~Chapter 18~

You Really Shouldn’t Tease Me Like This

The sunset that had filled the room slowly faded, and the calm of night began to take over.

Conrad’s hand slid from Regina’s shoulder down to the edge of her robe, brushing her collarbone.

“……!”

Regina flinched but didn’t move away.

When Conrad’s finger touched the crescent moon-shaped seal on her skin, Regina’s throat bobbed.

Crackle—

A small light flashed, and a familiar heat spread through her body. Startled, Regina swayed, and Conrad caught her.

“Are you all right?”

He held her close and whispered in her ear.
As darkness settled, Regina’s face turned red.

Where Conrad’s finger touched, their magic exchanged in a gentle current, filling her with warmth.

“I’m fine.”

Her magic was still sealed. But as the heat grew stronger, her breath quickened.

Conrad carried Regina to the bed and laid her down.

Their noses almost touched as they looked into each other’s eyes.

Both could sense the tension, quietly reading each other’s gaze.

They knew what would happen next and what needed to be done.

Sharing their wedding night would deepen their magical connection—it was necessary, especially to restore their strength and break the barrier.

‘I thought tonight was just a means to an end… so why is my heart beating so fast?’

As Conrad’s breath brushed her lips, Regina felt a soft touch.

He kissed her lightly, then pulled away.
Regina’s mind was fully captured by the fleeting touch.

Sitting up, Conrad looked down at Regina and loosened the tightly tied robe. The rustle of the fabric seemed loud in the quiet room.

“Open your lips.”

Regina, barely able to breathe, met Conrad’s blue eyes and took a slow breath.

As she licked her dry lips, Conrad’s gaze followed her every move.

His steady eyes suddenly wavered.

His large, rough hand gripped her chin. Regina didn’t refuse.

Feeling the weight of his gaze, Regina looked away and let her eyes roam over his face—his sharp nose, firmly pressed lips, and a new kind of longing in his eyes.

A dizzying sensation spread through her body. Her fingers tingled, and heat rushed through her from deep inside.

As Conrad’s face moved closer, Regina shut her eyes tight.

His lips brushed her forehead, her cheeks.

The feather-light kisses didn’t stop at one, landing gently everywhere, soft as if comforting something precious.

A ticklish, warm feeling made her heart pound. His lips brushed past her nose, then touched the corner of her eye.

The moment her trembling eyelashes lifted, she met Conrad’s eyes—darkened with layered desire.

Regina stopped breathing.

“Open.”

His voice was gentle, but held an insistent heat.

Regina slowly parted her lips. Conrad didn’t hesitate as he deepened the kiss.

He was no longer gentle—his hot tongue traced her lower lip, stealing her breath.

When their lips parted for a moment, Regina gasped, but his tongue slipped inside, making her eyes fly open.

“Ugh!”

The breath she couldn’t finish was swallowed by Conrad’s lips.

The heat from his tongue spread through her whole body.

Her breath came faster, and everywhere his hands touched burned.

Conrad pressed closer, and when their lips finally parted, the heat lingered between them.

Their gazes locked, both of them breathless and trembling with desire.

For a moment, everything stopped as if they were caught in each other’s fire.

Regina reached for Conrad, her shaking hand brushing his cheek. He bowed his head to her shoulder.

When her hand wrapped around his neck, their ragged breaths mixed and her robe slipped away.

“Relax.”

His whisper was full of longing.

His hot tongue traced her ear. The wet, sticky sound made her ear tingle with a little pain that turned into heated longing.

He nibbled and licked her earlobe, then kissed down her long neck, leaving red marks behind.

As he licked the marks, Conrad sat up, revealing his firm upper body. Regina swallowed hard, her eyes and cheeks flushed.

As his eyes drifted lower, Conrad cupped her face.

“If you don’t want to, we don’t have to do it tonight.”

His low voice brushed her ear, making her shiver.

Regina’s hands twisted the bed sheets, but Conrad’s eyes never left her.

‘Not want to…?’

The magic she felt from his touch was burning—something Regina needed desperately.

She saw many emotions in Conrad’s eyes—anticipation, secret excitement, and tension.

Conrad waited, motionless, for her answer.

Regina gave a small nod.

“Tonight is our first night, so…”

Before she could finish, Conrad’s lips covered hers again.
From that moment, Regina couldn’t escape him.

Conrad pressed closer, nibbling at her throat, moving to her shoulder and leaving marks.

He saw the first mark he’d left and grinned.

“Beautiful.”

His gaze traced down her body, making Regina tremble. Conrad’s mouth was dry, and his tongue swept over his lips, desire clear in his eyes.

Regina tried to cover herself, but Conrad caught her wrist and lifted it over her head.

As she twisted in embarrassment, Conrad lowered his head again.

“Ah!”

A dizzying sensation made Regina cry out softly.

He didn’t let go, and Regina had no way to escape as Conrad claimed her again and again.

His breathing grew rougher.

“W-wait…”

Regina’s legs squirmed at the overwhelming sensation, her knee brushing his hard stomach.

As he pressed his face against her, Conrad breathed heavily, as if barely holding himself back.

“You really shouldn’t tease me like this.”

He was already struggling not to be rougher.

His deep voice sent chills down Regina’s spine.
She froze in surprise, and Conrad’s eyes curved in a smile.

He enjoyed every part of her softness as he whispered,

“I gave you a chance, Regina.”

“N-no, ah!”

“If you’d said no, I would have stopped.”

But Regina didn’t dislike it.

The tingling pleasure was everywhere, and she didn’t know what to do.

Hearing her name from his lips was like a spell, making her unable to think.

With shaking hands, Regina clung to Conrad and closed her eyes tight.

He kissed her lips as he reached down.

“……!”

A shock hit her lower stomach.

Regina trembled, trying to close her legs, but Conrad’s strong hand on her thigh wouldn’t let her.

“You can’t. After teasing me like this, you can’t run away.”

Her bitten lower lip swelled, shining with his saliva.

Conrad stared at her lips, then slowly lowered his face again.
