Chapter 461 A Rainy Nigh (2/2)
”Ha… Ha…” As their lips separated, Marlene felt her vision blur. Her fair, delicate cheeks were smeared in pinkish red while a seductive lust reflected off her beautiful eyes.
Rhode bent his head down to the young lady's neck and twitched his nose slightly. ”Hmm… You showered before coming over… Marlene, it seems like you have a habit of showering before reporting to your commanding officer?”
”No… This… I…” Marlene shook her head with all her might while shutting her eyes like an adorable little girl denying a crime that she had committed. Rhode let out a rare chuckle as he observed Marlene's actions.
”You're still not telling the truth? Why were you unhappy?”
”I… I…” Marlene hesitated but lowered her head in the end. ”I'm not unhappy… I was just… Rhode, you bought presents for Christie and Lize, but…”
”But you didn't get any, right?” Rhode continued Marlene's sentence.
”…” Marlene nodded silently. In the afternoon, Rhode gave Christie and Lize a beautiful crystal necklace and white-gold bracelet respectively in front of Marlene while she didn't receive any anything. Although they weren't expensive gifts Marlene couldn't afford, she felt unhappy that she was being left out.
This was unusual behavior for this young lady because, after all, Marlene had learned to be open-minded and wouldn't cause a ruckus for such a small matter as an heir of a huge noble family. Furthermore, her relationship with Rhode had exceeded the ordinary relationship and logically speaking, she shouldn't be angry over a small accessory. However, for unknown reasons, she felt miserable, especially after seeing Rhode's expressionless face as though he wasn't mindful of her feelings at all.
”What a silly girl. I didn't think that you would be angry over such a little thing.”
”… Hmph.” Marlene let out a groan since she had already spoken the truth and there were no reasons for her to deny now.
”But don't worry. I've prepared a gift for you too, okay? And it is something that you want the most.”
”Eh?” At this moment, Marlene's robe had been stripped entirely and it plopped to the ground. The chilly night breeze caressed her dewy skin intimately, to which the young lady shuddered. Then, before she realized it, a fiery presence stuck closely to her back.
”I'm sure this is the present that you wanted, Marlene?”
”… R-Rhode…”
”Say it. Yes or no? If no, then I might have mistaken.”
”N-No, no, no…” Marlene shook her head desperately but soon, she found out that something was amiss. ”No, yes, no… No, Yes…”
”Is it a yes or no?” Rhode's voice got softer and softer as his hands roamed around the young lady's body mischievously. Marlene felt her body getting warmer; at the same time, a strange desire began to burn within her body…
”… Yes…” Marlene lowered her head and answered softly.
”Good,” Rhode nodded in satisfaction and with a sly smile. Marlene felt her body lifted up in an instant and before she knew it, her back was against the soft, fluffy bed. She lifted her head frantically to see Rhode's face before hers. ”So then, let me give you your present, Marlene…”
Marlene shut her eyes, but she didn't receive the pounding that she expected. Instead, she widened her eyes in astonishment. She realized that her wrists had been bound by a rope securely. ”R-Rhode, this is…”
”This is the punishment for a disobedient child,” Rhode lectured with a smile while gazing at Marlene's bashful expression.
