Maybe he was drunk.

For a moment, Leah thought that was the problem. But his face was so serious, it made her narrow her eyes, and Ishakan smiled as he looked steadily back at her, silent.

“……”

She felt her mouth go dry. It made her weak, when he did this. Every time he stared at her, with his eyes filled with so many emotions…

Leah looked away. Standing in that single beam of light in the dark forest, she looked white as snow, but Ishakan still stood partially in darkness. Reflexively, she pulled him to her to stand completely in the light.

The way he looked at her was like a child who had just learned what it was like to fall in love. His arms embraced her and he kissed her gently over and over, kisses filled with warmth and deep affection.

It was embarrassing when she realized he wanted to have sex outside. And it also didn’t seem like a bad idea. She had already done so many things she could never have imagined since she met this man, but she couldn’t help trying to distract him first.

“The Tomaris you took out of the royal palace…” She began.

“Morga will talk to them in your place.”

“Then the other Kurkans…”

“They are celebrating the fact that you have regained your feelings.”

She hadn’t known that. She’d thought they had just come to enjoy a picnic with her, without any other meaning behind it. Leah nodded.

“Do you have any other questions?” He asked quietly.

She nodded again, and then racked her brain trying to think of something to ask. She couldn’t think of any questions that didn’t sound foolish as he pushed her backward, propelling her into the trees with effortless strength until her back pushed into the trunk of a tree. When she looked up at him, Ishakan thought her eyes were as round as a baby rabbit’s.

“Leah…”

As soon as she saw the slight anxiety in his golden eyes, she felt herself relenting. The Kurkans, with their beast blood, could not be considered human. Surely it was a struggle for him to keep his patience when he was with Leah, with his instincts fighting his reason. Silently, she opened her arms.

At that moment, she didn’t care about being embarrassed. She was willing to do anything to please the man she loved.

The second she granted permission, he dropped to his knees before her, and Leah held her breath. He was like a knight, swearing an oath before her. He smiled as he met her eyes.

“This is the first time I’ve knelt before anyone since I came of age.”

Ishakan’s teeth bit her thighs, working upward until he reached her underclothes. Turning his head, he licked the thin fabric with his tongue, then tore it apart with his teeth. Watching him, Leah swallowed dryly.

“……!”

Parting her [email protected] with his thumbs, he licked her cl!toris without a moment’s hesitation. The tingling sensation made her rise up on tiptoe, her thighs trembling. Leah moaned as the tongue tormenting her cl!toris pushed inside her.

“Ah, Ishakan…!”

Her legs wobbled. She almost fell, but Ishakan gripped her tight with his large hands as a shiver raced through her whole body, as if she was being caressed with feathers everywhere, all at once. Her head shook from side to side at the unbearable pleasure.
