Chapter 6

The room that the attendant showed Nadia was gorgeous and beautiful, befitting of the Imperial Palace. The attendant that led her to the room told her that a maid would come to assist her soon.

Nadia looked around cautiously.

There was a reception room, a balcony, a large bathroom and, of course, a bedroom. Though she almost forgot about the last one because of her husband’s indifferent attitude.

Ah!

How could she forget about it? Nadia turned white. Marquis Elantz looked too indifferent, but before that, she was quick to redirect her thoughts and push the blame to herself.

She knew very little about what went on between men and women in the night. All she knew about it was what her tutor told her, or what she heard during tea time, or from romance novels. However, wherever it was that she heard the story, they would always say that it would either hurt so much that you’d feel like dying, or you’d feel so much pleasure that you’d still feel like dying. She didn’t know what to believe.

Her heart was beating hard.

Nadia tried to calm down somehow, but she was startled by a sudden knock on the door.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the Marquis who came in, but the maid. Nadia relaxed a little as she was reassured. But now that she was in a thin nightgown, her fear of the act rose again when she was alone in the large room.

Again, of all things, there were nasty rumors about the Marquis. When she first heard it, she wondered why people would focus on such detailed things about a man they didn’t really know, but it did bother her a lot.

All she thought was that people should mind their own business. Yet, even until a month ago, she never imagined that the scary man from those rumors would be her husband.

Right now, she wasn’t the neglected eldest daughter of a Duke anymore. She tried to comfort herself by thinking that she was now someone’s wife, so they wouldn’t be as hard on her.

Still, in the end, she didn’t want the Emperor to send the Marquis back to this room.

Nadia paced nervously in the drawing room at first, though she eventually returned to the bedroom. Looking around, she found a bottle of wine, a crystal chalice, and some beautifully plated sliced fruits beside them on the bedside table.

Wouldn’t tea be more suitable for waiting?

As she sat in front of the table, Nadia hesitated over and over before she finally opened the bottle. If it was something that would be difficult when done sober… No, she shouldn’t make excuses.

What’s wrong with drinking when this was here for someone to drink?

She only ever drank alcohol at banquets, but it was good that she could relax after drinking it. Nadia filled about half of the glass with wine, then took a sip to taste it. It wasn’t as bitter as she expected, rather it was a little sweet. It suited her palate more than she thought.

As she ate some fruit from time to time, and the glass was quickly emptied. Meanwhile, the Marquis did not come. She hesitated again and took one last glass before deciding to go to bed if he did not come before she was finished drinking. There was nothing she could do. Nadia wanted to put it off somehow anyway, even though it was obvious that she would have to do it eventually.

Marquis Elantz did not return until Nadia emptied the glass of wine, and the time was already past midnight. She lay in bed without waiting up for him any longer.

She could barely stand because of all that she drank.

Nadia, who had drifted off into quite a deep slumber, began to feel strange less than an hour after she fell asleep.

The bed shook. No, it was her who seemed to be shaking. Was it her or both? Nadia woke up with a small groan.

It was then that she felt that something was wrong. Lying on her back, she saw a black shadow looming over her and pressing down on her body, an intense, tight feeling from her lower body.

She opened her lips to scream, though she couldn’t because a large hand blocked her mouth.

“Are you awake now?”

The black shadow penetrated into her, breathing softly in her ears.

It was a familiar voice. She didn’t even try to think of anything else, but when Nadia heard his voice, she felt relieved.

It was her husband, who she met for the first time today.

She shook helplessly again as she tried to make sense of her thoughts. At the same time, there was a bit of pain and a strange excitement heating up in her abdomen. People said that it hurt so much that women would want to die, but it wasn’t like that. Perhaps it was because of the wine? Nadia breathed out onto the palm of the hand that covered her lips.

He nibbled on Nadia’s earlobes teasingly and whispered, “Because you fell asleep… huu, I went ahead and started.”

She craned her neck and flinched. He sucked on the supple skin on her neck, which made a chilling sensation rise up her spine.

Nadia belatedly realized that she was naked. She couldn’t even hide in embarrassment. She thought he’d leave her alone if she went to bed first, but she didn’t think that he’d start something with a sleeping person.

To be honest, she didn’t think of it as a possibility at all.

She thought that maybe all the rumors about the Marquis’ preferences were wrong. She couldn’t confirm everything yet, though, at the very least, she had confirmed that he was a pervert…

“Hngh!”

The hand that was on her mouth soon groped her chest tightly, and reflexively, Nadia grabbed his wrist.

