“When your sight is blocked, other senses become more sensitive.”

“But I don’t want to become any more sensitive than this.”

“That means you’re already quite on edge right now.”

There was laughter in Ivlik’s voice. He tied the scarf behind Cedine’s head. As soon as she heard him say to endure without taking it off until it was all over, Cedine felt like she was dying to remove the blindfold. Of course, other senses become more sensitive when sight is blocked. Because it makes you feel uneasy.

“Why are you trembling so much, Cedine?”

“I’m not trembling.”

“You are trembling. The fine hairs on your slender shoulders are standing up. Your breathing is shallow and unstable.”

“That’s, ah…!”

Ivlik firmly grasped Cedine’s br*ast. As he slowly rubbed her n*pple between his fingers, a prominent shape appeared through the negligee. The sensation of being stimulated through the clothes was ticklish.

‘Always just one side…’

As Cedine twisted her body at the persistent rubbing and tapping of the tip, suddenly something touched her stomach. She could feel Ivlik’s hot breath through the thin negligee. He scattered kisses on the smooth, glossy fabric. The kisses themselves were just a bit ticklish, but the feeling of his nose tip touching her stomach was very strange.

“Hm? Ah, wait…! Ivlik, you’re, you’re going too low.”

The lips that had been lingering on Cedine’s stomach gradually moved lower. He took Cedine’s plump mound into his mouth over the negligee. As she felt the flesh being slightly sucked into his mouth, Cedine reflexively tried to push his face away.

“Don’t you want to feel good?”

Ivlik whispered softly.

“It felt so good when I touched you with my hand. What if I lick there with my tongue?”

“Ah…”

“With a warm, soft, wet tongue.”

Every time Ivlik deliberately paused between words, she imagined that exact sensation d. The strength gradually left Cedine’s hand that had been stretched out to push him away.

“Imagine how it would feel to lick Cedine’s warm, soft, and moist lower part. If I roll your cl*toris with the pointed tip of my tongue and then flick it lightly.”

His hand, which had been persistently stimulating one br*ast, was now climbing up the back of Cedine’s thigh. The sensation of bare skin touching was lewd. Her shameless husband’s hand went inside the negligee and cupped Cedine’s b*ttocks.

“How sweet it will be.”

Ivlik slowly pushed up the negligee with both hands. The flowing, silky nightgown went over Cedine’s head and fell to her feet with a soft thud. She could feel his gaze intently staring at her body, devoid of any underwear. Cedine felt like asking him to turn off the lights.

“Cedine, other people think we’ve been connected since last summer. They believe I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you.”

The word ‘love’ coming from Ivlik’s mouth sounded unfamiliar. It seemed somewhat inappropriate. Especially in a situation like now, where his moist breath brushed against her thighs with every word he spoke.

“That’s just, people talking nonsense, isn’t it?”

“But someone must have started the rumor first.”

Cedine felt Ivlik come even closer than before. If he just lifted his chin a little, he could immediately stimulate her private parts. Cedine tried to grasp the hem of her negligee, only to realize anew that she was completely n*ked.

“Actually, I spread that rumor.”

Ivlik grabbed Cedine’s b*ttocks and pulled her towards him.

“And it’s also true. From the moment I first saw you, Cedine, I wanted to… bury my face here like this. You looked just like a juicy fruit, making me thirsty.”

“What do you mean…?”

“When we came out of the workshop after finding the ring last time. You asked me why I was speaking formally, unlike during training. I remember saying something similar back then. If I didn’t consciously create distance between us by using an intimidating tone, it was a bit… dangerous.”

He also said he wanted to ask her out on a date throughout the training period. Cedine shook her head slightly. She was so surprised to hear it that she became suspicious first. She wondered if it was just sweet talk whispered deliberately to lower her guard.

That thought hasn’t changed even now. Because if she doesn’t doubt it like that, she’d have no choice but to believe Ivlik’s words are true.

‘If it’s true… Then what was it when he treated me as his sister-in-law for years? Always treating me like a child who needs pocket money, and speaking as if I wouldn’t understand, sighing briefly mid-sentence. What was that all about…?’

Ivlik seemed to notice Cedine’s confusion.

“You don’t seem to believe my confession.”

“Would you believe it if you were in my position?”

