Chapter 23
“Then, may we start the lesson, Your Grace? What would you like me to teach you? Will you tell me?”
Julia asked, almost as if she were pleading.
The Duke’s lower abdomen burned hot once again. He put strength into his thighs and let out a light sigh. He consciously pulled up the corners of his mouth and formed an artificial smile.
Julia failed to notice the sense of discord at all.
“Very well.”
Duke Drexton extended his hand toward Julia with gentlemanly gentleness. Perhaps thinking it was an escort, she naturally placed her hand atop his. His original intention had been her waist, but the act of her taking his hand gave him a rather pleasant feeling as well. So Duke Drexton remained silent and savored the warmth conveyed through her fingertips.
“Today, I’d like to learn about taboos.”
Not fully understanding what he meant, Julia gazed blankly at Duke Drexton. Despite his sharp-featured appearance, he smiled softly and kindly.
“Bad examples for a chaste bride and groom.”
Just like Julia, whose reason had been slightly dulled by fever, Duke Drexton revealed his greed.
“I want to know the things that an exemplary bride and groom would never do.”
After keeping his mouth shut for a moment, he added one condition along with a friendly smile.
“Through practice.”
Julia’s eyes wavered greatly. Even though she had lost her usual judgment, she clearly thought Duke Drexton’s proposal was somewhat excessive.
Julia’s lips parted. Before words of refusal could come from those pretty lips, Duke Drexton swiftly cut in.
“We’re not doing this for pleasure.”
His lie was unflinching.
“It’s purely for learning. Isn’t that right?”
Now, Julia had no grounds left to refuse.

To teach taboos, one must know taboos.
In that respect, Julia was not an excellent teacher. Up until now, she had only ever engaged in tedious, textbook-like acts with a single partner.
Julia’s already muddled mind grew even stranger.
‘I don’t really know much about things like that…’
But this wasn’t a situation where she could be honest about her ignorance. She couldn’t reveal herself to be an inadequate tutor any further. Julia had already overslept today and arrived late to the lesson, and even if she had ten mouths, she had nothing to say in her defense.
“Yes, of course. I’ll teach you well.”
The face of Julia, who was bluffing, was pale. Meanwhile, Duke Drexton mistook that expression as fear of what was about to happen.
Is it really that unpleasant?
Having made an unreasonable request, his mood soured slightly.
Of course, Duke Drexton was not the sort of person to openly display his emotions. Especially not in front of Julia. However, with her senses sharpened beyond usual, Julia felt a chill settle around him.
Thinking she should start the lesson quickly, she hurried.
“We’ve delayed too much. Let’s begin right away.”
Still feverish and breathing shallowly, Julia declared this. Duke Drexton’s fingertips twitched.
Even so, despite the lesson beginning, he did not flip the hourglass.
Julia, for her part, was so lost in thinking about what she should teach that she failed to notice the hourglass. She thought desperately. Filthy acts that a chaste bride and groom would never do.
She tried to recall sordid gossip she normally paid no mind to. Even the contents of the vulgar novels the maids read.
Ah, that’s it.
She knew what she should teach.
“Then…”
Julia knelt down between Duke Drexton’s legs.
In the two previous ‘lessons’, Julia had always let Duke Drexton undress her. But today, the order was slightly different.
Julia touched his clothes first.
She undid the buttons of the Duke’s trousers. When Julia’s hand brushed his g***n, Duke Drexton’s face stiffened. He could no longer maintain a composed expression.
Already half-e***t, his member hardened fully the moment her hand slipped in.
“This is an act that must absolutely never be done. I shall demonstrate.”
Julia whispered.
She then took his thing out from inside his undergarments. His shaft was pressed tightly up against his abdomen. Over it, Julia’s hot breath rushed out in a short gust.
Ah, this is…
Duke Drexton ran one hand down his face.
The stimulation was intense.
