“Jaelinne.”

Jaelinne quickly lifted her head and smiled brightly. Noel stood at the door, though she hadn’t noticed when he arrived.

“Noel, when did you get here?”

“Just now.”

Noel answered halfheartedly while scanning Jaelinne from head to toe.

She looked no different from yesterday. She always wore a blouse and skirt when going to the academy. Neat and proper.

“Here.”

Jaelinne looked at the large hand thr*st in front of her face. It was a knight’s hand, callused here and there. When she just stared blankly without taking it, Noel waved his hand impatiently.

“It’s strange to notice now, but your hands are really big.”

It truly was a strange thing to notice. She knew well that his body had grown incomparably larger than before. Yet sometimes she was still startled. Had he always been… this big?

“You’re just small.”

Noel grabbed Jaelinne’s hand since she showed no intention of moving. He was burning with impatience to quickly check the places he couldn’t see. Jaelinne’s dawdling felt almost spiteful.

“Get in.”

Noel dragged Jaelinne to the carriage.

“Why are you in such a hurry? We could go slowly.”

Unaware of his burning impatience, Jaelinne wore an innocent expression. Unable to bear it any longer, Noel lifted Jaelinne and climbed into the carriage. Thud! The carriage door closed with an irritated sound.

“Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”

“……”

Jaelinne squeezed her eyes shut and turned her head away. Embarrassment washed over her. Now that they were alone after he had been scanning her up and down, she could guess where he would look next.

Whether Jaelinne blushed or not, Noel, seized by impatience, sat her in the chair and unbuttoned her blouse. When he undid three buttons in succession, her deep cleavage was revealed. 

He deliberately inserted his finger between the pressed-together pale flesh. The feeling of the soft pressure against his finger sent blood rushing to his lower body.

“What are you doing, Noel?”

He repeated the action of slightly withdrawing his finger and inserting it again. He was so intoxicated by the sensation that he couldn’t even answer. 

The elasticity of the skin that followed his finger and the pleasant pressure were ecstatic. If he inserted something other than his finger here… if something long and wet pushed through the narrow path between them…

“N-Noel?”

Jaelinne’s voice trembled slightly at the end. He looked ready to strip off all the bothersome clothes at any moment.

“Do you ever touch yourself when you’re alone?”

“No…”

Though she answered reflexively, it was quite a bewildering question.

“If I were you, I would have spent all day touching this, making daily life impossible.”

Noel eventually undid all the buttons of Jaelinne’s blouse. Yellow today. Without even looking, he was certain the underwear beneath was also yellow.

“It suits you well.”

Noel bent down and buried his face in Jaelinne’s upper chest. He wanted to live buried in this chest for the rest of his life and die there. His hand wandered around her collarbone, just below her chest.

“Hah…”

He felt like he might go crazy. The sweet fragrance and soft skin prevented him from daring to lift his head. His fingertips gradually burrowed under the underwear that encased her chest. It seemed like a good idea to touch her lightly during the ride to the academy.

He pushed up the tight underwear and stared intently at the shy peak that clung upward. The deep pink color resembled Jaelinne’s face, reddened with shyness.

“The academy… is it still far?”

When Noel’s hot breath spread across her bare skin, an inexplicable tingling sensation rushed downward. Lately, whenever Jaelinne saw him, her body kept acting strangely. 

She would grow wet below and her n*pples would stiffen. Though Noel looked pleased when he noticed these changes, she herself… was dying of embarrassment.

Even now, he looked ready to roughly handle her tender flesh while his face smiled like he was seeing something delightful.

“Yeah.”

Her br*ast, lifted from below, swayed right in front of Noel’s mouth. Her n*pple seemed ready to be sucked into his mouth at any moment. Jaelinne clenched her hands tightly. She felt strangely nervous.

“Should I s*ck it?”

Noel pressed the stiffly *rect n*pple with his thumb.

She felt a tingling sensation similar to tickling. If this place were sucked… would it feel different from kissing? 

Curiosity and anticipation suddenly raised their heads, but she hesitated to readily answer “yes.”

Perhaps seeing her hesitant lips, Noel suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked her n*pple. It was a gentle movement like eating ice cream. Jaelinne’s body trembled greatly. Because of this, the br*ast filling his hand also swayed.

