Predatory Marriage

ole body stiffening up at the sensation that left her weak.

After several thrusts, the man finally let out a groan as he, too, finished off.

The hot fluid shot to her insides, and Leah trembled without a sound.
Her tears made her vision cloudy.
Tired lids soon fluttered to a close, and before she knew it, she passed out.

“….”

Pain… Everything felt painful.

Leah’s eyes flashed open.
As soon as she saw the strange wooden ceiling hovering above her, her heart dropped

Her faltering breath came to her ears—she felt suffocated.
Slowly, she turned to her side, and her breath hitched immediately at the sight that welcomed her.
A man was sleeping with his long arms and legs wounded around her form.

The two of them were bare as the day they were born, but Leah didn’t feel cold.
Despite the icy air of dawn, the heat coming off the man kept her warm.

Leah glanced over her body.
It seemed that he had washed her while she was unconscious.
For a second, she felt thankful.
But as soon the memories of last night flooded her mind, she barely swallowed back the vulgar words that came up to her throat.

The utterly new sensation had split and pierced her together repeatedly.
Throughout the heated evening, he had been nothing but rough and unforgiving to her.

Her cheeks tinged red.
Despite his callousness, she had to admit that it was indeed pleasurable…The night was still vivid in her mind.
It would be a memory she wouldn’t forget until she breathed her last.

She let out a small sigh.
Even though she made a stupid mistake of approaching the man, she had still met her goal—she had been deflowered—a damaged good of the royal family.

It would be bright outside soon. Now, she had to return to the palace immediately.
Carefully, she moved the heavy, thick arms on top of her.
Doing this task, she forgot to breath… afraid that the man would wake up from his deep slumber.

“!!”

“!!”

Burly arms quickly wrapped around her waist, lips clung onto her ear, and a low, hoarse voice whispered.

“….
Where are you going?”

Under heavy lids, sharp golden eyes glowered at Leah.
She pushed his arm away and said, “One night…”

Her voice came out gravelly.
It was because of the coquettish screaming last night.
Blushing, she belatedly cleared her voice and spoke again with much fervor, “That one-night recreation is over now.”
