She arrived at the library located at the end of the same floor.

There was a sofa she liked under the window where light came in well.

When she opened the library door, the smell of old paper calmly settled her mind.

Ellin carefully opened the letter with a joyful heart.

<Your Grace the Duchess.

Are you enjoying your time in Castia?

It’s like a steamer here, but I imagine the weather there is perfect for taking a walk and stopping at a café for a cup of tea.

I miss the times when I could sit with Your Grace and chat endlessly.

Actually, I have some surprising news, which is why I hastily picked up my pen.

It’s that…….

Your Grace might get to see a pretty niece or nephew! I’m finally pregnant! My husband may be inadequate, but he does things right once in a while.

‘What! Charlotte is having a baby?’

Ellin was so surprised when she read that sentence that she momentarily stopped reading.

She knew better than anyone how much her friend had wanted a baby.

She brought the letter closer, opening her eyes wide.

By the way! I received a letter from my mother in the capital yesterday, and I was really surprised.

Have you heard the news about Janice?

Well, while her husband was in prison, she apparently ran away with a young man she fell for!

Some novelist or opera writer, they say.

Many people witnessed them together, and he apparently looks like a handsome con man.

I don’t know who the man is, but she certainly found her match in life. Birds of a feather flock together, they say.

I laughed for a long time when I heard that news.

Anyway, I heard they fled abroad in the middle of the night, and now Royce is running around trying to catch them both, saying he’ll k*ll them.

I thought Royce would rot in prison forever, but it seems the Creighton family spent money on their son.

They say he’s been a bit strange since he got out of prison.

Please stay far away from that man just in case. I’m scared he might try to harm you.

I’m marking X’s on my calendar every day, just waiting for the day I can return home.

Why is time moving so slowly?

When I return, I plan to head straight to the Duke’s villa in Castia.

I need to see with my own eyes if the villa is as magnificent as the rumors say.

Don’t even think about returning to the capital until then.

Reading your letter, I’m relieved to see you’re doing well there.

I hear Eddie has become healthy like other young men. Is he ready to meet a pretty bride and start a family soon?

I’m dying to talk to someone here; my mouth is itching.

I want to meet quickly and share all our unfinished stories all night long.

With love to my dear friend Ellin.

From Charlotte, who misses you terribly.>

A smile had already formed on Ellin’s lips as she read the letter.

It felt like Charlotte was chattering right next to her, not across the sea.

“What’s so amusing? Did you receive a love letter from some guy?”

Ellin was startled by the sudden voice and turned toward the door.

‘Ah, I forgot.’

Ellin remembered she had planned to go horseback riding to the Sorel River with the Duke, Tania, and Eddie this afternoon.

She had completely forgotten about that plan, too happy about Charlotte’s letter.

The Duke must have been looking for her, as he was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, watching her.

He looked so much like a painting that she wished she had a brush and canvas to capture that image right away.

Though he was her husband, she wondered how a person could be so handsome that her heart raced every time she saw him.

Each morning when she opened her eyes and saw him sleeping next to her with his arm around her waist, she still wondered if it was a dream.

“I received a letter from Charlotte.”

He approached the long sofa where Ellin was sitting.

Sweet spring breeze seeped through the open window, making the thin lace curtains flutter.

“Hmm.”

He sat down next to his wife as if he understood why she was in a good mood, elegantly crossing his legs.

Ellin comfortably rested her face on his shoulder and opened the letter again.

“I think I’m going to have a niece or nephew. Charlotte gave me good news. I wish Charlotte would return soon.”

“It’s nice to have a niece. But haven’t you thought about giving Eddie a real niece or nephew?”

He grinned and gently brushed his lips against Ellin’s cheek.

“A real niece or nephew…?”

Instead of answering, Dominic lightly licked and pressed against the delicate skin inside Ellin’s neck.

Her head tilted back at the sensual feeling.

“Yes. I’d like to see a baby that resembles you.”

His lips, which had been nuzzling her, licked her earlobe and whispered in her ear.

Ellin squinted her eyes at the ticklish sensation, and Dominic softly kissed her eyelids.

As his kisses gradually moved to her eyelashes, cheeks, and lips, heat blossomed in her body too.

His manhood, which responded just from smelling his wife’s skin, quickly grew in size at his waistband.

Seeing her dress buttons already half undone, Ellin smiled seductively and took his hand.

“Here?”

