I felt that the temperature in the room was definitely dropping.

“Lu, Lu, Luke, this fluttering of my heart isn’t cheating一, ah, or more like, Michela is a woman in the first place, so there’s no need to say it’s cheating…”

I doubted if that excuse would work on Luke, someone who even gets jealous of inanimate objects but being stared at by his emerald green eyes that shined with suspicion, I felt guilty and made an unnecessary excuse.

It was the kind of face that would go straight to the bed after an intense suffocating kiss. Then, he wouldn’t let you sleep until morning. I stood there, frozen, as if I were a frog being stared at by a snake when Michela snuggled up next to me.

“Good morning Luke, I’m sorry to intrude. I believe this is our first time meeting face to face. Please feel free to call me Michele or Michela, as it suits you. As Philia and I shall be having long relationship from now on, I definitely wanted to talk with you, someone who will become her husband, once.”

“I dislike people who tend to act over-familiar. Please get away from Phil, immediately. It’s unpleasant sight even knowing you’re a woman.”

“Hahaha, you really are a jealous person, just as Philia said.”

Michela easily fended off Luke’s icy glare with a refreshing, harmless smile. A bit, no, I admired her a lot in that regard.

“A lover’s jealousy is a lovely thing, isn’t it, Philia?”

“M-Michela, Luke’s jealousy isn’t on the dimension of lovely.”

“No, no, Luke’s is a cute one. If were me and I saw Nicolo flirt with someone other else, I would have held him in my arms and forcibly confined him. Speaking of which, it’d be instant death if I were to judge that person too close to him, even if it were a man.”

“I don’t think that’s a good thing…… “

“You don’t need to worry. I’ve hit them with the hilt of my sword. I haven’t killed anyone in reality, not yet.”

Hearing those dangerous words come out from Michela’s cheerful mouth exhausted me, even more than Luke. Michela was an upright knight, one without any place to find fault on but when it came to her fiancé, but that seemed to have been completely different from what I understood. That’s something I understood from our short relationship.

The sharpness in Luke’s eyes hadn’t left yet, but they seemed to have lost some of their venom. I wondered if it was from surprise of meeting someone who’d get as jealous as him.

Michele spoke to Luke in a friendly manner, despite the reactions of those around her.

“Luke, I understand your concern for Philia very well. She’s a really lovely woman but surprisingly defenseless in many ways.”

“I hate to admit it, but it’s just as you’ve said. While Phii is a flawless woman, kind, gentle, and lewd at night, her vigilance against men is too weak.”

“…… Don’t say embarrassing thing in front of others. Besides, I don’t recklessly let men get close to me.

Luke said something strange while pretending to compliment me, but I couldn’t consent to it at all. Yet when I protested, both of them stared at me and sighed simultaneously.

“Phii, did you already forget you were attacked by a degenerate not long ago? Listen well, there are countless men who will try to get their hands on you, no matter if you have a fiancé or if they’re afraid of father.”

“Luke is correct, Philia. The position of Duke La • Robe’s son-in-law position is worth the challenge even if they have to take on some risks. Not only that, your fluffy body is like a devil’s temptation for men.”

“…… Fluffy?”

Luke repeated it out loud of all things and swiftly turned away, pressing his lips together.

“L-Luke, you thought ‘certainly’ just now, right? After all, my body is getting fatter.”

“Phii, you’re wrong, I just remembered something else. Your soft body is the best.”

“Yeah, you’re right about your fat. Especially your jiggly chest, it’s no exaggeration to say they are your most valuable assets. You’ll be perfect if you can build some muscle and keep them from sagging.”

“I, I guess so. If I work hard from now on, I’ll have beautiful breasts like Michele’s…”

“You don’t have to listen to her, you’re perfect even if you don’t do that. Dammit, if it was not for the promise with father, I would have immediately verified the wonderfulness of your body on the bed…… “

“…… You guys, cut it outttt!!!”

Our mouths immediately tightly shut at the slightly, high pitched, booming voice of a man.

“…Oops, I forgot.”

When Luke said that and shifted aside, a dainty looking young man, who had been completely hidden by Luke’s tall but slender body, was trembling with a bright red face, appeared.

He was a young man with slick black hair, fawn-like brown eyes, and delicate facial features coupled with light skin that looked to have never been exposed to sun. Lifting the corners of his eyes, he raises his voice.

“I, I have silently been listening since earlier but aren’t you guys ashamed? Don’t you have any modesty…?”

“Nicolo! Ahh, my beloved…… “

Michela shouted, her voiced deep with emotion, and rushed straight to him.

The frail and sickly-looking young man, Nicolo • De • Vieri, also Michela’s fiancé, immediately went to run but was instantly captured by the trained Michela.

