6. Obsession (Part 3)

Alexander was focused on driving her to the heights of ecstasy, his lips moving relentlessly.

The lewd, slurping sounds of him licking and stimulating her reached her ears. Eirin tried to escape the overwhelming bliss by twisting her hips, but the headboard was behind her and the solid male body was in front.

“Ahh!”

“Don’t forget how it feels now.”

As he whispered and bit into her flesh, an enormous wave shook her body and passed through.

“Aah!”

Overwhelmed by the intense pl*asure, she squeezed her thighs, trapping his face. It was an action beyond her control. Her insides were trembling so much that the muscles ached.

“Haah, haaah.”

She breathed out and looked up at him with blurry eyes. The pl*asure was unbelievable. 

Reaching out, she traced the lips that had explored her so passionately. The wet lips dried against her fingers.

“Alexander…”

This man was like a poisonous drug. The pleasure he left lingered, staining her inside like an addiction. The more she experienced it, the more her mouth craved it.

He had told her to write this experience into a novel, but Eirin felt she could never do that. No matter what words she used, she couldn’t properly describe the ecstasy she felt now.

At Eirin’s call, Alexander swept his gaze over her ripe body. His eyes swept over her ripe flesh before he whispered.

“I want to have you.”

“….”

Eirin was left speechless by the lust-clouded tone of his voice.

“But for now, I must exercise restraint.”

His hand slowly stroked her damp thighs. Lost in the intoxication of Alexander’s touch, Eirin surrendered her body to his movements.

But suddenly, he withdrew his hands. As the searing flesh left, the void made Eirin raise her head.

Alexander was looking at her with a slight frown. His lips, which had been wearing a languid smile just moments ago, hardened into a tight line.

“Alexander, is something wrong?”

“Shh.”

He placed his index finger over her lips. As she looked at his narrowed brows, her heart began to race with a strange feeling. That’s when another sound reached her ears.

Thud, thud.

The sound of footsteps approaching.

Someone was approaching.

The west wing of the mansion had no rooms in regular use, only the guest bedrooms. The only guest currently staying at the mansion was Alexander.

So unless it was the man before her, there should be no one passing by at this time. 

Could it be a servant looking for something?

It’s probably nothing. Maybe they’re just cleaning. Or perhaps a guard making his rounds through the corridor.

In any case, they won’t come into this room. Surely.

Eirin’s ears perked up, even her breathing paused as she thought that.

However, contrary to her fervent hope, the footsteps were not just one set, but two. And they were getting closer.

“We have to hide…”

“Surely not…ff”

There were many rooms in the west wing.  

Maybe they were going into another room other than this one.

She prayed that was the case.

But “surely not” can sometimes prove true. If they open the door to this room, it would be a grave situation.

“What do we do, Alexander?”

Seeing Eirin’s desperate gaze, Alexander swiftly scooped her up and hurried to the terrace. As soon as he gently set her down on the terrace, the door to the room burst open.

Someone had entered.

Eirin was terrified that her pounding heart might be heard. She covered her mouth with both hands, worried her breathing might give them away.

There was no time to close the terrace door. Luckily, the white curtains were drawn so they wouldn’t be able to see out onto the terrace from inside, but the sounds could still be heard, so she had to be careful. If they tried to draw the curtain, it would give them away immediately.

The footsteps that had been heard outside entered the room.

Who could it be? If it’s a servant, I can go out and say I got lost. They might find it strange why I’m here, but it’s better than being seen with Alexander.

But the situation unfolded differently than she had imagined. The people who entered the room were a man and a woman. As soon as the woman entered, the man pulled her close and embraced her forcefully.

“Mmph!”

A low moan echoed, and their lips met in a kiss.

Goodness, oh my, are they kissing?

Who are they? Are they servants? Why have they come into this room?

The silhouettes were too blurry to make out who they were.

The very tall man seemed to be devouring the much more petite woman.

“Aah.”

Hearing the woman’s moan, Eirin’s eyes widened as she looked up at Alexander.

What on earth is happening?

Alexander maintained his expression, simply gazing down at Eirin. As she hesitated, unsure of what to do, the man’s hand was seen delving into the woman’s front.

This is madness, absolute madness.

There’s no way she can leave now. While she had hesitated, the situation had escalated. Given that the two had initiated intimacy, she could not bring herself to leave.

Maybe I should jump out into the garden. It’s not like I’ve never done it before.

Eirin’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the terrace below, but it was a rose garden. There was no quiet way to descend the thorn-covered vines. No matter how tightly she bit her lips and tried to fall silently, the thorns would surely make her cry out, and then the kissing couple inside would discover them. That would be the end of everything.

What should we do?

As Eirin chewed on her lips, searching for a solution, the man’s lips trailed down the woman’s neckline, grazing her pale skin. At this, a rapturous moan escaped the woman’s lips.

“Ooh, Your Grace.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Eirin’s eyes grew even wider than before.

Your Grace?

If it’s ‘Your Grace’, then…

The one in this mansion who holds that t*tle is only her brother, Stefan Hamilton, the Duke. Of course, Alexander is also a duke, but he’s right here next to her. 

So then… the man there must be…

“Your Grace, please.”

“Please what?”

The low, heavy voice resonating through the curtain was unmistakably Stefan’s. Eirin couldn’t clearly see the woman, but the man’s voice was one she had known all her life.

“Your Grace, you know it’s not…..”

His lips roughly licked her skin. The intensity of his sucking made the woman’s shoulders tremble.

“The window is open. At least close the window, or the door. Please, aah.”

“The servants must have forgotten to close it after cleaning for the ball. Don’t worry about it. No, wait…”

Stefan scoffed at her.

“Victoria, you…”

Victoria? Victoria?

Seeing her most trusted friend and tutor, Victoria, with her own brother Stefan in such an intimate scene was shocking enough, but an even more bewildering revelation awaited Eirin.

She had never witnessed any interactions or behaviors that would ar*use suspicion between the two. 

How did this come to be?

Oblivious to Eirin’s stunned state, the two were lost in their own world.

Stefan continued with a mocking tone.

“You always did enjoy it outdoors. You like the thrill of it. Soaked through every time we were outside.”

Stefan pulled up the hem of Victoria’s flowing skirt, exposing her b*ttocks. As if to punish her, he spread her *ss cheeks apart and ran his eyes over her wet p*ssy. Though just a silhouette, Eirin could not bear to look.

Eirin couldn’t breathe. Of course, she had wanted to learn about the intimacies between men and women, but she certainly didn’t wish to witness the lovemaking of those closest to her.

“I don’t want it here.”

“Does that mean you prefer elsewhere?”

“At least let’s go to your room, this place is unsettling… Today is the day after the ball, so I don’t know when the maids will come this way, and seeing as the window were left open like that, they might remember later and come to close it. Please, Duke. I’ll do anything you want.”

“Anything?”

“Yes, anything. I’ll gladly oblige whatever you desire.”

Victoria pleaded earnestly. Stefan chuckled lowly.

“Then you must bear the consequences of those words.”

And with that, the Duke led her out of the room. The expression on Victoria’s face as she left the room did not reflect the happiness of a woman in love or the joy of their intimacy.

It was a forlorn sadness that caught Eirin’s eye.

Sighing, Eirin didn’t think to enter the room after they left, not knowing if they would return for a while. 

It wasn’t until a long time later that Eirin and Alexander left the balcony and finally reentered the room.
