Chapter 6.5

Since all weddings took place at the temple, there was no need to look for a separate venue.

However, since Ellie wanted the ceremony before it got too cold, a perfectly suitable date became available.

“…You didn’t pull any strings, did you?”

“Haha.”

When Ellie asked suspiciously, Feroza just laughed.

Anyway, the wedding venue was settled, and now it was time to decide on the honeymoon destination.

But there was one problem.

“A honeymoon?”

“Yes! Last time, we planned to travel to the southern coast, but we couldn’t go. How about going there this time?”

After the kidnapping incident, there had been no time for a trip due to healing and wedding preparations.

So, after much thought, Ellie suggested going there for their honeymoon.

But instead of agreeing, Feroza called her name.

“Um, Ellie.”

“Yes?”

Feroza had a strange expression.

When Ellie tilted her head, he spoke.

“I’ve never heard of a honeymoon before.”

“…What? Never?”

“Yes. There’s no such thing in our Empire. Where did you hear about it? The word ‘honeymoon’?”

He tilted his head.

No way. I had just assumed it was a given!

Her pupils shook as if in an earthquake.

“Uh, um, well… from a book! I read about it in a book explaining other countries’ cultures, and it mentioned honeymoons.”

“Is there such a book?”

“There was! Feroza, you know so much, so I thought you’d know about honeymoons too.”

Ellie hurried to explain.

Thinking of things as if she were still in Korea had caused this slip-up.

Before he could ask more, she spoke up first.

“Anyway, Feroza, after reading that book, I thought a honeymoon was a must. It’s essential for newlyweds.”

“…Is that so?”

“Of course! You go on a trip, relax, eat delicious food, and go on lots of dates.”

Ellie couldn’t give up on the honeymoon.

It had always been her dream to go on a honeymoon with her future husband.

After a moment’s thought, Feroza nodded.

“Let’s do that, then.”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go to the place you mentioned earlier. I’m fine with anywhere.”

“Thank you, Feroza.”

Ellie cupped his face and kissed him here and there.

But then, Feroza suddenly lifted her up and laid her down on the desk.

“Ah, wait, Feroza!”

She was currently in Feroza’s office, and the desk was covered with documents.

“We haven’t even finished planning the trip yet!”

“We can do that later.”

Feroza kissed her.

The way he moved his tongue was somehow urgent.

“Mm…”

Ellie didn’t know why he was in such a hurry.

When he lifted her legs, her dress rode up, exposing her thighs.

She could feel him, already hard, pressing against her underwear.

Startled by his quick reaction, Ellie widened her eyes and gently pushed Feroza’s shoulder.

“Ellie, what’s wrong?”

When she forcibly pulled her lips away, Feroza groaned.

Ellie, still dazed, said to him.

“No, but… why are you in such a rush today? You’re not usually like this.”

“We haven’t been able to lately.”

Feroza lowered his head and bit down on her neck.

“Ah…!”

He bit and sucked several times, then lifted his head, looking satisfied.

It was true they hadn’t been together recently.

They’d both been busy with wedding preparations.

“Still, even so…”

“Ellie, as I’ve said many times, I’m a hopelessly lovesick dog. A lovesick dog in heat.”

Ellie blinked blankly at his words.

“A lovesick dog… Why do you say that about yourself?”

“It’s because it’s true.”

Feroza shrugged his shoulders.

Then, in a hurry, he lowered his head and swallowed her lips again.

The stormy kisses left Ellie barely able to keep up.

Feroza, who was stroking her exposed thighs, pushed her underwear aside and caressed her entrance.

“Ah, hng…”

Ellie was also excited, so just his touch made her quickly wet.

Soon, his fingers slipped inside.

As he rubbed the inside with his fingers, her hips twitched just from that.

“Ellie, you take my fingers so well now.”

“Ugh…”

When she was loosened up enough, Feroza positioned himself between her legs.

At some point, his fully hardened member appeared in her view.

He rubbed the tip at her entrance, then slowly pushed it in.

“Haa, ah, ugh…”

The large, heavy thing pressing in took her breath away.

With her mouth slightly open and gasping, she heard Feroza’s voice by her ear.

“You take me so well… But you’re still so tight.”

He finally pushed all the way in, then began to move his hips.

“Ah, hng, ahh, ah!”

Feroza reached up and untied the neatly tied ribbon on her chest.

As the ribbon loosened, her clothes slackened, and he pulled them down.

With Feroza’s movements, she could feel her chest shaking.

He grabbed the inside of her thighs and pulled her closer.

“Hngh…!”

Thanks to that, he went even deeper, and her hips arched.

“Ha, d*mn, Ellie… You squeeze me every time I move.”

“Ah, don’t… say things… like that… Ah!”

It was hard to get even one sentence out.

“Every time I see you, I feel like I’m going to lose control. I think I could stay inside you all day.”