“I suppose not.”

Ivlik nodded as if he couldn’t help it.

“My karma is quite heavy. Even if you can’t believe anything… I understand, Cedine. I didn’t mean to rush you impatiently to understand my sincerity.”

It felt familiar. That tone again. It was the same as what she heard just before she died. Cedine found Ivlik’s tone, which seemed to go beyond bitterness to regret, strange. She thought that someone who had done nothing wrong didn’t need to be so self-deprecating.

Ivlik buried his face in Cedine’s private parts. The soft flesh lightly licked the cl*toris hidden beneath the mound. Cedine chose to hold back her voice completely, fearing she might make too loud a sound if she opened her mouth.

‘Fingers were good, but this is too…’

It was a vivid pleasure. If it continues like this, she’ll end up shaking her hips and letting out a shrill cry within a minute. Just as that sense of crisis washed over her, Ivlik’s tongue licked her cl*toris long and slow once more.

The swollen round bead was dragged up along his tongue, then snapped back into place. The pleasure that seemed to swirl and spread from inside the small bead was overwhelming. Cedine tried to endure somehow, curling her toes in her slippers.

“It’s already flowing out.”

“That’s not…”

“Here, Cedine. This.”

Ivlik tilted his head back and pressed his face completely against Cedine’s p*ssy. As he dug in deeper, Cedine’s posture became more precarious. At this rate, she felt like she might end up pressing Ivlik’s mouth down onto her private parts.

“Iv, lik… I want to lie down. Ah, ugh, Ivlik, at least let me sit…”

Cedine curled up, letting out a thin moan. Her legs kept trying to give out. The posture with nothing to lean on made Cedine even more anxious.

However, Ivlik only stimulated Cedine’s lower part more, as if telling her it was okay to sit on his face. Cedine trembled at the feeling of his tongue tip parting her wet crevice. The warm flesh gently prodded the spongy inner walls, then curled its tip like a hook to scrape up her love juices.

“Hnngh… Ugh, aah…”

He had said she was like a juicy fruit, and now Ivlik was really sucking on Cedine’s lower part. The lewd sound of him swallowing her flowing juices down his throat tormented Cedine. Moreover, the place his tongue was greedily scraping was, of all places, the most delicate and sensitive spot on her inner walls. A new pleasure, different from when her cl*toris was rubbed, pooled inside Cedine.

“Ha, aah, Ivlik, ah… I’m now, hah… T-take your mouth off. Ah, no… Aaah!”

Due to his lips pressing tightly against her p*ssy, the area around her vaginal opening temporarily became a vacuum. Cedine curled her body at the feeling of even her softened inner walls being sucked. Her fingers dug into Ivlik’s blue hair. It was a pleasure she couldn’t endure without grasping onto something.

“Hnngh…”

After experiencing a climax that hit her in such a precarious position, Cedine finally went limp. Ivlik lightly lifted and embraced her just before she was about to fall forward. The soft feeling of the mattress against her back had never been so welcome. Cedine exhaled in relief and let her head fall limply to the side.

Ivlik spread her legs, which felt as heavy as water-logged cotton. She could feel him positioning himself between her legs spread towards him. The feeling of his manhood gently touching her soaking wet private parts was unfamiliar. He pressed down slightly, putting a bit of his weight on the point of contact. When her bright red l*bia, still lingering in the afterglow of climax, were lightly pressed, a soft moan escaped Cedine’s lips. Until then, Cedine had thought he would insert it right away.

‘…What is he doing?’

Ivlik raised both of Cedine’s limp arms above her head. He wrapped a velvet ribbon so soft it made her body curl up instinctively around Cedine’s left forearm, then tied her right wrist as well. When Ivlik experimentally tugged on the ribbon, the slightly loose binding became taut.

“How is it? Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt… but the constricting feeling is a bit uncomfortable.”

“That can’t be helped. It’s natural to feel strange when you’re tied up like this.”

Ivlik’s fingers touched her cheek. He slowly caressed Cedine’s cheek while exhaling a languid sigh.

“You don’t know how beautiful you are right now, Cedine…”

“I suppose not. Since my eyes are covered.”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Cedine’s tone.

“I can’t see, and now my wrists are tied too. Does this mean I’m not supposed to do anything?”
