#Side Story 10

—

Today, her husband had taken the child on horseback to the royal palace in the morning, allowing her to meet Charlotte and enjoy a leisurely tea time after a long while.

The child had so much energy that even playing with him briefly could drain all her strength, yet he had been playing with him until now?

Moreover, this time after dinner and before bedtime was when he usually concentrated on business planning in his study.

“The young master is having such a good time that his laughter echoes down the corridor outside the study.”

Jeffrey let out a quiet “ho ho” laugh as he said this.

Jeffrey normally showed little emotion, often confusing the servants.

Strangely, he had changed the most since the baby’s cries were first heard in the mansion.

More smiles, more worries, sometimes even tears in his eyes.

The servants had even begun teasing him.

It was amazing how the birth of one child could change not only the parents but even those around them.

Jeffrey spoke to Ellin with gentle eyes.

He told her not to worry about the young master and to enjoy her time comfortably.

“Is that so?”

Ellin tightened her robe and sat in the chair at the table, as if persuaded by his words.

“If the Duke is playing with him so enthusiastically…”

Ellin brought the tea Jeffrey had prepared to the tip of her nose, closed her eyes gently, and savored the aroma.

A moment later, her eyes snapped open, feeling something was definitely strange.

At that moment, a battle between father and son was taking place in the study.

Ian laughed breathlessly as he tried with all his might to climb onto Dominic’s shoulders.

Dominic grabbed Ian and pulled him away, preventing the child’s climbing attempt.

“Kiyaaaa!”

“Urgh!”

“I win! I win!”

“No, not yet.”

The rough play between the large man and the small man had been going on for nearly an hour.

Dominic’s forehead was beaded with sweat from playing with the little villain who attacked without a moment’s rest.

Even he, who prided himself on his stamina, now wanted to just collapse on the floor, but the child was overflowing with energy as if he had just begun his attack.

His white, chubby face with its fine down was adorably flushed.

Red hair like his mother’s and handsome features like his father’s.

He was clearly the joint creation of the ducal couple to anyone who saw him.

“I surrender. I surrender.”

Dominic raised both hands as if defeated.

The child, finally perched on his enemy’s shoulders, held his father’s head with both hands and sat triumphantly.

Just then, knock knock, someone opened the door slightly and entered.

The eyes of the three people met in an instant.

For Dominic, it was an angel of salvation; for Higgins, who opened the door, it was a disaster.

In a flash, a new enemy had invaded Ian’s territory.

“Oh my, I’m sorry.”

Higgins tried to quickly close the door and escape, but Dominic was faster.

“Higgins!”

The door opened again, and Higgins entered as if resigned.

“Yes. You called for me.”

The moment he entered, the little villain began charging toward his new target.

Higgins was the second easiest enemy in this mansion after Dad, in Ian’s opinion.

He wouldn’t let him escape.

Dominic rose from his seat staggering, finally feeling relieved.

He unbuttoned his sweat-soaked shirt and rolled up his sleeves.

His black hair was still disheveled.

“I’ll give you time off, so drain all of Ian’s energy today. Until he doesn’t have the strength to wake up until lunch tomorrow. Ian needs to sleep very soundly tonight.”

Dominic swept back his disheveled hair as he left the study, leaving the aftermath to Higgins.

Though his energy was drained, the blood in his body seemed to flow faster and hotter, overflowing with energy.

He straightened his unbuttoned shirt after checking his reflection in a mirror-like frame.

‘Today is my chance.’

Though somewhat tired from taking Ian to the royal palace in the morning and playing with him all evening, he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

For a long time, he had lost his wife to his son.

Whenever he tried to spend a passionate evening alone with his wife, Ian would stick to her, never giving him a chance to approach.

Even after the nanny took Ian away to put him to bed, Ellin gave Dominic no opportunity to be close.

She would fall into a deep sleep from exhaustion the moment she lay on the bed.

‘Today is the day.’

His sinister(?) smile reflected in the frame as he anticipated a passionate night alone with his wife.

Just then, he heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

The sound of a long gown rustling against the stairs told him it was definitely Ellin.

Without seeing her, he could recognize his wife’s movements.

Dominic waited playfully behind a pillar for Ellin to reach the top of the stairs.

His face, unable to hide his anticipation, looked exactly like his son’s when hiding.

Unaware, Ellin quickened her steps up the stairs, looking at the quiet corridor.

No matter how much Dad played with him, it seemed strange that Ian still hadn’t come looking for her.

Though she had enjoyed rare time alone in her atelier, she didn’t feel completely at ease.

She needed to see for herself.

Just as she reached the last step, someone suddenly appeared and grabbed her arm.

“Ah!”

When Ellin startled, strong arms embraced her from behind, and a voice whispered in her ear.

“Shh.”

“Honey?”

Ellin wondered why he was acting this way so suddenly.

Was he playing hide-and-seek with Ian in the corridor?

But his kisses, relentlessly showered on her nape, were too hot to be playful.

The sensual heat that bloomed from her nape spread throughout her body.

She didn’t even realize her lips had parted, letting out an unconscious m*an.

