My Husband Is Definitely a Paladin — Chapter 34

ALL I EVER WANTED WAS...

I-I CAN'T POSSIBLY...

IGNORE IT IN THIS STATE.

SIR MICHAEL'S BODY...

IT'S NOT LIKE IN MY PAST LIFE WHERE HE LOST HIS SANITY DUE TO DEMONIC POWER,

COULD IT REALLY BE BECAUSE OF ME-

TH-

THAT IS, UM,

I-I'M-

HUH?

IRENE!

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

I-I'M OKAY.

MAKING ALL THAT FUSS, FLUSTERED, AND EVEN FALLING INTO THE LAKE.

IT'S SO EMBARRASSING...

I AM SORRY.

IF ONLY I HAD BEEN A LITTLE FASTER,

I WOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU GO.

THINKING THAT I MIGHT HAVE MADE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SUDDEN PHYSICAL CONTACT,

I HESITATED IN MY JUDGMENT FOR A MOMENT.

‘IF ONLY I...’

‘HAD BEEN A LITTLE FASTER—’

WHY DID THOSE WORDS...

MAKE MY HEART ACHE SO MUCH?

I-I’M REALLY OKAY... THOUGH...

FALLING INTO THE LAKE WAS ALSO BECAUSE I WAS FLUSTERED...

IT’S NOT THAT TOUCHING SIR MI...CHAEL WAS UNCOMFORTABLE OR THAT I DISLIKED IT,

REALLY, TRULY, I WAS JUST SURPRISED...

AS IF I WERE STILL UNDERWATER,

MY HEART WAS POUNDING,

AND THE KISS OF BREATHLESS GASPS...

AH,

SIR MICHAEL, THE WOUND THAT WASN'T PURIFIED EARLIER IS STILL...

IF I TRY PURIFYING IT AGAIN NOW...

IRENE.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE YOUR POWER OF PURIFICATION.

AS I TOLD YOU, I AM NOT SEEKING PURIFICATION.

BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT IS PRECIOUS TO ME...

IS RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES RIGHT NOW.

—AS IF TO PERSONALLY PROVE THOSE WORDS,

HE CARESSED MY BODY VERY GENTLY,

AS IF IT WERE A SACRED RELIC THAT MIGHT SHATTER AT ANY MOMENT,

AND AS IF OFFERING A PRAYER TO THE GODDESS,

HE PRESSED HIS LIPS IN THE LOWEST POSTURE.

ON MY FOREHEAD AND HAIR,

MY EYELASHES,

THE HELIX OF MY EAR,

MY LIPS AND CHEEK,

TRACING DOWN MY NECK,

MY ARMS AND SHOULDERS,

THE BACK OF MY HAND AND PALM,

FROM THE TIPS OF MY FINGERS TO EVERY SINGLE JOINT.

EVEN WHILE FEELING LIKE HE WAS PERFORMING THE MOST SACRED ACT IN THE WORLD,

EVERYWHERE SKIN TOUCHED SKIN BURNED UP,

AND I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING IN THAT HEAT.

s-sir michael...

PRODUCING SUCH LEWD SOUNDS JUST FROM MY BREASTS,

I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT,

BUT WHY IS HE,

CONTINUOUSLY,

GOING FURTHER DOWN...

S-SIR!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE, ... N-NO!!

PLEASE DON'T!!!

TH-THERE, IT'S DIRTY DOWN THERE,

WH-HNGH, WHY ON EARTH...

P-PLEASE... MICHAEL, I...

NOW, STOP,

NOW, REALLY, MY LI-MIT, AH-UGH...!!

NO...!!!!!!

WHAT DO I DO?

I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIE OF SHAME.

I CAN'T POSSIBLY LOOK HIM IN THE FACE...

SO, LIKE I SAID,

DON'T DO IT THERE...

YOUR PLEASURE IS MY PLEASURE,

SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE SO EMBARRASSED.

IN THIS PLACE, WE ARE NOT A HOLY KNIGHT AND A PURIFIER, BUT SIMPLY A MARRIED COUPLE,

SO IS IT BAD FOR A WIFE AND HUSBAND TO SHARE PHYSICAL PLEASURE TOGETHER?

I AM HAPPY THAT YOUR DOWN THERE SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN THOROUGHLY SOAKED THANKS TO MY TONGUE.

I AM HOLDING BACK WITH ALL MY MIGHT, BUT IN TRUTH, I AM ALSO REACHING MY LIMIT NOW...
