I Didn't Tame The Beastly Duke!

Her n*pple, wet with saliva, was violently sucked. Celia gasped and struggled in Leonis’ arms.

“Angg…Ah, stop…”

Leonis was constantly sucking on her n*pples, and she tried to get away from him, but neither the arm that was holding her back in pain nor the lips that licked her chest seemed to come off.

Celia grabbed Leonis’ head, but she struggled with holding onto it. Her dress had ripped at the hem and the chest had been left open, making it difficult for her to use her arms properly.

“Euk… ahh! No, oh! Ahhh…”

Celia trembled in Leonis’ arms after only being lightly touched by the relentless harassment. Leonis was rolling his tongue over Celia’s red nipples, looking at her greedily. She gasped and stared back at him.

“Hah, hah…”

Leonis lifted his head from Celia’s chest and gazed piercingly at her lips. Celia, who was breathing with her mouth open, paused when she noticed his gaze.

“Celia……”

Celia’s face turned red as his whispering voice sounded exactly like the way she had been pleading. They had an intense sex session just a few hours ago that lasted all night, day, and night again.

“Ahh… No more, please……”

Celia, in tears, was shaking her head as Leonis’ heated lips overlapped with hers. Celia greeted his tongue with tears in her eyes as she parted her lips. Her spine tingled as he teased her with his obscene tongue.

“Eum…hmmm, eung….”

Ce….lia…

The mellifluous voice in Celia’s ears astounded her. She was sure Leonis must be frantically kissing her, so who was the whisperer?

Celia… Are you dreaming about me?

The mischievous, whispered voice caught Celia’s attention. It wasn’t a dream, but reality. She could see Leonis’ face looking down at her from above, as if she was sleeping on his thigh.

“Argh!”

Leonis barely avoided Celia’s forehead as she raised her upper body as if it was bouncing in surprise. She tried to get up with all her might, but she was struck in the back.

“Cough!”

The stabbing pain in Celia’s back caused her to stumble and nearly fall backwards. Leonis was the one who held Celia in such a tight grip.

“You have to be careful.”

Celia was appalled by his brazen words. Who’s to blame for holding my back like this? Be careful?!

Leonis smiled warmly and made Celia lean against him when she stared. He spoke while arranging Celia’s hair.

“You slept all day, aren’t you hungry?”

“All day?”

The sun was shining as she looked around. It wasn’t early in the morning, so evening seemed to be approaching.

‘Ah… breakfast and lunch time had passed.’

Celia was speechless because she was despondent. Leonis looked at her and put his arm around her waist.

‘Huh? What is this development?’

Of course, she spent a very intense and long night, day and night, but… they were not this close. But Leonis didn’t seem to have any intention of getting his hands away from Celia’s body.

“Excuse me….What’s this hand?”

“I’m afraid my wife will fall.”

“Who is jumping on the sofa….”

She almost fell as soon as he jumped up from the sofa. Celia shook her head and looked at Leonis.

“I might fall…. but I’m fine now.”

“You are not fine. I can’t let my wife fall off the sofa.”

As he said that, Leonis hugged Celia in one arm and returned his gaze back to the papers. At first glance, Leonis had a mountain of paperwork in front of him.

“Why didn’t you do it in your Oval office?”

They were in the Duke’s bedroom. Celia appeared to be sleeping on Leonis’ thigh while Leonis worked with a stack of payment documents on the table in front of the sofa.

‘Have you been doing this the whole day?’

She glanced at Leonis’ thigh, thinking that his leg must have hurt. Celia slipped her legs beneath the sofa. When she got down on her legs, she saw that slippers were already prepared for her.

“…Are you feeling well?”

Leonis asked without taking his eyes off the document. Celia’s face turned red because she remembered her dream a while ago.

I’ve already done all kinds of erotic things, why did I even have a dream like that!

Celia pursed her lips as she turned her head.

“My back hurts, my thighs hurt, my neck hurts a little….”

“Well, that’s why you screamed like that.”

The words he added with a smirk embarrassed Celia. She remembered that in the Duchess’s bedroom when she was moaning and screaming at him to stop.

“Be-Because of who!”

“It’s all my fault. That’s why I am taking responsibility.”

“How do you take responsibility for that?”

It was a mistake to believe that he would be responsible because he was married. She wanted to tell him to return her back and thighs that were in good shape.

“By washing and serving my sleeping wife? I’ll follow my wife around and serve you until you are fine.”

Aren’t you attempting to touch me gently under the guise of serving me?

“Don’t you need blood?”

