Chapter 107

Iellie thought so as she half-soaked herself in the hot water. Although up until now, she hadn’t thought of a direct relationship because they weren’t adults, that wasn’t the case anymore as they were adults now.

‘And Zachary is the only Duke in the Empire…’

She heard that even Zachary was born after a lot of hardship. As expected, as long as the Ducal Family had a legitimate master and mistress, it was their duty to produce a legitimate successor.

“…A child.”

Iellie muttered softly without even knowing it.

Zachary and her child…

She couldn’t even imagine. To be honest, perhaps because of her past life experience, she still felt like the two of them were very young.

However…

“The duty to give birth to an heir to the Ducal family…”

Thinking about it, most of the ladies of a similar age to Iellie are married. Those who got married a little earlier were now raising a child or two.

Iellie submerged herself up to the tip of her nose.

‘But if I leave Zachary like this, don’t even mention a child… he’ll just keep holding hands while sleeping.’

She turned slightly red and looked sideways at the closed bathroom door. Obviously, he was a sturdy adult man, so he probably had a desire for that though he always pretended to be plain.

‘I know he doesn’t want to burden me, but… still, this is a bit excessive.’

To be honest, even the full-fledged kiss was done only after coming of age because what happened at the Asha Festival when they were little was just an accident. Should she give him a word first, until they spend the night…?

“…I really can’t.”

Iellie, who muttered, stood up with a determined face.

‘Yes, let’s just do this. If it’s something I’ll have to do anyway, it’s not a bad thing to do when things are set up like this.’

Thinking so, her eyes shone.

“Zachary?”

Covering herself roughly with a towel, she slightly poked her head out of the bathroom as Zachary, who was sitting on the bed, stared at her in surprise.

Iellie spoke with a determined voice.

“I don’t have any clothes to change into.”

“…Uh.”

It seemed that he didn’t even expect that extent. Seeing his blue eyes tremble slightly, she laughed.

“And my body is all wet.”

“Len?”

“I think I’ll catch a cold at this rate.”

Saying so, she gazed looked at his face. Zachary was looking at her as if he was possessed.

“So, I think I would be less cold if you hugged me…”

Iellie, who whispered so, suppressed her shyness and smiled softly. Her rosy lips part slightly, and she calls out seductively to Zachary.

Her dark green eyes looked languidly at him.

Uuhh, she couldn’t believe she was saying such blatant lines. Hopefully, it didn’t mean he couldn’t understand what she meant even though she had said it this far, right? Fortunately, Zachary had the same sense as a normal adult man.

“…Ah.”

His eyes blinked shut and then opened. Standing up stiffly, he opened his mouth.

“Len…?”

Iellie gave a small nod. Zachary asked back to her in a hoarse voice.

“What, I understand… is that right?”

“That’s right.”

“But, preparing, your heart…”

“I have already done it.”

Iellie was calm. In an instant, Zachary’s expression changed and he licked his dry lips.

“Really?”

“…Huh?”

Iellie suddenly stiffened her shoulders. Zachary’s face, looking at her now, was wearing an expression she had never seen before in her life. His eyes, full of possessiveness and obsession, gazed at her.

“Len.”

Zachary’s voice called her name softly.

As the languid voice scratched Iellie’s eardrums, she carefully looked up at him. It seemed that the blue eyes had grown darker.

“Uh, Zachary?”

She didn’t think she had ever seen his gaze like that. Iellie’s long eyelashes trembled.

Zachary.

Once again, only her lips moved to call him and Zachary’s eyes darkened. Plop. As her body was scattered on the bed, he whispered softly as he kissed a handful of her pink hair.

“You…”

The inside of the low voice is full of unquenched thirst and longing. He smiled lightly.

“You don’t know how I feel right now.”

Flash.

Zachary’s eyes closed and opened just once—sensuous eyes, like watching a wild beast.

“…What are you talking about?”

The moment she asked that question, he kissed her deeply. It was a deep, dense kiss, and after a while, Iellie let out a rough breath, haa.

He said as he gazed at her flushed face.

“You know what.”

Only the deep blue eyes shone clearly under the low light as a low voice tickled her ears.

“It means I’m crazy about you right now.”

The smile on his lips was so vivid that Iellie stared at him, unable to catch her breath. She couldn’t even move, as if she was trapped in the blue gaze.

“Zacha, ry.”

The moment she called out to him in a small way, he dropped his head once more as hot lips pressed down on her forehead like a seal.

Iellie shook her shoulders like a fish caught in a harpoon.

Zachary’s lips circled her forehead. His lips, which had touched her forehead, slowly came down. After brushing the bridge of her slim nose, as he settled down on her cheek, she suddenly found herself very nervous.

The shade of her pink eyelashes quivered.

‘Strange.’

A kiss on the forehead and on the cheek was normal physical contact. But strangely, she was now tense as if she was being pulled up to her toes. The deep part of her heart was tickling, and she seemed strangely nervous. She wanted to somehow relieve this meaningless feeling.

“Huht!”

In the meantime, a shrill moan erupted from Iellie’s lips.

Before she knew it, Zachary had set his teeth and gently bit her neck. He bit carefully so it didn’t hurt much.

Rather…

“Huuuh…”

The moans that escaped from her lips became a little more bizarre, but she was barely aware that she was making that noise. All her attention was focused on his lips and the dense touch that his lips gave her.

“Ah, haa…”

Seeing the ticklish feeling that penetrated her from head to toe, Iellie unconsciously pulled her toes. Zachary was persistently scraping, licking, and swallowing only her neck that he had bitten. Iellie felt her whole body heat up.

“Wa, wait…”

The vivid sense was good, yet a little too much for her, so Iellie reflexively tried to push him a little. However, Zachary, far from falling off her, clung to her a little more. His lips brushed the nape of her neck and fell down to her collarbone.

As he brushed the tip of his tongue down the inside of the dent, Iellie gasped and called his name.

“…Ah, Zachary.”

The voice made Zachary stop.

Reaching out to him, she held his cheeks with both hands, and their gazes met and became tangled. With flushed cheeks and excited eyes, she whispered provocatively.

“Give me… a chance to have you, too.”

The end of her words were eaten away by the dense kiss.

As she pulled him, their lips overlapped. Zachary, who opened her eyes wide for a moment, accepted Iellie.

“…Len, huht.”

Not wanting to have even the brief gap in which he opened his mouth, the tip of her tongue pushed through his half-open lips, sweeping the neatly groomed teeth and caressing the curves of his palate as if savoring them.

Zachary’s breathing became increasingly harsh as she licked the hard gums. Finally, their tongue got entangled.

“Haa, ah…”

It was just a kiss, but it felt like her head was burning white. Her reason was already half volatilized. Iellie hugged his neck and swallowed his lips tenaciously. There was only the sound of tongues overlapping.
