Chapter 42
Then, he saw her outfit.
The tight-fitting gown had long been ruffled while drinking wine. The ribbon that was fastening her waist was also loosened, revealing a slip with her neckline slanted open.
The thin slip was revealing her curves.
Cassian let out a sigh of relief before pulling away the hand that Elysia was fiddling with and buried his face in the palm of his hand. Because of that, she tilted her head and unbuttoned the sleeve on the opposite arm.
Something was missing. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to strip her off?
“Shall I just take it off?”
She whispered a small whisper as if to herself, but Cassian couldn’t miss that voice. In addition, although Elysia was speaking quite eloquently, she was slightly slurred in her pronunciation.
“You... you’re drunk.”
Thinking so, he thought it would be better to stop and sleep, so he reached out to hug Elysia. She graciously wanted him to hold her in his arms, and she soon grabbed him by the shoulders and pressed him down.
Sitting on the sofa armrests, she grabbed Cassian’s hand and raised it.
“I want to eat.”
Elysia’s eyes as she placed Cassian’s hand on her lips and asked for an answer were begging.
As if he should nod his head right now.
Because her eye level was as high as the armrest of the sofa, the place where Cassian’s gaze reached was showing a dizzying landscape.
“I can’t stand it like this. So...”
“I mean... If you hadn’t unbuttoned it, I would have protected you tonight.”
She then cut off Cassian’s words and urged him to give her permission. At that, he grabbed Elysia’s waist, who was barely sitting on the armrest.
Receiving it as a sign of permission, Elysia’s lips bit his finger.
Ever since he took her cherries, she had a hard time putting up with it.
She lifted her teeth and cracked it with a little more force, and she felt the scent of his body spread through her body.
She seemed to be drunk.
Elysia frowned at Cassian’s face, not closing his eyes. Slowly pulling her lips apart, and said as she licked the drops of blood from his fingers.
“Your eyes are wide open. It’s too naughty.”
Elysia ran her finger across Cassian’s eyes.
This is the reason why these days when she sucked his blood, she didn’t bite his lips or the back of his neck first, though continued to bite her finger first.
Being able to see Cassian’s expression without missing out.
He had never made such an expression even on the bed. An expression that only comes out when he is holding on to something he wants to rush to. So, the easiest way to see that expression was to suck his blood.
Elysia lowered her hand that had been stroking his eyes a little and grabbed Cassian’s chin. She gazed down at him, and she smiled enticingly beautifully.
Cassian held his breath for a moment and stared at her.
“As expected, the lips are swollen after the fingers.”
Elysia lifted his chin and lowered her head.
Her normally cool lips were hot. As she bit his lip, she smelled the blood mixed with the smell of wine. Elysia then moved her body closer to him.
Cassian swallowed a groan and grabbed Elysia’s waist, and lifted it over his legs.
“Hngg...”
A moan of satisfaction escaped from her throat.
The kiss that started lightly to suck blood then deepened instantaneously.
Elysia covered his cheeks with her hands and dug deeper. The sound of suffocated breathing and sticky wetness reverberated throughout the room.
“...Haa.”
She was convinced when drinking Ryan’s blood recently, but when she drank Cassian’s blood, her body became even hotter.
It was like that even compared to when she was a vampire before the return. When she sucked blood, she felt only moderate stimulation, and when she lifted her lips, only a feeling of satiety remained.
However, that wasn’t the case when drinking Cassian’s blood.
The heated state continued, so she wanted to kiss him again even after the bloodsucking was finished. Her lips parted for a moment as Elysia thought of it.
Cassian frowned, she said.
“I can’t stand it like this... Eup.”
Elysia kissed him again and stopped him.
Their saliva mixed up, and Elysia sucked at his lower lip. Again her lips fell, she opened her closed eyes.
At that point, she realized that she wanted him as much as he wanted her. The purple eyes seemed unusually dark.
Could her own eyes be that hot...?
She slowly lowered her head, and she whispered in his ear.
“I don’t think I can stand it. So, don’t stand it.”
She licked Cassian’s earlobe as if urging him.
In an instant, there was a spark in Cassian’s purple eyes. He took Elysia and moved his steps. Instantaneously, Elysia’s legs were wrapped around his waist as she hugged him. Cassian bit Elysia’s lips and swallowed it passionately. A deep kiss continued as they headed towards the bed.
“Haa......”
Elysia let out a shaky breath and clung to him. Her body was hot.
Cassian, who laid Elysia on the bed, swept her hair and whispered lowly. The reddened corners of his eyes and moist lips were visible. Her robe was already half off, revealing the white nape and her shoulders.
He drew his attention to her chest, which went up and down like she was short of breath.
Red rose petals scattered across the bed were mingled with Elysia’s shimmering silver hair, exuding a sensual mood. As soft as possible, he murmured and buried his lips in the nape of her neck.
