Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Pleasing Her
A Beastman’s genes leaned more toward their beast side, influencing their every word and action.
Both males and females experienced periods of heat.
If it wasn’t dealt with, a young female would think of nothing but mating.
If you took your eyes off her for a second, she might run into another male’s arms, getting all clingy. Then she’d be covered in the scent of other males, and who knows how long it would take to wash it off.
Given the Duke’s fastidiousness, such a pet would not be allowed to remain by his side.
To keep his sense of smell from being tainted, and to be able to keep holding her as he slept... freewebnovel.cσ๓
Duke Bolan made a decision.
Yu Zhizhi was still confused.
She didn’t understand what the Duke meant.
’...Satisfy her?’
’Satisfy what?’
"However—" The Duke’s tone shifted, a low chuckle lacing his words. "There must be punishment before there can be a reward."
A twinge of pain came from her neck.
Yu Zhizhi’s brow furrowed. Her hands clutched at the deep purple robes of the man before her as she felt his teeth gently bite her neck.
He didn’t use any force.
The little female was delicate and soft; any more pressure, and he feared she might start bleeding profusely.
His serpent’s fang, which hadn’t been sharpened in a long time, tingled as it touched her delicate skin. It only indented a little, not even daring to break the surface.
But the little rabbit whimpered and tried to struggle.
’He called this a punishment?’
’With so little force, what kind of punishment was it?’
He released her and licked the bite mark.
The corners of Yu Zhizhi’s eyes reddened, and she looked pitifully wronged, as if she’d been bullied.
He scoffed. "So delicate."
This little female was more delicate than any pet he had ever kept.
She would cry at the drop of a hat.
"You can’t even handle this? What will you do later?" The Duke’s voice was languid. He gently wrapped one arm around the rabbit’s slender waist, while his other hand came to rest at the base of her spine.
There, she had a fluffy rabbit tail.
The little female rabbit’s tail was a small, round tuft of fur, incredibly soft to the touch.
It fit easily in his palm. He tightened his fingers slightly and felt the soft body in his arms give a sudden shudder.
"Ngh..." Yu Zhizhi bit her lip, leaning against the Duke’s chest, her hands helplessly clenching his lapels.
’Don’t...’
’Don’t touch my tail...’
A Beastman’s tail was extremely sensitive. When deliberately stroked and teased, a tingling numbness shot through her entire body.
The Duke had never touched it before.
This was the first time.
He smelled the sweet fragrance on the little female. It was subtly different from usual, carrying a special new scent.
It was a scent that would trigger a male’s beastly desires.
The Duke’s golden, slitted pupils gradually darkened. A hint of a smile played on his lips, and his voice held a trace of amusement.
"Are you ready?"
’Ready for what?’
Yu Zhizhi’s mind had gone blank. She raised her head in a daze, staring at the man’s jawline.
"I am going to reward you."
The hand that had been stroking her rabbit tail slowly slid under her dress.
She felt her whole body begin to tremble.
Her breathing grew ragged.
A blush spread across Yu Zhizhi’s skin.
’The sensation is so clear...’
’I can’t stop him.’
The Duke’s movements were light and gentle. His golden, slitted pupils stared at her flushed face. Noticing the little female’s attempt to shy away, he tightened his arm slightly, easily trapping her in his embrace.
"Don’t hide."
"Whatever I give you, you must open your body and soul to receive it. You are not allowed to refuse."
The pressure from his fingers increased, carrying a hint of aggression.
The small pearl hidden within her soft flesh was squeezed firmly.
Yu Zhizhi’s legs trembled.
With reddened eyes, she leaned into the Duke’s embrace, sniffled, and gently nuzzled his neck and shoulder in a silent plea.
The Duke’s movements softened a little.
His golden, slitted pupils fell on the little rabbit’s nose. "This is the first time I have ever attended to a female. You should cherish it."
He would never have done something like this in the past.
Not for a pet, certainly.
Even for a future Duchess, it would have been absolutely impossible.
’But what is he doing now?’
’He’s pleasuring a little pet in heat.’
Although in the Duke’s heart, no female outside of the Snake Clan was worthy of mating with him, he couldn’t just leave this little rabbit to her own devices.
Helping her release her desire could also be considered a reward for her obedience these past few days.
Yu Zhizhi leaned against the Duke’s chest, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She heard the man’s low chuckle by her ear. "You’re already so wet. Does it feel that good?"
"..." Yu Zhizhi squeezed her eyes shut and bit down on the fabric of the man’s robes at his shoulder in silent protest.
On this spring night, the air in the study gradually grew thin.
A faint, salty-sweet fragrance filled the air—the scent of an aroused female, far more potent than it was during the day.
The little female’s rabbit ears trembled faintly.
Yu Zhizhi bit down harder. Even through the cloth, he could feel her tiny rabbit teeth—the same teeth that couldn’t even tear the meat at the dinner table. All she could do was mouth the wrinkled, deep purple fabric of the Duke’s robe.
As the surging sensations inside her crested, her breathing grew more and more rapid, until she finally couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.
...She slowly opened her eyes. They were misty, shimmering like a pool of spring water.
...
「Afterward.」
Yu Zhizhi hid herself under the covers, curled up and wrapped so tightly that not a single gap remained.
Her cheeks were burning. Thinking about what had just happened, she didn’t know how to face him and could only hide for the time being.
’The little pet seems to be sulking.’
His mood was now excellent. Unexpectedly, he found that the pleasure she could bring him far exceeded his imagination.
Yu Zhizhi felt the bed dip behind her.
The next second, the Duke pulled her, blanket and all, back into his arms.
The Duke coaxed her softly, "Tomorrow, I’ll find a better doctor to treat the slave you rescued."
’...That Wild Dog.’
’His injuries really are severe.’
Yu Zhizhi kept her head buried under the covers and said nothing.
The Duke continued:
"We’ll have guests in the manor. Just in case, I’ll have Guard Captain Jieao secretly protect you." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
He could satisfy all of the little female’s wishes.
But—
"You can be friends with him, but that’s all."
"If I discover you have any more intimate contact, next time won’t be as simple as tonight."
"Do you understand?"
Yu Zhizhi held her rabbit ears and gave a soft "oh."
She still had no strength.
When the Duke pulled her over, her legs felt like jelly.
Suddenly, the blanket was thrown off.
Cool air washed over her.
Yu Zhizhi’s burning cheeks were exposed, along with her two rabbit ears, which drooped slightly as if she were in a daze.
The man’s low chuckle came from behind her. "What, are you trying to suffocate yourself?"
’This silly rabbit.’
Pulling her into his arms with practiced ease, the Duke found that he was growing more and more fond of sleeping with her.
The nightmares that had plagued him for years were becoming much less frequent.
When he held her, the empty space in his heart felt as if it had been filled.
’If only I could keep her chained to my side.’
’Take her with me wherever I go.’
’To hold her, stroke her, and tease her whenever I please.’
’Or...’
’Just like tonight...’
’...tend to the desires of her heat.’
