Dirty Heart - Chapter 27

“Ah, ngh….”

A faint moan drifting in broke Lionel’s deep sleep. The moment his tightly shut eyelids slowly opened, he immediately scanned his surroundings.

“…?”

He could barely remember when he had come to the inn and fallen asleep. The headache from motion sickness hadn’t fully faded yet, but a strange sense of unease made him slowly push himself up.

“Mm… haah….”

The moan came again, sharpening his awareness even further. It was unmistakably Courtney’s voice.

Shh—. As he moved toward the sound of running water from the bathroom, the presence became even clearer.

“Courtney…?”

When he finally opened the bathroom door carefully, Lionel’s face stiffened. The sight before him was something he had never expected.

Courtney lay in the small round bathtub, looking like someone who had fainted. If not for the moans slipping from her lips, he would have thought she had completely lost consciousness.

“What the hell is this?”

“Mm, haah, haah….”

Even though her entire body was submerged in ice-cold water, the woman’s face was flushed red. The beads of sweat on her smooth forehead made her look like she was suffering from a severe fever.

Quickly turning off the faucet, he hurriedly lifted her up. The wet dress clung tightly to her skin, revealing her pale body without concealment.

“Ah, ngh!”

The moment his hands touched her, Courtney thrashed violently. Her eyes, tilted up toward Lionel, were filled with raw desire.

“Ugh… Young Duke.”

“Courtney, get a hold of yourself. What’s wrong, huh?”

“My body is too hot….”

Her muttered voice was thick with despair. The heat that couldn’t be cooled even by cold water seemed to have tormented her for quite some time.

Laying Courtney down on the bed, Lionel tried to assess the situation. It didn’t seem like a simple fever. If anything, the way she reacted excessively even to the slightest touch made her seem like someone under the influence of an aphrodisiac.

“No way.”

At that moment, Lionel’s gaze shifted to an empty bottle on the table.

“Courtney. Did you drink all of this by yourself?”

A design of a snake coiled around a rose stem. The moment he recognized the small symbol engraved on the label, his expression hardened.

The liquor known as ‘La Vie en Rose’ was commonly used by prostitutes, a product infused with a special aphrodisiac.

It was also an old custom. Prostitutes would go around inns placing red wine and snacks in front of each room. If a guest brought the food inside, it was taken as a signal to call a prostitute immediately.

Though such practices had disappeared in the capital due to strict crackdowns, they were still secretly carried on in rural inns like this.

“Ha, seriously.”

Seeing Courtney exposed to the drug, Lionel let out a hollow laugh.

“You’ve got a real talent for causing trouble, don’t you?”

First, she suddenly said she liked another man and tried to break things off. Then she returned as if nothing happened, saying it was all a lie. Then she became a sex symbol talked about by everyone. And now she was out of her mind, intoxicated by an aphrodisiac.

“…Young Duke. Ha… what’s wrong with me? It’s so, hard….”

Courtney’s panting figure filled Lionel’s vision. After staring at her for a long moment, as if she were completely out of her mind, he slowly shook his head.

There was only one way to escape the effects of the aphrodisiac. To bite, suck, and caress a partner until the overwhelming heat of lust was fully relieved.

“Just endure it a little longer.”

Whispering low, he began to undo the buttons of her dress one by one. Perhaps because she had been submerged in water for so long, her pale skin was swollen all over. Because of that, even undressing her took quite some time.

Soon, when her naked body was fully revealed without a single thread on it, Lionel’s throat bobbed slightly. It was a body he had already seen countless times, yet for some reason, it made it hard to breathe.

Spreading her legs wide, he carefully parted the wet pubic hair that clung like soaked seaweed. Perhaps she had already tried to relieve herself several times on her own, the clitoris, crushed into a mess, looked pitiful to the point of sympathy.

“You tormented something this pretty like this.”

Letting out a faint chuckle, he reached out and pressed down on her clitoris.

“Ah, ngh!”

Even though he had only lightly touched it, the slick fluid flowing from between her folds soaked the bedsheets completely.

