Rihana breathed heavily while looking up at the night sky. As she gazed at the countless twinkling stars in the night sky while listening to the horse’s hoofbeats that had slowed considerably, her heart grew increasingly cold and hard despite her burning body. 

This was because the scene of her fiancé entangled with the Princess, biting and sucking each other in the lounge corridor, suddenly came to mind again.

She knew well that Casian didn’t love her even a little. She also knew that the Princess was constantly targeting him.

If only her childhood love at first sight, nurtured in secret, hadn’t immediately led to asking for an engagement with him when the Emperor offered to grant her anything for her achievements in the northern subjugation, by now Casian would have become the Princess’s fiancé instead of hers.

‘Ah, it’s my fault.’

Only now did she think that her selfishness in wanting Casian was making both him and the Princess suffer.

“You need to focus on my hand, my lady.”

Raiden covered Rihana’s eyes with his large hand. Only then did Rihana realize that tears were flowing from her eyes again.

“Hah…”

Like he could see right through Rihana’s distracted thoughts, Raiden pressed his lips to her earlobe and whispered the words “my lady.”

My lady. He had done this at the Imperial party too, using this title he’d never used before, repeatedly on a day like today. It was a word she heard constantly from servants since becoming the head of the Count’s family, but somehow the words “my lady” coming from this man’s mouth weren’t ordinary. They stirred up strange and exciting sensations. How curious.

The hand that had slipped inside her clothes gently rubbed her curly pubic hair. His fingertips lightly wrapped around it and tugged, then repeatedly rubbed the whole area softly again. Then suddenly, he began penetrating between the split flesh below her v*lva.

“Ah…!”

When startled Rihana tried to close her legs and leaned her upper body forward, his chin pressed down on her shoulder and pulled her toward him, seemingly having expected this.

“Hold this.”

Then he placed the horse’s reins he’d been holding into Rihana’s hands, speaking in a husky voice.

It wasn’t even a request but a purely commanding tone. Though he was making an effort to use respectful language, it was clearly the speech pattern ingrained in nobles’ mouths. This made her even more doubtful whether Raiden was really of slave status.

Come to think of it, the Duchess had called Raiden her most precious one. Could one call a mere slave their most precious? And hadn’t she entrusted only Raiden to her while fleeing so urgently, risking danger? 

She came to understand just how much the Duchess valued Raiden. While she could vaguely infer that it might be the Duchess’s love, she still couldn’t determine whether he truly held the status of a slave.

While Rihana was having such thoughts, Raiden gave her the reins and used his now-free hand to press her chest and gently pull her toward him. 

As Rihana’s body leaned against Raiden’s chest without any gap, he closed the hand pressing her chest and firmly grasped one of Rihana’s br*asts. The hand inside her pants continuously rubbed softly between her split crevice, while the hand gripping her br*ast began to roll it gently and knead it slowly.

“Hah… hah… haah…!”

Even sitting on the horse, his fingers entered smoothly between her split l*bia and teased her below. The hand that swept up from the perineum to the cl*toris was lewd.

When his middle finger swept up the love juices from her thoroughly wet v*lva like wiping them clean, unfamiliar moans flowed from Rihana’s mouth. At her moans, the intensity of the hand kneading her br*ast became noticeably stronger. 

He kneaded her br*ast several more times, then apparently disliking the feeling of touching through the stiff uniform, lowered his hand and invaded inside Rihana’s clothes.

“Mmh!”

When the cold hand touched her hotly burning bare skin, excited moans burst from her mouth involuntarily. The large hand encased her br*ast, which had broken out in goosebumps. Her bare chest touching his palm was helplessly crushed messily in his grip. 

The man who had been continuously kneading her br*ast suddenly raised his index finger and began circling the protruding n*pple.

“Ah!”

At the touch that teased both her n*pples and v*lva simultaneously, Rihana’s body burned hotly. 

Her back touching Raiden’s chest was also burning hot. At this unfamiliar sensation where her lower abdomen felt itchy while her whole body tingled, Rihana’s eyes began to moisten.

The horse’s reins she gripped tightly with both hands had somehow become something she was merely holding. If her beloved horse Zenya hadn’t memorized the way to the County, they surely would have gotten lost in the middle of the forest.

“Mm… mmm…”

The finger that had been persistently caressing the split crevice of her v*lva suddenly attempted to enter between her vaginal opening that had never been opened before.

“Ah!”

Until that moment, Rihana had no idea that the caressing they were doing was merely the beginning stage.

Raiden wrapped his arm around her waist as she sat on the horse and lifted her slightly with his strength, then pushed his middle finger deep inside the split crevice.

“Ah, hah!”

“Hah…”

Raiden’s voice breathing hotly behind her was incredibly lewd. She wasn’t unaware that the hard, hot thing she felt near her b*ttocks was his excited member.

Though this was her first time receiving a man’s touch, she was well-versed enough in theory to have commanded hundreds of men. Of course, this was all because of Letia, her old friend and vice-captain of the knights.

Living with her free-spirited and lustful friend for so long, she had learned about s*x even when she didn’t want to know, and read lewd books even when she didn’t want to read them. 

