I Need the True Ending to Graduate - Chapter 80

“Ah….”

As if to show how much his heart had suffered all this time, his lips, dry and parched, touched mine. Salty tears seeped between our pressed lips.

I stood there awkwardly, unable to push him away, yet unable to accept him either.

If this were simply to humiliate me or subject me to shame like usual, I could have accepted it calmly, but right now, the person before me was crying because of me.

At times like this, shouldn’t comforting and soothing him come before kissing? That faint thought crossed my mind, and I cautiously pushed him away.

However, Evan Bell seemed to take my stiff reaction as nothing more than brief embarrassment and hesitation at the sudden kiss.

He pulled me into his arms even more deeply, licking and nibbling at my lips, showering me with a sweet kiss intense enough to make my ears burn bright red without my realizing it.

“Hmph.”

Each time Evan Bell’s tongue and lips touched me, heat rose thickly from my lower abdomen, and I flinched, my body trembling.

Even a light kiss was enough for my body to heat up quickly, growing warm with arousal.

The moment I parted my lips slightly to steady my heated breathing, Evan Bell tilted his head and kissed me even more deeply, invading my mouth.

“Mmh, Evan….”

The instant I called out to him in confusion, my words were swallowed whole by Evan Bell’s lips.

I hurriedly pounded at Evan Bell’s chest, but he did not budge. Completely absorbed, he traced my tender inner flesh and sucked on my tongue.

When the tip of his tongue wrapped around mine and licked it, a sharp sensation raced up my spine. My toes curled inward as my body shook.

The stimulation felt so intense it was as if my brain were melting, my senses growing hazy as reason shattered and scattered.

“Hng….”

The hands that had been pounding against Evan Bell’s chest gradually lost their strength.

The moment my arms fell limply downward, Evan Bell, as if he’d been waiting for it, cradled the back of my head and thrust his tongue inside. It was a greedy movement, as though he meant to fill my mouth entirely with himself.

I accepted his tongue without any presence of mind. Each time my breath ran short, Evan Bell pulled his lips away, but only for a brief moment.

The instant I took even a single breath, he devoured my lips and tongue again.

Saliva melted softly between the tips of our tongues.

I clung to Evan Bell, pushing aside the fact that he had been crying because of me, the fact that I had hurt him, and even the uncertain suspicion that the reason he both loved and hated me might be tied to a past of his that had not yet been unlocked.

After a long while of entangling tongues in deep silence, when Evan Bell’s parched lips had grown slick with my saliva and were no longer stinging, our lips finally parted.

“Haa….”

“Huh….”

Breath laced with shallow moans spilled from both Evan Bell’s mouth and mine.

Our roughened breathing heated the bedroom, and the thin silvery strand connecting our wet lips snapped in the middle, like our reason breaking apart.

Evan Bell ran his tongue over lips wet with saliva that might have been mine or his.

The tongue that had roamed my mouth as if it belonged to him now traced over the place where our lips had pressed deeply together.

The pair of eyes set in his face glowed a vivid blue, as if he had never cried, staring at me as though he meant to swallow me whole.

“Evan….”

Faced with that strangely alluring sight, I couldn’t bring myself to continue speaking and could only stare blankly. My face was already burning hot.

Evan Bell quietly studied my eyes, then reached out and gently stroked my flushed ear. At the tenderness of that touch, the first I had ever received from him, my breath trembled as it slipped from between my lips.

Evan Bell looked at my face, damp with heat, and asked in a low voice, “Lucia. Is it all right if we go to the bed?”

I blinked slowly.

On the bed, I was always the one receiving Evan Bell’s commands, and I was the one who followed him. He’d never once asked for my will or my consent.

This side of Evan Bell felt unfamiliar, yet at the same time, I thought this must be his true self.

Not the empire’s most famous commoner and businessman, nor the vile, cold-blooded man who had offered me a contract, nor the sadist who loathed me so deeply that he wanted to enjoy watching me suffer in shame.

But the real Evan Bell.

Evan Bell, who had stopped pretending to be cruel, was a man who melted the other person sweetly with his tongue and then, with a face gentler than anything, asked for consent.

‘I really don’t know how you managed to act so cold all this time.’

Even though you can look at me with such a warm face.

Seeing this unfamiliar side of Evan Bell for the first time since possessing the game, I felt a little dumbfounded, and also found it cute, so I let out a small laugh.

It was a smile that passed in a fleeting instant, but Evan Bell’s gaze remained fixed on me, unable to pull away.

Meeting Evan Bell’s gaze as it poured down on me, I reached out and quietly wiped away the tear tracks left on his cheek.

As my thumb brushed against his sunken, gaunt cheek, a faint blush quickly rose. Then I looked straight at him.

The answer to Evan Bell’s question was already decided.

“Let’s go to the bed, Evan.”

“….”

“No, take me to the bed.”

***

6 p.m.

The time I was supposed to meet Evan Bell in his office, I was instead rolling around with him in his bedroom.

The soft feel of the bedding, which I hadn’t been able to properly notice the last time he’d called me at dawn, wrapped comfortably around my back, and Evan Bell climbed over me and pressed his lips to mine.

Our lips parted easily, and our tongues tangled in no time.

