I Became The Wife Of The Cursed Grand Duke Chapter 65

“Well, what the…!”

 

“Of course, if you don’t like it, you can tie me up with that scarf, I think I’d find the experience of being tied up quite interesting.”

 

The words were a warning, and Kalian buried himself deep inside her.

 

They held each other deeply.

 

The heat that would have driven them mad otherwise soon melted into each other’s body heat.

 

What an ecstatic feeling it was to be so connected to someone.

 

Kalian loved her connection. It was like reconnecting with a deep connection, a playfulness he’d lost during his long life.

 

As he swallowed his surging desire and savored the moment, Evelyn gasped against his shoulder.

 

The way she seemed to want him so desperately, the emotion in her breathing, turned him into a lust-blind beast once again.

 

“Ha.”

 

Evelyn let out a hot breath and threw back her long neck. The light flickered through the dense lace.

 

Her tense body stiffened like a log as she struggled to see.

 

“Huh, you need to relax. You realize by now that you’ll hurt yourself if you don’t.”

 

Kalian said in a raspy voice.

 

Evelyn was still sobbing and trembling.

 

Finally, Kalian tilted his head and swallowed her sobbing lips.

 

Evelyn gasped and threw her arms around his neck.

 

A wave of pleasure so violent that it felt like the world was turning upside down shook her entire body in a dizzying rush.

 

The pleasure he was giving her was absolute, blinding her like lace over her eyes, until she realized she wouldn’t mind if it all ended this way.

 

Evelyn nuzzled her now-naked shoulder and muttered to herself, “I wish time would stop.”

 

‘I wish time would stop, I wish it would just stop and not go on forever.’

 

Suddenly afraid of herself for thinking such thoughts, Evelyn called out to him in a trembling voice.

 

“Ka-Kalian…”

 

“You know how to call me by my first name.”

 

“…….”

 

“I should give you a prize.”

 

The space they occupied was filled with nothing but animalistic groans, the sound of flesh rubbing against flesh, and the scent of sweat and bodily fluids mingling feverishly.

 

“Ha, aaah!”

 

He really felt like a half-crazed man at this point.

 

He wasn’t sure if it was true that he hadn’t left anyone behind because he’d missed the one person he’d been missing.

 

She pushed on, taking every breath, she could get, tearing her sanity to shreds.

 

“At this rate, I might not even have to go to Innes to get the curse broken.”

 

In a flash, her vision cleared.

 

Her eye patch had been flicked off, and he was staring down at a woman who was writhing in pleasure.

 

“You look at me like that.”

 

Her entire body tingled at the intensity of his stare.

 

“You can’t make me stop.”

 

As his hunched back settled back into place, he scooped Evelyn up from his desk.

 

“Uh, where are you going?”

 

“Didn’t I tell you, next time I’ll make sure to bring a mirror?”

 

It felt like she’d heard that yesterday. But she thought it was just a joke to keep things interesting.

 

“Really, what you’re trying to do is…”

 

Evelyn’s eyes snapped open at the unbearably deep stimulation, and she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.

 

“How could you do this…”

 

“What?”

 

Suddenly, her eyes locked with his in the mirror. He sensed her shuddering with disgust and spoke conspiratorially.

 

“You shouldn’t call me that after what you’ve done to me. Now come here and tell me you’re ashamed of me, and how much it will hurt me. Wouldn’t it?”

 

She didn’t look like someone who would be hurt by that.

 

Evelyn closed and opened her feverish eyes lazily.

 

His voice, low and soft, his body heat against her back.

 

The hand that gripped his forearm in desperation kept slipping in sweat.

 

When she seemed to struggle, Kalian turned her around and trapped her in his arms.

 

He kissed her softly throughout the act.

 

The way he covered her lips with his own and stroked the delicate parts of her mouth with the tip of his tongue was soothing.

 

Still, a steady sob escaped between their intertwined tongues.

