Chapter 11

When they left the alley and entered the main street, Cal took Ellie’s hand. Ellie looked up, “Hm?” and Cal answered so nonchalantly.

“It’s cold.”

“Pfft. What’s that supposed to mean?”

To hear someone say it’s cold in the South—how cute. The big man, always acting adorable, was clearly making excuses, but Ellie didn’t shake him off and quietly offered her hand.

“Ellie, I’ll walk you home.”

“Uh… You don’t really need to do that.”

“It’s late. A gentleman must escort a lady at night.”

Cal kissed the back of Ellie’s hand. For a moment, Ellie wondered if he was a noble. She almost asked, but stopped herself. Somehow, it felt wrong to ask. Noble or not, it didn’t matter. It’s not as if they needed to know such things about each other.

Ellie and Cal walked slowly through the night, hand in hand. The gentle southern weather wasn’t cold even at night, making it perfect for walking. They didn’t talk much, but it was a comfortable time.

When they arrived in front of Ellie’s apartment, they finally let go of each other’s hands.

“Thank you for walking me home.”

“I had a great time, Ellie. Thank you for having dinner with me.”

“Yes, see you tomorrow then.”

Ellie said goodbye and turned away. Just as she took a step, Cal grabbed her wrist.

“Ellie.”

Ellie turned around, wondering what was up, and looked up at him. Cal wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek.

“Good night.”

The words whispered by her ear were so sweet.

After that, she wasn’t sure how she got inside. Click, closing the door, she stood still for a moment, then suddenly went to the window. Outside, under a streetlamp, Cal was still there, looking her way.

When their eyes met, Ellie quickly hid herself and leaned against the wall, thinking, Wow, I might be in trouble… Her heart was pounding.

After that, things between Ellie and Cal became a bit delicate. Cal often asked her out for dinner after work, and sometimes made excuses to spend time together on weekends. And their meetings at Nyx grew less frequent, now about once a week.

Ellie and Cal, after spending another night together at Nyx, had an atmosphere like lovers. Usually, after their passionate encounters, Ellie would be so exhausted she’d pass out, but tonight she was surprisingly alert.

In the languid mood after intense lovemaking, Cal clung to Ellie’s body, enjoying aftercare. He brushed back her sweaty hair and kissed her temple, and lately, he liked to knead Ellie’s hips as she lay beside him.

Ellie liked to hug Cal’s thick upper arms and kiss his chest. After leaving bright red marks on his flawless chest, she felt oddly proud.

“Cal, what kind of exercise do you do?”

For someone who seemed like a bookish young man, Cal’s chest muscles were impressively firm. His abs were visible, not overly muscular but nicely defined. Broad shoulders and sturdy thighs—his real charm was revealed only when he undressed.

Ellie sat up and pressed down on Cal’s torso, climbing on top of him.

“Mm, Ellie…”

“Wow.”

Looking down from above, the view was even better. Ellie traced her hand along Cal’s chest and abs, caressing him. With her movements, Cal’s hands gripping her hips tightened and relaxed in turn.

“Ellie, do you like it?”

“Yes. You look great. You’re amazing, Cal.”

Cal couldn’t take his eyes off her. Ellie’s plump chest, bare as she climbed on top, swayed with her movements. Her flushed, prominent n*pples teased him.

“…Ellie, I want to s*ck.”

Cal stared hungrily at her chest. He felt he could drink in her sweetness if he put them in his mouth.

“Wait. It’s my turn now.”

Ellie slid her fingers from Cal’s shoulder down his chest, then slowly lowered herself. She traced his abs, then kissed his n*pple. Licking and sucking his small, bean-like n*pple, she heard Cal’s m*an from above.

“Haa…”

Usually on the receiving end of Cal’s caresses, Ellie now understood why he liked to tease her chest so much. Cal, who made sounds whether she sucked or licked, looked adorable.

“Ellie, hng…”

While Ellie clung to Cal’s chest, Cal played with her hips. He kneaded her plump hips, then slipped his fingers between them, finding her moist flesh. Surprised, Ellie bit down on Cal’s chest.

“Ah!”

Ellie buried her face in Cal’s chest and trembled. Cal had spread her wet flesh and plunged two fingers deep inside. With his fingers stirring her insides, Ellie could only m*an.

“Hng, mm!”

His fingers parted her soft, loosened flesh without mercy. As he stirred inside, hot, viscous liquid spilled out.

“Hii…!”

It was Cal’s release from earlier, inside Ellie. The strange feeling she never got used to made Ellie twist her waist, but held tightly by Cal, she couldn’t escape.

Squish, squish—Cal slid two more fingers inside her messy, slick entrance. The intense pressure made Ellie raise her trembling legs and arch her back.

“Ellie, please put it in, hmm?”

Even as he teased her lower body, Cal waited for Ellie’s permission. When he withdrew his fingers, Ellie managed to sit up straight, and beneath her was Cal’s hard, swollen shaft, twitching.

“Ellie? Please?”

“Hng, wai, t…”

Ellie slowly lifted her thighs. As space opened, Cal’s shaft stood upright, waiting. Ellie took it in both hands and guided it herself.

The thick tip plunged between her wet flesh, making Ellie tremble. Even though it was the same shaft, it felt so different when she tried to take it herself compared to when Cal entered her.

“Ah, hng, it’s too big!”

“Hoo, but you can take it, right?”

Ellie’s complaint only fueled Cal’s desire, making his shaft twitch even harder as she blinked at him.
