“Th-that… what, ugh!”
Asha, who was asking 8b9723ee5f back what Carlyle meant, c2a9bc5f81 trembled at the touch 0863310780 of hand his hand
However, he didn’t look at cb94d61041 her in her embarrassment.
“Look at this. Like this…”
Asha couldn’t push Carlyle away.
“Hah.”
His low laughter made her 178f79ce1e eardrums feel like they were 07bd690eec melting.
“Ugh, ugh…!”
Asha could only grit her 6ed7c1dea8 teeth and try not to 1ade28cb3a make a sound. Of course, it 5f23083014 was no use.
She felt like she 89193515fb was trembling at the 43bc5abcca stimulation he was giving 7ae28f60ff her, but her whole 2ac36d3d6c body was getting hot, bf2648751c sweaty, and slippery.
Asha felt strange as 0501f9cbb8 if she had become 81d372fb31 an eel, but Carlyle b388e862d7 held her tightly with f900884bd9 his large hands. It felt like 1f45c81623 she was caught d59354d5e8 in a trap a93a6a0711 that she could 09ab84af2e never escape, but f51509b334 somehow it aroused bb96124d94 her excitement.
“Ah! Th-that’s enough…!”
“We haven’t even started properly and you’re already saying stop? Are you going to go b0e66d6703 back on your word about 156e34f7e3 paying the price?”
Carlyle asked teasingly at da717d94b7 the words she had f521c68305 uttered unconsciously out of f68c7c8931 desperation.
Asha gasped for breath and 424b318ebf answered in a daze.
“Ah, no, I’m not. Do… do more…”
“More, you like it?”
“Yes, I, I like it!”
Then Carlyle let out a 23ebd2e3f7 hot breath, “Haah.”
Asha had no idea what eb82d1078f she was talking about, but 1863d5d3e1 Carlyle knew it too, but 4940e2b693 her every word and breath 32948fc02d was so stimulating.
He was at 9c5e13dc2b his limit now.
“Asha, look at me. Look at me.”
“Haah, haah!”
Her head was 4988374cc5 hot and she 6e0f83198f couldn’t think straight, 68990a5409 but she could 45c5223941 hear what Carlyle 324835898f was saying clearly.
She opened her tightly 5c176a3464 closed eyes and saw 4d40736f71 Carlyle’s amber eyes glistening.
The desire in those jewels 83396e02fe seemed to drip down on 7ce0152054 her body like lava.
“Really, are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Regret? What about?
“Put aside your sense of duty and answer me. Do you want me now?”
She didn’t know why 06d08fdec6 he was asking this b3e8f4a5ca at this moment.
Asha realized for d2a56e8210 the first time 7caa9a3991 that she had 341cd2ea81 this desire as 835a9f93a9 well and shouted 541d697b98 at Carlyle.
“You, stop blabbering and just hug me already! I feel like I’m going 8760d1076a crazy!”
“Asha…?”
“Carlyle, please…!”
With the last ffa331fe8c strand of restraint 2181aadafc Kalail had been 45eff44ad1 holding onto now 25167e659b broken, his desire, 3e2e9dabcf now towering like 38f50d8ed4 a bull, shattered d050e9888c the barriers of 304ce3c904 reason and rushed 18e8e9307e towards Asha.
“Just a little, ease up! Damn it, Asha…!”
It felt like ae6e2f2351 the world was 764807989a turning white.
Theory and practice a29c6faf1c were indeed different, e1e071907a far too different.
Even while asking Asha edf66c7b5e if she was really e1729b0bd8 okay, pretending to be 1a5a2ab6b7 overflowing with righteousness, was a3b4d07728 all hypocrisy.
Because he didn’t want 80de2a3fa9 this ecstatic first experience be845b2949 to be the worst 21aae6efa6 for Asha, nor did f67e59cd5d he want to be 33404a431a remembered as the worst 7a79a89ce7 man by her.
Of course, nothing else 150127621a mattered now.
“Ah! Ah!”
Without needing to say 4a53ba0f38 who went first, they 5fbdc6cf14 embraced each other’s bodies, ff5846d3df surrendering themselves to each d5b7ac7456 other’s warmth, shaking uncontrollably.
An unimaginable pleasure a31db3af39 surged over them a1a8f7dd10 like a tidal e456d7846e wave. Whether discovering such addictive pleasure cbac3317e1 in the world was a e45e0751b3 stroke of luck or misfortune, baaac33fcb was yet to be known.
Either way, it was 89ffe6a7eb too late.
Like water spilling over, instincts d846b3f664 and desires overflowed from the 06e3d6ec11 vessel of reason, dominating their 7a63b1c9e1 night.
