I only realized belatedly what I had blurted out.

‘Just now… what…’

It was as if my brain had shut down. My thoughts weren’t functioning properly.

The reason I grabbed Zachary? Naturally, to seize the opportunity to secure the restraints…

‘Was it really just because of that?’

When I grabbed Zachary, I hadn’t even thought about the restraints. It was only after grabbing him that I conjured up a reason. I had just instinctively held onto him, who was leaving me behind.

Looking at my hand clutching Zachary’s shirt, a wave of embarrassment surged over me.

“Sorry.”

Startled, I slowly let go of my hand. Then I glanced at Zachary to gauge his reaction.

The hem of his shirt, which I had grabbed, was wrinkled. However, Zachary showed no reaction. Because of the cloth covering his face, I couldn’t tell what expression he was making.

“Go to sleep now.”

He stood silently for a while, staring at me. It felt like he was asking what the meaning of my words and actions was, making me feel like I had to come up with some excuse.

“Just…”

Unable to endure the long silence, I eventually spoke.

“…we always slept together, so I did it without thinking.”

At this point, I could roughly guess why Zachary wanted to leave.

Zachary was the most sensitive and quick to react regarding my health. It was unlikely he didn’t know that I had been having restless nights as we spent many nights together.

‘Even I can see my face is a mess.’

Perhaps he thought he was disrupting my sleep? If he intended for me to rest comfortably…

“Tonight, it would be better for us to sleep separately.”

However, despite thinking up all these reasonable reasons in my head, an inexplicable feeling of sadness welled up inside me.

Why do I feel this way? Previously, I found it so hard and difficult to share a bed with Zachary, but now…

‘Idiot. You already know.’

I didn’t want to uncover the answer I had tried hard to cover up, so my thoughts circled around. No matter what I said, I felt I would just make a mistake, so I kept my mouth shut and quietly waited for him to leave. But then, Zachary moved.

‘Why towards me?’

Zachary usually complied with my words. Contrary to my expectation that he would leave immediately, he approached me slowly. Then he grabbed the headboard and leaned in. As he lowered himself slowly, only a handspan of space remained between us.

“…”

My gaze naturally followed his movements downward. Was it because the distance was so close? I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

He tilted his head slowly. As the cloth moved with him, his well-formed cheek was revealed. My eyes were naturally drawn to his sharp nose beneath the cloth.

Closer, even closer.

“Ah…”

He lowered only the bottom part of the cloth and pressed down on me. It was a desperate kiss, different from the slow, deliberate approach he had shown. Unlike his usual gentle kisses, it felt like he was pouring out all his overflowing emotions, unable to hold back any longer.

He pressed down so forcefully that it felt like he wouldn’t allow even a whimper to escape. The cloth covering his face tickled my nose.

I tightly closed my eyes.

‘This is strange. Why this kind of kiss…’

It tickled. The tension was so high that I could hardly breathe. The ghostly eyes that usually frightened me no longer felt scary.

Suddenly, I felt it was unfair. Zachary could see my face, but I couldn’t see his.

Right now, I wanted to see his face beyond the cloth. Not the red-painted ghostly eyes, but Zachary’s dark blue eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, I reached out and gently pushed the cloth up. Zachary’s face gradually emerged. With his eyes lowered, he was entirely focused on me. His long, dark eyelashes lowered, he looked like a beautiful angel from a famous painting. Suddenly, his blue eyes met mine directly.

‘…Ah.’

The moment our eyes met, I involuntarily swallowed. His blue eyes shone as if they held a deep fire within. They didn’t sparkle but rather appeared moist and dark. The expression ‘darkly shining’ seemed most fitting. It was a contradictory term, but no other expression could describe Zachary.

At that moment, I felt a small breath near the tip of my nose. It was close to a sigh, but it didn’t feel unpleasant. When I opened my eyes wide at his laugh, Zachary spoke.

“Why do you keep provoking me, Young Master?”

His tone seemed quite pleased.

Zachary’s lips glistened, making it unclear whether it was my saliva or his, looking particularly obscene. As I stared, mesmerized, he pressed his sharp nose against my cheek. I flinched in surprise at the unexpected action. Then Zachary spoke softly.

“Even though you are this scared.”

His voice was endlessly low. The low whisper tickled my ears. He grabbed the cloth I had half-removed and threw it back. His hair was disheveled from the rough movement. He swept his hair back and got even closer to me.

“I have been holding back so much…”

His tone was calm, but it was filled with undeniable heat. Was it because of the intense heat or because we were so close that we could swallow each other’s breaths? I felt like I might forget that he was yearning for me because of the spell.

For a moment, I forgot to breathe and froze. It was because I could feel his erect member pressing against my lower body. But he didn’t stop there, moving his hips slowly. The vivid sensation made my face turn red, and Zachary laughed.

“At least it’s a relief.”

The cool hand that had been around my back directly touched the waistband of my pants. Before I could stop him, he swiftly pulled my pants down to my ankles. In one swift motion, my underwear was also pulled down, leaving my lower body completely exposed.

The more embarrassing part was my heated core. The cool air touched my half-erect member.

“What…!”

Of course, he had seen my naked body before. But suddenly being exposed like this made my face flush with embarrassment. As I reached out in shock to cover myself, he grabbed my core directly.

“Since the Young Master is also like this.”

“W-wait.”

I trembled at his touch. What happened next was even more shocking. Zachary lowered his head and took my member into his mouth.

“Ah…”

Unbelievable. The thought of my member in Zachary’s wet, hot mouth was something I had never even imagined. In my panic, I grabbed Zachary’s head with my hands and tried to push him away with my feet. However, he only sucked harder, as if to show off.

His wet, hot tongue wrapped around the shaft. He swallowed deeply, as if trying to press me into his throat. Each time, I felt like I was going to lose my mind. Unable to handle the intense stimulation, I screamed and grabbed his head even tighter.

“Stop, please.”

I had already exposed my deepest parts, but I didn’t want to show an even worse side. As I shook my head and pushed him away, Zachary reluctantly pulled back slightly. He stared at me intently, even as he looked like he was about to let go.

I gazed at his blue eyes with a pleading look. As he pulled back slightly, he sucked strongly once more. At that moment, I ejaculated into Zachary’s mouth.

At the peak of pleasure, my fingers and toes curled. Even after ejaculating, he didn’t release my member. I had to bend my head and moan helplessly as the climax continued. When my body trembled intermittently, Zachary finally withdrew.

“…”

Breathing heavily, Zachary looked up. His lips showed clear traces of my ejaculation.

My member, wet with saliva, was exposed to the air. Even the cold air touching my skin felt stimulating. However, what happened next was even more shocking.

“Now move aside, okay?”

Zachary pulled my body towards him. Then he lifted my legs and bent them. What was he planning to do? As I watched him in bewilderment, he suddenly spat out the semen and saliva he had in his mouth into his hand.

“Why there… Ah?”

He pressed a finger into a place I had never even thought about. Soon, his long finger slowly penetrated me.
