The Queen Who Deserves To Be Tainted - Chapter 39.2

Her ankle was briefly revealed, and Ejnar felt a sudden tightness in his lower body. Yet, even in this moment, her excessive sweetness only raised his suspicion.

She wasn’t the type to show such boldness in public unless it was in the privacy of the bedroom. She had been like that in the audience chamber, and even in the office, she seemed worried about what might happen.

But here, in the banquet hall, she displayed such boldness?

Of course, it could have been part of some intricate game, but to openly change her approach like this…

‘This is strange.’

He watched her intently, and she met his gaze with a slightly flushed face.

‘What is it? Why is my queen suddenly acting so strange?’

Slowly, Ejnar reached out and gently traced his hand down the side of her face, his fingers brushing lightly where her dress had gathered. The moment his hand touched her, Elfreda’s body stiffened in tension, as if her whole body were tightening.

He whispered in a low voice.

“I didn’t know you would like the table.”

“….”

The red-faced Elfreda now quickly averted her gaze.

Ejnar let out a soft chuckle, then moved behind her. When she turned around, confused, his hand wrapped gently around her waist.

Ah.

She flinched in surprise and met his gaze.

Thinking about whether those innocent eyes were part of some calculated move made him feel bitter, but… well, it didn’t really matter in this relationship. Yet in that moment, he wasn’t sure why he, too, felt compelled to act gently toward her.

With a deliberately soft voice, Ejnar instructed Elfreda.

“Get down.”

At his quiet command, she instinctively rested against the table. She was uncertain as it was the first time, but she was quick to comply. Moments later, the sound of a belt unbuckling followed, and a sudden chill brushed over her skin.

“Ah…”

She tensed briefly, startled by the contrast in temperature, but soon, she felt his strong hand cover the exposed area.

Elfreda flushed and bit her lip to suppress any sounds that might escape. As she shrank in the air, a soft groan came from behind her. It was embarrassing but at the same time, a good thing. With this position, she could hide what she didn’t want to reveal.

She felt a wave of relief that allowed her to release her tension. Her body relaxed, and Ejnar entered quickly.

Though the act was familiar, this time, it seemed more intense.

Elfreda’s breath hitched, and she clutched the table like someone who was being dragged. Her gloved hands were slipping. The pressure of her chest against the table brought an unexpected pleasure.

“Ung, huht, haa…”

Although she tried to lower her head to stifle her sounds, Ejnar gently lifted her chin, his hand grazing her neck, forcing her to look up. Tears gathered in her eyes as she met his gaze, and something wild flashed across his face.

A small curse slipped from his lips as he increased his intensity.

The sight of her large, glassy eyes, brimming with pleasure, seemed to ignite something in him. Her voice grew louder, and as she lost control of the sounds escaping her, she panicked. Sensing it, too, Ejnar reached to remove her glove, moving it to her lips to help muffle her cries.

“Ha-hng!“

A louder sound escaped her mouth, catching him off guard as he didn’t expect her to do that. She managed a few breathless words with hazy eyes.

“You, hu, you told me not to hold back…”

Ejnar couldn’t hide the faint admiration in his expression before a gentle smile tugged at his lips as he murmured.

“I did.”

However, there was nothing gentle about what followed. The royal couple’s ‘dessert time’ went on far longer than expected.