“I haven’t answered yet…!”

“This is a sample. For reference when you answer.”

It was an utterly shameless response. The tongue that had briefly moved away came close again. The moist, hot tongue circled around her *reola. Round and round, heating the center. 

Her body grew hotter and hotter. The teasing tongue movements tormented Jaelinne. Though her chest heaved roughly enough that he might accidentally graze the peak, his tongue very precisely licked only around the *reola.

“W-wait!”

Even when she pushed his head away, he didn’t budge. She bit down hard on the tender flesh inside her mouth. She was annoyed. Just… just put it in without asking. It was a terrible bad habit.

“Fine! Do it…”

“Do what?”

His blinking eyes, pretending to know nothing, were detestable. Jaelinne glared at him once, then squeezed her eyes shut. She had no confidence to speak while looking into his eyes. Her face must have turned bright red.

“S*ck… please…”

She raised her voice irritably, then quickly whispered in Noel’s ear, worried the coachman might hear. Finding her amusing, low laughter came from below.

“Don’t laugh…!”

The rest of her words were swallowed. Stimulation poured onto the peak that had been tantalizingly ticklish.

“Ah.”

Noel pressed her n*pple firmly with his thick tongue, then sucked it like a baby nursing. The force was quite strong, causing a sharp pain, but an equal or greater pleasure resonated through her waist.

Without realizing it, Jaelinne pushed her chest forward even more. She could feel vibrations from her n*pple, suggesting Noel was laughing again. 

Though her honest body embarrassed her, even that felt good. Her whole body seemed to stand on edge with sensitivity. The feeling of gentle licking occasionally interrupted by nibbling with his front teeth was unbearably thrilling.

Just when her underwear below had become unpleasantly soaked, Noel’s hand that had been gripping her chest gradually moved downward. He traced her dizzying curves past her waist, caressed her gentle pelvis, then grabbed the hem of her skirt and pulled it up sharply.

When Noel, who had wanted to see her intimate place, lifted his lips from her chest, a long silver thread stretched between them. Pleased by this, Noel gave the now redder peak one last lick and lowered his face further. Sure enough, yellow underwear peeked out shyly.

“Why aren’t you wearing what I bought you?”

Neither top nor bottom were the underwear he had bought her. Last time too, and this time as well, Jaelinne wore something other than what he had given her. Though he hadn’t been completely unprepared for this, seeing it confirmed before his eyes soured his good mood.

“How could I wear that!”

From her red face and sharp cry, it seemed she had at least tried.

“Wear it. Only I see it anyway.”

“……”

She didn’t say she’d rather die first. Jaelinne was unexpectedly stubborn and rarely did things she disliked, even by force.

“Tsk.”

His generous mood from moments before turned petty again. Noel recalled the item he had brought just in case and fidgeted over Jaelinne’s yellow underwear. Though her lower area was already thoroughly soaked, feeling spiteful, he planned to torment her thoroughly.

He forcibly inserted his finger through the long slit and scraped with his fingernail. When something round like a bean got caught in the middle, Jaelinne made agonized sounds, but he paid no attention.

As his finger began slow up-and-down movements, Jaelinne grabbed his wrist and pleaded.

“Stop it. I’m feeling strange.”

“What kind of feeling do you get?”

He buried his lips in her delicate-looking neck without stopping his finger.

“Hmm? You need to answer.”

When he pressed firmly on her cl*toris, Jaelinne’s waist jerked greatly.

“Ugh!”

When he pressed and rotated in circles, this time a sobbing sound burst out loudly. He could feel the bean-sized thing under her underwear swelling considerably.

“Jaelinne.”

She answered haltingly to his urging voice. Lost in the pleasure rising from below, she couldn’t even recognize what she was saying.

“Ahh… it tickles… and it’s h-hot.”

“And?”

Noel’s fingertip slightly penetrated the opening. The fabric texture of the underwear wrapping his finger felt vivid. Soft yet rough…

“It feels… good…”

Hearing Jaelinne’s small voice, Noel felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Without realizing it, he put strength into his finger. 

But the underwear stretched to its limit prevented him from penetrating deeper. If there had been no underwear, he might have carved a small path into that pure wetland where no one had ever entered.
