Chapter 191

I couldn’t help but smile in anticipation as I looked down at the caramel beauty in front of me, her legs parting readily as she pushed forward, more than happy with the punishment she was about to receive.

Not that I blamed her. Considering some of our earlier encounters in our relationship, it could be hardly considered a punishment, but I neither had the time nor the inclination to punish her for real, especially with the Princess’ team waiting on the edge, waiting to latch on to the opportunity to actually convert her to their side.

I was confident in preventing that, of course, but that was under the condition that I was around to intervene — a fact that I could no longer take as a given considering the recent chain of events. I couldn’t guarantee that I would be around, and it was for the better not to leave Oeyne’s vulnerable to their political predations.

Of course, there was another, more primal, reason for my decision. It was hard to deny having such a beautiful and accomplished woman in front of me, parting her legs obediently to receive her ‘punishment’.

I couldn’t help but lean forward further and bite her shoulder, leaving a soft mark — one that I made permanent with a little application of a healing spell by modifying a scar-removal spell — to underline my ownership.

“You’re mine,” I growled as I grabbed her hips and impaled her, earning a loud moan. There was not a little bit of gentleness in my push, but she clearly didn’t mind that the slightest of her moan was any indicator.

Or the notification I just received, the numbers working excellently to show the depth of her pleasure.

Meanwhile, my hands tightened around her waist, enjoying the feeling of her supple skin while her back arched under the aggressive invasion, her body melding against my transmission.

Yet, just because I decided not to punish her didn’t mean that I wouldn’t use the opportunity to drive my message deeper. “So, tell me, what was your biggest mistake,” I asked.

“Losing the game —“ she started, only to be interrupted by a slap to her beautiful breast, making it jiggle erotically, which was further enhanced by her beautiful moan.

“No, it wasn’t that. Try again.”

The pleasure invaded her body after my spank, but I was happy to see that, behind that, a thoughtful expression appeared as she considered my question again. “Betting too much —“ she started, only to receive another spank, this time twisting her nipple in the process.

After the twist, it took a while for her moans to subside, her body tensing as the pleasure reached a level that would have triggered an explosion if it wasn’t for the spell that kept her on the edge.

I kept that spell ongoing, as it was the only thing that underlined the sense of punishment.

Even though it came with a reward at the end.

“Try again, but this time, try to think based on my warnings.”

She paused for a long while, trying to think, which didn’t get any easier with the steady rhythm of my hips invading her core repeatedly. “P-playing with them,” she managed to stammer after a while, her hesitant tone interrupted by moans, making it even harder for her to answer.

I leaned forward, softly kissing the bite mark that I left earlier on her shoulder, then moving to kiss her neck. “Good work,” I whispered into her ear. I rose back, once again focusing on the steady movement of my hips. “Don’t forget that they are not our allies, and they have nebulous objectives. The less involved you get with them, the better.”

“But... But what if they ask me for more.”

“Tell that the headmistress has an urgent request from you, and start working on the most complicated, the most nebulous research project you have, and say that you’re under orders not to stop for anything except helping me forge the item they need once my research is complete.”

“But...” she gasped in shock. “Faking an order from the headmistress is —“ she started, only to be interrupted by another slap to her beautiful breast, this time hard enough to leave a mark.

“Who do you think you’re talking with. If I say the headmistress would send an order, it means that she’ll send an order. No question about that.”

As I talked, I let my hands wander, climbing up until they arrived at her spectacular globes. But this time, rather than visiting for a flash, they stayed on their glorious peaks, digging down harshly.

She moaned as I kneaded her tits aggressively, her moans rising even more as her tunnels tightened, extracting a moan from me as well.

“Then, the next question. Tell me everything that happened during the game, particularly about the Princess’ handmaid. First, what was her name?”

It was good timing, because, under the endless rush of pleasure, Oeyne was on the edge of collapse already, and the fresh pleasure broke her resistance. “A...another perk,” she gasped. “This time, even stronger.”

“I know, sweetie. I want you to be stronger in case you face a threat,” I added before leaning forward and stealing a kiss. “Now, why don’t you take a nap while I go and work. And don’t forget to stay away from the princess’ team, and don’t agree to anything before talking to me.”

“A-as you wish,” she murmured. “A nap wouldn’t be...” she added, unable to finish her sentence before the exhaustion caught up with her.
