CH 36

Before she knew it, Callie’s body was back on the bed.

The nightgown dress she had tightly clenched in front of her chest couldn’t overcome his strength, and fell to the floor again. Her immaculate body was exposed under the bright sunlight coming through the window, not a single freckle in sight. 

He slyly smiled as he scanned every corner of her body. “How can anyone resist such a beautiful bride, Callie? Did I mention that last night? You’re beautiful.”

As his eyes, quickly engulfed in desire, turned towards her, Callie’s cheeks blushed red.

“Your forehead, too.” 

His hand reached up and brushed away the strands of hair falling on her forehead, then his lips touched it.

“And your eyes.”

His lips left her forehead and gently settled on her eyelids.

“And your lips.”

His lips, now free from her eyelids, captured her red lips this time. But, unlike the brief moments spent on her forehead and eyelids, his kiss deepened when his lips settled on hers. Her lips which had willingly parted at his request the night before, parted effortlessly again, and his heated tongue boldly invaded them.

He delved deeply into her throat, pulling back as if teasingly before releasing, repeating the motion. Callie followed suit, moving her tongue along with his.

His kisses, praising her beauty, didn’t end there.

“Your plush earlobe.”

This time, he kissed her earlobe.

“Your graceful collarbone.”

Next, her collarbone.

“Your chest that fills my hands.”

As his hot hand grasped her chest, Callie shuddered uncontrollably.

And there, once again, his lips descended.

When he confidently lifted his head, he teased her peak with his thumb and index finger. Recalling the electrifying thrill she had felt the night before, Callie’s waist involuntarily twisted.

While their lips and tongues were moving above her chest, his hand ventured between her legs.

Quietly settling on the already moistened area, his hand covered it gently as the sunlight seeped through the window. Engaging in such intimate acts at this time felt unfamiliar to her.

It was a scene of heated passion and embarrassment that had never crossed her mind until now, but she had no intention of betraying the desire that had taken hold of her.

With her body surrendered to Brandon’s lips and touch, Callie embraced his neck.

His hand was much more fervent and sensual than the previous night, moving with determination.

Over the course of one night, he had learned and persistently targeted the areas that elicited the most sensitive responses from her.

“Ahh. Ungh.”

It was a deep caress to the point where her mind became hazy. 

Fearing that her moans might escape and be heard outside the door, Callie bit her lip to suppress any sound.

After a while, his lips parted from hers. Still lost in the lingering ecstasy, he partially raised his body and gazed down at her.

His fingers were still inside the same spot where his body had embraced her the previous night. With each movement of his fingers, a wet sound accompanied the rhythm.

The thought of him watching her was nothing short of embarrassing and humiliating.

As she tried to close her spread legs, he blocked her with his own leg. Instead of closing, her legs spread even wider under his strength, making her face flush and her heat rise.

And yet, it was only for a moment. Eventually, overwhelmed by the rising ecstasy, her body became even more drenched.

Would he fill me now? I anticipated that it would continue in the same order as yesterday.

But it was not the case.

“Because it would be unfair if only I touched you, I will give my bride the same opportunity to touch me.”

Wait, what are you doing now?

Without a word, he grabbed her hand and firmly guided it toward his own lower body.

Since last night was the first time she saw a man’s body, touching it was naturally also a first. Startled, Callie tried to withdraw her hand, but once again, Brandon did not let her.

“It’s alright.”

Brandon held her hand and moved it slowly up and down. His brows furrowed, and he swelled even more in her hand.

Seeing his face engulfed in pain-like pleasure beneath her hand, Callie experienced a sense of complete ownership over him.

I have the man with an infamous reputation in Irze and one Olivia still couldn’t give up on.

As she watched Brandon slowly come undone, Callie started moving her hand on her own. Faster and faster.

When he exhaled rough breaths, Callie felt the same thrilling sensation rushing through her. 

Before she could regain her senses from the torrential ecstasy, he took his place between her legs. And then, in no time, he filled her completely.

“Haa, haa.“

Ragged breaths escaped from both of their mouths simultaneously, filling the bedroom.

