A Certain Winter’s Tale Chapter 2.15 - Winterfall

So, with a final sigh, Noah threw his arms around Elia’s neck and clung to him. As soon as the faint scent entered his embrace, Elia’s face lit up as if in a dream.

“Noah.”

“If it comes to that, let’s get scolded together.”

Elia chuckled softly and proceeded to strip off all of Noah’s remaining clothes. In his arms, Noah was finally left stark naked, without a single thread on him. As Noah, trembling slightly, hugged him tightly, Elia whispered softly into his ear.

“Take off my clothes, too.”

“Ugh.”

“Go on. I want you to do it.”

Noah slowly raised his hands and untied the front of Elia’s top. Gazing at his finely trembling hands, Elia encouraged him by showering kisses all over his face, on his cheeks and forehead alike.

Once he had finally managed to push off Elia’s top, a man’s well-sculpted upper body, different from his own, was revealed.

It was a body as smooth and beautiful as a plaster statue meticulously carved by a master craftsman. However, unlike Noah’s, it was a torso with muscles here and there, exuding masculinity. Noah raised a trembling hand and cautiously caressed Elia’s pectoral muscles.

“Hah.”

At Noah’s touch, Elia’s breath deepened, laden with heat. Elia pulled Noah’s other hand, leading it to his own belt. After placing the knot in his hand, Elia gave Noah a seductive smile.

“Untie it.”

Noah’s hands trembled even more. As if to encourage him, Elia left small kisses on the nape of his neck, occasionally sucking on the skin to create his marks. From the stimulation of the lips above, and from the tension of undressing another person below, Noah’s hands trembled pitifully.

Slowly but surely, the belt came undone, and finally, Elia’s lower garments collapsed to the floor along with his undergarments. The moment their eyes met with the symbol of manhood that had been inside.

“Ah?”

Noah squeezed his eyes shut and tried to back away. But Elia, with a look of regret, wrapped his arms tightly around Noah’s body and pulled him into his embrace.

“What’s wrong?”

“El, Elia… th-that’s too scary…”

He had seen it.

From the moment they entered the room while Elia was caressing Noah’s body, Elia’s member had already been in that state. No, not just now, but recently, even when Noah wasn’t in front of him, Elia would think of him and occasionally become erect. Unaware of the man’s dark inner thoughts, Noah squeezed his eyes shut and clung to Elia’s neck once more.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“Hah…”

“If you say you want to back out now, I think I’ll be in a bit of a difficult spot. Noah.”

“I, I know…”

Noah squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath. Although he had no direct experience, he had received a unique sex education from the women of the red house. He was well aware not only of sexual intercourse between men and women but also of how to engage in relations between two men.

‘But, I never heard it would be this enormous.’

While Noah hesitated with his eyes squeezed shut, Elia kissed him as if to soothe him and slowly slid his hand down toward Noah’s lower half.

Past the slender but smoothly extended waistline, to the buttocks, plump and pleasing to both touch and sight. And then…

Caressing a buttock that filled one hand, Elia slowly parted them and pushed his finger inside.

“…Ah!”

A tearing pain washed over him as the folds, which had never been invaded by anything in his life, were spread apart. Seeing Noah flinch and tense his shoulders, Elia was also quite surprised.

“Noah, I’m sorry. Are you all right?”

“Ah…! It hurts.”

As tears even welled up in the corners of Noah’s eyes, Elia kissed them regretfully.

“This is a problem.”

“What is? Whoa!”

Elia swiftly lifted the bewildered Noah into his arms. Noah, too embarrassed to lift his face, entrusted his body to Elia. He was immediately carried by strong arms and placed on the bed he had neatly made after leaving it that morning.

After carrying Noah to the bed, Elia cleanly removed his own top, which had been left open at the front after Noah had taken it off, and dropped it off the side of the bed. Only then were the two of them completely naked.

Little by little, their composure was slipping away. Noah had to focus on steadying his embarrassment and his quickening breath, while Elia had to concentrate on not immediately devouring the feast laid out before him as a pale, naked form. The excitement and heat gradually took hold of their minds.

With a slightly hurried motion, Elia laid Noah down. Then, after moistening his long, straight fingers with saliva a few times, he immediately tried to invade between Noah’s buttocks once more.

“Ugh… h-h-hold on… Elia… ugh…”

Again, Noah cried out in pain. Not even one knuckle of a finger had gone in, yet the entrance was already tight.

But Elia had already been as patient as he could be. Those who came to sleep with the monarch, regardless of gender, entered the bedchamber already prepared. Thus, Elia had never dealt with anyone with this much patience. He was simply itching to shove his member into Noah and thrust recklessly right away. Despite Noah’s groaning… he had never felt such intense sexual desire before.

