Under the Oak Tree



358 Chapter 119

Riftan pulled her face toward his. As soon as he began devouring her lips, Maxi responded with urgency, sucking his probing tongue and wrapping her legs around his steel-like body. He held her tight and thrust all the way in. Seeking more, he relentlessly rocked his hips, his brittle hairs rubbing against her groin.

She clasped him back as she convulsed with pleasure. He was in too deep. Though she felt a twinge of fear that he would tear her apart, their frenzied pleasure eclipsed everything. She tore at his sweat- soaked tunic as if wrestling to occupy the same space. Before long, Riftan reached his climax inside her, and the intensity of it made her shudder. 

Her body had sent him over the edge. She was so gratified by this that she barely cared that she was being crushed under his weight. Still quivering, her opening drew in his furiously pulsating member. 

When Riftan eventually raised himself, Maxi lay slack on the bed, panting. His face was slick with sweat, and his eyes burned with desire. The cold and indifferent knight was no longer. 

However, her joy at seeing him so disheveled was short-lived. Riftan slowly pulled out of her, and Maxi shuddered as lukewarm fluid trickled between her legs. Feeling embarrassed, she was about to lower the skirt bunched around her waist when he abruptly grabbed her, flipping her face down on the bed. 

Flustered, she twisted around to look at him. Riftan threw off his tunic and reached out, stripping off the folds of fabric awkwardly wrapped around her. Once she was stark naked, he pulled her into his arms. 

The color drained from Maxi's face as she felt something hot between her legs. He rubbed his large, still-erect shaft against her opening, then entered her before she could speak. 

Maxi clutched at the sheet. Her inner wall, sensitive from repeated climaxes, began to spasm. Riftan began moving his hips without giving her time to adjust. Flustered, she tried to crawl away for a brief reprieve, but he clearly had no intention of letting her go. 

He was persistent, pushing her legs apart with his knee and thrusting even deeper. Falling flat on her stomach, Maxi arched her back. His member struck a particular spot, sending a bolt of pure sensation through her. Sparks flew before her eyes. Her limbs convulsed, and saliva dribbled from her gaping mouth. 

Worry suddenly gripped her. Any more of this and she feared she would never be able to return to everyday life. She began to sob pitifully as she furiously clawed at his arms. 

"N-No more. I can't h-handle any more."

"I can't hear you," Riftan mumbled, nibbling her neck. "I can't hear a thing right now." 

He continued his unrelenting thrusts. Maxi realized then that she had toyed with something she should never have touched. He had not been exaggerating when he had said she had driven him mad. 

Riftan propelled her to great heights, then higher. All coherent thought wiped from her mind, Maxi could only bounce back and forth with his movements and give in to the unending cascade of orgasms. 

The night went on until a pale dawn light began to filter through the window. Barely managing to lift her eyelids, Maxi blearily looked around the room. The bedchamber they had barged into without permission was furnished with startling opulence. 

Where on earth are we? 

Half-dazed, she was vacantly regarding their surroundings when an arm pulled her up. Maxi twitched and hunched over. Still inside her, Riftan carried her to the edge of the bed. There, he made her lean back against his chest and directed her gaze to something in front of them. 

Maxi gasped. Propped next to the bed was a full-length mirror. Grabbing her beneath her knees, Riftan lifted her legs so she could see their union. 

"They say the imperial family of Roem reveled in all sorts of obscene games near the empire's end." 

Maxi stared at her reflection in utter shock. It was surreal. She could very distinctly see her red, swollen folds between her wide- open legs, and his veined shaft penetrating her. 

He shifted his hips, and the base of his member disappeared inside her. A white, viscid fluid oozed out. 

Maxi took in a sharp breath. Though her chest felt close to bursting from the lewd sight, she could not look away. 

Riftan also appeared enthralled by their reflection as he began to move in and out of her. His feverish eyes traveled from her flushed face to her heaving chest, slender waist, and down to her opening that was eagerly swallowing his girth. 

