Chapter 16 (Part 1)

“You are a pervert! Why would you do that!”

Grace covered her face with her hands and shook her head side to side, unable to even ask why he would eat that.  

The more embarrassed she got, the more she tried to maintain her composure, the less Grace seemed to realize that something hidden deep inside her was stirring uncontrollably.  

Leonardo slowly lowered his upper body and flicked her swollen cl*toris with his finger as if it were cute.  

“Hng!”  

As Grace twisted her waist, he stretched his lips into a long smile and buried his face between her legs, licking her cl*toris with his tongue.  

“Ahh! Leo, Leo!”  

Grace, startled as if she had never experienced such an act before, tried to close her legs in a fluster. Leonardo chuckled.  

“You like it when I lick you.”  

“T-that, ah, but!”  

Grace tried to protest weakly, but Leonardo, already settled into position, had no intention of stopping.  

He rolled her cl*toris with his tongue like a piece of candy, then trailed his tongue along the wet path, drinking the sweet nectar flowing from her twitching opening as if savoring a spring’s water.  

“Haaah!”  

As Grace trembled and moaned, Leonardo felt an inexplicable impatience.  

Until now, he had always waited until she was fully aroused and wet, but today, for some reason, he wanted to push forward quickly.  

He couldn’t understand what was driving him.  

“Leo, Leo.”  

At Grace’s call, Leonardo, his lips glistening with saliva, licked them slowly and climbed over her.  

Seeing the desire glistening in his eyes, Grace whispered softly.  

“Stop… just put it in.”  

Though she loved everything he did to her, today, for some reason, she wanted to see his face.  

The face of Leonardo, who devoured her and smiled contentedly as if he had the whole world.  

At Grace’s urging, Leonardo blinked and smiled, grabbing his member and rubbing it against her entrance.  

“Is this what you wanted so badly?”  

“D-don’t say it, ahh! Like that!”  

His usual polite demeanor contrasted so starkly with his vulgar words in moments like this that it made him seem like a complete pervert.  

And yet, for some reason, it excited her even more.  

“Your body seems more honest than your words.”  

With that, Leonardo, as if he could no longer hold back, pushed his member inside.  

“Haaah!”  

She could feel the heavy, hot shaft parting her insides as it entered.  

Grace arched her back and moaned.  

“You’re still so tight.”  

Even though they had been at it constantly for days, to the point where it was no exaggeration to say they couldn’t take their eyes off each other, she was still tight and hot.  

Her twitching walls seemed to welcome him, as if asking why he had taken so long, and Leonardo chuckled.  

Moving his hips slowly, he said, 

“I must be insane.”  

“Haaah! W-why?”  

“You seem like you wanted this.”  

He couldn’t bring himself to say that her insides felt like they were devouring him, so he spoke indirectly. Grace cupped his face and kissed him lightly, as if to confirm his words.  

“Is that true?” 

He asked.  

“Haaah.”  

Instead of answering, Grace let out a moan.  

Gripping her waist tightly, Leonardo gritted his teeth and thrust harder.  

“Damn it, then more.”  

There was no reason to hold back.  

If Grace also wanted him, if she desired to be in his arms like this, then there was no reason to restrain himself.  

Leonardo moved his hips forcefully, searching for the spot Grace loved, thrusting his shaft into her.  

“Hng, ahhh! Ahh!”  

As Grace moaned, shaken by the intense stimulation, Leonardo smiled in satisfaction.  

He grasped her chest, rubbing her swollen n*pples with his hand as he rotated his hips.  

“Gracie, does it feel good here?”  

When he moved his hips gently, rubbing the spot that elicited the strongest reaction, Grace trembled.  

Kissing her face, he moved his hand from her chest down to her swollen cl*toris, rubbing it lightly.  

The stimulation from his movements alone was already enough to bring tears to her eyes, and now he added another layer of pleasure.  

“Ahhh!”  

Grace moaned, arching her back and trembling.  

Seeing her on the verge of climax, Leonardo thrust into her harder.  

“Haaah! Ahh!”  

How had they come to share even their most secret selves like this?  

Leonardo realized why Grace had been crying earlier when they were talking. He had been thinking the same thing.  

“Leo!”  

“Hng, Gracie. Please, relax.”  

Leonardo pleaded in a low voice, but Grace, as if she hadn’t heard him, wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, pulling him closer.  

“Haaah!”  

“Damn it, I’m going crazy!”  

At this rate, he felt like he might climax before Grace did.  