 

The bridge of his nose wrinkled in a feral snarl, and he pulled her harder against him, ready to crush her body.

 

He thought he was a man of great patience, Kalian thought. But in the face of raw desire, he finally gave in.

 

It could have looked ugly in her eyes, remembering how she had insisted she would never desire him.

 

“I should have been more restrained.”

 

He licked her lips gently, as if in belated compassion.

 

“Your lips are parched. Let me get you some water.”

 

Evelyn barely opened her eyes.

 

She shook her head in rejection, feeling the sensitivity that the simple act of their lips overlapping had heightened.

 

“No, I’m fine, I can handle it.”

 

‘Who the hell was she to ask for water again?’

 

Evelyn scanned the room slowly, the smell of lust filling the air. No more scandal in the duke’s castle, not even in the North.

 

It was then.

 

“You are a very strange man.”

 

The voice snapped her out of her reverie. Evelyn squeezed her eyes shut and asked calmly.

 

“What… thing?”

 

‘Shouldn’t she have been so hard on herself?’

 

‘Or had she failed to satisfy him.’

 

She tried not to let her heart sink, but there was no way he couldn’t feel it.

 

The distance between them was that close.

 

Or so he thought, staring into Evelyn’s eyes as if he could see right through her.

 

“You seem blind enough to lay down your life for me, and yet you look so vulnerable, like you could leave at any moment.”

 

“That’s…”

 

“Like a reincarnation who has experienced life many times.”

 

“!”

 

Evelyn looked a little surprised, trying to figure out why he would say that.

 

A reincarnation.

 

Evelyn hadn’t even thought about regression before she’d re-lived her life.

 

Looking at her, Kalian added calmly.

 

“Of course, I know that’s not true, I just meant that you’re too mature for your age, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.”

 

With that, Kalian casually changed the subject.

 

“You still think you need a title and a manor, don’t you?”

 

“……?”

 

“I mean, are you finding it difficult to be satisfied with being a grand duchess?”

 

Evelyn furrowed her brow.

 

“I find your question difficult.”

 

‘What the hell does Kalian want to talk to me about?’

 

“As soon as I return to the North, I intend to grant you a knighthood and an estate. In recognition of your work in this matter.”

 

His words made Evelyn’s head spin again.

 

That means he’ll reward her regardless of whether the contract is terminated or not.

 

Of course, she wasn’t going to say no. She was happy that her abilities had been recognized, but an unexplained uneasiness tugged at her heart.

 

“You mean… take responsibility?”

 

A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and Kalian shook his head, his thumb stroking her lips slowly.

 

“It means I will recognize you as my mate. I have never given away what is mine to anyone before.”

 

Johansen’s lands consisted of a total of sixteen large and small estates.

 

A ridiculously small number for such a vast territory.

 

The northern part of the land was inhospitable, and the demons were frequent.

 

This means that any land that is suitable for human settlement is already held by lords.

 

Therefore, he has no choice but to give away his private lands. The land of Kumsaragi is rich in resources.

 

When he first offered the manor as a condition of the contract, he thought she already knew this, but the look on her face told him otherwise.

 

“And by becoming my mate, you have become my weakness.”

 

He said, his voice a little more serious.

 

“What you’ve accomplished is such a great power that there will be forces everywhere trying to eat you.”

 

“…….”

 

“So don’t show your power without caution. Especially not with your life.”

 

Evelyn understood his words but also wondered.

 

She understood the need to be careful not to leave a flaw in Kalian’s future.

 

“Even if it’s… for you?”

 

“Of course.”

 

“…….”

 

“Because even if your blood has the power of regeneration, it won’t save your life.”

 

Evelyn knew she couldn’t do that. She wasn’t afraid of death.

 

But she didn’t finish her prepared words.

 

For, as if he would not hear her retort, he moved again, with a savage kiss that threatened to consume her soul.

 

Their ragged breathing and the wet friction of their joined bodies echoed in the silent office for a long time.