Instead of answering, Dominic bit and sucked her br*ast, leaving red marks on her skin.

“Mmm.”

A pleasurable m*an escaped from Ellin.

The library, filled with ancient books, had many portraits of scholars from the Linderto family hanging on the walls.

Ellin narrowed her eyes and glared at the wall.

She felt embarrassed doing such things in broad daylight while they seemed to be watching with wide-open eyes.

“Is it a bit awkward?”

Dominic slowly raised his head from Ellin’s chest as if it had been a joke.

The sight of him licking his lower lip, glistening with saliva, looked extremely decadent and s*xy.

Imagining that red tongue greedily licking and probing her intimate parts made her lower abdomen twitch and become moist.

Dominic smiled, pulling up his lips like a villain, as if he knew exactly what kind of naughty thoughts his wife was having with that innocent face.

Ellin finally hurriedly pulled his arm.

“I don’t think it matters, does it?”

Ellin lightly tugged at the front of her husband’s shirt with both hands and cutely whispered in his ear.

“Those people probably did worse things than this. With those strict faces.”

She smiled and planted a kiss on her husband’s strong jaw, then gently bit his lower lip with her teeth.

She pressed her lower body subtly against his already fully aroused center.

“You, you temptress!”

Dominic whispered in her ear with a strained voice, as if struggling to hold back.

Ellin was soon caught in his arms and laid completely on the sofa.

The man who had been looking at his wife lovingly, as if he would melt just moments ago, now looked down at her with fiery eyes full of l*st.

Ellin, with very expectant eyes, unbuckled her husband’s pants herself.

She playfully fondled his c*ck, which was too large to hold in one hand, stroking it from bottom to top.

She looked at his manhood with curiosity, still finding it unbelievable that something so large and long had entered her body.

Dominic, as if he couldn’t hold back any longer, grabbed her thighs and spread them wide.

When he lowered his body deeply, his hard, hot pillar pushed into her.

Even though he was already deep inside, he placed one of her legs on his shoulder and thr*st even deeper.

“Ahh!”

His waist moved faster and faster under her raised leg.

Like hot lava bubbling up from a deep spring, Ellin’s insides also boiled over.

The explicit sound of sweaty skin slapping against each other was clearly audible.

When the pleasure that had been spreading like ripples reached its cl*max, Ellin tightly closed her eyes.

Just as m*ans were about to escape through her lips, Dominic covered her mouth.

Shh.

He whispered in her ear, and immediately both their eyes turned toward the door.

Thump thump.

The sound of someone walking in the corridor outside could be heard.

Even at that moment, Dominic continued to thr*st his hips up, driving into her forcefully.

“Mmph.”

Her m*an was muffled in his hand.

The shallow pleasure that started from the inside of her thighs grew larger and larger before exploding all at once.

Moisture gathered in Ellin’s eyes as she bit her lips to avoid making noise.

Dominic removed his hand from her mouth and devoured her red, swollen lips with his own.

He continued to thr*st slowly, watching his wife melt beneath him.

After the big wave passed, gentle ripples of pleasure approached her again.

The ducal couple’s sweet lovemaking, which began on the small sofa, continued for a long time.

While the dignified library was filled with indecorous cries and hot air, the garden outside was utterly peaceful.

The fountain’s water streams poured down, containing rainbow colors, and the blooming spring flowers released their fragrance in the breeze.

Two people sat motionless on horses in that vast garden.

They were Tania, with her hair tied up in a ponytail, and Eddie, whose skin had become healthily tanned.

“He said he was going to look for my sister, but why aren’t they coming out?”

Tania looked up at the mansion curiously at Eddie’s complaint.

The ducal couple, who were supposed to go to the Sorel River together, were nowhere to be seen.

They must be somewhere inside those many windows.

Should she call out loudly?

After briefly considering and then giving up, she said to Eddie.

“Let’s just leave first. The Duke must have suddenly become busy. They’ll follow later.”

The two, who had been staring endlessly at the entrance, finally turned their horses and began galloping out of the villa.

While riding, Tania looked back at the mansion once more.

She didn’t tell Eddie that one of the curtains in the windows she had been carefully watching had been hastily closed.

She already knew that room was the library, and there was a very comfortable sofa under the window.

What could that mean? She smiled mischievously as she thought about it.

‘Anytime, anywhere. They’re really enjoying themselves.’

She chuckled enviously and galloped vigorously toward the Sorel River, following Eddie who was ahead.

The End.
