Episode 54. I Will Have You

2023.09.23.

Terran sat down weakly next to Grace. Then, without realizing it, he voiced the desire he had kept hidden in his heart.

“I want to kiss you.”

At his words, Leah stopped what she was doing and looked at Terran in surprise.

In fact, she hadn’t deliberately orchestrated this situation. She had heard that a wet woman could arouse a man’s desire, but she hadn’t expected Terran to actually react.

‘Wow, this effect is stronger than I thought.’

‘Well then, shall we begin the revenge?’

Leah looked at his face and vigorously toweled him dry, splashing water droplets everywhere. But Terran surprised her with unexpected words.

“I was just trying hard because you need to be moved to sign the grape agreement [contract]. I had no ulterior motives with Mary.”

‘I thought he was completely clueless, even when I tried to use her as bait.’

“Even if any other woman besides you, my Empress, stood before me, the only woman I want is you.”

Her heart fluttered at his pitiful expression.

“Would a man who locks you in prison and goes crazy even notice another woman?”

Leah shook her head repeatedly, struggling not to fall for his charm.

“But I’m also happy that you’re angry with me. Sometimes I felt like I was the only one obsessed with you.”

“No. I’m jealous too.”

She replied, her eyes sparkling. She felt a pang of displeasure whenever Terran’s attention was focused on another woman, even for a moment.

“What woman doesn’t feel something for the man she likes?”

Leah grumbled and wrapped her hair in a towel again.

“Where did the person who told me to only look at him in prison and never smile at another man go? You smiled so sweetly at Mary?”

As she spoke, her anger grew, and eventually Leah placed her calf on his lap.

“!?”

Terran looked quite surprised.

“Why? You massaged Mary’s calves so well, do it for me too.”

“Huh? Of course, I should, but if Grace acts like this, I…”.

He stared blankly at the white, smooth calf and the cute bare feet resting on his lap. It might be a lewd thought, but he desperately wanted to feel her skin.

“Why, do you hate it? Never mind then!”

As Leah grumbled and tried to move her leg, Terran hurriedly stopped her.

‘You massaged another woman’s calves so well, why are you hesitating with me?’

Leah still vividly remembered him touching Mary’s calves.

Terran grabbed Grace’s calf with both hands.

‘Damn it! It feels like kneading flour.’

It was just as he had imagined. The sensation spread from his fingertips to every blood vessel in his body. His excitement grew stronger and stronger.

But the problem was that his hands were instinctively trying to move further up. He wanted to go past her calf to her thigh, or even explore more intimate places.

However, Terran restrained himself. Instead, he kissed Grace’s calf, as well as her instep and each of her toes.

“!?”

Leah was startled and quickly pulled her leg away. She had crossed a line for a moment, driven by anger.

She moved away from him and sat down.

“That’s enough now.”

At first, she had started it to tease him, but conversely, she had been swept up in a strange feeling. On the other hand, Terran’s face was full of regret.

“Ha! Isn’t that too much?”

Terran also reached his limit of patience and became serious.

“What?”

“You should give me something, whether it’s a kiss or a signature on the grape agreement.”

“What does Terran want?”

“Both.”

“Just one.”

“Then a kiss.”

His large hand grabbed Grace’s ankle and pulled her towards him.

“Oh my!”

Terran roughly kissed Grace, who was lying on the bed, pressing her down with his body. She had been teasing him since he came in, and now she was trying to run away like a sly fox.

He breathed hot breath onto her lips, which were parted like flower petals.

Leah was embarrassed at first, but soon her body responded to him. Her hands frantically messed up Terran’s black hair.

Terran wanted to leave the first mark on her white skin, like a field of freshly fallen snow. His hands, which had been caressing Leah’s face, soon began to explore her body.

Leah burst into laughter at the ticklish sensation. However, with Terran’s playful yet lingering touch, Leah soon forgot about the grape signature and everything else. She just wanted to enjoy this touch for as long as possible.

Terran, unable to restrain himself any longer, had already trapped her between his knees and was unbuttoning her shirt.

“I will have you. All night long.”

“Te…rran.”

She was confused by the contradictory feeling of why she couldn’t refuse him, but rather hoped that he wouldn’t leave her alone.

She couldn’t take her eyes off the firm chest muscles that appeared each time he undid a button. Leah swallowed hard.

Soon, if he took off that shirt, his massive shoulders would be revealed. He might crush her with that enormous body and give her pleasure.

Terran glared at Grace like a hungry beast. He was overwhelmed with a desperate desire, as if he would devour her at any moment.

