As Elise reminisced, she felt soft bedding against her back. She was on the bed now.
“Don’t regret it, it’s too late.”
A decision she made the moment she resolved to meet Karan, with no desire to turn back or regret.
She felt oddly calm, yet her body heated up.
Instead of responding, Elise pulled his loosely opened shirt closer.
A longing gaze made her want to block his view.
Karan’s lips brushed hers fleetingly.
A tingling sensation rippled through her body.
He leaned closer, his breath warming Elise’s ear.
Titris men were said to have high body heat, and it was true.
His hot breath and body heat pushed Elise to her limit.
Elise rolled her eyes to observe his side profile – the prominent brow, high nose, full lips.
Karan lightly bit Elise’s lip.
The night colored with various hues began.
His warning of discomfort, perhaps, meant he wouldn’t let her rest easy.
Karan kept his word. That night, Elise learned pleasure and pain were intertwined.
The intense pleasure was at times pain, and the dizzying pain offered endless pleasure.
It was truly a night of indulgence.
The next day, Karan woke up feeling wonderfully content.
He felt like a lucky man.
Elise had long been the woman he harbored feelings for, but he had only watched her from afar, believing she was unattainable.
But to have her seek him out and embrace him was beyond his wildest dreams.
He felt as happy as if he’d been struck by lightning without any complaint.
However, Karan’s mood quickly plummeted.
The spot where Elise, who had enchanted him all night, should have been was emptily vacant.
Barefoot, Karan searched the Pig’s Tail Pub. Elise had vanished without a trace.
“What… Was it all just a dream?”
Returning to his room, Karan muttered in frustration, running his fingers through his hair.
It couldn’t have been a dream.
The sensation of her flesh clinging to his hand was still vivid.
Had he been too demanding until dawn, causing her to grow weary of him?
The cold bed chilled his heart.
“Your Highness, breakfast… What are you doing?”
Karan’s confidant, Hartvin, entered the room and stopped in surprise.
Seeing Karan pacing in just a robe was unusual.
“Elise is gone.”
“Elise? Who might Elise be? Not that Elise?”
Hartvin’s eyes widened in shock. Karan glared at him. Hartvin quickly bit his lip.
“Are you referring to Miss Elise Warton, Your Highness?”
“Yes, Elise was definitely here last night. But she disappeared without a word.”
Karan wondered if he was simply tired or if his obsession with Elise had driven him insane.
Hartvin, knowing Karan’s unrequited love, thought his guess was quite rational.
“Do you think I’m dreaming, you?”
“No. Of. Course. Not.”
Hartvin awkwardly denied, slapping his mouth again.
“It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. She definitely spent the night with me.”
Karan emphasized, as if to convince himself.
“Yes, of course. Night is for eating, not spending… Wait, you spent the night?”
One surprise after another. Hartvin seriously contemplated whether to request a mental evaluation for Karan.
Then, Hartvin noticed a neatly folded note on the bedside table.
“Your Highness, did you see this?”
Following Hartvin’s gaze, Karan swiftly grabbed the note.
It was a message left by Elise.
Indeed, the heated night had been real.
Now that it was in his hands, he wouldn’t let it go.
Even if last night turned into a regret for Elise.
Karan smiled deeply, bringing the note to his nose and inhaling deeply.
