Reasons for Contract Marriage - Chapter 124

At first, Brianna thought he was helping her dismount. But her body rose only briefly—he immediately pushed her down hard. His erect member split her open and thrust in all at once.

“Ah!”

The massive thing that drove in as if tearing her entrance buried itself deep inside her. The shock left her breathless, unable to speak for a moment.

“Y-you told me earlier to do it myself…”

Brianna belatedly voiced a protest, but she couldn’t continue. Before she could say more, Lucius blocked her lips with his.

He soon pulled away and licked the tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. Then, in a gentle, coaxing tone, he asked, “Brianna, what did I tell you about how to tame a horse you’re riding?”

Brianna glared up at him. Why bring up horseback riding now of all times?

“Just think of it the same way—as if you’re riding. You know what to do then, right?”

Brianna let out a disbelieving chuckle. Could it be that there had been another reason behind his offer to teach her horseback riding?

“I recall you saying back then that horses are quick to read people and must never be underestimated.”

When Brianna snapped back, Lucius laughed. He gathered her tousled hair with his fingers and swept it over one shoulder.

Pressing a kiss to the bundle of hair, he whispered softly, “Then I’ll be a very gentle horse who never underestimates you. So do as you please.”

“What do you expect me to even do…”

Before she could finish, he slowly began to move. Brianna let out a shallow moan as she felt his member drag along her inner walls. Lucius also exhaled languidly, gripping her waist with both hands.

“Relax your body and let it follow the movement naturally.”

It was exactly what he had said when teaching her to ride a horse. Horses were incredibly sensitive and could sense when their rider was stiff. In such cases, they would never surrender control and moved in unintended directions. When movements became misaligned, it only made things harder for the rider.

Recalling that, Brianna began to move gently. Relaxing and matching his rhythm, her body swayed forward and back in a smooth motion. With that steady pace, shallow pleasure began to build gradually within her.

“Now move however you want.”

Just as sweet moans began to spill from her lips, he spoke again. At his words, telling her to move on her own, her face flushed bright red. She shook her head hastily, but he made no move to help her—he simply went still, as if to show he had no intention of indulging her.

With no other choice, it was Brianna who grew desperate once the pleasure came to an abrupt halt. If she wanted more, she’d have to move on her own.

She carefully lifted her body, bracing herself on his chest and sitting upright. The movement tightened her entrance, and Lucius let out a moan. Encouraged by that, she slowly began to move.

“Ah…”

Brianna soon realized just how different this was. Before, she could only receive the pleasure he gave—but now, she could seek it out herself, adjusting to where and how his member pressed against her inner walls.

More than anything, in this position, she could clearly see Lucius’s expressions. Each time she moved, his breath grew heavier, and his face contorted in pleasure.

She began to understand why he always pushed her to her limits in bed.

I want to drive him crazy. Just for this moment, I want him to be filled with nothing but me.

Unable to endure it any longer, Lucius gripped her buttocks and started thrusting again. At first, he simply bounced her lightly upward, but soon, he began to slam his hips upward violently.

“Haahk!”

His powerful force made her body jolt. His thick shaft ravaged her swollen insides. Perhaps because of the position, he seemed to reach much deeper than before. Each time he rubbed and stabbed at a place she’d never felt before, shivers shot up her spine.

Shaken wildly front to back and side to side, her entire body became drenched in sweat. Her hands, pressed to his abdomen, were slick with it.

“Ahng… ah!”

Unintelligible moans spilled from her mouth. When she tried to pull away, unable to endure the overwhelming pleasure, he seized her neck and kissed her.

“Mmm…”

His hot tongue parted her tender inner flesh and stirred inside her mouth. All the while, the wild thrusting from below didn’t stop. Brianna was flattened atop his body, shaking uncontrollably. Even knowing it was too much for her to handle, he didn’t let go—neither of her lips nor of the hands gripping her buttocks. Instead, he held her tighter against him, forcing her down, while his hips pounded madly upward.

Each time his member struck deep inside, her vision flickered and moans erupted uncontrollably. But most of those gasps were swallowed into Lucius’s mouth.

Finally, a scream-like cry slipped between their joined lips. At the same time, the heat he released drenched her insides.

Panting heavily, Brianna looked down. From the tightly joined point of their union, cloudy liquid seeped out.

“Ah…”

Shocked by the sight for only a moment, she soon lost all strength. Her exhausted body collapsed onto his chest.

Lucius turned and laid her on the bed. Though she finally got to lie on her back, it wasn’t over. He immediately spread her legs and draped them over his shoulders.

“You’re the one who started this tonight, Brianna.”

He kissed the inside of her knee. As his member, already having filled her with his release, plunged in once more, Brianna let out a faint moan.

And that night, she fully paid the price for arousing him first with that kiss.

***

After that night, Lucius came to her room almost every night. Unless something unusual happened, he always made love to her in her bed and fell asleep there.

The first to notice the change were the mansion’s servants. The duke, who used to stay in the duchess’s room only twice a week on scheduled nights, now shared breakfast with her there almost every day. On rare mornings when the duchess slept in, he would leave a message asking not to wake her and quietly exit the room.

Their relationship had always been good, but it was clearly better now. Seeing them glued together daily, the servants whispered with subdued laughter that they might soon be welcoming a little one.

“Luce… This is kind of weird…”

And ever since they began kissing, Lucius had developed one annoying habit—he would silence her with a kiss whenever she protested or didn’t go along with what he wanted.

It was the same now. Though she lay face-down on the bed as he’d asked, the position felt humiliating. In this posture, he would clearly see not only her bottom but also the other, far more embarrassing area.

More than anything, to her knowledge, only animals made love this way. In Harzen, she had seen cows and horses mate, and the males would mount the females in exactly this position.

This was too primitive, too primal.

“Just like before…”

Wanting him to embrace her the usual way, Brianna bent her knees. She tried to turn her body—but before she could, Lucius leaned in from behind and captured her lips.

“Mmm…”

As his hot tongue slipped through her lips, Brianna closed her eyes. By now, his kisses had become so skilled that they alone made her dizzy. And as always, he used them to shift things in his favor.

Once he was sure she had completely melted, Lucius pulled back his tongue.

“It’s not weird at all.”

Then, smiling at her dazed expression, he continued, “So lie down. Brianna.”
