She was so terrified that her body stiffened, her muscles clenching involuntarily. As a result, Belita bit down hard on Rian’s c*ck.
Rian’s face contorted grotesquely as she tightened her grip on his c*ck, trembling as if she were about to bite it off. His brows furrowed, but the corners of his lips curled up. Why was she so scared? She was frustrating, yet he couldn’t help but want to torment her even more.
“Ahem!”
“!”
Belita gasped and held her breath at Rian’s sudden, unexpected cough. Startled, she buried her face in his shoulder and trembled. At that moment, the footsteps stopped, and a cautious voice spoke.
“Who’s there…?”
Victor…!?
The owner of the footsteps was one of the knights of the Grand Duke’s estate. And of all people, it had to be the knight who escorted her when she went out, so Belita recognized his voice instantly. It seemed he was just getting off duty.
What the…? Then where were they…? This lunatic!
Belita, who had been out of her mind ever since they left the dining room, and whose mind had gone blank after Rian’s sudden actions, finally realized where she was.
Rian had taken her to the hallway on the floor where the senior knights who guarded the mansion resided. As the realization dawned on her, Belita felt a chill run down her spine at Rian’s outrageous audacity.
“Who’s there!?”
The cautious voice boomed. At this rate, he’d wake up all the sleeping knights. When Rian remained silent, Belita jabbed him in the chest with all her might. Her frantic gesture urged him to answer before the knight came any closer.
The footsteps started moving again. Belita felt tears welling up in her eyes, dreading the situation. She couldn’t bear to be seen like this by her subordinates, whom she saw every day. She poked and prodded at his firm chest, her fingers aching, but Rian still didn’t react.
What do I do…. What do I do…!
Just when she wished she could faint and escape this ordeal, a chilling voice echoed down the hallway.
“Stop right there.”
“W-Who’s th-there!? Y-Your Grace…?”
Fortunately, the footsteps stopped at Rian’s command. She was so grateful that the knight, being a knight, obeyed his lord’s orders without question.
“You’re late.”
“I-I apologize. I’m on my way……”
“I left my clothes in the dining room. Bring them to my room.”
“……Yes, Your Grace!”
After a brief hesitation, the sound of hurried footsteps faded away. Only then did Belita relax, her sweat-drenched body going limp. She felt completely drained. It was as if her mind had shut down after experiencing such extreme fear.
“How was it? You squeezed me so hard when Victor showed up. I thought I was going to cum, you know?”
His voice, chuckling as if he had just played a fun game, rang in her ears. Even in her fading consciousness, Belita heard Rian’s crazy words and expressed her true feelings without filter in a raspy voice.
“You’re a crazy bastard. Just go to hell……”
And with that, her head lolled to the side.
“……Ha, you’re something else.”
Rian, his lips stretched into a wide grin, chuckled as he looked at the increasingly heavy rain.
* * *
“Gasp!”
Belita, who had been having a nightmare all night about running away from a monster that was trying to devour her, finally opened her eyes just as the monster’s jaws were about to swallow her whole. Her entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and her heart was still racing erratically.
“Ha……”
She exhaled deeply and slowly turned her head to look out the window. She felt like she wouldn’t believe this nightmare was over until she saw the bright sun.
Huh…?
But she couldn’t see outside. The curtains, which had never been drawn before, were blocking the window. In an instant, goosebumps erupted all over her body. The sound of steady breathing in her ear sent shivers down her spine. And then, a voice she didn’t want to hear brought her fully awake.
“Good morning, wife.”
Her heart, which had plummeted to her stomach, felt like it had stopped completely. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking. Belita
Her heart dropped and felt like it had completely stopped. No, perhaps that was what she wished for. Belita was once again gripped by fear, so much that she wished her breath would stop right there. The nightmare hadn’t ended. The monster that had chased her all night had become reality, opening its maw right beside her.
