Chapter 541: The Cardinal's Worry
Chapter 541: The Cardinal's Worry
Because everything I’d been holding back had finally exploded, my semen shot up not just onto Vanessa’s stomach, but all the way to her chest, painting her entire body white.
“Hnngh… Haa… Haah…”
It was over. It was finally over. In the end, I finished without betraying my girls.
As I listened to Vanessa’s whimpers, still lost in the afterglow of her climax, that was the thought that filled my mind.
I only came once, but for some reason, my body feels completely drained.
I let my body follow its instincts and lay back in the tub.
Then, as if her own strength had left her, Vanessa pushed her hips back and collapsed on top of me.
This is just like before… Whoa!
The moment I had that thought, an incredible pleasure shot through my Dick again.
No way… Is Vanessa giving me a cleanup blowjob?!
Seeing as she was resting her head on my thigh, she was clearly exhausted. And yet, despite that, Vanessa was sucking my cock.
“Mmph… slurp… Haa… slurp…”
I couldn’t see her, but the lewd sounds coming from below were once again stoking my lust.
As if my earlier thought about being drained was a lie, my Dick was already regaining its hardness.
This is dangerous. This is just going to be a repeat of what happened before.
“Hey. Vanessa. That’s enough… Ugh!”
I tried to tell Vanessa to stop, but she only started sucking me harder than before.
It was only then that I realized I had misunderstood something.
This… isn’t a cleanup blowjob. This is just a blowjob!
Then does she still want to?!
…Ah. Come to think of it, when she was grinding on me after she’d already come, did I ever turn off my skill?
…
Let’s not fail this time.
Just like before, I had no choice but to move before Vanessa did.
“Haah… Haah… Haah…”
A short while later, Vanessa and I were both collapsed in the bathtub.
To be precise, Vanessa was lying face down with her limbs splayed out, and I was lying on top of her, covering her body with mine.
My Dick, having ejaculated once more, had gone limp, but it was still between Vanessa’s thighs.
This time, unlike before, we’d been in a doggy-style position.
Of course, that was just the position; I hadn’t actually inserted it.
Just like before, I had only placed it between her thighs and stimulated her by rubbing her vulva against the top of my shaft.
I lost count of how many times I was tempted to just “accidentally” slip it in.
I was genuinely proud of myself for resisting that temptation.
“Haah… Haa… Please… move…”
How long had we been lying there, piled on top of each other?
Vanessa, her breathing still ragged, managed to squeeze out those words.
Hearing that weak voice, so hard to imagine from her usual self, I pushed myself up with my arms.
My Dick, still wedged between Vanessa’s tightly closed thighs, slipped out with a lewd squelch, covered in her juices and my semen.
“Hnngh!”
My glans must have brushed against her clitoris again on the way out, because Vanessa’s calves and buttocks lifted slightly as she flinched and trembled.
In any case, once I moved off her, Vanessa sluggishly pushed herself up and sat down in the tub.
She pulled her knees to her chest, wrapped her arms tightly around her legs, and buried her face between them.
Hey, hey! What’s with her? This is so unlike her.
Before, she’d always just coolly brushed things off and moved on.
“…Hey. You’re not crying, are you?”
Flustered by this unexpected situation and honestly having no idea what to say, I ended up blurting out something so tactless.
“…I am not crying.”
Thankfully, Vanessa didn’t seem to mind and replied as such.
Though her voice did have an uncharacteristic sadness to it.
“I simply feel pathetic.”
“What? Pathetic? What are you talking about? If anything, it’s amazing you held out for so long without showing anything. I mean, sure, it was a little foolish, but you’re not pathetic. It’s okay.”
“That’s not it. It’s not…”
Unsurprisingly, my clumsy attempt at comfort was no help at all. Vanessa’s voice trailed off, and she refused to uncurl from her huddled position.
For her to be this dejected… And she said that’s not it. Then what…
Thinking it over, I had a guess.
The fact that she kept trying to have sex with me even after she’d already climaxed. And that she’d tried to kiss me.
It made sense that she’d be this down on herself right after doing something like that.
Especially for our super-butler, who always showed a perfectionist streak. She must be feeling even more dejected.