Elysia wanted to see his face and lowered her gaze.
“...It’s against the law to look like this.”
She could see Cassian unraveling the ribbon in front of the slip by biting it with his teeth. Elysia’s eyes darkened. She grabbed his shoulders and pushed him aside.
Then, she went up on top of Cassian, who had just been pushed away.
“Stay still. I’ll do whatever I want.”
Pluck.
The shirt button was unbuttoned by Elysia’s hand. She liked the rare sight of him lying down with a bewildered expression on his face.
No, she would have liked him no matter what shape he was...
The red eyes slowly glanced at him. Her gaze moved from his straight forehead to the corner of his pretty eyes, past his high nose, and toward his red lips.
Elysia gently pressed her finger to Cassian’s lips.
Drops of blood leaked from the wound she had made by biting him, before sucking the drops of blood from her own fingers.
“Why do I like you so much?”
At the same time as Elysia’s words, the force that was felt in her body became stronger.
She raised the corners of her lips and pressed her hips down.
Elysia’s words a while ago and her continued actions were enough to blow away Cassian’s reason. Cassian’s eyes flashed dangerously.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll let you do whatever you want later.”
“Ah...!”
Cassian put Elysia under him again. He felt something he had been holding on to break away, and sucked Elysia’s lips aggressively.
As the kisses continued roughly, saliva flowed down between her lips.
He did it all the way and lowered his lips. And, he etched red marks.
Elysia let out a breath, which she had been holding back by the sensation of biting on the nape of her neck.
“Ah, Cassian...!”
The name from her lips sounded too sweet.
As Cassian’s hand untied the ribbon of the slip that had not yet been untied, the hem of her robe was easily pushed down. It had grabbed his attention from the moment he entered the room.
Elysia’s fingers gripped his hair as Cassian’s hand stroked her thigh softly and dug deep inside.
A moan escaped between his lips as he felt his fingers rubbing.
“Ugh...”
His lips gradually descended where his fingers were. As she trembled, feeling a tingle sensation on her whole body, Elysia squinted her eyes at the shallow sensation.
Slow and weak stimulation followed as if burning her—this was not enough.
“...Ahkk... Cassian...Hurry.”
“Who’s really crazy to want to be in a hurry...”
“Hurry up. Hmm?”
Cassian parted his lips and met Elysia’s gaze, pushing his back. There was a deep desire in his purple eyes. Her body trembled as she felt the great stimulus she had been waiting for.
A shrill breath escaped from Cassian’s lips.
Without waiting for the tremors to stop, he moved his body again.
“Ahh...wait a minute.”
“Even if you ask me to stop, I can’t stop. You started it.”
***
Lloyd and Ryan went to the Duchy of Esteban to post a report. Ryan had yet to meet Elysia because he had entered the Duke of Esteban’s residence late.
There, Philip welcomed Ryan.
“I’ve been told of you in advance, Sir Ryan. You have a place to stay in the annex.”
“Thank you.”
Lloyd, who was next to him, tilted his head and asked. “It’s on the annex, not the knights building?”
“This is His Excellency’s command. And, Sir Ryan is not a member of the Esteban Knights.”
Ryan simply nodded his head. Seeing Philip, he thought that he had not been able to be Elysia’s side for several days.
“Where is Lady Elysia?”
At his question, Philip began to twitch.
As the wicked look made Ryan bewildered, Lloyd wrinkled his face.
“If it’s not an important report, you’d better take a break first.”
“...Yes?”
“Maybe it will be difficult to meet His Excellency and Madame for a few days.”
“Then, I’ll go back to my room and wait. Please tell Lady Elysia.”
Philip called the maid and ordered to guide Ryan to his annex.
Because of that, Lloyd gave him envious glances as he watched Ryan follow the maid.
Why wouldn’t he just want to rest peacefully and wait? But, he was so overworked that he had a pile of things to report.
Lloyd then opened his mouth in a rebellious voice.
“Butler, there are no unimportant reports.”
“Hmm. I don’t really recommend it unless you want to lose your job.”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Philip.
Philip was resolutely signaling that he should never think of going up to the second floor.
Lloyd was thinking about whether there was a report that he was going to post today, and if it had been delayed, he would have put his life in more danger than it would now be to seek His Excellency.
Recently, there was one of the things that he was asked to do as a top priority.
“Philip, may I have a word with His Excellency?”
Philip raised his eyebrows. Even after all this, he still said that it was really important to find His Excellency.
At that, Lloyd asked a question that came to mind.
“By the way, it hasn’t been three days since His Excellency came to the mansion. How long has it been since the two ate in the bedroom...”
“It was three days ago. Soon, it will be the fourth day.”
Philip, with a happy expression on his face, guessed when the last meal was served to him.
By now, he thought he might go up one more time.