“Ah, why, why….”

“Hm? What was that?”

When the man didn’t continue any further, Courtney grabbed his wrist and whimpered like a child.

“P-Please… hurry… don’t stop… please….”

At her desperate plea, Lionel lifted her chin. The tear-filled eyes looking up at him seemed unbelievably beautiful. A strange sadistic urge rose within him, making him want to subjugate her like this forever.

“Beg me more.”

“Please… sob, please… I feel like I’m going to go crazy….”

“And when you were rolling around so well with other bastards.”

Of course, from the start, he had never believed the scandal that Courtney had been involved with multiple men. If something like that had truly happened, his father’s subordinates would never have missed it.

What he was truly curious about was something else entirely. The fundamental question of how much she knew of the truth.

Did she already know that, in the near future, her heart was destined to be offered to him?

If she knew all of this, then her heart would be filled with nothing but anger and betrayal.

If that was the case, then did she truly not have even a shred of love left in her heart? Was the woman who used to confess her desperate love to him with an innocent face already gone completely? Even though he knew these were meaningless questions, he still wanted to confirm it.

“…Ah.”

“Say you love me, Courtney.”

At last, she broke into loud sobs. It seemed she had reached her limit from the unrelieved desire.

“…I love you.”

“Again.”

“I love you, I love you so, so much….”

A smile spread across the man’s face after confirming her love. Of course, it was obvious the words were nothing but lies.

“Courtney, remember this. Until the day you die, your heart belongs only to me. Got it?”

“Mm… sob.”

Courtney nodded frantically. She wasn’t in her right mind, so she didn’t even seem to realize what she was agreeing to.

Soon, he buried his face between her legs and pulled her soft hips down right to his face.

His bright red tongue licked up her swollen clitoris while repeatedly sucking at the drenched opening. Slurp, suck. The sounds of cunnilingus echoed lewdly throughout the inn room.

“Ah, ngh! Hah! It’s too, too much stimulation… ngh…!”

Her waist jerked up violently, but the more she moved, the more he pressed down on her rounded hips, keeping Courtney completely pinned in place.

Slurp, suck. Until his handsome face was soaked all over with her fluids, Lionel kept moving his tongue without pause, driving Courtney toward climax. As if he intended to drink up every drop that came from her body, every motion was unbearably desperate.

“This won’t do.”

“Sniff, wh-what….”

“Maybe it’s because you drank aphrodisiac wine, but I can’t hold back either.”

“Ugh, haah!”

In a hurry, he removed his lower garments and pressed his already fully erect cock against her entrance. The breath spilling from his lips grew rougher. Even the surrounding air seemed to heat up and tighten.

“Mm! Hah…!”

Rubbing the tip slowly while watching her reactions, Lionel finally thrust his hips forward with force. The obscene sound of wet friction rang out, and at the same time, his brow furrowed sharply.

“Tight like this, and you say—.”

He became convinced the claim that she had been with over a hundred men was nonsense. As if her body remembered only Lionel for her entire life, the way it clung tightly along the shape of his cock was nothing short of intoxicating.

Even so, he couldn’t deny the rumors of Courtney being promiscuous. The woman being pounded before him wore the face of an unparalleled temptress.

“Ah, sniff. Mm!”

Far more aroused than usual, Lionel ground his hips and continued thrusting. It was hard to believe this was the same man who had been limp like a corpse all day. He looked half out of his mind.

Her flushed face as she whimpered, the way her lower abdomen quivered each time he drove in with force, everything made his senses spin.

“Hah, mm! Ah, it’s too, ngh…! Young Duke, mm!”

“Feels that good?”

“Mm, I’m going to, going to come again, haah!”

After lifting one of her legs onto his shoulder, Lionel drove his cock all the way in with even more force.

Thud, thud, thud. Brutal thrusts continued, enough to make her insides reverberate. The pink folds were dragged in and out along with the piston-like motion, repeating endlessly.

“Mm…!”

Once again, she reached climax.