Can’t be helped. I guess I’ll have to soothe her a bit.
Normally, I was the one vowing to one day make her cry, but seeing her so crestfallen, I couldn’t just leave her be.
I swear, even I think I’m too nice sometimes.
“Hey. Is it because you kept clinging to me even after Felicia’s heat wore off when you came?”
“Ngh…!”
At my words, Vanessa’s back twitched.
It wasn’t a direct answer, but judging by her reaction, I was right on the money.
Seriously? She did that even after the heat was gone?
Well, I guess so. No matter how perfect she seems, she’s still human.
She’d been suppressing her heat for days.
Just because Felicia’s influence was gone, there was no way she’d be satisfied with a simple climax from foreplay.
That’s why Vanessa had impulsively tried to have sex with me.
I get it. I do. Sometimes in life, you act on instinct rather than reason.
Besides, we didn’t actually do it in the end, so it’s fine. All’s well that ends well.
“Why are you getting worked up over something like that? Your heat wasn’t gone. You were just out of your mind because of my skill. I accidentally messed up the timing for turning it off.”
It was a lie. The second time I made her come, I really had failed, but the first time, I had succeeded perfectly.
But if I told her that, Vanessa would stay like this, so I decided to lie, even if it meant tarnishing my own image a little.
It’s not like my image could get any worse in her eyes, anyway.
“Wha—What are you…!”
At my words, Vanessa snapped her head up and stared at me with a look of disbelief.
She must have thought she’d lost her senses, so finding out it was actually my fault would naturally make her angry.
Staring at me with that incredulous expression, Vanessa remained silent for a moment before shaking her head as if to say she was at a loss and letting out a sigh.
“……Haaah. Is that so.”
Huh? I thought she’d chew me out for sure after finding out it was my fault.
Surprisingly, she let it go without much of a fuss.
“Sorry, sorry. It wasn’t on purpose. Well, I was a little excited myself. You were looking pretty sexy, you know?”
Seeing her reaction, I put on a deliberately playful grin.
“That statement you just made constitutes sexual harassment.”
Vanessa’s expression returned to its usual blank slate as she spoke in a stiff tone.
Our super-butler Vanessa was completely back to her old self, with no trace of the dejected woman from moments ago.
“Come on. We can’t talk like that after we’ve been skin-to-skin, can we?”
“Please do not speak as if you and I are in a sexual relationship. This incident was a case of force majeure. If it were not, Master Guwon, you would now be…”
Now be what? What? Why’d you trail off at such a scary moment?
What is it? Why are you looking at my neck? What? You’d separate it? If it wasn’t force majeure, my head and body would be in two different places right now?
“C-Come on. What’s with that? You were the one masturbating while thinking of me.”
Even under her gaze, I managed to maintain my smile and speak playfully.
After acting so brazen and smug, it would be a total loss of face to get scared now.
“Ngh…! Thinking of you? Me?”
Oh? To be honest, I’d had a feeling that’s what she was doing before I came in, so I just threw it out there.
But surprisingly, Vanessa showed a meaningful reaction. So, was it true?
“Yeah. You were masturbating in the bathtub, right? In this room’s bathtub, no less. The very place where I touched your body.”
As I spoke, I lifted Vanessa’s chin to meet her eyes and gave her my most charming smile.
Smack!
But Vanessa simply slapped my hand away with the back of her own as if it were nothing.
Then, still maintaining her deadpan expression, she opened her mouth.
“I was merely recalling that Lady Sara and Lady Silvia were returned to normal by you, Master Guwon.”
“There you go again. You shouldn’t lie, you know? If that were the case, you should have come to me directly. There’s no reason to be masturbating in here…”
“I was simply concerned that some sort of germs might have been left behind.”
I had been about to continue speaking with a sly grin, but Vanessa’s last words finally broke my spirit.
Germs. Germs… She’s treating my ability like a disease.
So not only does she not have feelings for me, she thinks I’m absolutely disgusting!
“Hey, you! This is an ability given to me by the Goddess, you know?! That’s blasphemy!”
“My apologies. Master Guwon’s image is just so… ahem.”
