Chapter 10. The Duke Wants To

“Thank you for your hospitality, Baron Polar.”

Though they had resolved their long misunderstanding in the carriage yesterday, they hadn’t had time to be alone since returning to the Polar mansion. Ronais and Murina, upon learning that the two had reconciled, mischievously followed them around, interfering. They kept knocking on Lariella’s door at all hours, taking revenge on the Duke of Elmano who had disturbed the sound sleep of the Polar mansion’s residents for days.

Thanks to them, Kais had to spend the night groaning in another room despite having Lariella so close. He finished preparing to leave before dawn.

Ronais bid farewell to the two with very proper words of warning.

“If I receive another tear-stained letter from Lariella, I will climb the walls of Elmano Castle in the dead of night to bring her back. And I will never return her.”

Knowing that his words were no empty threat, Kais reassured Ronais with his most serious tone.

“That will never happen again. I swear on the honor of House Elmano.”

Receiving the farewell of the Polar mansion’s people, Kais mounted the horse he had ridden with Lariella. His heart was too impatient to wait for the Elmano family carriage to arrive.

The horse carrying the two quickly left the Polar territory and galloped down a secluded mountain path.

Lariella fidgeted awkwardly with Kais’s broad chest pressed firmly against her back, but there was nowhere to escape on the narrow horseback.

“Where are we going now? Aren’t we going to Elmano Castle?”

Ten days since he sent her away from Elmano Castle, and another five days at the Polar mansion.

After sharing their first kiss in the cramped carriage yesterday and barely managing to part from her wet lips, he had used up the last piece of patience he possessed.

And in this state, going to Elmano Castle by carriage would take more than three days? Impossible.

“About an hour from here, I’ve prepared a villa at the foot of Mount Evotte. There’s a large lake in front and a small forest behind, making it a good place to stay and rest for a few days.”

Last week, Kais had purchased a mansion not far from the Polar territory. It was a quiet and cozy place where he could spend time alone with Lariella without anyone’s interference. He kept the servants to a minimum, and even they were instructed to move quietly, out of the couple’s sight.

He felt proud of his perfect preparation as he gripped the reins tightly. It felt unbelievably good to have her small body nestled snugly in his arms.

“But when you came to the Polar territory. You said you came more than five times. Did you just watch me reading books from the second floor of the inn every time?”

Lariella, nestled in his arms, kept fidgeting awkwardly while chattering her curious questions.

Kais shifted the reins to one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist.

“Well, to be precise, it was six times, Lariella. And truthfully, I didn’t just watch you reading books. I couldn’t tell you everything yesterday because the children were there……”

Kais gently pulled Lariella’s waist closer to his body. His c*ck, which had already been half-er*ect since they departed, trembled greatly and became completely hard.

Lariella, sitting in her thin muslin dress, was startled by the firm presence suddenly poking her lower back and jerked her hips. This caused Kais behind her to let out a violent groan.

“Ugh……”

Lariella clearly realized what was poking her.

Various objects flashed through her mind—a key, a wooden rod, a scabbard, a club—before the image of the large c*ck that Kais had gripped and shaken frantically that dawn appeared vividly.

Suddenly, heat rose from her stomach and her entire body grew hot. Her face must have turned bright red too. She thought it was extremely fortunate that she wasn’t facing him right now.

But Kais had already noticed that Lariella’s earlobes and nape had turned bright red in an instant. The moment he realized she was flustered by the hard foreign object touching her back, Kais felt incredibly mischievous.

He pressed his lips close to her reddened earlobe and whispered softly.

“Do you know what this is?”

When Kais’s hot breath tickled her ears, Lariella shrank her shoulders in bewilderment. Her reaction further stimulated his lust.

“Men have this thing called a c*ck that grows large and hard whenever they get excited. This right here.”

He tightly embraced Lariella’s lower abdomen and slowly rotated his hips. His c*ck raised its head more fiercely, feeling the soft b*ttocks vaguely through several layers of fabric.

