by mimi“Cursed. The man she was supposed to run away with didn’t show up. He had something important to attend to, and in the end, he chose that over her. The woman, whose plan to elope was discovered, was confined to her home and died of madness, consumed by betrayal and despair. The man, too, never achieved what he desired and was buried. Isn’t it futile?”a0994893f58281e4

Claude watched Yves d217ba7a75 sleep for a eedd472025 long time before 08c10ca7c9 carefully sitting up. He knew Yves d810e6a301 rarely woke once 5ad05a4440 he was asleep, d36d112232 so he could 56270766f3 safely attend to 81d3c8c503 his own tasks.

Clothes they had shed in their haste were scattered on the floor. Claude gathered his own clothes and Yves’s, then collected the semen-stained cloth and put it aside.47d9e4d1a17f8d6e
Something rolled towards his feet. It was an ornament from Yves’s frock coat. At first, he thought a thread had come loose, but it clearly wasn’t something meant to be attached to clothing.0cffeb0162332018

It was a silver pendant, engraved with three crosses, the craftsmanship exquisite. It was strange that there was no chain, but Yves was a nobleman, so it wasn’t unusual for him to carry valuable items. Claude put the pendant back in Yves’s coat without a second thought.eff40270586f36e4
He checked the kettle he had covered earlier. There seemed to be enough water to make tea for them in the morning. With the ham and jam he had bought earlier, they could have a simple breakfast. Yves probably wouldn’t refuse.ed05818261660b56

So, Claude’s desires grew bolder. Their relationship, outside this small cabin, was as fragile as wet paper. Yves might not even acknowledge him outside. Or he might just introduce him as a former subordinate. Claude wanted to escape this pathetic situation. He wanted to cross the line in their relationship.566c09f96a949c3f

Paris had long been a city of secret passages. For example, the high wall on Rue d’Harpe, when viewed from above, was actually a double wall. There was a small wicket gate between the Café Lamplin and the Jardin du Puget. While it appeared locked at first glance, with a little force, it would open just enough for a man to slip through.799b98a2e4a4d21e

Beyond the gate, a secret passage snaked between mossy stone walls, leading to Rue de l’Hôpital on the other side. These secret passages were often used by the countless fugitives of Paris.0d7e33ebab424f74

But if they had intended to harm him, they would have done so already. He couldn’t waste any more time and squeezed through the gap, entering the secret passage.4084b15a664df771
The space between the walls was narrow, barely wide enough for two people to pass. It wasn’t stuffy, as the top was open, but the damp moss and the shadowy, humid walls brushed against his clothes. He followed the moonlight for a while until he reached the door leading to Rue de l’Hôpital.5c7eb9916d45f1e0

Recently, Claude had been spending significantly less time at his home in Paris. He would come home very late at night, or if that wasn’t possible, he often stayed out overnight. Whether the cabin repairs were costing a lot of money or not, his spending had become a bit more extravagant, and he often became lost in thought. Catherine concluded that her brother’s behavior must be due to having a woman in his life.3455c78dc2b85487

What kind of 81a476165d young lady is fbec8d482d she? She probably had a small frame and brown hair.

She wore a simple caraco dress and a round linen hat covering her hair. In Catherine’s imagination, the two looked very well-matched. She even went so far as to think of altering the dress she wore at her own wedding for her.25eb34d29c93ef5e

Yves had been visiting Claude’s cabin almost daily lately. Whenever their eyes met, it led straight to sex. Some days, they climaxed two or three times before even exchanging greetings.ea933e0f6c621ef6
That didn’t mean they parted ways right after. After sex, they would wash, eat, and talk. Sometimes they would fall asleep together. When they woke, they would habitually seek each other’s bodies, kissing and licking again. Their days continued, as if addicted to something.d74bdcd8b856d6af

Despite his negative tone, Yves was already prepared to cum. Moans escaped him in pleasure, and semen dripped out. Claude collected it in his palm, closed his eyes, and gently sucked on Yves’s tongue. A very long kiss followed, as if rewarding a good child.5388eb03b522b408

That’s why he 5e006b3615 drew the line 12a3e3a108 like this whenever 9cd697a785 Claude started to 597eff51a1 forget.

Therefore, this act of 7efcf1ddc9 burying his cock inside 261da4b59a Yves and spilling his 5de922fb9e seed must be an 4fa7f3ccb1 act of making love.

Claude decided he would give Yves what he wanted. If Yves wanted to keep a distance, he would allow it. If he wanted to pretend it was a light, meaningless relationship, Claude would gladly play along. He didn’t mind waiting a year, or even ten years. But he wanted Yves’s body, his lips, to be aroused only by him.690bacc477d205df