“What do you mean? You really liked my bathing service.”

Leonis whispered as he tugged at her waist. Celia flushed bright red as she realized he was messing with her entire body under the guise of washing it.

“When did I ever…! I’ve never done that!”

“Hmm, why did you change your mind? No way…”

Leonis’s lips were tightly pressed closer to Celia’s ear.

“Is it because I didn’t suck your breasts in the bath?”

Argh! Why did you say that now?

Celia felt compelled to kick the blanket in humiliation. Leonis laughed, looking at Celia’s blushed face.

“Why? It felt good enough to relive it in a dream.”

She couldn’t afford to ask how on earth he knew that. She was embarrassed and forgot that her opponent was Leonis, so she hit him hard. With a cushion.

Leonis looked startled for a moment, but chuckled and grabbed Celia’s wrist, holding the cushion. Celia struggled as he quickly pulled her into his arms.

“Le-let me go!”

“You’re gonna hit me if I let you go.”

When Celia hit him with a cushion, it didn’t seem to hurt him at all. As two hearts were overlapping, it appeared as if she could hear the pounding sound of her heart.

“Stop teasing me. It’s because you’re cute. Don’t be sulky.”

“Who’s sulking…..”

As she turned her head, Leonis’ lips touched Celia’s cheek. When she looked at Leonis in astonishment, he was smiling.

“Yeah, you are not sulking. It’s just that you’re cute.”

In a different way, Celia was embarrassed by the way he looked at her. Leonis’s smile widened as she fidgeted behind her closed mouth.

“The market….. Can I follow you?”

“…….”

“Huh?”

Celia hesitated to act because it was obvious what he was thinking. Oddly enough, Leonis seemed to make her feel more at ease than her same-sex maids.

Maybe I feel that way because I slept night and day with him.

“But you are a Duke….”

“You are my wife, so there is nothing wrong with that.”

Leonis looked like he was going to go with Celia. She hesitated but finally allowed it.

✦ ✦ ✦

Leonis had a lot of work to do.

Celia didn’t tell Leonis that he needed to return to work. She was simply laying on his thighs, as she did previously. Leonis smiled as Celia’s eyes seemed to drop when he stroked her forehead.

“Why aren’t you sleeping? You can sleep.”

Celia couldn’t fight her drowsiness and closed her eyes in response to the gentle whisper. Leonis had left her exhausted all night, and she hadn’t gotten enough sleep.

Celia quickly fell asleep after closing her eyes. It seemed because she had just finished a full meal and had even eaten dessert.

Leonis’ thighs were thick and hard, making sleeping uncomfortable, but the heat was sufficient.

‘What the hell am I doing here? This isn’t the time… I need to figure out the clue about the curse.’

It wasn’t in the original, so she didn’t know where to start.

Lily tried to find the old books of the Montagues, but she couldn’t find them. Her initial goal was to exacerbate rather than lift his curse, so she would do so if it seemed natural.

‘Then, is there a way to break the curse in Montague?’

Marquis Montague had a hobby of collecting ancient magic books, and it was set to be related to the wizard who passed on the imperial curse to Duke Cardian.

‘Montague… I’ll have to visit Marquis Montague at least once.’

Celia was transferred to the Duke’s bed while she was deeply intoxicated by the warmth that enveloped her body. Her body was covered by a blanket, which Leonis replaced with the bed’s duvet.

‘The curse… is still calm.’

It was a strange thing. His indescribable lust for Celia was embarrassing, but it was fortunate that she accepted him without much strain.

Leonis felt sorry and thankful at the same time.

It was just a marriage that was forced on his own behalf, but he owed a great debt to Celia.

Leonis put on his pajamas and slipped inside the duvet. He considered changing Celia’s clothes into pajamas, but she appeared content with her current indoor outfit.

He was worried that he would wake up the sleeping person while trying to change her clothes.

“Have a nice dream…Celia.”

Leonis whispered affectionately as he held Celia in his arms and went to bed. When he was completely asleep, Celia opened her faint eyes ten minutes later

“Huh?”

She turned around and saw Leonis hugging her. She was already in bed. Celia let out a long yawn and looked around the darkened bedroom.

‘Can you sleep without doing it?’

She was a little worried, but she was too exhausted to wake Leonis up. No matter how much Celia’s body received a bloodline from the goddess, there was a limit.

Celia thought for a moment before pressing her nose against Leonis’ chest and closing her eyes. Leonis would have seduced her first if there was any hint of a curse on him. With such speculation even in a sleepy state, Celia fell asleep.
