I Became the Obsessive Male Lead’s Ex-Wife

…I think I made a mistake. His eyes began to flash dangerously. He stroked my lips and whispered.

 

“And, Irwen. I have never once paid attention to the principles of the old people in the back room. I just held back because I was afraid you might feel burdened.”

 

“When did I feel burdened? “I refuse my feelings being judged as you please.”

 

Without realizing it, I spoke provocatively to him. My husband and I still had separate bedrooms, but there was a man who would sneak into my bedroom every time I slept, and it was Pervin. Even on days when he finished work late in the study or on nights when he stayed up late at the imperial palace processing documents, he said he would come to my bedroom first rather than go to his own bedroom and collapse. This was a fact I learned through active reporting from Mrs. Tilly and Marianne. Pervin pressed his lips against my cheek.

 

“Then, from now on, can I invade as I please?”

 

“I know you sneak here every night anyway.”

 

His green eyes became even darker.

 

“Then from now on, we’ll come visit you every night. Fair and square.”

 

He pushed his momentum forward as if he had been waiting. He started kissing my body wearing only a thin slip. From the neck that had a lot of strength, to the collarbone, to the front collar that wasn’t open. Pervin smiled lazily and pressed his body even more gently. I knew it now without having to say it. That he wants me. With the heat felt between the white skin, and with the kisses he greedily desires. The strength of my entire body disappeared as I felt the passionate feel of the space between his mouth. I was out of breath, my body was hot, and I had no choice but to cling to him. As a drop of moist saliva flowed from my lips, he swallowed my lips. Pervin held me and spun me around. Before I knew it, I was on top of his body. He held my waist with both arms and stroked my back. Every joint of my back arched under his touch.

 

“Ha… Irwen. Are you really…”

 

His lips explored me once again, and his long fingers stroked my hair. I felt it every time, but when he kissed me as if he was worshiping me, I always felt like I was possessed and couldn’t come to my senses. And the moment he placed his hand on my thigh.

 

“No… Wait.”

 

He barely took a deep breath and raised his hand. The candlelight flickering next to me caught my eye. His face shimmering in the candlelight looked like a handsome statue, but his eyes were looking right through me. It felt as if it was going to eat me, as if I was going to melt under its hot gaze. I whispered in a barely audible voice.

 

“…Please turn off the light.”

 

I whispered quietly. Pervin’s eyes widened slightly.

 

“I prefer watching you.”

 

“…It’s because I’m still too embarrassed.”

 

“Hmph.”

 

In the blink of an eye, he laid me down on the bed, lowered his head over my body and exhaled slightly.

 

“I’ll look at it because it’s cute.”

 

Then, the candle went out with a sound. The only light was the faint light of the moon and the bonfire flickering in the distance. Pervin carefully laid me down on the bed again with deft hands. I felt his strong thighs squeezing my legs. He leaned over me and whispered softly.

 

“I will give everything to you, my love.”

 

A hard yet soft body pressed against me. The moment we felt each other’s warmth and became one. Every time my hot bare skin was rubbed, I felt dizzy with the warmth that filled my heart. I hugged his back and clawed my nails. As I was biting my lip out of shame, he kissed me and whispered.

 

“Don’t hold back, you look so pretty right now that it’s killing me.”

 

Pervin’s face was covered in an obscene pink color that contrasted with his heavy breathing. Thinking that he was pretty, I clung to him again because of the dizzying feeling he gave me. It’s a night of heavy rain outside. Inside the cabin, a passionate night was going on between men and women.