The heat behind her face burned like fire.

The Marquis, however, rubbed her soft breasts and pinched the nipples that stood erect. Her lower half was soaking, and it was like there was electricity coming from his hands and into her skin.

Nadia was flustered by that sensation and tried to sit up, but the man pulled her ankle and lifted it up to his shoulder, leaving her pinned.

“You’re quite good at receiving me. Is this your first time?”

She wanted to ask what he was talking about, but, of course, she couldn’t.

He grabbed her waist tightly and thrusted into her suddenly. As he went in and out of her soaking entrance, a strange feeling spread all over her body, a pained pleasure.

“Ah, ung, hnngh… Ahh…”

The world became so terribly hot. Until a few hours ago, in this position and fully naked, she had no idea that she would do this with a man whom she had just met that day.

Did everyone do it this way…?

Nadia’s thoughts were all tangled up. Nadia felt uncomfortable with the strange warmth that touched her bare skin, this body over her that dug into places where she didn’t even know existed.

Every time he went in and out of her, there was a sound of damp flesh pounding into each other. She was so embarrassed by it that she couldn’t stand it. The same was true of the sounds that came out of her own lips. Nadia raised her hand to cover her own mouth, but the man snatched her hand with a smile.

Now, both her wrists were caught in an instant. It was a grip that she couldn’t shake off.

He began to thrust into her harder as though he was deliberately trying to get a rise out of her. Nadia shrieked and moaned wildly. Her buttocks, the inside of her thighs, and the very act of accepting him seemed like it was all to tease her.

What was ridiculous was that, despite these violent, sudden movements, her body felt a rising sensation—and that sensation swelled up little by little whenever the man would move.

“Ah! AH…! Y-You can’t, haa, please stop…”

Despite Nadia’s pleading, the man did not stop.

She was even afraid of the pleasure that was rising higher… higher and higher because of his manhood rubbing into the same place over and over. She struggled to escape from him, but the man overpowered her easily.

Then, Nadia saw a huge wave of bright light behind her eyes as she moaned and wailed. She could feel her body twitching in pleasure. Her stomach tightened to the fullest, and the place between her thighs flinched endlessly.

With a wild growl, he plunged into her fiercely one last time until the base of his length, which burst with fluids that she could feel flowing deep into her. Nadia trembled wildly as though she had a seizure.

Both the tutor’s words and the novel’s scenes were false. So painful or so pleasurable that once could die…

This… This wasn’t anything like that.

Catching her breath, Nadia waited for the storm-like sensations to leave her body, and she shivered at the feeling of the man’s length still inside her, rubbing into her sensitive inner flesh as it was taken out of her.

Her face instantly turned red when she could feel something trickling down below.

With that, it should be done. she gently placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, who was nibbling on her chin, then pushed him away carefully.

Their eyes met.

Marquis Elantz looked down at her with a curious glance, grinning. He wasn’t phased by her pushing him away, but instead, he kissed her. His hand, which had been roving all over Nadia’s body, soon grabbed her hips once more and pulled her closer.

Surprised, Nadia yelped in a small voice, but as she opened her mouth, his tongue slipped in.

He reached down to stroke himself, and at the same time, she could hear the sound of squelching made from their mouths so clearly that she wanted to turn away in shame, but she couldn’t because the man wouldn’t let her go, continuing to explore her mouth with his slick tongue.

Only having been kissed with a slight touch of lips on her cheek until now, so she had no idea how to respond to another person’s tongue in her mouth, with her own tongue being sucked, her lips licked and bitten.

For her, the same was true about the secret place that she had never touched before. She didn’t know about that part that she only touched whenever she bathed, and so she learned how it felt to be touched by another, now with her thighs spread out and his manhood rubbing over her sensitive entrance.

Each time he grazed over her, her back would arch in tension.

He was hard again.

Nadia’s face turned pale. She was already exhausted, as though her bones had melted from all those jerking movements. Needless to say, she was too tired to receive him again.

Perhaps, he saw the look on her face, though the Marquis only raised one corner of his mouth, then turned her over so that she was lying on her stomach.

Before she could even realize what was going on, her hips were raised in an uncouth position. Nadia was almost reduced to tears.

“T-This… I don’t like thi—AH!”

In one motion, he entered her all at once, and she burst out screaming. She didn’t know how it was possible, but it felt like he had gone deeper into her than before.

She felt more pressure in her stomach.

It was clear that her tightly opened entrance was struggling to accept his entire length.
