“I should consider it fortunate that you have such a lewd body.”

“Haah… mmm… hurry… your seed…”

Lian’s voice reached Lyrica’s ears only faintly, her sky-blue eyes clouded with desire. When she wiggled her hips impatiently at his teasing entry, his member thr*st in completely, responding to her urgency.

“Hic… haaah!”

“Whew… feels good?”

“Hngg… it’s so deep, ahh… ah!”

“You like being penetrated deeply, don’t you? Hmm?”

Lyrica threw her head back and trembled at his movements that threatened to push even his t*sticles inside her. 

Soon, the massive p*nis moved vigorously back and forth with wet friction sounds of flesh meeting flesh. Each time he thr*st with a slapping sound, Lian kneaded her soft, quivering buttocks with both hands, distorting their shape while increasing his pace. 

Her body swayed limply under his piercing thr*sts, and milky fl*id sprayed in all directions, following the movement of her br*asts as they bounced and swayed.

“Ah, mmm! I’m going to, c*m… haah! Hic!”

Perhaps because she hadn’t fully recovered from the previous night, Lyrica reached cl*max immediately. 

Her body, which had barely been holding up, collapsed, and she clearly felt the sensation of s*men flowing between her thighs. 

Before she could gather her scattered mind, her body was turned over. She moaned breathlessly at his member pushing in again, seemingly indifferent to her state.

“I just, ah, hngg! came, hnn…”

Lian grabbed both her slender ankles in one hand, lifting them up and pushing himself deeper. The slight elevation of her buttocks allowed their connection to lock together without any gap.

“You love it when I keep thrusting after you come, stop pretending.”

Lian smiled affectionately and rolled his hips slowly, deliberately stimulating her. The shaft filling her inner walls pressed against all her sensitive spots, bringing waves of unrelenting pleasure. 

With physiological tears filling her reddened eyes, Lyrica spread her arms toward him.

“Hn, mmm… good… it’s good.”

Enchanted by her gesture, he lowered his head to capture her lips, her sweet breath tickling the inside of his mouth. Moving his hips gently while feeling her soft, velvety membranes, Lyrica’s body moved fluidly in response. 

As wet friction sounds filled the bedroom, Lian’s thick eyebrows furrowed with pleasure. Despite how thoroughly he had taken her, this small opening gripped him tightly each time, contracting around him perfectly.

“Haa… Lyrica.”

He swept back her pink hair, damp with sweat, and moaned desperately. How could she be so beautiful? 

His deepening feelings were now beyond his control. His thr*sts became increasingly fierce with his urgent desire to be closer to her.

“Ahh! Ah, hngg! Lian, too hard, haaah!”

The sound of wet flesh colliding loudly filled his head. His thrusting member felt like it was entering up to her throat before withdrawing. Lyrica cried out continuously in ecstasy, her sky-blue eyes distorted with pleasure.

Despite the faint sounds escaping from early morning, the ducal residence staff stayed far from the bedroom, accustomed to such occurrences. It was much later when they finally finished preparing and left the bedroom.

Lucas’s words that Edwin would grow quickly because he inherited Valter blood proved true. Edwin took his first steps before half a year had passed. His speech also developed quickly, and now, just past his first birthday, he could speak simple sentences adequately. 

People praised Edwin’s day-by-day growth, saying he was indeed the Valter ducal heir, but Lyrica felt both proud and sad, fearing that a fast-growing child would leave her arms that much sooner.

“He seems to be growing too quickly, which makes me feel a bit sad.”

It was a pleasant spring afternoon. Edwin, who had woken from his nap, was enjoying the spring air while toddling around the garden holding his nanny’s hand. 

Lyrica’s expression was as warm as the spring sunshine while watching her child touching flowers with his tiny palms, giggling brightly. At her sudden comment after watching Edwin for a while, Lily’s expression turned serious.

“He certainly is growing faster than usual for his age.”

