[TKOSINM] 145 - Perverted Thoughts

“...Noel, I’m glad you’re by my side.”

“...”

“As much as you are precious to me, I want to be precious to you too. Because I don’t want to just receive…”

She had fallen asleep, and her pronunciation was slightly muffled, but he was right next to her, so he could clearly understand.

Leaving her words behind, Irene seemed to have fallen asleep, and only the sound of her breathing could be heard from the direction she lay.

Noel became resentful of Irene who had fallen asleep just like that. He could not believe she would so cruelly shake him up like that and just doze off.

The two of them were close to each other, disregarding the wide bed. Irene, who had fallen asleep, tossed, and turned, and inched closer and closer to Noel. Not only the back of her hand, but also her leg and arm rubbed against him several times.

Noel exhaled a few hot breaths and slowly got up. There was no way he could sleep in such an unstable state, and he feared waking her up too.

He got out of bed and wrapped the blanket tightly under her neck. After tucking her in, he stared at her sleeping face for a moment.

The messy wheat-coloured hair, the red face, and the breath that leaked through the slightly parted lips... Noel shook his head, clearing his thoughts. No, it definitely was not good for him.

“You are already more than enough for me. Beyond precious, more than that. I also thank you for coming to me. Good night, Irene.”

She was sleeping, and thus could not hear him. But at this moment, Noel was more honest and sincere than ever. He spoke quietly and smiled at her, then left the room after conveying his heartfelt sincerity. He would come back after getting some fresh night air.

The door closed and Irene, who was supposedly asleep, slowly opened her eyes.

Her face, which she thought had just been flushed from drinking, was actually flushed with embarrassment.

I’m an undeserving person…

It was true that she was drunk to a certain extent, but she drank not to the point where she had lost her mind. But if he thought she was drunk, she took the opportunity to be honest with him, and say things that normally she would not dare to. She pretended to be asleep and expressed her honest feelings.

But... she had not expected him to say the same things as well.

‘Happy.’

That was what she felt. Happiness and excitement at the same time. Because she did not imagine Noel too, would be having her same thoughts.

Irene pulled the blanket that Noel had covered up to her nose, her heart beating rapidly and flooded with giddiness and warmth. The blanket he had tucked her in felt extra soft, and she indulged in the lingering feelings.

Noel, will he come back?

She was going to wait for him, but she had to work tomorrow, so now she really did feel tired. At last, Irene closed her eyes tightly. However, despite escaping from Noel, sleep did not come easily.

So Irene and Noel spent the night until dawn unable to catch proper rest. That was how their wedding night passed.

“Young Madame, it is time to get up. The Duke is washing up.”

Irene woke up at the sound of mentioning Noel. She opened her eyes drearily and nodded at her maids’ greeting.

“Good morning, Young Madame. Breakfast will be ready soon, so you can wash up when the Duke comes out.”

“Ah… yes.”

Irene nodded. For a moment, she was about to say something respectful, but she managed to hold it in. She now needed to dress and speak formally according to her position, as she was now the madame, and not a guest.

She could not sleep for a while because of her tossing and turning, and when Irene came down from her bed, her mind still hazy, Noel had just come out of her bathroom. She noticed that as Noel approached her, her maid, who was holding Irene’s robe, quickly bowed her head and stepped back behind her.

“Good morning, Irene, is your head, okay?”

“Noel, I’m good…”

Irene looked back at him as she spoke, but she was rendered speechless. He was wearing a robe, but despite that, his bare skin clearly peeked through the V-shaped space at the front. She could see his chest! And on top of that, see how clearly defined he was.

“That, that ...” Irene stuttered.

“Irene, are you okay?”

“I’m going to wash up…!” Just when she had woken up and managed to clear her head, her face immediately went up in flames again.

Noel, unaware that Irene was conscious of his clothes, naturally came to the bedside. As he got closer, Irene scrambled away and ran into the bathroom he had just come from. She then closed the door quickly and leaned on it. Her back trembled as she felt the coolness of the door. She needed to cool her hot face and her mind! Even so, Noel’s bare chest continued to glow in front of her eyes, and instead of cooling down, her face only seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

Let’s wash.

Irene took off her clothes and went into her bathroom. The bathroom had two large baths, one drained and the other full of warm water. Perhaps the place where the water was drained was the bath Noel had used.

Stepping into the water-filled bath, Irene glanced at the drained bathtub.

I think I’ve become a pervert…

As she looked at the bath, she continued to have those unimaginable thoughts.
