Chapter 104: Garden Check (19)

Rihannan’s body felt heavy and sore in the first light of dawn. A feather-like weight wrapped around her, causing her unable to move.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a man sleeping innocently before her. He was fast asleep.

“…..”

Thick eyelashes, sharp nose, shapely defined lips, and sculpted face… she stared for a moment, her mind recalling their deeds from last night. Now he laid before her and slept peacefully. Gone was his aggressiveness from before. The thought of it caused her to blush red.

The last vestige of memory she remembered was him telling her to sleep. Everything after that was blank. Well, she did sleep thereafter. 

‘I wonder how much time has passed.’

She lifted her head and looked at the window. The sun had risen and her maidservants would soon arrive. She should get up and prepare before they make their arrival… but… Igor hugged her waist tightly. It would be difficult to wiggle out of his grasp. 

As she struggled, albeit futile, to escape, a large hand suddenly pressed on her forehead. 

“Rihannan, if you keep moving like that, you’ll only awaken the tiger that had finally fallen asleep.”

Igor’s eyes looked at her. It twinkled. 

He was a bit sleepy and doozy. Maybe it’s why his once sharp glare loosened slightly. 

“…” Seconds later, she realized the meaning of his words and carefully parted her lips, “…But it’s morning already. It’s no longer nighttime, so why are you saying…”

His eyes widened and blushed slightly.

Seeing him flustered, she thought deeply whether she made a blunder of mistake with her words. 

Igor burst out in laughter. After calming down, he caressed her arm and pulled her hand down to his pelvic area.

“Men always wake up with morning wood. You didn’t know that?” he said with a veiled voice.

The manhood she grabbed… had risen to its full size and thickness… 

She looked at his face. His expression was a blank and stupefying face. Though there was that playful smirk smeared across his lips. This sort of thing would never happen in the past. He’d leave right away in the morning or have a meal together for formality’s sake. 

This… thing… this conversation they had in the early morning was never something she expected. 

“…I… I did not know.”

She quickly pulled back her hand and stumbled on her words.

She remembered Dimitri joking casually with her that she should never rudely enter the men’s room while sleeping in the early morning. She now understood what he meant.

“…But… doing that… um… it’ll be a little difficult for me… right now… um… you see… my body is a bit…” she said shyly, her face beet red from embarrassment. 

The moment she awakened her lower area had been aching from pain. The swelling paid did not hurt much compared to their first night, but taking in a man of his size was not something she’d be able to do at this moment. 

She worried what would become of her should Igor choose to embrace her nightly…

…Would she break in half? 

Drowning in worries, Igor suddenly pulled the blanket covering her. Her naked body was revealed and now in full view. 

Rihannan quickly covered herself with both hands.

“…Igor?”

He went down near her garden and spread her legs open, unwrapping her blossomed flower. He pointed his head down and looked at her beautiful and alluring flesh. The sweet scent of her nectar wafted in the air. He breathed in the flowery scent.

Shocked, she quickly tried to close her legs. 

“Wh-wh-what are you doing? Don’t do that!”

“I’m just checking if this pretty thing is okay.”
