Elysia closed her eyes tightly at the suffocating sensation and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Wife, you can’t say such a thing. You should know now.”

It was a suppressed voice like he was struggling.

She smiled and stroked Cassian’s face.

“You know… I’m trying to see that face right now. Hurry…”

His face became even more ferocious at her urging words, as if he had expected that she would struggle to push him away. Her body tightened as she felt the nape of her neck getting bitten.

The pleasure he gave while sucking blood and the lips he touched became more and more distant. She couldn’t calm down at all, even though his hand had swept her waist, trying to relieve her tension.

Elysia stretched out her hand to try to stop the gesture that was still continuing though it didn’t work. She was afraid to rush towards the end of the sensations that overpowered her.

“Oh, Cassian, I can’t stand it.”

It was a dark battle with the blinking sight.

* * *

Elysia, feeling a hand running through her hair slowly, tried to regain her senses. She let out a sigh and opened her eyes to see Cassian’s face.

“Cassian?”

He had a strange face like he was looking at her with concern, or something ironic, like he was on the verge of playing a joke.

“You woke up.”

Her face went white as she tried to remember when she fell asleep. It looked like they were really entangled with each other. As Cassian pressed his lips to her forehead and held her in his arms, Elysia let out a sigh of relief at his fresh kiss without any strange feeling.

“I’m sorry.”

Glancing at his face, he seemed surprised as well.

It felt strange to receive an apology because she passed out because it was so good that she couldn’t stand it. She was contemplating whether to say it was okay or to be careful, but it was no longer necessary for Cassian.

“I’ll adjust it a bit for a while. Everything was impossible from the beginning.”

Like trying to guess if he was serious, she stared at him. Elysia, who was quietly leaning on his arms, opened her mouth at a sudden thought.

“I think it’s a skill that suits you very well.”

When she finally said it, she laughed, thinking that it was so. From the moment she first met him, even after he became a vampire, he seemed to be really tireless in seducing her. Even that ability had become one of his means.

Just then, she felt someone approaching the bedroom. Cardel was the only one who came to call her directly like this.

“Mother, it’s Hail.”

As Cardel tossed that word out and went upstairs again, she could hear the footsteps receding.

It meant that Hail had arrived.

Meanwhile, Cassian seemed very annoyed for being interrupted at an important moment, and then he suddenly raised his mouth and smiled. Elysia suddenly wondered what was wrong with him.

“Are you the kind of person who can’t stand being curious about things?”

“…Do I?”

Elysia nodded her head and covered his mouth in surprise.

“Cassian. You have to keep that ability a secret, especially in front of Cardel.”

At her words, he rolled his eyes and smiled before kissing her palm that was covering his mouth.

“Huht—”

Elysia bit her lip, and she immediately removed her hand.

“Are you ashamed?”

“Of course.”

“If you want.”

“Even to Hail! If he knows, Cardell will know as well.”

* * *

“Honey, why are you here so late?”

Hail, who was playing with Der in Cardel’s office, saw Elysia with resentment and widened his eyes, surprised to see Cassian.

“He’s here, honey? I heard your man woke up. I guess he’s real. Is he really like you now?”

Cassian walked past Hail and headed for the sofa, holding Elysia in his arms.

“It’s amazing, I can’t read you man’s thoughts now.”

Hail seemed to conclude that he couldn’t read all vampire’s thoughts.

“That is very fortunate.”

“Your smells are all mixed up.”

Hail glanced at Elysia and Cassian alternately, asking how close they were. The next moment, he circled around Cassian, glancing around and asked.

“So, what is your man capable of?

“Don’t pay attention to it.”

“Then, I will see for myself.”

Saying so, Hail smiled eerily and grabbed Cassian’s wrist. Elysia furrowed her brow at a speed that she couldn’t even stop.

“….?”

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing?! You knocked my energy out.”

Cassian shook off Hail’s hand that was holding his wrist in annoyance.

“Isn’t it natural to push out the strange energy that enters my body?

Elysia, who had been quietly watching the two of them, grabbed Cassian by the collar and asked.

“You can do that…?”

“I can do it.”

Intending to inform her later, Cassian kissed the ends of Elysia’s hair and smiled. Hail burst into anger seeing him like that.

Cassian said that he couldn’t tell because he was busy with paperwork and suddenly took away the work Cardel was handling. Cardel, who had to deal with all the paperwork so suddenly, ran away, leaving the rest to his father.

Hail, who looked at Cardel’s back dumbfounded, grabbed Elysia again and stretched out.

“Honey, are you really not going to tell me? Huh?”

Cassian, who had been watching the situation quietly, opened his mouth as he removed Hail’s hand from Elysia’s arm.

“Honey, will you let me know if I write you a contract to never say ‘honey’ again.”

“What? A contract?”

Cassian criticized Hail for being so thorough about something like this.

“I’m just annoyed to hear that for the rest of my life.”

“You? We’ll be listening to it.”

Cassian gave him a cool look, and he said to make a choice, either to wonder for the rest of his life or to give up calling Elysia honey.

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

He added a word to Hail, who floated a contract in the air after saying he would gladly do so.

“You can’t call anything like a lover based on human standards, and it’s a secret from Cardel.”

Cassian looked at Elysia and smiled as if asking for praise.

“What? How is that? Isn’t that a total scam?”

“Then, don’t do it if you don’t like it.”

As Cassian shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing to regret, Hail finished signing the contract with a face of regret. When he asked permission from Cassian as if he would check it himself, Hail’s face spread with joy as he grabbed his hand and pushed his energy directly into it.

“Let’s just kiss once.”

Frightened by Hail’s words, Elysia pulled Cassian, who was sitting on the sofa, into her arms.

“Are you crazy? Why don’t you just go?”

“It won’t wear out. Just once.”

“Don’t think about coming before the next ten years.”

Elysia added, as if talking to herself, saying that she only had it for one day, while Cassian, who was burying his face in her arms, laughed at how funny it was and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Wow— Elysia, isn’t that too mean? Was our love just this?”

Cassian, who suddenly stood up from his seat while hugging her, looked at Hail with a face that really wanted to kill him.

“Wife. Hail is not allowed to enter the bedroom we shared before, right?”

“Yes.”

“That’s a relief, isn’t it?”

He then grinned and blew magic into the ring Elysia was wearing.

* * *

Elysia, who had come to their bedroom in Duke Esteban’s residence, frowned as she remembered Hail.

“What if he keeps doing that?”

“Don’t worry, he won’t.”

She was worried that Hail wouldn’t give up. Even if they kissed, it would be fine if Cassian didn’t use his ability, though wouldn’t their lips overlap? An ominous feeling came over her as if they would try to run away from time to time like before.

“He won’t stay still.”

“He will. However…”

Cassian looped Elysia’s waist and tilted his head.

“Doesn’t the wife want to kiss me?”

“Let’s do it from here. Do you want to continue if you feel like it?”

Elysia put her arms around his neck and kissed him, saying, ‘Let’s try a light kiss first.’ The next moment, she pushed him away as if she had forgotten about it.

“Ah, let’s tidy up this bedroom now. Don’t you think we’ll be coming here?”

They thought they could do that now. Even if there were no place to reminisce like this, he would always be by her side.

“We will.”

As she heard Cassian’s low laugh, Elysia realized the meaning, and their lips met again. She glanced at the ring on her little finger and thought she should draw a new magic circle.

“I have to go find Cardel, too.”

“It hasn’t been long since he ran away? You have to give him time to hide.”

Elysia seemed to know where Cardel had gone, but she didn’t say it because he thought it might be fun to find out for herself.
