Chapter 31 

Her hot tongue, startled and thrashing like a fish out of water, was seized and entangled by his. Her heart raced as if it would leap out of her chest. The way he lightly licked upward with the tip of his tongue and skillfully pushed his breath into her was cruelly teasing.

At the fierce kiss, the hand that had tried to shove at his shoulder was caught by him and pinned into the sheet. Warm flesh pressed in on her without giving her any room to breathe.

It was a rough kiss, so rough it was hard to believe it was from the man who had only ever given short kisses, and only in the early days of their marriage.

“Mmgh. Carlisle.”

“Focus. Yvonne. This isn’t just biting and sucking for pleasure, it’s about making an heir.”

When he sucked her tongue so hard that the root of it ached, tears welled at the corners of her eyes. At her reddened eyes and pitiful whimpering, his already tense lower body tightened uncomfortably against the front of his clothes.

“In that sense, I’ll have to make you cut off all the bastards you’ve been seeing this time. I have no intention of sharing the body that will bear my child with another man.”

As he continued kissing her, the hand that had been feeling down over her shoulder abruptly tore open the blouse wrapped around her body in one motion. Pop, with the sound of a button falling, flawlessly pale skin was revealed through the loosely parted fabric.

“Ah…!”

Yvonne flinched at the cool air touching her skin and used the gap to gasp for breath. The man’s slowly lowered gaze stabbed into her br*asts, white as milk. Her full br*asts, forming graceful curves around her slender waist, rose and fell with her breathing, swaying softly.

At the indecently alluring figure, Carlisle’s Adam’s apple shifted faintly. As he swept up one rounded br*ast with one hand and touched the center with his index finger, she flinched and let out a strange little m*an.

“Mm, don’t touch me there.”

“To be honest, hearing you were going to that bastard left me in a pretty foul mood.”

Yvonne, who had never imagined Carlisle of all people would voice such frank feelings, was seized with bewilderment. Since he had a woman he cared for so dearly, she could not understand how he could try to take her merely because of paperwork.

“You don’t even love me, and now you’re acting jealous when it doesn’t suit you?”

“Jealous? You’re the one who did something pathetic and crawled in between my legs. Stop pretending you don’t know, when you even conspired with that family-loving Earl and tied me down.”

Carlisle, who had been planting kisses on her collarbone, moved his lips without hesitation and trailed down the line of her neck, softly sucking at the tender flesh. Each time he pressed his lips to her while crushing her br*ast in his hand, Yvonne wrinkled the bridge of her nose as if trying to hold back her m*ans.

“If I let you off once, you should have stayed quietly buried there.”

He had even let it pass when she brought up a child that did not exist yet and tried to frame him as a violent husband over a miscarriage. He had not liked her going into Lisian House either, but he had left it alone for the time being. Then she should have stopped there.

With just the time wasted on unnecessary matters, Carlisle had already suffered quite a loss.

“So in the end, you brought me here just to hold me while humiliating me.”

“Yvonne, we are husband and wife. Not just in this room, but anywhere in this mansion, I have the right to hold you.”

“Even if we are clearly husband and wife…. Mmph.”

Before she could respond further, a thick forearm wrapped around Yvonne’s slender waist. His sharp nose naturally dug into the lightly lifted valley of her br*asts. Every time he inhaled in that position, his warm breath clung to her skin.

The breath brushing shallowly over her smooth skin tickled.

Carlisle licked over her *reola with his long tongue and kneaded her br*ast with just enough force in his hand. The tongue that moved to the tip of her n*pple writhed, and then the n*pple, sweetly flushed atop her pale flesh, was drawn straight into his mouth.

“Haht-!”

At the dizzying stimulation, Yvonne’s shoulders trembled. His moist lips were relentless. As the hot tongue rolled her n*pple thoroughly, a shiver ran through her.

“As I said, if I was truly the one who plotted this, then there’s no way I would have done it carelessly. You, of all people, should know that much, considering you spent every night in this bed doing that. If that’s what you want, I can do it that way.”

