    Before Reina could even realize that the man who had suddenly appeared was indeed the Lord she used to look after, his lips silenced her breath as he pressed down on her.

     

    Without giving her a moment to collect herself, he invaded her, as though he were desperately craving something, as though he felt exhilarated to finally have her. His wildly moving tongue explored Reina’s mouth without restraint.

     

    “Ah, M-my Lord…!”

     

    Reina tried to push him away by pressing against his chest, but his hand firmly gripping the back of her neck held her, making it clear he had no intention of letting her go.

     

    “S-stop…!”

     

    The hot breath seeping between their parted lips made her dizzy, and Reina couldn’t hold on to her fading consciousness.

     

    The strength in the hands pushing against Sedian’s chest gradually waned. At that moment, Sedian lifted Reina’s body into the air.

     

    “I told you.”

     

    Sedian finally spoke for the first time as he rushed in through the door of Reina’s house. His voice was much deeper and huskier than the last time they were together. Just from that brief tone, Reina felt a chill run down her neck.

     

    “I asked you to stay by my side.”

     

    Carrying Reina, Sedian strode toward the bed. His movements were fluid as he laid her down and climbed on top of her.

     

    “But you broke your promise to me.”

     

    Sedian took a handful of Reina’s hair, which now reached down to her chest.

     

    “So why should I listen to you?”

     

    His gaze shifted as his hand moved to cradle the back of Reina’s neck and earlobe. He tilted his head, locking eyes with her.

     

    “Don’t make excuses that you had no choice. It’ll only make things more miserable.”

     

    Their faces were so close their noses nearly touched.

     

    Looking into his blue eyes twisted with anger, Reina thought for a moment that the man before her might not be the Sedian she once knew.

     

    “M-My Lord.”

     

    “You knew, didn’t you?”

     

    Sedian pressed his thigh firmly between Reina’s legs, biting down on her lower lip.

     

    “You knew that I loved you.”

     

    Reina closed her eyes tightly.

     

    She knew. How could she not?

     

    When she ran away from the mansion, one of the lingering shadows in her heart was Sedian’s feelings for her. Yet, Reina chose to flee. She couldn’t stay with Sedian. She had to.

     

    She thought enough time had passed that Sedian would have forgotten her by now. She thought he would have dismissed his feelings as nothing more than a passing infatuation and fallen in love with someone like Giselle. She really believed that.

     

    But.

     

    “I never forgot you for a single moment.”

     

    She was wrong. Perhaps she had chosen the wrong answer all along.

     

    “What about you?”

     

    Reina slowly opened her eyes, which she had squeezed shut. She looked at his jawline, now more defined, proving that he was no longer the soft and gentle boy he once was. Though not much time had passed, as the curse weakened, it seemed Sedian had finally reached the end of his postponed growth.

     

    No, if she thought back, even the last time she saw him, he had already looked almost like a grown man. But why did he feel so unfamiliar?

     

    “Did you forget me?”

     

    His voice, low and filled with menace, made her shiver. Reina finally realized why he felt so unfamiliar.

     

    The gaze with which he looked at her, the voice that sent a chill through her body, the way he touched her—all of it felt so old, intense, and dangerous, which is why it felt strange to her.

     

    Her lips parted and closed repeatedly. She needed to say that she had forgotten, that she had lived as though he didn’t exist. But no words would come out, and her chest ached sharply.

     

    “No… even if you did forget, it doesn’t matter.”

     

    Sedian’s red lips twisted into a smile.

     

    “I’ll make you remember again.”

     

    “My Lord!”

     

    Sedian’s hand began to slide inside Reina’s shirt. At the unfamiliar touch of his hand on her bare skin, Reina flinched, twisting her body in surprise. But with his strength bearing down on her, she was completely trapped in Sedian’s embrace.

     

    “I’ve always wondered.”

     

    “S-stop…!”

     

    “Why would you like someone like me, without any real purpose?”

     

    His hand caught hold of her shirt’s collar. The hand that had been toying with the buttons near her chest suddenly tightened.

     

    “If this was your secret—”

     

    The buttons tore as her shirt was pulled open, revealing her full chest, barely covered by bandages. Sedian couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

     

    “Then I’ll use you as much as I want, Reina.”

     

    A large hand grasped Reina’s chest. The unfamiliar touch of his nails teasing her skin was something she had never experienced. A low moan slipped out of her.

     

    “M-my Lord, no… this isn’t right…!”

     

    But Sedian ignored her words. His mouth closed over her chest, his teeth grazing her skin.

     

    Reina tried to push him away, but her body kept losing strength under the strange sensation. His tongue, moving like a snake, was so stimulating that it made her body respond instantly, something she had never known.

     

    “You’ve always wanted to touch me.”

     

    Sedian, who had been sucking on her chest, grasped it in his hand again and moved his lips to her neck.

