Chapter 66

Doing this for a short while was manageable, but if it went on too long, it became impossible to endure. I wondered how Nardi could keep going for so long. My breathing grew heavier, my movements slowed, and I began to collapse.

“Hah, hah….”

“Lift your hips properly, senior. No, Eloise.”

He lifted and held my pelvis up.

“I’m tired, you do it now.”

“Good job. If it’s hard, don’t hold it in. Just say so like that.”

Like flowing water, he picked up the movement and began thrusting.

“Haa…!”

Even with the same pillar of flesh, the intensity changed depending on who led the movement. I had been relatively careful and shallow, but Nardi pushed in with force, and the pleasure spiked sharply. My cervix felt like it was being pushed back, and the wrinkles of my vaginal walls felt like they would all stretch out. In the hot air, even louder, more explicit sounds echoed.

Squelch, puck, squelch, puck-

Now I wasn’t collapsing from exhaustion but from pleasure. Only the part of my pelvis he held stayed raised, while my face and chest were buried into the sheets. His fierce thrusting shook my body and made my mind go hazy.

“Haa, do you want to lie flat?”

“…Huh? Oh.”

It took me a beat to understand and answer.

Maybe he pitied the state I was in, because he pulled me up a little and made me lie flat in the center of the bed. He didn’t put his weight on me, but climbed over me and pounded into me from above. In the sharp waves of pleasure, and somewhat humiliatingly, he used the tips of both hands to spread my buttocks apart as if he were splitting them open. My sex below naturally opened as well, making the movement of his shaft going in and out even clearer.

“Hnng, there, there….”

“Here?”

The front part of his shaft focused on the deepest and narrowest passage. With speed that seemed to pick up momentum and strength that felt overwhelming, I fell into ecstasy. My legs stretched out behind me kicked up and fell, flailing as I cried out. The endless repetition and variations of his thrusting made the pleasure rise higher, the floating sensation grow stronger, and then I hit a second climax.

“…!”

My whole body tightened, and no sound came from my open mouth.

In a moment that felt frozen in time, I was swallowed by the peak of pleasure.

Like standing in pouring rain, I felt every indescribable sensation directly.

“Haa…!”

As my breath burst out and the tension drained from me, time began to move again. Heat spread through my limbs, melting my whole body. It felt like I had fallen into a sea of flowing magma.

Nardi’s thrusting felt both infinitely distant and impossibly close. I could tell he was matching himself to me, rushing toward his own peak. His maximum speed and power prolonged the sensation of climax. When I was still lingering in that realm, he pushed in deep and released.

“Huu….”

A hot, heavy amount of liquid filled me completely. Even though it was his second time, it was just as thick as the first, layering over what was already inside me. Maybe he really didn’t like that my stomach had flattened again. Nardi filled my belly fully with his liquid. Because of that, the sense of fullness increased and my stomach rose in a small swell.

After releasing the white fluid and slowly rubbing the inside, he pulled his shaft out completely.

“Hngh…!”

As the pillar that had been like part of my body slipped out, my tender flesh ached, and liquid spurted out like blood. His injury suddenly came to mind again. My entrance gaped wide and throbbed with each pulse, and more liquid streamed out.

“Eloise.”

He flipped my collapsed body over and checked my face and pussy alternately. Before he could say anything, I spoke first, preemptively.

“Let’s sleep. Please.”

If we did it again, I really would faint. Even now, I was seconds away from blacking out.

“Alright. I’ll wake you up later.”

He smiled and leaned down toward me. Maybe he still had energy left, because he buried his face against different parts of my body, inhaling my scent and kissing me everywhere. Even though I was sweaty and a bit self-conscious, I didn’t even have the strength to care anymore. I thought that once I got some sleep, I needed to properly finish healing Nardi’s wound. I couldn’t do it right now….

Sinking into the deep afterglow, I fell asleep while feeling Nardi kiss my chest.

“From the beginning, if any other man came to visit me because I was sick and said he’d suck my breast, I would’ve rejected him instantly. There’s nobody who could do that except you, and I accepted it because it was you.”

“At first, I honestly didn’t know how long we’d be seeing each other, but the more we dated, the more I liked you, so later I thought we’d be together for a long time.”

Nardi looked down at his sleeping lover and quietly replayed those moving words again and again.

Truly, she was a lover who lifted and dropped his heart with the face of an angel. The words that came out of those small red lips could throw him into hell or return him to heaven. Sometimes he almost felt resentful toward her because of that, but whenever he saw her pretty face, his heart softened endlessly.

The night Eloise was summoned to the queen’s palace.

“Our relationship started from a one-night stand anyway. To be honest, I never planned on it lasting long.”

“Us meeting. For me, it was just a fling… and I think it’s time to end it.”

With a face drained completely white, as if something terrible had happened, she drove a blade straight into his heart. Their blissful relationship that made him feel like he possessed the whole world had continued long enough for his lingering insecurity to fade. He’d finally begun to believe that Eloise really did like him. And in a single moment, that insecurity became reality. With her final declaration of their breakup, he fell from heaven into hell.

“Eloise, please….”

He begged, but she left without the slightest hesitation. She looked shaken by something and had even tried desperately to break through his protective barrier, so he couldn’t force himself to grab her.

Left alone in the dark palace, he waited just in case she came back, but Eloise never returned. Wandering the night streets like someone abandoned, he instinctively went to her house. She wasn’t there either. He had no idea where she had gone, so he waited in front of the entrance of her empty house until the night grew deep.

But no matter how long he waited, she didn’t come. In the end, without seeing her again, he had to leave for the mansion at dawn.

Hiding the agony that felt like his chest was being torn apart and the rage he felt toward the queen, he summoned his subordinates. As the young duke, he had many wizards who served him in secret and acted as his hands and feet. He assigned several of them to discreetly watch the queen and Eloise.

“….”

It was obvious the queen had forced Eloise to do something and threatened her. Just like when she made the genius wizard create a lactation-promoting potion, she must have tried to make her create something again. Unless there had been some kind of threat, Eloise wouldn’t have been that shocked or terrified. Her face had been pale with fear.

He had a guess what the queen might have demanded or what she might have threatened, but he wasn’t completely sure. It would’ve been better if Eloise had told him… but maybe she didn’t see him as someone she could trust and rely on, because she told him nothing. She only left him after announcing the breakup.

For him, the only thing he could do was take measures belatedly.

Attaching a few people to watch the queen was nothing. He simply hadn’t felt the need before, but once the queen pressured Eloise, there was nothing to hesitate over. Maybe he should’ve had her monitored since the lactation-promoting potion incident. He regretted it for once. He’d assumed it would end with just that one demand and let it go, but that had been his mistake. From now on, he ordered them to keep watch so the queen couldn’t pull anything reckless again, and he assigned people to Eloise as well.

“Protect her while I’m not here.”

For Eloise, it wasn’t surveillance but protection.

Before they started dating, during the time of his one-sided love… how should he put it… wanting to approach her purely, he had never assigned people to watch her.
