Citadel of Desire - Chapter 15

Chapter 15 – Hungry for Her (1)

Rei remembered that day vividly. When Clodan had peeled an apple for her, Mary and Philip’s jaw had dropped open at the sight. But Rei was too busy relishing the sweet fruit to notice anything. Later in the afternoon, as she was reading, Clodan had poured her tea and served her cake. Whenever she opened her mouth, he gently fed her the cake with a fork. All Rei needed to do was turn the pages of her book. To her, his actions were natural. But Mary didn’t seem to agree with her. Her response hinted at something else entirely.

“Are we talking about the same person?”

“Yes.”

Upon Rei’s confirmation, Mary had immediately let out a gasp and scrutinized Rei’s figure. Her attitude changed the moment she realized the truth.

“Dear God, he must find it insufferable to hide his true nature!”

“H-his true nature?”

But just as Mary was about to explain further, Philip, who up until then had been wiping the teacups, cut her off.

“Watch what you say.”

At that time, Philip had glared at Mary pointedly, almost as if he wanted to cut off that tongue of hers and so she’d stormed out of the room angrily. Rei had been so engrossed in her book that she forgot all about that conversation afterwards.

“Clodan! W-wait!”

Now she understood what Mary was talking about. Underneath that kind facade, Clodan had been hiding his wicked temperament this whole time.

Rei was flustered at the sudden development and pushed at his arms, but he paid her no heed. A calm smile took over his face as Rei blushed in embarrassment. This whole situation was too much!

“Clodan, p-please… Not there!”

Rei’s voice by an octave as Clodan caught her both her wrists with his hand and showered her face with kisses. She unconsciously shifted her head, exposing more of her neck. His eyes glinted with lust as he slowly trailed his tongue along the curve of her neck.

“It t-t-tickles!”

Clodan continued peppering kisses on her soft skin, ignoring her feeble protests. Suddenly, he tugged her nightgown open; his mouth descending on her pale, now flushed bright red, chest.

She closed her eyes at the strangely pleasurable sensation.Jolts of electricity ran through her body as he nipped at her tender skin, leaving behind stark, red marks. Just when she thought she couldn’t handle any more, Clodan gently raked his teeth on her rosy bud and traced its edge with his tongue. When he closed his mouth to suck on it, Rei almost stopped breathing.

“Rei.”

Clodan mumbled her name, his mouth still sucking her skin.

“Do you not like this?”

Rei could only let out a gasp in reply. Clodan was well aware of her incapability to lie caused by her upbringing. Deep inside, she longed for affection. If she found this distasteful, then she could curse at him and escape. But all Rei did was bite her lips in an attempt to suppress her moans.

“I think you do.”

Clodan backed away for a bit. He wanted to take a good look at her expression. But when he noticed her attempts to hide her want, he ended up feeling vexed. It was unfair. Clearly, both of them wanted each other desperately. He knew she felt the same way as him. Then why was he the only one having to express himself? In order to elicit an honest reaction from her, Clodan decided to step things up a notch.

“Clodan…”

His hand slowly travelled down from her chest; his nails gently scraped her waist before his hands finally settled on her hips, his finger placed right over her underwear. His mouth followed south, leisurely placing kisses down her sternum before moving down to her stomach. He let go of her wrists and used his now free hand to continue flicking the sensitive nub on her bosom.

Blood rushed to Rei’s ears, her breath now coming out in soft pants. The pleasure was overwhelming. She couldn’t take it, meekly pushing at his chest.

“Ah, you’re getting wet.”

“Please…don’t…don’t talk about such things!”

“Why? Are you still not feeling the pleasure?”

Her face burned as she shook her head in response. She stuttered as she begged him not to ask her such vulgar questions. Her flustered reply only served to provoke him even more. He ran his hands all over her smooth legs; he looked straight into Rei’s eyes before placing his head right between her legs.

“You’ll be begging me to speak to you like this all the time soon enough.”

He placed an open-mouthed kiss on her inner thigh, dangerously close to her core.

“I hope you know how hard I’m trying to be nice.”

For the first time that night, Rei noticed his eyes. His amber yellow eyes held a fierce, passionate glint, just like a beast in heat.

“Clodan, b-but…”

Rei could barely get the words out of her mouth.

“I don’t know…what to say in situations like these. I feel so em-embarrassed and my m-mind just goes blank.”

Just as she finished speaking, Clodan pressed his lips against her. The kiss was down-right sloppy as their tongues entangled in a desperate dance of pleasure and yet, she could sense his sincere feelings. Even when his instincts were threatening to overwhelm him, he was trying his best to be nice to her. Still, she didn’t understand how hard he’d tried to avoid this situation. But now that things had come to this, what else could he do?

There was a lovely woman in front of him and Clodan’s instincts told him to let go. And so he did.

Rei screamed as the bitter-sweet sensation of pain and pleasure rushed through her body. She knew resistance was futile. There was no way she could get out of this now. It was too late. She finally realized what Clodan had meant when he said he was ‘playing house.’

“No! Please!”

Her underwear dangled from her ankle precariously as Clodan sucked at her sensitive folds. She moaned with every swipe of his tongue; his nimble fingers teased the bundle of nerves ceaselessly, making her unable to hold back her voice.

Rei’s legs flailed about, unable to stay still due to his relentless attack. As the hot sparks of passion burst in every inch of her body, she clenched the sheets in desperation. Although she was begging him to stop, her body shuddered with delight instead. The soft sounds of sucking at her core only became louder as her reactions egged him on.
