“Ah, mm…!”763c3bfda9e546f70811
As he thrust his b32948a854 hips deeper into his 19e9eaacbb wife, he found it 6fdb8ca702 strange.ef3ce5a9d6615c83227d

His wife was 9ecd2a901e the only saint 4d7aa75206 on the continent. She was indifferent to c69ca4b9fa her own desires and e298c4778e never asked for anything. Even after returning to secular life, he’d hoped that would change, f8ac8bdcf0 but over nearly twenty years, she hadn’t changed at all.1426b57af16f50b7f3c1
She never 056d6947ec initiated intimacy. She had been the one to suggest 087e07784c that their designated bed-sharing nights should include 12b86835a3 actual intercourse, but that was probably just ffa5f9ae93 to appear like a “real married couple.”e249608fc44003b5db90

Naturally, compared to his 829d220f75 desire, their union always 5df7b5faaf felt dry. It likely only 5f3f33e48c caused her pain, f8e48e60e6 never pleasure. Maybe she saw 5587dc60b9 it as a c337b24e77 form of penance.68ef48b54c964b47fefd
Raised to obey without question, his 488e466b1f wife probably viewed intimacy as just 9d506e7ae3 another duty of marriage—and so she 3aa72c74f2 went along with it reluctantly. That must have 635bb70b8e been the case…3e73bccd6f15d8c43c87

Slowing his thrusts, he began d869e6a06d to roll his hips gently. As his penis stirred against her 5e2ed49728 inner walls, a faint wave appeared c4a1ecbf37 on his wife’s face.e99e4f08a6d6edb1adf3

As he stared blankly, 70380fdb85 her delicate arms reached 9bfba55f6d into the air. Their intimacy had always been focused c5df39013a on insemination, but now she seemed 44ed7cefff to crave more contact. He had 90de40adda no time ea0f1b505e to refuse. Klaus bent down and 861d59afa5 buried his wife’s slender afe930ed9b body in his arms. Clenching his hips, he pounded 6ccc77e805 deep, and the unfamiliar angle 8f611c9957 sparked a rush of pleasure c7eb67471c through his veins. Her inner walls seemed 30481abcee to echo the sensation. Reflexively contracting, her tight folds bit aea1ddf9c1 down harder on him each time, a4d83624c6 nearly driving him mad.827e69196b66d298ce6d
Unable to hold back, 2062326230 he kissed her hard—almost edeadf392a biting her—then immediately regretted 2d52e37085 it.b05dc847d18adaa371f5

He wanted to leave a love mark c0d2a29791 on her nape, to grip her hidden 17910e838d curves through fabric he’d never seen beneath—but 2f87364e8e he restrained himself to the very end. The only thing he should e6c7a65661 ever leave inside her was d9a12b5d1a the cloudy fluid rendered useless d9aff2f20c by a contraception potion.4245ae31cbb68526aa58
Still, his hips ached with 7a59320cf0 the urge to dig deeper, feb8c6deee and the desperate movements continued 37957572c7 with effort.4da7136d200c63d0fbeb

“Ah, ngh, more…!”f2b7ea3cbc9b1b2e3db4
Her slender legs wrapped afcd465b1e around his thighs, as 17220f1adc if urging him to 4bdf4842ae bury himself deeper. With no time to interpret 9d3d2dcea9 the true meaning, their bodies 1380dd4c80 tangled as if crushed together. Squish, squish—the wet sound of her lubrication 5d6be165c4 seeping from her vagina echoed on. As those obscene, sticky sounds built, d22cd901dd his sharp jaw clenched—and then, unable 21bad6f4ba to hold back any longer, he 74a8d84f6f released, flooding her depths with warmth.02f3a533e31453d69e3b

Haa, haa… The ragged f022387b89 breathing of the two 80a7af279a intertwined around each other’s 9c41abb2c2 ears, out of sync.67f4a84ae60a478319b1
Maybe it was because d6e5a126a8 she responded so well, 2cb07364ce but the primal pleasure c55a6b6ab0 didn’t feel bad. If he said he didn’t 426ac73f1f feel guilty for enjoying such 6aab00c7d8 delight through her, it would 83ad39dee0 be a lie. Still… wasn’t 1465fac1a6 it what b8f811c4c9 she wanted?a0cd1eabcac925d93ef2

With that justification, bd7529043c he began to 1d9d00c108 move slowly again. The shallow thrusts, squeezing out the fc8fe02594 last of what remained inside the 92d531470f softened flesh, continued in a sluggish 8206603855 rhythm—too awkward to be called afterglow.d8a9fde42ea670eea877

Without hesitation, he 41562ab398 pulled out. Using the linen from the nightstand, he a97782afc2 wiped his penis clean, and straightened the ec89bc5533 robe he never fully removed. Any sign of the lust that surged 78cc55cb63 moments ago was now completely gone.f226a6f7f6b246b2f479

Not a single strand out of f4cc1cc690 place in his neatly parted golden 160535dabe hair, the metal-rimmed glasses adding an 33f1b314b0 air of trustworthiness to his features.