The situation—being suddenly pulled into strong arms—felt extremely stimulating.

With her body turned, she could fully feel his hard, heated body against her back.

Their bodies, pressed together, instinctively desired each other, but they were in a corridor where anyone might pass by.

It felt thrilling, yet her heart raced with fear of being caught.

“No, we can’t. Ian…… Haaa……”

When his large hand swept up from her lower abdomen to just below her br*asts, Ellin squirmed and twisted slightly.

Though saying no, shallow m*ans escaped her lips.

Her husband’s deep voice wrapped around her ear.

“It’s fine. He should be exhausted and knocked out by now.”

Ellin turned her head back as if asking what he meant.

Instead of answering, Dominic grabbed her chin facing him and overlapped their lips.

“If Higgins had been a little later, I would have been the one to collapse first.”

“So you mean……”

Realizing the reason behind making Ian tired enough to fall asleep, Ellin burst into laughter.

How much must he have wanted this moment to create an opportunity for them to be alone by making their child tired enough to sleep?

“I’ve held back too long. I can’t hold back anymore.”

Ellin’s heart melted seeing him desperately craving her love.

She laughed, wondering which was more childlike—the child who wouldn’t leave his mother every night, or the husband who schemed to take that place just once.

Who could ever imagine?

That Duke Dominic Linderto had such an adorable side.

Ellin’s heart swelled with the thought that only she knew this side of him.

Though that was lovely in its own way, she had little room for such thoughts right now.

Ellin couldn’t hold back anymore either.

Her whole body was heating up strangely.

The secret place between her legs grew moist, wanting to receive him.

“Aah……”

Though surprised and flustered when first pulled into her husband’s arms defenseless, pleasure now tingled wherever his touch landed.

The thin silk underwear beneath her gown failed to serve its purpose.

No, it was worse than not wearing anything.

His enlarged c*ck made its presence clearly known, rubbing and grinding between her buttocks.

Feeling that explicit sensation from behind, Ellin instinctively pressed her thighs together.

But only for a moment, as his hand slid down and gently stroked the small mound.

“Hmm.”

Dominic supported Ellin with his strong arm as she felt her legs might give way.

He caressed her vulnerable nape with hot lips, carefully sucking and biting her round shoulders.

Her earlobe was gently chewed inside his hot mouth, creating a tingling sensation that traveled down her spine as if another part of her was being devoured.

“Not here. What if someone sees us…… Let’s go to the bedroom…… Haaa. Honey.”

Though Dominic wanted to put himself inside her right then and there, he restrained himself and lifted her into his arms.

For Ellin, who worried about being seen, he entered the nearest room in the corridor.

Among the many rooms in the mansion, there were many he had never even opened.

This room he hastily entered seemed unfamiliar, likely one of the guest rooms.

The room, dimly lit by moonlight, looked clean and cozy, well-maintained by the servants.

Even without turning on the lights, they could see each other in the silvery-gray light from the window. Their skin seemed to shimmer smoothly.

After placing Ellin on the bed, he slowly undressed, his sturdy body beautifully reflecting the moonlight.

Ellin learned through him that a man’s n*ked body could be breathtakingly beautiful.

His well-defined muscles, flat lower abdomen, and firmly rounded buttocks were magnificent.

But seeing his *rect, throbbing c*ck pointing upward, Ellin unconsciously clutched the bedcover.

Dominic sat on the edge of the bed and carefully lifted Ellin onto his thighs. Her gown fell to the floor without a sound.

Embracing her from behind like earlier, he showered tiny bird kisses on her back.

He turned her face toward him with his hand, entwined their tongues, and his hand slid between her thighs.

Her center was already wet enough to receive him since the corridor.

The moist p*ssy and swollen cl*toris being poked and rubbed by the thick shaft increased sensitivity even without penetrating.

“Haaa. It feels so good.”

When Ellin, aroused, gripped his arm tightly, Dominic spread her thighs wide with his own.

His manhood plunged into her as if it had been waiting.

“Ugh!”

A dull pain momentarily clouded her mind, but the pain was soon forgotten.

Every time he bounced his thighs from below, his long, thick shaft filled her completely.

If she looked down, she would see his p*nis entering and leaving her explicitly, so Ellin couldn’t bring herself to lower her gaze and tilted her head toward the ceiling.

She closed her eyes and focused only on the sensation.

When her body rose and fell slowly, there was a languid, pleasant feeling; when his thrusting became fast and intense, a thrilling shiver seemed to pierce her body.

“I love you. Ellin.”

He whispered in Ellin’s ear the moment extreme pleasure approached them simultaneously.

Thus, the two felt perfectly united as one.

Though they had already reached cl*max once, he laid her on the bed as if they were just beginning.

He looked down lovingly at her. She was panting, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

He carefully removed the hair stuck to her face, caressed her cheek, and lowered his head to kiss his wife.

Lying on the bed bathed in dim moonlight, they gazed warmly into each other’s eyes.

Just being together like this seemed to wrap them in peace and happiness.

In the darkness illuminated by silvery-gray light, the couple’s night seemed like it would never end.
