Kristin brought Adel, who was still in her arms, to the second-floor bedroom and had her sit in front of the sink.

“Wash your face to sober up a bit.”

“Heh, I’d like you to wash it for me.”

Adel raised her head with a silly smile. Her cheeks, tinged with a radiant blush, were so adorable that Kristin wanted to shake them. It was like the face of an innocent girl.

“You really make a fuss.”

While laughing in amazement, Kristin suddenly felt mischievous.

Splat.

As she poured water over Adel’s head from a bottle above,

“Oops, it’s cold!”

Adel shouted, shivering.

Seeing him resembling a mouse soaked in water, Kristin mischievously laughed as if she were up to something.

“How about now? Did the alcohol wake you up a bit?”

“I don’t know! Everything’s soaked! You’re so mean!”

Adel complained, shaking off the wet hair and clothes.

Kristin’s face, which had been playfully laughing, gradually stiffened as she watched Adel’s wet face and the rosy skin revealed between wet strands of hair. Somehow, an unexplainable thirst surged within her.

Gulp.

“I caught a bee while you were absent. Next time, it won’t end like this.”

Issuing a chilly warning, Kristin suddenly felt a strange delight as Adel giggled and squirmed. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered teasingly.

“What, are you jealous?”

“Nonsense.”

“I might get jealous. You having fun, getting drunk without me.”

Adel’s breath, mixed with the scent of alcohol, was sweet and warm.

Feeling the heat, Kristin’s emotions gradually heated up as well. She wanted to rush in and kiss him right away, so she quickly turned her head.

“It’s late. Let’s sleep.”

But Adel, on the contrary, drew closer and whispered.

“Promise me. You’ll never get drunk in front of other women.”

A possessive ultimatum.

“Now you’re jealous?”

“Ridiculous talk.”

“I might be jealous. When women see you, talk about you. Sometimes, I even feel a bit anxious.”

“What?”

As Kristin stared in disbelief, their lips almost touched.

“So, promise me. If you drink with other women, I won’t stay quiet!”

“Now I see, Adel, you’re a jealousy personified.”

“Exactly. In fact, when I heard rumors that you might marry the princess, do you know how jealous I was?”

“What is this…?”

Adel chuckled slyly and whispered secretly.

“So, it would have been nice to see the jealous expression on your face when Stone’s name was mentioned.”

“…!”

“It was thrilling. Watching Viscount Byss being jealous…”

Adel’s voice was sweet and dangerous, like a tempting devil.

Gulp.

Calming his rough breath, he swallowed the saliva pooling in his mouth.

The thread of reason was thinning like a strand.

Snap.

For a moment, Adel softly licked his lips and pulled away.

A tingling thrill ran from the back of his neck to his spine.

“Do you think I’ll let it go because you’re drunk?”

A final warning.

“Hmm, what if I don’t let it go…?”
Adel, adorned with a provocative smile, enticed him further.

Her dreamy green eyes seemed to extract the soul from a person.

For a moment, he had forgotten. How innocently charming that face usually was and how sensually it transformed on the bed. How it passionately yearned and drove people insane.

Now, rationality meant nothing…

Kristin, wrapping Adel’s hair around her fingers, sensually nibbled at his lips with a spiteful allure.

“Ah…!”

As the crimson lips gently parted, even the thin moans escaping were sweet.

She forcefully pushed in, hastily swallowing him. Their breaths intertwined, and the mingling warmth quickly evaporated any trace of reason.

The growing thirst surged like waves, and the itching sensation in her gums became maddening.

Pressing her tender lips even closer, Kristin skillfully embraced his slender waist.

Adel naturally hung onto her, using both arms and legs.

Laying her on the table in that position, hastily lifting her skirts,

“Too fast, Chris…!”

Adel mumbled with a dazed face.

Kristin, revealing her impatient intentions, put on a stern expression.

“I warned you. I won’t let you off just because you’re drunk!”

Rather than being frightened, Adel wrapped her arms around his neck, making him face her directly. With seductive green eyes sparkling, she whispered into his ear, her lips reddened by the recent encounter.

“Don’t interfere, Chris. Tonight, take what you want.”

“…!”

“It’s a special day. We got that Stone bastard.”

“But I can’t be relieved until that bastard’s breath is cut off.”

“I know. Still, for tonight, I want to enjoy the party without any worries.”

Adel kissed him, gently caressing his neck, and traced her fingers over his firm chest and stomach.

With each stroke of her smooth hands, Kristin’s entire body tingled uncontrollably.

‘How far is this woman going to push me?’

Until now, he had always been cautious, trying not to lose control when embracing her. He feared that he might lose his reason and harm her, or worse, reveal his wolfish side.

But the more he tried to be careful, the more Adel seemed to push him to the limits as if it were a test.