 

* * *

 

Inside the room bathed in early morning sunlight. Clothes were scattered all over the tidy cabin floor. I saw red uniforms, black fishnets, white dresses, and underwear strewn about. The owners of those clothes were tangled up lazily in bed. Pervin held Irwen tightly and blinked her eyes slowly. I opened my eyes early because of my habit of waking up early as usual. However, a different feeling than usual filled him. His embrace wasn’t as empty as usual. The moment when his arms were filled with the warm body of a woman. He buried his lips in Irwen’s hair. How much I wanted to kiss that hair that was as black and beautiful as ebony wood. Pervin kept kissing her hair, which had surrounded him like the night sky last night. The kiss started from her hair and gradually moved down. Cute earlobes, white and soft cheeks, and the corners of the mouth. Her plump lips were swollen because he bit and sucked her like that yesterday. How much she wanted to have those lips on hers as she held her. And how adorable Irwen was as he clumsily attempted to kiss her while holding her breath. Pervin lightly licked her lips. What should I do about this? It seems like the fever is rising again… Can we do it one more time? Then a mumbling sound reached his ears.

 

“Hmm…”

 

Irwen pursed her lips and moved her body. She turned her body from having her back to him to facing him. She covered her body with a thin blanket. Pervin stroked her black hair back and bit her lip. Her body heated up again. He tried to shake her off, trying to control her heat. He carefully placed Irwen on her bed and got up. She was about to go out with her pants on underneath. She opened the cabin door and breathed in the cold dawn air. Normally, a cold water baptism would be perfect for this, but there is no bathroom here. The sun rose through the early morning air. I saw white lilies of the valley blooming in the moist bushes. Pervin picked one of the bunches without realizing it. Lily of the valley, said to have been planted everywhere by her late mother. Normally, she would not have even dared to pick the flowers that her mother had planted. However, it is a neat flower that resembles Irwen. As Irwen’s flushed face appeared before her eyes, her body began to heat up again. Her face turned red and he hit her cheek mercilessly. slap! I’m thinking about Irwen again. He quickly turned his gaze to the sky. Seeing that there are few clouds, the weather looks good today. Looking at the fluffy clouds reminded me of Irwen’s pale cheeks. Her soft cheek that I kissed like that last night. It was truly desirable. She was everything: cute, beautiful, and colorful. slap! Even though Pervin came outside of her, she slapped her own cheek which only made her burn even more. Today, I have to tour the territory early in the morning and meet the people of the territory. And Irwen also has a tea party with noble ladies this afternoon. Okay, let’s end this here. Wouldn’t it have been nice to have made Irwen cry like that last night, holding her in her arms? Pervin came back into the cabin. On the table he gently placed lilies of the valley. He hugged Irwen and tried to enter her mansion. He lay down on her bed and stroked Irwen’s hair.

 

“Irwen.”

 

Irwen had no answer. Okay, let’s just move her carefully. But his body seemed to betray his head. Before he knew it, her lips were heading toward Irwen’s face. She placed her lips only on the lovely, bulging forehead. Okay, let’s end it here. Pervin made a firm promise to himself. But soon his body betrayed his head again. Irwen’s lips were swollen from yesterday’s intense kiss, so he placed a kiss on her cheek instead of her lips.

 

“Umm…”

 

“Why are you so pretty, Irwen?”

 

As Irwen twisted her body as if struggling to sleep, he hugged her even tighter. The only thing between them was a thin blanket. Pervin’s strong body gently pressed Irwen. Eventually his lips touched her Irwen’s lips. He dug into her lips persistently, and she opened her lips slightly, as if she was asleep. No, you didn’t fall asleep? She could see her eyelids fluttering slightly. I don’t know when I woke up, but I definitely woke up. Are you so embarrassed that you can’t wake up? Pervin cast his languid gaze upon her, and patted her belly with her sinewy hand.

 

“Irwen, will you listen to me?”

 

Her eyes are tightly closed, but her eyelids are fluttering. Pervin smiled slightly and she touched her own lips softly to her eyelids. He traced Irwen’s body once with her graceful fingers. It was a touch full of affection.

 

“I want to do it one more time. I guess this is my greed, right?”

 

Flash. Irwen quickly opened her eyes. Pervin met her bright blue eyes and smiled languidly. She planted her kiss on the side of Irwen’s nose.

