He had no intention of letting her rest after pushing it all in at once, but for now he agreed with her opinion. Even though he had only pushed in a little more than halfway, this woman was sucking him in with unbelievable tightness for someone supposedly inexperienced.

At first, even inserting one finger had been tight, so she was definitely without experience. Plus her complete ignorance about bedroom matters. She didn’t know things that anyone with even one experience would understand. 

Her knowledge was literally just knowledge—it didn’t extend beyond the educational content the maids had conveyed. Even now, her suggestion to rest after insertion showed this clearly.

‘Telling me to stay still without moving after full insertion. What nonsense.’

Yet she was gripping him this tightly—it was unbelievable. Given this situation, he had two curiosities. First, if she felt this sensitively from the start, just how much pleasure would she give next time? Second, what kind of fool was Maximus Roysel to call such a woman a lifeless stone?

For him, what mattered right now wasn’t how inadequate Maximus Roysel was, but that this woman had such an incredible body that she could instantly captivate him despite his extensive history with women.

Latnon restrained his urge to push in while Ariel took deep breaths and prepared herself mentally. And when Ariel finally said she was ready, he thrust his member in all at once.

“Ahh!”

Ariel buried her face in his shoulder, filled with pain. She trembled from how much it hurt, trying to get used to this unfamiliar agony. Fortunately for her, Latnon was also trembling.

‘I’m not the only one struggling. Even Latnon with all his rumors is shaking like that.’

Feeling an odd sense of kinship, Ariel leaned against him and breathed in and out. Latnon, who had been flinching every time her breath touched him, finally gave up. Waiting for her to stabilize even a little. He couldn’t endure any longer.

“Sorry.”

With that brief apology, Latnon began releasing the passion he had been holding back.

Until now, Latnon had thought being intimate with a woman whose body was stiff was no fun. He found it much more enjoyable to embrace women who were somewhat accustomed to men and therefore knew how to enjoy themselves. 

That’s why when Ariel said she wanted to keep her distance, he had thought it wasn’t disappointing since she wasn’t a woman who knew the kind of pleasure he preferred anyway. Yet he ended up embracing her simply out of stubbornness. Like a trophy for conquering the woman who had dismissed him so coldly.

But now it was completely different. The pleasure Ariel gave was so tremendous that all his previous nights with other women seemed like children’s games. So much so that he almost felt grateful to Maximus Roysel, who had spread false rumors without recognizing her true worth, unaware of his own inadequacy. 

If not for that bastard, he would never have had the chance to embrace Ariel in his lifetime, and then he would never have felt this kind of pleasure until he died.

“H-haah! Latnon…!”

She still seemed to be in pain, unlike him who was feeling pleasure—her face still showed suffering with a furrowed brow. Latnon, belatedly coming to his senses, gently kissed her nape and face all over. Though this didn’t reduce the pain since he was still ruthlessly driving into her below.

“Ariel, don’t be so tense.”

“It hurts.”

That was very troublesome for Latnon. At first, he had planned to end it after just once out of courtesy and experience, but now he felt he couldn’t let her go. At least tonight, he intended to take her until he was satisfied. But what if she kept being in pain?

It was also troublesome for Ariel. Continuing to hurt like this was unwelcome. Though the Naiad teachings said to endure the pain of the wedding night no matter how much it hurt, wasn’t this too severe? How could anyone endure inserting something that size? 

If not for the Naiad teachings and the malicious rumors Maximus Roysel had spread, she might have kicked Latnon away.

Finally, Latnon, who was impatient right now, decided to take a step back.

“If you keep being tense like that, it’ll keep hurting.”

“…Then what should I do?”

“Just a moment.”

Latnon supported his weight with one arm while stroking her cheek with his other hand. Ariel, who had seemed to flinch away, looked at Latnon with a surprised face. But he smiled brightly and kissed her face, like they were truly lovers. 

Somehow her heart fluttered, and when he kissed her several times, Ariel also unconsciously kissed his face in return. She was more surprised than before at this unexpected action of her own.

“Do it more.”

But Latnon naturally requested kisses from her while moving the hand that had been stroking her face down to caress her arms, shoulders, chest, waist, and other places. 

Ariel, who had been awkward, gradually accepted Latnon’s touch, and she too gathered courage to stroke his soft cheeks, firm shoulders, solid arms, and beautifully shaped chest muscles.

As time passed, the tension that had filled Ariel’s body gradually drained away, and instead she even smiled following his lead when their eyes occasionally met. Then she released her grip on the sheets and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Ariel.”

Latnon whispered her name in her ear. And his waist began moving like waves, advancing and retreating. Whether Ariel’s tension had eased, her expression became more comfortable than when he first penetrated. Latnon didn’t miss this change. He pressed firmly with his member against the spot that had reacted most sensitively when he caressed her with his fingers earlier.

