If You Wish For A Married Couple’s Duties - Chapter 77

Smack!

Leonhart frowned at Dooha, who shook off his arm.

“I—I’m sorry.”

Flustered, Dooha’s face flushed and she bowed her head.

“I didn’t mean to do that.”

“I think it was intentional enough.”

“I really didn’t. I was just surprised when you suddenly tried to touch me…”

Leonhart observed her with her bowed head quietly.

From the expression on her face, the flush on her cheeks didn’t seem to be due to the campfire’s heat.

The tightly pursed lips were much redder than usual and slightly swollen.

He could easily guess the reason.

Leonhart’s gaze started from the tip of her chin and stopped at the back of her neck, which has yet to dry completely.

A few strands of transparent and bright silver hair drooped down beside her white and thin neck.

Leonhart’s gaze sank murkily.

“…Hey.”

“Yes?”

“What are you thinking about?”

“…I’m not thinking about anything?”

“Look at me.”

At his words, Dooha slowly raised her head.

She was met with intense blue eyes that looked as though they were about to swallow her from head to toe.

Dooha forgot to breathe as she gazed into his eyes.

Although her heart was beating like crazy, like it was warning her of danger, she couldn’t move at all.

It felt as though she’d become a helpless animal in front of a huge beast.

Was that why?

She couldn’t even move when Leonhart, who sat less than a handspan away, held her chin.

The hands of the man with the world’s most beautiful face were bigger, hotter, and rougher than she’d expected.

Just like the lips that suddenly descended upon her.

Although their second kiss was so quiet that it was suffocating, it was even deeper.

Only the sticky sound of friction remained between the interlocked lips, which seemed like they’d found their rightful place.

The warmth that from their lips spread throughout both of their bodies like a spark to a fuse.

Crackle, crackle—

The both of them were intertwined like vines in the cave, where only the crackling sound of the campfire could be heard.

Dooha inadvertently wrapped her arms around his neck, and Leonhart’s arms circled her waist.

Dooha’s body fell to the floor like a collapsing sand castle.

After Leonhart finally pulled his lips away, he gave a faint smile to her, who was underneath him.

“You didn’t reject it this time.”

He brushed against the outline of Dooha’s lips with his thumb.

He was smeared stickily with unresolved desire.

“…Sorry. I told you to tell me about yourself, but this happened.”

Leonhart asked with a vaguely amused expression.

“I’m curious about what’s to come.”

Would what’s to come exist?

Feeling Dooha’s gradually increasing heart rate, he nibbled on her lips lightly.

“What do you think?”

Dooha looked at Leonhart, who locked her in his embrace with both arms, and spoke in a small voice.

“…I heard you say that you’ll do this when we return back to the castle.”

“Did I say that?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll withdraw that. So, your response?”

Dooha frowned.

Why was he asking her when he’s just going to kiss her as she pleases?

“Do you need my opinion?”

“Of course it’s needed.”

Leonhart collected the hair that was splayed across the floor and brought them to his lips.

“Didn’t you say that you aren’t interested in holding a man that you don’t even have feelings for?”

He recited the words that Dooha said on the night of their wedding exactly.

‘You still remember that?’

Dooha avoided the Duke’s gaze awkwardly.

“So, do you have feelings for me now, wife?”

At his tone, which was akin to a male prostitute seducing noblewomen on the street, Dooha’s face turned as red as a ripe apple.

“W—why is your tone like that?”

“What’s wrong with my tone?”

“It isn’t like the Duke of Esbaden!”

“Do I have a separate tone that’s like the Duke of Esbaden?”

Leonhart laughed heartily.

“It’s rather refreshing to hear that tone from your mouth.”

He pressed for an answer like he couldn’t wait any longer.

“So, what do you want to do?”

“……”

“I don’t think this is a difficult question to answer.”

Dooha’s mouth was still tightly closed like a clam.

She was always honest, but in this situation, it was rather difficult to be honest.

It was her first time experiencing such a situation, so she was embarrassed and ashamed.

She wanted to push the Duke away, and yet she didn’t want to push him away.

“Let’s do this instead.”

Leonhart gave her a grin when she looked up at him with a puzzled face.

“Push me away if you don’t like it.”

Those words were a signal.

Leonhart began taking off her clothes unhesitatingly.

Her belt, her outer garment, and even her underwear, which hung like the last bastion.

When her clothes, which had dried up, were peeled off, her body trembled.

Was it due to the chill that permeated from outside, or because it was her first time revealing her naked body?

Her body seemed to be quite tense, and she couldn’t help but shrink.

Fortunately, Leonhart was quick-witted.

He pressed himself close to her body.

When his warm skin came into contact with hers, Dooha’s body quickly warmed up.

No, it was so warm that she felt somewhat unbearably feverish.

Dooha bit her lip at the unfamiliar heat that rose from below the navel.

“This isn’t like you. My wife seemed to be an excellent escort that’s capable of subjugating monsters.”

“…Don’t make fun of me.”