“Ah, aah, ugh, haa…!”

“Should we try it, Ellie? Hm?”

She shook her head back and forth.

Even as a joke, if she agreed, Feroza would really do it.

When she turned her face to the side, he licked her ear wetly.

It was a sensitive spot, making her shiver and break out in goosebumps.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

“Mm!”

Startled, Ellie covered her mouth and looked at Feroza.

He also looked a bit flustered.

“Grand Duke, may I come in? There’s something I need to discuss.”

It was the butler’s voice, whom they had briefly seen earlier.

Ellie thought Feroza would send him away, saying they’d talk later.

But what he did was completely different.

“What is it?”

He answered calmly, pulling back and then thrusting in hard.

“Mm…!”

A muffled m*an escaped from under her palm.

Through her hazy mind, she heard the butler’s voice.

“It’s just that I have some additional documents to give you.”

Apparently unaware of what was happening inside, the butler’s voice remained unchanged.

Her heart pounded anxiously, and it felt as if the office door would open at any moment.

But Feroza didn’t stop moving.

He frowned slightly and spoke.

“Come back… later.”

“Understood.”

A few seconds later, Feroza lowered her hand and said,

“Ellie, he’s gone.”

“Ugh, hng, ahh, ah…!”

“You squeezed so tightly just now, I almost lost control.”

His movements grew faster and faster.

Feroza thr*st deep inside, reaching her innermost place, and her mind went blank.

“Haa, ha…”

After staying inside her for a few seconds, he slowly withdrew.

Ellie caught her breath and glared at Feroza.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Ellie?”

“Are you really a pervert?”

“It’s more surprising that you’re only realizing it now.”

While helping her clean up, Feroza whispered softly.

“I didn’t know you had such secret tastes, Ellie.”

“S-secret tastes?”

“When the butler spoke from outside… you seemed to like it when I kept moving.”

“When did I ever!”

When Ellie shouted, he tilted his head.

“But you squeezed me so tightly. I almost couldn’t hold back.”

She bit her lip and turned her head away.

After finishing tidying up and getting down from the desk, Feroza hugged her tightly.

“I love you, Ellie.”

“…You’re only saying that because you teased me and think I’ll get upset, right?”

“I’m saying it because I really love you. Don’t you feel the same, Ellie?”

Ellie glared at him, then answered.

“…I love you, too.”

But she couldn’t help her voice growing small from embarrassment.

Feroza burst out laughing, then cupped her face and left a deep kiss.

* * *

In the midst of all the hectic preparations, the wedding day arrived before she knew it.

“Miss, you must be very nervous.”

“…Honestly, it doesn’t really feel real.”

To think that from tomorrow, she’d be a married woman.

Ellie lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

“Don’t think about anything tonight and get some sleep.”

“Mm…”

“I’ll come wake you up tomorrow, Miss.”

Roni bowed her head and left the room.

Perhaps wanting Ellie to sleep well, Roni had carefully drawn the curtains, making the room pitch dark.

‘Is Feroza asleep by now?’

Suddenly, Ellie imagined Feroza in a tuxedo.

He had said it didn’t matter what he wore as long as she looked pretty, but Ellie insisted that wouldn’t do.

So, they went together to choose a tuxedo, and bought one with a black base and white accents.

‘He looked so handsome in that tuxedo.’

Thinking of that made her smile.

It was time to stop thinking and really get some sleep.

But she was so nervous that she tossed and turned for a while before finally falling asleep.

Suddenly, she was startled awake by someone shaking her.

“Ah!”

“Oh my, Miss! Are you alright?”

As Ellie suddenly sat up, Roni, who was waking her, looked at her with concern.

“Do you want to sleep a bit more? There’s still some time left.”

“No… I’m fine.”

She was so startled that she was now fully awake.

Maybe because she’d slept so tensely, even Roni’s gentle shake had startled her too much.

“We’ll do your makeup here, and you’ll change into your wedding dress in the waiting room at the temple. The dress is already there.”

“Yes, I heard.”

“Let’s start with a bath, Miss.”

Roni said she could sleep if she was tired, but Ellie shook her head.

Still, soaking in hot water helped her relax.

After washing up and getting a massage, she felt refreshed.

“Whew…”

“Are you feeling better?”

“Hmm?”

When Ellie tilted her head, Roni spoke gently.

“You seemed really sensitive when you woke up earlier.”

“Ah…”

Ellie nodded with an awkward smile.

“Yes, I’m fine now.”

“That’s a relief, Miss. Please have a seat.”

Roni applied and removed a facial mask three times.

Only after Ellie’s face became smooth as a peeled egg did Roni put the mask away.

“Isn’t it too shiny?”

“It needs to be like this for the makeup to look good.”

She changed into a light dress for going out and started getting her makeup done.