“G-Get away from me. Don’t get close me when you’re in a knight’s uniform.”

“Don’t be so cold, Nicolo. Didn’t you say it was cool in the past?”

“Because…… It should have been impossible for my fiancée to clearly be more manly than me. On whole, Michela is an amazing beauty when you wear women’s clothing……”

…… A tsundere. He was shy even though he was trembling from anger.

Luke was silently watching the live tsundere, so I asked him about my doubt.

“Luke, were you friends with Count Vieri?”

Thinking about it, Luke was only a year older than him. There was nothing strange about the sons of upper-class aristocrats being friends.

I can’t speak about other people, but I was excited at the prospect of Luke having made his first friend. He didn’t have any other friends beside me after all, but Luke shook his head.

“No, I only brought him here because I thought he’d make for the best bait in separating her from you.”

“It’s frustrating, but Luke is quite good at reading other people. Even if my feelings for Philia are real, I will choose Nicolo without any doubt if he’s in front of me.”

As Michele hugged Nicolo, who was a fist and a half shorter than her, she praised Luke without hesitation, as if praising a good rival. She casually said something that could easily crack the friendship between women, but as I’m also an adult woman, I choose to ignore it.

“But it would be wonderful if Luke could get along with Vieri-sama. It’s just as Michela said, our relationship is going to be a long one.”

“Yeah, our weddings will be less than half a year apart, and our children will be born at a similar time.”

“Wouldn’t our children getting along well be wonderful? Our families could be involved.”

“A child…… If we had one, I wouldn’t be able to embrace Phii. Even these several weeks have been difficult, it’s hard to endure.”

“L, Luke? Your face is seriously pale. Besides, it’s too late for you to say that, we haven’t used any contraceptives at all.”

“You don’t want to use contraceptives but also don’t want to have children, that too selfish desire of a man! If you can’t control yourself on a regular basis, then you should make up your mind.”

“But this responsibility isn’t just Luke’s. I also want his children……”

“……Phii, let’s make them right away. I will do my best to make your wish true.”

“Hahaha, you seem energetic now. It’s all right, love isn’t just about connecting each other’s bodies. I talked about it with Philia last night, but there are lots of ways you can do it during pregnancy, like with the hands or mouthー……”

“You guys, have some shameeeeeee!!”

Once again, the shrieks of Nicolo echoed throughout the Duke’s mansion……

Once Michela and Nicolo returned home without any trouble, Luke and I decided to have tea in my room.

The scent of my new favorite tea spread across the room, and the colorful sweets and snacks whetted my appetite.

“It’s really been a while since I last had tea with you like this. Are you sure you have time?”

“Yeah, I have been managing work well for the past few days just for this and finally managed to get half a day off. That’s why I arranged for count Vieri to accompany me, I absolutely didn’t want anyone interrupting us.”

We had been frequently exchanging letters as a substitute for not being able to see each other, so we both knew what the other was up to.  Recently, I had only been telling him about Michela. I had also written that her fiancé was Count Vieri. Did he come up with that idea then?

Irrespective of his goal, I was pleasantly surprised at being able to meet Michela’s fiancé. Also, more than anything else, my mood had been enlivened because I was finally seeing Luke after a long time.

It was just, in contrast to my good mood, Luke’s complexion didn’t look good. He sipped his tea to moisten his lips but didn’t seem to be touching the snacks.

I wondered if he had pushed himself too hard to make some free time due to father being unreasonable with him.

I immediately reflected on myself. I was having so much fun that I forgot to pay attention to him. I placed my hand atop his. We were both sitting, but he was politely keeping his distance.

“Luke…… I’m sorry.”

“……? For what?”

“I was playing around while you were so busy and doing your best. How about you lie down if you aren’t feeling well? I will stay next to you so we can talk.”

“Not feeling well? No, I’m fine. I’ve cut my sleep down to its the bare minimum, but I’m still getting enough rest.”

Luke’s expression became complicated. Apparently, father’s side was also hopeless.

“But you haven’t eaten anything. I am eating everything once again.”

“Speaking of which, my appetite seems to have decreased…… I wonder if I’m feeling numb because I can’t eat what I want to eat the most.”

He tilted his head while staring at me, intertwining the fingers of our overlapping hands, connecting them.

I wasn’t not so dull as to not understand what he wanted to eat the most from the look in his eyes. He was only looking at me while connecting our hands together, but I felt a bit embarrassed, so I averted my eyes to hide this.

“Y-You see, it’s not right to say this to you, but I’m having more than enough fun in my current situation.”

“…… fun? Is Phii alright even when I’m not here?”

