Chapter 2.4

After a while, she felt a soft sensation on her back.

Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Feroza’s neat face right in front of her.

“You should sleep without your clothes on.”

“Yes…”

Taking that as a cue, she quickly rolled over, and Feroza’s laughter followed.

She soon felt him slowly unbuttoning her dress, one button at a time.

Meanwhile, his fingers tickled her lower back, making her squirm.

“Mm…”

“Arms up. Good girl.”

With the dress off, she was left in just her chemise.

She turned over and lay on her side, fidgeting.

She heard rustling, and a few minutes later, felt the bed dip behind her.

It seemed Feroza had lain down next to her.

Sure enough, he wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Ellie, are you sleeping?”

“…I’m about to.”

She mumbled, blinking slowly.

Feroza pressed kisses to the nape of her neck.

It tickled, so she tried to wriggle away, but he persistently followed her.

Before she knew it, Feroza’s hand slipped under her chemise.

His hand, creeping upward, very carefully cupped her chest.

“Ah, mm…”

His touch was gentle yet rough, making her body twitch.

Her body, made sensitive by alcohol, seemed to remember what had happened earlier, and her lower belly tightened.

“Ellie.”

“…Why?”

She answered breathlessly.

Something thick and firm pressed against her lower back.

Realizing what it was, her ears burned red.

“Your ears are so red.”

“And whose fault is that!”

“Oh? So you’re saying it’s my fault? Why?”

“Because, well…!”

Because that thing was poking my back!

But she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.

When she hesitated, Feroza moved even closer.

Now it was even more obvious than before.

He gently stroked her chest, then pinched her n*pple between his fingers.

“Ah…!”

Her body jolted instantly.

“Ellie, you’re wet here.”

His hand slipped into her underwear and stroked the damp spot with his fingers.

“That’s only because you keep touching me, Your Grace!”

Feeling wronged, she protested loudly.

She tried to move away, but Feroza held her waist firmly, making escape impossible.

Soon, his finger slipped inside.

“Ah!”

Perhaps because of the alcohol, she felt everything even more intensely.

Every wet sound, every movement of his thick finger inside her, was vivid.

If she moved forward, his finger went deeper; if she tried to pull back, she bumped into Feroza’s arousal, making her flustered.

“We just… did this earlier.”

“That was earlier. This is now.”

“You’re so mean.”

“I know, I’m mean.”

Another finger slid in.

Even just his fingers made her feel full, and her toes curled.

“Seriously…”

“Mm, ah, ah!”

Each time he pressed deeper, uncontrollable moans escaped her lips.

Her vision flashed, but suddenly his fingers withdrew.

Pleasure that had been building up stopped abruptly, and she looked back at him, panting.

“Why… why did you stop?”

“Are you disappointed?”

“…You started it.”

She mumbled softly, and Feroza paused, then kissed her.

His tongue slipped between her parted lips, swirling inside.

While she was distracted by the kiss, she suddenly felt him pressing inside her.

“Ah, mm…”

“Does it hurt?”

She shook her head.

Despite his gentle question, Feroza kept pushing in.

No matter how many times she experienced it, she never got used to the feeling, and her body trembled.

“I’m going to move.”

As soon as she nodded a couple of times, Feroza began to move.

He lifted her thigh, spreading her legs wider.

With his other hand, he squeezed her chest firmly.

When he pinched her n*pple, a jolt of pleasure shot through her, making her gasp.

“Ellie, can you feel it?”

“Mm, ha, ah!”

“You’re holding onto me so tightly inside.”

She could only shake her head.

Feroza’s thrusts grew stronger.

“Ha, damn… you’re so tight, Ellie.”

“Don’t… say things like that…”

“But every time I do, you squeeze me even tighter.”

He licked her ear.

The wet sounds were clear, and every movement felt almost indecent.

He kept hitting her most sensitive spot, making her mind go blank.

Her toes curled, and her back arched.

“Ah, wait…!”

She tried to push Feroza away, but he didn’t budge.

Finally, her mind exploded in fireworks as she reached her climax, everything turning white before her eyes.

Her body trembled, and she heard his voice in her ear.

“Ellie, did you finish?”

“Ha, mm…”

“I’m not done yet.”

With those words, Feroza pulled out and laid her flat on her back.

Before she could recover, he lifted her legs onto his shoulders and entered her again.

“Mm…”

Her body trembled reflexively.

He pushed in even deeper than before, making her breath quicken.

Then he began to move roughly.

