Episode 58. I’ll put you to bed later
“Yes, now do whatever you want.”
Christine threw his shirt on the sofa and smiled as if he wanted Adele to take care of it. His figure, completely revealing his sculpted upper body, was so tempting that it was impossible to take her eyes off him.
However, Adele frowned in surprise and approached him, but eventually got angry.
“I can’t live. Is this the time to play around like this? Hurry up and sit on the sofa!”
“Oh, I want to play around on the sofa today...”
Then, Christine met Adele’s cold eyes and grumbled and sank down on the purple velvet sofa.
Adele sat next to him with a medicine box.
“I really can’t live because of you. How can you play around like that when you’re so hurt?”
Christine’s left shoulder, which had been exposed by taking off his shirt, was roughly wrapped in a cloth. However, the cloth was soaked with blood, as if it had continued to bleed.
“I told you, it’s nothing.”
Christine licked his lips in regret.
As expected, they should have been having a passionate love affair in the bell tower by now.
However, he had been so absorbed in kissing her earlier that he had forgotten to hide his wound. He took off his cape, laid it on the floor, and was about to lay Adele on it when she saw the blood on his shoulder. Adele, who had not noticed his wound because it was covered by the cape, quickly became lost in thought.
Then she began to press him. How did it happen? How bad was it? Why didn’t you tell me? And so on....
The once passionate lover quickly became a guardian and kept nagging him.
In the end, she dragged him down the bell tower. No matter how much Christine said he was fine, it was no use.
When Adele arrived at the Marvel Palace, she asked Henry to call a doctor. Christine barely stopped her. He said that he would not receive treatment unless it was from her.
“Ugh, that hurts.”
Adele clicked her tongue as she carefully unwrapped the cloth covering his wound.
The cloth, soaked in blood, oozes blood every time she touches it.
“Did you really fall into Wolf Valley? I heard that if you fall there, no one will survive...”
Wolf Valley was quite a dangerous place with steep slopes and rough rocks. In addition, because of the rumor that wild beasts that were driven out of the palace forest lived there in groups, most people did not even bother to go near it.
“You were lucky.”
“Stone couldn’t have... done that, right?”
“Huh, Stone? It was because my horse suddenly stumbled.”
Christine answered as if it were nothing.
In fact, if Stone hadn’t suddenly turned into a wolf, he would never have been hit. He had been hit while he was absent-mindedly staring at his own clan that he had unexpectedly encountered.
Therefore, he couldn’t tell Adele the truth, who was already worried about Stone’s appearance.
“But your horse came back fine.”
“He regained his balance, but I let my guard down and fell. What a disloyal beast.”
“Really?”
Adele’s green eyes stared at him intently. As if she were trying to catch even the slightest lie.
“Then why would I lie?”
“You hid this injury.”
“It wasn’t a big deal...”
Adele looked at his wound carefully once more. Fortunately, the wound didn’t look that big compared to the blood soaking through his shoulder.
“Yes. But you should watch it for a few days, and if it doesn’t work, you should definitely get it treated by a doctor?”
Adele carefully applied medicine to his wound and wrapped it up tightly.
“It’ll probably get better in a few days.”
Christine, a member of the wolf clan, recovered much faster than an ordinary person.
In fact, at first, the wound was so big that the bone was exposed, but it was much better now.
“No matter what, it’s not a wound that will get better in a few days.”
Adele continued to look worried.
Just thinking about him falling down the cold valley and losing this much blood made her heart sink.
If something had gone wrong there...
It was so horrible to even think about that that she cried.
Christine, who was staring at Adele like that, smiled faintly.
“This reminds me of the old days. Remember when I fought with that lumberjack’s son and broke my arm?”
When Christine was little, he was always the butt of the boys’ teasing because he was pretty and small. Back then, he had fought with a big boy who ruled the neighborhood and showed up with a broken arm.
“I remember. Do you know how surprised I was?”
“What are you talking about? I was more surprised. You ran to the lumberjack with a pickaxe to fight that guy. You were about to take on a guy twice your size.”
Adele chuckled as she remembered.
“That’s right. But when I went to see him, his condition was even worse. The lumberjack wouldn’t leave you alone, so I had to sweat to stop him.”
“That’s right. I said that.”
The two of them laughed softly, as if they had briefly returned to their childhood.
Then suddenly Christine asked,
“Did you really intend to fight him back then?”
Adele answered without hesitation.
“I would have. Because I lost my mind when I saw you like that.”
Christine’s blue-gray eyes, looking at Adele, became deep and calm. The feeling he had felt for the first time then came back to him.
There was someone on his side in this world.
That made him feel so secure and full.
He should be that kind of person, too.
“Don’t do that again, Adele.”
“You can’t pretend not to know if I’m being treated by someone.”
“It’s not like me.”
“It’s no different. Just as much as I’m precious to you, no, even more, you’re precious to me and... I like you.”
