5.

Dade stayed at his place for quite a while after Nian left first, only returning to the bedroom when the night grew deep.

Though his travel fatigue hadn’t fully dissipated and exhaustion had crept in since early evening, he couldn’t completely shake off the anger that kept smoldering inside him.

Knowing that if he faced Nian again like this, they would inevitably argue needlessly, he spent a long time nursing his wine glass and only returned after the party had ended.

As he approached the bedroom, he carelessly glanced at Nian’s silhouette with the blanket pulled over her head.

‘Damn it.’

Somehow feeling explicitly rejected, curses rose to the tip of his tongue, but he managed to hold them back as he headed to the bathroom. Thinking he should douse himself with cold water.

Meanwhile, Nian, lying in bed, held her breath and closed her eyes when she sensed his presence. He walked in with a slight stagger, seemed to stand briefly before the bed, then proceeded to the bathroom.

Even with the blanket pulled over her, she felt his cold gaze, making her instinctively tense. Soon, as the sound of water and his movements came from beyond the bathroom door, Nian unconsciously bit her lip with a distant feeling.

A moment later, he came out of the bathroom and flopped down beside her, smelling of soap mixed with strong alcohol. He seemed quite drunk. Nian’s heart beat rapidly.

Unlike usual, Dade didn’t embrace her but simply lay straight, covering his eyes with one arm. Though highly aware of her curled up beside him, he showed no sign of it.

How much time passed like that?

Dade, who had dozed off hazily from the alcohol, opened his eyes when he sensed movement.

Nian was before his eyes.

Nian, wearing only a thin, see-through slip, was sitting astride him.

Her skin looked even more fair in the white moonlight streaming through the large window.

Dade bit his lip and squeezed his eyes shut at the sight of her.

“What are you doing?”

Dade asked through gritted teeth while still lying down. Nian didn’t answer.

“Move. Where do you think you’re climbing without any fear?”

As he spoke, Nian who was calmly watching him bent down and lowered her lips to his. With their breaths intertwining closely, Nian answered.

“You won’t do anything that would make me afraid.”

Dade opened his eyes. He saw Nian smiling leisurely right in front of him. With slightly roughened breathing, he spoke in a deep voice.

“Right. So stop teasing and move.”

Nian raised her upper body again and looked down at Dade. Dade considered pushing her away forcefully as she stared at him with unfathomable dark eyes, but changed his mind.

He planned to scare her a little, as she kept fearlessly provoking him.

He reached out and slightly lowered her shoulder strap.

‘This will make her startle and run away.’

As his touch loosened one shoulder strap, it soon slid down. With that, Nian’s fair br*ast was exposed.

However, for some reason, Nian sat motionless, merely gazing at him without running away. Surprised by this unexpected reaction, Dade sighed in bewilderment. He finally withdrew his hand and raised his upper body.

As Dade sat up, he ended up sitting face to face with Nian who had been sitting on top of him. He cupped her cheek with his hand in surrender. Then he asked in a slightly gentler voice, as if admonishing her.

“Why are you doing this, Ilena?”

“Does Your Majesty still hate me?”

“Yes.”

He answered after a brief pause. Nian’s eyes clearly showed her hurt.

“Then, do you only hate me?”

He sighed as if helpless and answered.

“No.”

At his words, Nian smiled forlornly.

After much contemplation during his absence, she had reached the conclusion that she loved him. Not the burning romantic feeling that scorches at the slightest approach, but love like the warmest spring day with gentle breezes and sparkling sunlight.

When she confronted her true feelings that she had deliberately avoided by fixating on the wounds he’d given her, she felt relieved instead.

“That’s a relief.”

“……”

That was enough. Even if it was a house built on glass, it was so warm that she had no desire to ask for more. Even if it would break soon, even if it would collapse painfully, she no longer cared.

Nian carefully leaned in and kissed him.

A clumsy kiss. Their briefly touching lips parted regretfully soon after. She whispered softly.

“Will you…… embrace me?”

At Nian’s shy yet seductive invitation, Dade looked at her with a slightly stiffened face, then raised his hand to slightly lower the remaining shoulder strap. The soft slip slid down to Nian’s waist.

At that sight, Dade’s eyes darkened further. He cupped her cheek as she lowered her head shyly. Meeting her trembling eyes, he answered in an even lower voice.

“If you promise not to cry.”

In response to his words, she smiled seductively. Then she took his hand that cupped her cheek and placed it on her br*ast. She whispered softly in his ear.

