The Male Lead Knelt Before Me - Chapter 99

Caleb, who was suddenly devouring my lips, showed neither restraint nor moderation.

So much so that I can’t image him as someone who has been so considerate and attentive to me.

When I opened my lips in surprise, his tongue penetrated without hesitation.

It was a desperate and passionate kiss.

My entire body stumbled at his impulsive deed of desperately burrowing into my lips.

Even when Caleb is firmly supporting the back of my head and waist.

My body eventually loosened as a result of the intense kiss.

My hand, which was holding the drug bottle and Caleb’s cravat, almost dropped, but Caleb took what I had in my hand.

I had no choice but to submit. Well, in fact I didn’t even know if I had the chance to resist him.

Because all of my nerves were focused on Caleb’s kiss on me.

“Ha, ngh.”

I was out of breath because Caleb kept digging his lips in.

And it was just my second kiss, so I had no idea what to do or how to express myself. Finally, I simply held my breath and gripped Caleb’s forearm tightly.

As my palm seized the hem of his crumpled shirt, I could feel his stiff muscle, which was more puffed than before.

The further Caleb’s kiss penetrated me, the more our bodies met and my mind blanked.

Caleb pulled off his lips by the time my healthy legs were shaking, making it difficult for me to stand properly.

And as soon as I managed to take a deep breath, Caleb hugged me.

I was surprised to find my body suddenly floating in the air, but I quickly became accustomed by placing my arms around Caleb’s neck.

Caleb’s bedroom door quickly opened and closed, and I could feel the gentle touch of the bed behind my back.

I laid on the bed, taking in as much breath as I could.

However, because of the intense kiss before, my heart kept pounding like crazy without rest.

One side of the bed was tilted, casting a gloomy shadow.

I soon felt a heavy weight in my body, and it was clear whose body it belonged to.

Caleb was gazing down at me as I glanced up.

“Ha… Cal, mmh……!”

His lips, which had fallen off for a short moment, plunged back into mine.

My voice, which was trying to call out his name, was swallowed.

“Ah, mmh…… ngh…”

Caleb’s gesture pushing in his lips was harsh.

As if he was trying to take every breath of me.

Regardless, it felt great since Caleb was the one who did it.

The heat crept throughout my body as he dug into my lips.

I didn’t even have any strength to give in, so my hands slowly loosened and fell weakly.

Caleb’s big calloused hand immediately became caught between my knuckles as soon as I laid my palm down on the bed.

Our fingers were entwined and pressed against the bed.

There was no time for me to regain my senses.

As Caleb’s lips sank in, the only thing I could do was let myself flow instinctively.

Caleb’s hand squeezed my hand every time I quivered.

The scorching warmth passed through the fingers, and the overwhelming desire entered the heart.

Caleb eventually removed his lips after a lengthy, deep, powerful kiss.

Haa… ha… unsteady breaths came out of my mouth.

Caleb nipped my earlobe as I sought to catch my breath.

“Nggh…”

I flinched and turned to face Caleb, but he lowered his head.

His wet-soggy lips ran from my ear to my neck line, leaving a thick trace.

And every time Caleb poured his hot breath out, the wet skin heated up.

The sensation caused all of my toes to curl up.

However, because it was triggered by Caleb, the sensation made me pleased.

And as I exhaled my last breath.

“Elena”

A scratchy, low voice resonated quietly in my ears, as if it had been scraped from underneath.

With hazy eyes, I gazed up at Caleb. Caleb’s face was flushed with excitement.

His calloused fingers ran over my ear, typical of a knight’s hand, which I didn’t notice when he let go of my hand.

“Are you sure you won’t come to regret this?”

“…… what?”

“Even if my hand falls like this on you.”

Caleb rubbed my ear softly with his palm. Then he stroked the back of my neck.

“Even if I do dare to covet you in this way.”

“……”

“Are you sure you’re fine with that?”

When I heard him saying it, I felt like I could speak what’s on my mind freely.

If I agree, I may just say yes. And if I don’t want to, I can just refuse him.

Even if I refused him now, he could just accept it willingly and step down. Because he is always like this.

‘But I don’t want that to happen.’

I raised my eyes to Caleb.

His usually tidy silver hair was all messed up from kissing me.

His face, which I could see from below, was burning, and his black eyes, which were looking down at me, were filled with passionate desire.

Even if he didn’t say it, I could understand. That he is desperately waiting for this day.

“If you wish to refuse now, I will gladly……”

I lifted my hand and wrapped it around Caleb’s cheek.

