Prologue

“No, that way.”

Jayden’s hand busily explored the sensitive places on her body. Each time his firm hand touched her, a small moan escaped her lips. She struggled, keeping her voice as low as possible in case someone outside might hear.

“Mm, there…”

Even with just his fingertips brushing against her, her body trembled faintly. She already felt like she was going crazy, and if Jayden’s thing entered between her legs, she thought she’d be drowned in unimaginable pleasure. With a mix of expectation and fear, she let out a shaky breath.

While she was off guard, Jayden’s lips touched her ar*ola. When his tongue suddenly grazed the sensitive spot, she reflexively shuddered. Every time his hot lips brushed her, she couldn’t help but shiver.

“Ah…”

Just a moment ago, she had been receiving a history lesson from Jayden, and the stiff atmosphere had changed in an instant.

Maybe because they were doing something in secret, a sense of guilt crept in, chilling her. Her trembling body couldn’t distinguish whether it was pleasure or guilt. The thought that her first experience would be with her childhood friend made her mind grow even hazier.

Up until now, Jayden had never so much as touched her. The only physical contact they’d had was holding hands, and even that was before she turned ten.

After that, she couldn’t remember holding hands with Jayden. Just a few days ago, she’d nearly tripped when her skirt caught underfoot while she was running around, and he’d caught her. Their lips had accidentally collided, but since it was an unintentional situation, she considered it an exception. It didn’t really count as physical contact.

Of course, her heart had raced and her face had flushed, but she chalked it up to awkwardness.

It had been ten years since they’d last held hands, and she hadn’t been an adult for long.

At her request, Jayden and she were now doing these things all of a sudden. The secrecy made the tension even greater.

She only wanted to date, but she never expected that she would end up sharing her body with Jayden. She’d read in a book once that you never know what lies ahead in life.

As distant ecstasy began to rise, that phrase faintly drifted through her mind.

“I like it.”

Her true feelings slipped out without her realizing. Fortunately, she’d spoken in a voice barely above a whisper, so only Jayden seemed to have heard. At her mumble, he glanced at the door for a moment, perhaps worried someone might come in, then looked back at her. When their eyes met, her heart pounded even harder. She wondered why she was so nervous and excited.

She reached out, almost entranced, toward Jayden’s chest. She stroked it lightly, feeling the firm muscles under her fingertips, and it felt good. The boy she’d known as a child was gone; now Jayden’s body, grown into adulthood and showing off his muscles, was incredibly alluring. He always wore clothes, so this was the first time she’d seen his bare upper body since puberty.

As she caressed Jayden’s body, a low voice whispered in her ear.

“Are you really okay with this?”

Jayden asked, his tone full of concern. He seemed to be worried about whether they should continue.

But somehow, it felt too late to stop. As her hand slid down his chest, her gaze naturally landed on his lower half—between his legs.

What was inside his pants looked as if it could burst through the fabric at any moment. Even though it was covered, she couldn’t guess its size. It looked bigger than her two fists put together, and she doubted it was just her imagination.

Jayden, too, seemed to be succumbing to his instincts.

“Mm, I’m okay, Jayden.”

She had already seen everything she needed to. And since they’d promised to date in secret, there was no turning back now. It seemed better to finish quickly; if anyone walked in while they dragged this out, just imagining it made her dizzy.

“We both agreed to this, so what’s the problem? Jayden, hurry. We don’t have much time.”

When she gently urged him, Jayden cleared his throat for a moment.

“Then…”

With a sensual voice, he trailed off and gently bit her n*pple again. As his teeth touched the soft, round flesh, her body shuddered.

Jayden’s skillful tongue made her gasp for breath as she looked at him. When she finally managed to open her eyes and look at his face, it seemed subtly changed. The usually dignified face now somehow looked filled with desire. She found herself drawn deeper into those red eyes.

Soon, Jayden’s hand moved down and stopped at the secret place between her legs.

Even just touching the parted area made her want to moan loudly, but she barely managed to stifle her voice.

“Ah…”

Pleasure slowly began to take over her body. Before Jayden’s manhood could enter her secret place, a sudden fear struck her that her parents or a servant might suddenly open the door. The tension grew, and her heart raced wildly. In an instant, she felt damp below.

“Ah… Mm, no, just a little more.”

How did her desire for romance turn into a physical relationship? Feeling the heat spreading through her increasingly relaxed body, she thought back to a few days ago.
