Now You’re Obsessed - Chapter 30
‘Of course, there are those who strictly follow the rules.’
It might have been easier if such people were around Ariel. At least they would have maintained their purity and not crossed certain lines.
But people like Caelo, who were entrenched in worldly matters, were individuals to be wary of. They could approach Ariel anytime and do all sorts of things. His awareness of them made his male instincts rise sharply.
“I intend to get rid of them soon.”
Sophia’s gaze turned even more pitying at his resolute words. When Lionel looked at her with a puzzled expression, she handed him something as if throwing it.
“I took this from my younger sister.”
Lionel’s expression crumpled when he realized what it was. He didn’t need to flip many pages to know. It was a highly provocative romance novel.
“What is this?”
“Don’t dismiss it lightly. Read it carefully.”
“There’s no reason to….”
“You’ll understand once you read it.”
Lionel read a few lines of the novel without changing his expression. He had learned over the years that Sophia usually had a reason for what she did.
And shortly after, he closed the book with a grim face.
“This is….”
“It’s popular among young ladies these days. Anyone who should know will recognize it.”
Lionel could immediately think of several families capable of producing and spreading such a novel. Most notably, the female protagonist seemed to be modeled after Miss Rivella.
‘The one who’s been weighing me against Rayon.’
In reality, Rivella had often looked at him and Rayon as if she was weighing their worth, but Lionel paid her no attention. The fact that her father was the commander of the Holy Knight Order didn’t impress Lionel much.
Rivella even tried to touch his collar or make a move on him several times, causing Lionel to openly show his anger. Making her the protagonist was ridiculous. To him, the only protagonist could be Ariel.
Sophia spoke with a concerned voice.
“If Miss Tenia reads this book….”
“Let’s hope she didn’t.”
But his hope was just that—a hope.
A while later, he received a report from someone secretly monitoring Ariel that she seemed to be reading the problematic romance novel. Lionel bit his lip, pondering how to resolve this issue.
One evening, as he was brooding over it, Lionel returned to his room in a foul mood after engaging in social activities he didn’t care for.
“Haa.”
A frustrated sigh escaped him as he sat on the sofa. If it had been a regular day, he would have had tea time with Ariel after returning from the subjugation.
That day, his father had pulled the commander of the Holy Knight Order and the subjugation team into a banquet. It was undoubtedly to cater to the commander’s recent interest in his sons.
‘You’re truly beautiful, my lord.’
‘…I have someone I’ve promised my future to.’
His mood worsened after pushing away Miss Rivella’s hand, which had subtly touched his body again. Drinking more than usual made his head throb.
He could use holy power to clear his head, but he didn’t want to. It was a time he could barely endure without being intoxicated. He desperately wanted to see Ariel, the only woman who could be his protagonist.
‘But not now.’
He knew he was irrational due to his drunkenness and bad mood. He needed to wait until the next day when he was clear-headed and when Ariel visited.
‘Or maybe this time.’
It might be good for him to visit her first.
While thinking that, he unknowingly fell asleep.
And when he woke up….
He realized his hand was gripping Ariel’s shoulder. Slowly, he took in the situation.
‘Did I end up hurting her?’
As he panicked and tried to send Ariel away, who was asking to share his holy power, something entirely unexpected happened.
“Ari, el…!”
The moment he saw Ariel holding, shaking, and sucking his c*ck, Lionel felt an overwhelming impulse.
He wanted to leave his mark inside this wet, small mouth that had taken him in. He wanted to push deeper until tears formed at the corners of her eyes and dirty her insides.
Not just her mouth….
His intoxicated gaze traveled down Ariel’s body. Unlike when she was younger, her now full, white br*asts, her waist that seemed to fit perfectly in his hands, and the always plump flesh below.
How good would it feel to part that flesh and thrust himself in between? How sweet and erotic would Ariel’s face be as she struggled to take him in?
The dreams he had of Ariel, which had become more explicit since coming of age, surfaced vividly. He wanted to ruin her body, crush it, and crawl inside her.
