A Secret Deal with the Lady (2)
Sssshaaaaa...
"Ugh... I-I can't move...!"
Her legs had lost all their strength. She wriggled about with her hands still covering her chest, then finally gave up and simply flopped forward, abandoning the attempt entirely.
She pressed her chest flat against the ground, hiding it from view completely.
But her hips still jutted up toward the sky, and her face was a picture of pure desperation. Left like this, she'd be baring her backside indefinitely. In the end, she had no choice but to ask me for help.
"U-um, Dol-soi...?"
"Yes, my lady?"
"When a person is talking to you, you're supposed to look at their eyes!"
"Aww, I can see everything, though."
"Th-that's a lie! You're only staring at my butt...!"
How did she know?
Shin Ha-yoon let out a long sigh before speaking.
"Haa... Th-then. Won't you help me get out of here...?"
"Of course, my lady."
"R-really?"
At my promise to help, Shin Ha-yoon's face bloomed into a bright smile. Naive as ever, I see.
I nodded at her words and sat where I was, stretching out my hand.
"...Huh?"
Needless to say, the distance between me, safely out of the water, and her, stuck in it, was considerable.
Shin Ha-yoon stared at my outstretched hand for a moment, then lifted her head and glared at me as if to say, what is this nonsense?
"Take hold of this hand."
"Ugh... y-you're... so mean... ngh...!"
Wow, this is incredibly hot.
Her legs refused to obey her, so she had no choice but to crawl toward me using only her arms. But the moment she lifted her arms, her chest would be on full display — so Shin Ha-yoon resorted to an army crawl, inching forward bit by bit.
Splash, splash.
"S-stop looking already...!"
"Come along quickly, my lady. I'm simply cheering you on."
"Y-you...!"
Realizing she was being toyed with, Shin Ha-yoon bit her lip and shouted. But there was nothing she could actually do about it, so in the end she mustered every ounce of strength in her arms and dragged herself in front of me.
Splat.
"Hnggg... s-so tiring...!"
Squelch.
Clutching my hand in a tight grip at last, she sprawled out flat on her stomach. Panting hard, utterly exhausted, she had abandoned all pretense of dignity — just lying there, spent.
Throb!
At the sight of her, my cock surged up rock-hard all over again. Her hips, the small of her back, that creamy white skin — I barely restrained myself from coveting every inch of it, and instead settled for committing a crime with my eyes until she recovered.
A shiver...
Perhaps she felt my gaze, because the woman lying there trembled. But since no amount of straining would let her move, she simply surrendered everything and focused on recovering her strength instead.
How much time passed like that? The moment feeling returned to her limbs, the very first thing Shin Ha-yoon did was scramble up and dash toward her clothes.
"Ooooh..."
"Hyaaah...! D-don't look...! You take my words like dog droppings...!"
I couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration at the sight of her retreating figure. Shin Ha-yoon sprinted away with both hands clamped over her backside, finally reaching the pile of clothes she'd left behind.
She wiped herself down swiftly with the cloth she'd prepared in advance, then dressed as quickly as her fingers would allow. Her exposed body at last concealed once more, Shin Ha-yoon turned to face me.
"Whew... Dol-soi."
Ice cold. That's a hairpin flying straight into my chest.
Clothed again, her confidence had evidently returned, because her voice had turned frigid. The sight of her glaring at me and calling my name... honestly made me feel like I was about to lose.
My seed, that is.
"Yes~?"
"Do you even realize what you've just done?"
"I merely followed the lady's orders..."
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
Hiss... hiss...
She was so mortified that her anger came pouring out, leaving her breath ragged and uneven. Watching her like that, a brilliant idea for turning this whole situation around suddenly struck me.
"In that case, my lady — wouldn't you care to make a deal with me?"
"No! I'm telling Father everything!"
"Hear me out first."
"...What is it."
Making it abundantly clear she had zero intention of agreeing to any deal, she even crossed her arms and asked with a sullen tilt of her head. But there was no way in the world she could refuse this offer.
"If you don't tell Lord Shin, then I won't tell him either."
"Ha! Tell him what?"
"The beggars."
Flinch.
She jolted at my words.
Now.
Now's my chance.
"Though I do feel rather wronged."
"Wh-what?!"
"Those men tried to violate you. I only saw your bare body because of an 'accident.' So why am I the only one being punished? You shield the beggars, and poor old Dol-soi is just supposed to die? Is that really what you're saying?"
A somewhat aggressive argument — but not a single word of it was wrong. And that's precisely why Shin Ha-yoon, flustered, let her firmly crossed arms fall and stammered out a reply.
"N-no... wh-when did I ever say tha..."
"Aigooh...! I cook the lady's meals for her! I hold her steady when she rides horses! I even saved her from beggars! Aigooh...! So you spare the beggars who tried to violate you, but I'm the one you'd put to death?!"
"D-Dol-soi! That's not what I...! I-I was only planning to scare them a little! I-I just wanted to give you a fright, that's al..."
"Aigooh!"
"S-stop it! I-I'm sorryyy! I won't tell Father! It'll be our secret, I swearrr!"
Snip.
The moment those words left her mouth, I cut off my wailing instantly.
"Oh, will you now?"
"Y-you... you sly, wicked...!"
Thump.
Completely outplayed by my scheme, Shin Ha-yoon collapsed onto the ground in her expensive hanbok. The sight of her groaning in frustration... Rawr. Unbearably arousing, honestly.
My cock, which had barely settled down through sheer acting, nearly sprang back to attention in an instant.
