Chapter 18. Shall We Continue What We Were Doing?

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, you just got here, and you’re already leaving….”

“Should I stay, then?”

Aster asked softly, and I hesitated, unable to answer.

The more I talked, the more tangled it felt. I regretted not letting him leave.

He chuckled, then suddenly kissed me. Instinctively, I closed my eyes and accepted him. Imagining what we couldn’t finish in the salon made my body move on its own.

Once again, his large hand grabbed my waist. His tongue, more impatient than before, slipped between my lips, exploring aggressively, just like how he had nibbled and licked my hand in the Vice Commander’s office.

Unlike before, he seemed to have little composure. He swept my hair back with his remaining hand and swallowed all of my excited breaths.

With his rough movements, the shawl I had draped over my chemise nightgown fell to the floor. As the thin chemise wrinkled and slipped down, the cleavage of my br*asts deepened. The sight of the barely concealed peaks made Aster growl lowly.

“Why lie when you waited for me looking like this?”

He twisted my n*pple, sending a wild look my way.

“Ugh.”

“If you intended to seduce me, you succeeded, Camilla.”

His red eyes burned with passion, as if the last thread of his rationality had snapped.

It was ironic how he had intended to leave but now showed no restraint. His lips bit down persistently, moving down to lick my collarbone while his hands gripped my br*asts.

The intense stimulation made my body tense up. As a result, his hand slipped inside my clothes.

He didn’t hesitate to caress and squeeze the soft flesh.

The unfamiliar touch made every hair on my body stand on end. Instead of withdrawing his hand, he twisted and pinched the er*ect peak inside.

“Ah!”

A moan escaped involuntarily from the strong stimulation. Trembling, I called out to Aster in a pleading voice.

“Aster.”

As if that were a signal, he led me to the bed. His hand still played with my br*ast, and we moved to the bed while sharing a deep kiss.

The chirping of crickets outside seemed to enhance the sensual atmosphere. The sounds in the quiet night felt like they heightened the tension even more.

Just as his hand slid downward,

Knock, knock.

“!!”

The sudden knock made both Aster and me freeze. Instinctively, I covered his mouth and put some distance between us.

No one should be visiting at this hour; it was strange.

Aster looked at me with a disheveled face. Then, he deliberately kissed the palm of my hand.

It was clearly intentional. The sight was so seductive that I swallowed hard. But remembering someone was outside, I quickly regained my composure.

‘Just a moment!’

I silently scolded Aster, who chuckled. It seemed I was the only one flustered. Shortly after, a voice came from outside.

“My lady, it’s Serri.”

Why was Serri here at this hour?

My heart pounded as I wondered why Serri had come when everyone should be asleep.

At that moment, Aster pulled my hand down and started writing letters on my palm.

[Answer.]

It seemed he wanted me to respond. He probably intended for me to quickly get rid of the intruder. Struggling to maintain my composure, I spoke.

“W-what’s the matter?”

“I heard voices and came to check. May I come in?”

She must have woken up from the noise. Serri, being my personal maid, stayed close to my room, so she might have heard.

I had let out quite a loud moan, which made my heart shrink with fear.

“No! There’s no need to come in. I was just reading the scriptures because I couldn’t sleep.”

“It sounded like a man’s voice…”

“You must have misheard in your sleep. Who would sneak into my room at this hour?”

“I see. So, there’s nothing wrong, right? Do you need anything?”

“No, I don’t. Go back to sleep.”

Even while I dealt with Serri, Aster didn’t leave me alone. Tiring of teasing my palm, he started licking my fingers, his gaze intense.

His eyes soon moved to my chest. His gaze was so full of desire that it seemed he wanted to devour my br*asts.

His gaze alone almost made me cl*max. Nervously, I swallowed hard, and his lips moved to my collarbone.

When his w*t tongue licked my chest, I lost half my sanity. The act over my nightgown was incredibly erotic.

The soaked nightgown clearly revealed my reddened n*pples. When he lowered my clothes and moved his tongue around my ar*ola, my n*pples became even more er*ect and wobbled.

As he bit down on my br*ast, I lost the ability to continue the conversation with Serri and hurried her away.