“Ahh!”

A much more sensual voice came out compared to when Latnon used his hands, so Ariel quickly closed her mouth. Not knowing what was happening, she rolled her eyes in confusion. Latnon smiled mischievously and asked.

“Does it feel good?”

“I-I’m not sure. It still hurts a bit…”

But she couldn’t exactly explain this strange heat blooming inside her body. It was similar to when he caressed her yet completely different. So if asked whether she disliked it, that wasn’t the case.

“I’ll let you know. Whether it’s good or not.”

Latnon spoke with a confident voice. Women who had learned pleasure once were his specialty, after all.

“Mmh! Ah!”

When pleasure became more prominent than pain in Ariel’s voice, Latnon moved his waist even more skillfully. The more he did, the more her voice leaked out unfiltered.

Right now Ariel wasn’t following the Naiad teachings at all. Crying out so unladylike. The education had said to receive her husband’s lust like she was dead. 

So Ariel tried to suppress her voice somehow, but as Latnon drove her to gasp even more in pleasure, she couldn’t hold back her cries.

“Don’t hold back, Ariel.”

No matter how much she tried to suppress them, the cries burst out, so Ariel tried to cover her mouth with both hands. But Latnon caught both her wrists with his large hands and pinned them to the bed.

Ariel was utterly bewildered by the rough appearance of someone who had just been sweetly kissing her and caressing her with gentle touches. With her wrists caught, she had no choice but to let her cries flow without any resistance.

“Haah! Ah! …Mmh, ahh!”

Ariel found this situation so unfamiliar—lying beneath someone she hadn’t wanted to exchange a single word with until just yesterday, showing a side of herself she had never shown anyone, making sounds she had never heard from herself.

But she didn’t have the leisure to think this was strange. She simply surrendered her body to pleasure she was feeling for the first time in her life. The pain from moments before now felt like a lie as she felt nothing but pleasure. 

She thought she understood why the Naiads had taught her repeatedly to guard against falling into pleasure. Once she fell, it seemed she wouldn’t be able to escape.

“Ariel, can you feel it? Your inside is gripping me amazingly tight.”

“I-I don’t know! Mmh, is that good?”

Latnon held back the laugh that almost escaped. Was that supposed to be a question?

“Yeah. Enough to make me want to praise myself for accepting your ridiculous proposal.”

He also wanted to praise his past self for being stubborn about sleeping with her once. This woman before his eyes wasn’t consciously moving her hips or artificially tightening her inner walls, true to her claim of inexperience. 

But he couldn’t understand how her inside was made to drive him this crazy. Not only that inadequate Maximus Roysel, but no one else would have experienced this.

Until now, when spending nights together, he had to thrust for a long time after insertion to feel pleasure, but he felt it from the moment of first insertion. Unbelievably, he was already feeling the urge to climax. 

Even so, he had the pride of Latnon Harkshien, called the greatest playboy in high society—he had to endure. The only thing preventing him from climaxing was his determination not to reach climax before Ariel, who was having her first experience today. So he drove her even harder.

“Hah, Lat-non. Ah!”

Latnon didn’t even have the leisure to respond to her. The more he drove her, the more she tightened, so his limit was also approaching.

“Haah! Ahh, ah…! Latnon, mmh, Latnon!”

Whether Latnon’s prayers reached heaven, Ariel’s climax came before his. Though no one had taught her, when she reached climax she wrapped her slender legs around Latnon’s waist and pulled him toward her, and her wet breath touched the ear of Latnon who was holding her.

Latnon had planned to release on Ariel’s stomach after she cl*maxed, but Ariel literally squeezed him out, so he ended up climaxing inside her.

It was the first time he had released inside someone, so he was flustered. He had always taken contraceptive medicine himself and released outside to avoid complications. Since contraceptive medicine wasn’t always completely effective, and he wasn’t foolish enough to make women take it, he had been taking the medicine. 

Though Latnon was called a playboy in high society, many dreamed of marrying him due to his ample wealth, marquis status, and attractive appearance. But to release directly inside without even taking contraceptive medicine.

‘I’ve gone crazy.’

Looking over, Ariel was gasping, unable to collect herself from the maddening pleasure. She seemed not to have grasped the situation yet. 

Latnon took out the contraceptive medicine that was always amply prepared beside the guest room bed and put it in his mouth. Then he handed Ariel the women’s contraceptive medicine that was prepared just in case.

“W-what is this?”

“Contraceptive medicine.”

Ariel sat up to receive the medicine, saw the liquid flowing from her intimate area, and immediately put the medicine in her mouth. What she wanted was to silence the rumors, not to create a child with Marquis Harkshien.
