The Nanny of House Herzen - Chapter 55
Evelyn felt embarrassed as she received Johanson from Beth in the afternoon. However, Beth, watching Evelyn nurse Johanson, spoke with satisfaction.
“With such a loving relationship, it won’t be long before our little one has a sibling.”
It was an idea that hadn’t crossed Evelyn’s mind.
After giving birth to a stillborn child, Evelyn had doubted her ability to conceive again. She wondered if she could accomplish what she couldn’t do when she was younger, especially after the poor postpartum care she had received.
The real issue was the possibility that Carius might have the same expectations as Beth. This brought new worries to Evelyn, who was still reeling from the big changes in her life.
Of course, Carius had no inkling of Evelyn’s concerns. He often spent his time affectionately clinging to her, kissing her skin as the sun set.
Their mornings frequently began late, well after the sun was high, leading Evelyn to worry about who managed the vast estate and mountain of paperwork.
When she carefully expressed her concerns, Carius couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re worrying about the strangest things. When you weren’t around, I spent all my time hunting instead of working, so it’s about the same.”
He was probably right.
After a few days, fortunately, their waking hours began to shift earlier. Although their bedroom situation didn’t change much, and Carius still eagerly kissed her whenever their eyes met, it seemed a bit less frantic.
For a while, their routine had felt almost like animals in heat, making it awkward to face the servants. In any case, this change was a relief.
Lazy but peaceful days passed by.
“I have an errand to run tomorrow.”
Carius said abruptly, then paused. Evelyn waited for him to continue, anticipating an invitation to join him, but she wasn’t quite prepared.
Although she was doing her best to adapt to her duties as the Duchess, she wasn’t yet confident in her abilities.
Her former husband had never trusted her with significant responsibilities, and as the youngest daughter of a Count, she had never learned estate management. Even if she had, it wouldn’t have been much use. The Herzen estate was many times larger than the wealthiest days of her family.
The thought of accompanying the Duke to oversee the estate’s affairs felt overwhelming.
There was still so much to learn. In some ways, the bed where her body was tormented felt more comforting.
While Evelyn hesitated, the man’s dark eyes gleamed. His expression, similar to when he teased her, melted her tension. His mischievous voice added.
“Can you wait patiently?”
His tone was as gentle as if he was talking to a loyal dog to guard the house.
But if he was asking such a question, it would be better suited for Johanson than for her.
Though Carius often pretended not to see Johanson, he stayed with them when Evelyn nursed or played with the child.
Apparently, he didn’t mean for her to accompany him. Relieved, Evelyn nodded, and he pressed his lips to her round shoulder.
“Even if we’re apart for a bit…”
His long fingers, like hooks, slipped inside her neckline. He grasped her always moist b****t firmly, pulling it out of her shift to torment her n–ple.
“…Ah!”
His dark eyes roved over Evelyn’s softly moaning face, her smooth shoulder, and her milk-laden n–ple. He licked his dry lips as if savoring the sight.
When he twisted her gem-like n–ple between two fingers, milk squirted out as if it had been waiting.
“Ah…”
The sight of him sucking the wetness from his fingers was sensual. Unconsciously, Evelyn parted her lips, swallowing hard as she looked up at him.
“….I should probably suck it a lot.”
Talking to her while tormenting her was one of his bad habits. The problem was that Evelyn, lost in her trance, often forgot what he had said before.
It was still like that now. Evelyn wasn’t sure what he was saying.
She only knew that her thighs were damp, her b*****s leaked, and soon, she would be in his arms. The anticipation made every hair on her body stand on end.
His slightly sticky palm glided over her pale, delicate skin like a snake. Though he kept some distance and merely looked at her as if he was licking her with his eyes, his hands moved slowly over her body.
Only Evelyn’s body was feverish, her toes curling and uncurling as she lifted her hips.
“Are you wet?”
At his blatant question, her parted lips clamped shut.
He lazily fondled the exposed b****t, while the other, still hidden beneath her dress, leaked, forming a dark stain.
Carius leaned closer, whispering into her ear.
“You’re already leaking without me even sucking? Should I start sucking from below today?”
His crude tone made Evelyn’s shoulders shiver. He moved closer, gently playing with her lower lip.
“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Instead of replying, Evelyn opened her mouth. The moment he saw her cute tongue flicker between her red lips, Carius inserted his fingers.
Though she had been hoping for his lips, it didn’t matter because it was still him. Evelyn, with her blue eyes clouded with desire, carefully sucked on each of his fingers in turn.
After she had suckled on a few fingers, he smiled approvingly and pressed his lips to hers. It was a shallow kiss, teasing her lips without letting their tongues touch.