“Let me tell you what I did in the Polar territory. I was stroking my c*ck while listening to you reading books to children.”

Kais lightly bit Lariella’s neck, which had turned as red as it possibly could. The sweet scent spread inside his mouth, and his excited hips moved on their own.

He explicitly rubbed his swollen c*ck between her plump b*ttocks while continuing to spout lewd words.

“Once I was so excited that no matter how much s*men I released, my c*ck wouldn’t go down. So I rubbed it frantically until the skin got chafed. It was so badly chafed that I couldn’t even ride a horse, so I had to lie in the inn for two days and missed the imperial ball.”

What had started simply as teasing was becoming increasingly difficult to stop.

Kais jerked his hips more vigorously and sank his teeth into Lariella’s nape.

“I’ve been through so much because of you, hah…… I want to mount you and thrust like a madman, suck your lips, knead your br*asts, hold you all night and roll around with you, hoo. Even now I want to do it so badly…… I’m going crazy, Lariella.”

Lariella, who had been quietly listening to Kais’s panting voice, turned her bright red cheeks slightly and murmured softly.

“Then…… shall I rub it for you instead?”

For a moment, Kais doubted his ears.

Did this small, innocent woman in his arms just offer to do what?

Kais could only dazedly ask again with the lips that had been nibbling at Lariella’s nape.

“What…… what are you going to do?”

“That thing you call a c*ck. I said I’ll rub it for you instead. You look like you’re in so much pain, and you need to hold the reins, while I have free hands, so I thought I could touch it for you……”

Kais felt dizzy.

He had deliberately teased her using the crude word ‘c*ck’ that he never normally used, but when she innocently repeated the word back to him, he felt like he was the one who’d been caught off guard.

“Do you know how to do it? You’ve never seen one before.”

“I have seen it. Last time I saw you taking that c*ck thing out in your sleep and rubbing it up and down like this. Isn’t that how I should touch it?”

Hah, this is truly maddening.

It seemed he would never be able to handle this woman.

Kais laughed and willingly granted her access to his c*ck.

“Well then, go ahead and do as you please.”

Despite his lingering disbelief, Lariella actually started to fidget and reach her small hand behind her, beginning to rub the front of his pants.

She first tapped his two t*sticles with her fingertips, then swept upward with her palm over the large p*nis, then came back down while kneading it with her fingers. Her hand moved quite skillfully from the base to the gl*ns, causing his massive c*ck to writhe fiercely, threatening to burst through the thick pants.

Well, this was truly astonishing. But her clumsy yet skillful hand movements were also astonishingly good, driving him mad.

The more busily Lariella’s hands moved up and down, the more Kais kept jerking his hips. He was about to end up spilling his seed while sitting on horseback.

“Ungh, Lariella, hah…… stop.”

Kais barely managed to remove her hand from his c*ck just before he ej*culated.

He really might end up consummating their marriage in some nameless forest at this rate. He unwrapped his arm from Lariella’s waist and grabbed the reins with both hands. He needed to reach the villa as quickly as possible before he dragged her slender wrist into the forest.

“Hah, hold on tight. We’ll be there soon.”

Fortunately, the mansion wasn’t far. If he rode the horse quickly, at least he wouldn’t have to show the ugly sight of ej*culating while still wearing his pants.

But just as Kais was about to gallop the horse with all his might, he let out a rough groan that sounded like his breath had caught in his throat. Lariella had grabbed his c*ck with all her strength.

“Kuhh! Lariella! Not that, the reins…… I meant hold the reins.”

“Oh…… I’m sorry. When you said hold tight, I thought……”

Oh, really!

Because of this woman who always tested his patience to its limits, Kais had to bite his lower lip hard enough to draw blood.

Once Lariella released his c*ck and properly held the reins, he kicked the horse’s side forcefully.