“Hurry!”

“Yes, I will. Goodnight, my lady.”

Serri responded without suspicion. I held my breath, listening to the sound of her opening her door.

Only when the noise completely stopped did I let out a sigh of relief. Or rather, I tried to, but he swallowed it back.

“Ha…! Mmph….”

It was as if he had been waiting for Serri to leave; he pushed even harder. My breath came out ragged between my bitten lips.

Carefully, to avoid letting any sound escape, he asked while still kissing me. His deep voice felt like it was pounding on my heart.

“Shall we continue where we left off?”

How could I not understand the meaning of those words?

I glanced away, showing a hint of worry.

“…What if Serri hears us?”

She came because she heard a small noise earlier; I was scared she might hear us again. I regretted not sending her to a room further away.

It was ridiculous to think this, but I couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed that I couldn’t make any noise. At the same time, the tension of trying to stay silent added to the excitement.

My words and actions were contradictory. Despite my words implying hesitation, I naturally leaned back.

Aster slowly moved up, following my movements. When our eyes met again, I was startled as if I had been burned.

His red eyes stared at me intensely, like a predator eyeing its prey from afar.

His gaze was so captivating that I couldn’t look away. I finally understood what it meant to be drawn into someone’s eyes.

Having experienced it once, my body couldn’t help but anticipate. I regretted not remembering much from that drunken night.

Aster gently pushed my shoulder. At that moment, my body fell back completely.

He lightly played with my disheveled pink hair. Just as I was about to say something,

“Shh.”

Aster placed a finger on my lips as if he was playing a secret game. His face had regained its composure.

Though his eyes still burned with passion, his previously urgent touch had softened.

He whispered while leaning his weight on me.

“We can’t get caught.”

His slow movements made me regret saying we shouldn’t get caught. His gentle touch was more torturous than his urgent one.

* * *

On the quiet bed, Camilla stifled her moans with her hand. It wasn’t just to avoid being caught.

The sight of the n*ked Aster above her was so stimulating that it made her breathless.

By now, both were in their natural state, facing each other.

His broad shoulders and the firm, muscular chest beneath them. The beautifully defined abs along the lines of his muscles were stunning.

When Camilla unconsciously ran her hand over Aster’s abs, he groaned.

“Don’t rush me.”

He held her hand and kissed it. Her slender fingers slipped between his parted lips, getting licked repeatedly.

“Hoo…”

Aster exhaled deeply and released her fingers. At the same time, his large, thick fingers roamed over her smooth, white skin. Every spot his fingers touched sent shivers through her.

“Ah…”

Camilla let out a low breath without realizing it, then was startled. The sultry sound seemed too erotic. Aster’s red eyes had darkened to a deep crimson. His lowered lashes fluttered slowly.

He was entirely focused on Camilla.

Every time he touched her ar*ola, her er*ect n*pples bounced. It was as beautiful as a blooming flower bud.

It felt unfair for such a slender waist to support such ample br*asts.

Moreover, the soft, pliant flesh felt so delicate compared to his firm body that he feared gripping it too tightly might break it.

Aster murmured as if entranced.

“You’re beautiful.”

“…….”

“With such a beautiful body, why won’t you let me touch it?”

Aster whispered as he gripped my br*asts tightly.

“Well… Serri… ugh.”

Camilla tried to resist weakly but ended up moaning. He had lowered his head and taken one of her br*asts into his mouth.

Holding her ample br*asts with both hands, he savored one with his mouth. The soft flesh, as sweet and tender as it was, filled his senses.

How could a person’s skin smell so good?

As he took a deep breath, the fine hairs on her body stood up, and her back arched. Camilla lightly grasped the back of Aster’s head as he licked her br*ast.

“Ah, ah, Aster….”

“Wait. I’ll make you feel good.”

Aster smiled seductively as he licked her br*ast. Circling her ar*ola gently and then biting the peak, Camilla couldn’t keep still.

“Ah… please.”

Words of pleading slipped out of her mouth. While persistently tormenting her br*asts, Aster’s hand slid down below her navel.

He teasingly stroked the area around her private garden, stimulating Camilla. It was clear from her reaction that she was already soaking w*t inside.

