“…Please let me take the lead, Lord Khalid.”

Alice undressed Khalid’s suit. When she removed his pants, his red, fierce manhood sprang up. She lowered her lips and licked it.

“Ungh…”

Khalid’s body twitched.

“Haaa… Alice.”

Hearing his languid voice, Alice took his member fully into her mouth again.

She tightened her lips diligently while holding his length deep in her throat.

“Hoo…”

Khalid’s member was incomparably large, making Alice feel her mouth might tear. When she began to choke, Khalid rose with a smile. He laid Alice on the bed and spread her thighs.

“Lord Khalid! I said… I would do it!”

“How long do you plan to tease me?”

“Hnngh…!”

Her thin undergarments were torn apart by his hands in one motion.

Khalid’s manhood entered Alice in a single thrust. His merciless hip movements continued. Thump. Thud. His protruding part scraped against Alice’s inner walls repeatedly. Khalid, who had placed Alice’s legs over his shoulders, began moving in earnest.

“Ah…ugh. Hnng…!”

In pain, Alice’s hips kept rising. Khalid chuckled and firmly gripped her b*ttocks.

“Where do you keep trying to escape to? …You can’t run away during our coupling, Alice.”

“Haaah. Lord Khalid… Ngh.”

Alice’s face was trapped between Khalid’s arms. He kissed her lips. The thrusting didn’t stop even during the kiss. Alice’s moans scattered inside Khalid’s mouth.

“…Mmph. Mmph…!”

[Lord Khalid. …I like you.]

The moment he heard Alice’s confession, Khalid wanted to trust her again. However, he didn’t want to be hurt by her again. After running away from him, she had dated another man and even had a child.

Alice didn’t need to be his. Her heart was too different from his own. That made it more painful. While thinking that he would love her but not trust her, Khalid continued his thrusting more vigorously.

“Hngh…!”

The moment he ej*culated inside Alice, he sought her lips again.

Even after climaxing, he wanted to stay inside her. He thought that if they could always be connected like this, he wouldn’t need her heart.

After the party ended, Alice and Dorothy headed to Khalid’s mansion. Since they had gone directly to the dress shop for the party earlier, this was Alice’s first time seeing the mansion.

Indeed, it was completely different from where commoners lived. Not only was it isolated with no houses nearby, but one had to cross a vast garden to reach the entrance from the gate. While riding in the carriage to the entrance, Alice held the sleeping Dorothy in her arms.

“…”

No matter how many times she told Khalid that Dorothy was his daughter, he wouldn’t listen.

‘Why?’

She had never known any man besides Khalid, yet she seemed to be under some strange misunderstanding.

[You dated quite a few men during those four years. I was busy, but I commissioned the guild. I know everything about where you lived and the men you dated.]

‘The guild….’

The guild where Khalid had commissioned information. Could there be something there? Alice looked carefully at Khalid, and he smirked when he caught her staring.

“What? Want to do it again? After all we just did…?”

Alice’s face turned red.

“T-The child is here, how could you say such things…”

“…Alice.”

Just then, the carriage arrived at the entrance, and Khalid opened the door. He took the child and handed her to the head maid.

“Put her to bed in Dorothy’s room.”

“Yes, Lord Khalid.”

Khalid took Alice’s hand and walked to his room.

None of the employees knew Alice’s face. Everyone here was different from the employees at the Count’s mansion.

‘…That’s fortunate, at least.’

The magnificent double doors opened, and Khalid undressed. He stroked the head of Alice, who stood there blankly.

“What are you doing? Going to bed without washing?”

“Ah…! No.”

Alice struggled to remove her dress by herself, but the heavy garment wouldn’t come off easily. Khalid helped her undress.

“Raise your arms.”

“Yes.”

The dress came off, tousling her hair. When her undergarments became visible, Khalid gently kissed her bare shoulder.

“Mmm…”

“You smell delicious. …Why did I ever think you were a man?”

“…”

Khalid removed the rest of her undergarments. Looking at her perfect female body, he sighed.

“D*mn. Why did you hide such a body? Alice.”

“…I had no choice back then.”

Khalid bit Alice’s ear lightly and whispered.

“You should have told me the truth. …That’s your problem.”

“…”

“That you thought of me the same as everyone else.”

For a long time, Alice had deceived many people, including Khalid. Back then, she thought it was the best option.

Khalid’s hand gripped Alice’s b*ttocks firmly.

“Ungh…!”

When Alice’s body flinched, Khalid looked down at her and said:

“I never thought of you the same as others. Not even once.”

“…”

Alice hung her head low. Khalid gripped her chin tightly and forcibly lifted it. Their eyes met.

“…Would you believe me if I said you were special to me from the moment I first saw you?”

“Lord Khalid…”

In Khalid’s eyes, there was deep anger along with resignation.

“That’s why I’m more angry.”

Khalid kissed Alice’s lips. He bit her lips so hard that blood flowed. Khalid licked her blood with a mischievous expression.

No maid saw the two heading to the bathroom, wearing only robes over their n*ked bodies. Alice didn’t know that Khalid had strictly instructed the employees not to set foot on the second floor unless called, but she felt at ease. It reminded her of the villa where the two had stayed.

‘This place is larger than that one, though.’

After entering and sitting in the bath, Khalid approached from behind Alice. He embraced her tightly.

‘Lord Khalid doesn’t trust me.’

Perhaps that made sense, since she had run away several times. But even if he didn’t trust her, she wished he would believe that Dorothy was his daughter. She sank into happiness in Khalid’s embrace.

‘I shouldn’t be too greedy, right…?’

Alice gave up trying to explain further. Even if she told the truth, Khalid seemed to trust the guild’s information more than her words. Even if that wasn’t the case, people tended to believe only what they could see.

Khalid touched Alice’s br*asts and kissed her neck. His manhood, which had been painfully hard for a while, poked against Alice’s back.

“Alice…”

They had done it at Blake’s mansion, but he wanted to do it again. Even if he embraced her every day, his member easily became aroused for Alice.

When he spread her thighs, her womanhood was clearly visible.

“Haaa. Alice.”

He inserted his fingers with a squelching sound, but there was no reaction from Alice.
