“That…! That was just a fantasy!”

“You must pay the price for fantasizing about me.”

Saying that, he helped Lea put on her clothes. It seemed he meant they should get dressed and leave immediately rather than waste time talking. After buttoning up Lea’s top, Allen quickly put on his own pants.

“Commander, I just realized we don’t have a cap.”

“I have the one Tom gave me in the office.”

“Damn Tom.”

Before Lea could say anything more, Allen picked her up.

The night was deep, and it was time when all the mansion employees had either gone to the annex or returned home. They didn’t need to worry about Edner. Being such a busy Emperor, he had likely finished touring the North by now and collapsed in his mansion.

On the way to the mansion after grabbing a cap from the office, Lea narrowed her eyes and spoke to Allen. He seemed different from before, firmly carrying her without putting her down, almost running toward the mansion though she wasn’t even heavy.

She expected to be pinned down and brought to tears. Who would have thought he would change so drastically? She couldn’t guess what he would be like in bed.

“Are you looking forward to it?”

“……Can’t you avoid reading my thoughts?”

“If I could, I wouldn’t have pounced on my vice commander.”

* * *

The mansion wasn’t far from the training center headquarters. It might have felt that way because they arrived so quickly, but Lea felt she had been laid on Allen’s bed in just a few minutes.

“Commander… the ceiling is quite high.”

How strange that the first thing she noticed upon entering Allen’s room was the ceiling. Lea blurted out this meaningless comment and then met Allen’s eyes.

Allen played with Lea’s hair and whispered,

“What about the bed?”

“It’s very soft, but……”

“But?”

“Yet there’s a hard pepper waiting above, mmph.”

Lea struggled with her mouth covered. Allen had crashed his lips into hers, devouring all her words. He restrained her tongue, sucking all the moisture from her mouth as if to drain it completely, and only separated his lips when he seemed out of breath.

“I see you still have strength to talk.”

“……No, I don’t. Hic.”

Lea blinked, hiccupping.

One more word and she felt she would never escape his arms.

“You know it well, so why say it?”

“Commander, did you perhaps switch bodies with someone? Or are you one of those who transform at night… ugh.”

“Isn’t it you who’s someone else, Vice Commander? You easily imagine embarrassing fantasies in front of people, but your body is too stiff.”

Allen wiped the saliva from Lea’s lips, then moved his hand downward. Lea swallowed hard. Though her position was comfortable, her body tensed up. Allen stroked her collarbone and unbuttoned her top one by one. Lea’s upper body gradually revealed itself, and Allen held his breath.

Unlike his own, her rounded br*asts caught his eye. The n*pples on top, like peaks, resembled delicious fruits. This was a part he hadn’t properly seen in the sparring ground, being too focused on examining her scars. Allen licked his lips.

‘Damn, I want to taste them.’

After some hesitation, he lightly pressed a n*pple. It sank in and then rose again, standing er*ect, giving him a strange sense of exhilaration.

“Mmm……”

Worried about accidentally hurting her, he gently rubbed around it with his thumb, causing Lea to twist her body.

“It tickles……”

In the warm place, Allen’s careful touching of her body heightened her sensations. Allen lowered his hand to her waist and removed her pants. When her bare thighs and underwear were exposed, Allen slipped his hand between her legs.

“Hmph.”

Moving his hand with the thin underwear in between, Lea closed her legs.

“Relax a bit.”

“Hmm, Commander, do you really have to touch there?”

“It’s dried up, so I need to moisten it again.”

Of course, Lea’s lower part hadn’t dried. Despite it still being quite wet, Allen insisted firmly. He smoothly stroked the upper part of Lea’s split crevice with his fingertips. Lea pulled her knees up, feeling Allen’s hand. Her underwear grew wetter. Allen rubbed his thumb and index finger together to check how much fluid was coming out, then straightened up. Lea’s reddened face looked quite pleasing.

When Lea faced his er*ect c*ck again, she turned her head to the side, unable to look at it. Soon that thing would invade her insides again. She didn’t yet have the confidence to handle the visual shock. Allen pulled down Lea’s underwear and spread her legs. Then he tore open the cap beside him and put it on his c*ck. It was frustrating, often fumbling, since it was his first time using one, but otherwise fine. Allen lifted Lea’s legs and positioned himself between them. Unlike doing it from behind, it was difficult to see below, but he had entered her once before. Soon the tip of his gl*ns touched Lea’s split area.

