Only his heart hurt. It had been a mistake caused by his own carelessness. His heart ached with the weight of it. Looking into Gravis’s eyes, Leorino could tell just how much worry he had caused him.
“…I-I’m sorry.”
Gravis was clearly upset, but he did not speak a word of blame to Leorino.
“Why are you apologizing? You didn’t choose to be drugged.”
“I’m sorry…that I went out at all, even though you told me it wasn’t safe…”
He knew crying wouldn’t get him anywhere. He fought to stifle his sobs.
“Why did you go to the soiree? Was it to spite me for limiting your activities?”
“N-no… I just…wanted to apologize…to Lord J-Julian…”
“Is that all?”
Leorino was frightened. He did not have the courage to face his true intentions and admit he had been wrong.
But Gravis must have seen through Leorino’s foolish pride.
“…hic…”
“Leorino.”
The man’s eyes allowed no deception. He silently watched Leorino, waiting for his confession.
“…I just… I wanted to help… I wanted to investigate on my own…”
There was nothing more he could say.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”
“I should be apologizing. I failed to protect you from your own reckless behavior.”
“…No.”
As soon as he heard Gravis’s response, Leorino’s vision went dark.
At that very moment, Leorino had lost Gravis’s trust.
“…It’s my fault for letting my guard down, for being so consumed with love. I almost lost you all over again.”
“I’m s-sorry…”
Gravis smiled for the briefest moment and abruptly changed the subject.
“Our marriage deliberations are over. We have His Majesty’s signature and the approval of the congress. Tomorrow, our families will announce our engagement to the entire continent.”
Gravis once more pushed Leorino’s thighs open, as they were now too exhausted to move on their own.
The flesh the man had so thoroughly ravaged was still softly parted, the edges bloodshot. Leorino looked obscene, dripping wet with various bodily fluids.
“Oh… What… Ah!”
Leorino trembled, not understanding the meaning of the man’s actions. But he wouldn’t have the energy to resist even if he wanted to.
Gravis inserted several fingers into his hot, slick entrance. He began to slowly move his digits in and out, savoring the feeling of his flesh entwining around him.
“Ah, ah… Vi, wh-why…?”
The man’s hand mimicked the prior movements of his hips, and Leorino’s body, still under the sweet spell of the lingering traces of the aphrodisiac, was quickly set ablaze with want.
The man’s fingers checked the state of the area. Leorino seemed to be so sensitive that it hurt, but that should hardly have been an issue. His flesh was soft, having already mastered the art of accepting the man’s girth.
When Leorino felt his hips buck under the mind-numbing pleasure, the man’s hot length pressed against the spot he had just worked with his fingers.
“Ahhh… Ah, ah.”
Leorino arched his back at the sheer size of Gravis entering him all at once.
Leorino’s entrance gripped tightly, his moist inner walls coiling around him.
“…What a lewd hole you’ve got.”
Gravis slowly resumed his rhythmic movements.
“Oh… Vi, there…”
The sensation of hard flesh moving inside him defied description. The pleasure of it was overwhelming enough to make Leorino’s mind go blank.
That was when Gravis easily picked him up, laid himself down, and made Leorino sit in his lap. When he couldn’t seem to keep himself upright, Gravis held him by the hips, securing him in place.
Leorino’s body trembled from confusion and fright at this new position.
“Oh… Vi, this is…strange… Why…?”
Leorino noticed the man was sinking deeper into him under his own weight.
“Ah! That’s so…deep…”
Gravis did not bother to explain. Leorino placed his hands on the man’s stomach, struggling to support his body.
But even as he sought purchase, the man’s muscular hips were too wide for his knees to reach the mattress.
“Oh… Vi…why this…?”
In tears, Leorino struggled to free himself from the unfamiliar position, and Gravis silently let him try. He wasn’t going anywhere anyway.
Prepared for how stupid it made him look, Leorino bent his knees and tried to dig his feet into the bed. But with his legs spread so wide and the weakness in his limbs, Leorino could not lift himself out of the position.
“Mmm… Ngh.”
As a final resort, Leorino thrust his hands into the man’s hard abdomen. He curled his back like a cat and attempted to escape the girthy shaft that penetrated the depths of his body.
However, no matter how far he stretched forward to gain distance, he could not remove himself from the man’s impressive length. The gap between their bodies was just that great.
Leorino despaired.
Without the man’s help, he would be stuck in this position.
“…Please… This is too much. C-can’t we go back to the previous position?”
Sobbing in confusion, Leorino desperately pleaded with Gravis.
Instead of an answer, Gravis silently rocked his hips, gently thrusting into him. Shocked, Leorino shed tears at the cold treatment.
“Ugh… Oh…God… So deep…”
The stiff shaft slipped ever deeper. It took his breath away. And yet, each time the man struck his depths, it brought him to the brink of ecstasy.
The man placed both thumbs on Leorino’s nipples, now swollen alongside the areolas from all the sucking he had subjected them to.
Leorino nearly screamed from the intensity of the combined stimuli. His inner walls spasmed violently, his flesh tightly wrapping itself around the man. At that moment, Leorino climaxed with no additional assistance.
“…From tomorrow onward, you will be officially mine.”
Leorino’s entire body rippled at the sound of his deep voice. His hearing had grown hazy, but the man’s words scared him now. He was delighted, yet scared.
“…You will stay here for the foreseeable future.”
“Ahh… Ah…”
“Now stop thinking. Enjoy this.”
That was the last thing Gravis said before savoring the exquisite tightness of Leorino’s lithe body.
Even after everything they’d already done, his tight passage was more than enough to please even the far more experienced man. Every time Gravis rocked his hips, obscene sounds leaked from where two bodies became one.
✦ ✦ ✦
Leorino was falling into a deep sea of ecstasy, yet at the same time, he felt as if he was drowning in despair and regret.
Too much pleasure could easily become torture. This act was no longer for the sake of freeing his body from the drug. It was punishment through bliss.
Gravis was about to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget.
The man was silently showing Leorino how helpless, how weak to pleasure, how physically fragile he was.
Gravis had been hurt as well.
Gravis had tried so hard to protect him.
What other choice did he have now?
Gravis easily sat up with Leorino on top of him so that they faced each other.
He mercilessly took Leorino’s lips as he moaned, his throat trembling, stealing his breath away.
The hands on his chest did not cease their movements. Leorino’s swollen shaft struck the man’s hard abdomen with each deep thrust.
Leorino could only cry as he surrendered himself to the man in every sensual aspect of his being. He sobbed in time with the gentle rhythm of Gravis’s hips.
The dizzyingly shameless sounds and the obscene scent permeated Leorino’s skin and robbed him of all rational thought.
Leorino had lost all will to escape from the overwhelming cage that was his body.
Leorino lay on the muscular body of the man who was once again lying on his back. Gravis grabbed the back of his head and ravaged Leorino’s mouth with his tongue.
“Mnf… Mm.”
Matching the rhythm of Gravis’s kisses, his length hit the sensitive spot inside Leorino. The long, slow strokes continued with no end in sight.
Leorino’s consciousness began to fade, and he felt like he was losing hold of his own body.
Leorino was mere flesh now, the very embodiment of pleasure. It was only right that a stiff shaft should strike him over and over again.
When the man had finished his long conquest and had once again filled him with his liquid passion, Leorino possessed no more fluids to expel as he climaxed one last time, and finally lost consciousness.
