It’s Not Night - Chapter 164.1

When she opened her eyes, Andra was in bed. Andra blinked at the small chandelier on the ceiling. Did she pass out? She remembered Dustin carrying her into the bathtub after he finished. So perhaps she had fainted during the wash. Regardless, it was over, and that was all that mattered to her now.

Andra sighed and propped herself up. Her body felt wrecked after hours in a confined space, accommodating the man’s massive frame. Her legs ached from being spread wide, her back and waist prickled. The n*pples throbbed from Dustin’s relentless biting and sucking. Red marks speckled all over her skin.

‘Did I do it with a man or a beast in disguise…?’

While lacking strength in her arms, Andra managed to push the blanket off and swing her legs out of bed. As she placed her feet on the floor, her legs gave out, and she crashed noisily to the ground.

Clattering sounds filled the room as she tried to grab anything for support, knocking items off the bedside table.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Dustin appeared. He rushed to Andra, who had fallen and was groaning on the floor. Andra! Dustin quickly scooped her up.

“Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?”

“It’s… not okay. It hurts…”

Her knee was swollen and red from sweeping across the floor, tears welling in her eyes. Her palms were also slightly scraped. Dustin wrapped Andra’s body in a blanket and placed her back on the bed. He gave her forehead a quick kiss before fetching a first aid kit.

“Let me see your knee. I’ll apply some ointment.”

“Ah….It feels bruised.”

Andra handed her leg over to Dustin and murmured softly. The impact with the floor had left her knee feeling numb. Dustin gently placed her legs over his thighs and began to apply ointment to the reddened wounds. Andra frowned occasionally but didn’t push Dustin’s hands away, allowing him to apply the medication.

“Give me your hand, too. I think your palm got scraped earlier.”

“My palm is fine.”

“Still, it’s better to apply some ointment than not.”

Dustin forcibly spread Andra’s hand, which she claimed was fine. It’s okay. As he applied ointment to her palm, similar to her knee, Andra grumbled

“It’s not just my palm, my whole body hurts. There’s not a spot that doesn’t hurt.”

“I’m sorry.”

Dustin immediately apologized, knowing what Andra meant. He acknowledged that he might have pushed her too hard in the bathroom, especially considering Andra was already exhausted from their previous affair. Andra narrowed her brows and said.

“It’s strange.”

“What is?”

“My body.”

Andra put down the blanket and showed him her arm. On the outside, it looked just as it always did. Dustin pulled the blanket over her again. He was concerned she might catch a cold. Despite knowing magic would prevent that.

“Is there something bothering you?”

“I don’t remember my body ever feeling this sore before. Aren’t you tired? After doing… that much, don’t you feel any discomfort?”

As Andra asked with a slightly flushed face, Dustin smiled faintly.

“How could I be tired when I’m with you?”

On the contrary, being with her excited him so much that his body felt hot and excited. Dustin pulled Andra closer, showering her cheek, shoulder, and neck with kisses.

Though Andra seemed slightly displeased, she didn’t push him away. She just sighed and let him be. However, she discreetly ignored his bulging lower body.

“Are you hungry? You haven’t had dinner.”

After massaging Andra’s body for a while, trying to loosen her aches, Dustin caressed her slim stomach. Now that she thought about it, they had skipped dinner to be together, Andra shook her head. She felt hungry the moment dinner was mentioned.

Dustin nodded, and after a few more strokes to her nape and chest, he headed out.

“Just wait a bit. I’ll get something ready.”

After Dustin left the room, Andra finally put down the blanket and searched for a robe near the bed. She winced as the fabric brushed against her still sore n*pples.

Something was off… She had rough s*x with Dustin before, but she had never felt this uncomfortable afterward. Magic usually erased any signs of their rough affair by the time she woke up, as if they never happened.

Andra placed her feet on the floor again. She felt steadier on her feet than when she first woke up, so Andra managed not to stumble as she stood. Although her legs still felt shaking and her back ached, the discomfort was bearable. Andra ventured outside the room.

There were sounds of Dustin preparing something from the kitchen connected to the living area. Andra looked for the books she had brought from the library, while Dustin prepared her meal.
