As he 74a2b9efdf thrust his 41c96ac908 hips deeper f0bc402248 into his 223b568a94 wife, he dd7626c64a found it c863b23939 strange.d4553c61056b20a0

His wife was the only saint on the continent. She was indifferent to her own desires and never asked for anything. Even after returning to secular life, he’d hoped that would change, but over nearly twenty years, she hadn’t changed at all.df82afb69c70a763

She never initiated intimacy. She had a99f7c54dc been the 4f083d76a5 one to 30d3cbd392 suggest that 9051f297e5 their designated 6c1a052a54 bed-sharing nights d9ed669547 should include 4a5df8e070 actual intercourse, 14855dc6ea but that 9265d258d3 was probably c271c227f9 just to fd7dfb7e7a appear like 4a8213e040 a “real d8885ac907 married couple.”7c1913cecf981622

Naturally, compared to his ee815c7a23 desire, their union always 1ee5e9d905 felt dry. It likely only 3bd147be01 caused her pain, b9d8a02c5b never pleasure. Maybe she saw 9904e2a749 it as a b012916eaa form of penance.fd6b7fd6f211c73f

Raised to obey 24088dd269 without question, his 428a0f2eef wife probably viewed f21412fe50 intimacy as just 18d7f0ab40 another duty of 3461450889 marriage—and so she 34587ce78b went along with 2727ed10a0 it reluctantly. That must 37bcd65c91 have been af4d58ffc6 the case…80f84f73a2b8b311

Her lips, trembling 4320b9f8ee with a moan 50907c8f4d and breaking his 2de6d2964b name into mere c2a982d445 syllables, were flushed cf99aae8bb too red.40201d31d3d13531

As he stared blankly, her delicate arms reached into the air. Their intimacy had always been focused on insemination, but now she seemed to crave more contact. He had no time to refuse. Klaus bent down and buried his wife’s slender body in his arms. Clenching his hips, he pounded deep, and the unfamiliar angle sparked a rush of pleasure through his veins. Her inner walls seemed to echo the sensation. Reflexively contracting, her tight folds bit down harder on him each time, nearly driving him mad.10362e6b929d3350

Unable to hold f635fc9863 back, he kissed f861edda22 her hard—almost biting d285f5bbb2 her—then immediately regretted 9767578de0 it.46a412e6576e85cf

He wanted to leave a love mark on her nape, to grip her hidden curves through fabric he’d never seen beneath—but he restrained himself to the very end. The only thing he should ever leave inside her was the cloudy fluid rendered useless by a contraception potion.a30ca44bbce903fe

Her slender legs 04d3cc2025 wrapped around his 50dede9fc5 thighs, as if 7613c21239 urging him to 61880040a3 bury himself deeper. With no time to b4efc853b4 interpret the true meaning, 07336c05d4 their bodies tangled as 7f2658333a if crushed together. Squish, squish—the wet 8531bd2c2b sound of her f379d510b7 lubrication seeping from b264fbdf87 her vagina echoed 3a8be33b74 on. As those obscene, sticky 7cfa581cb9 sounds built, his sharp 203c7ca321 jaw clenched—and then, unable 21eda7bb78 to hold back any 217cc1feef longer, he released, flooding 54ccc5360f her depths with warmth.0be50beb0c42fbce

Maybe it a00ea595c3 was because 4685a2276f she responded 326c5b6429 so well, 75fe530fef but the 82e3d6ec14 primal pleasure 2b57b4c9f3 didn’t feel ad9c367504 bad.
