I Lied to the Male Lead with My Pinky Finger on the Line

 

 

I opened my eyes wide and swallowed. I hurriedly tried to cover my bare chest, but was stopped by Clyde.

 

He grabbed both of my wrists in one hand and ripped the dress off again with the other. With a snap, the dress was finally ripped in half all the way to my ankles. The only thing left covering my body was my underwear.

 

“Cly….ughh…!”

 

Clyde devoured my lips violently. It was the most violent kiss I’d ever had. I could barely breathe as his tongue explored every inch of my mouth.

 

Soon, Clyde’s hands were clutching my breasts.

 

“Uhhhh…!”

 

My back arched at the tingling sensation I’d never felt in my life. Clyde persistently teased my most sensitive part with his fingertips.

 

“Ah, hugh! Ah…!”

 

A series of moans erupted from my finally-freed mouth. Clyde licked my auricle, nibbled on my earlobe, then moved down to my neck. The feel of something hot and slippery sliding across my thin flesh sent shivers down my spine.

 

Clyde’s knees gradually dug between my legs. I tried to gather my knees together, but Clyde grabbed me by the thigh with both hands and forced me to open my legs.

 

“Ugh, Clyde…!”

 

“Why?”

 

“What do you mean, why, ugh…!”

 

Clyde ran his tongue along my inner thigh. The unfamiliar sensation, both tickling and chilling, made me squirm and try to get away from him, but he held me so tightly that I couldn’t move.

 

“Yeah, keep trying to run away like that. See where I let you go,” Clyde whispered in a threatening, low voice, reaching for the only cloth left in my body.

 

“Oh, not there…. Ugh…!”

 

I bit my lip tightly. Clyde’s fingers dug in. It was a place that I had never touched in my life. His touch was rough, but strangely enough, it didn’t hurt at all. Rather, it was the opposite. I struggled with a dizzying and sweet sensation, as if my whole body were about to melt.

 

Clyde was staring into my face, his crimson eyes glowing, as if he wanted to catch every detail of my reaction.

 

“Do you hear that?”

 

For a moment, I was dazed, wondering what he was talking about, and then, a beat too late, I realized he was referring to the sound of water coming from below. For a moment, I felt my face turning red.

 

“Ahhhh, no…!”

 

“You’re lying again. Your body is so honest.”

 

“D-don’t say that…!”

 

I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously. No matter how hard I tried to endure it, I couldn’t withstand the stimulus given by Clyde. I sobbed, biting my lips, and finally turned my head and buried my face on the bed sheet.

 

“Look at me, Ruby.”

 

“…I don’t want to…”

 

“Don’t avoid me; show me how you feel.”

 

“Hmph…!”

 

Shaking his head, Clyde ordered in a low voice.

 

“Ruby. Open your eyes and look at me.”

 

The sound of his voice sent a shiver down my spine. I turned my head slowly and looked up at him with tears in my eyes.

 

Clyde’s eyes grew even more cloudy. He removed his hand from me and took off his clothes. The dim light revealed his upper body that was even more carnal and perfect than I had first imagined.

 

His broad chest and clearly defined abs rippled lazily with his breathing.

 

Without a thread of hesitation, Clyde approached, completely exposing his nakedness. I was just as naked as he was.

 

“…Clyde.”

 

At the sound of my trembling voice, Clyde’s eyes softened faintly, perhaps reading the fear embedded in my pupils.

 

“…I don’t care if you don’t love me; I’m going to have you, even if I have to force you.”

 

“…Clyde, I’m….”

 

“Don’t say anything. I don’t want to hear it.”

 

“It’s not like that, Clyde. I really don’t….”

 

“I told you to shut up!” Clyde shouted, and I winced. “…I’d rather you say nothing than lie.”

 

“Clyde.”

 

“Don’t do it, damn it…. Don’t….”

 

Clyde wrapped his hand around my forehead and bit his lip. He bit it so hard that a thin line of blood flowed down his chin.

 

“…….”

 

Tears filled my eyes in an instant. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have hesitated at the time because I felt guilty about my family. I should have told him that I wasn’t lying and that I really loved him.

