In front of her, who was fretting with worry, Leomi, who had been lying limply on the ground like dead, suddenly disappeared smoothly into the soil. Panicked, Liana searched the greenhouse for over half a day, but couldn’t find Leomi in the end.

And that night Philip came to the annex.

“Lady, His Grace said he is unwell and cannot visit the annex for several days.”

“Really? Is he very sick?”

Liana asked with a worried expression.

To think someone who did nighttime activities so intensely was sick. She had thought he was healthy, but human affairs were truly unpredictable.

“No. His Grace sometimes becomes ill due to accumulated fatigue from heavy official duties. You don’t need to worry. He will get better soon.”

“I see. May I go see His Grace?”

To have so much work that he became ill….. She was worried about how sick Dain was and wanted to go see him. She didn’t know whether he liked or hated her, but she couldn’t just stay when the duke was sick.

“That won’t do. If you wait a few days, he will come to the annex.”

Philip answered with a troubled expression to her words.

“Yes, I understand.”

Liana’s face darkened.

She had never seen the duke’s face until now, but from the feeling against her bare skin, he had a sturdy build and solid body. So she had never once imagined he would be sick.

‘Even the murderer duke gets sick sometimes……’

Leomi was sick, Dain was sick too, and today her heart felt somehow gloomy.

Feeling melancholy, Liana sang in her bedroom. It was a theatrical aria she had sung following Laura’s song in the backstage waiting room.

‘…… It’s Liana.’

Liana’s singing reached Dain’s ears while he lay in bed. It was a refreshing, beautiful, and sorrowful song.

He wanted to quickly go to her side, who would be waiting for him in the greenhouse and in the bedroom. Hearing her singing made him yearn for her even more desperately, driving him crazy. But he couldn’t move now because he was molting.

Molting was inevitable for the snake clan. The process of shedding one layer of skin and growing new skin was not easy. Because he felt weak like he would collapse any moment and his whole body was full of pain, he had to rest without doing anything.

He curled up his pain-soaked body and focused on Liana’s singing. His body was still unwell, but somehow his heart seemed to soften gently.

* * *

“He’s not coming today either.”

A few days later, Liana, who was waiting for Leomi in the greenhouse, muttered with a disappointed expression. She visited the greenhouse every day, but Leomi didn’t appear.

Then a few days later. Leomi finally appeared in the greenhouse.

“Oh my. Did you put on new clothes?”

Leomi’s scales crawling toward her were sparkling brilliantly. They were so dazzling she couldn’t look directly at them.

“Pretty. Very wonderful.”

The house-sized white snake’s scales were beautiful like pure white porcelain.

Liana, who smiled brightly, stretched out both arms to hug Leomi’s neck. The snake seemed happy and rested its chin on her neck, rubbing against her.

Liana gave Leomi cookies with strawberry jam and smiled brightly. It was a special snack she had brought hoping Leomi would quickly recover its energy.

The snake looked at her smiling with an entranced expression and took her in with its eyes. Perhaps because they met after a long time, both didn’t hide their affection.

That night, Dain came to Liana’s bedroom. It had been a week since he was sick.

“You came?”

Liana, who had heard from Philip that he was coming and had put on her blindfold in advance, welcomed him gladly.

“I heard you were sick, are you okay now?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“That’s fortunate. I was worried.”

Dain felt his heart becoming warm and fuzzy at her concerned words.

Dain, who climbed onto the bed, reached out to stroke her slender neck. It was a fragile neck that seemed like it would break with just a little force from his fingertips.

“Were you worried about me?”

“Yes.”

“…… Why?”

Dain looked at her with a puzzled expression. Why worry about a man who was forcibly brought here instead of the money her father swindled, and who only took her body?

A seed of doubt sprouted in his heart.

Even if she hated him, he would have nothing to say in this situation. But she said she worried about him, which he couldn’t understand. If he were in her position, he would have killed the one who confined him and escaped the ducal castle.

“The role I played in the theater was a homeless stray cat. When the cat that appeared every day doesn’t show up, the protagonist worries. It’s the same thing.”

“Cat……”

So to her, he was like a cat?

The corner of Dain’s mouth slightly rose.

A cat……

Fine, I’ll gladly become a cat.

He removed the thin cloth covering Liana’s body and began licking her skin.

“Oh my, it tickles. Hoho.”

Liana twisted her body and shouted.

“Dain, stop it. Stop.”

“You called me a cat?”

“It’s a joke. A joke.”

Even when Liana told him to stop, Dain didn’t stop licking her. Only his tongue movement changed from tickling to dense caressing.

