Chapter Title: Morning After and Ivana's Denial
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh...."
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a variety of delightful fragrances.
The kind of scents I personally wanted to keep inhaling with my eyes closed.
But the various noises around me forced me to open them.
"...Good morning. Yaaawn...."
"You, why are you up so early?"
"Yeah...? Was I uncomfortable?"
"I tend to wake up early anyway. More importantly, why are you two already up?"
Thanks to Ella and Grace whispering beside me, it felt awkward to just keep lying there.
They'd been moaning all night, yet they had the stamina to chatter energetically first thing in the morning.
Honestly, it was a bit surprising.
I was utterly exhausted and wanted to sleep more.
"I just woke up a little while ago."
"Me too."
"Ugh.... After all that yesterday, you're already awake? I'm sooo... yaaawn... tired."
"You can sleep more if you want. The others are still asleep anyway."
"But if you two are up, I can't just keep sleeping."
Ella had a point—it would've been fine to sleep more.
But I felt bad about it, so I sat up anyway.
It was exactly 10 o'clock.
A perfect time to get up.
........
When I actually sat up, I saw quite a few naked female bodies sprawled across the massive bed.
Seeing it like this, it really was a harem.
Rozalin and Ashley, Lize and Karen, and even Ivana.
They'd all partied late into the night, so they were still fast asleep.
Though I said "female bodies," they were properly covered with a large blanket to avoid catching a cold.
"...Shall we three have some light tea just among ourselves? We have the tea set right here anyway."
"That sounds good. I'm up, but... still...."
"Still?"
"...This situation doesn't feel real. It's too debauched."
"Ah."
Fair enough.
Agreeing with Grace, we decided to have some tea first.
Since we were all naked, we draped cardigans or leftover blankets over ourselves.
"Phew.... This is nice."
"...You know you were really pervy last night, right?"
"Why me?"
"...You were pervy. Total beast."
"Getting scolded by Ella first thing in the morning is a novel experience."
I didn't entirely deny it as Ella glared at me over her tea.
Honestly, it was my first time, and it wasn't exactly vanilla—I'd put in quite the effort yesterday.
"How was it for you, Miss Grace?"
"...My nipples hurt."
"Pfft, they really hurt? I didn't think I pulled that hard."
"...But you kept tormenting just that spot."
"Ah."
"...Sorry."
"I'm sorry. You were so cute, Grace. I'll try to be gentler next time."
I'd been pretty worked up yesterday in all sorts of ways.
Couldn't control myself perfectly.
In a situation like that, proper restraint is hard, right?
Spending time with seven women who like me.
Holding back desires and being super gentle in that scenario didn't feel easy at all.
"...No, it's fine. If you liked it, I didn't hate it either."
"Good, then. If there's anything you didn't like, tell me. I never want to make you do something you hate."
"Yeah, got it."
At least no one seemed to totally hate it.
I'd have to ask the ones still sleeping, but everyone enjoyed it immensely yesterday.
I wanted to go again tonight, but my body was too worn out.
"...I should ask Lize for a massage when she wakes up."
"Pfft...."
"Is it really because I enjoyed it so much yesterday? My shoulders and back are killing me."
"That's what you get for not exercising."
"Exercise makes it worse for me. Running hurts like hell because of my chest, and my abs aren't even defined."
"...True, but you eat desserts all the time. Asking Lize for candy whenever you're bored."
"I don't gain weight. That's why I ask. It's just my constitution since I was little."
We'd done something pretty epic last night, beyond expectations.
Yet we were starting the morning as casually as ever, no big difference from usual.
Drinking tea, chatting, then heading to wash up together once the other lovers woke.
Just a normal time.
But there was a subtle lack of reservations between us lovers compared to before.
Making the morning even more enjoyable.
*
"...Lize. Let's talk for a moment."
"Miss Ivana?"
......Just a sec.
The lovers had been laughing and chatting, then split off to handle their own things.
In that moment, Ivana suddenly approached Lize.
Extremely suddenly.
I couldn't help tilting my head in curiosity.
Ivana, usually so my-pace, initiating a conversation with Lize was downright bizarre.
"Miss Ivana, what's wrong?"
"...I just want to talk with Lize a bit."
"Suddenly?"
Why?
What?
Seriously, what?
"...To clear up a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding?"
........
