Chapter 13

Every time Aldrick tried something new, an indescribable sensation surged through Violet’s entire body.

Whenever he pressed his teeth lightly against her skin without hurting her or kissed her gently, a sharp, tingling shock tightened across her frame. Her toes curled on their own, and a helpless feeling washed over her. She felt anxious and impatient, yet at the exact same time, she desperately wished he would not stop.

Because of this, there was nothing Violet could do except hold him close, wrapping her arms tightly around Aldrick’s golden hair as he buried his face against her chest.

Aldrick was completely entranced by her body and her reactions. Every time she felt something pleasurable, he persistently awakened and stimulated her senses even further.

His face looked strikingly different from usual in those moments. Ordinarily, Aldrick possessed the gentle face of a kind young man, but whenever he desired her, his expression shifted into that of a focused, relentless man.

‘I wonder if Aldrick looks like this when he acts as a knight, too.’

Thinking about it made her feel strangely excited. The contrast was unbearably thrilling, and Violet had to try hard not to let out a deeper groan.

Having left kisses all over her body, Aldrick finally reached out to another place, causing Violet to twist slightly. As his fingers moved with far more explicit intent than last time, she felt as if her mind were melting away.

She was much more aroused than before. She felt embarrassed that he might notice, but instead, Aldrick seemed delighted that her body had responded this way. His hand moved smoothly, as though it knew exactly where it needed to go. Under his delicate touch, Violet’s face flushed as hot as it possibly could. Yet at the same time, the feeling was madly heavenly.

Sensations she had not noticed last time burst forth from the tips of his fingers. Violet, who had previously been too embarrassed to let go of her restraint, experienced her sense of reason flying away at a single moment.

“Aldrick… Aldrick…”

As she called out his name and clung to him, she could feel Aldrick gritting his teeth to hold himself back. He pushed her further until she was wandering in ecstasy, begging him. Whether he was encouraging her or simply wanting to devour her, Aldrick kept kissing her ears, the nape of her neck, and her chest.

As she accepted everything he gave her, Violet’s mind suddenly went completely blank, and she felt a dizzying sense of floating, as if her body were weightless in the air. Only later did she realize that this feeling was the pinnacle of pleasure, the absolute peak of sensation.

When she was finally freed from his touch, Violet’s body slumped down like water-soaked cotton. Every part of her felt soft and melted, like softened butter.

Before she even had time to feel embarrassed, Aldrick settled himself in front of her. He looked completely desperate and short on composure.

Despite her intense shy embarrassment, Violet looked straight into his eyes. She liked the way he looked down at her so passionately. She loved the feeling of being wanted by him. Violet let out a hot sigh and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Everything was much more natural than on their first night. It was quite different from that day when two inexperienced people collided with nothing but overwhelming passion. Though he was still impatient and eager, Violet felt much more at ease this time because she at least knew what was going to happen.

Aldrick never took his eyes off Violet.

He leaned close against her. His large frame pressed upon her body and mind. Along with a subtle anticipation, she honestly felt a small touch of fear. She thought she would be completely fine, but this act was still unfamiliar to her.

‘Will I ever get used to this, even if a lifetime passes?’

She thought she was fully prepared, but a remaining sense of discomfort made her squeeze her eyes shut tightly.

“Violet, does it hurt? Should I stop?”

He was extremely sensitive to Violet’s reactions. The moment she showed even the slightest sign of discomfort, Aldrick immediately pulled up his body and checked on her feelings. Yet at the same time, he wore an expression as if he might cry if she told him to stop right here.

Violet shook her head, not knowing whether she felt like laughing or crying.

“I’m fine. Just… slowly. Please go slowly.”

Since she did not reject him, he frantically apologized while continuing his movements. Violet also tried to relax and accept him comfortably, unlike the first night. Soon, their bodies drew close once again, and a heavy warmth pressed down upon her body.