 

But it was too late. Now, Clyde won’t believe me, no matter what I say. Especially saying I love him…

 

I squeezed my eyes shut and brushed away the tears. I shouldn’t cry. I had no right to cry in front of Clyde, much less for his sake.

 

“…All right, Clyde. I won’t speak. But just let me tell you one thing.”

 

“…….”

 

“You’re not forcing me. You’re not forcing me to do it even though I don’t like it.”

 

At my words, Clyde pulled his hand off his forehead and looked down at me with hazy eyes.

 

“You’re lying.”

 

“I’m not lying. You just…checked…you said…you said my body was…honest.”

 

I blurted out, holding back the shame as best I could.

 

“…….”

 

“It… felt… good; it always has. Actually, it’s always been like that even before. I feel good every time you touch me… I wanted you to do more. It’s the same now. So, Clyde….”

 

“Stop it.”

 

Clyde said out loud.

 

“…Clyde.”

 

I was choked with grief. Tears welled up again, and Clyde bent down and put his forehead together.

 

“Stop encouraging me. I can’t stand it because I want to devour you right now….”

 

“Uh… What?”

 

Clyde kissed me. Unlike before, it was a friendly but deep, deep kiss.

 

Our noses brushed against each other, and amid the mix of hot breath and saliva, our bodies warmed up again.

 

Clyde stroked my head once and looked at me with fond, hot eyes.

 

“This might hurt. No, it’s going to hurt.”

 

“It’s okay.”

 

“It’s not okay. I don’t want to hurt you.”

 

“Then you’re not going to do it?”

 

“…….”

 

Clyde, shut up. I smirked.

 

“Look. It’s not like you won’t.”

 

“…But.”

 

“Don’t hurt me. You can do that.” I threw my arms around Clyde’s neck.

 

“Do whatever you want. I’m okay.”

 

As I whispered that, Clyde groaned.

 

While making love, he called my name many times. Ruby. Ruby. Ruby…. I echoed him, calling him over and over again.

 

We lay on top of each other all night and climaxed together several times.

 

Each time, I had to fight hard to keep the words I love you from escaping my lips.

 

It was many times more painful than the pain of the first experience.

There appeared to be a significant disturbance in the capital, as anticipated, due to the disappearance of Raphir and the men of the Rojasis family.

 

Raphir strongly insisted that it was his own decision to follow Julion and his sons, so they should not be punished. The emperor agreed and decided to let it go.

 

The demon army returned to the Demon Realm through the Western Gate.

 

They released all the soldiers who had been detained.

 

Surprisingly, the invasion suffered few casualties. The soldiers, who they thought had been killed by the demon attack, had only been knocked unconscious.

 

The story was so unbelievable that even the emperor repeatedly asked if it was true.

 

Soon, rumors began to spread that the reason why the demon king started the war was because of Eila, the youngest daughter of the Rojasis family.

 

It was said that when the Demon was still a young boy, Julion Rojasis captured him and used him as a test subject, and that is when he became acquainted with Eila.

 

When an investigation team of the Imperial Palace’s department of magic was dispatched to the ancient ruins in Andela two years ago, several people witnessed the demon king and Eila together.

 

Eila had even defended him against her own father, Julion.

 

There were many voices calling for the condemnation of Eila Rojasis for becoming the Demon’s woman and for the Rojasis’ to be held responsible for this war.

 

It was none other than Crown Prince Raphir who dismissed the voice.

 

「Eila did not sympathize with the demon king. It’s the opposite. She sacrificed herself to stop this war. The reason why the demon didn’t kill the imperial soldiers and only neutralized them was because of Eila’s request. She pleaded with the Demon King, who was fixated on her, to stop the invasion. She not only saved people but also saved me and Rojasis from being captured when we went to rescue her.  She’s not guilty of anything. It’s rather the opposite. The Palma Empire owes an immense debt to Eila and the Rojasis Ducal family.」

 

Of course, not everyone was convinced by his words. However, the emperor supported his son’s words and declared that he would not hold the Duchy of Rojasis responsible for anything.

 

However, regardless of that decision, Duke Julion Rojasis decided to resign as the head of the department of magic to take responsibility for the situation.