“So what?! So what?! What about my image?”
“It is nothing. Now, would you please move? I would like to wash myself.”
Ignoring my interrogation, Vanessa just said what she needed to say.
This woman… I tell a white lie to cheer her up, and now she’s getting all high and mighty…
I’m your master’s… man, you know?!
Seriously, this woman. One day, I’ll definitely make her cry.
But that was that, and this was this.
Separate from my desire to make her cry was the fact that she was drop-dead gorgeous.
Her naked body, still in her Dragonian form, exuded a unique charm that was slightly different from that of a normal human.
“Haaah. Fine. Then let’s wash up toge—just kidding. You go first.”
I tried to slyly suggest we wash together while pretending to be resigned, but Vanessa’s cold glare, as if she were looking at an insect, stopped me from finishing my sentence.
I’ll say it again, I’m your master’s man. The one you’re supposed to serve. Isn’t it rude to look at me like that?
No, even if I wasn’t someone you had to serve, it’s rude to look at anyone like that. Got it?
Well, at least it seemed she only looked at me that way, which was a relief… No. Not a relief at all!
Anyway, for that reason, I decided to get out of the tub and wait for Vanessa to finish washing.
I could have just summoned a spirit to wash myself, but my encounter with Vanessa had been so intense that I wanted a proper wash. Besides, tonight was Diana’s turn, so I had to be extra clean.
Then why not just go wash in another room?
Well, my clothes were all torn, so I needed to get a new set, and it would feel gross to put on fresh clothes like this.
Of course, that was just an excuse. I simply wanted to appreciate the view of Vanessa washing up.
She had pulled the opaque curtain, but I could still see her silhouette.
Hey, I worked incredibly hard not to betray my girls, so I deserve this much, right?
“Ngh! You were still here.”
Having finally finished grooming herself, Vanessa stepped out of the tub and muttered in surprise upon seeing me.
She reflexively moved her hands to cover her body, but then, as if deciding that covering herself was more embarrassing, she lowered them and stood tall with her back straight.
“I have to wash up, too. I can’t leave like this, can I? And I need to check on you. Are you really okay now? Don’t you go trying to hide it again, okay?”
I thought I’d be able to tell since she wasn’t wearing makeup, but after washing with hot water, Vanessa’s entire body was flushed, making it hard to gauge her condition.
“…Ngh. I am fine.”
As she answered, Vanessa’s gaze wasn’t on my eyes.
Well, I guess that’s natural. I was still naked, after all.
And what’s more, from watching Vanessa bathe, my Dick had become ramrod straight again.
Because of that, even our super-butler’s eyes seemed to naturally drift downward, unable to tear themselves away from my cock.
To be honest, I was incredibly embarrassed, too.
But just like Vanessa, I felt like covering up would be admitting defeat, so I just stood there with my arms crossed.
“Um…”
“Yeah?”
“Ahem. Then why don’t you hurry up and wash?”
Vanessa, who had been about to say something with her eyes fixed on my Dick, cleared her throat when I prompted her and spat out the words stiffly, her face a mask.
“Right. I’m about to.”
“Ngh!”
As I said that and approached the tub, Vanessa hastily stepped away from it, avoiding me.
Then she saw her clothes neatly folded on a chair in the room and let out a soft groan.
Hey now. I didn’t just watch you shower, you know.
It felt wrong to leave them scattered on the floor, so I figured I’d tidy up.
Embarrassed that I had cleaned up the clothes she had strewn about, Vanessa’s face remained expressionless, but she strode over to her clothes with larger steps than usual and began to dress.
“Hey. Are you going to wear those panties? They’re still wet.”
“…I will change in my room. Please mind your own business.”
Honestly, her mouth, even when I’m trying to be considerate.
She really only acts like that with me.
“Fine. I’m gonna take a shower then. See yourself out.”
“I will do so without you telling me.”
“Ah, wait. And.”
“What is it now?”
“I’ll explain what happened today to Diana properly. So don’t go feeling any weird guilt or anything.”
“……Thank you.”
Finally offering a word of thanks, the fully dressed Vanessa gave me a quick bow and left the room.