His beloved, lost in pleasure, could do nothing but moan and cling to his shoulders.  

Though it might leave a few small scratches.  

Leonardo thrust his shaft into her even harder, muttering to himself.  

“Honestly… who’s devouring who here?”  

He now knew how much Grace loved it when he thrust hard enough to make her cry out in pleasure.  

And yet, it wasn’t enough.  

He wanted to devour every part of her, to make her entirely his own.  

So that no one else could ever have her.  

“Gracie, how is it? Does it feel good?”  

Even knowing she would be embarrassed, Leonardo asked with a mischievous grin.  

Tears welled up in Grace’s eyes from the relentless stimulation, and she whimpered.  

“Hng, Leo! Don’t… say things like that!”  

Her expression, as she tried to protest, was so adorable that Leonardo felt his mischievous side emerge again. Whispering into her ear, he said,  

“Why not? You like it, don’t you?”  

As he thrust deeply, Grace’s body shuddered, and she moaned.  

“Hng!”  

Watching his lover, now his woman, overwhelmed with pleasure and sobbing, Leonardo whispered softly.  

“I love you, Gracie.”  

The night that swept away their lingering doubts was both long and fleeting.  

***

The next day.  

Grace, her face heavy with fatigue, glared at Leonardo, who sat next to her with a refreshed expression.  

Why was it that they had enjoyed themselves together, yet she was the one completely drained while he looked so radiant and glowing?  

“I really don’t understand.”  

“Hmm? What do you mean?”  

Leonardo, who was organizing their luggage, approached Grace and kissed her.  

The brief touch of his lips on her forehead tickled, and Grace unconsciously rubbed the spot with her hand as she spoke.  

“Leo, how can you act like nothing happened?”  

At her words, Leonardo looked at her with a momentary expression of confusion before raising one eyebrow slightly as if he’d just realized something.  

Grace, now familiar with the way he always raised an eyebrow before teasing her, tried to cover his mouth, but—  

“It seems, my dear knight, that you need some stamina training. Only then can you play with me for longer.”  

Leonardo’s playful grin, complete with a wink, made Grace snap, even though she knew it was a joke.  

“Who trains as much as I do! You’re the weird one!”  

As Grace fretted and fumed, Leonardo burst out laughing.  

“Don’t you think I act like this because your reactions make it so much fun?”  

At his words, Grace pouted.  

But she couldn’t truly be angry since this relaxed, teasing side of him, along with his borderline indecent remarks, were things he only showed to her.  

“Don’t say things like that to anyone else, seriously.”  

As Grace grumbled while tidying up the bedding, Leonardo, who had resumed organizing their luggage, came up behind her and naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.  

“Who else would I say this to?”  

Adding that he couldn’t act this way with anyone but her, Leonardo earned a light slap on the arm from Grace, who exclaimed with a slightly flushed face,  

“Go organize the groceries or something!”  

Realizing that she was just embarrassed, Leonardo chuckled and left the room.  

Grace, watching him leave with a sulky expression, glanced around. Ever since they had come to this place, she had been rolling around with him every day, living almost like lovers.  

‘Well, we are real lovers now.’  

Seeing the traces of their time together scattered everywhere, Grace couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.  

‘No matter what, we won’t be able to live like this once we return.’  

Though they might appear closer in public, they wouldn’t be able to openly show affection.  

Even if Leonardo had plans, they wouldn’t be resolved immediately. Besides, neither of them was in a position to elope for love.  

‘Surely, he doesn’t plan to keep acting like this after we return, right? That would be a problem.’  

Lost in such idle thoughts, Grace picked up her clothes and stepped out of the lodging.  

“Ah, is everything inside sorted?”  

At his question, Grace nodded.  

Then, looking at the neatly packed luggage Leonardo had arranged in the parlor, she shook her head as if exasperated and said,  

“What is there to do? You didn’t let me handle anything but the bedding.”  

Recognizing the hint of a complaint in her words, Leonardo smiled, wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her up effortlessly.  

Finding herself suddenly looking down at Leonardo, Grace’s face turned pale.  

“W-what are you doing! Put me down!”  

“You’re so cute, even when you’re whining.”  

He rubbed his face against her stomach and smiled bashfully.  

Seeing his softened demeanor, Grace couldn’t help but smile back as if she had no choice. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she whispered softly,  

“You’re cute too.”  

At her response, Leonardo burst into laughter. After placing a brief kiss on her cheek, he said,  

“Shall we head back now?”  

“Yes, let’s go back.”  

Whatever the outcome, it was time to return.