Maxi could see his throat bobbing up and down. He released one of her legs to press his fingers into her wet pubic hair. Exposing the hard nub concealed within, he began to rub it up and down. 

The sensation was so intense that Maxi sucked in her stomach and bit down on her lip. The tantalizing feeling bubbling in her stomach made her clamp around him. To her mortification, the mirror showed how hungrily her body was devouring him. 

She could no longer bear to look. Closing her eyes, she turned her face away.

"Open your eyes," Riftan whispered, nipping her shoulder. His voice was hoarse with passion. "Open your eyes and see how we're connected." 

When Maxi shook her head, he thrust with more force and gently tugged her swollen nipple. The night-long caresses had left her body sensitive to even the lightest touch. Urged on by his sweet but ruthless threat, Maxi opened her eyes.

Riftan breathed a satisfied sigh. He murmured in her ear, "Keep your eyes open. Watch how I fill you... how you take me in." 

His rocking picked up speed. Maxi realized that he was also at his limit. His manhood twitched and expanded each time she clamped around him, and tendons bulged from his strained arms and neck.

Bouncing up and down, she watched him in a trance before gripping his bronzed shoulders to prepare for the coming fall.

Finally, Riftan drove himself to the hilt and began to shudder. Warm fluid flowed out of their tightly-joined union, soaking their groins. The raw scene was the last thing Maxi saw before she finally gave in to a deep slumber. 

When she awoke, it was to the sweet taste of fruity nectar spreading in her mouth. She managed to pry her eyes open and found Riftan sitting askew on the bed, holding a goblet to his lips. Confusion clouded her mind. Only when he made her open her mouth and brought his lips down did she grasp what he was doing. In a daze, Maxi swallowed the wine he slowly fed her. His sweet tongue caressed the insides of her cheeks before she tasted the apple wine, the nectar helping to clear her thoughts. 

Surprised, she gazed at the small bedside table. Resting upon it was a silver tray filled with an assortment of beverages, honey-pickled fruits, and bite-sized tarts. Unease suddenly clutched her heart.

"D-Did someone come in?" 

"A maidservant," Riftan replied tersely, feeding her a slice of apple.

Holding the fruit in her mouth, she looked up at him in disbelief. Not only were traces of their passionate lovemaking scattered about the room, but they were both lying on the bed, completely exposed. The mere thought of someone seeing her in such a state made her want to shrivel up from shame. 

She hastily tried to free herself, but her unresponsive legs made it impossible. 

"Just stay still. We can't resume just yet," he said calmly, pulling her back to rest against his chest. 

Maxi gulped down the food in her mouth to exclaim incredulously, "I-I am trying to end it, n-not start it again! We need to g-get out of this-" 

"End it?" 

Maxi flinched at the dangerous edge in his voice.

"Did you think this would end once you were satisfied? It's never that simple, Maxi. If I had intended it to end so easily, I would not have tried so hard to hold myself back." 

He cupped her breast, gently kneading her nipple with his thumb. Maxi felt her hair stand on end. He parted her legs, his touch tender as he caressed her opening, still slick with the evidence of their union.

"You wanted to know my true feelings, didn't you?" 

Nibbling her earlobe, he slowly slipped a finger inside her. 

"You won't be leaving this room." 

"W-What do you-" 
Her words caught in her throat as his gently probing finger withdrew and brushed up her thigh, leaving a wet trail. He parted her legs over his waist. Soon, his rigid member filled her. 

All the tension eased from her, and she went slack on top of him. Riftan patted her back to soothe her moans, bringing a small piece of fruit to her mouth. "Eat. You've been asleep for half the day, so you'll be hungry." 

Maxi gazed up at him as though he were a stranger. Did he truly think she would be able to eat in this situation? When she shook her head, Riftan clicked his tongue reprovingly as if dealing with a fussy child and pressed the fruit into her mouth.
