As My Husband Said, I Brought in a Lover Chapter 226

[Side Story 2: Vacation – Part 3]

 

“If you invite them, everyone will be delighted. I’m also enjoying the relaxation here much more.”

 

“Really?”

 

When Luize asked with a bright face, Edward smiled and answered, “Yes.”

 

“Then I should look forward to the next vacation. Though I don’t know when that will be… but I can see why everyone is so eager for a vacation.” Her gaze turned to the closed door of the large room. “Come to think of it, I should have changed the furniture in advance. The bed in the room Maxion and I used is too small for you, and the bed in the large room is old.”

 

“I’ve already taken care of the bed.”

 

When Edward snapped his fingers, there was a thud from the bedroom. As Luize looked at him with a puzzled expression, he shrugged. She stood up and opened the bedroom door to find that the bed had been replaced with another.

 

“Huh, this…?”

 

“I swapped it temporarily with the one from the Lindeman estate. The one from the palace was too large.”

 

“Won’t the butler have trouble handling it?”

 

“He’s competent, so he’ll manage just fine.”

 

The two of them laughed as they looked at each other. Meanwhile, the butler at the Lindeman estate, feeling an ominous premonition, went looking for the source, only to find that the bed in the bedroom had been replaced with an old one. He sighed deeply and locked the door.

 

Luize closed the bedroom door and returned to her seat. “That bed is probably unusable. Didn’t you throw it away?”

 

“It’s a piece of furniture full of memories. Actually, I wouldn’t mind using it as is, but I thought it might be too hard on your back.”

 

Luize swallowed nervously. “That sounds like tonight won’t be easy.”

 

“I suppose it’s because I’ve been holding back for quite a while.”

 

“Have you really been holding back…?” She was a bit doubtful. After all, Edward had taken advantage of their honeymoon status to be intimate with her every night. Even on days when one of them was away from the palace, he would teleport to wherever Luize was to spend some secret time together.

 

“When there was a schedule the next day, I tried not to indulge too much, considering Miss Luize’s body.” As he spoke with a tender smile, a strange light flickered in his eyes. In his darkened pupils, there was a familiar desire. “Not that I plan to overdo it until tomorrow afternoon, but I’d like to satisfy just enough of this accumulated thirst.”

 

Edward met Luize’s gaze as she sat beside him. As he looked at her, his head tilted slightly, and his fine black hair fell over his forehead. His face, illuminated by the flickering light, was as handsome as ever, but today, he looked a little more dangerous.

 

“Let’s promise to finish before sunrise. We’re supposed to visit the village tomorrow. By the way, the forest’s morning is about two hours earlier than in the capital.”

 

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

 

He curved his lips into a grin.

 

“In that case, we should start a little earlier since we’ve lost two hours.”

 

“But we just had dinner.”

 

“Think of it as post-meal exercise.”

 

When Luize blushed and nodded slightly, he let out a pleased chuckle, picked her up, and carried her to the bedroom.

 

* * *

As soon as the door closed, their lips met. Entangling their breaths deeply, he skillfully guided Luize to the bed. As he pressed forward, Luize staggered back and collapsed onto the bed. Their lips parted briefly.

 

“Huu…” Catching their breath, their gazes locked onto each other.

 

No matter how many nights they spent together, this act never grew tiresome because their relationship was founded on love and trust. Every time they confirmed that they desired each other, their bodies burned. Although Edward was a bit more fervent, Luize also enjoyed the moment when the two of them became one.

 

His hand, which had been caressing the rise over her nightgown, slowly slid down and delved between her legs.

 

“Ah…”

 

The sound of wetness filled the bedroom. Every time his fingers moved, Luize let out a heated breath. Edward took in her appearance with a persistent gaze.

 

“Every time I confirm that you still desire me…”

 

Her body reached a climax. Finally, after confirming that her body had relaxed, he withdrew his hand.

 

“It becomes difficult to maintain my composure.”

 

Edward began to gently undress her. As her nightgown, which was like a one-piece dress, rolled up, her fair skin gradually revealed itself. Although he could have undressed her instantly with a snap of his fingers, he had recently come to enjoy this process.

 

As the fabric rolled up and more bare skin was exposed, the changing expressions on Luize’s face, which only he could see, intrigued him. Embarrassment, excitement, eyes filled with arousal, a face that anticipated the act to come, exchanged glances, quickened breaths, and gradually rising tension. All of these steps heated their bodies before their relationship even began in earnest. Before long, the clothes they were wearing were scattered messily on the floor, and soon after, their bodies were deeply intertwined.

 

“Ah, Edward…!”

 

As he moved gently, he pressed his lips against her skin. Every time a red mark was left on her fair skin, soft moans echoed through the room.

 

Edward whispered in a low, scratchy voice near her ear. “…Luize.” Supporting his body with one arm, he interlocked his fingers with hers with the other hand. “Haah, Luize.” He called her name habitually as he thrust passionately. Each time, Luize would hold him tighter, as if telling him not to stop.

 

Edward’s muscular body was large enough to completely cover her, even when they were lying side by side. The difference in their body sizes was more pronounced when they were skin-to-skin than when they stood next to each other. The size and thickness of his frame were entirely different from her body.

 

“Ah…”

 

Beads of sweat formed on their skin, and moans mixed with their ragged breaths. The sound of the bed creaking and their bodies colliding filled the dark bedroom. As the night grew deeper and the moon high in the sky shone through the small cabin’s window, Luize arched her back and held him tightly.

 

“Aah…!”

 

Sensing that she had reached her peak, Edward also exhaled a hot breath as he fully pressed his body against hers.

 

“Hu…”

 

Luize panted and gazed into his eyes.

 

“Haah, you’re too hasty…”

 

Except for being slightly disheveled, Edward’s face, bathed in moonlight, looked the same as before. The desire that had seemed to subside in his eyes quickly surged again.

 

“…It seems we’ll be like this a few more times.”

 

“Wait.”

 

“I ask for your understanding.” Panting, Edward, who was holding her, began to move again.

 

“Ah, Edward. Let’s take a brea… hngg.”

 

Already out of patience, he eagerly kissed her lips.

 

The old cabin was small and worn, but it was enough to spend a long night. Edward only stopped moving when the light outside the window started to grow dim. As promised, he finished before the sun fully rose.

 

Snap After snapping his fingers to tidy up the bed, Edward caressed the face of the exhausted, sleeping Luize and spoke. “…Luize.”

 

The truth was, there hadn’t been many chances to grow closer emotionally due to the lack of a proper vacation. In the past six months, he had even felt envious of Maxion and Luize’s easygoing relationship. In public, Edward still called her empress, and in private, he used the honorific ‘Miss Luize,’ so he wanted to settle on a term of endearment soon.

 

Smooch. He kissed Luize’s forehead.

 

Since their vacation had just begun, Edward could naturally bring it up as they spent time alone together. Although they had unexpectedly run into someone during the day, this trip was supposed to be a cozy time just for the two of them. But once again, Edward’s expectations were completely and spectacularly off the mark.
