Chapter 21: First Time, Overwhelming Pleasure [1]*
Initially, when he embraced her and let his erection press against her belly, he was a little nervous because he wasn’t sure if that would scare Oriana into estranging him.
But when she didn’t struggle much or tried to move away and instead kept her lower body still, he relaxed because while she was still nervous and somewhat panicked, she clearly knew what he was doing.
Then as he questioned her, she had surely realized what he wanted but she still didn’t struggle, an indication of decision.
Now emboldened, after ensuring she wouldn’t feel bad about herself, he didn’t hesitate and directly asked if she was willing to become his woman.
Ba-Dum!
Oriana’s heart skipped a beat even though she had seen this coming.
’H-He... really wants me?’
’What do I do? Do I agree? But wouldn’t that be awkward given our relationship?’
’But... given his talent, he is sure to become more powerful than Lord Viscount and would most likely inherit the noble title.
Even if he doesn’t take me as his concubine, I wouldn’t have to worry about my and Ellie’s future.
Moreover, after he becomes strong enough, he can also help me take revenge if I gain his favor.
