’ c*cks really that delicious? Enough to disregard the night you’re supposed to spend with me?”

“No. Honey, I didn’t do anything like that.”

“Be quiet. I could tell from the moment honey was dripping from beneath you. While I was gone, you must have sucked, bit, and shaken those bastards’ c*cks.”

“Ugh, hnn…”

Thea raised both hands to cover her mouth.

After reciting with sharp eyes, he undressed and began sucking at Thea’s lower belly with his lips.

At the hot breath descending more and more blatantly, Thea felt like crying.

Before long, he parted her thicket and entered deeper inside, opening his mouth to gently flick with his tongue.

When he raised his head after teasing her sensitive flesh mockingly, his mouth was covered and glistening with her fluids, and saliva dripped down his lips in a stream.

“For someone who dislikes it, you’re enjoying yourself quite a bit. I suppose even so, I’m much better than those lowly things.”

“N-no. I’m not…”

She shook her head in denial, but he snorted like it was ridiculous, then fondled his stiffly risen pillar with his hand.

It was so massive that thick veins writhed over his dark red c*ck. At the size bigger than most beasts, Thea gulped.

She recalled memories of that terrifyingly large pillar digging into her insides and trampling her mercilessly.

Contrary to the desperate situation, her compatibility with him was insanely good.

Because he scratched her itchy spots well even without being told.

She bit down hard on her tongue at the situation where saliva pooled automatically from the ingrained pleasure.

I can’t get excited.

Why was she swallowing when this was supposed to be like being violated?

Unaware of Thea’s feelings, his touch became even more expl*cit.

Squelch—

As he roughly moved up and down, sticky prec*m clung to his hand.

The sight was so er*tic that Thea, unable to hold back any longer, instinctively clenched her lower belly hard.

Trickle—

She felt her insides churning as fluids flowed out.

He lowered his head to the clear liquid flowing over her pale legs, sniffed at it, then stuck out his tongue to taste the fishy fluid.

“Hah… I thought I was the only b*stard, but it seems you’re quite the b*tch yourself, honey?”

He grinned wickedly.

At his dog-like behavior again, Thea turned red with embarrassment, her pale skin flushing.

“Ha, dear. Did you go into heat from my hand play?”

“……”

At her inability to say no, he swallowed a hollow laugh and brought his gl*ns to her entrance.

The already prepared entrance squirmed, ready to deliciously devour Acel’s c*ck. Heavy pressure came crashing in.

“Nngh, ah!”

Thea clutched the white sheets with her hands and squeezed her eyes shut. Despite having mixed bodies many times, it was a large pillar she couldn’t get used to.

The pillar entering like it was splitting her body dug inside solely for pleasure, without any affection.

His member, which had been entering smoothly for a while, stopped.

Hm…?

The moment Thea opened her eyes slightly with puzzlement, the c*ck that had been inside her body pulled out in an instant, then struck her depths with a thud.

“…!”

Her vision turned pure white before returning. Acel began thrusting madly at the inner spot where Thea felt most sensitive.

Thud, thud, thud!

As the sounds multiplied, saliva drooled from her mouth, and sweat beaded on his face as he swung his hips like an enraged beast.

“With such, such chewy insides, which b*stard were you planning to f*ck when you asked me for a divorce?”

He spoke vulgarly in informal speech and gripped her waist strongly, like he wouldn’t let go.

“Tell me. Was it the stable hand? Or that vegetable seller who smiled brightly at you?”

“Hah, mmm, ugh…”

Thea couldn’t produce coherent words. It was because her mind grew hazy as the hot c*ck kept entering and exiting between the squelching sounds.

“Not answering?”

He, who had been thrusting deep into her waist, seemed to grow spiteful and raised his hand to strongly touch the cl*toris hidden in her thicket. Normally he would have touched it gently, but flushed red, he couldn’t.

“Haah!”

“Hah, you must be really happy that I’m touching you here? You’re biting down on my c*ck like you’re trying to tear it off.”

“Hng!”

At Thea’s intensifying moans, he busily played with the nub, his fingertips covered in slippery fluids.

“Hnngh!”

“Haa… You’re so lewd.”

At the intense stimulation, Thea’s eyes rolled back and her back arched like a bow. Even though she looked ready to lose consciousness at any moment, the pounding continued.

Thud, thud, thud!

Along with the sounds echoing like beasts mating, his thick voice mixed in.

“You’re mine.”

Displaying his deep possessiveness fully, he picked up speed in his thrusting. Thea’s insides were hot like they were on fire. And Acel bit down hard on his lower lip, enduring Thea’s inner walls tightening to prevent him from going deeper.

Despite having mixed bodies enough to tear her insides, Thea’s p*ssy acted like it was their first night.

What a born seductress.

The thought that these chewy insides might have been tasted by worthless bastards made blood rush to his head.

You’re mine. I can’t give you to anyone.

He gritted his teeth and forcefully pried open the inner walls pushing him out to the end. Then, upon reaching the deepest point, he cl*maxed with an expression full of ecstasy.

He felt hot liquid surging and flowing out.

“Hng…”

“How is it? Is the seed I gave you delicious? Much more than those things?”

“I… haven’t had relations with anyone but you.”

“How can I believe that? When your legs open so easily.”

She could feel the sticky liquid pooling inside her, radiating hot heat. But it felt too soon to end it like this.

He rotated his still-er*ect c*ck in circles, smearing his s*men inside.

“Haahh!”

At the returning pleasure, Thea trembled violently. The sight was so pretty.

He really did get called a dog, so he must have actually become one.

Aren’t they rutting just like dogs mounting each other?

I wish she’d get pregnant soon.

Then she wouldn’t even dream of running away.

* * *

Three days had passed since spending the night with Acel. Not much time remained before leaving this house.

For having parted in such a mess, it had been remarkably quiet—the butler told her that on the day they raised their voices in argument, he’d gone out and hadn’t returned home since.

Thanks to that, it helped her sort out her remaining feelings.

Still, the reason her feet wouldn’t move easily was—

He’s such a stormy person, so that must be why.

Quiet as it was, she couldn’t help but worry. And she could tell the grim weather of this house played a part too.

Throughout her glances beyond the window, fierce gusts and dry lightning struck intermittently, and beside them, the long cries of fearsome flying beasts mixed in.

It felt exactly like her husband’s angry voice, making her shrink instinctively.

“Anyway… I wonder if Father received my letter.”

By now the letter should have arrived long ago, yet it was too quiet—far too quiet. Like something big was about to happen at any moment.

With an uneasy heart, she only traced her fingers over the teacup in her hand. The bright red tea made her heart stir even more.
