Desire rose to the crown of my head, and my patience dwindled with each passing moment.
Was I truly this kind of person?
So susceptible to pleasure?
‘The Nightmare King’s temptations were nothing compared to this.’
To become so desperately eager for Elhart, a man utterly devoid of coquetry.
In this moment, not a trace of the Crown Prince’s identity or my plans concerning the Crown Princess remained in my mind.
“Ser…?”
Seeing that I had no intention of stopping, he startled and looked down at me.
“Hm…?”
“…You want to continue like this?”
“Why not?”
“It’s just that…”
Elhart glanced between my body and his own before speaking.
“It seems impossible.”
“…”
“Simply…”
No.
A body destined to bear twelve children could not possibly be so fragile.
I reached that conclusion.
Elhart continued to regard me with an expression of doubt.
His chest still rose and fell slowly from the ragged breathing of moments before, and his gaze wandered anxiously across my body.
He carefully opened his mouth.
“Really… are you sure?”
Instead of answering, I leaned my body forward slightly.
As our skin, already heated by each other’s warmth, made contact, Elhart’s breath wavered again.
“I’m fine, I told you.”
I spoke with composure.
And then I slowly lowered my body.
“…Huh?”
I blinked.
Strange.
My body hadn’t descended at all.
“…”
Still exactly as before.
There was no progress whatsoever.
Elhart’s gaze slowly lowered.
“I told you. It seems impossible.”
I shot him a glare. There was no such thing as an impossible task for me.
“I can do it.”
I adjusted my position once more.
Carefully.
Inch by inch.
As I lowered my body, I clenched my teeth.
“…Ah.”
“Ser.”
Elhart’s voice dropped low.
“Don’t push yourself.”
“It’s not like that.”
I murmured the words.
“It’s just… since this is our first time for both of us, I’m being careful.”
He fell silent for a moment.
I moved my body slowly again.
Elhart, watching me, drew in a sharp breath.
But that was as far as it went.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move any further.
I remained frozen in place, breathing heavily. Cold sweat began to bead on my forehead.
Sweat was seeping through my entire body, not just my forehead.
“Why is this happening…”
For the first time, I truly understood how difficult intimate relations between a man and woman could be.
There was a reason the Expedition Team members treated me as a complete novice when it came to romance.
Elhart laughed softly.
“See, I told you it would be difficult.”
“No.”
It wasn’t a matter of pride—this was an incredibly important issue for me.
I had to see this through today, no matter what.
I glanced at his expression before speaking.
“…If you want to, you can move too.”
Elhart’s eyes wavered for a moment.
He remained still for a while.
As if he were restraining himself.
Then finally, he exhaled a sigh.
“Understood.”
He spoke as he lifted his restrained wrists.
“Then, just a little.”
His hand touched my waist.
It was burning hot.
I felt my body tremble slightly in that instant.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Elhart whispered low.
“I’ll take it slow.”
“Ngh…!”
A gasp escaped me reflexively.
Elhart’s breathing trembled no less than mine.
I grasped his shoulders.
“Elhart….”
I lifted my head to look at his face.
“I can’t stop now. The only way to stop is for you to run from me.”
“I understand. If I can’t endure it, I’ll run, so you don’t need to hold back.”
At my response, Elhart’s pupils wavered.
“Don’t stop, Elhart.”
Even as I spoke, I felt my voice trembling.
But it wasn’t from fear.
Strangely, my heart was racing with exhilaration.
I couldn’t understand how a mere physical act pursued for pleasure could satisfy the mind as well.
I couldn’t explain what this meant.
Yet I could be absolutely certain of one thing.
This physical and spiritual communion I shared with him now would profoundly change something within me.
It would open the door to a world I had never known.
“….”
Elhart said nothing for a long moment, simply gazing at me.
Then he exhaled slowly.
“…I understand.”
That was the moment.
His arms tightened as he pulled me closer.
I reflexively wrapped my arms around his neck.
His body began to move again.
This time was different from before.
Elhart’s movements, which had begun cautiously and slowly as if confirming each of my reactions, gradually grew rougher as moments passed.
“Hah….”
With each intensifying movement, my lower abdomen clenched.
Elhart, his face buried in my shoulder, let out a low moan.
“Ah, Elhart….”
The pace quickened steadily.
My nape burned under his hot breath.
Perhaps… it felt like I was being bitten.
All my senses were so focused downward that I could barely register anything else.
My breathing, which had remained steady even after swinging a sword for an hour straight, was now utterly ruined.
I could only grip his shoulders and endure as my breath caught in my throat.
He held me so tightly I couldn’t move an inch.
As if he feared I would escape, as if he desperately didn’t want to let me go.
I squeezed my eyes shut.
The scorching heat pooling inside my body could no longer be contained, spilling over in waves.
A pleasure vast and heavy as a tsunami—utterly different from what I’d felt before—surged up as if to consume me entirely.
“Ah, Elhart….”
As I called his name, he lifted his head to look at me.
His golden eyes had transformed completely.
They were no longer the calm, tender gaze of the prince I knew.
Within them burned something far more dangerous and undisguised.
Desire.
An intense possessiveness.
He gazed at me with relentless fervor, intent on etching himself into my very being.
In the next moment, our lips met without hesitation from either of us.
We clung to each other again, devouring each other’s breath and taste with violent passion.
As Elhart’s movements grew increasingly fierce, the sharp sound of metal snapping suddenly rang out.
I opened my eyes.
The restraint I’d fastened around his wrist lay broken on the floor.
Elhart seemed to notice it too, his movements halting for a moment.
“Ser….”
He stared at me, breathing heavily, his expression hardening with what looked like fear.
I pulled him closer by the neck, tightening my grip.
“You’re not running away.”
I spoke between breaths.
“So keep going.”
Elhart’s eyes wavered for a moment.
And in the next instant, my back touched the bed.
His arms wrapped around me firmly once more.
Now there was no hesitation in his movements.
The friction of skin against skin grew increasingly loud.
I buried my face against his shoulder.
…Perhaps I had bitten him as well.
My reason was paralyzed, my mind completely blank.
And finally.
A wave of pleasure—terrifyingly immense, building from deep within until it reached its peak—crashed over me.
“Ngh…!”
As my body trembled, he held me even tighter.
“Hah….”
His ragged breathing echoed against my ear.
I could no longer tell if the frantic heartbeat thundering between us was his or mine.