"Miss Ivana?"
What?
She suddenly stopped responding.
Her pale face flushed red, her head slowly bowing.
What?
I tilted my head in front of Ivana, calling her repeatedly.
"Miss Ivana?"
"Ivanaaa~?"
"Ivana?"
"...What."
Did she break?
After about a minute, Ivana finally stirred again.
"...I just want to clear up the misunderstanding from yesterday."
"You already said that."
"...There was a slight error in what Lize said last night, so."
"...Hmm? Hmm...? Ah."
Thinking it over, I figured out what she meant.
I could even understand why Ivana was acting so embarrassed now.
It was definitely embarrassing.
"Just say it here. It's only the three of us anyway."
"...Pardon?"
"Hehe, this is way better, right, Lize?"
"Thank you, Young Lady."
I hugged Lize and stroked her head as I said it.
We were about to witness some prime entertainment firsthand.
How could I miss this?
"Come on, Miss Ivana. Sit."
"...Yes."
I sat Ivana down next to me.
She was still blushing and embarrassed... which was the fun part.
"...First off."
But she was still a duke's heiress.
Maybe because she was a noble destined to rule the vast Northern Region herself.
Braving the embarrassment, Ivana began to speak.
"...I've never leaked fluids while getting spanked."
"...?"
"And.... I've never enjoyed getting slapped on the breasts."
......?
"...I'm not vulgar."
......??
What?
What nonsense was this?
Denying last night's conversation now, out of nowhere?
Seriously, suddenly?
Wasn't everything settled yesterday?
Lize spoke, no rebuttals, just stammering to an end.
Wasn't that it...?
"I'm not a pervert...."
"...Wow."
I never imagined she'd bring this up like this.
Yesterday, she couldn't rebut at all, lost her turn to Lize, and just masturbated in defeat.
For her to say this now was impressive in its own way.
"...Is that what you wanted to tell Lize?"
"...Yes."
.......
How should I react?
Agree she's not a pervert? Rebut it?
Tough call.
"...But Miss Ivana really does have those tastes, doesn't she? Just yesterday, when the Young Lady spanked your bottom...."
"That was acting."
"Acting?"
"Yes, acting.... I just made those noises on purpose. How could anyone make such embarrassing sounds... just because their bottom was spanked, and, you know, react like that."
.......
Ivana, wouldn't it be better to just admit it cleanly?
It felt seriously too late.
Lize's words rang true to anyone, but Ivana kept denying it pathetically.
I didn't hate those tastes at all.
No need to hide them like that, I thought, watching their exchange.
"And yesterday, while watching the rest of us mingle with the Young Lady. Weren't you comforting yourself?"
"Ah."
"Th-that was...."
"You didn't even do anything with the Young Lady. You just masturbated alone and collapsed."
........
Lize, as expected.
I couldn't help admiring her killer counterpunch.
That one hit hard.
Not just defeat masturbation, but collapsing from exhaustion—truly something.
Even I couldn't deny that one.
"But it's okay. The Young Lady is so tolerant. She surely won't mind those tastes."
........
"Young Lady."
"Yes, Lize."
"Miss Ivana seems to have... some rather risky tastes."
"...Yeah, seems so."
Lize rarely said things like this, but this situation must've been tough for her too.
Regardless of Ivana's inability to rebut... she looked so embarrassed, so I decided to help.
"Miss Ivana, I love that side of you too. You know that, right?"
"...Yes."
"And you're not the only one with tastes like that. Don't think too badly of it."
"...Yes."
"And everyone from last night knows now anyway."
.......
"Next time, let's show it more confidently in front of everyone. You didn't get to fully enjoy yesterday, right?"
Because she masturbated alone.
But it was true Ivana hadn't fully enjoyed yesterday.
As I said that, I adjusted Lize's position in my arms slightly.
"But Miss Ivana, how long are you going to sit over there? Don't you think it's time to... come over here?"
"...Yes."
It was true Ivana had even more pervy tastes than expected.
But I didn't hate them at all.
I actually enjoyed watching reactions and feeding off them, so someone like Ivana... excited me in all sorts of ways.
Though that excitement sometimes veered too far into rough territory.
"Hehe...."
Setting all that aside, just seeing Ivana—the highest-status among my lovers by rank—and my maid Lize having this conversation.
It was enough to make my lips curl up.