“Don’t misunderstand, it’s also painful for me to not be able to meet with Luke. But look, exchanging letters, looking forward to our meetings or drinking tea like this and talking about lots of things…… Are we like commonplace lovers?”

Whether it was writing a lot of letters to bury the loneliness of not being able to meet each other, getting excited when we were able to see each other, or feeling our hearts pound from just a simple kiss, those were all somethings which weren’t in our relationship until now.

I only realized it then, but we were acting like a pair of lovers. It made my maiden’s heart itchy.

“Our relationship began with, well, after a physical encounter…… When we do this, it makes my heart throb. It’s as if we are restarting our love.”

I realized that what I was saying was something embarrassing, but just the other day, I also realized that my words lacked consideration.

I felt as if my cheeks were on fire. I glanced at Luke while doing my best to keep myself in control despite writhing from shame in the corner of heart, but his head was drooping for some reason.

“Luke……?”

“…… How vexing.”

“Huh?”

“Please don’t say such cute things. I would be troubled if I came to like you even more…… Because I want you so badly, enduring this is hard for me.”

I felt so sorry for him when I heard his voice blurred from lust and dejection that I subconsciously caressed his platinum blonde hair.

Luke letting me pet him quietly like that was a bit cute. It was something which hadn’t changed since childhood. He exhaled lightly when my fingers touched his nape while I was caressing his slightly long hair.

An idea came to me at his amorous sigh.

“I wonder if it would be a violation of our promise if I am the one to feel you……?”

“? What do you mean…… sh, Phii?”

Luke raised a surprised voice when my hand touched his thigh.

The expression on his face was defenseless and filled with honest confusion. Then, when my fingers approach the base of his thigh, he gulped and his eyebrows knitted together.

“u, gh…… Phii, no… “

“Why? Michela said it right? Love isn’t just connecting our bodies.”

In the girl’s talk last night with Michela, I had confirmed that such acts from girls also exist in this world. There was no one to teach me, someone who had skipped the order and directly entered a physical relation with Luke before marriage, about matters regarding that until now.

When I touched his bulge, Luke seized my hand as his throat quivered.

“… I can’t, I can’t let you do that.”

His emerald eyes were moist, his cheeks flushed, and his too beautiful face was contorted in agony as he endured the sensuality. Not even his short breathing and hoarse voice couldn’t hide his passion, and it seemed painful.

I also replied back while feeling giddy from Luke’s spectacular sex appeal.

“Even though Luke is like this?”

“That’s because I really want to touch and taste your body. I’ve been needing to resist my urge to eat sometimes.”

“T, that’s, I think is a bit…… But I also want to make you feel good because you look so distressed. It’s also very natural for me to want to touch the one I like, too, isn’t it?”

“gh, Phii, I’ll really want to eat you if you say that with such an expression……”

I was annoyed at Luke who resisted despite how erotic his sigh of exasperation was so I tried to put my hand on his belt.

However even though I wanted to, I couldn’t win against his strength as he grasped my wrist and stopped me.

“…… You don’t have to hate it so much…”

“It’s not that I hate it but that I can’t. Because you’re thinking about doing it with…… your hand or something, right?”

I nodded for now. Luke was still blushing with embarrassment and seemed to have trouble saying it.

As usual, I didn’t get the standard of Luke’s shame. Why was it alright to tie me up but not get a hand job?

“…… I understand. But I’m worried, so eat dinner properly, okay?”

“Okay, I will pay attention.”

If it were someone else, I would have laughed at the idea of losing weight from frustration. When it comes to my fiancé, though, I can’t laugh after all. Luke opened his thin lips as if he knew I was still giving him a worried look.

” I rejected your offer, but…… can I request something?”

“Of course.”

“I want you to hug and kiss me”

Luke’s request was simple. He didn’t try to embellish his words, yet I hesitate.

“But…… Is that all right?”

“I will be fine. I will not let all our efforts until now be in vain. But…… I’m already at my limit. I want to hug you. I want to hug and kiss you a lot.”

Luke leaned closer and the gap opened between us closed instantly. I felt as if the air was getting thinner as I was entangled by Luke’s emerald green eyes, eyes oozing with deep lust. My lips opened thinly as if I were panting for air and Luke’s lip overlapped mine.

At first it was soft, as if he were biting my upper lip, but soon his tongue slipped in and deeply ravaged around.

“hnn…… Fuu…… “

He coveted my tongue as if he found sweet candy in it. There were shameful and sloppy wet sounds from our connected mouths, and saliva spilled from the corners of our wide open mouths.

The taste of Luke’s kiss. I immediately felt my heart melting when I thought of it.

I grabbed Luke’s shirt, feeling the unreliability of my limpid body. As if he understood, he supported my back and slowly collapsed us on the couch.