“Hmm… ahh…!”

Lea clutched the blanket and raised her head. He said it wouldn’t hurt. It entered more easily than the first time, but the pain remained the same. Allen exhaled a long breath and completely aligned his groin with Lea’s. Their heated bodies radiated warmth.

Their overlapped bodies moved together. Lea followed Allen’s hip movements, wiggling her fingers.

“Haah……”

The air felt hot. Perhaps due to sweat, sticky sounds echoed. The blanket was getting wet too.

A time came when they focused only on each other. Allen buried his face in Lea’s shoulder. It might have been his imagination, but somehow he felt Lea’s emotions transmitting through their connected bodies. Finding it satisfying, Allen deliberately pulled out halfway what had gone deep inside, then thrust it back in, repeating the motion. His movements grew more intense as he picked up the pace.

The bed rattled up and down. Though Lea found it overwhelming, she didn’t push him away.

One cap wasn’t enough. At some point, the deeply inserted member ej*culated. Allen pulled out his limp p*nis and removed the soggy, floppy cap. When he threw it under the bed, it made a wet, squelching sound.

Fortunately, the box contained several caps. Allen raised his languid body. The c*ck that had fully emptied its contents began filling up again, increasing in size. In that brief moment, Lea lost focus in her eyes, then regained it. When she came to her senses, she saw Allen tearing open another cap.

Lea wasn’t imagining anything. Well, it made sense she had no time to fantasize while repeatedly fainting. Lea only continued to moan. Allen listened attentively to those breaths. Those sounds tickling his ears were more pleasant than any other sound. Surely no sound could be better than this, except perhaps the clash of swords.

They say a thief who learns late doesn’t know when dawn breaks.

Like an addicted person, he clung to Lea, repeating “just one more time, just one more time.” He couldn’t help getting hard just by looking at Lea’s face.

Each time Allen poured everything into her, he fumbled beside the bed, repeatedly taking out new caps.

Just before dawn, the darkest hour.

Allen collapsed on Lea’s body and trembled one last time. Beside the bed lay a crumpled empty box, and Lea closed her eyes slowly, feeling Allen withdraw. She, who would normally be second to none in stamina, completely lost consciousness after using a whole box of caps. Allen still hadn’t emerged from the emotions of being united with Lea.

He surrendered himself to the long afterglow and fell asleep.

* * *

Morning dawned.

Allen frowned at the sunlight shining through the window. He raised his stiff body and poured water to drink, when suddenly he felt a chill.

His head creaked as it turned to the side. Sure enough, Lea was sleeping soundly beside him. He almost spat out the water he was drinking. Allen tried to escape from the bed, then looked down at his bare lower half. He saw his completely n*ked body without a single thread. Shifting his gaze to Lea, she appeared to be in the same state.

‘Crazy…!’

Allen’s mind turned completely white.

The events of the previous night flashed quickly through his mind.

Perhaps because of the bright daylight, belated shame washed over him. Though he wanted to deny it was real, seeing Lea on his bed made that impossible. The marks he had left were clearly visible on her body. Her neck area was red, looking like insect bites, from how much he had bitten and sucked.

Allen held his head in both hands. Even with Lea’s consent, spending the night with his direct subordinate while not in his right mind was a grave mistake to him. He vaguely worried about something like this happening someday, but he never thought he would cause such a major incident.

Filled with self-loathing, Allen checked the current time. It was already well past when the employees would have arrived for work. Fortunately, amid all that chaos, he had locked the door. He couldn’t face them in this state, and moreover, Edner was also staying in this mansion.

Edner had probably knocked on the door at least once.

The thought made him dizzy.

Allen hastily put on his underwear and pants that were scattered on the floor, then headed back to the bed. He needed to wake Lea up first. She was the person he felt most awkward facing right now, but he had no choice. He was the one who had pounced on Lea. He needed to face her and have a serious conversation about this situation. No matter how embarrassing, his character wouldn’t allow him to pretend nothing had happened.