Caleb flinched and stopped speaking at the same time.

His cheeks, which I touched with the palm of my hand, were hotter than before.

“Didn’t I tell you this before, Caleb?”

“……”

“That I will always love whatever you do.”

My heart trembled like it was about to explode every time I said a word.

But even that sensation was pleasant.

Not only that, but everything that transpired at this time was pleasant and delightful.

I loved everything, including the warm air in the room, Caleb’s face looking down at me, and his scent, which caught the tip of my nose.

“So there’s no way I’m going to refuse.”

With my thumb, I softly stroked his red-hot eyes.

Caleb’s eyelids closed and opened slowly in response to my touch.

He opened his mouth and took a deep inhale.

“This is all my first time, so you may be disappointed by my lack of experience.”

“I won’t be disappointed.”

After all, this was also my first time.

“I may hurt you.”

“Even if you do that, I am fine with it.”

Because it is Caleb who does it.

Caleb tightened his teeth as I murmured.

The veins protruded from his thick neck.

“…… after this.”

Caleb murmured in my ear, his voice cracking.

“No matter how much you regret it, Elena, I will not let you go.”

“As you wish, Caleb.”

I smiled at Caleb.

This is the situation I expected to happen from the moment Caleb confessed his feelings to me.

Although I would be lying if I claimed I wasn’t afraid, I can assure that I will never regret this situation because I expected it from the start.

Caleb’s lips pressed urgently against my collarbone.

I hugged Caleb’s back with pleasure.

I sat in the garden in the early morning sun, flipping through the script.

Even though the weather was cold, it was acceptable since the sunshine was quite warm.

Unlike me, who believed it was tolerable, the maids were squirming around me.

Maybe it’s because I recently got over a cold.

“Don’t you need more blankets, my lady?”

“Ah, it’s okay. This is enough.”

“That’s not enough, my lady…… then should I reheat the milk again?”

“Don’t you think it’s a hasty thing to do?”

“It’s better than drinking it cold, my lady.”

I attempted to refuse, but when I saw the maid’s tearful expression, I ultimately nodded.

At the same time, the maid rushed into the mansion.

‘I feel a bit bad.’

I felt a bit bad when I watched the maid hurrying around.

If I contemplated their position, it was preferable for me to move inside my room or inside the mansion.

However, I was not in the mood to go inside. Because I haven’t gone out in a long time.

‘How many days have passed since I last came out?’

Maybe three days? Or four days?

In any case, it was obvious that a lengthy period had passed.

I recall the day my body ached.

The night before, I discovered a new sensation and had a real satisfying night with Caleb. And in the morning, with a little hoarse voice, I came to see him off.

However, rather than blaming him, I pretended to be sick by adding more symptoms to trick him.

Because it was cute to see him felt sorry for me whenever I pretended my body ached or when he glanced at the red marks engraved on my body.

Although it was me who seduced him first and accepted him blindly.

Obviously, it was like that at first……

The embarrassment of pretending to be sick turned into actual sickness.

Caleb continued to feel sorry for me with a more sinister look than he did in the morning as I lay groaning with muscle pain and cold.

I was going to call the priest, but in the end I didn’t.

Because I was embarrassed that I had to call a priest for treatment like this.

Thanks to this, I lied down for a few days and ate all kinds of tea and healthy foods that are good for body aches, and Caleb rubbed my arms and legs with utmost sincerity in his spare time.

I was feeling guilty because my stubbornness bothered someone who was already tired from work. But apart from that, his touch and massages felt really good.

Although I won’t be able to get it anymore now that I am completely better.

Ugh, just thinking about it makes me feel like that’s too bad.

I soothed my disappointment while waiting for the milk to come again as it was rewarmed.

In the afternoon, Count Van Der visited the duke’s residence.

It was because Count Van Der is my guardian and I’d like to have her consent for my engagement to Caleb.

Otherwise, if I proceed with the engagement ceremony without her consent, the dishonor of ‘unauthorized engagement’ would follow.

Originally, I was going to get her consent last week, but I had postponed it to today because I had a bad body ache.

“Long time no see, Miss Lena.”

“It’s really been a long time since the last time I’ve seen you, Count. Shall we sit down first?”

“Of course.”

First I sat face to face with the count.

“I heard you had a bad body ache. I was worried a lot because it seemed pretty serious that you even delayed our appointment.”

My body trembled at the sudden change of subject.

“Are you alright now?”

“Ah, yes…… I am alright. Thank you for your concern, Count.”

I held the teacup and looked elsewhere, adding that I appreciate her concern.