After giving Violet a moment to get used to the feeling, Aldrick held her tightly, as if he could no longer endure it. At first, he was careful. But as he pulled away and drew close again, a massive force like a tidal wave washed over her. Feeling a sensation that seemed to rise all the way to her throat, Violet twisted her body.

“I’m sorry, Violet…”

As he guided her a bit more gently, the suffocating feeling disappeared. Soon after, a lukewarm sensation began to spread. It was a feeling difficult to describe.

It was a very small spark. A tiny spark lit by Aldrick.

Last time, everything had passed by frantically before she even had a chance to feel that spark. But tonight, Violet could feel it clearly.

The spark that Aldrick had ignited grew bigger little by little. Something intense and wild that she had vaguely experienced before swept up her spine. Entwining her arms, legs, and everything she could around his firm body, Violet swayed along with his movements. His hot body heat, skin soaked in sweat, and rough breath surrounded her like a dream.

The end came before long. As Aldrick’s movements became wild like an uncontrollable beast, Violet realized that he was about to reach his climax, just as she had earlier. The spark inside her, which had grown as large as it could, seemed satisfied with Aldrick’s touch.

As if his destination were only one place, he blindly engraved himself into her again and again.

Before long, Aldrick let out a fierce groan against the nape of her neck and poured out his final passion.

Recognizing for the first time the flame that Aldrick had passed to her, Violet warmly embraced his large body back.

✦ ✦ ✦

The end of their intimacy felt delightfully drowsy.

Violet realized that her body was far less exhausted than on the first night. Unlike that day when she had fallen asleep as if passing out, the proof was that today she was lying against Aldrick’s shoulder, enjoying his warmth.

The fact that Aldrick had let her rest after only twice, unlike their wedding night, might have also played a role.

In any case, she found herself quite liking this comfortable, cozy atmosphere.

Aldrick seemed to feel equally relaxed, as he had his eyes closed while playing with her thick brown hair. His softly relaxed face looked so handsome that Violet’s heart fluttered without her realizing it.

“Aldrick.”

“Mm?”

When Violet called out, he gave his usual gentle response. His voice was also relaxed and low.

After enjoying Aldrick’s blissful face for a moment, a sudden thought crossed Violet’s mind, making her heart sink.

How had she forgotten about that until now? Violet sat up abruptly, forgetting the fact that she was not wearing a single thread of clothing.

She did not want to ruin this peaceful time, but once the thought entered her mind, it would not go away, making it impossible to stay calm.

“Violet?”

Surprised by her reaction, Aldrick also sat up and adjusted his position.

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing that something was unusual from Violet’s expression, Aldrick carefully took hold of her arm.

“You… do you know that if we keep doing this, a baby will come?”

At Violet’s hesitant words, he wore a speechlessly frozen expression for a moment.

“Did you not know?! Even if you are young—”

When Violet questioned him in surprise, Aldrick hurriedly shook his head.

“No, that’s not it. I knew. I just forgot about it for a moment.”

“That’s a relief then…”

‘I wondered if I had to teach him even that.’

Violet let out a sigh of relief. However, Aldrick looked slightly pouting, as if displeased about something.

“And I’m not young.”

“You’re three years younger than me, what do you mean?”

“…Anyway.”

“Anyway, what I want to say is, if we keep living together like this, a baby will eventually come.”

Aldrick went silent again.

It was clear that, just like Violet, he had not given much thought to such a thing either.

“Aldrick?”

“I’m sorry. It’s just so sudden. Ah, don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that it doesn’t feel real yet…”

“It just came to my mind a moment ago, too. I can’t even imagine what it would be like if a baby came.”

Even so, she somehow did not dislike the idea. During the wedding ceremony, Violet had worried about a dark and gloomy future, but while living with Aldrick, she had come to dream of a rosy future before she knew it.

“Well, don’t you think it’d be nice? Then we would become a truly complete family.”

When Violet said this with a gentle smile, she felt the hand wrapped around her shoulder tighten its grip.

Looking up at him, she saw a deeply moved and overwhelmed look on his face.

‘What a relief. It seems he doesn’t dislike the idea of a baby either.’
