Chapter 14
Rosenia kept her mouth shut before barely mustering up an answer.
“Ah, n-no you can’t.”
“…”
Afraid that she said it too timidly, she refused again sharply.
“Y-you can’t…!”
But this time, her voice shook again, so she looked even more timid.
‘Damn it! Why is it so hard to refuse this man’s request? It’s probably because of that incredible handsome face. I’m sure!’
“Why not?”
“…”
Llewellyn looked at her as if he really didn’t understand. It was so absurd that she didn’t know how to reply.
As Rosenia looked at him with a dumbfounded look on her face, he pleaded with a pitiful expression.
“Rose, you’ve been touching me indiscriminately. But I can’t touch you?”
“W-what? When did I do that?!”
Her body fluttered up and down in denial. However, she was sitting on his thigh and couldn’t move at all because he held her upper body tightly.
Blinking his eyes in bewilderment, he lowered his eyes as if he was a victim and spoke.
“The day you brought me to this villa. You took off my clothes and felt my body…”
“Ack! When did I do that?! I just took off your clothes!”
It was so outrageous that Rosenia was freaking out.
‘When did I ever do such a shameless thing? I just took off his clothes because they were wet!’
“I really did take off your clothes, but I never touched your body!”
“But you wanted to touch, didn’t you?”
“I didn’t!”
‘No, rather, this guy was awake then?!’
Rosenia grabbed him by the collar and snapped.
“You were awake then? Then why didn’t you get up?”
“Ah…”
Llewellyn dodged her gaze, and again, acting pitiful, continued.
“I was conscious, but I couldn’t even open my eyes because it was too difficult.”
“…”
‘Why does it seem like a lie? Certainly…he’s speaking with clear eyes and an honest face. But why does it feel so suspicious?’
While narrowing her eyes and observing him, Llewellyn discretely grabbed her hands and spoke.
“I’m not lying. I thought I was going to die then.”
“…”
His word struck her. Why did he, the Duke of Rasiane, collapse on the Hill family’s property, and even by himself? She had to ask…
‘Should I ask him now?’
Observing his face, Rosenia spoke.
“Hey, Duke-”
Kiss.
“…?!”
A sudden sensation on her palm made her body stiffen.
Llewellyn began to wildly kiss her palm.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
‘W-what’s he doing all of a sudden?’
Frightened out of her wits, she tried to pull her hand away. But Llewellyn, who held her wrist tightly, didn’t let go.
Kiss-
“Ah, ah, why suddenly…”
After kissing her palm for a long time, Llewellyn slightly licked her hand. She bounced up and down in his thigh, struggling to somehow get away. But one of his arms had already wrapped around her waist tightly.
‘Heuk…!’
Her ominous premonition of him losing his mind had become reality.
And now…his body was as hot as fire again.
‘N-no way…!’
Llewellyn Rasiane, when his mind reaches its limit after enduring the mana poisoning, would instinctively find someone to suppress it. He now had lost all reasoning.
‘No, it’s too sudden!’
Llewellyn, who had his lips buried in her palm, finally raised his head.
His emerald eyes, which Rosenia soon came upon, were drenched with a vivid madness clearer than ever.
“…Rose.”
Llewellyn called out to her in a dull voice. She nervously swallowed her breath. And her heart raced frantically.
“Rose, Rosenia.”
“H-hold on-”
“My Rose…”
Llewellyn lowered his head over her shoulder and kissed the back of her neck while caressing her cheek. He recited her name like a madman.
“Duke, please, snap out of it.”
“Ro…Ah, ugh!”
While trying to calm him down somehow, he let out a pained groan with a distorted face.
Rosenia could feel his arms trembling while in his embrace. With ragged breath, he buried himself deeper in her arms. As if he was an injured animal.
‘W-what am I supposed to do…’
In the end, Rosenia realized that his condition had become very serious. She was the only one who could save him now…
They were the only two at this villa, and of course there was the familiar that was of no use.
“Ugh…”
As soon as Rosenia saw him holding onto her for dear life and groaning in agony, she was overcome with fear.
‘He might really die at this rate. That can’t happen…’
Her heart pounded. She was scared. She was scared that he would die. Not because he was the male lead but because she had spent her daily life with him, even though it was only a short time.
Llewellyn was someone who had squeezed into her heart, shaking it.
Rosenia had never met such a person in her life. So she inexplicably considered him special.
Maybe that’s why. Rosenia couldn’t just let him die.
“Ah, you can’t, can’t die.”
“…”
“Don’t die, Duke…!”
Hugging him tightly, Rosenia anxiously kissed him on the cheek.
Then, as if finding it ticklish, Llewellyn tossed and turned. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of her hand, she moved his head in search of his lips.
