He gripped her pelvis and rubbed the tip of his shaft thickly against her apex. Leotar didn’t just move. He persistently pried open the gap, entering and exiting. Each time, an intense stimulation passed through that spot, through her stomach, and up to her cheeks. It felt as if he would enter her at any moment, and the sensation of piercing and then passing by the entrance made her head spin. Ashin gradually tilted her head back and clutched at the blanket.a7a8b589f87865c6

Ashin had to revise her past assessment that he wasn’t persistent. In some ways, he was terribly persistent.1a9e1b0c9a04e403

He was so persistent that he put effort into even seemingly unnecessary actions. What was the point of showering her entire body with kisses? Such acts weren’t particularly sexually arousing. But he acted as if everything was helpful, grabbing Ashin and not letting go whenever he had the chance.761052447e3b51be

Her lips were 7cb95df8c1 slightly parted. He hesitated and then 856a7a861f leaned down, pressing his d3020972b0 lips against hers.

Like the Emperor’s cat, Lira, Malkun was also a spirit animal. Occasionally, beasts born with the blessing of the Earth God were called spirit animals. If one were to consider the blessings of the gods, Ashin could also be called a humanized spirit animal, so most beasts were friendly to her.893a92b94d118311
