-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cecilia wore a brazen expression, as if there was absolutely nothing wrong with her actions.
"...You do know this is the men's bath, right?"
Of course, the North was famous for its hot springs, and mixed bathing was common enough. But this was still the men's section.
Even if I was the only man in the bath right now.
"Lord Bergil said he rented out the whole place, so don't worry and just come on in."
"...Did he? Bergil said that, huh."
Well, given Bergil's status and power, reserving an entire hot spring wouldn't be hard for him.
The real issue was why he'd told her to ignore it and hop in, instead of me.
It reeked of him trying to mess with me.
"Haaah... They say the North's hot springs are amazing, and they're not kidding..."
Cecilia's head leaned against my right shoulder.
The perfect weight, her body heat warming my body and soul like some kind of healing balm.
"...Aren't elves supposed to be conservative about this stuff?"
I was enjoying the hot spring, soaking in her gentle pressure and weight, when the thought suddenly hit me.
As far as I remembered, elves were an extremely conservative race when it came to sex.
Even intercourse between lovers was only for the sake of preserving the species.
But Cecilia's behavior right now felt nothing like the elves I knew.
"That's all just prejudice. If an elf finds someone she loves, she'll make the first move."
"Ah, I see..."
Cecilia tossed out those embarrassing words without a hint of shame.
But I was the one whose face burned hotter than hers.
"Besides, Master, you've been through so much since coming to the North. I just wanted to pamper you a little."
"...You know what I've been up to here?"
"Not the details. But I can tell just by looking—you're worn out. I know you're strong, Master, but that doesn't stop me from worrying."
Come to think of it, ever since arriving in the North, I'd been so focused on Karin that I'd neglected Cecilia...
She'd been watching out for me the whole time, though.
"I see."
"So, please... let me serve you right now?"
Cecilia turned toward me with a sultry smile.
Less the gaze of a slave to her master, more like a big sister comforting her little brother.
At this rate, who even knows who's the master and who's the slave.
The thought crossed my mind just as Cecilia rested her hand on my head and stroked it.
A soft, warm touch.
My body warmed up, and my heart felt a little lighter too.
Had my mind ever felt this at ease since possessing this body?
"And ever since Karin came along, we haven't been able to get this close."
Cecilia flashed a seductive smile as she caressed my skin.
True enough... after taking Karin as my disciple, we'd barely had any physical contact.
I couldn't exactly flirt openly in front of Karin, who was wary of men.
"We couldn't help it back then, but now it's fine, right? Lord Bergil and Karin aren't here. Hehe."
As she spoke, Cecilia's touches grew bolder.
Up until now, her hands had roamed my chest and arms. Now, they were sliding lower.
"It's okay, right, Master...?"
Cecilia paused her descending hand and looked at me.
Eyes burning with raw desire.
Yet she still sought my permission first. It was utterly endearing.
"Do whatever you want."
The moment I said it, Cecilia's demeanor shifted.
From gentle and cozy to intensely seductive and sensual.
She was like a female in heat right now—nothing more, nothing less.
"Doing it in the hot spring... it's making my heart race for some reason..."
Cecilia's small hand gripped the shaft of my cock.
It clung to it like a tentacle.
Maybe because her hands were so delicate and beautiful, or maybe just because the situation was so arousing.
Just her hand on it sent overwhelming stimulation through me.
"Ngh..."
I tried to hold back my groan—I'm the master here, after all—but a little slipped out anyway.
"Feels good?"
She smirked, clearly pleased by my moan, giggling to herself.
Feels like I'm losing here somehow...
A strange surge of competitive frustration hit me. I slid my hand toward Cecilia's pussy.
"Hii?!"
She yelped in surprise at the sudden move, her voice pitching up.
For some reason, it felt like I'd won. I grinned at her the same way she'd grinned at me.
"Let me serve you... I'll do the serving, so you don't have to..."
"I'm doing it because I want to. Don't worry about it."
"Ahh...!"
We sat facing each other in the hot spring, hands moving on one another.
Cecilia's hand stroked my cock. My hand plunged into her pussy.
Hands working for each other's pleasure.
Being in the water made the lewd sounds echo even louder.
—Splish... sploosh!!
We let out soft moans as the act built toward climax.
Soon, Cecilia and I reached dizzying peaks with shuddering cries.
"Ahh... ohhh!!!"
"Ngh..."
Even in the water, I could feel her gushing tide bursting forth.
In the end, the hot spring where we'd soaked our bodies was defiled with her juices and my semen.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Ever since Karin arrived, we'd both held back somehow. But once the dam broke, we lost all reason.
Now, we were nothing but a beast in rut and her mate.
"Master... we can't let our voices leak out, right?"
Cecilia, dragged from the hot spring to the room by Yuri, suddenly asked that.
The hot spring was privately rented by Bergil, so noise didn't matter there. But now that we were back at the ducal residence, it was different.
Nothing catastrophic would happen if sounds escaped, but I could already picture Bergil teasing me endlessly about it.
"Soundproofing, got it."
At Cecilia's words, Yuri drew the sword from his waist.
"M-Master!? What are you—?!"
"Relax, it's not what you think."
In an instant, Yuri plunged the sword into the center of the room's floor.
"Is... is that okay?"
"No problem. Just reinforcing the soundproofing."
Of course, it'd leave a gouge in the floor, but that wasn't Yuri's concern.
Bergil had more imperial pension money than he knew what to do with anyway. He'd handle it.
"Alright, time for the main event."
Yuri stripped off his clothes one by one.
His naked form gradually revealed.
Perfectly toned, compact muscles—not overdone, just visually appealing—and skin so fair it belied his age over a hundred.
And that handsome face, flushed red with arousal.
It was more than enough to make Cecilia swallow hard.
"You're really beautiful, you know."
Fully undressed, Yuri sat on the bed and took in Cecilia, who was already there.
Her porcelain elf skin, long golden hair cascading beautifully.
Those sparkling green eyes, full breasts and hips with just the right amount of plushness.
Her stunning looks were topped off by an outfit that evoked an angel.
It was so thin and skimpy it was barely clothing—more like a veil.
Even the empire's eccentric nobles with weird tastes wouldn't dress a slave in something this provocative.
Despite Yuri's protests, Cecilia had insisted on buying it.
And now, she was confirming in real time that her stubbornness had been spot on.
"Master...? That's... I've never seen one that big before..."
Cecilia's gaze locked onto Yuri's rigidly erect massive cock.
Slight ridges along its long, thick length, veins bulging prominently.
She'd thought it was huge before, but right now, it looked bigger than ever in her memory.
If normally it was forearm-thick, now it was thigh-thick. No exaggeration.
"...I've been holding back for a while too. And you're the one tempting me like this."
Yuri breathed heavily as he slowly approached the bed.
"Ah♡"
The closer he got, the hotter her womb felt.
She knew she'd be ravaged by that monster tonight.
That she could finally feel Yuri freely after months of restraint.
For a single elf who struggled with fertility, it was more than enough to set her ablaze.
"It's been forever."
Muttering that, Yuri climbed onto the bed.
The distance between him and Cecilia shrank bit by bit.
Now, they were close enough that toppling forward would bump noses.
Each could feel the other's breath, their heat.
As their eyes met...
Before Yuri could even reach out, Cecilia grabbed the back of his neck like she couldn't hold back any longer and pressed their lips together.
