The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
He took Blair out to the balcony. Blair, following with small steps, muttered to herself.
“What if that person earlier got badly hurt……”
That voice stopped Herdin in his tracks. Even in this situation, her attitude of worrying about Wesley’s condition made anger surge within him.
“Are you worrying about that bastard right now? What the hell did that jerk say to you.”
“But today is Mother’s birthday banquet.”
This time, worrying about Katrina. Her own safety was not even on her mind.
Just as Herdin was about to say something, another oblivious hiccup burst from Blair’s mouth.
Hic. Hic. Hic……
The hiccups showed no sign of stopping and continued. Even when Blair closed her mouth, the sound leaked out.
Come to think of it, every time she breathed, the smell of alcohol wafted over. Herdin’s brows furrowed.
“……Are you drunk?”
“I’m not drunk.”
The answer came back immediately. But now that he looked, her pronunciation was strangely awkward too.
Herdin held up two fingers and asked.
“How many do you see?”
At that, Blair pouted her lips.
“……You said you wouldn’t doubt me.”
It was an uncharacteristic appearance that was cute, but Herdin did not back down. No, that made him more persistent.
“So how many does it look like?”
“Stay still for a second.”
Blair, who had been staggering slightly, suddenly grabbed his stationary hand with both of hers. Herdin flinched at that, but Blair seemed unaware as she fiddled with his fingers.
The small hand squirming and touching his fingers was ticklish, but the feeling wasn’t bad.
Blair, who had been concentrating with her beautiful brows furrowed just to count two fingers, finally gave her answer.
“It’s two.”
It was as if to say, do you think I wouldn’t even know this much.
Herdin, still with his two fingers held by her, burst into laughter. The dirty mood from earlier when Wesley had slammed to the floor was long forgotten.
The drunk wife tilted her head with a rather serious face, as if she didn’t know why he was laughing. Even in the midst of that, the hiccups hadn’t stopped.
As the hiccups started again, Blair frowned deeply in frustration and thumped her upper chest.
Herdin, looking at her with eyes full of amusement, asked.
“Shall I stop them for you.”
Blair blinked her puzzled eyes and looked up at him. His face closing in was a matter of an instant.
Smack.
Something hot and soft touched her lips and pulled away. Blair’s eyes, not grasping the situation, blinked slowly.
Herdin chuckled at her who had turned into surprised rabbit eyes.
“Now they’ve stopped, the hiccups.”
His languid low voice resonated in Blair’s heart a beat late.
Blair, hearing her own heart pounding noisily in her ears, looked up at Herdin with confused eyes. She couldn’t understand why this man was acting this way toward her.
You don’t like me. That’s how it should be.
She hated how he dug into her gaps like this and shook her. She didn’t want to be shaken. Her heart pounding against her will was painful.
Blair came to her own conclusion about the meaning of his action.
“Do you want to do it with me?”
This man, even if he didn’t know anything else, quite liked my body.
Yes, it must be that. It had to be simply that.
Of course, if she were sober, it was something she would never have said out loud.
Hearing those words, the smile vanished from Herdin’s face. His eyes were cold, like something she had seen before.
Herdin let out a sneer.
His wife had been treating him like a beast mad with lust since last time. But it wasn’t entirely wrong. His mind was full of vulgar imaginations surrounding her.
“……What if I say yes?”
“We agreed to consummate twice a month. There’s still one left, so if you want, anytime……”
In other words, if you want, I’ll gladly offer my body. Words that included none of her own feelings or intentions.
Her attitude scratched at Herdin’s nerves. But ironically, as soon as Blair’s permission fell, his desire boiled with anticipation. Separate from the dirty feeling of being plunged into a mire in an instant.
Was there any reason to refuse a woman who would embrace him.
He desired her, she was superficially his wife anyway, and she said she wouldn’t refuse and would accept him.
His desire wouldn’t be a problem. Nothing.
Herdin took Blair into a nearby room. Blair staggered and was limply dragged along.
Herdin closed the door and trapped Blair between the door and his body. He kissed the slender wrist he had been holding and asked.
“Is here okay?”
As his speaking lips moved, Blair’s body trembled with a start. He could see her heaving chest rising and falling with rapid breaths. Even that sight was beautiful.
Blair, who had been blinking blankly, slowly nodded, and as soon as permission fell, large hands caressed up her waist.
At the same time, his lips lingered on Blair’s wrist and palm. The slender fingers that had fearlessly groped and stimulated him earlier too.
Even in the midst of that, his eyes didn’t leave her. As if to engrave every small reaction of hers into his pupils.
“Ah……”
Blair involuntarily twisted her body at the feeling of hot and moist flesh brushing her wrist and palm.
It was just kissing her palm and wrist, yet her stomach tingled. Perhaps it was because of his gaze that never left her. Her breathing quickened even though he hadn’t stolen her breath.
As Blair, not knowing what to do, grabbed his arm with her free hand, Herdin then released her hand and pulled her waist close to embrace her. And he buried his lips in her pure white nape.
Being pressed against him, heat was felt from the touching bodies. At that, Blair’s nerves reflexively tensed sharply.
Blair twisted her body to escape, but he instead put strength into his embracing arms to press her closer. The more she squirmed, the more clearly he was felt.
“Herdin……”
It was a call whose meaning was unclear—whether to stop or to do more.
Herdin interpreted the call as he pleased. Since she called with such a desperate voice, it must be inciting him.
Herdin, who had been gently biting and tormenting the tender flesh between Blair’s nape and collarbone, swallowed her lips that had called his name.
As his hands groped down her waist, Blair twisted her body and let out moans. Strength entered Blair’s hands gripping his arms.
Every time her groaning moans rang in his ears, the sensations from their first night came to mind. He felt like he would go mad with the urge to embrace her right now.
He who had been repeatedly sucking and releasing her small lips stopped when he slightly parted her lower lip and entered inside.
Sweet wine scent flowed through the unresisting gap between her teeth. In that moment, the dirty feeling he had suppressed ahead of desire raised its head.
Would this woman even remember what she said and did now.
His head cooled as if doused with cold water. Separate from the desire to lay her down right away and satisfy his greed.
When he suddenly pulled his lips away, Blair opened her eyes.
“……Herdin?”
His figure was reflected in her hazy purple eyes from the alcohol. Just looking at those eyes made him dizzy as if he would get drunk.
Herdin released the strength from the arms wrapped around Blair’s waist. And as if avoiding her eyes, he covered his own eyes with his hand. A painful sigh leaked through his lips covered by the large hand.
After catching his breath and suppressing his desire for a moment, he looked at Blair and said.
“Come to think of it, this seems a bit unfair.”
“Unfair……?”
Even in this moment, Blair, not yet sober, moved her small lips and parroted his words like a parrot.
That appearance was absurdly cute…… and the way her reddish lips glistening with his saliva moved was erotic. Damn it.
Herdin gritted his teeth and said in a low, gravelly voice.
“When you sober up, you’ll forget everything that happened today.”
I want you to remember everything.
Sober, remembering everything, he wanted the sensations he gave her engraved in her mind.
So that even a brush of fingertips would make her think of him unavoidably. So that she would react to him instinctively.
Blair, who had been blinking slowly and looking at him, slyly approached and buried her head in his chest, mumbling.
“Herdin, I’m sleepy……”
It seemed she hadn’t even listened to his words. No, it might be more accurate to say she was in a state where she couldn’t hear.
Herdin let out a ridiculous sneer but embraced and supported her small body leaning on him.
He let out a tormented sigh and whispered in Blair’s ear.
“……Be prepared when you wake up.”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
