The Antlion's Pit (23)
"......." I hesitated for a moment before answering. Of course, I knew the correct response in this situation. I also knew that giving it would work in my favor. But the human heart is a fickle thing—when someone draws near, we want to pull away, and when they retreat, we want to chase. Sun Quan's confession was so direct and intense that, even knowing it was built on a lie, I found myself reluctant to answer right away.
"Um......well......" Still, there was no other choice. If I had to lie, I might as well make it the kind of lie she would like best. Rationalizing it to myself, I answered her confession with feigned warmth.
"I feel the same."
Even if I was good at lying, it didn't seem wise to let her see my face for too long. Instead of lingering in eye contact, I pulled her waist into my arms and pressed my lips to hers, answering her confession in a far more direct way.
"......" Come to think of it, until now I had always treated her roughly, like a doll, convinced she was under the drug's influence. This was the first time we were kissing while she was fully conscious.
Thinking that, I glanced at her face. She seemed to be thinking the same thing—her cheeks were flushed deeper than usual.
"Mmm......" She appeared to have decided to simply enjoy the moment. With her eyes closed, she felt my tongue slip into her mouth and accepted it with a soft moan, meeting it eagerly. As our tongues intertwined, I caressed her nipples and the hidden place between her legs. Her excitement was obvious in the way those two points stiffened and grew slick.
"Ah...th-that's...embarrassing......"
To put it bluntly, she was standing at attention and dripping wet. What made it even more arousing was that Sun Quan—who had never shown this kind of shyness before, whether because she was drugged or acting—was now displaying genuine embarrassment for the first time. The novelty only heightened the thrill. My lower half responded by swelling to a size I had never seen before, throbbing insistently.
"......" Like my body, my mind was too aroused to care about anything else. Words were no longer enough; it was time to let actions speak. We were already on a pile of straw, and as I kissed her I slowly lowered her onto her back. The table was set—only a fool would refuse the meal.
With that conviction, I laid her fully down and began to caress her in earnest, ready to take everything I wanted. But then, unexpectedly, Sun Quan reached out and stopped me.
"......?"
"I-it's still daytime......" Seeing my confused expression, she explained shyly. Only then did I realize I had been about to do this in broad daylight, right outside the barracks with guards posted nearby.
Hmm. Maybe that was pushing it. But just as I was lamenting the missed opportunity, Sun Quan wrapped her small, soft hand around my aching length and whispered.
"Later. All right?"
Well, if that was how it was, there was nothing to be done. I wasn't particularly fond of being watched, anyway. I could endure this much—
Before I could finish the thought, a sudden, sharp pleasure from below cut it short. Looking down, I saw Sun Quan diligently servicing me with both hands and mouth.
Wait, hadn't she just said it was daytime and we would do it later?
When I looked at her with that question in my eyes, she seemed to notice. Still holding me deep in her mouth, she answered in a muffled voice.
"Buh ih wud be too thad foh Hwanin if we thtopped hewe (But it would be too sad for Hwanin if we stopped here)?"
So this was just a warm-up, not the main event? I supposed that made sense. Even if someone walked in, we could probably cover it up quickly. Still—ugh. The sight of her speaking with her mouth full like that was far too stimulating. The contrast between her innocent expression and lewd actions packed quite a punch.
In the end, I finished in her mouth almost instantly. She swallowed every drop, then looked up at me with a bright smile.
"How was it?"
Once again, it felt like there was only one possible answer. Since it was the truth anyway, I nodded.
"Really? You mean it?"
"Why would I lie about something like this?"
"Yeah? I'm glad......"
Her face as she smiled was so bright and pure. Maybe it was because she was still innocent and trusting for her age. Seeing that rare expression, I felt a strange mix of satisfaction and unease.
"So, what are you going to do after this?"
After finishing, fatigue always followed. I lay down and pulled Sun Quan into my arms, chatting idly. Since we were only allowed freedom inside the barracks, there wasn't much else to do. Talking was about all we could manage—aside from one other activity, but she had said she didn't want to do that during the day.
As we talked, the conversation eventually turned to the future. When I asked what she planned to do next, Sun Quan gave me a playful look.
"Who knows... Why do you ask?"
"You don't seriously intend to be dragged away like this, do you? I'll figure something out—"
"Hwanin, first you need to focus on getting better."
With a light flick, her finger tapped my forehead.
"You know why I surrendered, right? If you're still in pain, then my surrender was pointless. So stop worrying and just recover. Got it?"
With her speaking like that, there was nothing left to say. I had tested her a little, but she showed no sign of wanting to escape. If that was the case, then what I needed to do right now was exactly what she said—recover my strength.
The aftereffects of the drug were no joke. Even after regaining consciousness and being able to walk, I still suffered some lingering symptoms. So I accepted her kindness. During the day I focused on regaining my energy, and at night, as promised, I spent pleasant hours with Sun Quan.
"How's this?"
"No, a little more......"
It had been roughly three days. As the promised time drew near, I had learned a few things. For example, Sun Quan didn't want to jump straight into intimacy. She preferred to build the right atmosphere first. It was a bit troublesome for me, but since I had nothing else to do, I figured it would pay off later and played along.
Today's request was a massage. I straddled her back as she lay face-down and kneaded her shoulders and waist.
"Here?"
"Mmm......"
Of course, an amateur's touch was never as good as a professional's, so my hands were rather clumsy. But Sun Quan's goal wasn't really muscle relief—it was the contact itself. She seemed quite satisfied with my touch, her expression gradually relaxing.
"How is it? Feeling good?"
"Mm...a little lower......"
With so little else to do in our confined space, we had been indulging in foreplay almost without restraint—except for the main act itself. I had a pretty good idea of her sensitive spots by now. Following her request, I moved my hand to one of them.
"Ah...there...hngh......!"
At this point, there was nothing left to hide between us, and almost nothing around to interrupt. Her moan became the signal. I began to caress her openly and boldly. She responded in kind, letting out heated sounds without restraint.
Before long her clothes had come off. While pressing my fingers into the area around her armpits and chest, I stripped as well and began rubbing my length against her smooth back. Already fully erect, it throbbed and leaked at the mere sensation of her skin. Aroused even further by the situation, I found her entrance and pushed inside.
"...Huu......mmph....!"