“Try to bear it.”

“Ha, ugh…”

The feel of the soft, tender flesh wrapping around his finger was exquisite. It felt right to fit his member into this place instead of his finger. His penis, sensitively aroused with lust, was twitching with the desire to delve inside that delicate entrance.

“Relax a little, Noah.”

“Heut, heuk.”

Noah gritted his teeth and tried to obey Elia, twitching and tightening his lower body. That clumsy movement drove Elia into an even deeper lust. Breathing out what sounded like a moan, Elia finally, unable to hold back any longer, mercilessly pushed his long middle finger in.

“Aah…!”

Noah’s eyes widened as he let out a moan. If a single finger hurt this much, anything more seemed utterly impossible. Besides…

“Elia, don’t move. It hurts… ugh…”

“Shhh, just bear it a little longer.”

Elia moved his hand impatiently. Rummaging with the finger buried inside, he began to pry open Noah’s tightly closed entrance. From the pain of being prodded and dug into from below, Noah gritted his teeth and moaned.

A hot, slick entrance. Elia, as if bewitched, inserted his finger into that tiny spot. Noah was letting out suppressed moans, but when he greedily rubbed the inside, it seemed to swallow one finger with ease. So Elia let out a languid sigh and pushed another finger inside.

“Aaagh?!”

Finally, Noah reached down and stopped Elia. A pale, trembling hand grabbed his wrist, but Elia, out of his mind, tried to advance the now two fingers further inside. But then…

“Heuk, heuk, ugh… sob…”

Through his disjointed reason, the sound of sobbing reached him, and Elia, startled, came back to his senses.

“Noah.”

“…Heuk, ugh, it hurts… heuk, ugh…”

Realizing his mistake, Elia pulled out his hand and, with a sigh, drew Noah into his arms. Only then did Noah burst into the tears he had been holding back, hugging Elia back. Elia soothed his crying by repeatedly kissing his flushed, tear-streaked cheeks.

“I’m sorry, Noah. I’m sorry. I was too hasty.”

“Heut, ugh, Elia, are you going to be like that? I told you it hurt…”

“Hah, I’m sorry, Noah. I’m sorry…”

Noah gradually stopped crying, calming his trembling breaths in Elia’s embrace. As he patted that delicate shoulder, his gaze drifted to the foot of the bed, and Elia suddenly froze. He had made eye contact with another living creature in the room.

“…”

When the patting hand stopped, Noah lifted his tear-soaked head and followed Elia’s gaze to the foot of the bed.

There, a large, white beast with shining blue eyes was staring intently at Elia. Noah wiped away his tears and tilted his head.

“Oh, Snow?”

“Hah, Snow. Go away.”

Snow, unusually, did not obey Elia’s command and placed his front paws on the bed, stretching his neck out long. Then, he gently licked Noah’s fingers, which had just wiped away his tears.

“Ah…”

Noah stared at Snow with a dazed expression. Elia pulled Noah further into his arms as if snatching him away from Snow and said curtly.

“Snow. Get down.”

“Haha, it seems Snow is comforting me because you were bullying me, El.”

Elia’s expression was colored with displeasure. Noah looked at his face and smiled faintly. Only then did Snow seem satisfied. He lowered his paws from the bed, trudged back to his spot, flopped down, and closed his eyes.

Elia sighed and pressed his lips to the nape of Noah’s neck.

“Wicked thing. He doesn’t even listen to his master anymore.”

“Haha, I know, right. If he doesn’t listen to his zookeeper, I wonder if he’s even less likely to listen to his original master?”

With a troubled smile, Elia stared intently at Noah’s face.

“Why?”

Noah asked back, but Elia only had an unreadable smile on his lips. He gazed at him for a while, then, with a small sigh, he ravenously sucked on Noah’s lips. Noah, too, had by then relaxed in Elia’s arms and was calmly accepting the kiss.

Noah thought Elia would part his body and enter him once again, so he tried to relax as much as possible. But around the time the long kiss ended, Elia held Noah, lifted him on top of his own body, pulled the blanket over them, and closed his eyes.

“El.”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you going to do more?”

“…I don’t think I can today.”

“But…”

“If you cry and make a fuss about it hurting one more time, I think Snow might just bite me this time.”

“Ah… I didn’t make that much of a fuss.”

Looking embarrassed, Noah buried his forehead into Elia’s firm chest and sighed. Elia kissed his forehead and patted Noah’s back.

“Let’s do it next time we meet. I’ll come more prepared.”

“Prepared?”

“Yes. In a different place, and we’ll need tools, too.”