So when she was younger, she had often imagined having s*x with Casian, whom she had a crush on. Though her fiancé had never laid a finger on her until now.

Well, she understood that part. With so many young ladies of the Empire in gorgeous dresses and beautiful makeup, who would want to embrace a woman who wore uniforms 365 days a year with no makeup, only swinging swords?

This man touching her body and making lewd moans behind her must be unusual. No, perhaps Raiden had a strong sense of duty. Seeing his new master suffering from her fiancé’s affair, he might be willingly providing this service to relieve even a little of that pain.

Anyway, because of his low moans, the inner walls gripping his finger tightened involuntarily, squeezing his middle finger tightly. Rihana began sobbing unconsciously, somehow frightened by the unfamiliar pleasure that was painful yet made her curl her toes.

‘Shall I help you forget, my master?’

She suddenly remembered Raiden covering her eyes in front of the lounge and speaking in a low voice. Having received quite a shock from witnessing her fiancé’s affair with her own eyes, she had no idea that helping her forget meant this, and had allowed him. 

Now this was her clinging to him like his words were a lifeline.

“Huh!”

Raiden rubbed his lips against the forehead of Rihana, who leaned her head against his chest, tilted her chin up, and burst into tearful moans, while rubbing and caressing her n*pple with his thumb and index finger and increasing the speed of his middle finger penetrating the hole that squeezed and bit it.

“No… mm, no…! Hah…!”

When the man’s finger pressed firmly against her inner walls and stirred in circles, Rihana shook her head and sobbed.

“Shh, you shouldn’t say no, you should say it feels good, my lady.”

“Hah, hah… N-no… mmh! Ugh!”

Raiden, who had somehow withdrawn the hand that had been caressing her br*ast, gripped the chin of Rihana, who was shaking her head vigorously in denial.

“May I kiss you?”

Then he asked her in a husky baritone.

Kiss. Rihana’s eyes widened at that word. She had never done it even once. Of course, this kind of act was also her first time, but wasn’t a first kiss precious in a different way?

“I want to suck your tongue.”

“…!”

“If I kiss you while rubbing down here like this, it feels amazing, you know? I’ll make you come hard, so trust me and leave it to me, okay?”

Her face burned up. The vulgar words she had never heard before somehow made her whole body tingle. Raiden’s voice as he uttered those vulgar words was thick with excitement.

Was that why these crude words excited her instead of disgusting her?

Instead of giving permission, Rihana turned her head to look up at him. His sculpted face came down at an angle and captured her lips.

First kiss.

For Rihana, this was the first kiss of her life. Her first kiss was on horseback with the Duchess’s bedroom slave, of all things.

She belatedly thought it was the wrong permission to give, but the tongue that persistently opened her tightly closed lips and slipped in like sliding was softer and warmer than expected, so she soon thought it didn’t matter where or with whom her first kiss was.

Raiden’s hand gripped Rihana’s chin so she couldn’t move and ravaged every corner of her mouth. He bit and sucked her lips like he would devour them, inserted his tongue and thoroughly swept over all her upper and lower teeth. 

He pressed and stabbed at the soft inner walls of her mouth, then captured her small tongue that was lost and didn’t know what to do and pulled it into his mouth.

Rihana trembled her eyebrows and continuously made pained sounds at this intense kiss she was experiencing for the first time. Raiden persistently intertwined with her tongue and sucked in her saliva.

The finger that had filled her below slipped out, then immediately became two and pushed back in. Rihana let out excited cries at the increased number of fingers compared to when they had withdrawn. But all her screaming moans were swallowed into Raiden’s mouth.

Rihana’s mind went white from the dense kiss that made her head blank and the continuous stimulation that stirred her below. 

She felt like she might suffocate in the waves of pleasure Raiden gave her. When his fingertips brushed her sensitive n*pples, electricity flowed through her whole body, making her tingle.

The sensation of her body burning up hotly.

The feeling of dying from shame.

Yet the lewd pleasure she wanted to continue.

Raiden’s lifeline-like words about helping her forget had ultimately meant this.

* * *

“Ahh…! Ah! Mm!”

At Raiden’s touch, continuously stirring inside while stimulating her swollen cl*toris with his thumb, heat rose throughout Rihana’s body. The edge of the forest appeared before her eyes that flickered like sparks flying.

A village with sparse lights. Realizing she had arrived at her territory, Rihana finally came to her senses. Raiden, who had somehow taken back the reins and stopped the horse, withdrew his hand from inside her pants. His fingers glistening with love juices in the moonlight were obscene.

“Shall we do the rest in the bedroom? Or shall we go all the way at once?”

The pleasant baritone stimulated her ears.

All the way. What kind of end was he talking about? 

The end Rihana had learned in theory was climax after penetration. Was penetration possible on horseback? But since this was her first time, having her first time on horseback was a bit…

Shadows of hesitation crossed Rihana’s face. Raiden, seemingly seeing through her heart, rubbed his lips against her pure white nape and whispered:

“Of course, here I’ll only make you come with my hands.”

At the spine-chillingly lewd voice, Rihana truly felt like she was sinking into a swamp.