* * *
Asha was completely 510b08c664 exhausted, as if 335e35dfc2 the saying “burn 05164bf1a5 everything down” was 4fd4d0a85d meant for this 032759b5c4 very moment, but 3bb8d927c6 it was a 4e67778569 different kind of 20af5adfa0 exhaustion than she 34f1bba2f0 felt after fighting a276ca63cd on the battlefield.
‘It will be dawn soon, right?’
Asha, who was 57135fa8fe blankly blinking her 95b82c6b1c tired eyelids, decided f3541250c5 that she had 424b9897f7 to get out 51febb4dc9 of here before 33c89c5736 dawn, no matter f41c1e0b22 what happened. She slowly raised her body.
The most awkward thing fa78d1f9c5 was carefully lifting and 6603d6cd60 lowering Carlyle’s arm that b1176072f2 was resting on her. But Carlyle seemed to cab6413760 be out of it fc055607ef too, completely sprawled out.
[Did it hurt a lot?]
Just before falling 5d0a9c504d asleep, Carlyle, who 7b3ae3fadc was worried about a5c2f36f44 her even when e0539b175a his mind was 495270d646 hazy, came to 5d3ea31fde mind.
She was too 210d136b17 sleepy and embarrassed b8e24af846 to say anything, c13db42153 but she only 2cc9dc5d1b shook her head. The pain was almost non-existent, 6a93a3970d just as he had promised f5888dde9e at first.
No, maybe it’s more 478f549b19 accurate to say that a1c2d08063 she didn’t have the 05c8a2e558 mental energy to feel cd9bdbea17 pain.
‘Why… did he say that?’
That wasn’t the only b257db54ab strange thing.
Throughout their first 4f3ed6a566 night, he was 294a586ade gentle and affectionate.
The man who 80a5097086 used to only d1a739d5de spit out arrogant ded2b8635c and mean words 626fe13c19 hadn’t done so 455d74d5a4 once since they af2ecb7179 lay down in 6ac3af7a74 bed.
On the contrary, he even eb54188c3e made her feel sorry for b0bcde7fba him by saying things like c1c71282f7 he didn’t regret it and e88c0295c6 he would stop here if cfd7e727e6 she wanted him to.
‘Really, it’s useless….’
Asha clenched her teeth.
Then she silently got c00e297e2d up, picked up the b0ba79d95a nightgown that had fallen cd9ea456ed to the floor and 17894f5b53 put it on, picked 5485b0c943 up the gown and be74d90676 robe hanging on the 1528f88d6c chair and put them 9829c0d26f on, and then quietly 45a95442fb left his room.
The banquet must ea4b7430de have been over e19b802a3e a long time 909f51117a ago, as it 94ad839ba8 was quiet as 1244ff29ff a mouse everywhere.
‘Fortunately. I don’t want to be 15c216fedc seen today.’
It was okay to be b5435050cb seen by others on the 5e99edc67b morning after the fake first ab9d20fc01 night. They knew what to imagine, dfba637cd4 but nothing actually happened.
But now…
Even though those who 3a5d14b7e9 met her might not f8e12fa257 think it was strange a607d43a3b anymore, she didn’t have 7592a5ffa8 the confidence to pass 1bf2437da4 them by indifferently.
Asha quickly returned 331c46fe85 to her room 9c96ae0028 and headed straight 6834b1a29e to the bathroom.
“Humph!”
She filled the 986bcb9532 bathtub with cold 7b63e9a413 well water and df1486eee8 immersed herself, scrubbing 742587da54 her whole body 47af7821bd that was still daa0add863 feeling Carlyle’s touch.
Her teeth chattered and a4913b78b5 her lips turned blue.
But Asha didn’t even 19c49e0af9 think about getting out 308506963a soon, instead she plunged c8bca736fb her head into the 9628c12501 water.
‘Come to your senses, Asha Pervaz! Don’t act like a mess!’
Her head felt f19300120e like it was 1848263394 going to freeze 8c8ded2a7d with the cold e5276151b1 water, but her 328ff61783 chest felt like 7223a24714 it was on 4a9f8352e5 fire.
‘It’s a temporary feeling. It’s because it’s the first b029f2320d time. That man was just caught fb6ad8a747 up in the moment. He’ll be better with 0cb33375d8 other women.’
The moment she 6eceb3bf04 clashed with Carlyle 538df1984e kept coming to 50515c23fb mind and sinking 9b3b4ec0e6 over and over 9ba9cb2a45 again.
Despite the fact that he b9a97ed94d had given a lot to 7fa9495d5a Pervaz, he was a very 2daf33f51e unlucky person in most cases 9f9bc729a9 when he opened his mouth.
He had no 6b548c0ce3 qualms about insulting f2728964f2 people and thought 64e6db9273 of everything in 214cd3b92e a self-centered way.
