Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Iellie suddenly glanced down at the food on the tray. Seeing the soup, which had plenty of thick chicken in it, was actually more like a stew than a soup, a growl unknowingly erupted from her stomach.

“….”

Oh, it’s embarrassing.

Zachary used her gentlemanly sense of ignorance to stay still, and she struggled to speak.

“By the way, do you know how to cook?”

“After a few years of camping life, you learn it naturally.”

“…I see.”

She was stunned. Well, Zachary’s life has been difficult, and it was because of the previous Duke’s mistake.

As she put the spoon in her hand, he smiled before continuing his words casually.

“Because if you keep eating combat rations, you will get bored.”

“Right, I’m sorry…”

“What are you sorry about, I was just telling the truth.”

While he casually, the hand stroking her hair is as friendly as handling a younger sibling.

‘…He said he was dissatisfied with me treating him like a child.’

Rather, wasn’t it he who treated her like a child? Iellie narrowed her eyebrows and looked at him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, nothing.”

If she asked him to tell her anyway, he would say no. And, well… he wasn’t even going to have a relationship with his younger sister… Iellie’s face instantly turned red as she thought so. She opened her mouth hastily.

“To think that you wake up early in the morning and even cook. Aren’t you tired?”

“Not at all, since you’re going to eat it.”

Her heart ached. Oh, her husband spoke so prettily.

Iellie smiled happily.

“You didn’t have to bring it to bed, though.”

“No, this is something I’ve always wanted to do for you.”

Huh? When she tilted her head curiously at his words, his ears were red as he placed the tray on her lap.

“I wanted to give you breakfast in bed. That’s why.”

“….”

How can my husband be so cute?

As her eyes were wet with emotion, Zachary urged Iellie.

“Eat it quickly, I tasted it roughly though…”

Undaunted by Zachary’s ardent gaze, she took a sip of the soup. Her heart pounded strangely as his gaze followed her, so she made a mistake.

“Ack, hot!”

She hurriedly ate her soup and burned her mouth. Iellie was tearing up a little. Zachary said, narrowing his brows.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. It’s fine, but…”

Oh, it was so embarrassing… She wasn’t even a child anymore. Besides, it was so hot she never thought she’d lose the spoon!

The next moment, as Zachary picked up the spoon that was rolling across the tray, he took a large spoonful of the soup and blew on it softly.

“….”

Could this be it? Feeding?

She squinted at him. It was right.

“Here, ah.”

“….”

It was a classic lover’s conversation, but she didn’t expect to hear lines like this from Zachary. When did her husband, who was like a younger brother until now, grow up like this? Iellie opened her mouth while blushing.

“Delicious.”

She squirmed and smiled happily without even realizing it. The taste was just right, and the ingredients were tenderly cooked.

“Really?”

Zachary replied in relief as she eagerly ate the soup while he gazed at her with proud eyes. Iellie, who was slightly hungry, finally came to her senses and looked at him.

“Come to think of it, you’re not going to eat?”

Putting the spoon down shyly, she asked Zachary. He smiled and shook his head.

“I’m okay.”

“Eating alone is a bit…”

Iellie muttered perplexedly though he only watched from the side until she emptied the soup bowl. Then, he opened his mouth as he piled the bowl on top of the tray.

“Actually, I want to do more than eat.”

“More?”

“I mean…”

Zachary, who placed the tray on the table, gently pulled her waist. Iellie widened her eyes without even realizing it. Their lips overlap, their breath mingling. Oh, wait.

This…?

“Huh…”

It wasn’t her fault that a sweet moan rose from the inside of her throat. It was because the kisses were too dense.

“…Uht, wa, wait—”

However, even Iellie’s weak voice was swallowed up by him. His kiss hit her teeth and persistently coveted the inside of her lips. Because of that, her whole body heated up from the kiss that dyed her head white.

“…Haa.”

After a moment, his lips parted and Iellie took a deep breath. Zachary gazed at her with sunken eyes. Even in the middle of the day, when the sun was bright, his eyes were dark with pleasure.

“Something like this.”

“…Uh…”

“Of course, I am hungry as well. But rather than physical hunger…”

Zachary’s hand gently brushed her cheek while his gaze was entirely on her.

“…Can I just say it’s because I felt lacking?”

“Za, Zachary—”

Iellie’s shoulders trembled like a young bird as Zachary’s palm caressed her cheek and slowly moved down. As the palm of his slightly cold body touched her heated body, pleasure rose every moment.

“I’ve been patient for too long.”

“….”

“You…”

His tone was firm as a long-overdue desire subsided in his hushed voice. Zachary whispered.

“You have no idea how happy I was when you said you were ready last night.”

Iellie was speechless. At the same time, her husband opened his mouth softly, placing his hand around her neck.

“…So, can I?”

Zachary spoke that with the eyes of a puppy abandoned on the side of the road on a rainy day. The feel of his palm on her neck was overly intense. My God, what to do with him?

She swallowed a sigh.

“You say that… how could I refuse?”

With a small whisper, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Zachary knew that that in itself was permission, and he kissed her with rather hasty movements. It was a kiss that would eat her whole.

“Gently…”

“…Alright.”

He replied in a low, purring voice. It sounded like a beast trembling with pleasure. The soft feel of the bed against her back was now familiar.

Iellie closed her eyes.

About an hour later, Iellie lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. Zachary, in fact, was this what he was aiming for? Something like the second round after some recovery. That was why he even gave her a meal…

“Zachary, this is not…”

When Iellie spoke as she raised herself up with a grunt, Zachary looked back at Iellie, who had a pouty face.

“What?”

“That, so…”

It felt a little awkward to answer. In the middle of the day like this, to covet each other’s body? Nonetheless, it was embarrassing to say it so blatantly.

While she glanced at him, Zachary laughed.

“Are you very tired?”

“Of course! Didn’t you feed me on purpose?”

“Of course not…”

Zachary’s expression turned mischievous as he laid on her side, giving his arm as a pillow for her. He whispered softly.

“Looking at your expression now, I think it was a wise decision to eat first.”

“….”

Give me back my sweet husband…

He was so sly now. She was in tears. As if she would die of love, Zachary kissed her on the forehead.

“Come to think of it, you don’t want to wash?”

“Um, that’s true.”

Iellie absentmindedly nodded her head. They had a hot time from last night to today, so she wanted to soak in the bath water.

Zachary asked seriously.

“Can I wash it for you?”

“….”

This pervert!

With that meaning in mind, Iellie glared at Zachary though her husband had an impudent face.

“What? We’re already married.”

“No, even though you say so, aren’t you too confident?”