     

    “So here I am, giving you exactly that, yet you don’t seem to like it. Why?”

     

    Moving up, Sedian left kisses on her cheek, nose, and upper lip.

     

    “Ah…!”

     

    A high-pitched moan escaped her that even she had never heard before. She wanted to cover her mouth out of embarrassment, but she couldn’t.

     

    As Sedian sucked on her lips and bit down repeatedly, he delved deeper and deeper into her. He didn’t want to let go of even a single breath, no—he wanted to swallow her whole. That way, he’d never lose her again.

     

    “Ung!”

     

    Sedian’s hand moved to touch her most sensitive area. He felt a slick wetness on his fingers and chuckled.

     

    “You’re wet, Reina.”

     

    As their lips parted, a sticky sound echoed between them. But louder still was the sound of the wetness at her entrance, clinging to his fingers as he touched her.

     

    “Imagine what it would be like if I were inside you.”

     

    “My Lord, please, stop, you have to stop…”

     

    “I’m asking what you think it would be like if my… if what you touched with your hands went inside you.”

     

    “Ahh!”

     

    Sedian’s cold fingers dug into Reina’s opening. With each additional finger scraping against her inner walls, a gush of arousal spilled out. Her toes curled, and a tingling sensation began in her lower abdomen.

     

    “Haah…”

     

    Sedian gritted his teeth, trying to suppress his throbbing desire, but it wasn’t easy. Her flushed, trembling appearance was enough to provoke his sadistic tendencies.

     

    He felt a surge of satisfaction at finally pulling down the composed, caring woman from the past—who had always looked down at him with a calm yet warm expression—beneath him.

     

    “Reina.”

     

    “Aah!”

     

    As Sedian pushed his fingers deeper, a squelching sound echoed each time they stretched her inner walls.

     

    “I missed you like crazy.”

     

    He unbuckled his belt and released his manhood. His length, too large to easily hold with one hand, was already standing upright.

     

    “But even if you hadn’t wanted to see me, it wouldn’t have mattered.”

     

    “Huh… My Lord…”

     

    “Because I never planned to let you go.”

     

    He abruptly withdrew his fingers from deep within her. Staring at the fluid that once again welled and spilled out, Sedian raised his hand to his lips.

     

    Unable to bear watching him naturally lick the moisture off his fingers, Reina tightly closed her eyes. He licked his lips as if savoring a well-prepared meal, then continued.

     

    “I’ll keep you by my side always.”

     

    Sedian, already aroused for a long time, gripped his manhood, now glistening with anticipation. Holding her limp legs open, he pressed it against her thigh.

     

    Reina instantly understood what he intended. The moment the head touched her wet entrance, she urgently cried out.

     

    “My Lord, no, please… Not there…”

     

    But Sedian didn’t stop. Grasping her hips, he plunged deep inside.

     

    “Hahk!”

     

    Reina’s vision went dark. Simultaneously, she felt her lower belly fill, a sensation of pain intermingling with sharp pleasure piercing through her mind.

     

    “It’s not over yet, Reina.”

     

    Only half of Sedian’s length had entered. He spread her thighs wider with his hands and pushed in deeper.

     

    “Hngh… Ah!”

     

    With a powerful thrust, she threw her head back, overwhelmed by the pleasure surging through her. Perhaps due to his continuous caresses, the pleasure now outweighed the pain, leaving her dizzy. She couldn’t stop the breathless moans spilling from her lips.

     

    “Reina. Relax.”

     

    Despite Sedian’s words, she couldn’t comply, struggling even to fully comprehend them. The unfamiliar sensations had turned her mind blank, leaving her barely able to lift her dazed gaze and catch her breath.

     

    Sedian, cradling the back of her neck and pressing a kiss to her collarbone, began to move his hips.

     

    With each withdrawal, his thick length scraped her inner walls before slamming back in, deep and forceful.

     

    “Aah! My Lord… Hnngh!”

     

    Thrusting repeatedly, Sedian grasped her flailing arms, plunging into her without hesitation.

     

    “Hngh! Ngh!”

     

    Her body trembled uncontrollably from the waves of pleasure coursing through her. The sensation shaking her to her spine caused her uncontrollable moans to escape.

     

    “…Reina.”

     

    Holding her thighs in his arms, Sedian continued his relentless rhythm, muttering through his heavy breaths.

     

    “Touch me.”

     

    With each thrust, the wet sounds of their bodies meeting filled the air. The sticky sounds and waves of pleasure dominated her body.

     

    “And say that you love me.”

     

    Sedian drove in to the hilt as he spoke. His animalistic force pounded against her inner walls. Their entwined lips spilled sharp, rough breaths into one another.

     

    How did it end up like this?

     

    As her gasps grew shallow and her mind faded, Reina recalled meeting Sedian for the first time a year ago.
