Chapter 70

Just as much as I felt breathless by his kiss, the thrusting of his flesh into my entrance made the strength in my legs gradually give out. As though he was my lifeline, I clutched onto his arm so as not to fall to the floor.

Mmph, mmh.

After overwhelming me with this tumultuous kiss as I was defenseless, Bleon licked my lips with his tongue. I opened my eyes that had been closed throughout the kiss and let the moment happen as it was. However, this was only for a short time. As soon as I saw his eyes being filled with eagerness and regret that he did not want to separate from me, my eyes naturally lost their determination.

‘Really…’

I did not hate his steadfast affection for me, even though I often shook my head inwardly at his actions.

No, it’s not that I didn’t like it. I just like it so much.

Soon, Bleon’s lips parted from mine, and his voice rang softly in my ear.

“I’ll be waiting. Understand?”

No matter what you say today, I will never let you go.

Hearing directly his strong desire for me, my heart began to beat wildly. Along with the tension, my whole body’s sensations grew taut all at once, and as I trembled finely, a pleasant feeling of fullness enveloped me entirely. I opened my mouth to answer, but I quickly shut my mouth for fear he would notice that I’ve become hot and bothered. Then I nodded slowly.

Bleon, who looked at me like that, smiled satisfiedly, and I went back to my study from his office.

After I left Bleon’s office and finished my duties as the duchess, it was soon dark outside. I did not have dinner with Bleon. It was because something suddenly happened far away and he had to go out.

Before leaving, he said that he might not be able to come back today. When I saw the regretful look in his eyes, I gently patted his shoulder as he embraced me. I sent him off and told him to be careful while he was out. I did not take my eyes off him until I could no longer see the carriage Bleon was riding.

And when he disappeared from view, I realized that he was not in the space where I was, and the tension that had not subsided before disappeared like snow melted all at once.

‘Today, I must sleep alone.’

After getting ready to fall asleep, I lay on my bed and looked up at the ceiling, and I remembered the time when I woke up again in Bleon’s arms.

Half a year had already passed since I died and came back to life. I ran after the light, and the light clearly guided me on the way back.

At the threshold of death, I thought that Bleon would be able to live without me now, but when the breath of life came back to me, his appearance was truly disastrous. I realized that I had been thinking wrong for a long time when I saw him crying with eyes full of despair and was completely devoid of color from not being able to let go of me, who had not opened my eyes for nearly a week.

He…

He couldn’t go on without me.

I had to be by his side.

Of course, I was the same with him.

We had to be together until the end of this life, or even after it was over.

It was a very, very long, terribly long life before I knew it.

After that, Bleon did not want to separate from me for even a moment, and as soon as the permission was given, along with the doctor saying that my health was restored, as if to make up for the past, he coveted me and coveted me whenever he had time.

But there was something a little strange.

Originally, I was not very good physically and my health had deteriorated extremely, so it was natural that I had to be overwhelmed by his vitality. But strangely, my body was so healthy and fine that I couldn’t even be counted as a sick person. My heartbeat was that of a normal person’s once more, and my face was lively and my body was light and refreshed.

It felt like I had been born again.

And I wasn’t the only one who felt this change. Bleon, the person who held my body every day, noticed that my body was completely different from before, and Philia and Logan, who examined my body, were so surprised that they could only look at me with disbelief.

I slowly moved my hand and placed it on my stomach.

‘Maybe…’

It wasn’t entirely impossible. A miracle has already happened once, and it may not be over yet.

‘If I can really do it, then we’ll have a successor to the Einer family…’

Our child…

Then I could really do anything.

If only I could meet again with our child who I never met, if only I could hold my child in my arms, if only I could see Bleon and our child together, if only I could…

‘No. Having expectations that are too high would only lead to an even greater disappointment.’

I tried to calm down the feeling that had been filling me with excitement and anticipation.

For the past half year, I have been sleeping with Bleon from time to time, but I haven’t felt any changes. Of course, there was a possibility that I didn’t notice, but there’s no way Logan and Philia, who regularly check my body, didn’t see anything unusual either.

Above all, there was no sign of the period that was cut off after losing our first child.

‘Is that impossible?’

Haa.

I let out a long sigh.

I shouldn’t be a detriment to House Einer’s lineage. Not providing an heir after Bleoun was absolutely unacceptable as the duchess of House Einer. If I couldn’t have children, I’d have to get someone else as his wife, but if I told Bleon about this, it wouldn’t even work.

‘I don’t want it either…’

The thought of Bleon marrying someone other than me as his wife and doing the intimate things I had done with him until now, only caused me to have sudden selfish feelings of wanting to monopolize him.

No, let’s not grieve over things that haven’t happened yet. It was a night without Bleon, and this happened very rarely now. After making up my mind, I bit my lip and managed to wipe the tears from my eyes.

However, a month later, despite the worries of that night, my body became capable of having a child, and two months later, the best gift we had longed for finally came to us.

Pitter, patter.

I woke up to the sound of rain drumming upon the window. I looked out to see the sky and noticed that it was still midnight. The sound of Bleon’s even breathing came from behind.

‘I must have slept first again.’

Ever since I had a life other than myself in my stomach, I fell asleep whenever I had time, regardless of my will. I used to wait late into the night for him to come back to my bedroom from work, but now it’s almost impossible to see him coming back because of the rush of sleepiness.

I could feel Bleon’s hard chest from behind. Unlike the early days, I was very full, so it was more comfortable to sleep on my side than to sleep on my back. I was sleeping with one hand wrapped around my swollen belly, with my body locked in Bleon’s big arms.

I placed my hand on the back of his hand, being careful not to wake Bleon. Then, to find a comfortable position, I grabbed his hand and pulled it up a little higher than where his hand was originally.

A smile was drawn on my lips as I felt a comfortable and peaceful sense of security.

On peaceful days, in the quiet night air, and concentrating on the regular sound of the refreshing rain inside his strong arms, my eyes slowly closed and I was about to fall asleep.

“Ah…!”

He noticed that I was about to fall asleep, and suddenly, as if disturbing me, his moist lips touched the nape of my neck. As I felt the warm breath, I let out a small moan without realizing it.

“Wife…”

“Bleon? You woke up?”

I didn’t intend to wake him up when I heard his voice, but I felt a little sorry that I seemed to have moved for no reason.

“Sorry, it’s still too early for the day to dawn. So go back to sleep.”

“…….”

Knowing him, who is immersed in work every day, I patted the back of his hand, hoping he could get a good night’s sleep. When I couldn’t hear his answer from behind, I thought that Bleon had fallen asleep right away. So I went back to sleep with peace of mind, but I felt something hard that I didn’t recognize before, was increasing in volume on the side of my thigh.

“I can’t sleep.”

“Hmm? Ah, nngh! B-Bleon!”

As Bleon licked the nape of my neck with his tongue, I called out to him in an urgent voice.

“Haa, I know.”

Exhaling a breath full of desire, Bleon continued.

“I can stand it. Just, just a little… A little.”

He said he could bear it, but his lips still didn’t come off my neck, and his hard pillar, felt beneath me, strongly revealed its presence.
