In that moment, Violet felt like she had received a confession of love from him. Her heart began to pound fiercely with surprise at his unexpected words, but she tried to maintain her composure as she spoke.

“Really? Then what was that talk about engagement?”

“I was planning a temporary engagement to avoid the pressure to marry. But this time, I intended to make it a contract. So no woman would be hurt like you were.”

Looking at Aslan answering with such a resolute expression, Violet didn’t think he was lying.

“Ah…”

Only then did Violet grasp the situation and realize she had misunderstood. No, perhaps she had been blinded by jealousy, making assumptions and becoming angry all on her own.

‘What have I been doing all this time…’

Recalling her behavior, Violet’s face turned as red as a peach blossom.

If she had been just a little more honest, she wouldn’t have suffered so much heartache. Not doing so made her feel like she had taken an unnecessarily long detour.

She felt somewhat regretful, thinking that if she had recognized her feelings earlier and accepted the Snake Duke, they wouldn’t have gone through this roundabout journey.

So now things needed to change. Now that she knew his feelings, it was Violet’s turn to reveal her own.

Violet took a deep breath to calm her excited heart and confessed in a composed tone.

“Actually, I like you too.”

“Really?”

Aslan looked at Violet with disbelieving eyes.

“Yes.”

When she nodded slowly in response, he rushed forward and embraced her.

“This isn’t a dream, is it?”

He buried his face in her neck and nuzzled against it, seemingly unable to believe it. He breathed in her scent, trying to confirm whether this was a dream or reality.

“Would you believe it if I pinched your cheek?”

“I think I would believe it if you kissed me.”

What a beast. Violet glared at him briefly, then cupped his face with both hands and kissed him.

Aslan’s eyes widened, and soon a smile gradually spread across his face.

“Now I think I can believe it. I’ve finally captured your heart! I love you, Lady Mori, and I’ll never let go of this hand again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, their lips met.

The kiss, which started with a light brush of the lips, began to deepen. When their lips parted, Aslan said:

“I want to be closer to you. Will you allow me?”

His eyes looking at Violet were filled with desire. If she permitted him now, she felt she might be devoured by him.

Violet pushed away Aslan’s lips and answered.

“No.”

“May I ask why? Now that our hearts are connected, it would be natural for our bodies to join as well.”

How could he say such brazen words with such a calm face…

“Not here. It’s difficult. Next time.”

Violet also wanted to be closer to him, but everything was happening so suddenly that she wasn’t mentally prepared yet.

“Don’t you want me too? I can hardly contain myself.”

She had intended to refuse him today, but Violet finally gave in to Aslan’s pleading eyes and nodded.

The moment he received her answer, he lifted her up. He buried his nose in her neck, savoring the subtle scent emanating from her.

“Do you know how much I’ve missed you?”

Unable to wait any longer, he headed toward the carriage. The moment the carriage door closed, Violet and Aslan pressed their lips together, and their lips didn’t part until the carriage stopped.

The place Aslan and Violet headed to was the same villa where they had previously joined bodies by mutual agreement.

As soon as they entered the villa, they kissed again, seemingly having waited for this moment. Already heated from their kisses in the carriage, Violet boldly pushed her tongue into Aslan’s mouth.

He gladly accepted her impulsive action.

Lifting Violet into his arms, he walked toward the bedroom. Throughout their walk, their lips never separated. They entwined their tongues, each trying to enter deeper into the other.

Their lips parted only when Aslan carefully laid Violet down on the bed. Looking at each other’s faces, they smiled, and soon their lips met again.

This time, while exchanging gentle kisses, Aslan placed his hand on Violet’s back to untie her ribbon. As he pulled down her loosened clothes, he said:

“Today, I won’t rely on the green medicine. Let’s feel each other’s bodies with clear minds.”

Instead of words, Violet lightly nodded.

“Then I’ll need to loosen you up quite a bit…”

Despite his concerned voice, the corners of Aslan’s lips turned upward.

Soon after, Aslan sucked on her br*ast while removing the rest of her clothes. His hands, undressing her without hesitation, revealed his desire.

“Aah!”

The sound of him sucking on her br*ast sounded terribly er*tic.

While Violet moaned and shook her head, Aslan slowly removed his own clothes as well.

But he didn’t release the br*ast he was still holding. Instead, he sucked on it vigorously, like swallowing sweet fruit, and then gently bit the n*pple.

“Nngh. Mmh!”

He lowered his lower body and poked her private parts with his p*nis. Violet’s white skin gradually flushed red.