“I meant to not be scared. It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”

Leonhart loosened an arm of Dooha’s that was around his neck and lightly bit on the inside of her wrist.

“Look, my teeth aren’t as sharp as the monsters’.”

Dooha eventually burst out laughing at the playful behaviour of a puppy that has yet to mature, clinging to her and begging to play.

But that laughter soon turned into a moan.

“Hngh.”

This was because Leonhart’s lips, which were playfully pressed against her wrist, gradually travelled upwards.

His lips passed through the soft flesh of her inner arm and teased her collarbone and neck.

Countless red marks appeared like petals wherever his lips passed.

Dooha continued letting out moans.

When the duke’s lips curled up slightly and harassed the two hills persistently, the sound of her moans became even higher.

When Dooha was unable to come to her senses.

Leonhart’s right hand penetrated deeply in between her legs.

“Wait, wait a minute—!”

Dooha screamed and grabbed his arm, but it had already occurred.

Even though she had never seen or touched it, it was clearly a part of her own body, and it was invaded by the Duke’s finger.

“Enough…”

At the sensations she was experiencing for the first time, Dooha’s countenance crumpled like it was unpleasant.

Just as she was about to push the Duke’s arm away.

“Ah, ahh.”

The unpleasant sensation quickly turned into pleasure and climbed up her spine.

Her vision gradually turned white, and her waist kept lifting up.

The reason was unknown to her.

All that remained was a thirst to do something about it.

“Enough, please, now…”

The appearance of Dooha, who was restlessly moaning, was too provocative.

“I think it’s my first time hearing you beg me.”

Leonhart gave her a mischievous smile, like he was teasing her.

“Do it again.”

“Heugh, you bad……”

Dooha seemed rather aggrieved and moaned while frowning.

In the end, she was unable to stand it, and grabbed the Duke’s face with both of her hands.

“Please, just do something about it!”

Dooha shouted, panting heavily.

“Since you started it, you should help me resolve it!”

She was so agitated that the words that she’d uttered were in Bashal language.

Dooha opened her mouth again because she thought the Duke wouldn’t understand what she was saying and would continue tormenting her.

No, she was about to open it.

“In that case, I should follow my wife’s wishes.”

Until perfect Bashal language appeared out of his mouth.

“You…”

Dooha’s eyes widened so much it looked as though it was about to tear.

Just before she could question the duke for suddenly speaking Bashal language.

“Uhngh—!”

Dooha’s head tilted backwards.

It was because a hot, thick pillar penetrated the middle of her body.

“Ah, ah, uh…….”

Even though something that obviously wasn’t hers entered her body, she wasn’t in pain.

However, her body shook wildly at the endless waves of pleasure.

“N—no, no—!”

She felt like she was being forcibly dragged to an unknown summit.

However, all she felt was pleasure, even when she was in an emergency situation where she might crash at any time.

More, more, more.

Dooha mumbled words that even she herself didn’t understand and hugged Leonhart’s back tightly.

Long fingernail marks appeared on his broad back.

‘You liar.’

If this wasn’t an act of eating, what was?

This man was much scarier than monsters.

Meanwhile, Leonhart dug deeply into her embrace and continued to kiss her like he wasn’t satisfied.

Dooha, who was thoroughly eaten by the Duke, closed her eyes slowly.

For the first time, she wished that the night would last longer.

“…I feel like I’m about to die.”

“Isn’t it fine since you aren’t going to die?”

Dooha glared at the Duke, who was offering an arm as her headrest.

He didn’t look like someone that fell off a cliff and lost consciousness, and ran around in the rain afterwards.

Rather, his complexion seemed much better than before.

He turned towards Dooha languidly, looking like a predator that had his fill.

Dooha complained to the duke, who was playing with her hair.

“Is it usually this excessive?”

“What?”

“S—spending the night together.”

Leonhart’s eyes rolled about at her question and he shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know. I’ve never slept with another woman before.”

“…What?”

It was unexpected.

If it was the Empire’s duke, he was fully capable of enjoying a promiscuous life.

There couldn;t have been absolutely zero women that approached the young and handsome duke.

“Don’t lie. You’ve never done it before, you say? How can you be so…!”

“So?”

The corner of Leonhart’s mouth grew longer.

His sharp eyes became as narrow as a sly fox.

“So, what?”

“…Forget that.”

“Was I that good?”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“I think I’m right.”

“No!”

“For someone that’s denying it, you were quite excited a while ago…….”

Dooha bared her teeth and covered his mouth.

“If you say one more word, I will never talk to you ever again.”

Leonhart nodded slowly at her intimidation.

But that’s all.

As soon as Dooha removed her hand, he smiled and drew closer.

“I like compliments, wife.”

“Oh, seriously!”

Leonhart only closed his mouth when she pounded his shoulder several times with her fists.

“You seem to still have enough strength, so one more time…”

“Three times is enough! Enough, for goodness’s sake!”

Of course, she suffered again for speaking nonsense.