Unable to turn away from the window she was staring at, Belita, frozen in place, could only breathe in short, wheezing breaths. Only one thought filled her dizzy mind.
Why…? Why is this man here…? Why hasn’t he disappeared!?
“Are you so happy that I’m still here? So much that you can’t even look at me?”
At the playful voice filled with laughter, Belita tightly shut her eyes. The curtains were drawn, and this man’s presence meant that the rain hadn’t stopped yet.
Rumble……!
As if mocking her realization, the hateful thunder rolled at just that moment.
“Heheh, what should we do? I wanted to disappear as my wife wished, but someone’s not helping.”
Belita merely kept her mouth shut at the man’s sneering. She had nothing to say, and besides, her breath was so caught in her throat that she couldn’t even make a sound.
Rian’s eyebrow twitched at Belita’s behavior as she kept staring at the window with nothing to see, giving no response. He had expected her to stare with frightened round eyes and whimper, but her stiff posture like a dead log and her ignoring his words didn’t sit well with him at all.
“Look at me, Belita. I hate being ignored the most.”
Laughter disappeared from Rian’s voice. His breathing grew rough between his growling words.
“It would be better not to keep provoking me.”
“……”
The man’s fingers traced down her nape.
“Should I make you spread your legs in the middle of the training ground this time? Hmm? Is that what you want?”
“……Why are you doing this to me…?”
Her voice trembled finely as if choked. However, her eyes stared at Rian emptily, as if she had become detached while facing death. Belita’s eyes no longer showed fear or terror.
The corner of Rian’s sneering mouth returned to its place at her unfamiliar gaze. With his smile gone, he looked like the original Rian. But she wasn’t fooled. Such curiosity had never been in her husband’s eyes when he looked at her.
“Why, you ask? I don’t understand what you mean?”
The corner of his mouth curled up again into a sneer. He seemed to find the whole situation simply amusing and enjoyable.
“Who are you?”
“I told you that’s your homework.”
“I’m not interested enough in you to dig into who you are. So just tell me.”
A firm voice without even a tremor. As if determined not to back down anymore, her pink eyes darkened intensely.
“……Pfft! Hahaha!”
After briefly frowning, Rian burst into maniacal laughter. This made Belita frown instead.
“Ah… this is fun, isn’t it? You’re not afraid of me anymore, it seems?”
“Did you want me to be afraid…? But I’m sorry, what can I do? I’m not afraid of you anymore.”
“I see. Then why are you trembling like this?”
The man’s upper body slowly rose from where he had been casually resting his head on his arm while dealing with Belita. Then, like a monster about to devour her again, his large shadow covered her body.
I’m not scared!
Yes, this trembling was just her inner fear running wild on its own, while her reason constantly repeated that she wasn’t afraid of him. Her stiffened body jerked at the man’s breath touching her nape. Even if her reason denied it, her instincts couldn’t help but react to the fear he had instilled.
Though she wanted to push him away immediately, she held back. She now knew that the more she did so, the more she would be walking into the trap he had set. He found amusement in her fear. And he would create even worse situations to play with her.
She had no intention of dancing to his crazy tune anymore.
“Not going to resist?”
“Do I have to?”
“……Hmm, what are you thinking?”
“Nothing at all.”
“Sounds like you’re saying you won’t care what I do?”
“You’re not stupid, I see.”
Rian’s mouth twitched at Belita’s provocation. His face gradually turned irritated, seemingly displeased with this unfamiliar situation. Though she had blurted it out with a ‘come what may’ attitude, once she actually did it, her heart started pounding wildly. It felt like wiggling her bottom while holding food in front of a starving beast.
It’s okay…. It’s okay……
“Fine.”
“Ha.”
Belita let out a short breath she had been holding at Rian’s sudden word of affirmation. However, unable to gauge its meaning, she remained on guard.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
“……”
“Act like this every time you see me from now on. Then I’ll try acting like that stupid Rian too. But if.”