As small waves of excitement flowed through her, her n*pple popped out. He stimulated the peak with his tongue, rolling it to make her secret place even wetter.

The sensation against his lower body also began to intensify, and her lower abdomen tingled.

The moment her insides became thoroughly wet, Aslan stopped moving and inserted his hand into the split opening, stirring her inside. With a squelching sound, he confirmed she was completely wet and immediately withdrew his hand.

“This should be enough.”

A chilling light flickered in his golden eyes.

When Violet’s highly sensitized body was ready to accept Aslan’s, he positioned himself between her legs.

“Tell me if it hurts.”

Violet nodded, and Aslan inserted his large organ into the open gap.

It was their first time joining bodies with clear minds. Consequently, accepting something so large was indeed overwhelming. Even with just the tip of the gl*ns entering, it felt burdensome.

Haa, haa. Short breaths naturally escaped from Violet’s mouth.

Aslan paused his movements momentarily, waiting for her to catch her breath. Then, once he confirmed her breathing had stabilized, he pushed himself all the way in with a thud.

“Hng!”

Instantly, a heavy pressure filled her inside. Tears welled up in her eyes, but Violet bit her lip, trying to endure it.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“N-not terribly, but it’s too big… and rough.”

Violet answered with her face all scrunched up.

It still felt hot, hard, and rough, giving the sensation of a massive club stirring her insides, but she could bear it because she also felt pleasure no less intense.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Smiling slightly, Aslan lowered his lips to her trembling eyebrows. Violet’s eyes closed at the touch of his lips.

Unlike his gentle kiss, his bodily movements were rough. He seemed to pull out slightly, only to push back in. With a thud, she felt her insides being pierced.

“Ungh.”

Aslan pulled his body back again and began a back-and-forth motion, inserting himself inside her. Each time his rigid organ slowly entered and exited her v*gina, mercilessly pressing her insides, pain and pleasure mixed together, making her insides a wet mess.

Trapped in his strong arms, Violet shook her head with her face all scrunched up.

Then, when he stimulated a sensitive spot, she felt pleasure beyond pain, but it was still overwhelming.

When her narrow inner walls squeezed his p*nis, wrinkles formed between Aslan’s eyebrows. Haa. After letting out a shallow moan, he began to focus on stimulating her weak spots.

Her insides began to tingle pleasantly, and as love juices continuously flowed out, Violet was swept away by waves of pleasure.

Since they were mating after their hearts had connected, it felt like their souls were connected too. It seemed fine to connect even deeper. But such thoughts could only emerge during brief moments of leisure.

As Aslan’s movements became more violent, like a hungry predator, those thoughts gradually faded away.

As the speed of his back-and-forth motion increased, Violet gripped Aslan’s neck fiercely, like holding onto a lifeline. Thud, thud, the sound of flesh hitting flesh made their space even more lewd.

“Hnng. Aah. Too fast…”

No matter how much she pleaded, his movements remained intense. Her vision alternated between white and dark, and her eyes gradually became languid. She felt increasingly distant from reality.

Throughout it all, Violet tried her best not to let go of Aslan, and finally, unable to bear the intense force penetrating her body, she left red nail marks on his white skin.

Aslan smiled slightly, seemingly pleased that she had left marks on his body. He lowered his head, kissed the corner of her eye, and whispered in a gentle voice:

“I love you.”

Though she felt she should respond to his sweet words, so different from his violent movements, she couldn’t. Shaken by the extreme speed, Violet could only moan; she had no presence of mind to say anything else.

After that, they mixed their bodies several times, falling into ecstatic sensations each time, and each time, Aslan told her he loved her.

Because of this, even though her body was worn out, her heart felt filled with the heat of love.

After their lovemaking, Aslan gazed at the sleeping Violet beside him.

Had he been bewitched by her? Looking at her body covered with marks he had left, he couldn’t understand why she felt so lovable.

He carefully tucked her hair, which had fallen forward, behind her ear. Then he buried his face in her neck.

The deeper he inhaled, the deeper and richer her scent spread throughout his body. It naturally made him feel at ease.

The thought that he never wanted to lose her again caused his temporarily subsided desire to rise once more.

Pouncing on a sleeping woman wasn’t exactly appealing, but Aslan gently placed his lips on Violet’s.

Now that she had become his, one final task remained.

Imprinting.

Aslan smiled with satisfaction.

Having finally found his eternal mate, he looked forward to the day of imprinting, when he would declare to the world that the Rabbit Lady was his.