As he was about to undo the last button, Leah squeezed her eyes shut.

At the same time, the door opened, noisy footsteps were heard, and the bed shook.

“What are you doing?”

Chanel jumped onto the bed with a lollipop in her mouth.

“Ah! I know. You’re making a baby.”

“!?”

Terran and Leah were startled.

Only then did Leah feel her reason, which had flown to a distant universe, return. Her mind flashed and she became fully aware of the situation.

Terran grumbled in a low voice and left the bedroom.

Just in time, Pauline ran over and slapped Chanel on the back.

“Hey! You, really!”

She hadn’t intentionally let Chanel go in because Terran and Grace were in the same room, but it was a disaster that she had given Chanel a new candy in the kitchen.

[Am I going to brag to Grace unnie [older sister]? This is so delicious!]

Then she ran to Grace’s bedroom so fast that her feet couldn’t be seen.

Pauline stared blankly at Chanel’s back and belatedly tried to stop her.

“You clueless thing!”

“No! The mister’s grape isn’t all filled yet. It’s not fun if you allow it too easily.”

Leah nodded her head without realizing it at Chanel’s words. This time, she hadn’t seduced him.

‘That was close. I almost fell for Terran.’

Terran’s kiss was as sweet as the sugar on Chanel’s lips. So dizzying. Above all, his body stimulated her instincts.

Leah covered her mouth with her hand.

‘What, did I want it more?’

Who says women are better at restraining themselves? She experienced firsthand that it wasn’t always the case.

Terran woke up in the morning and picked up the water glass on the table. He drank the water in one gulp, and just as he was about to put the glass down, he was startled. There were ten signatures on the grape agreement.

‘Did an impish fairy visit at night?’

He felt pathetic for only sleeping. Still, having ten signatures on the grape agreement was something to start the morning off right.

After breakfast, Luke and James arrived with the settlement documents in earnest.

“James, how is the employee management going?”

“I fired Nancy. Of course, I’m keeping a close eye on the remaining employees as well.”

“Allen wouldn’t have bribed just one person.”

Terran was always concerned about that aspect. There were so many employees in the mansion that management was not easy.

James and the head maid were constantly working hard, but the truth was that there was no way to stop them if they were determined to do harm.

“By the way, we need to select a new maid for Grace. Pauline is going to be in charge of the workshop.”

“Is that so? I’ll have to discuss that matter with Grace.”

“The income from the general store is amazing. I didn’t think we could make money selling lace.”

Luke clicked his tongue as he looked at the tax accounting books. To be honest, only the general store was owned by Terran, but Grace was entirely in charge of the management.

“It seems that the young lady has a talent for business.”

James also added a word. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to recognize and bring in Sonia and Adolf at a glance.

“She might start overseas trade if this goes on.”

Terran smiled as he signed the documents.

“By the way, when is the Royal Equestrian Competition?”

“It’s in a week.”

Luke said that he had reserved a hotel for the Duke’s family to stay in.

Originally, Terran and Grace were guests of the Bellis Imperial Family, so they were expected to stay in the Imperial Palace with the Empress. Only the rest of the group would be staying at the hotel.

‘That’s a relief, there’s no chance of Chanel barging in.’

It was a terrible experience.

* * *

There were four days left until the Royal Equestrian Competition held in Bellis.

Tomorrow was the day to depart for Bellis. But Leah couldn’t fall asleep.

The completed riding suit was very satisfactory, but she couldn’t calm down when she imagined showing it to so many people.

‘Should I go back and check it again?’

Leah put on a gown over her chemise [a simple undergarment] and headed to the music room on the 5th floor.

The 5th floor was where the Duke’s family’s educational study rooms were located, such as the music room, ballroom, art room, and study room.

Among them, Leah kept her riding suit in the music room, which also housed a piano. Of course, she was the only one who had the key to the music room.

Finally, she arrived in front of the music room.

‘I’ve seen it more than a hundred times, but I’m still nervous.’

Even though she was the one who designed the riding suit, she felt excited as if she were seeing a new creation.

‘It will be shown to people all over the world in three days.’

The thought alone sent shivers down her spine. Leah took out the key and put it in the lock.

But before she could turn the key, the door opened slightly.

‘What? Why is the door…?’

In an instant, a bad feeling gave her goosebumps.

Leah threw the door open and clearly saw a sharp blade making a fierce ripping sound.

“Who is it?”

When Leah shouted, the woman who was tearing the clothes with a knife hurriedly ran towards the window.

Leah quickly chased after the woman and grabbed her around the waist.
