“Shake me more, Rebecca.”

His voice was irresistibly seductive.

At that moment, the distance between the two of us felt as if our noses were about to touch.

I slowly scanned Cedric’s beautiful face.

The ocean-like blue eyes, captivating eyelashes, prominent nose, and… his sweet lips.

My gaze, entangled with the charmingly curved corners of his lips, didn’t realize it was about to fall there.

“Rebecca?”

It was around that time that I impulsively rushed toward Cedric’s lips.

An impulsive act as if trying to quench severe thirst.

However, Cedric waited, and, as if he were saying, “I’ve been waiting for this,” he moved with me.

For a while, finally, gasps burst out from the narrow gap where our lips met.

“Cedric…”

I gently stepped back and looked up at Cedric.

Moonlight seeping through the window crack.

It gently settled on Cedric’s face, drawing shades.

It was at that moment, when the beautiful scene made my eyes moist without my knowledge.

“…Rebecca.”

Cedric softly whispered while his hand enveloped my face.

“After tonight, you might be the only one who can save me or the one who ruins me completely.”

I felt Cedric’s gentle touch on my rounded shoulders.

“Still…”

When his deep voice resonated in my ears again, my heartbeat intensified uncontrollably.

Unbeknownst to myself, I also exhaled a deep breath.

“I will never regret this moment.”

With those words, he once again sealed my lips with his.

Gradually, beneath the moonlight, the movements of the two figures became more and more passionate.

It was the beginning of a long night.

Unified for a while, the time of the two flowed, and it finally came to an end around the time dawn began to break.

Rebecca closed her eyes while gasping for breath, and Cedric hastily caressed her face.

She seemed to have fallen asleep like someone fainting from exhaustion.

Cedric, looking at her lovingly, softly smiled in relief.

He gazed at Rebecca with affectionate eyes, and eventually, he gently kissed her cheek.

Rebecca, nestled in his arms.

Her face still flushed.

Cedric couldn’t tell whether it was due to the impression left before imprinting or not.

Before and even now… the thirst for her was relentless.

“Thirsty…”

As Rebecca, half-asleep, murmured, another smile spread on Cedric’s lips.

He brought water to her lips.

As he slowly fed her water, Rebecca, still half-asleep, leaned toward Cedric.

He made an awkward expression but smiled faintly.

Then, as Rebecca, seemingly unable to resist her charming self, kissed his cheek in succession.

The flawless appearance of the beautiful lovers, deeply in love.
Over their faces, the morning sunlight gently descended.

The strong sunlight pouring through the window crevices involuntarily made my face grimace.

Severe restraint and a headache as if my head were about to split.

Is there a more perfect combination for a hangover?

“Darn it, this is no ordinary hangover. It’s a remarkable one, meeting an extraordinary one after a long time.”

I could barely open my eyes, and when I checked the clock, it was already past noon.

Grabbing my throbbing head with both hands, I slowly sat up.

At that moment, along with the tingling pain in my back, a painful groan burst out involuntarily.

“Oh, my back. What on earth happened yesterday…?”

Seeing the stiffness even in my lower abdomen, was it time for the force of nature to come?

I muttered complaints and soon realized.

“Right, yesterday, I sat for hours and cleaned fish on a low stool.”

From there, memories of what happened yesterday started to flash like a lantern.

“After the village communal work ended, I went to the welcome party led by Jacqueline. I almost inhaled the honey beer, and then…”

From there, the memories began to fragment.

“I remember lamenting the situation with Jacqueline and other village women, but I can’t recall the details.”

“Yesterday, Cedric carried me here…?”

Suddenly, I felt like my entire body was drained of blood as I peered into the blanket.

“But why am I wearing different clothes?”

As far as I remember, the maids last night were as intoxicated as I was.

There was no way they would have followed me to this remote hut with the determination to change my clothes.

“Could it be… Cedric changed my clothes?!”

I jolted up from the bed as if electrified by the idea.

Simultaneously, an acute pain struck my head like a lightning bolt.

Among the hazy memories, Cedric’s face fleetingly passed through.

The serious expression calling my name, Rebecca. And…

“You will… ruin me…”

Ruin me? Me? What…?

I covered my mouth with both hands and blinked slowly.

At that moment, there was only one thought that intuitively came to mind.

“I messed up.”

It was certain that I made a tremendous mistake.

At this point, having gained Cedric’s favor to the extent that he was even indulging in unusual whims, causing something big enough to ‘ruin’ him?

“Crazy, I’m really insane!”

Continuously clutching my head with my fist, I sneakily turned my gaze outside the bedroom.

“Cedric…?”
