Kael sighed and smiled.
âI heard that your mother grabbed the Void Esper by the neck and marked him in front of the buildingâŠâ he teased. Valencia blushed, hiding her smile. âHe could be your father, but my mother doesnât really know who your mother ended up with.â
âWhat do you mean? Who could she really end up being with?â Valencia wondered.
âEveryone said that she chose the Late Light Esper, but many others claimed that she chose the Void Esper.â
âWhy is that a debate to question?â she asked, furrowing her brows.
Kael took a deep breath.
âBecause⊠the people claimed to see your mother meeting the Light Esper more than she visited the Void Esper in public.â
Valencia clenched her fists. Was he trying to manipulate the people by using my mother?!
âOh⊠so thatâs why no one really knowsâŠâ
âI can tell you this⊠I think your mother chose the Void Esper,â Kael added. Valenciaâs heart stopped for a second. She looked at him. âI mean, who would want an obnoxious prince who felt entitled to everything as a partner?â
Her face turned red.
âWhat do you meanâŠ?â
Kael laughed awkwardly and locked eyes with her.
âI mean⊠I think your father was one of the greatest Void Espers. For him to kill the Demon King so that we can all live peacefully, I know⊠your father was the person that your mother chose.â
Valencia teared up from the kind word that she wouldnât expect from anyone. She looked down at her hands, holding in her cry. Kael gently grabbed her cheek and wiped her tears.
âIf so⊠that means everyone will find out who I am,â she said with anxiety.
Kael pulled her face closer and kissed her.
âIt wouldnât matter if they all find out⊠what matters now is that you chose to be my partner and you can get your land in the end,â he teased, his heart aching as the words came out.
She stared at him with a mixture of relief and regret. Am I falling more than I would expect? But⊠Iâm an Esper myself.
Kael smiled and locked lips with her, grabbing the back of her head. She closed her eyes, succumbing to the desire. He lifted her and walked to the bed. As her back landed on the mattress, she stared at him, holding her hands up as he undressed her.
âIâve never desired a lady this madly beforeâŠâ he whispered beneath her ear. She flushed, the heat sensation flaring from within. âI just canât stop thinking about you and everything that made me feel undone.â
He undressed her more hastily than ever, tracing her body. He leaned beside her ear and groaned.
âMy ladyâŠâ he muffled against the blanket, gulping. Valencia turned to him, blushing. âI think⊠I want to burn the contract.â
She closed her mouth, fear tightening around her chest.
âLordââ
âPlease donât reject me too soonâŠâ he interrupted. He pressed his hand against hers, fingers intertwining. He pushed himself up and stared into her eyes, his bitter smile fading. âIf you want⊠you can push me away right now. If notâŠâ
His voice lowered as his heavy breath lingered between them like an animal in heat.
âI donât know what Iâll doâŠâ
She stared at him, pausing. Then she chuckled, turning to her side.
âI thought you were going to say something cheesyââ
Kael smiled and grabbed her chin, kissing her. His tongue played with hers, his hand sliding to the back of her head. He pulled her closer, lifting her from the bed. Then he trailed his tongue down her neck to her breast, nibbling softly as he teased her.
Her soft moans erected his shaft as he pulled his pants down. He tossed it to the ground before spreading her legs and inserting one fingerâ
âHaahâŠâ she gasped, arching her back.
Each moment, he thrust, her voice rang in the air around them. Kael decided to change the momentum a bit, rubbing with his thumb on her bud of pleasure and adding another finger inside. He watched her succumb to the overwhelming simulation.
She peeked at him, reaching for his hand.
âKael⊠ngh⊠itâs happening again!â she gasped, her legs lifting as the strange pleasure surged through her once more.
He leaned against her ear, leaving his fingers still.
âItâs gripping my finger tightlyâŠâ he whispered. She panted and placed her hand on his cheek. He lifted her lower body up and turned her body to the side, pointing his shaft in between her legs as his fingers stretched her warmth apart. âWill it tighten around mine?â
âYouâŠâ she paused. Freaking bastard. It better not make my back ache again! The words couldnât come out.
He smirked, his shaft entering her. He kissed her ear, playfully kissing her earlobe. I want you⊠to want me.
He penetrated her, driving into a rhythm as her cries grew louder. She threw her hand in front of her, pushing herself up and turning her head around.
âKaelââ
He locked lips with her, continuing to thrust.
She closed her eyes, relaxing her head against his chest. I canât think⊠heâs going too rough right now. His⊠hard, scary thing is inside⊠warm.
He moved his lips onto her neck, biting softly.
âNgah!â she moaned, her walls tightening.
His face creased as he let out a soft groan.
âIâm⊠releasing!â he exclaimed.
âKael!â she screamed, clutching the blanket tightly.
The mixture of their pleasure filled her before dripping as he removed himself from between her legs.