Christine swept his bangs back, frowning, and cupped Adele’s cheek as he sat next to her. His expression became strange as he watched her mysterious green eyes shake slightly.
“How can I hold back when you confess so passionately?”
“Why are you talking about that again?”
Adele, flustered, tried to gently push his hand away, but he said,
“You seduced me first.”
Instead, he lowered his head and brought their faces closer together.
“When did I...”
Adele leaned back and tried to distance herself from him.
“I said I liked you.”
However, Christine’s upper body leaned forward more, and he became closer again.
“How is that seduction?”
Adele complained as if she had been wronged, but he was shameless.
“I was seduced. My heart was beating wildly, and my blood was boiling.”
“Idiot. How can you say that when you’re so hurt?”
He placed both hands on the back of the sofa and the floor, and their faces came closer as if they were going to kiss at any moment.
“My arm is hurt, but everything else is fine.”
“This beast...”
“How am I supposed to take it when you blush like that and say that?”
Every time he spoke, his hot breath tickled Adele’s face.
“Who would blush... Because of the heat from the fireplace...”
Adele gradually leaned back, and eventually, her head touched the armrest of the sofa, and she naturally lay down.
“Ah...!”
He smiled mischievously as he watched her bite her lip in embarrassment. Then, he wrapped Adele’s hand around his and placed it on his left chest.
“Can you feel it?”
She could feel his heartbeat thumping beneath the firm skin touching her palm.
Adele’s face heated up.
Embarrassment and a strange sense of anticipation...
“Ugh...”
As if that were permission, Christine’s lips came down.
Adele, who was helplessly caught up in his pace, pushed his chest away and resisted. However, her reason soon melted away at the sweet breath, and her heated body slowly lost its strength.
Christine’s quick-witted movements became more secretive. He naturally placed his strong knees on both sides of Adele’s waist, trapping her in place, and then he gently lowered his lips from her white, exposed nape to her shoulders and collarbone.
His large hands slowly moved up her legs, pulling at the hem of her dress.
“Chris... you, shoulders....”
“Shh! The pain will come later.”
His lips and hands persistently and relentlessly tasted and caressed Adele’s body.
“It’s really hot...”
With her eyes flushed with heat, Adele sniffed softly and hugged his nape, and this time she found his lips first and kissed him.
Their hot breaths tangled and their breathings mixed, and Adele’s face flushed red. Her once refreshing green eyes gradually became hazy and wild.
Christine, unable to bear it any longer, roughly took off her dress.
***
Adele collapsed onto the bed.
The sharp pain and languor surged over her, and she couldn’t move.
Meanwhile, Christine’s large hands caressed her body, which was soaked with sweat.
Her eyelids closed smoothly because the feeling felt good.
“Ye. I’ll put you to sleep.”
His voice in the dim darkness was pleasant to hear.
And his affectionate hands patting her back as if putting a child to sleep.
Adele smiled with a face that seemed to be falling asleep.
“You’re going to sleep while drooling like that?”
“You saw it?”
Was it true, or was it just a joke?
In fact, all the candles around the bed were turned off, so Adele couldn’t see anything.
Whenever Christine made love, he always turned off all the lights around her. It seemed like he was being considerate, so Adele wouldn’t feel embarrassed, but she also felt a little sorry. She was curious about his appearance and expression when they made love.
“...Do I have to see it to know?”
“Then you know what my expression is now?”
His voice was strangely sticky, so Adele felt nervous for no reason.
“No, I don’t know anymore.”
A soft, gentle laugh could be heard from above.
Chook.
He kissed Adele’s back. To be exact, the spot where he had his name tattooed. Even while they were making love, Christine had continued to caress and kiss that spot. As if he were worried that she might be in pain.
When she was getting the tattoo, he had watched from the side, making a face and shaking his fist as if he were in more pain.
“Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Thank goodness.”
Adele turned around and lay down facing Christine.
“Chris. I really like this tattoo. It’s your name. You owe me.”
Adele was satisfied that Stone’s initials were completely erased from his name. So she forgot about the pain of that day.
It was dark, so she couldn’t see his face, but Adele seemed to know what kind of expression he was making. How deeply his blue eyes were looking at her.
“Should I get it here too? Your name. Then I’ll have you too.”
He smiled as he grabbed Adele’s hand and made her touch his firm left chest. The place where his heart, which beat wildly and vigorously whenever they made love, was located.
“It’s okay. Even without that, I’m yours.”
Adele gently glared at him as she caressed his sweaty chest and the back of his neck.
She didn’t know how seductive she was, saying that in a slightly disheveled and slightly defenseless manner.
“This won’t work, Adele.”
“What the...”
Adele gulped nervously. Because she already had a feeling of what he was going to say.
“I’ll put you to sleep in a bit.”
Adel moaned involuntarily as the sticky whisper tickled her ear.
