## Chapter 174 – 174. Garden Rendezvous (3)
#174. Garden Rendezvous (3)
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Sylvia reacted strongly to my words, rising to her feet.
Her large breasts swayed prominently, half-exposed as she was.
Noticing my gaze on her chest, she hurriedly covered herself.
“What.”
“Don’t play innocent! You clearly promised to finish it with your mouth…!”
“What promise?”
Of course, I’d spoken in a way that implied it, but I never explicitly promised anything.
“You despicable bastard…!”
Sylvia gnashed her teeth, glaring at me with a murderous look.
“You’re twisting my words.”
But as the person involved, I couldn’t help but feel absurd.
“Wasn’t the contract between us from the start that you’d be my partner for a year?”
Of course, we hadn’t stamped or signed the contract yet, but even without that, the contract was already as good as in effect.
The fact that Sylvia, who loathed men and even humans, had sucked and serviced my cock was proof of that.
She couldn’t possibly have thought of it as some kind of down payment.
Sylvia herself implicitly believed that the contract had been established.
“You didn’t think you’d just be sucking and blowing for a whole year, did you?”
No matter how sexually ignorant she was, she couldn’t possibly be that clueless.
More than anything, her outburst when I told her to take off her pants showed that she knew something about sex.
“…I refuse.”
“You’re not going to go through with it just because we haven’t stamped the contract yet?”
If that was the case, I could stamp it right away.
“I’m not an animal!”
“Language.”
When I pointed it out in a low voice, Sylvia kept moving her lips as if she couldn’t find the words to say.
She was probably about to say something like, ‘You vile creature!’ or ‘You’re utterly vulgar!’, but according to the contract, she had to call me ‘dear’ when we were alone.
She didn’t want to call me by that title, so she must have been at a loss for words.
“If you have nothing to say, I’ll continue.”
As I reached out towards her chest, Sylvia took a step back and shouted.
“I-I don’t want to have my first time rolling around outdoors like an animal…!”
“What?”
Sylvia’s face turned as red as if it would explode at any moment.
“…A-At least in a bed.”
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by her muttering with her head down.
It was the first time I’d heard such a feminine complaint, and this time, I was the one who was speechless.
Reluctantly, I took off the cloak I was wearing and draped it over Sylvia’s shoulders.
‘Haa…’
If Sylvia had acted like her usual self, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this. I swallowed a sigh and pulled up my pants.
Forcing myself on her in this situation would only ruin my appetite.
Sylvia looked at me with a strange expression, wondering if my sudden change in attitude was genuine.
“…As you say, I can’t possibly take the first time of the noble Winterbourne ducal family’s daughter in such a humble place.”
Perhaps she took it as a provocation or mockery, as Sylvia frowned and threw off the cloak I had given her.
I silently watched her button up her shirt.
“I offered you kindness, but all I get in return is coldness… I’m starting to feel hurt.”
“…What do you want?”
“In short, you don’t want to have your first experience outdoors.”
I approached Sylvia and tapped my lips.
“You can at least give me a kiss, right?”
“T-That’s…!”
“You choose.”
Whether you have sex with me here, or kiss me.
It was Sylvia’s choice.
Of course, it still seemed like there was only one option.
“…If I just kiss you today, it’ll really be over, right?”
“Well, that depends on you.”
I slowly bent down and met Sylvia’s gaze.
She was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Especially that cold gaze filled with loathing as she looked at me was so addictive that it was hard to describe.
After a long period of contemplation, Sylvia finally made up her mind and slowly approached me.
I could feel her determination not to rely on me no matter what, as she supported herself on her tiptoes.
Her red lips drew closer and closer.
“You don’t have to close your eyes?”
“I’m not your lover.”
As if I didn’t know.
I chuckled and leaned in, and I could see Sylvia’s face turn slightly red.
“If you mess up the honorifics again and pretend you’re not used to it, I might kiss you in front of Iris.”
“…Dear.”
In response to the dry, emotionless title, I wrapped my arms around Sylvia’s waist.
“C-Can’t you let go of me?!”
Sylvia struggled, startled by the sudden contact, but I wasn’t going to let go.
“Don’t resist unnecessarily. Do you think you can go a year without any contact?”
“…Tch.”
Sylvia’s rejection was stronger than expected.
That must be why she hesitated so long between sex and a kiss.
Stealing a kiss from her while she was pushing me away was an appealing scenario, but I couldn’t continue like that for a year.
Above all, Iris wanted Sylvia to be happy.
[The Sex Expert skill is activated.]
[Sensitivity correction +20%]
It would have a small effect since it was just skin contact, but it wouldn’t be completely useless.
As expected, Sylvia, who had reacted immediately like before, was startled and struggled to get out of my arms, but I trapped her in my arms and grabbed her chin.
Sylvia’s eyes, which had been full of loathing until just now, were faintly trembling.
“Don’t think about anything else.”
“Mmph?!”
I covered Sylvia’s lips. I could feel the soft sensation of her lips.
But she didn’t seem to want to open her mouth, and only light kisses continued.
“Are you trying to break the contract again?”
Of course, it was due to her instinctive revulsion, but I had already conceded too much to consider such circumstances.
