Adeline twisted her body to turn over, but failed. Unable to move an inch, she barely lifted her head and called to him.

“K-Kailen, wait…!”

But he ignored her call like last night. After roughly kneading her buttocks, he now grabbed both sides with his hands and spread them apart.

Thanks to that, her l*bia minora that had been pressed together without a gap split to either side. The feeling of the cool dawn air touching the delicate membrane that had been hidden was so vivid she instinctively shook her head.

“W-wait, stop… hng…”

“How can I stop when I’ve already started?”

“Kailen, I, I have something to say… ah!”

Before Adeline could finish speaking, his member thr*st between her buttocks. The moment the gl*ns grazed her spot, a tingling sensation swept over her lower belly.

The moment her toes curled involuntarily, Kailen grabbed her pelvis and pulled her toward himself. Adeline, dragged helplessly, ended up with her buttocks raised high like a beast waiting to be mounted.

“You can say what you want to say after we’re done. Right?”

Gently biting her ear as he whispered, he licked her earlobe with his tongue. The goosebumps starting from her ear were unbearably ticklish, making Adeline’s shoulders tremble.

After distracting her like that, Kailen shook her whole body again, thrusting up into her v*lva.

“Ah, ah!”

His large hands crawled between the bed and her body, then grabbed her br*asts. Adeline couldn’t even control her body properly under the touch that kneaded roughly like squeezing out milk.

Despite those rough, coarse touches and thrusting, Adeline’s face and body all heated up bright red.

When panting breaths flowed from her mouth, she heard Kailen laugh softly.

“You tell me to stop, but… your body collapses too easily, so it’ll be hard to even talk like this. Right?”

While asking, Kailen—though she didn’t know since when—pulled out his fully *rect member with a squelching sound, then thr*st back in as far as he’d withdrawn.

“Hah! Kailen, Kailen…!”

“Yeah. If you have something to say, try saying it.”

Though he said it like he was being generous, Kailen gave Adeline absolutely no chance to speak.

He hadn’t even given her f*replay, but whether because of yesterday’s memory, his dark red shaft pounded madly into the hole that dutifully twitched.

Like it might enter all the way to her cervix, the split opening of his gl*ns kissed deep inside. His full scrotum mercilessly slapped her buttocks with wet smacking sounds.

The rough coupling made her worry her hole would wear out and her buttocks would chafe raw, so Adeline could only maintain her position on all fours on the bed like a dog, accepting him.

The sound of flesh striking flesh painfully hit her eardrums. Meanwhile, her thighs became a mess with fl*ids mixed with s*men and love juices dripping down.

As her body was pushed up following his hip movements, he would pull her back down and make her raise her buttocks high again, repeating this.

“Ahng, ah…!”

Truly beast-like mating brought tears to Adeline’s eyes again. Meanwhile, she felt something burst inside her and reached a point where she thought she might catch her breath for a moment.

Hah, huff. It was when she barely managed to control her uneven breathing. Kailen, still not withdrawn from inside, turned her body as it was.

Lying on her side, Adeline realized while looking down at Kailen looking at her. That it would absolutely not end with just once.

He twisted the corner of his mouth subtly and threw out a question.

“Yesterday, do you remember how many times we did it?”

One of her legs was placed over Kailen’s shoulder, and her v*lva holding his wet member was spread wide open.

* * *

Adeline lost consciousness again, unable to endure the beast-like coupling, and greeted the morning.

With the bedroom scenery not a bit different from yesterday and muscle pain she couldn’t get used to, the wrinkles between her brows wouldn’t smooth out easily. As she sighed while touching her forehead in dismay, a low bass voice rang in her ears.

“You woke up early.”

Hearing Kailen’s voice, her green eyes reflexively widened and rolled toward the bathroom door.

Having just finished showering, Kailen was dressed in a robe. When he shook his wet hair with a towel, his straight collarbone and firm chest showed through the open robe.

“…”

Only on the morning of the second day of married life did it feel real that he was her husband.

Strangely, during the two nights of disorderly *ntercourse, that reality hadn’t hit home.

In any case, in the bedroom flooded with morning sunlight, facing each other in intimate appearances felt more meaningful to her now.

“You haven’t left for work yet?”

Adeline lowered her eyes after checking the clock hands that had passed 9 AM. Her heart churned strangely.

“Yeah, people need days like today to live.”

Unlike her, his tone seemed to carry no particular meaning.

He approached, set the towel on the nightstand, and reached out. His large hand cupped her cheek, and his thumb slowly traced her eyes.

“Still red.”

His gaze, speaking like muttering, moved downward. Under his piercing eyes, Adeline only then realized she was looking at him completely n*ked without a thread on.

No…

Her earlobes heated up hotly. When she hurriedly pulled the blanket, his lips curved loosely.

“…”

It was a strange smile that seemed to mean it was absurd to act coy now after crying like a dog under him until dawn.

But whatever he thought, being n*ked under the pale moonlight and being n*ked like this under the morning light pouring through the window were completely different matters.

Watching Adeline look around for a robe, he opened his mouth after a moment’s hesitation.

“Want to have breakfast together?”

At Kailen’s unexpected suggestion, Adeline’s movements stopped as she was hurriedly getting down from the bed wrapped in sheets.

“Breakfast?”

“Yeah, I have time until about 11.”

“Mm, okay. Just wait a moment.”

Though the pain below throbbed unbearably with each step, Adeline hurried her steps toward the bathroom.

“I’ll get ready right away.”

She was anxious that he might disappear saying urgent business came up in the brief moment of opening the bathroom door.

* * *

A breakfast table was set on the terrace overlooking the neatly landscaped garden. Sunlight shone on the silverware on the table. Seeing the autumn sky was unusually clear, even the weather seemed to bless the newlyweds.

However, Adeline kept muttering to herself to steel her resolve.

Get it together, Adeline.

Please don’t forget what’s most important.

She couldn’t delay any longer. He was like that yesterday, and the day before too. It couldn’t be like that tomorrow too. 

That he came home late because he was busy, because the country was unsettled, because dealing with the shooting incident was a priority—that much was understandable, but…

She wanted him to respect her as much as she respected him.

Adeline parted her lips, inwardly repeating the resolution she’d gathered under the warm stream of water.

“I hurried to get ready as much as I could in my own way… but was I still very late?”

Unlike Adeline who’d finished simple grooming, Kailen was still sitting in his robe reading the newspaper.

“No, it’s a habit to check the newspaper first when I wake up.”

Coffee fragrance rose subtly.

So Kailen starts his mornings with coffee and the newspaper.

Learning something new about him made Adeline feel something ticklish in one side of her chest.

He folded the newspaper, set it aside, stood up, and pulled out a chair.

“Sit here.”

“Thank you.”

The meal that began as soon as she sat down proceeded in a quiet atmosphere, contrary to expectations. Quiet enough that the sound of cutlery hitting plates was distinctly audible.

While Adeline tried to empty her plate, all her nerves were focused on Kailen.

She was busy figuring out his preferences—what kinds of ingredients he preferred, whether he liked strong seasoning, etc.

After tasting a bit of the roasted eggplant and mushrooms, salad with seasonal fruit, and white bread placed before her, Adeline reached for the coffee set to one side.

“My lady.”

But just as she was about to lift the coffee cup, Kailen’s call stopped that action. Though it was natural to be called that term by her husband, she hesitated since it was the first time hearing that form of address.
