Chapter 85 🔞
He imagined it.
In a few months, that slender belly would swell considerably, undoubtedly causing her all sorts of discomfort.
Perhaps those soft, full brxxsts would begin preparing even before the child was born, overflowing with milk in anticipation.
As a vivid reality entirely unlike the nightmare in which he had lost her, Marie had chosen to remain by his side.
“…You don’t look very happy.”
Even though it was Russell who had imprinted on her, there were times when she would see straight through his expressionless face and read what he was feeling.
“Russell?”
His shy lover still found it difficult to call him by name. Yet whenever she did, even the smallest knot forming in his heart would vanish like sugar dissolving in water.
Russell clasped Marie’s hand tightly and let out a soft chuckle.
“Not unhappy at all.”
“Wait. Why does it feel like it’s getting bigger again—”
“It’s your fault. You tighten every time you speak.”
“W-What did you say?”
The way her eyes trembled as she looked at the Alpha, heat already spreading through him, was utterly adorable.
Rather than giving in to the urge to spread her open once more and take her again, he decided to claim her flushed lips instead.
“So, just a little more.”
“Russell, wait—”
“I’ll only move enough that it won’t be too much.”
“Ah! There’s no such thing, Russell! Mmph!”
Yes, just like that.
Keep calling my name.
Keep staying by my side.
In that brief moment, he swallowed her sweet saliva and leisurely explored the warmth of her mouth.
“Mmph… mm!”
After tracing the line of her sensitive teeth and gently nibbling on her full lower lip—teasing her until he was satisfied—he finally pulled away.
The silvery strand connecting their lips snapped between their ragged breaths.
She glared at him as if she had been wronged, but even that pleased him.
“I love every moment I spend with you.”
“…”
“Because I love you.”
He knew what he was supposed to say at times like this.
Now, he understood it well.
He had to put these overflowing feelings into words.
Because he could read the faint traces of anxiety lingering within Marie through the pounding of her racing heart.
“I love you, Marie.”
“…”
“I love you.”
Marie’s expression crumbled.
As though those words alone were enough.
As though she could forgive him for anything.
“…Th-That’s why…”
“Marie?”
Marie, despite the fact that they had shared countless intimate moments together, still found it difficult to honestly express her feelings.
Unable to hold his gaze for long, she turned her face away, revealing ears that had turned a brilliant red.
The endearing sight made his heart pound painfully.
Yes. He loved this woman. Desperately.
Enough that he could truly abandon everything for her.
Enough that he could no longer hide awkward words he had never spoken in his life, or the gentle smiles that came so naturally now.
Enough that he could not help but wonder what state of mind he had been in only a few months ago to say such cruel things to her.
I love her.
“…What is this? Saying things like that first thing in the morning.”
“Because I want to.”
“It’s only been a short time, but… Your Highness, you’ve changed a lot. You know that, don’t you?”
“I’m trying to become a better man.”
The present they had won through tears and apologies shone brightly.
“I’ve realized it. That I need to be honest.”
“Mmm…”
Seeing the startled expression frozen on her face, he captured her lips once more. Parting her warm, damp lips, he traced and tasted her sweet mouth.
Marie. Marie.
As he persistently licked and coaxed her, courting her with every movement, Marie slowly began to respond in kind.
“Mmh… Russell, ahh… I like it.”
Her sweet breaths, the faint scent of pheromones drifting softly through the air. Grasping her soft, full brxxsts, he covered his lover from head to toe with his scent.
It was a pheromone imbued with intense possessiveness, obsession, and the instinct to protect.
At last, she surrendered.
Feeling that relentless gaze fixed upon her, she whispered softly.
“Russell.”
“Hm?”
“J-Just this once. Only once.”
“…”
How was he supposed to resist that?
He felt the last thread of his reason snap.
“That much should be all right—mmph!”
“Sometimes…”
So much so that he immediately guided his rapidly hardening arousal back into her, parting her softened entrance and filling her in one swift motion.
“Ahh!”
“At this point, I have to wonder if you’re doing this on purpose.”
“…!”
The pale body beneath him flushed a deep red.
Like the ripest, most delicious fruit.
“Ah, y-you can’t just put it in right away—ahh!”
“I’ll try. Though I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop after just once.”
“Ah, mm, ngh, ah!”
It was a morning devoted solely to Marie Alphrose, his one and only beloved.