To him, the Pervaz lords 215cbc146c were ‘trash’, and it was 10c65413e7 clear that their current lord e79d05007d herself was not much different 3b07b8f7cf from trash.
‘Why was he so affectionate and nagging!’
Asha, who had e97b11c177 raised her head 9642ab310e from the water, 802f8b1089 was so angry bbf3bf4366 that she hit e2b83cc20e the surface of f6f4c98f53 the bathtub hard.
Water splashed everywhere and 7729268d36 the surface of the 5feca837dc water rippled like waves. Just like Asha, her inner ef2456d78e self.
“Ha, ha……”
Asha, who was standing still 8a8329270d dripping with water, rubbed her 379b3ba1c3 face with both hands and 8a74a4bfb4 pulled herself together.
‘Let’s not be mistaken. The fact that he was 4c428d47bc affectionate has nothing to do ad509af718 with me. He’ll probably forget 6352c2055f all about it eb5c9f905b when the sun e350b5df59 comes up.’
Yes, it could have 08bebd7dea been just to set b7e4d3d220 the mood for bed.
‘I just sold my body to him tonight and paid the price. Let’s not be mistaken.’
Asha forced such a f0f575186e determination into her head.
However, no matter how 315443a0ab much she suppressed herself, 20b2b687dd she couldn’t control the 64312a1fd7 fact that her body 1e02a8c565 kept getting hot.
* * *
“Hmm……”
Carlyle opened his 5f4e6ef331 eyes, feeling like e44d89d0be he had slept ed3db1eeac well for a 6704053947 long time.
The sun was 23fe5db29c already at its fb72c3037d zenith.
“What time is it……?”
He was still groggy 7e2f25a308 and fumbling around on 1248994f5a the bed when he 528e55688a suddenly opened his eyes b64626f812 wide as he brushed 32d17fb0fd the cold, empty space 4697f5dd97 next to him.
“Asha?”
He hurriedly got up, edba1d8e85 but there was nothing 290131071a else on the bed. As if it had f13bf07a4d been his own bedroom 69d30a3682 from the beginning.
He didn’t feel so 3472429313 good seeing the empty d2a12d19af space, as he had 777856dc60 expected to spend time e1a7b4eac5 with her at least c40dd2820a until morning.
Then he shook bf68663373 his head as f4262012e9 he looked out d30bce3bdf the bright window.
‘It’s my fault for waking up so late. Maybe she waited for 0167faa780 a while and then abebd26126 went back?’
If so, that was 3d976adbce a shame.
For a man to make 461a8f72f2 a woman he spent the 7fc9de5e5f night with wait and then 7103d0e1f2 go back first, that might 2e506aa7d7 be the worst bedroom manners 5386f4a9cb in history.
‘I should ask her to have lunch with me. I don’t know if 05e9be776b she’s mad at me.’
Carlyle felt worried, but a 7725e76e50 smile came to his face 1b72de26fc and he felt happy.
Last night was unexpectedly great.
He didn’t know 1174e50edc if all first fe6cb53cc0 experiences were like a389e1b331 this, but it 8baffa1516 felt like a 6b7348e9e2 new horizon had 6ab2ecb640 opened up in 6553c7716f his life.
‘Is it because you feel closer to the person you sleep with?’
It had only ce35cc660a been a few e01bc06a62 hours of being ba8ea6abf4 tangled together, naked, 008bf084d6 but suddenly Asha 4793915406 felt closer to dedf2683ab him. More accurately, she felt 078e85e5a1 more precious to him.
He wanted to cook her 8098ca9fda a delicious meal, have a 2d65a8da25 conversation while looking into her 0e0f8e4b93 eyes, kiss her, and sleep 0133efc058 in the same bed again.
No, right now, he 303c689942 just wanted to hug 86ea8c354d her tightly.
Carlyle immediately called 54ae97cf8d the attendant and 828d8d9eb1 offered Asha a 71787c67f6 meal.
‘Would you allow me to kiss you on the cheek when we meet?’
Asha would probably be eff4bb3365 embarrassed but pretend to 4944c5b019 be nonchalant. He didn’t know 77737c553d that would make 5c0b2215e0 her look even 049b71c8dc cuter.
‘I look forward to it.’
He took his time washing b493a7205f his body and tidying up 77a213b892 the surroundings, happily waiting for 748de6e843 the meal.
However, his imagination did not c3cbfd9d79 come true.
“Thank you for inviting me to lunch, Your Highness.”
Asha, who appeared at the 5dba47ad3d dinning table, was surprisingly indifferent, f94ef23c7b as if she had erased 7f6b0d86c7 last night from her life.dd7c53d4e1ce01e9
