Beast in the Woods, Deep in the Night - Chapter 5.1
Chapter 5.1
“…!”
Christine covered her eyes with both hands, bewildered by the naked male body that appeared out of nowhere. It was a habit of hers to pretend to be a fragile young lady who didn’t know about unsightly things when trying to extract information from a man or woman.
After a while, she realized that there was no one else around to be wary of. Her fingers, which had been covering her eyes, spread wide.
The man’s completely naked upper body, seen through the gaps between her fingers, was sturdy as if it had been carved from a huge rock. His lower body was similarly woven with muscles, but the heat that surged from looking at it was incomparable to the upper body.
Seeing that his body was radiantly illuminated under the moonlight, the man seemed to be taking a bath in the valley. No, he wasn’t taking a bath… He was wearing clothes on his lower body.
What the hell was he doing in a place like this?
People were reluctant to access the Black Forest because it was filled with poison.
Christine, who inherited the blood of a mage, was unaffected because the mana in her body cleansed the poison, but it was normal for untrained people to struggle just by breathing the air here.
Christine absentmindedly glanced at his lower body out of curiosity, and held her breath when she saw the outline of something thick and ferocious.
‘Is he… excited right now?’
His member was standing up straight. Thinking about it, the reason his body glowed under the moonlight seemed to be because he was sweating.
Christine hid and watched the man like she was possessed by something. Every time the man gasped for breath, his broad shoulders would rise and fall, and his member, which stood so tightly that it touched his abs, would twitch.
Every time he let out a sigh mixed with irritation as if he was suppressing something that was about to burst, an unknown heat rose in Christine’s stomach.
The senses she had forgotten while focusing only on carrying out the guild’s requests and taking care of her mother woke up again just by looking at his body.
‘He looks good, but… why on earth is he like that here?’
Christine looked around. All she saw were lush trees and plants. Did that man have a strange sexual preference where he got excited when he saw branches or grass roots?
Thinking she shouldn’t get involved with such a strange guy even if it was to infiltrate the Black Fang Guild, she became speechless when the clouds cleared up after a while and she saw the man’s face.
It was that man.
The man who had greatly alleviated the pain caused by her curse by just touching her at the end of her previous life.
It was the man who stopped the guild members who had followed him with one glance, seeming to have a pretty high status in the guild, and approached her.
Black hair, a forehead that seemed to have been carefully sculpted by someone, and the nose bridge that rose smoothly in the middle were so unusual that she could tell at once that it was him. The green eyes that shone attractively even in the darkness were the ones she had faced at her last moment.
Christine’s head turned around swiftly at the unexpected reunion. Suddenly, she thought of one possibility.
‘Is this a chimera in heat?’
The fact that the members of Grand Duke Richard’s family inherited the traits of a wolf along with his abilities was quite a famous story. And the man in front of her was a chimera with such enormous ability that he could calm her rampaging mana just by touching her.
So, considering that he had inherited the traits of a wolf along with his abilities, it wasn’t unreasonable to assume he was going through heat, which only the direct lineage of the grand duke experienced.
If he had stopped by the valley to cool off his hot body in the still chilly weather, that would explain his heavy breathing and his upright member.
‘That means…’
Christine modified her plan to connect with anyone in the Black Fang Guild.
If the man in front of her had become a beast during his heat, it meant that he was fundamentally no different from those who had fallen for her seduction and gave out information the guild needed.
Did Christine Baines ever fail to seduce anyone?
There were countless times when she was troubled because she had to get entangled with unwanted bastards, but there was never a time when her beauty didn’t work. Whether it was a man or a woman, a child or an old person, they could be seduced in ten minutes.
“…”
She was fascinated when a man’s muscular body appeared in front of her, and felt like she could do more. Christine gulped at that thought.
At that moment, a bird sitting in a tree near her flew towards the night sky.
The man turned his head like a beast with highly developed senses. Christine curled up right away, but she couldn’t stop the ferocious voice that followed.
“Is there a bastard whose hobby is to hide and watch something like this?”
“…”
When Christine didn’t answer, the man strode over. Since she belonged to a guild, she also understood why he was reacting sensitively to the thought that someone was watching him.
In a split second, she made up her mind.
Wasn’t her virginity something Duff would threaten her with?
“Christine, many guys are willing to give you easy money. How many days will you take off because you got injured? What about the money?”
