Chapter 284 - A Frustrated Housewife's Longing Amid Family Thoughts!
"...Haa..."
The morning after Dino, led by the yin-su, had exacted a chilling revenge on Raoul's gang deep in the underground of Maou Castle.
On her way to work at the castle with her son in tow, Lianna let out a sigh as memories of last night's bedchamber romp with her husband flooded her mind.
...It had been so long since we'd had sex...
Their relationship had been growing increasingly strained lately, leaving them without any intimacy for quite some time. On top of that, she no longer had the shop to use as her private sanctuary, so even masturbation had been unsatisfying in recent days.
She'd been so looking forward to this softening of their bond, this chance to reconnect as husband and wife...
...Have I gotten too hooked on that massive dildo...?
But those hopes had crumbled into nothing. Her husband Dario's manhood gave her no pleasure at all—nothing to shatter her expectations so utterly.
Dario had thrust away diligently, but all she felt from his efforts was a hollow sensation, weaker than her own fingers. She'd clenched around him, hoping it might make a difference, only for him to cum right away. She hadn't felt a shred of ecstasy, just discomfort. And then he'd rolled over and fallen asleep, utterly content after one measly release.
As thoughts of her hidden dildos surfaced, a lonely ache settled in her chest, keeping her awake through the night.
...No, what lingered even more than those dildos was...
The moment the dildos crossed her mind, they were shoved aside by the image of something enormous looming before her eyes. Her cheeks flushed crimson as she recalled the massive horse cock of the monstrous benefactor who had helped and sponsored her.
God, me and my thoughts... This is so wrong...
From the very first glimpse, she hadn't been able to tear her eyes away from that gigantic monster's organ. Its brutal, inhuman shape was more than enough to steal the heart of a sexually frustrated married woman.
She'd fallen for it, diving into the monster's suggestions for relieving her pent-up desires—but she'd toed the line, never actually mating with him.
Remembering the monster's rippling muscles as he wielded her dildos so fiercely, the intoxicating scent of his potent horse cock... It was only natural that her husband's tepid coupling would make her think of him.
The fear that this fragile mending of her family ties might shatter weighed heavily on her heart.
"...Haa..."
"Mom? What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing... It's nothing, sweetie..."
She was a married woman with a child. She couldn't go any further. Even if things had been rocky with her husband lately. Even if his sex left her unsatisfied.
She still loved her husband, and by her side was her adorable son.
...Besides, Sema has other women now...
She'd accepted his offers partly because her lust was unbearable, but also because there were no complications on his end.
But now there was adventurer Lizbet. Saintess Clea. And even the lord's daughter Cecilia.
Compared to her, they were young, beautiful, and extraordinary. With women like that by his side, there was no reason for him to bother with her anymore.
So even if they didn't have full sex, she couldn't indulge with him. It would betray her husband—and make Sema betray those women.
...Unless, perhaps, they permitted it.
...But no way is Ceres in that kind of relationship with him too, right?
Dismissing it as a foolish hope, Lianna resolved to swing by an adult shop later and find some way to vent her frustrations.
Then an image flashed: the lord's wife herself—despite her status—wearing clothes Lianna had made, standing alongside Sema.
N-No... Even for Sema... the lady of the manor... that would be adultery, wouldn't it? And with Cecilia, her own daughter...
She didn't want to suspect, but Ceres's demeanor was too intimate to dismiss as mere friendship. She'd claimed swapping places with her husband was for smooth operations—surely she wouldn't commit adultery with a monster like Sema?
It was such a disrespectful thought toward a high noble.
And yet...
...If even a lofty lady like her has fallen into adultery with Sema...
The possibility made Lianna's heart race.
...No, stop it. Whatever Ceres has with Sema... it has nothing to do with me...
She shook her head, gripping her son's hand tighter to focus on family. Dino peered up at her with a worried frown, unnoticed by Lianna as her thoughts stirred deeper longings she failed to recognize—her body growing feverish.
Clutching her turbulent chest, she headed to her shop in the castle.
***********************************************************************************************************
"Alright, we'll be off~ Lianna~"
"Y-Yes... Take good care of her, you two..."
No sooner had they arrived than Lizbet and Cecilia took Dino's hand and headed for the academy.
The warmth from her child's hand had calmed Lianna's roiling heart. But as her son walked away, that calm began to stir once more.
...No, get a grip. Time to work...
Her sexy women's designs had sold out in droves lately—faster than even at her old shop, while she'd been distracted with household matters.
The dispatched staff had sold similar knockoffs based on her patterns, but now they were down to basic clothes only. It was astonishing, joyful—like gaining dozens of new customers—but it meant she had to hustle.
"Alright, everyone. I'll dive into designs right away, so prep the fabrics in the workshop?"
"Yes~ Got it, Manager Lianna♡"
"...A-And show me the inventory list too. I'll fill in the gaps based on stock..."
"Yes♡ Got it♡"
Was it her imagination, or had the staff been acting oddly lately? Few had ever truly appreciated her bold style—not even empty compliments.
"Her fabric sense and flair are great, but those designs are a bit..."
They'd followed awkwardly, faces sour on dispatch. Yet now they begged for design lessons, their vibes utterly changed. Even their plain uniforms seemed more revealing lately.
At first she'd brushed it off, but seeing them exude thick allure while working diligently without complaint... it was too strange to ignore.
...Have I been away from the shop too much? I'll chat with them later.
Meeting their expectant gazes, Lianna entered the design workshop.
***********************************************************************************************************
"...Hoo..."
Hours deep into designing, Lianna felt fatigue creeping in. Glancing at the clock, she saw lunch was nearing.
She set down her fabrics and monster materials, leaning back and closing her eyes.
"Who knew it'd sell this much... Looks like a quick lunch in the workshop."
Her husband had okayed ongoing work, but with sexy wear stocks depleted, she had no time to slack. Her small-scale line used premium fabrics and pricey monster hides—materials that demanded time.
"Guess I'll have to ask someone to grab me lunch..."
"Sis~ Wanna eat lunch together?"
As she rose, the monster she'd tried to forget pushed open the door.
His shirtless upper body revealed intimidating tattoos over rippling muscle. The basket in his hand did nothing to distract from it. At the sight, Lianna's suppressed lust began leaking forth.
"Y-Yeah!? S-Sema!? Y-You're here?"
"Yeah. Had stuff to do, so I missed greeting you this morning. Puhehe..."
"A-Aha... It's f-fine... Yeah..."
She'd avoided his face, relieved, and buried herself in work until her heart settled. But one look at those seductive muscles, and her chest heaved, a tingle stirring low in her belly.
Feeling her panties dampen, she crossed her legs and tossed her hair to hide it. The frustrated housewife's body heated under the potent male beast-scent wafting from him.
"Staff said you're swamped. The folks upstairs at my bar and restaurant hooked this up. Let's eat here."
"Y-Yeah... S-Sure?"
Her aroused flesh nodded without suspicion.
Had she not been so frustrated, she might've noticed the oddities: the monster fresh from furious matings underground with his livestock, his body reeking of beastly allure to tempt any female. The staff smirking wickedly through the closing door.
"Puhehe. My pub and restaurant upstairs? Their cooks are top-notch. It'll be delicious, sis."
"R-Really? Yeah... Sounds good now~ Fufut..."
The pent-up wife sensed no danger from the closing beast. Lianna missed his devious grin entirely.
