Chapter 16

“The King ordered me to buy lingerie for a mistress that would satisfy him, and Marie Anderson said she’d give me a gift for all my hard work.”  

“A gift?”  

“Yes, something for you to wear…”  

As Daniel said this, his face turned red. Alice frowned and looked at his face.  

“Are you telling me that you picked out lingerie for me with that woman?”  

Daniel’s face flushed bright red, and he buried his forehead against Alice’s shoulder, mumbling in a small, nervous voice.  

“It’s true. I’m not lying. But honestly, now that I’m saying it out loud, even I wouldn’t believe me…”  

As he spoke, Daniel’s shoulders trembled, and he held Alice tightly. She could feel his anxiety.  

“Is it because I didn’t bleed as a virgin that you turned your eyes to that woman?”  

When Alice brought up the matter that had been weighing on her heart, Daniel’s eyes widened.  

“What?”  

“I’m asking if, after we consummated, you turned to her because I didn’t bleed as a virgin…”  

As she said this, Alice felt miserable and began to cry again. Daniel looked at her with a completely bewildered expression.  

“Alice, what are you even saying? There are plenty of women who don’t bleed. I would never misunderstand you because of something like that!”  

Daniel grabbed Alice by the shoulders and asked her,  

“What do you want me to do? How can I make you understand my feelings? I can’t stand this, Alice. I can’t bear you misunderstanding me like this.”  

Alice, with tears streaming down her face, stared at Daniel’s face for a long time. Daniel held onto her and pleaded.  

“What can I do to make you believe me? Please. I’ll do whatever you tell me to.”  

How could I confirm whether my husband, who might be cheating on me, truly loved me? Was there even a way to find out?

 Alice pondered for a moment.  

‘Should I ask Marie Anderson?’  

But if Marie Anderson was trying to gain favor with the King, even if she’d had an affair with Daniel, she would likely give the same answer as him.  

‘How can I confirm that Daniel loves me and not that woman…?’  

“Please, Alice… Say something, anything.”  

Looking at Daniel, who was anxiously awaiting her answer, Alice made up her mind.  

“Then, take off your clothes.”  

Perhaps because her request was so unexpected, Daniel, unable to comprehend her words for a moment, asked,  

“What?”  

“I said, take off all your clothes.”  

Daniel’s face turned red with embarrassment. Alice glared at him with feigned sternness.  

“You said you’d do whatever I asked, didn’t you?”  

“Ah, yes…”  

Flustered, Daniel began hurriedly undressing. His throat bobbed nervously as he swallowed.  

There was no surefire way to confirm a man’s true feelings. Since the dawn of humanity, no woman had ever discovered such a method.  

So, Alice decided to address the thing that had been gnawing at her — whether Daniel still desired her, whether he still wanted her. She also resolved to use Daniel as a tool to satisfy her own carnal desires to the fullest.  

If he truly loved her, he would love her lustful side as well. Letting go of her shame, Alice decided to test him.  

Once Daniel had stripped completely, his neck stiffened nervously as he looked down at Alice. His ears were red.  

“I… I’ve taken them off.”  

“Kneel down.”  

Saying this, Alice perched on the edge of the bed. Daniel obediently knelt on the floor. He seemed to have no idea what she was about to ask of him.  

Seeing Daniel kneeling n*ked before her made Alice’s heart race. His lean, muscular upper body, thick thighs, and the intimidating size of his p*nis caught her eye. It was slightly glistening with moisture, suggesting that the situation was arousing for him.  

As she stared intently at it, Daniel, embarrassed, tried to cover his p*nis with his hand and said,  

“I… I’m kneeling, Alice. What’s next?”  

Even though it was a moment that could be seen as deeply humiliating, Daniel looked up at her with innocent, cow-like eyes, and Alice laughed. Even in such a situation, Daniel retained the childlike innocence she had fallen in love with.  

“Daniel, this is an order.”  

With a faint smile, Alice spoke firmly.  

“From now on, you are not allowed to come near me until I give you permission.”  

“What…?”  

As Daniel looked at her in confusion, Alice slowly began undressing. Once she was completely bare, she faced him. Seeing her n*ked form, Daniel’s entire body flushed red, not just his face. His p*nis also began to stiffen.  

“A-Alice…”  

Alice stared at Daniel’s er*ect p*nis. As she looked, it swelled larger and stood upright. Daniel still desired her. Seeing him lust after her eased some of her anxiety.  

“One more time — until I give you permission, you are not allowed to come near me.”  

Alice gave him a firm command, then lay back on the bed, spreading her legs in his direction. Letting out a soft sigh, she closed her eyes and began to gently rub her groin with her fingers.  

The thought that Daniel was watching her excited her, and soon, her lower region was filled with enough arousal to produce wet, squelching sounds. Alice glanced down at Daniel, confirming that he was watching her every move as she rubbed her cl*toris softly. A wave of intense pleasure made her body shudder.  

“Ah…”  

As Alice let out a faint moan, Daniel groaned in agony. He was staring intently at her intimate area and the fingers teasing it, as well as her flushed face as she looked at him.  

“Alice, please…”  

Daniel, now fully aroused, was gripping his p*nis tightly with both hands, looking at her with desperate eyes. Alice firmly refused.  

“Not… yet… Not until I say so… Hah!”  

“Alice… Haa…”  

“Mm, mm, ahh…”  

“Alice, I’m begging you…”