Llewellyn let out a soft moan as soon as their lips met. It was not long before his breath, hotter than ever, penetrated her.
Comforting him with her hand by soothing his back, she clumsily kissed him. His body was so hot that she thought she was being burned.
The mana that had been raging inside him flowed into her. She continued to slowly absorb his mana.
‘How long has it been since we kissed passionately?’
Before Rosenia knew it, she was lying under his body.
Trapped under his arms, Rosenia was out of breath from the kiss that got increasingly intense. She had made up her mind to see this to the end. She thought that rather than letting him suffer by kissing him now and then, that it would be best to suppress his mana poisoning properly.
‘Once his condition is a bit better, that’s when I’ll get in touch with his family.’
One night, or maybe a couple of times…Rosenia was okay with that. She didn’t think she was going to get married anyway.
But strangely, the thought of it made her heart throb. She tried to think what the reason might be, but her mind went blank at the sounds of her clothes being peeled.
“Ah…!”
Llewellyn looked down at her gently from above. At some point, the lamplight had been extinguished, and the dim moonlight illuminated him.
It was a picturesque man that only appeared in myths. The moonlight made the atmosphere more bewitching, and Rosenia looked at him like she was possessed.
“Rose…”
Llewellyn called her name as if he had come back to his senses somewhat. Gently caressing her cheek, he looked at her with affectionate eyes as sweet as honey.
Somehow. Her heart was trembling.
“I’d like to get your consent.”
His hand, which had moved to her side, combed through her hair. As if to savor the touch, he moved his hands very slowly.
“If I may, feeling you…”
“…”
“May I enter inside of you?”
“…”
This time, Rosenia couldn’t say no. Nodding her head, in a small voice, she answered.
“…Yes”
Then, Llewellyn gave a dazzling bright smile. Even the moonlight seemed to be overshadowed by his smile.
Completely possessed by his approaching lips, Rosenia quietly accepted his hand that laid on her body.
“…Since you’ve given me consent.”
“…”
“I will never ever let you go.”
Rosenia was the only one right now who could suppress his mana poisoning, so she thought Llewellyn was just saying that in a half dazed state. With a deep sigh and rigid movements, she gently embraced him.
Kissing and touching her everywhere, her body erupted into a fever from the vaginal heat.
The pain Rosenia felt for the first time in her life was soon swallowed up by the heat that began to stir.
Rosenia found herself becoming one with him as he completely devoured her.
The night, with the crescent moon shining above, had become somewhat somber and cozy. A memory Rosenia will never forget was being engraved all over her body.
The next morning, no, it was noon.
Rosenia woke up experiencing severe pain.
‘Ah, ack…! It feels like my waist is going to break!’
The night Rosenia spent with Llewellyn was truly amazing. No, it wasn’t just the night. Because it lasted until dawn!
‘Unthinkable, really…How can a person do it without rest?’
Until dawn, Rosenia was simply rolled over and over.
When Rosenia became fretful and said that she was tired, Llewellyn soothed her in a sweet voice.
There’s more to come…Rose. Let’s go a little more, please?
The voice, the pretty smile, and the handsome face pressed down on her. In tears, Rosenia nodded again and again.
‘The author had said he was unrivaled…it turned out to be true. Crazy, really…How much more will I have to endure in the future? Of course, it felt good, but it was too backbreaking! His stamina is too monstrous!’
“Should I contact the Duke’s family today?”
Muttering her thoughts out loud, Llewellyn timely appeared.
“What are you talking about?”
“Heuk.”
Rosenia didn’t commit a crime, but still flinched like a thief caught on the spot. With a summer blanket pulled up to her chest, she glared at Llewellyn. He slowly came to her side.
“Who are you going to contact?”
Asked Llewellyn with a smile. It was an unusual smile. Rosenia awkwardly smiled back at him.
‘Why is he asking? We’ll have to contact each other one day anyway. He’s not going home?’
His gaze was so intense that Rosenia couldn’t even look him in the eyes. She glanced sideways and said the most plausible explanation she could come up with.
“Your…family, you’re not going back? Your family is going to worry.”
“I’m not going back.”
“What?”
Llewellyn answered so naturally that Rosenia became speechless.
With her mouth agape, she looked at Llewellyn, who carefully lifted her up in her tightly wrapped summer blanket.
Without answering her, Llewellyn kindly smiled and asked.
“So, what do you want to do first?”
“What…?”
At this point, it seemed as if Rosenia could only utter the word ‘what.’
“Bath? Breakfast? Or…”
‘Wait, hold on. It’s not what I’m thinking, is it?’
Her thoughts became true.
“Or, me first?”
‘This is crazy. People of the world, what am I supposed to do?! This guy must have lost his mind!’