Our lips didn’t separate during that time and a secret nasal voice leaked out as his tongue thoroughly licked around my mouth.

“hnnn, hhn… “

The weight of Luke, which I hadn’t felt in a long time, made the tips of my breasts tingle within the corset. Then Luke’s finger removed my hairpins as he impatiently ran his fingers through my hair.

……Just the kiss alone felt as good as if I had climaxed…

Unconsciously, I tightly held Luke’s waist between my thighs. I was unable to calm down. It was as if something was crawling under my skin, especially around the tips of my breasts while the insides of my thighs were throbbing painfully.

I immediately wanted to tear away clothes that were keeping us apart and tightly connect our bodies.

Maybe because our feelings were mutual, I didn’t resist Luke’s hand as it entered my skirt. Just the thin fabric of the drawer frustrated me.

“Ahhn.”

When his hands touched the shamefully wet underwear, my body jumped in surprise.

“Huff…… aa, it’s all right. I will try not to touch your skin.”

When Luke said that through his shallow and painful breathing, what I immediately felt was disappointment. Tears were oozing out from pleasure and suffocation as his hands slowly caressed the chasm where my damp underwear was sticking.

“Ahn, ahh…… N, ooo……hh”

“Elder sister…… Please, I will only touch…”

When Luke sweetly pleaded for permission, I shook my head.

“You, are wrong…… Feel free……”

“What…… ?”

“Feels really, good…… More…”

I felt my body heat up at the words that came out of my mouth. I was thinking of making Luke endure it, but maybe I was the same as him. My body, which had been made love to its limits every night, wanted him more than I realized.

I was afraid that Luke would be taken aback by my refusal to touch him, but when I saw his face, my worry instantly disappeared.

“Ahh…… Elder sister…… Why did you…”

Luke swallowed his word and kissed me fiercely, tenderly nibbling on them as he slowly shifted his body. His lips moved from the bulges on my chest through the dress, to my navel, and then going down even further, he lifted my voluminous skirt and kissed the depths of my parted thighs.

“Ahhn…… Ah, aaaah”

“Your scent…… It’s sweeter than usual. This much flowed out just from kissing.”

As he promised not to touch my skin, everything was through the clothes. Yet when his lips touched the overflowing wet area, my insides twitched from feeling a different sensation. It was unlike the feeling of being directly touch.

His tongue frustratingly insistent on teasing my clitoris despite my garments which prevented his invasions. He gently grinded on the puckered flesh bud.

“Ahhhhhn”

“…… hhn, elder sister, more……?”

“Um…… Yeah, a, ahhn”

I replied as my back arched and I pressed my embarrassing place against Luke’s lips.

He gouged my wet place with his fingers as he sucked and licked sensitive bud. My underwear was so wet that it was useless, and I could hear the soggy sound of Luke’s fingers as they moved back and forth.

It all felt so frustrating, but it was also scary.

Something was rising from my lower area, threatening to overflow.

“Haa…… Ah, aaaaah… “

My body shuddered irregularly as I let out a naturally high-pitched cry. Suddenly the sensation of Faraway returned and strength seeped out of my languid body.

I wanted to be immersed in the feeling of sweet sluggishness after my climax but Luke’s fingers and tongue were still there.

“… Ahn, Luke…… No, more… “

Although my body was exhausted from pleasure after a long time, when his familiar thin lips nibbled on my oversensitive bud, despite having just climaxed, the hot thing was still overflowing from within.

“Fu, ah…… Ahhn”

“…… That was the first time elder sister requested it.”

Luke raised a bewitching smile while simply stating that, licking away the wetness from his lips in no time.

“Because no matter how painful, it feels a lot better, doesn’t it……?”

“…… Hiii, ahhhhn”

I was repeatedly stimulated in a way that made me almost beg to be touched directly.

It went without saying I, who lost in the momentary desire, regretted saying that single word amidst the pleasure.

Philia, who was made to climax repeatedly in her dress, fell asleep in the arms of Luke, partly due to her recent lack of sleep.

Once her skirt was adjusted, she looked like a beautifully dressed young lady merely dozing off, but her skin was glossy and flushed, and there were traces of tears around her eyes.

Thanks to Angela and others who were highly excited by Michela, that day’s Philia was so brilliant that it was hard to believe she was in her residence. Especially her wide open collar, it accentuated her beautiful nape and chest. Her white bulges that were being pushed up by the corset gave the glimpse of a soft valley.

Luke, who was repeatedly kissing her lips spilling out tiny breaths with lingering attachment, stared at her chest.

“…… Jiggly.”

The sad voice of a man in the midst of abstinence echoed in vain and disappeared.
