Citadel of Desire - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 – Too Sweet (1)

Rei dreamed of a large bird carrying her in its beak. She squirmed as the tiny dots of crowd below her looked up and gasped. When Rei tried to break free from its clutches, the bird let go of her. A shiver went down her spine, and her stomach plummeted as she fell. Just before she crashed into the ground, her eyes opened.

Her body ached all over, and the pajamas scratched at her skin. She looked down at her chest and found it covered with red love marks. Shocked at the sight, she was only able to open and close her mouth like a fish. Noticing that she was awake, a voice called out to her from the tea table.

“Ah, the sight of you in the morning, it’s quite…respectable.”

Rei pulled the blanket aside, a sudden gust of cold air nipping at her skin. Clodan had woken up before her and was now casually drinking tea.

“W-what’s this?!”

“You should stop eating so much sugar. Your bre*sts are too sweet.”

Rei knew they hadn’t seen each other for a while. Clodan had too many things to deal with, after all. But to have gone this far? It was extremely unfair! She protested gloomily.

“How could you do these?” She looked horrified with the angry purple bruises on her pale skin.

There was no use in arguing against him. She’d never win. So, she did the next best thing. She criticized him timidly.

“You’re shameless…”

Clodan ignored her complaints and tried bribing her with a tray filled with her favorite delish. “Eat.”

But to his surprise, Rei shook her head and refused, “I don’t eat breakfast.”

She always woke up late, so she wasn’t in the habit of breaking her fast. If she ate now, then she’d feel nauseous.

“You’re acting like royalty.” His voice was as deepest as it could be, but his eyes shone with worry towards her. He got up and brought a tray filled with baguettes, grape jelly, and tea on the bed. Rei frowned in response.

“I won’t be able to have lunch.”

“Yes, princess.”

“I-I’m serious.”

But Clodan wasn’t lenient at all. He stubbornly held the food in front of her lips until she reluctantly took it into her mouth.

She took a tiny bite out of the bread.

“Eat more.”

Even the governesses who’d been invited to teach her hadn’t been so firm on her. She took another bite, but Clodan wasn’t satisfied.

“Finish it all.”

Rei slowly chewed the bread, and when Clodan saw that she had her fill, handed her a glass of milk.

He drank on the sight of her; couldn’t help but be besotted. With his hand propped on his elbow supporting his chin, he sported a look of awe.

As she drank the milk, his gaze wandered down— from her neck and finally landing on her chest.

“They’re swollen.”

“W-what?”

Oblivious to his intentions, Rei was dumbfounded as she felt her chemise lift up. The cold air bit her skin as her br*sts were exposed.

“W-what are you doing?! It’s only morning!”

He only looked at first, but soon she found a tongue pressing against the bruises on her chest. Rei struggled to lower her chemise, but he easily resisted the force. After a few more swipes against her soft, marked skin, he took the swollen bud into his mouth and toyed it with his tongue. Her breath hitched as he lightly grazed his teeth against it.

“I-it hurts…”

Every single touch of his caused her senses to be overwhelmed.

“St-stop! I want to have breakfast.” She excused.

“Then, eat.”

“Wait! Clodan!”

Rei felt his deft fingers sneaking up between her thighs, and a throb went up her core as her body burned with heat. He swiped a finger against it to check how wet she was. He was pleased to find her moist already, so he pushed the tip of his finger to her entrance.

Rei trembled as the familiar tingles spread throughout her nether region. Clodan lightly bit at her left bud, and she found herself gushing in response.

He plunged another digit inside her, curling it around to stroke at her walls, trying to find that one spot that would make her clench around him and never want to let go. He was planning to spoil her rotten.

“Ah! Ahh!”

Her body jerked and her hands suddenly clamped down on his shoulders, tears building in her eyes from the absolute pleasure he was subjecting her to. Her core gushed again, and the liquid trickled down his wrist and fell onto the sheets.

“Ah, the blankets are wet again.” He said amused, “It’d be embarrassing to ask them to wash it again.”

“N-no! No!”

His fingers found her sweet spot and targeted it continuously. The hot, white feeling burst inside her and she came with a long, drawn-out scream.

“I told you, didn’t I? You’re too fast. You shouldn’t come before me.” Said Clodan, to which she had no strength to reply. Her cheeks only became red.

“Rei?”

“Y-yes?” He took hold of her thighs and open her up for him. Then he grasped her chin and made her look up to him. Soft, plump lips then collided with hers. The kiss was slow and sensual. It was as if it was their last kiss. Clodan took his time exploring her mouth.

And when he let go, he whispered next to her ears.

“Earlier, I told you I’d go easy on you since it was your first time, but now…”