Evan Bell swept over my tongue and tender inner flesh with passionate hunger, as if he wanted to swallow me whole, then suddenly, as if regaining his senses, kissed me gently, coaxing me instead.

It seemed he was torn between the desire to push me down roughly and take me greedily, and the conviction that he needed to handle me slowly, softly, and carefully so I wouldn’t be afraid.

Even though I’d already given him permission to be rough, I couldn’t tell why he hesitated so much, but even that felt quite lovely.

The way he wanted to hold me roughly right away and satisfy his possessiveness, yet was careful because he was afraid I might get hurt, was no different from a man desperately in love.

The kisses of a man who loved me more than he hated me were sweet.

I closed my eyes, wrapped my arms around Evan Bell’s neck, and more actively tangled my tongue with his, pressing my lips to his.

“Haah.”

For a moment, Evan Bell seemed to suck in a sharp breath, his body stiffening. It looked like he hadn’t expected me to pull him in, his surprise plain to see.

But the stiffness didn’t last long. As if a fire had been lit by my touch, he pulled me tightly into his arms and began to devour my mouth roughly.

“Hh.”

At the sticky sensation of tender inner flesh rubbing together, my body trembled. A subtle stimulation spread through the friction of our lips and mucosa.

Even as my body shook with pleasure, I didn’t avoid Evan Bell as he invaded me fiercely. I parted my lips and offered my tongue, accepting him.

As if he’d noticed the intent behind that small gesture, Evan Bell’s breathing grew ragged. Hot breath brushed against my face. Mine was probably the same.

For a long while, the bedroom was filled only with the sound of roughened breathing, the sickly moans leaking from lips pressed together, and the sticky friction of saliva rubbing together.

When it felt as if the temperature in the room had risen by about one degree, Evan Bell’s lips finally parted. The arms that had been wrapped around his neck lost their strength and naturally fell onto the bed.

I panted for breath and looked up at Evan Bell. His eyes, sunk in a faint bluish darkness, were already consumed by pitch-black desire.

They were eyes I had seen many times before, yet never once like this.

Overwhelmed by the enormous desire he possessed, my body trembled with anticipation and excitement.

Seeing this, Evan Bell quietly asked, “Are you cold?”

“….”

“Should I close the window and light the fireplace?”

Despite it being a season when summer was approaching, Evan Bell asked with a serious expression, as if he truly intended to turn on the heat.

As he spoke, he reached out and gently caressed my cheek where fine hairs stood on end, then slowly traced down my arm over the thin shirt. His hot body temperature seeped through the fabric and spread gradually throughout my entire body.

I shook my head. “No, I’m fine. More importantly… hurry up. Let’s do the next thing.”

“….”

“I want to, Evan.”

I pulled Evan Bell’s hand that had been stroking my cheek and kissed it, seducing him.

Each time I pressed my lips between his palm and finger joints, Evan Bell’s large body twitched. The breathing that had briefly settled began to grow rough again.

“Hm? Evan.”

When I looked up at Evan Bell while licking up his fingers, he lunged at me like a beast, as if his reason had completely snapped.

“…Lucia.”

“Hngh…!”

Evan Bell buried his face in my collarbone and made wet sounds as he sucked at my skin. Both hands were urgently stripping off my clothes.

“Haa. Lucia, Lucia….”

As he muttered my name like a madman, releasing the desire he’d been holding back, and left deep kisses along my neck and collarbone, my shirt slipped down.

Evan Bell immediately slipped his hand behind my back and pulled down the underwear I was wearing.

In an instant, my shirt and underwear were removed, and my bare upper body was completely exposed to him.

At Evan Bell’s naked gaze stabbing into my upper body, I felt embarrassed for no reason, covered my chest with both arms, and turned my head away to avoid his eyes.

“Don’t look. It’s a little embarrassing….”

I’d shown Evan Bell my masturbating appearance, and I had offered him my lower body several times, but I had never once shown him my upper body.

I hadn’t thought much of it with Ruad or Jeran, but with Evan Bell, for some reason, I became conscious of it.

I thought it might be less embarrassing to sit on his thigh, take suspicious medicine, and have my lower body stirred up instead.

Watching me, Evan Bell carefully grasped my wrist, moved my arm aside, and kissed my flushed cheek.

“You’re really beautiful. So don’t cover yourself.”

“Ah, Evan.”

“I’ll make this feel good too. You said you wanted to do it with me first, so you have to take responsibility, Lucia.”

“That’s true, but, hh, ah…!”

The wrist held in his hand seemed to be bound together, and in an instant, it was fixed above my head against the bed. The lips that had been resting on my cheek were now licking up the nipple that had stiffened.

“Ah, hh….”

At the sharp pleasure flowing through the sensitive tip, my waist twisted tightly and my hips lifted. I could feel, in real time, how wet it was becoming below.

Evan Bell used his other hand to fully grasp my breast and knead it. Then, from time to time, he flicked my nipple with his fingertips, sending jolts of stimulation through me.

Each time, my body flailed in arousal like a fish thrown onto land.

“Ahh, hh, ah, Evan… that… hhng!”

“It’s fine, Lucia. Just feel it. I’ll make it feel even better.”
