Though his lips curled in a mocking smile, his eyes were fierce, like a snake about to devour its prey, glittering with dangerous intensity.

Yul-hye could barely breathe; her chest felt tight with fear.

“You haven’t had your wedding yet, right?”

“Yes.”

“When is your wedding again?”

“In three days.”

“Three days, huh? That’s soon. I’m going to devour the body you’ve carefully preserved for your future husband. Have you ever spread your legs for him?”

Yul-hye shook her head.

“Still a virgin, then.”

“Yes.”

She knew there was no point in begging to be released. If he had any intention of letting her go, she wouldn’t have ended up here in the first place.

No, that wasn’t quite right. She hadn’t been ‘brought’ here – Jung Do-yoon had handed her over willingly.

The one who wanted to take and the one who wanted to serve had joined forces and the result was that she was thrown into this degrading situation.

‘Damn men.’

“You’re a woman who hasn’t yet experienced the taste of a man. Tonight I’m going to teach you what a man tastes like.”

That was the last thing she ever wanted to learn.

The hand that had teased her n*pple moved down, brushing against her most private area. His blunt fingertip pressed against the entrance to her v*gina, slipping just inside.

Startled, Yul-hye instinctively grabbed his hand with both of hers, gripping tightly in a desperate attempt to stop him.

She was horrified. No matter how much she had tried to steel herself, the sudden invasion of her body was something she couldn’t have prepared for.

The Governor, however, seemed amused by her reaction. The corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile, his expression twisting with cruel delight as he began to laugh.

“You’re trembling like a rabbit lost in the winter mountains. And the best way to deal with a rabbit is to pierce its head with an arrow.”

He withdrew his hand and began unfastening the sturdy outer garment he wore.

“If you please me tonight, I’ll give your future husband everything he wants. Remember, whether he gets what he wants or not depends entirely on you.”

‘What Do-yoon wants?’

She scoffed inwardly. If he thought she would go along with this for the sake of that miserable man, he was sorely mistaken. She no longer cared what happened to Do-yoon – he meant nothing to her now.

However, one thing Yul-hye knew for certain: if she angered this man, she might not live to see the morning with her head still intact.

It wasn’t for Do-yoon’s sake, but for her own survival that she decided not to oppose him in any way. Resistance would be pointless. Instead, she decided to remain as submissive as an ox being led to slaughter. Her plan was simple: endure, be trampled, and disappear without a trace when daylight came.

‘It’s just one night. I can bear it.’

She wasn’t enduring this for Jung Do-yoon’s sake—this was for herself. It wasn’t about someone else’s ambitions; it was about her own survival.

Yes, staying alive was the most important thing.

As the man removed his outer clothes, Yul-hye took a deep breath and climbed onto the bed.

The man looked at her, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. Did he see her actions as the devoted sacrifice of a woman for the sake of her husband?

It didn’t matter. Let him think whatever he wanted. All she could do was hope the night would end quickly.

“What on earth is that…?”

Yul-hye’s eyes widened in shock.

As the man removed his outer clothing, his n*ked body was revealed to her in utter horror. Even without the red glow of the candlelight, she could see that his skin was a deep, dark red, a stark contrast to her own pale complexion.

His forearms were as thick as her thighs, and his thighs were even bigger than her head. Beneath his sharply defined abs was a thick patch of dark hair, from which his *rect p*nis protruded, making Yul-hye freeze in disbelief.

‘What… what is that…?’

It was natural for a man of his size to have a large p*nis, but she hadn’t imagined anything that big.

Yul-hye was not so naive that she didn’t know what a man’s anatomy looked like. Although she had never seen one in person, she had occasionally come across illustrations in books.

Not that she had ever sought out lewd or obscene material – such books had simply crossed her path.

She had only ever seen illustrations in medical texts documenting the human body. The male anatomy drawn in those books was nothing like what she saw now.

The p*nis in front of her was as long and thick as her forearm, and the head alone was the size of her fist.

Will I survive this…?

If something like that entered her body, she feared she would be torn apart and die. Even if she managed to survive, she could imagine that her lower body would be so damaged that she might never be able to function normally again.

“Why? Is this the first time you’ve seen a man’s d*ck? Or are you just shocked because it’s the first time you’ve seen one this big?”

The answer was both.

“After tonight, your future husband will never satisfy you again. Once you’ve tasted my c*ck, his won’t even feel like a c*ck. And then you’ll come crawling back and beg me to f*ck you.”

The man spoke as if he knew exactly how things would turn out, but Yul-hye scoffed inwardly.

That will never happen.

Come crawling back and beg him? Even if the sky split in two, such a thing would never happen. She had had enough of men in general, and this one was no exception.

The Governor climbed onto the bed, the weight of his body making the whole frame shake.

He sat down in front of Yul-hye, her n*ked body exposed and unable to hide, and grabbed her knees.

“Ah…!”

With strength in his hands, he forced her knees apart, pushing them outwards. As he pressed down, her thighs were flattened, causing her hips to rise slightly.

Her bright red v*gina was exposed, n*ked before him.

“Ahhh!”

Yul-hye screamed as the man ruthlessly aligned his throbbing p*nis with her entrance and forced himself in. The pain seemed to make sparks explode before her eyes.

Even if a sharp blade had torn through her, it wouldn’t have hurt this much.

The man clicked his tongue in annoyance as he struggled to force himself inside her.
