Chapter 19

“No? But you did this to me before.”

She blinked with wide eyes and asked. He finally parted his lips.

“Don’t. I don’t want you to do this for me.”

Of course, he’d wanted to feel her lips on him someday, but not like this.

Theo shook his head, summoning all his patience.

“Is it bad?”

“No, it’s not that……”

“Then it’s fine.”

She pushed away his hand and settled herself beneath him again. Grabbing her hair in one hand as he had done, she stuck out her tongue and licked his tip.

“Ugh!”

She felt a strange thrill as his body bent.

As she took his member into her mouth and rolled her tongue around it like candy, it grew even harder.

“Hng! Rosie, s-stop!”

But Rosie couldn’t stop. She liked the m*ans he made at her touch. Rosie sucked him in deeper.

“Ha.”

His m*ans grew thicker. As she tried to take him even deeper, her body was suddenly lifted and the tables turned.

“I really meant to let you sleep nicely.”

He growled, pulling her nightgown down with hurried hands.

Her full br*asts were exposed, and his lips immediately latched onto her hardened n*pple.

“Mm, ha!”

Her sensitive body welcomed his touch. His fingers teased her entrance.

He smiled faintly as he felt how wet she already was. Soon, his fingers pushed inside her with no resistance.

She could hear the embarrassing wet sounds clearly.

He showered her chest with little kisses, slowly moving lower.

“Ha, ah!”

Rosie’s hips jerked as Theo’s tongue licked her intimate spot.

He teased her entrance with his tongue, as if he wanted to go inside too.

“Don’t…… It’s weird. That’s weird.”

Despite her protest, he didn’t stop. She felt his fingers spreading inside her, and then his hot tongue pushed between them.

“Theo!”

He started licking and sucking her fl*ids as if he enjoyed the taste. The movement of his tongue and fingers was overwhelmingly stimulating.

Rosie gathered what strength she had left and pushed his head away.

“Mm, this is weird. Stop.”

His tongue left her entrance and began stimulating her cl*toris. With the obstruction gone, his fingers moved faster. Her hips trembled.

“Theo, stop this…… Something else. Hurry.”

“Something else?”

He spoke without lifting his lips from her cl*toris.

The tingling sensation drove her wild.

“Tell me. What do you want?”

His whispered, hot breath seemed to pull Rosie deeper into the abyss.

“You, put it in.”

His tongue licked her entrance again. Her fl*ids, already abundant, threatened to spill out.

“What?”

Rosie bit her lower lip and lifted her hips.

“You, really.”

She couldn’t finish her sentence. Her stimulated cl*toris was as hard as it could get.

She needed him.

Rosie managed to move her tongue and speak.

“Theo, quickly. Put it in. Hurry.”

“Not my fingers?”

“No, not that.”

“What else then?”

Now he even laughed lazily, and Rosie, frustrated, hit his shoulder hard.

“You, seriously!”

But Rosie was the one desperate now. She wanted him inside. She lowered her hands and spread her hips apart.

“Hurry. Hurry, thr*st into me.”

His expression changed, and he didn’t hesitate to split her and enter all at once.

“Ah!”

She loved the feeling of being completely filled.

She loved the way his member thr*st into her without stopping.

He pressed her shoulders down and started thrusting harder.

He relentlessly struck the most sensitive spot hidden inside her.

Her body, now completely surrendered, moved to his rhythm.

“Ah! Yes. Theo. It feels so good.”

With the feeling of something bursting and waves of pleasure crashing over her, Rosie was consumed.

With her loud m*ans, his strong upward thr*sts finally stopped.

Theo, panting and holding her tightly, kissed her forehead.

Rosie’s consciousness slowly sank, as if she were slipping beneath the surface. And faintly, she thought she heard Theo whisper.

“I love you, Rosie.”

* * *

Rosie blinked her sleepy eyes slowly. Outside the window, leaves danced in the wind.

As she stared blankly, she heard the door open behind her. Theo approached the bed with a tray.

“You should eat something. It’s already noon.”

With a kiss on her shoulder as a signal, Rosie stretched languidly. Theo waited patiently as she sat up and handed her a cup. When she finished the water and gave it back, he popped a piece of fruit into her mouth.

Rosie puffed up one cheek as she chewed the fruit. Theo’s gaze was endlessly gentle.

She realized her hair and face must be a mess after just waking.

After chewing and swallowing the fruit, she opened her mouth,

“I’ll eat……”

But instead of an answer, another piece of fruit entered her mouth. She frowned as she chewed, and Theo laughed quietly.

“Just eat. After you’re done, let’s go for a walk in front, by the stream.”

Rosie nodded, cheeks full of fruit.

When she finished the plate, Theo kissed her lightly.

“Sweet.”

His smooth lips made her blush.

“Wash up and come out.”

He ruffled her hair and left with the tray, just as he’d entered.

‘This is nice.’

His gentle gaze, caring touch, affectionate kisses.

But was it really okay to feel this good?

She remembered the words she’d vaguely heard last night. Was it a dream?

Still sitting on the bed, Rosie hurried to get up.

“Time to go to the stream.”

Even though she rushed, Theo was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs, ready.

Following him down a little path, they reached the stream, which flowed with a clear sound.

The fresh air of the forest and the cool water sounds—even walking with Theo.

‘This must be what perfect feels like.’

She took a deep breath.

She remembered how annoyed she’d been when walking with Calvin. Of course, he’d been too pushy, but still.

Unlike last night, when they’d been so close, Theo walked a step away from her.

She wanted to hold his hand, but couldn’t find the courage.

It was strange. Theo had been her friend since childhood, so asking for something wasn’t unusual.

If the path was rough, asking him to hold her hand wasn’t a big deal. In the square, most ladies walked holding a gentleman’s arm. It wasn’t improper at all. Besides, no one else was here but them.

Still, she couldn’t say it. Her legs even felt awkward.

Suddenly, Rosie’s foot slipped and her body lurched.

“Careful.”

Theo caught her waist with one hand and tilted his head.

“Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”

“Yeah. I’m fine.”

Rosie glanced away from his gray eyes, which were close, and hurried ahead. Theo quickly caught up and grabbed her hand.

“Let’s go together. You might fall.”

Rosie tried to hide her twitching lips and stared at him.

“Are you always this kind?”

Theo snorted.

“Have you ever seen me be kind to anyone else?”

Theo was a bit cold with people. Rosie knew that best.

So what was this Theo now? What was he doing?

The walk ended with mixed feelings.

Time at the villa was leisurely and comfortable.

While Theo looked at papers, Rosie lay with her head on his lap and read. If she got sleepy, she napped whenever she wanted.

Even in her sleep, she felt his hand gently stroking her hair. The feather-light touch showed his care, making sure she wouldn’t wake.

She had to do everything herself at the villa, but thanks to Theo’s attentiveness, nothing was inconvenient.

Talking about books they’d read was fun. Theo had a knack for seeing things from different perspectives.

It had already been five days since they arrived at the villa.

Rosie now sat on the kitchen counter, swinging her legs and watching Theo.

“You can cook?”

“Just this.”

He skillfully placed vegetables prepared by a servant into a hot pan.

“Sometimes, when I wandered into the kitchen, Tom would cook snacks right there, and I loved the smell, so I watched often. Mother hated it, so she banned me from the kitchen, but I learned this one thing.”

“Since there’s no servant, I get to see this side of you. The Duke’s son is cooking.”

This was truly a sight only Rosie could see. She happily munched a cookie and smiled.

“The Earldom’s young lady sitting on the counter is just as special.”
