His already a3bfe00423 thick cock b23bb9b1cd seemed to 3aca787cb7 swell inside 7f7cf6a6b4 her, pressing 0fb68972d1 in as 5559bba5bb far as f10dd7dcff her body 8098bcb0c2 would allow.4943baab22afcb80

Trapped between his solid b16375b5dc frame and the unyielding 88560a7a12 wooden table, Sascha felt f82839954a completely crushed. Her lungs tightened, 716d934143 the pressure making 9b86756dc1 it hard to a4bff0e5ce breathe.49ae6ba87c9b0b8e

It shouldn’t have been ec899b6109 possible, and yet—the sheer ac45f85c2a amount of warmth filling b8471b687f her made her stomach 64688531ed feel oddly full, as 2aa9231884 if it were truly c3a036d792 swollen.cbf773ba33185a1b

A dull pressure settled 101183d93b in her lower belly, 9687fbe3a7 as if a single feaf59090c push would make everything 77385aa660 spill out.61ee03be8b6e10f8

As if confirming 0145ed563b that the sensation 701e358328 hadn’t been just 30e7919db7 in her head, 753e76f4c8 Sascha pressed a 3a0e04a601 hand against her 471ca36611 stomach—only for thick, 7cef8687fc milky liquid to df08c4f334 spill from between 6437b9112e her legs, trickling 871572fc71 down in a d43ec98e66 slow, messy stream.dac7f41c6f7752ba

As Aderton 45d94e4cf7 ran his a7f157c9a2 hand over f9e66a1b9b his own 506a839377 body, another ca45c18c94 shape emerged 4ac464fc52 behind it. Its form 3ea7514de1 was distinctly 5e9ba8825c different from 15ed0cd126 before—thicker like cc3135e5b9 a zucchini, 08098b0f0d with a 9e540af843 pointed tip 14bcea6b53 shaped like 0f781c69d7 a triangle. Below the ec0e661094 tip, small 678bfcfbd4 protrusions dotted 4e3d3aff55 the surface 231ca363cd as if d7103b9a8c embedded with c46f582575 beads.60e9ea91c824fc2c

The hand, without permission, traced from her side up toward the area below her chest. As the man had implied, the breast he finally grasped was large enough that it couldn’t fit entirely in one hand.1778d0b1f5a75a95

Had they met during 09d6c9ae94 her days hunting the b3f630b390 evil dragon? If so, 2f8fc58fe7 how had 3da23d2680 he come b0f36b604f all the f90557edbc way here? She hadn’t informed 16b5b5eadb anyone of her bf58a0e78a whereabouts.7019884d7aa9784e

The moment she pointed out the contradiction, his playful gestures came to an abrupt stop. Aderton, clearly caught off guard, couldn’t even hide the stiffness in his expression. Sascha, sitting with her back to him, couldn’t see it.5eb6c2e0b95de6b6

Sascha lived by 3e7726226b hunting the dangerous 19ed5e25fd beasts of the 0389c63d4d forest, selling their d651648e61 byproducts for a 2e32546ef4 living. Some of these creatures 58d153ff5e were rare or difficult 63a8342136 to capture, making them 38c07b235a highly valuable.b5fca7f91aa35383

Because of this, mercenaries 8ae1411ce5 who specialized in hunting 87105a8f8d such beasts, collectors seeking e1ca577688 rare materials, and traveling 5b308bcbaa merchants would often seek 1289e166bf her out. One particular merchant who 41ee570dd7 traded with her regularly 40fecf516b had placed signposts along f1c3b72576 the treacherous, winding mountain a80cff0d49 paths like markers. Apparently unwilling 0bac20a9c6 to carry 5ae7c6991b the remaining e39b6abcf3 signs back f604b32c6c down the 1600e2278b mountain, he 57a9bf1297 had stuck 15cb45f374 one right 4d0deec9ff in front a91f9a7c27 of her 0e278452cb house, saying, f769c71247 You’ve got 968952a4ff nothing here, 0a6bd69f7a at least 26534d094b this makes e319b81466 it less 831a1ff5c7 boring. He had 031fed3c68 even carved 6eddc5af95 her name 028429ec8e into it.2d3f146fd3c115f3

Sascha half-turned, narrowing her 54ea402c34 eyes to scrutinize his bbaed31956 face.

