Overpowered Reincarnation Perks! - Chapter 17.8π
Although he said thank you, Arvan’s expression was far from gratitude or emotion. An expression that seemed somehow numb yet joyful. Like someone who had finally been saved after enduring long suffering.
“You are the only one for me. How could you not be special?”
“Arvan……”
I tried to ask what he meant, but the words didn’t continue. He gently consumed my lips and draped his body over mine.
As the sofa wasn’t large, I couldn’t move and accepted Arvan. With moist heat, the kiss deepened. It was a swamp-like contact, more intense than usual.
“Mmm.”
When I made a nasal sound, Arvan slightly opened his mouth to make breathing easier. As his fingers traced down my neckline, unbuttoning and removing the cape, the front with the dark red wine stain was revealed.
“Arvan……”
“Were you very scared?”
Arvan knew from the beginning that Dienes had deliberately spilled wine on me. I thought he was very angry at the castle, but now he just had a look of concern for me.
“I’m fine, Arvan.”
“You must have felt uncomfortable.”
“I’m really okay. Because you’re here now.”
“……”
“With Arvan here, I’m neither scared nor uncomfortable.”
Arvan’s expression contorted at my answer. A face smiling with deeply furrowed brows. That expression made my chest ache as if pierced by thorns.
“I love you, Ju-in.”
Why does he love me so much? Instead of asking him, I closed my eyes. The hot breath poured on my nape flowed between the folds of my clothes.
His cheek, which had skillfully unbuttoned my shirt, touched my chest. His tongue, licking my skin as if to infuse warmth into my slightly cooled chest, sucked on the tip, and the numb sensations in my body came alive with the tingling stimulation.
“Arvan……”
“I’ll stop if you don’t like it.”
I shook my head. It’s not that I don’t like it. I know this isn’t the right time, but I didn’t want to push him away now.
In fact, I never wanted to push him away.
As his hand slowly undressed me, removing even the last piece of underwear, my lower abdomen tensed involuntarily. Considering that the sofa was too narrow for me to move properly, Arvan didn’t rush and slowly caressed my private parts.
Soon, between my legs became wet with his gentle, steady caresses. While rubbing my insides with his long fingers slowly pushed in, he continuously whispered in my ear.
“You’re beautiful, Ju-in.”
“Ah, ha……”
“You’re so precious, I should have cherished you more.”
You’re already cherishing me so much.
The position was uncomfortable, but there was no aversion. The reason I felt no hesitation even in this embarrassing position, receiving his caresses, was because I knew the sincerity in his gentle voice. Movements aimed at satisfying me, not himself. Every word flowing into my ears was affectionate. The fact that I felt more comforted than embarrassed while engaging in such a heated act was surely because of this.
I moaned in response to Arvan’s whispers and moved my hips. I loved how he enveloped me like a gentle breeze. To the point where I wouldn’t mind being swallowed by him like this.
Although his fingers moved as if lightly splashing water, it felt like hot waves were surging inside me. An intense pleasure because of its calmness. A feeling of my whole body melting, steeped in sweet honey. I tightly gripped his fingers and reached a brief climax, with a high moan that I couldn’t believe was mine filling the space.
“Seems like you felt good.”
“Hah, yes……”
Arvan kissed my cheek as I breathed heavily and gently lifted me up.
“Shall we continue the rest in the bedroom?”
***
As the sun set, red twilight poured over the bed. I sat up, rubbing my slightly sore pelvis. The new bed Arvan had brought in was harder than mine on the second floor. Thanks to his considerate care, it didn’t hurt, though.
Arvan had left the house first to attend a colleague’s funeral and organize a vigilante group to prepare for monster attacks. I wanted to attend at least the funeral, but unfortunately, I didn’t have much time.
Becoming a lord won’t be easy. I’ve never been in such a position of responsibility before. The culprit who killed the previous lord might target me this time. There was a lot to do in 33 days.
‘I have to do my own work by myself.’
I finished bathing and changed clothes. Buttoning up the blouse and wearing a wide light blue skirt made me look quite neat.
‘This is the first outfit Arvan bought for me, isn’t it.’
I wanted to give him a gift before leaving, but sadly, I’m penniless.
‘If only I had held out for three more days until payday.’
……I thought, then realized who I had been working for as an assistant and gave up cleanly. My salary was given by Arvan anyway, right?
When I opened the front door, I could see smoke rising in the distance.
‘Are they cremating?’
Everyone must have gone to attend the funeral, as there was no one on the street. Where did Callion go?
Arvan said, ‘If Callion doesn’t come back, I’ll go after him and bring him back, so don’t worry and go to the central palace,’ but I was still concerned.
‘I hurt Callion again.’
Come to think of it, I had been deceiving Callion from the beginning. I hid the fact that I was about to die and impulsively seduced Callion. I didn’t think about the aftermath because I would die anyway. I didn’t consider how much of a scar it would leave on Callion who would be left behind.
I won’t deny it. It was a selfish and cruel act.
‘He must have thought I was an irresponsible person.’
You must have been very disappointed. Maybe this time, your feelings for me have finally cooled off.
I stood still at the path leading to the central square. If I go straight from here, I’ll reach the square, and just across the bridge is the central palace.
‘It should be okay to take a slight detour instead of going off on a completely different path, right?’
I turned around and started running.
There aren’t many places we’ve been together in this castle. The backyard connects to the neighboring house, the eastern hill, and the southern wall.
If Callion resents me, he would have lost all affection for me this time, so he wouldn’t go to those places again.
But if he still likes me.