Though the corners of his mouth seemed to lift now and then, Carlisle’s eyes remained cold and sharp the entire time.

As if he was still dissatisfied with this situation.

“I don’t know what your intention is in doing this…. Haah…. There’s no way you truly want an heir born from my body.”

“Ha… intention?”

For an instant, the eyes of the man who had looked relaxed seemed as though he were forcibly suppressing something.

“Don’t speak arrogantly as if you know everything about me. Rather than that, you should start worrying about yourself. Even if the Earl empties out his entire fortune just to save you, he’ll never break the stubbornness of a king so consumed by suspicion that he shudders at the very word revolution. It means you have no way out except me.”

His self-assured voice was like the sharpened edge of a blade.

“Haah. Mm, ngh……!”

He bit down hard on the swollen bud. When he deliberately grazed the n*pple lightly with the tip of his tongue, her slender body trembled.

“Haah, what if I don’t conceive? I can’t just keep hoping it happens forever.”

“One year. When the new weapon is completed, I may consider the situation then.”

The voice that whispered while nibbling her earlobe sounded as sweet as a devil’s temptation.

One year.

By then, even if materials were hard to obtain, the delayed construction would be nearing completion. And if Carlisle helped, it could be done faster and more easily. By the time it was finished, her younger siblings would be safe, and she herself would no longer be here.

Just then, the hand stroking her thigh slid inward and touched her underwear.

“Mm….”

As he slowly caressed over the thin fabric and rubbed with his fingers, her cheeks flared red. Yvonne drew in a breath at the sensation of the fingertips that had been teasing her with the tip of his thumb now pressing inward.

Her heart lurched, but even more than that, it felt as if his eyes, which had seemed truly displeased for some time now, were piercing her whole body.

The lips that had been toying with her br*ast immediately rose to Yvonne’s face. As their hot, soft lips met, his heavy weight pressed down on all her limbs. The deeper he thr*st in his tongue and stirred through her mouth, the more strength she could feel in his firm, sinewed arms.

“Mmph…. A little…. slower.”

Spread out on the soft bed, Yvonne panted at the kiss pressing through her soft lips and clutched at his forearm.

Cruelly enough, every time his lips and hands stroked her body, her body heated up. Her chest rose and fell roughly with her quick breaths, and her lower belly tightened.

Even through the long, drawn-out kiss, Carlisle did not waste even a few seconds. When he pressed firmly against the hollow place, her soaked underwear was pushed inward into the opening, and slick moisture stained it heavily.

“This place is more honest than your mouth….”

When the flowing wetness dampened his fingertips, Carlisle’s mouth twisted crookedly.

“Haah, don’t touch there, mm…!”

The damp fabric soaked through with moisture was pulled aside in an instant. He pressed his callused palm, hardened by training, firmly against her slick s*x and applied gentle pressure, making her body twitch. Carlisle watched her eyes gradually loosening with his cool gaze.

“You acted awfully proud, but your body is honest.”

He said, holding up his hand drenched in her moisture. Soon after, Carlisle overlapped his hand over Yvonne’s hand gripping the sheet and brought it to her s*x.

“Mmgh….”

With her hand held, Yvonne trembled. The notably wet private place was forcibly made to touch her fingertips. She had felt herself wet below, but never to this extent.

Carlisle raised a hand to his collar and undid the buttons of the wine-colored shirt he was wearing. Even the act of undressing carried an overbearing and sensual air. It was a presence felt from Carlisle alone.

Through the opened shirt, his tightly built chest and abdominal muscles could be seen. The firm muscles usually hidden beneath his suit, and his powerful shoulders developed through long training as well. There was not an ounce of excess on his balanced frame.

Her admiration for his sturdy physique lasted only a moment before, beneath his short black hair, dark ash-gray eyes deep enough to pierce even the abyss looked down at her arrogantly.

The gaze that had felt emotionless before was now piercing into her whole body so sharply it stung. Just meeting those gray eyes filled with clear intent made her body tremble. What swirled in those seemingly calm eyes at a glance was deep desire.

“Since the deal has been struck, we should see it through to the end.”