At the same time, not wanting to destroy her, Lionel suppressed his desires as much as possible and accepted her caresses. He felt that if he moved even a little in this situation, he would truly end up violating her until she reached her limit.
‘This is why I said next time.’
Because he feared he would lose control and assault her. That’s why he had said next time, that he would create an opportunity.
Still, a sliver of rationality remained. He didn’t want to hurt Ariel, who was experiencing this for the first time. Holding onto that thin thread of rationality, his hands couldn’t properly touch her.
While he was hesitating, his member twitched and ej*culated. The moment she took his seed into her mouth, a delighted sigh escaped his lips.
‘Ariel….’
Ariel had sucked and swallowed his seed. Not anyone else, but his Ariel.
The sight, unbelievably thrilling no matter how many times he saw it, caused his holy power to burst out like an explosion. His intoxication vanished instantly. At the same time, tears of exhilaration unknowingly flowed.
“…I’m sorry.”
Ariel abruptly stood up and left, not knowing what had gone wrong. Lionel was greatly flustered.
“Wait! Ariel!”
He hurriedly cleaned up and chased after her but found it difficult to even see her face as a series of incidents erupted at the Marquis Tenia’s residence.
‘I can’t delay any longer.’
Even as he continuously sent marriage proposals to the Marquis’s residence, Lionel often looked at the romance novel. It had become a habit after realizing that Ariel had read it and had performed the acts described in it on him.
“Vulgar and filthy.”
He didn’t like the version of himself in the novel, who mingled with women other than Ariel. Seeing the fictional him lust after other women and desperately want to sleep with them was utterly repulsive. Watching himself utter words he would never have thought of, let alone spoken, was absurd.
Still, he didn’t stop reading the book. If Ariel had learned from it, he needed to match her level.
‘So this is what you like, Ariel.’
Lionel diligently learned and absorbed it. Now, all he needed was for Ariel to read his marriage proposal. Once they were married, he planned to fully indulge in these acts with her.
But the news that came back was about her plans to go to Veloto.
“Miss Ariel is planning to go to Veloto after graduation.”
That’s what the person he had placed to monitor her reported.
‘Ariel… to Veloto?’
For a moment, his vision turned yellow. Why now? Why would she go to Veloto and leave him behind? Is that why she didn’t respond to the marriage proposals? Is that why she kept delaying meeting him? Why?
‘…Caelo.’
It was clear that bastard had influenced her. Moreover, his efforts to block her from joining the subjugation team had also contributed to her choosing a completely different path. Lionel belatedly regretted it.
‘I should have kept her close.’
He should have protected her thoroughly, ensuring she didn’t get hurt, taken her with him every night under the pretext of sharing holy power, kissed her, and claimed her delicate, beautiful body.
Even as he clenched his teeth, he repeatedly sought opportunities to meet Ariel but to no avail. Eventually, Lionel went to see the commanders who oversaw the subjugation team’s admissions.
“Lord Frenderick, what brings you here….”
“About the matter I requested.”
“Ah, you mean asking us to reject Miss Tenia’s admission?”
In fact, it had been over a year since Ariel qualified to join the subjugation team. Lionel had been using his and Frenderick’s influence to block her entry, fearing she might get hurt.
“Please allow her to pass this time.”
The commanders seemed curious about Lionel’s change of heart but didn’t dare ask. Lionel was a difficult man for them as well.
‘If you intend to run away, Ariel.’
It was Lionel’s job to ensure she couldn’t. After making him believe they would marry, she now planned to leave for a place beyond his reach with another man.
‘I won’t let that happen.’
It was a belated excuse, but his initial plan was to isolate them so they could have a serious conversation. He was confident he could persuade Ariel. He had always listened to her, so it was time for him to speak to her firmly. Ariel would surely listen to him.
“Sophia, I need your help with something.”
“What is it?”
Sophia, though skeptical, agreed to Lionel’s request to have a conversation with Ariel. She would help him lead the others away to a noisy but relatively safe area with minor monsters.
‘Wait for me, Ariel.’
Just one more step to go.
