Learning the Ways of the Night from the Wolf - Chapter 24

Her wriggling was promptly restrained. Instead, the man pulled her fleeing hands close and pressed them firmly together, then slid one hand behind her waist to draw her upper body closer to his savage hips. The position, which was made solely for the ease of thrusting, was obscene.

“Mmh, hh— ah!”

The next moment, the man began to piston into her ferociously. He pulled almost entirely free, only to plunge into her scalding depths in one stroke, without giving her even a breath.

He ground his base deep inside her, hard and fast, as if carving his mark into her innermost place.

“Aahh— th-this feels… strange.”

Every cell in her body felt like it was going wild from the stimulation. Tina’s vision shook. She wanted to flee, afraid she would shatter and yet, at the same time, the contradictory wish to reach the very end flooded her mind.

“It’ll feel even better soon.”

The man had drawn close to her ear without her noticing, running his tongue slowly up the shell of it as he spoke. That melting, humid heat made Tina unconsciously clench harder around where she was greedily swallowing him below and as if he’d felt it, a scalding sigh escaped his lips.

“What a little vixen…”

He chided. Yet, judging by the way his hips only grew fiercer, he had no intention of hiding his satisfaction.

“Mmnh!”

Apparently unsatisfied with the position, the man scooped his arms under Tina’s back and lifted her onto his lap. For Tina, already sensitized to the point of burning, even that small shift was an immense stimulus. Babbling moans spilled recklessly from her lips.

“Ah, mmh, haah—”

Helplessly lifted, Tina buried her face in the man’s shoulder and rocked frantically up and down. She was approaching something. Though Tina didn’t realize it, she was already rolling her hips in rhythm with his upward thrusts. Her hips rose and fell without a moment’s pause.

“I… I feel… s-strange.”

“You feel good. So good it’s driving you mad.”

Now even the man seemed to have lost his composure. The sly smile vanished from his lips, replaced by a gaze glistening with naked desire that roamed hungrily over every part of Tina’s body. The way he looked at her was already that of a beast.

“Mmh!”

In an instant, something massive drove savagely deep, as if it would reach her very end. With her deepest place invaded, Tina’s body contracted as a natural consequence, wringing tight around what filled her.

“Ngh!”

As Tina’s body clenched violently, the man locked eyes with her. She felt as if she might be pulled into those red irises. This moment could have been eternity. The sensations flooding her to the crown of her head about to burst all at once. It was like being dragged to the absolute limit, until even her breath ceased.

“Hah, hkh.”

Tina reached her peak in a disorderly rush. She felt something hot pour inside her, but in the midst of this utterly foreign first experience, all she could manage was to gasp for air.

“Hah… hah…”

Tina leaned her upper body against the man’s broad shoulders, quietly steadying her labored breathing. Her subsiding breaths soaked into his shoulders, and those wide, solid shoulders bore her trembling in silence.

The only odd thing was that even after the intense lovemaking, the two of them remained joined.

The man showed no intention of withdrawing from inside her, and Tina didn’t know what one was supposed to do afterward.

“Mm…”

So, drawn by mere curiosity, Tina pulled her hips back to meet the man’s gaze. Even that small movement was stimulation enough for a childlike whimper to slip from her lips.

“Your eyes… they’re like cornelian cherries. ^[1]“

Tina gazed deep into the man’s red eyes for a long time, then spoke shyly through still-unsteady breaths.

“Like one left bright red in a field of snow. So vivid all alone against the white… It’s beautiful.”

She dipped her head briefly in embarrassment, then met his eyes again. The warmth flowing between their joined bodies, the heartbeat pulsing through the hand she’d placed on his chest. All of it felt good.

“This is your fault, as always.”

“Hm?”

The man, having said something cryptic, suddenly tightened his grip on her hips. Then, guided by those broad, firm hands, his lower half began to move again in a slow rhythm.

“Mmh, why are you… why again, all of a sudden—”

Tina could distinctly feel what was inside her swelling once more. There was no way she could miss the sensation as it dragged against every fold of her already thoroughly slickened depths.

“Mmh!”

From beneath the cliff, the creaking sounds and high-pitched cries rose once more.

Not even a trace of cold could be felt any longer. It was warm — or rather, scorching.

“Your eyes… they’re like cornelian cherries” – 산수유 (sansuyu) is the cornelian cherry (Cornus officinalis), a tree that produces small, bright red berries. In Korea, it is closely associated with late winter and early spring, as its vivid red fruit often persists against the snow.