After climaxing once again, Callie lay next to Brandon, his arm wrapped around her. 

Still in bed at this time.

It was unimaginable back in Loris, moreover, without a single strand of clothing on. 

Since they hadn’t left the bedroom until this moment, everyone in the house must be aware that the two of them were together in bed.

Thinking about it embarrassed her, but it also gave her a sense of satisfaction, as if she had finally put Olivia, who had subtly mocked the fact that they didn’t sleep together, in her place. 

As Brandon caressed her bare shoulder over the blanket, Callie lifted her head from his embrace. 

“Let’s get up.”

“I think it’s okay to stay like this.”

“But we can’t just roll around in bed all day.”

“Why not…?”

Has Brandon, who has lived comfortably as the eldest son of a wealthy family, ever been unable to do what he wanted? 

Their lives were so different.

“Since Father isn’t here, I am the master. Even if the master stays in bed all day, no one will say anything, so don’t worry.”

“That’s what you think. Even if they don’t openly show it, I’m sure they’re secretly laughing inside.”

“Well, I can’t control what others think.” 

“So, let’s get out of the bedroom.”

However, it seemed that Brandon wouldn’t listen to Callie. So, at that moment, an excuse to take him out of the bedroom came to mind. 

“There are a lot of horses in the stable. Can you show them to me?”

He knew it was just an excuse to leave the bedroom, but Brandon willingly agreed to her request.

“Is this the horse I was riding on at the time?”

Callie, who went to the stable with Brandon, recognized Calix at a glance, who had put her in danger last time.

“That’s right, Calix. It is the one I cherish the most.”

“He looks handsome. He suits you well.” 

Brandon, who enjoyed hearing Callie’s praise, smirked and replied, “That sounds like a compliment to me too.” 

“I can’t deny that he’s impressive. However, his personality is different.”

“Well, once you get to know me, my personality is quite good.” 

“I’ll look forward to seeing that side of you in the future.” 

“It sounds like it’s not there yet.” 

He pretended to look overly disappointed.

“From now on, I’ll show my best side, at least in front of you. I think my personality is not that bad.”

It might have been said as a joke, but Callie could feel the sincerity in his expression. As if reading each other’s thoughts, they smiled softly at each other for a moment. Then, Brandon asked, “Would you like to give it a try?”

Recalling the difficulties she faced when riding Calix last time, Callie firmly shook her head. “No, I’ll pass on horseback riding from now on.”

“If it’s because you’re scared, you don’t have to worry. I’ll ride with you,” he responded.

Finishing his words, he mounted Calix. Then, he extended his hand to Callie. “Trust me and give it a try. I won’t put you in danger, even if there’s a chance I might get hurt.”

Looking at his outstretched hand, Callie hesitated for a moment but soon made up her mind. She placed her hand in his, and he pulled her up.

Due to the previous incident, Callie was afraid of riding horses, but with Brandon securely wrapping his arms around her waist, she didn’t feel scared. He felt dependable and trustworthy.

“Shall we go out, my lady?” he asked.

“Just don’t let me fall,” she replied.

“We’ll ride slowly, so don’t worry.”

Brandon reassured Callie once again before taking hold of the reins. Calix, carrying the couple, started to walk at a leisurely pace, unlike their previous experience.

As they passed through the garden and headed towards the lakeside, Brandon slightly increased the speed.

“Can we pick up the pace a bit?” he asked.

“Alright.”

“I won’t ride too fast, but if you still feel scared, let me know. I don’t want to rush you.”

“I’m not a scaredy-cat. I think we can go a bit faster.”

“You don’t need to act tough in front of me.”

“You said you won’t put me in danger, right?”

“Of course.”

“I believe in that. That you won’t drop me.”

“Yes.”

Brandon was pleased to hear Callie’s words of trust. It made him feel even better than hearing “I love you.” As he realized he was falling more and more for Callie, he gently pressed his lips against her neck as if sealing a stamp. 

Yes, trust me completely. I will never betray you.