Camilla didn’t understand why her body was reacting so intensely to his calm and gentle movements. Despite the gentle actions, she was more aroused than usual.

Perhaps the fear of being caught by Serri was doubling the excitement.

“Ah!”

Camilla’s body jerked. His fingers had finally found the tiny bud nestled in her secret garden.

Like morning dew on grass, droplets began to form in Camilla’s intimate garden. The dew, initially small, soon turned into a fountain under the intruder’s touch.

“Ah.”

Camilla shuddered, gasping for breath. The sensation of climaxing from just his fingers left her dazed.

“Camilla….”

Aster’s eyes were equally hazy. Keeping his gaze fixed on her, he licked his glistening fingers.

She wanted to ask why he was doing that, but his piercing gaze left her speechless.

“You wasted it all.”

Aster smiled and stroked his er*ect m*mber up and down. The sight of his throbbing length made Camilla dizzy.

“I don’t think I can.”

“You can.”

“No….”

“We’ve already done it before.”

Aster cut her off and positioned the head of his c*ck at her entrance.

“You’re this w*t and you’re saying you won’t take me?”

At that moment, Aster’s manhood plunged deep inside Camilla.

“Ah!”

Camilla covered her mouth with her hand and stifled a moan. The sensation was even clearer than when they had mixed bodies while drunk, making her legs spread wide.

“See? You’re taking me well.”

Aster grinned and held her hips to prevent her from escaping, thrusting rhythmically.

Thrust, thrust, thrust.

With each rhythmic movement, Camilla’s body shook helplessly. Her bouncing br*asts were captured by his lips.

“Ah!”

Camilla gasped and pleaded. The stimulation from both above and below was too intense. Below, she was stretched to accommodate him, while above, her br*asts were squeezed and roughly handled.

Her lower region tightened with each deep thrust, producing a squelching sound.

He grabbed her hand and placed it on her cl*toris, commanding,

“Rub it.”

“Ah.”

Unable to refuse his command, Camilla rubbed her cl*toris, forgetting her shame. Each time his veined c*ck brushed against her fingers, she shivered.

Thump!

His rough movements caused his c*ck to hit her hand. The hot, w*t sh*ft brushed against the back of her hand.

“Ah, sorry.”

Was it really an accident?

Camilla looked at Aster reproachfully. He ran his sweat-soaked hair back and said,

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“…….”

“It excites me.”

He casually uttered the lewd words, smiling, and thrust into her without warning.

“Ah!”

“You’re too cute to leave alone.”

With those words, he pressed his body close and focused on thrusting. His firm chest rubbed against her mashed br*asts, causing more stimulation.

Camilla clung to his back, panting. By now, both their bodies were drenched in sweat. The unrelenting pace plunged them into deep pl*asure.

“Camilla.”

“Aster.”

As they called each other’s names, s*men spurted from below.

“Ugh.”

“Ah.”

Camilla panted, looking at Aster. As they kissed, enjoying the afterglow, he said,

“We’re not done yet.”

“What?”

“The night is long, Camilla.”

“…….”

“The night has just begun.”

Aster smiled gracefully and kissed her. His arms, firmly binding her, twitched.

Like a hunter capturing a fleeing deer, his grip was strong.

“Ah.”

Camilla accepted the long night ahead, letting her body go limp.

“Yes. The night is long.”

She, too, felt it would be a shame to end it like this.

It was an incredibly ecstatic night.

Before the full-fledged debutante preparations, Ayla Letia visited Francis Castle.

She decided to stay at Letia Castle in the capital instead of the villa for the time being, probably because of Christopher.

It seemed she moved to the main castle in the capital because she was worried about him suddenly joining the Red Knights.

Thanks to this, it became much easier for us to visit each other, which was good for me.

“Welcome, Mrs Ayla. Was your journey comfortable?”

“I arrived comfortably thanks to the carriage you sent. It was just in time as my own carriage was under repair.”

“I sent the carriage after hearing from Sir Christopher.”

“Chris must have bothered you with unnecessary worries.”

“No, not at all. On the contrary, I’m receiving help.”