Besides, it seemed like it was time to clearly establish the power dynamic.
I moved my hand that was wrapped around Sylvia’s waist and suddenly grabbed her butt.
“Hng, eugh?!”
Sylvia was startled and struggled violently, but she couldn’t resist properly because her hands weren’t free.
I continued to kiss her firmly closed lips and fondled her butt with both hands.
I couldn’t feel much sensation because of the leather pants. Instead, it was clear that her butt was as big as her chest.
“Open your lips.”
“O-Okay, so take your hands off me first…!”
“I’ll see what you do. For the record, there’s no next time.”
I murmured as if warning her. I didn’t show it on the outside, but I was barely holding back because of Sylvia’s intense scent, which was so strong that it would make my nose crooked.
I wanted to take off Sylvia’s clothes and ravage her right away.
But as the saying goes, life is the art of waiting, so now was the time to be patient.
I squeezed her butt tightly and urged her, and Sylvia reluctantly leaned in after flinching once.
I put my lips on hers and inserted my tongue into the slightly open gap.
The sensation of my tongue finally touching hers was warm, soft, and very hot.
“Hoo, oop, eugh…”
Her tongue naturally intertwined with mine, and saliva mixed.
I mixed my tongue roughly as if I was going to devour her, and occasionally grabbed Sylvia’s butt or stroked her back.
Sylvia, who didn’t like such contact, continued to struggle in my arms without giving up.
But she eventually gave up and entrusted herself to me, as if she wouldn’t stop no matter how much she struggled.
“Hee, hee…”
“Breathe through your nose.”
“Enough now… hng, hee… smooch, smooch…”
Sylvia whined with her tongue loosened, whether it was because the pheromones didn’t work well or because the trace ingredients worked well.
I stroked her flushed face and neck as she let out a hot breath.
We shared each other’s warmth and focused on kissing for a while.
***
The kiss, which didn’t seem like it would ever end, had to be ended at a reasonable level due to time constraints.
“So, how was it? Your impression of your first kiss.”
Sylvia, who hadn’t shown her face even once since the kiss ended, was wiping her lips with the back of her hand.
“…It was a miserable and terrible feeling.”
A cold voice pierced my ears.
With a subtle murderous intent, Sylvia went to the detached house without saying a word.
I watched her receding figure.
The short but hot rendezvous with Sylvia ended like that.
“Anyone would think that I’m the only one who enjoyed it.”
The deeper the kiss, the more actively involved Sylvia was, not me.
Besides, it was Sylvia who sighed as if she was disappointed when I took my lips off hers.
I was a little dumbfounded, but now it was a priority to move according to the plan.
I walked leisurely towards the party hall. The bright lights and the noise of the people were getting closer.
Even though it was quite late, the garden, which was still the center of the party, was bustling.
The auction seemed to be over, but the participants were still socializing.
I walked through the crowd wearing a wolf mask.
I could see Lina Hessler in the distance.
I walked towards her, surrounded by people. Like the quick-witted woman she was, she seemed to have recognized me among the crowd and sent me a look.
I looked at her and slowly blinked. It was the signal for the success of the operation.
Now, she would have to move diligently until dawn. That way, she would be able to inherit the title by leading her vassals when the morning came.
Anyway, my role was up to here.
It didn’t matter to me if the plan went awry. Sylvia had joined, so destroying a few slave traders wouldn’t be a big deal.
I received two glasses of wine from a passing servant and headed to the corner of the garden where Iris was sitting.
There, my illusion and Iris were looking up at the night sky.
“Ah, Hyun-woo-nim…!”
Iris smiled brightly as she looked at me, as if she had sensed my presence. Her face was flushed, as if she had drunk quite a bit while I was gone.
“Didn’t you drink too much?”
I erased the illusion and sat down in its place.
“I only drank four more glasses after Hyun-woo-nim left.”
“Your face is very red for that amount.”
As someone who handles magic, she would inevitably have a tolerance for alcohol.
It wouldn’t be this red unless she had drunk four glasses in a row.
“Is that so? Hehe, maybe that’s right…”
Iris hugged my arm and leaned on me. Her eyelids were drooping, as if she was sleepy.
Perhaps she was in a good mood thanks to the alcohol she had drunk after a long time, as the corners of Iris’s lips were gently raised.
Iris rubbed her cheek against my shoulder as if she was acting cute.
‘I brought it to have a last drink together, but not like this.’
I put the wine glass on the table and took off my coat and covered Iris’s shoulders.
“…Thank you.”
After leaving a word as if muttering, Iris fell asleep as it was.
Soon, I could hear her even, gentle breathing.
I gently stroked her hair and opened the inventory and took out a small key.
“I got some extra income.”
It wasn’t an ordinary key. It was a key that I had found in the Hessler viscount’s pocket after dealing with him.
Above all, it had a magical effect.
It was probably a key related to the barrier, but the magic power flowing from the key was so subtle that even I had to concentrate deeply to barely feel it.
The thread of magic power that emanated from the key was pointing to the basement of the mansion.
“Shall we go treasure hunting before dawn?”
Of course, I was going to squeeze Lina Hessler for everything before I left, but that was that, and this was this.