“Ahh, Dain. Mmm.”

When his tongue licked her p*ssy, high moans burst from Liana’s mouth. Dain, who buried his head between her legs, moved his tongue quickly and licked up between her l*bia minora, then bit her cl*toris.

“Ahh, Dain.”

Liana trembled and moaned at his tongue movements. Dain spun the protruding sensitive flesh with the tip of his tongue, then bit it with his lips and pulled it like flicking.

“Ahhh. Mmm.”

Her moans grew louder. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Making his tongue pointed and stabbing it into the hole, he thrust while coating the tip of his tongue with love juices like scooping them out. Then he kept his tongue inside the inner walls for a long time, spinning it around and brushing the inner walls.

“Ahhh, Dain. Stop.”

Liana screamed heart-rendingly and grabbed his hair with one hand.

It seemed better to endure when he thrust roughly. When his tongue moved like swimming inside her body, her five senses went numb and her fingertips and toes curled. Despite her cries to stop, his tongue stayed inside the hole for a long time, continuing to brush the inside.

After doing this for a while. Dain, who lay on the bed, placed Liana’s back on top of his stomach.

“Ahhh.”

Liana, who was flustered by what happened in an instant, struggled and screamed. Dain, whose heart was urgent from the long-awaited intercourse, spread her legs wide and pushed his upper c*ck into the hole.

“Hah……”

A sigh of admiration burst from Dain’s mouth at the warm and soft sensation of the inner walls.

When he began thrusting from below, the dark red c*ck going in and out of her p*ssy was nakedly reflected in the large mirror across from the bed. The massive c*ck went back and forth through the tightly spread hole, and the stiffly er*ect lower pillar and t*sticles swayed together.

Splash splash. Every time the upper c*ck entered the hole to the root, the sound the lower pillar made from friction with her p*ssy echoed loudly in the bedroom. Every time the lower pillar curved and knocked against her cl*toris, Liana’s body trembled.

Dain, who glanced at the mirror with his head turned to the side, exhaled roughly and began shaking his hips quickly.

When he grabbed Liana’s white b*ttocks tightly with both hands and lifted them up, he could see more clearly how his c*ck went in and out of her p*ssy. Dain became even more excited by that sight. His rough breathing could be heard vividly in Liana’s ears.

“Ahh, mmm. Hahh.”

Thud thud thud, her cries never ceased from the rapid thrusting. White foam formed at the junction of the two people, then dripped down, wetting his c*ck and t*sticles. Dain, who watched that sight through the mirror, became even more excited and moved his hips at a speed invisible to the eye.

Thump thump. The sound of wet flesh colliding rang out continuously and Liana’s body bounced up into the air. Her br*asts danced, drawing round circles from his overflowing strength. Every time she came down, she collided with Dain’s broad chest with her back and writhed in pleasure.

“Dain, ahh. Too fast.”

“Grr, I can’t help it either.”

Dain, caught in lust, spoke in a low, thick bass voice. He couldn’t control his own body either. He was extremely excited from touching Liana’s body after so long.

He grabbed her pelvis with both hands and thrust even harder.

“Mmm, ahh.”

One of Dain’s hands covered her lower belly. Her belly bulged from above her pubic bone to her navel in the shape of his c*ck. The thrusting speed became even faster.

The gl*ns, big like a child’s fist, crushed and continuously pounded her cervix with thuds. Both were experiencing extreme pleasure. Liana felt her body floating up toward the ceiling, making her head dizzy.

If she were lying face down, she could at least grab the sheets with her tied hands, but being held in the air, she couldn’t grab anything.

The pleasure between her legs transmitted to her whole body like electricity. It felt like all the blood in her body was bubbling up.

“Ahh, ahhh!”

Liana reached climax on top of Dain. Her legs trembled and the inner flesh tightened around his c*ck like gripping it. Dain, who had been pounding his c*ck deep into her inner walls from below, also trembled and cl*maxed.

s*men pooled like a puddle deep inside Liana’s body and white liquid dripped from their junction. Dain, who watched that sight in the mirror, thought it was truly a beautiful scene.

It was fortunate she couldn’t see the mirror. If she saw the n*ked sight in the mirror, she would probably be shocked and faint.

“Hah, Dain.”

Liana’s body on top of him went limp.

“Not yet, Liana. Stay conscious.”

Dain whispered in her ear while kneading her soft br*asts. Today he was too excited, so it must have been hard for her.

But for him, this was just the beginning.

“Mmm.”
