Chapter 18. I Even Thought About Marriage.
After slaying the demon Genevy, it took Ji-hyuk's crew exactly five full days to finally break free of the Monster Plains. Gid, who'd been terrified by the paralyzing poison, unleashed a torrent of curses right before they entered the barrier's underground passage.
"You fucking bastards! I swear to fuck I'll never come back here, you goddamn shits—!!"
Even after passing through the barrier, the team marched another full day before reaching that tiny rural village. Ji-hyuk shelled out a fortune to rent out the village chief's largest house in its entirety. For the first time in ages, they could crash on proper beds.
Grace no longer suffered from her anxiety attacks. The chain-smoking healer who'd pissed herself in fear had transformed into a haughty noblewoman, as if it had never happened.
The orc Grendal, indebted to him, declared himself Ji-hyuk's devoted retainer. It seemed he'd personally felt the man's greatness during this expedition.
Everything was smooth sailing. They hit a fierce storm midway, but everyone pulled together and overcame it brilliantly. They set off once more on the long road back to the capital.
And it took just under two months to return. Seeing the imperial capital Hacum unchanged from when they'd left filled Ji-hyuk's team with emotion. You couldn't help but feel that way after a long expedition.
"Fuck yeah, I'm gonna blow through a whole month of cash partying—!"
Gid was already buzzing at the thought. Even if not to that extent, no one could stop grinning at the idea of kicking back worry-free in their comfy rooms.
They passed through the capital's main gate and headed straight for the mansion. The steward Durka welcomed them back from their mission with a grand feast. The team members rushed to their rooms and flopped onto their neatly made beds.
But Ji-hyuk still had business to handle. He hopped back into a carriage and headed to the inner castle. Then he went to the mission depository at the Hall of Honors to confirm his completion.
He'd racked up a whopping 80 points. He collected his rewards and headed back to the mansion.
The loyal lizardman Kayak had been waiting at the entrance since earlier, dying for Ji-hyuk to return. He took the heavy pouch of gold from his leader.
"Divide it up—one hundred fifty gold coins each."
"...Is it really okay to give that much?"
"They worked their asses off. They earned it."
Kayak had already prepared small pouches, each filled with exactly one hundred fifty gold coins. Only after finishing even those chores did the lizardman retreat to his room.
Ji-hyuk took a thorough bath and headed to the dining hall for dinner. His team was already there, waiting for their leader. Everyone had scrubbed off the grime from the expedition and looked fresh and clean. Grace had even thrown on a dress.
"You all did great work. I'm truly glad we're all back safe."
Ji-hyuk lightly raised his glass of wine. The team followed suit, toasting their safe return before digging in.
After dinner, it was time to distribute the rewards. Gid looked especially eager. Ji-hyuk slipped an extra twenty gold coins into his pouch.
"One hundred fifty gold each. More than enough to splurge."
They were all stunned by the generous amount. But after traveling that far and enduring so much, Ji-hyuk figured it was fair. Plenty of greedy heroes skimped even a single coin, but he had no interest in playing games with money.
And so the first night back deepened into the wee hours. As the night grew dark and quiet, Yael showed up at her leader's door in her nightgown, right on cue. The moment she entered, she stripped naked and crawled toward him on all fours like a bitch in heat.
Ji-hyuk, perched on the bed's edge, smirked crookedly.
"What brings our mage all the way here?"
Aah. Yael's heart pounded. She knew exactly how slutty she looked right now. But if it meant getting her leader's cock, she was ready for worse.
"Leader... I came for your cock..."
"That desperate, huh?"
"Yes... look."
The junkie TA flipped onto her back, spread her legs wide, and pulled open her dripping pussy with her fingers. A flicker of shame bit at her, making her nibble her lower lip—but it vanished like cigarette smoke.
"My pussy's soaked. ...It gets like this just thinking about you, Leader. Such a filthy, slutty cunt."
The smirking leader just watched in silence. Aah. She was getting antsy.
"Leader... please. I've held out so long. My naughty pussy's aching for your cock. L-look at it. See this."
She clenched and relaxed, making her pussy hole wink open and shut. The brilliant mage was doing things she'd never dreamed of, all for that dick.
Finally, he spoke.
"Didn't we just do this not long ago?"
"It's been a whole month. That's too long... Leader, have mercy on me, please... Fuck my pussy. Nothing else satisfies me but your cock."
"Already that bad?"
"Yes... a whole month already."
"Fine. How can I say no when you beg like that?"
Aah...! Ji-hyuk pulled out his cock. Her desperate face lit up in an instant. Just seeing it made her juices gush.
He beckoned her onto the bed. She sprang up, climbed on, and spread her legs again, lying back.
Now the mage was fully conquered—ready to spread for her leader anytime.