“No, Dade. Make me cry.”

Her answer completely shattered the last thread of his patience. He lowered his head and kissed her white neck. When he licked the familiar herb scent with his tongue, Nian shrank slightly, ticklish. Soon after, Dade wrapped his arm around Nian’s waist, lifted her, turned her over and laid her down. He climbed on top of her, stole her lips, and kneaded her luscious br*asts.

Along with the plump sensation, he felt hard n*pples against his palm, and his lips traveled down her neck to fondle her other br*ast. When he finally took the pink peak into his mouth, a gasp flowed from above.

“Haah.”

Dade grew even more heated at her excited breathing. He briefly rose and began unbuttoning his shirt.

Though usually deft, somehow his heart raced as he saw Nian’s dark eyes looking up at him with moist gazes. Growing increasingly urgent, he almost tore off his shirt and threw it away.

His moderately muscular upper body was revealed. When Nian raised her delicate hand to caress his chest, his breathing grew rougher.

His hand, which had been kneading her br*asts, naturally moved downward, removing her slip along with her underwear that had been hanging at her waist.

“This is maddening.”

Finally looking down at her completely n*ked body, he muttered in a low voice mixed with sticky breaths.

He carefully lowered his head and scattered tiny kisses around her chest. She tasted so sweet, as if molded from sugar, that his tongue tingled wherever he tasted her.

His lips traveled down her smooth belly. When he finally slightly parted her white legs and brought his face between them, a panicked voice came from above.

“Wait…… a moment.”

Nian tried to close her legs forcefully, but he never released them.

“Stay still.”

“No…… Ahuh!”

She felt his hot breath below, followed by a soft tongue. As the rough tongue brushed against her tender flesh, Nian shook her head violently and grabbed his head at the dizzying sensation.

“Haah.”

After licking a few times, he soon sucked forcefully, and her white legs suspended in the air trembled violently.

“Haah. Your Majesty…… Please.”

Her toes tensed and stretched straight, and her waist arched like a bow and writhed. She felt like she would go mad from the sensation she was experiencing for the first time in her life.

Despite her appearance, looking like she was already reaching her limit, he invaded even deeper, thoroughly tasting the sweet nectar flowing like a spring, before coming back up.

Then he gently kissed her cheeks, which had bloomed like a red flower beneath him, and licked away the tears that had escaped with his tongue.

“Relax to feel less pain.”

Placing his already enormously swollen manhood at her entrance, he rubbed it up and down, coating it with her slick juices. Each time the tip brushed against her nub, she flinched slightly.

Seeing her pupils trembling with undisguised fear, he stroked her n*pples with his thumb a few more times to stimulate her further.

“Hng!”

Nian squeezed her eyes shut at the unfamiliar, heavy pain that suddenly came. Dade paused his slowly pushing hips and kissed her head.

“Ilena. Open your eyes.”

At his gentle voice, Nian opened her tear-moistened eyes. He was gazing at her with warm eyes.

“Yes. Keep looking at me like that.”

He pushed his hips forward again. Parting her clenched flesh, he entered slowly. Her brows furrowed deeply at the inevitable pain, and he kissed her forehead comfortingly.

“Haah……! Ah!”

Finally fully inside her, he paused his movements and embraced her tightly.

“Haah.”

After exhaling his held breath, he stroked her nub. When she became wetter inside, he began his thrusting.

Despite the sufficient f*replay, she was too tight inside. Hot, smooth flesh gripped him tightly, and Dade finally let out a suppressed groan.

“Kuk. Relax. Ilena.”

“Ahuh. Ah, haah!”

When Dade whispered in an excited, husky voice, Nian consciously relaxed her lower body that had been tensing unintentionally.

“Haah.”

Feeling her become much softer, he grabbed her pelvis and lifted it slightly. With the subtle change in angle, he filled a space within her that even she hadn’t known existed.

Nian swayed precariously with his movements. Dade kissed her continuously, giving her no respite.

“Haah. Hah. Ha.”

Soaked in a mixture of pleasure and pain, Nian moaned mindlessly. A heat that felt like melting filled the space between them.

Dade, who had been moving while holding back as much as possible to avoid hurting Nian, straightened his waist, grabbed the back of her knees, and suddenly accelerated.

Between her spread legs, his manhood moved in and out relentlessly, and with each of his movements, her n*ked body heaved.

Tak, tak, tak.