 

“Is this consent?”

 

“Are not you tired?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Irwen’s eyes were fixed on Pervin’s calm answer. Biting her lip, she blinked her eyes at him, feeling mortified.

 

“I’m so tired I’m dying.”

 

Pervin’s face turned pale when she said she was tired. Pervin hugged Irwen countless times last night. Of course, Irwen enjoyed it too, but he had underestimated his infinite stamina. From the night I arrived at the cabin last night until I fell asleep late at dawn. She was careful, again, lest her own excesses might injure her. Still, she said Irwen was tired now. Pervin quickly turned her head. It then dawned on her that she had been riding a horse instead of a carriage yesterday, and that she had spent the night in a cabin rather than a comfortable bed in a mansion. Pervin quickly changed her plan. And he suggested the best solution he could.

 

“I have rough hands, so hurry up and lie down. I will massage every inch of you to relieve your fatigue.”

 

When Pervin placed his hand on her waist, she quickly wrapped the blanket around her body.

 

“I refuse your touch.”

 

“Why not?”

 

“Every time I touch you, you cling to me…”

 

Irwen muttered beneath his ear. Actually last night, it was Pervin who rekindled the spark that was about to end every time. Once, he said he was massaging her back, twice he said it would relieve her tight muscles, and three times he covered her lips with his own because he said her lips looked dry. It was a night of endless love. Pervin received Irwen’s resentful gaze. Instead of being momentarily embarrassed, he approached her shamelessly. she asked lazily, wrapping her own body on his back.

 

“So, you didn’t like it?”

 

“…”

 

“I loved it so much. To be held by you and to receive your love.”

 

Pervin expressed his regret by nuzzling his face into Irwen’s shoulder. At that time, an unexpected sound was heard from outside the cabin.

 

“Master! Are you here, master?”

 

“Alfred has arrived. If there is no successor, it will most likely be that guy’s fault.”

 

Only then did Pervin groggily get up from her bed. He dressed quickly and covered Irwen with his red uniform. She looked as if Irwen was about to get up too. He said, kissing her Irwen’s lips.

 

“Lie here for a while.”

 

“Just bring me the clothes. Then I’ll get dressed and go.”

 

“My back hurts, so what should I do? I’ll call Mrs. Tilly, so rest here for now.”

 

Pervin’s finger stopped at Irwen’s lips. But when he heard Alfred’s loud noise outside, he reluctantly got up. It was very difficult to leave behind her lovely wife, and also her lover, with whom he had spent a passionate night yesterday. He saw Irwen avoiding his gaze and touched her cheek as if she was cute.

 

“See you in the evening, Irwen. Have a good time at the tea party with the ladies today.”

 

“Is it okay to do it in sponsorship?”

 

“Do whatever you want. Bring whatever you want to use at the duke’s residence.”

 

Pervin kissed Irwen on her lips and took something of her from within her arms. A lily of the valley he picked from the garden. It was an elegant flower that went well with Irwen. Raising her eyebrows as if wondering what she was, she momentarily focused her gaze on the flowers. The flower petals, moistened by the morning dew, were shining white, so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off them. Pervin’s awkward voice fell into her ear.

 

“I picked it up outside.”

 

“The flowers are too vivid and pretty to have been picked up.”

 

As if Irwen knew that he had plucked her flower, she smiled mischievously with her eyes. Pervin smiled awkwardly and placed a lily of the valley in Irwen’s ear. And he looked at her happily.

 

“As expected, it’s pretty.”

 

Irwen nodded her head enthusiastically and played with her petals. I felt like a faint scent was sweetly floating around, which made me feel good.

 

“There are many other flowers in the garden, but this is the first time I have seen such a pretty flower.”

 

“No, it’s not the pretty flowers, it’s you.”

 

Pervin grinned and kissed the back of her hand.

 

“The more I look at it, the prettier it is to death.”

 

Irwen’s face turned red. For Pervin, that was the best answer.
