No Such Thing as a Chaste Man! Just Give It Ten Tries! - Chapter 48
Flustered, she pulled away from him with a small, playful huff, as if chiding him.
“No… It’s already been more than ten times. So why only now…?”
“You haven’t tried to seduce me into bed ten times yet.”
“Is that so?”
Seo-ah rolled her eyes and began counting on her fingers. Thinking back to the events around Jenny’s drink and all the times she’d asked to be held or to sleep in the same bed, she estimated it had been about seven attempts so far.
Still, she couldn’t shake her frustration. Narrowing her eyes, she pouted.
“…Why were you only counting that?”
“I already knew your heart well enough.”
Ephelinus gently brushed her hair, his touch as soft and soothing as his voice.
“And for me… there was never a question of resisting or not. You’ve been the only woman—no, the only being—in my heart for my entire life.”
It felt as though he were looking straight through her soul, gazing at the resonance between their spirits. His soft confession, delivered as if he were reading the patterns of her irises, made Seo-ah feel her heart pounding wildly just beneath her throat.
“This is so unfair…”
It was impossible to resist. From Seo-ah’s perspective, here was the most beautiful man across two worlds, speaking with an earnest, profound tone and a gaze so deep it was disarming.
How could anyone not be swayed by that? There was no room for complaint, no way to find fault.
His voice, more sincere and majestic than when officiating a sacred rite or offering a prayer, left her at a loss for words.
Though Seo-ah couldn’t muster a reply, Ephelinus’s unwavering gaze remained fixed on her.
His aquamarine eyes seemed filled with a desperate need to validate his confession, mingling with a longing he couldn’t suppress and an overwhelming affection for her hesitant, flustered reaction.
Seo-ah managed a small, hiccupping response.
“Then… why didn’t you wait until I tried ten times?”
“Because you said it was the last time.”
“……”
“You told me you’d never see me again. That whether you stayed in Genève or returned to your home, you’d never be summoned back…”
“……”
“I couldn’t bear the thought of being remembered unworthy by you…”
Finishing his words with a sigh, Ephelinus tilted his head slightly, drawing Seo-ah closer by the back of her head.
Their lips met with an unyielding intensity, and the air around them quickly grew feverish. Pulling her tongue into his mouth as it brushed against his, he slowly leaned to the side, pulling her with him.
“Now that I’ve already forfeited the right to send you away properly…”
A faint, wistful smile crossed his lips as he sat up, showering light kisses along the curve of Seo-ah’s ear.
The gentle pecks, like a bird picking at seeds, soon trailed down her neck, brushing her shoulder line, tracing the elegant contours of her bones.
“Hng…!”
With sudden fluidity, Ephelinus shifted Seo-ah into a prone position. As he withdrew, the viscous remnants of their union clung to his tip before spilling out.
“Let me show you how much I’ve wanted this…”
Taking position behind her, he began to explore her back. He placed deliberate, reverent kisses from the nape of her neck to her shoulders, moving slowly down the slope of her spine. The touch was almost devotional, as though paying homage to the graceful lines of her body.
At the same time, his hands roamed her curves, tracing the dip of her waist and the roundness of her hips. One hand followed the firm muscles of her back, its light caress drawing involuntary shivers that broke free in breathy moans from Seo-ah’s lips.
“Ahh…”
“You’re not… getting tired, are you?”
Murmuring into the space between her shoulder blades, his voice trembled with restrained emotion. His hands slid beneath her body, cupping her chest. His large palms pressed into her brxxsts, his rough fingertips, hardened from years of transcribing scripture, catching her sensitive nxxples and twisting them gently as he left a trail of kisses down her back.
“Hngh, ah, uhn…”
The conflicting sensations of his rough handling and the soft warmth of his lips sent tingling sparks down her spine.
“Seo-ah… Seo-ah…”
He whispered her name with aching tenderness as he kneaded her brxxsts, fingers sinking into her soft flesh as though trying to memorize their shape.
One hand glided down her taut abdomen before slipping lower.
“Hngh…!”
His fingers found her again, teasing the sensitive nub between her folds with a twist. The sudden stimulation sent a jolt through her body, causing her inner walls to reflexively contract, releasing another rush of slick warmth.
The overstimulated flesh he’d brought to climax so many times flared back to life, hot and eager under his touch.
As his thumb brushed over her sensitive surface, the heat between the two of them reignited.
