Anna, my sole recent relationship advice companion, clenched her fists and cheered for me.

If Anna, who is a kind person, wasn’t my exclusive maid, I wouldn’t have anyone to confide in. I nodded my head with deep gratitude.

“Okay, let’s go…!”

{Fighting~.}

{Are you really trying to make a baby tonight??}

{Already the fourth failure lol.}

{At this rate, she might become a Gloria nun.}

…I sent these words into the air, not knowing if the butterflies were mocking or cheering.
Rolling my eyes, I sighed and swept away the characters with my hands, urging my steps. Since it would be troublesome if Gréan pretended to sleep again like yesterday, I needed to hurry.

Bang! Making intentionally loud noise, I opened the door. Gréan, who was sitting by the window reading a book, was startled and looked at me.

After separating from him, I glanced at the fireplace. Sure enough, the fire was blazing. The room was so warm that it was almost too hot.

Gréan, who doesn’t feel cold, puts firewood for me every night, who comes in. Rather than being kind, he always makes people’s hearts burn with kindness.

“Madam… You’ve come early today.”

Putting down the book, Gréan stood up from his seat, glancing at me. He approached me but stopped, looked at me closely, and his face blushed.

“Oh, I see.”

It was undeniable that my beauty, honed for tonight, had an effect! Confident, I quickly but gracefully approached him, like a swan swimming smoothly. Gréan tried to avoid my gaze, but I persistently followed his eyes.

“Come here, Gréan.”

Grabbing his hand, I led him to the bed. Every journey begins with a single step. I sat him at the edge of the bed and calmly tried to undress him.

“Ma… Madam…”

However, before unbuttoning his shirt, Gréan grabbed my wrist and resisted. His face turned red with embarrassment.

Glaring at him, I raised my tail as if scolding him.

“Oh, are you going to reject me again?”

“But, Madam, your body is too delicate and fragile…”

Gréan, who bowed deeply, blushed, stammering.

“If I touch you, it feels like you’ll break.”

I pounced on him, laying him down firmly.

“Then shall we test it? Whether it breaks or not.”

Then, with quick skill, I swiftly took off his shirt. At that moment, Gréan crossed his arms, covering his chest, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his embarrassed face.

“What are you doing? We’ve already seen everything, us.”

“But… Madam…”

“Can’t move your arms?!”

Since I couldn’t detach his arms with my strength, I approached the conquest in a different way.

Namely, I decided to tickle him.

“Madam…!”

As my fingers dug into his side, Gréan jumped in surprise and crouched, but I continued to tickle him without hesitation.

“Madam, please stop…”

Weak laughter flowed successively from Gréan’s mouth. Although he seemed to resist with all his might, he eventually surrendered and collapsed on the bed like a thin cheese.

“Ah, ah… Heuk…”
Laughing or moaning intermittently, Gréan breathed heavily. Feeling proud of my successful(?) conquest, I extended my hand again to move on to the next step.

But at that moment, Gréan, who suddenly stood up, swiftly pushed me down.

“……!”

The situation reversed in an instant. Gréan, with a painful expression, looked down at me. Despite seeming to exert all his strength to restrain himself, his silver-gray eyes were engulfed in instinctive impulses, far from rationality.

“…….”

At that moment, I could clearly understand. He, too… desires me.

But why?

Why is he suppressing his desire with almost fatal patience?

He could desire me as much as he wanted.

“Gréan…”

It was a moment when I slightly touched his cheek, calling him with a passionate voice.

“Ah…!”

He grabbed both my wrists tightly, tore his shirt into shreds, and bound my wrists with the torn fabric.

“……?!”

He tied my wrists.

…Momentarily dazed, I blinked my eyes and slowly opened my mouth.

“Oh, was that your taste…?”

“No…!”

Gréan vehemently denied, jumping up. I raised my eyebrows, recalling the saying ‘strong denial is a strong affirmation.’

If his taste was dangerous and he had been restraining it until now, it made sense. Perhaps he was worried about hurting me…

“If I don’t do this, you’ll keep stimulating me… Please, madam, stay still. …I’ve reached my limit.”

Hmm, it doesn’t seem like a dangerous taste. My slightly delighted feeling of having discovered(?) his dark secret subsided a bit. Or maybe it wasn’t like that… but I’ve been curious for a long time.

Well, it’s understandable; he is definitely hiding something from me.

‘If I ask… will he tell me?’

To be honest, if he continues to hide it, I might be a little disappointed. After all, he said we are lifelong companions. Then, he should tell me what his secret is.

‘…Am I being too selfish, seeking answers in a situation where I have secrets too?’

But it should be okay to ask what he can reveal. We are a couple, and not just any couple, but a bond sealed by an absolute imprint.

Taking a moment to catch my breath, I gazed deep into his eyes and slowly opened my mouth.

“Gréan, you said that to me before.”

“…….?”

“Thanks for liking someone like me… What did that mean?”
