Chapter 21

‘I want to believe.’

She wanted to trust Ash. But the circumstances were just too strange. Still, she wanted to believe. Yet, still…

‘How should I really think about this?’

How was she supposed to accept Ash—as what kind of person?

Her thoughts were interrupted by the whisper of the man who had his face buried between her thighs.

“You stopped moving, so I thought maybe you were finally listening.”

“Mm?”

“Your focus isn’t great today, Doctor.”

“Huu, ah…”

Then, as if scolding her, his tongue pressed in.

“Wait, wait… That’s too…”

“You shouldn’t try to rush through something this important.”

“I-I’m not rushing…”

“And lying is even worse.”

With those words, Ash flicked her cl*toris as if punishing her.

A sudden wave of pleasure made Erin’s neck fall back, her waist arching tight. With a powerful urge, she felt something gush from below.

Erin’s face turned bright red from embarrassment.

“Huu, huu, d-don’t…”

“If you’d just focus, I wouldn’t have to do this, Doctor.”

Ash’s rough sigh warmed her inner walls. While Erin flinched, he lightly tapped her thigh, then bit the soft flesh gently and continued.

“Still, it’s not bad.”

“W-what…?”

“You’re so wet and sensitive.”

“…”

“So I doubt we need any more prep.”

At his raw words, Erin could only stare dumbly with her mouth open.

“……”

Ash’s lips curled upward, his face wet. She didn’t need to ask what he was wet with.

Blink.

Each time his delicate eyes blinked, drops clung to his long lashes and fell.

When one drop traced his lips in a graceful arc…

Slick.

Ash stuck out his tongue and licked his lips without hesitation. Erin shivered. Seeing such a sensual sight made her own body burn even hotter.

All the thoughts she’d had just moments before seemed to fly away.

“I always think this, but you taste sweeter than I expect, Doctor.”

“D-don’t say things like that…”

“Well. That’s not what’s important right now.”

With that, Ash casually sat up, unbuckled his pants, and pulled out what had been trapped inside.

No matter how familiar she was with it, every time it entered her body, it felt a little overwhelming. Now, as it pressed between her folds, she could feel her body clenching in anticipation. Ash seemed to notice, grinning wickedly.

“You don’t need to beg, I’ll put it in, Doctor.”

“T-that’s…”

“And I’ll fill you up.”

As he said that, Ash stroked her lower belly and rubbed the tip of his thick member against her womanhood.

He brushed teasingly along her entrance, circling her cl*toris with his shaft, making Erin twitch repeatedly. Anticipating penetration, her thighs grew slick.

“Huu, huuu…”

“So don’t worry.”

“A-Ash…”

“You don’t have to squeeze so desperately. All my seed is for you, Doctor.”

“Don’t say things like that!”

“But Doctor, isn’t that our contract?”

Ash smiled and circled her trembling br*ast with his hand, sighing contentedly at the soft feel. He licked his lips and whispered,

“Until you get pregnant, I’ll keep filling you.”

Pregnant?

Erin shook her head quickly in shock.

“O-our contract wasn’t like that…”

“I’ll keep going, keep filling you, until you’re carrying my child.”

“N-no…”

“Oh. Was that not what you wanted?”

Ash’s words felt especially strange today.

‘It’s almost as if…’

It sounded like he actually wanted her to have his child.

‘You’re crazy, Erin Leshamur.’

Erin felt quietly horrified by her own thoughts.

‘To doubt him so freely, to get so confused, to wonder if he likes me…’

And now, to think Ash might want to get her pregnant.

This was serious. Erin felt a strange twinge in her chest.

She thought she understood what kind of “serious” this was.

‘I… Ash…’

Maybe, more than she realized…

It was a sudden realization, but looking back, it was inevitable.

They’d spent three years face-to-face. He was handsome, fit, skilled, and kind.

He always looked out for her, stood by her no matter what others said, came running whenever she was in danger.

And she’d even mixed bodies with him, and he was amazing in bed.

‘It’d be stranger not to like him…’

Her feelings had grown beyond a simple crush, and she couldn’t help it.

She felt like crying a little more. It wasn’t just her fault.

Honestly, wasn’t it Ash’s fault for being so handsome, fit, kind, and good in bed?

‘I didn’t want to see him as just a man…’

Because then she’d never be able to get away, so she tried not to.

But people’s hearts don’t always cooperate. Even as she thought that, she’d been falling for him for a long time.

Erin realized just how far her heart had tipped toward Ash, feeling her nose prickle.

Slick.

Ash gripped Erin’s thighs and lifted her legs over his shoulders.

Rubbing his shaft against her belly and entrance, he lined up the tip with her waiting opening. His lips curled upward as he looked at her.

“That’s right.”

“Ugh!”

“So you didn’t want that.”

Ash smiled slowly, not knowing her true feelings, and pressed the tip into her tight entrance.

“Ah!”

Erin gasped as she was pierced by the sharp intrusion.

It always felt so intense.

Even though she was soaked, it was still tight inside.

Her flesh clamped down, unwilling to leave any gap, and her heart thudded against his.

Her body gripped him tightly, biting down on the invader.

“Ugh!”

Ash grunted low. He soothed her with his thumb on her cl*t, but her walls kept spasming. Frowning, Ash started to thr*st.

“Hah, ah, ugh!”

As Ash moved, Erin felt like she might cry.

‘I should think more.’

She needed to decide.

Should she push him away, or just trust him and surrender everything?

‘But I’m scared.’

She didn’t want to disturb the truth hidden between them. Not now, not while Ash was inside her, not when she didn’t want to ruin everything.

‘I’ve never felt like this.’

To want to cry because she couldn’t do anything.

Even as she thought that, Ash’s body kept moving, thrusting into her.

Squelch, squish, squelch.

Her trembling body rippled with every movement.

‘Ah.’

As her mind went white again, a small voice whispered in the corner of her heart.

‘Let’s talk about it next time.’

‘Yes. Next time. Not now.’

At least when they were both in their right minds, when they could talk calmly and rationally.

‘So for now…’

For now, she just wanted to focus on this act.

Even if it was just a delusion, she wanted to believe Ash was pouring his whole heart into this moment. She didn’t want to think about any other possibility.

‘I…’

Right now, Erin just wanted to focus on Ash.

Her pale skin, sweaty and trembling, rose and fell sharply with his movements, sending ripples through her body.

As if pleased, Ash gripped her waist tightly and breathed low into her ear.

It felt like her ear was on fire. Erin whimpered without thinking.

“Hng, hng, Ash, it’s too deep…”

“I have to go deep, Doctor.”

“Hng, ah…”

“I have to put it all in your womb, right?”

His teasing whisper made her walls spasm again. She couldn’t control her reaction.

Just those possessive words from Ash made her instinctively happy.

“Not a single drop should leak out.”

“Ah, uh….”

“You’ll take it all properly this time, won’t you?”

Even those slightly vulgar words were overwhelming stimulation.

‘I want to make him feel good too…’

She wanted to make Ash feel good.

Unconsciously, Erin tightly wrapped her trembling legs around Ash’s waist.

“…Ha.”

In the blink of an eye, a warm sensation filled her inside.

“…Ah?”

Realizing what it was, Erin flinched.

It was an earlier cl*max than usual.

‘Huh?’

After all that time melting her with f*replay, he’d finished after just a few thr*sts. That wasn’t like Ash.