Shin Ha-yoon clutched her head, shaking it as if she couldn't fathom how she'd fallen for something like this. Watching her, I asked:
"By the way, my lady — Lord Shin never actually forbade the Rear Mountain Lake, did he?"
Startle.
"H-how did you know that?!"
"Did I not mention it? Lord Shin granted me permission to use the lake, I said."
"Is that... really true...?"
Shin Ha-yoon stared at me in disbelief. When I nodded, her face clouded over. After all, this entire mess had come about because of her own transgression — defying the master's word and sneaking out here.
It was she, not I, who ought to be reported to Lord Shin. Though of course, if I were reported, I'd be executed on the spot.
"So why did you come here, my lady?"
"...When I come in here, my body relaxes. And my heart. And my head too."
"Oh come now, what worries could a young lady possibly have? Worrying is for slaves like me."
"That's not true!"
Huh?
Shin Ha-yoon suddenly cried out at my answer — loudly enough to startle even me.
"Ah... s-sorry."
Seeing my stunned expression, she blushed and apologized. When I told her it was fine, she let out a breath of relief.
Then she smoothed down her chest — and because she'd dressed in such a hurry, she hadn't wiped herself properly. The glimpse of that bare skin peeking through the folds of her hanbok... Rawr...
I seriously want to put it in my mouth.
Just as I was thinking that, Shin Ha-yoon, lost in thought, spoke up.
"Honestly, I'm jealous of you people. No — Dol-soi. I'm jealous of you."
"Me, my lady?"
"You can marry the one you love, can't you? I want... I want to love like that too. The kind of love in the books."
Well. For a virgin who'd reached this age without so much as holding hands — let alone a seopsun kiss — she certainly had every right to say so. If anything, that's exactly why her romantic fantasies about love had blossomed so fully.
"But Father is trying to marry me off as soon as possible... It makes my heart feel so stifled."
"What's so special about the love in books, my lady?"
"Er...?"
At my curious question, Shin Ha-yoon found herself unable to answer. Her face reddened slightly.
"W-well, lots. Marrying a prince, or there's generals toooo... or even a sl-ave, sometimes."
"Then isn't one of those available to you right this moment?"
"Hmm...?"
Whooooosh...
Her face flushed crimson. She was a noble house's daughter, after all. She'd read countless books in her time, and had spent plenty of effort hunting out the hidden meanings buried within them.
She would have grasped exactly what my words meant in a heartbeat.
"I-I don't love you! How could that possibly be the love in the books! A-and besides, you have Gap-soon!"
"Haa... well, that's actually a bit of a problem too."
"Huh...?"
At my words — that Gap-soon was somehow a problem — she made a foolish little sound. She'd seemed like such a cold, icy beauty at first. Who knew she had a side this adorable?
Her face was the very definition of a frozen beauty, but her behavior was endearingly clumsy. So this is what they mean by gap appeal, I thought.
"The truth is, twenty times a day is nothing for me."
"Wh-what...?"
"You saw for yourself earlier, didn't you? The joining of bodies, I mean."
WHOOOOOSH...!
At my words, her face heated up like a blacksmith's iron.
Seeing her reaction, I pressed harder.
"But Gap-soon faints after just five times, you see..."
"B-but Gap-soon has good stamina...?"
"But my manhood isn't exactly an ordinary manhood, now is it?"
Gulp.
"Th-that's true..."
She swallowed hard as she answered, and for a split second her eyes flicked down toward my crotch. Then, as if hastily insisting she hadn't looked at all, Shin Ha-yoon whipped her head to the side.
"That's why it never feels quite... resolved, you see. And besides — how could anyone resist? Your face, your body, so breathtakingly beautiful? That's why I simply couldn't hold back my desires."
"Hmph... i-is that so...?"
"Yes. That bountiful chest of yours, those sturdy hips, that creamy skin none of us slaves could ever have..."
"S-stop! Wh-when did I ever ask you to describe me!"
Having heard my words, her face burned so hot she fanned herself with her hand. We were right next to a lake — it was honestly quite cool out here.
"Ahh, forgive me, pouring out my woes like this. You know Gap-soon hasn't been working lately, don't you?"
"Oh... now that you mention it. I suppose she hasn't."
Shin Ha-yoon nodded along. Then, deep in thought, she added that she really hadn't seen Gap-soon around.
"That's entirely because I torment her so much at night."
"You... do?"
"Yes. Every night she begs me she's dying. And wails for me to please stop, don't you know."
"Hiiik..!"
By now she wasn't voicing a single objection to talk of this caliber, so I kept one eye on her reaction and nudged the conversation a little further.
"And you know, at the start it's actually the opposite. She's the one begging me for it, desperate as can be."
Gulp.
"Even... even though it leaves her exhausted?"
"Yes. On purpose, she goes around without even wearing her undergarments, and the moment I show up — like this!"
"Hiiik...!"
Yank!
Following Gap-soon's example, I swept my robe open to the side. Shocked at the sight of me baring my chest, she gulped down a ragged breath.
But her gaze was locked, firmly and heavily, on my solid, muscled chest.
"She goes further than just baring her chest — sometimes she hikes her skirt all the way up."
"Haa... haa... w-without... without her undergarments...?"
"Of course."
Haa.... haa...
Somewhere along the way, her face had flushed completely. From embarrassment? No.
From arousal. That was the face of a female in heat.
"So... so it feels that good, does it?"
There it was. Finally, the words I'd been waiting for.
Smirk.
I smiled to myself and answered.
"Yes. It feels that good."
Gulp.
Hearing my answer, Shin Ha-yoon swallowed hard.
Her slender throat bobbed. Following its movement, she said:
"...Is that so."
Her eyes, utterly undone... brimming with heat.