Lily, who was visiting the ducal residence, was having tea time with Lyrica. Recently promoted to vice-captain, she frequently visited the ducal residence, captivated by Edwin’s cuteness. 

Edwin was also fond of Lily, making afternoon tea time with Lily and Edwin one of Lyrica’s new favorite pastimes. Lily, who had been crossing her long legs and tapping one foot, shrugged and spoke.

“If you’re sad about it, just have another one.”

It was a straightforward but somewhat off-topic solution. However, Lily’s words sparked a gleam in Lyrica’s sky-blue eyes.

“Edwin would probably like having a sibling too, right?”

“I don’t know well since I don’t have siblings myself, but I think he would like it?”

“I’m fine now because I have a family and you, Lily, but I always wished I had siblings.”

“Hmm. I felt the same way. I always dreamed of having a little brother I could smack around.”

Lyrica, lost in thought, didn’t hear Lily nodding and speaking.

She had certainly thought about wanting to have another child resembling Lian, Noel, and Lucas. However, whenever Lyrica brought up the topic of children, the brothers would avoid the conversation, saying it was still time to focus on recovery. 

She had gone along with it since the pain of childbirth was still fresh in her memory, but… now that Edwin was over a year old and her body had become even healthier than before giving birth, wouldn’t it be alright to have a second child soon?

“Mama!”

While she was deep in thought, a child’s voice tickled her ear. Edwin, who had run over with his hands tightly clasped together, suddenly held them out to her. 

Thinking he might have picked a flower, she looked down to find pink petals that matched her hair color perfectly on his tiny palm. It seemed he had collected fallen petals one by one with his small hands, and Lyrica couldn’t hide how touched she felt. 

Whether it was because the nanny knew Lyrica disliked picking flowers and had been mindful, or whether this young child already had a tender heart for nature, she wasn’t sure.

“For Mama!”

“Is this for me? Thank you, Edwin.”

Lyrica smiled brightly, hugging the child tightly and rubbing her cheek against his happily. When she kissed his soft, fluffy baby cheek, Edwin giggled and shook his head, apparently ticklish.

“Edi. What about auntie? Hmm? Nothing for auntie? I even brought a present when I came, and this is how you treat me?”

Lily, who had been leaning back, suddenly sat up straight and held out her hand to Edwin, her eyes blazing with jealousy. Seeing Lily with her hands clasped desperately, Edwin rolled his red eyes around before escaping from Lyrica’s embrace.

“For auntie too! Wait!”

Happy laughter erupted at the tea table as they watched the child running back to his nanny, presumably to collect a gift for Lily as well.

“I’m excited to see what pretty thing he’ll bring.”

“Edwin really seems to like you, Lily.”

“Our young master already has good taste.”

Lyrica smiled happily watching her child as Lily crossed her arms proudly and tapped her foot. Her hesitation about bringing up the topic of a second child with the brothers gradually solidified into determination. 

The thought of creating another being who would bring such immense happiness made her heart swell. Since Noel had been spending more time at the Imperial Palace lately due to hunting festival preparations, and Lucas was at the Magic Tower for research, it seemed best to talk to Lian first.

That night, Lian, who returned late after finishing his work, raised an eyebrow when he found Lyrica sitting up in bed reading a book.

“You’re back?”

“You’re still awake?”

Lian’s lips curled up slightly. He strode over, climbed onto the bed, and pulled Lyrica into his arms. His low, warm voice reached her ears as she nestled in his broad embrace.

“Have you been unable to sleep because of too much work lately? I told you I’d assign you an assistant if you’re busy.”

“I finished all my work earlier. I was waiting because I have something to say.”

“Tell me.”

Meeting his questioning red eyes, Lyrica recalled her conversation with Lily from earlier that day.

“I want to give Edwin a sibling.”

His hand, which had been caressing her chest while continuously kissing her hair, stopped abruptly.

“…A sibling? Are you thinking of getting a puppy?”

“No! I mean I want to have another child.”