"Gonna shove it right in. That okay?"
"Yes, yes, do whatever you want. Anything goes. Fuck me however."
She meant it. Whatever he did, she'd take it.
His massive, weapon-like cock approached her crotch slowly. Her pussy was already soaked enough for no foreplay. ...Truth be told, it always got like this thinking of him. Habits were scary.
Ji-hyuk thrust straight in. Her hot, soft pussy molded around him as it swallowed his length. Halfway in, he slammed the rest home with a wet squelch.
—!!
"Hiiik—!!"
Her neck snapped back, then forward. Her areolas prickled with bumps. Her nipples hardened like erections.
Ji-hyuk teased her nipples with his index fingers while rocking his hips.
"Haang, hiiik, ahk, ahp, aa, aang, eung, ahng—!"
She whipped her head side to side, writhing under the relentless stimulation. Drool she couldn't swallow streamed down her cheeks.
It had been ages for Ji-hyuk too. A full month since fucking her, as she'd said. Of course, she sucked him off plenty. Deny her that, and she'd probably lose her mind. Sparing it made the fucking all the sweeter. Fairy-tight was great, but this soft, plush feel was too. And her reactions added that perfect flavor.
The hero shoved his middle finger into her mouth. She sucked it like a cock, swirling her tongue wildly. Her sweet mmphs as she devoured it were anything but normal.
He wiped the slick saliva from his finger across her nose and cheeks. She stuck out her tongue long, letting him do as he pleased.
Ji-hyuk gathered her tits together, nipples touching, and sucked and nibbled them both at once. All while pounding her hard, of course.
She clawed at her own hair. She was going insane. Her hands wouldn't stay still.
"Haak, ahk, ahp, ahng, ahng, ahp, prh, heung, heuk, haat."
He released her nipples and lifted his torso. Then he yanked her legs up high, tilting her ass off the bed, and mounted her fully.
Slap, slap, slap. The brutal pistoning began. His cock buried to the hilt, their pubes grinding together. With his full weight slamming down, she couldn't endure it sane.
"Aak, aak, aaaak, ahk, haak, ahp, eop, ak, aaak—."
Her moans turned to screams. Overwhelming pleasure's aftermath. Her mind went white. Orgasms crashed over her relentlessly.
Yael flailed in deathly ecstasy. All she could manage was feeble struggles and shrieks.
Ji-hyuk gripped her slender neck with one massive hand. Kyaak—. Her breath cut off; she lolled her tongue and clutched his arm. Her vision blurred even with eyes open. The pleasure felt strangely hazy. But her pussy clenched harder. Every muscle contracted for air. Saliva poured from her cheeks. Tears welled. Her face flushed crimson.
He eased his grip slightly. Prhiiip—. She gulped thin breaths. Then it clamped again. Her pussy squeezed fiercer.
Aa, aaaah—. Pleasure hammered her oxygen-starved body. Indescribable—blunt yet sharp, carving into her flesh. Die, die, dying, air, air, air, aa, aa, die, aaa, air, breathe, gotta breathe, aaa, pussy, pussyyyy, so good, aaa, airrrr—.
Her eyelids fluttered; eyes rolled back. Her grip on his arm strengthened desperately. Her hole spasmed wildly—pure survival instinct.
Only then did Ji-hyuk release her throat fully and hammer with all his might.
"Prhaaah, aaaah, pahaaah, aaaah, aaaah—."
Ecstasy flooded her like a bursting dam. She couldn't even scream. Her abs clenched hard. Her nails raked his arm.
Ji-hyuk pounded to crush her pussy. His climax built. Even without the chokehold, she gasped like she was suffocating. Her eyes rolled occasionally.
He slammed a few more times, then yanked out at the brink, spraying across her body. Her pussy squirted like a hose. Her body convulsed madly. Her tits jiggled lewdly.
Ji-hyuk caught his breath, gazing down at the spasming Yael. Her tremors faded to limpness. She panted like the dying—harsher than during the climb.
Her body was drenched in sweat, a ragdoll flopping limply. He spread her legs again and smacked her pussy with his palm.
"Ahp—."
Her body jolted. Focus returned to her eyes, but they were utterly spent.
"That's it? Just once?"
Hahk, hahk, hahk. Yael tremblingly reached down and spread her pussy—inviting him to use it freely.
Ji-hyuk slid his rehardened cock back in. This time, slow and gentle rocks. Her hole burned like magma. Aa, aaa—. It simmered her like water on low heat.
He leaned down for a deep, sloppy kiss. She sucked his tongue frantically, euphoric in the mental high.
"...Don't care if you're bedridden for days?"
The hero's vow to fuck her senseless till satisfied. Yael beamed dopily.
"...Yesss...!"