Since she had just cl*maxed, her body quickly heated up again.

When she lifted her head, she met Feroza’s gaze.

With trembling arms, she reached up, wrapped them around his neck, and pulled him closer.

“Kiss… kiss me.”

“As you wish.”

Feroza immediately bent down and kissed her deeply.

Every moan that escaped her lips was swallowed by his kiss.

The sound of skin against skin was unmistakable.

Her vision flashed once more.

But this time, it felt a little different.

“Wait, wait, mm, ah!”

“Just a little more.”

She suddenly needed to use the bathroom.

The unfamiliar sensation made her shake her head, trying to escape from under him.

But Feroza didn’t let her go and pressed down even harder.

“Ha, damn, it feels so good.”

“Mm, ah, ah!”

She tried to hold back, but he went so deep it was impossible.

“Mm…”

“Ha, ah, mm!”

His arousal pulsed inside her, releasing warmth deep within.

At the same time, her back arched, and she felt liquid flowing from her.

Her body trembled uncontrollably.

Embarrassment was the least of her worries; her mind was completely dazed.

Feroza looked at her, then kissed her here and there.

“Mm… enough…”

“Alright.”

She shook her head and pushed him away.

Thankfully, Feroza nodded and finally withdrew from her.

She truly had no strength left.

She needed to clean up before sleeping, but her eyes kept fluttering shut.

Feroza lay down beside her, pulled her into his arms, and whispered softly.

“Sleep well, Ellie. I’ll take care of everything.”

“Mm…”

Hearing such a sweet suggestion made it even harder to resist sleep.

In the end, she nodded weakly and fell asleep as if fainting.

* * *

She slowly woke to the sound of birds chirping.

Instead of opening her eyes, she lay there blankly, then suddenly remembered something and her eyes flew open.

Turning her head slowly, she saw Feroza sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

“…Ha.”

They’d done it again.

They’d slept together again!

She’d come to cancel the marriage proposal, but instead, she’d just drunk and slept with him.

It was enough to drive anyone crazy.

Why did it always end up like this?

As she squirmed, he somehow sensed it and opened his eyes.

Startled, Ellie met Feroza’s eyes.

Soon, he smiled softly and spoke.

“Ellie, did you sleep well?”

“Ah, yes…”

She nodded with a dazed expression.

Remembering that she hadn’t cleaned up last night, she fumbled with her hands, and Feroza said,

“I took out all of the… from inside you and cleaned your body thoroughly. I even changed the bed sheets.”

“…I see.”

Thinking about the maid who must have been called in the middle of the night to change the sheets made her face flush.

Embarrassed, she turned over and lay with her back to Feroza.

But immediately, he pulled her into his arms and buried his face in her nape.

“You smell nice. Did you put on perfume?”

“No. I didn’t put anything on.”

She shook her head.

His breath on her neck tickled, making her shrink away.

Then, feeling something hard pressing against her backside, she froze.

“Wh-what is that…?”

“What do you think? It’s my….” 

He answered nonchalantly to her hesitant question.

She tried to sneak forward, but Feroza wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back against him.

“Don’t try to escape just because nothing’s happening.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

Feroza truly just held her quietly.

When it was clear he wasn’t planning to do anything, she finally relaxed.

After a while, Feroza released her and sat up.

“Aren’t you hungry? You should have breakfast.”

“I could eat at home…”

She was hungry, but not so much that she couldn’t wait.

Instead of answering, Feroza just smiled and pulled the bell cord.

Startled, Ellie pulled the covers up to her head.

Hearing his laughter, she pouted her lips in annoyance.

“Did you call for me?”

“Breakfast in the room, please.”

“Yes, understood. I’ll prepare it right away.”

The sound of footsteps faded, and soon the door closed.

Above her head, Feroza’s voice sounded.

“Ellie, they’re gone. You can come out now.”

She cautiously lowered the blanket.

Seeing his smiling face made her pout even more.

Feroza didn’t stop smiling as he brushed her hair aside.

“Why are you so grumpy again?”

“Stop laughing at me.”

“I can’t help it. You’re so cute, I keep wanting to smile.”

He shrugged.

She turned her head away and slowly sat up, clutching the blanket to cover her chest.

“Wait, Ellie. I’ll get you some new clothes.”

“Huh? New clothes?”

Feroza nodded and left the bed.

Unlike her, hiding under the blanket, he was completely n*ked.

Ellie stared blankly at his back as if hypnotized.
