Towards the Winter Cabin of Serenity and Madness, Cinderella Runs - Chapter 106
Kyden couldn’t easily define Roel’s feelings, having learned the hard way not to take her for granted. He vividly remembered the unbearable sense of loss when he almost lost her.
For Roel, letting go might have been easy, but for him, it wasn’t. He had to be cautious of her heart, which felt light and delicate like a feather.
The way he didn’t know about her feelings made him anxious.
* * *
A whole day passed in the blink of an eye without anything happening. As she grew accustomed to resting, she didn’t particularly feel bored. Roel was amazed by the human capacity to adapt.
Kyden left early each day and returned late. Even after the investiture ceremony, his busy schedule continued, as he had to accompany Serley whenever he attended events.
When Kyden returned at night, he seemed unfazed by fatigue, always pressing his body against hers, as if to tire her out completely.
One day, Roel pretended to sleep, but Kyden showed no hesitation in waking her. It felt a bit excessive to wake someone who was sleeping, even if she was pretending.
Today, Kyden woke Roel again.
Roel, who woke up, greeted him with a messy smile, and the annoyance of being disturbed faded away. Seeing him brought a sense of joy and warmth.
“Hmm, Kyden, you’re back? Was everything okay today?”
“Serley got rejected again.”
“Oh dear, he must be heartbroken.”
“It seems he might soon give up and return. It looks like he’ll have to settle for an arranged marriage.”
Kyden’s lord didn’t seem to be very popular with the ladies. Roel tilted her head in curiosity. Kyden had said Serley was quite handsome, so she wondered why he wasn’t more appealing.
“You said he was good-looking. So why is that?”
“Because he only pursues married women.”
“Oh.”
It was a matter of taste. Serley’s targets were all married women, which explained his situation.
Roel stared intently at Kyden.
“What about you…?”
“What?”
Had there been no women approaching Kyden? She assumed there must have been quite a few, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask him.
Even if there were, there was nothing she could do. She would feel jealousy but wouldn’t show it, nor could she control who he spoke to, so it was better to remain unaware.
“It’s nothing.”
As Roel averted her gaze, Kyden grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes before kissing her roughly.
Roel gasped for breath as he continued to explore her mouth with his tongue.
“Ugh, s-suffocating!”
“What did you do today?”
“Just… took a walk in the garden.”
As soon as Roel mentioned going outside, Kyden started undressing her. He slid his hand between her legs and spread her folds. Still dry from just waking up, her body hadn’t yet responded.
“Should I suck you?”
“N-no…”
Roel blushed and shook her head, but Kyden ignored her as he moved between her legs. She didn’t understand why he bothered asking if he was just going to do as he pleased anyway.
“Kyden!”
Kyden’s touch was rough and impatient, even when he meant to be affectionate. His tongue teased her sensitive skin so aggressively that Roel let out breathy moans, mixed with whimpers.
“S-stop…! No, please!”
The sensation of his tongue sucking and rubbing her so intensely that it created friction made her hypersensitive body react wildly. Without being fully aroused, it hurt more, but as her cl-t hardened, a heady pleasure overtook her.
“Ahh… Ah…!”
Suddenly, her vision flashed, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her whole body shuddered as if trapped in a web of intense sensation. She kicked and squirmed, like a rabbit caught in a snare.
As Roel’s struggles intensified, Kyden, burying his face between her thighs and gripping her hips tightly, looked up at her with satisfaction. Only when he saw her crying and gasping for breath did he finally lift his head with a look of contentment.
Roel felt humiliated seeing his lips, slick with her fluids.
“Y-you’re too much!”
For Roel, it was the angriest response she could muster. She trembled, crawling to the edge of the bed, but her arms kept giving out, leaving her weak.
Kyden frowned. I sucked you so hard, why are you so angry? Watching her soft, white bottom wiggle as she attempted to escape, he couldn’t resist. He grabbed her slender ankle and pulled her back.
Her resistance didn’t last long. As Roel reached desperately for the bed’s headboard, Kyden tugged her ankle, pulling her back under him.
“Ah!”
She stretched her arm toward the headboard, but it was too late. He pinned her beneath him, brushing her sweat-soaked hair away from her face as he asked.
“No one talked to you, right?”
Roel barely had a chance to open her mouth before Kyden thrust into her deeply. The force of his rough movement made it feel like her skin might tear, but thankfully, her wetness allowed him to slide in more easily.
“Ah! No… I just walked… ah, just… just the staff.”
“The staff?”
Roel’s pleasure-dazed mind tried to recall the events of the day, her thoughts hazy from the intense sensations washing over her.