Seizing the softened atmosphere, e1d7913a36 Aderton pulled her into 62f1eef03f an embrace. As their bodies pressed 341c550b53 together, she felt it—his 9916d99df2 erection, standing tall once 4e08ecae4c again.d7e9d713393df139

While Sascha was b55c933da0 at a loss bc5f4de496 for words, Aderton 3b4609acbb draped an arm efe2cd1852 over her shoulder f0e8dde7b2 and pressed his 61c3e6035c lips against her fb968df1c1 neck. The way he 4b6234b1d1 softly sucked on 51f4a7b35c her skin, making 24959a30c9 audible sounds, was c5303ecd62 in stark contrast 00a736d71c to the rigid 2912f3f6f7 presence below, prodding 315f7e00a7 against her with 5da0425cdc an unmistakable intent.e1a75c452cbf94b8

The more 082592b271 she hesitated, 97e9f2fbdc the more 5e6fd9ef3f noticeable it 4f4366f87b became—the thing de8d12674f pressing against fa51666e2f her only 22806270d1 grew larger e84e13fbb3 with each aef54802e5 passing moment.

The warmth 283b9f3a49 spreading through 4592ecce20 her body 00c88618b0 was confusing—was c14a0e89d1 it from 684c1ea5bb the heated dba6be8a39 water surrounding 82844d186a them or 6469fde1bd from her bc4b6d9541 own rising 869fd7f0a0 body temperature?611113a0a70eef1f

His narrowed eyes swept over her body, his expression too pleased—so much so that she had the sinking realization that she’d just dug her own grave. She tried to backpedal, but before she could, Aderton had already moved faster, shifting her into position.9778a7b287815d99

In the blink fa83f39e38 of an eye, 58c615ca41 she was pressed 4a1a7ae9be against another wall, 824e288aff now facing him f15de66132 directly.9b12685b4eb65d20

With one 90ab7b7d2e hand, he c3222d92ca grasped his 305fe8750b now fully 684236c30f engorged cock, 452960ad3d absently stroking 0936fb1e6a himself. Even within his large 46187dd408 palm, there was still 7ea8916c6b plenty of size left 6fdfb04912 exposed.

The girth only 3154a96897 seemed to expand 0817a58791 as it went 4d6e2288a7 upward, the swollen 67aa8ae04c tip so taut 02b5033a4e it reminded her 800327ea5f of a ripened 63329d1f5e autumn fruit.b292e06ee69260ff

While she was b33d99e181 lost in regret, e458bfbd34 Aderton casually positioned f960d99de5 himself between her af0d143703 legs again.

Aderton grinned as he bd661ea6db grasped Sascha’s ankle.

When she continued d92f45798b to squirm, Aderton 7ca8c2aa0b simply adjusted her bc48776aeb position—fixing her legs 51d3fc4ae7 vertically and resting 707f6ffccb them over his e9815124f6 shoulder.

The bathroom was thick 685eb78768 with humidity, though whether 6dad02cfdc it was from the caa1ce910c steam or their heated 4b010eb13c breaths was hard to ef2b16375f tell. Every splash of water b054fe9d86 echoed in the enclosed 05fe0aa1ae space, making Sascha feel 5bf8a81d59 an odd sense of ce6d4aa3d4 exposure. As he moved a703807fe3 against her, his a91a75c9c8 hardened cock subtly 72f06fc0cd rubbed along the 25889cd9ac sensitive folds between 3a085b5e2d her legs, teasing bc0d5eb4a8 over the most 9c5ee6f4cf delicate areas.2857a50330569ab3

Each time he grazed 9cacb06ecf against her, a tremor 4d815ae8d9 ran through her, making f28b368e6e her knees weak and d30dcac366 thighs tense. Aderton, noticing this, fec68b91b4 licked his lips 691d4d9294 and tightened his 8f50cd5a72 grip around her 804bfc6314 ankles, using his fb0b127229 broad palms to afb0bba18b press her legs 84e2aa70b3 closer together, intensifying 0d7a5fab3b the friction.c9d0ef5be9990a2c
