“Actually, I am the owner of Hwaonru.”
“...So?”
Gio tilted his head and captured Susu's lips again, kissing her even more deeply than before. Her mouth was sweet and soft, but the pleasure of entwining his tongue with hers as she tried to evade him was incomparable. The sound of their lips smacking together grew louder, and with it, his long-suppressed desire surged
And... Susu didn't push him away. That fact increasingly chipped away at Gio's patience. Holding the back of her small head firmly, he pressed her down until her body gradually gave way. Finally, as her back touched the bedding, Susu slowly opened her eyes.
“Haaa... Gio oraboni...?”
“I was the one who taught you how to read and write when you were young.”
He also taught her how to climb a tall tree without getting hurt, how to brew tea, how to play the geomungo, [1] how to read the stars — everything.
"So, if you truly wish to learn, I will teach you."
Just once. For the last time, he would indulge his desire. As Gio gently licked the saliva dripping from the corner of Susu's lips, he didn't even notice the sparkle in her eyes, having heard what she wanted.
Susu closed her eyes tightly. She didn't want this cautious oraboni to notice the look in her eyes and push her away again. Her breathing, unsettled by the long kiss, caused her chest to heave and press against his with each breath. Every time this happened, Susu's shoulders trembled from the sensation, but Gio seemed not to notice, pressing his lips to various places. His lips traced the curve of her jaw, the soft hollow beneath her ear, down her neck, and finally reached the delicate clavicle, where he exhaled a hot breath against her skin.
“Ngh...”
A strange sound almost escaped her, so Susu covered her mouth. But her hand was immediately removed and pinned above her head. At that moment, the jade bracelet he had given her as a gift was revealed with a clinking sound, and the emotion in Gio's eyes deepened.
“...Don’t stop me.”
It was a mistake to think that Gio didn't care about her reaction. Even though they were both dressed in layers of clothing, the soft touch of Susu's breasts pressing against him felt so sensitive. Each time it pressed against him, he felt an urge to tear off the constricting silk clothes. Yet, at the same time, he feared that if he were too rough, this rabbit-like girl would run away.
"But I can't help but make a sound."
"Are you embarrassed? For a man, there is no greater reward."
Gio smiled languidly as he used his teeth to loosen the ties on Susu's clothes. When his deeply creased eyes met hers, her face flushed a bright red. Seeing her like that, a feeling of tenderness welled up from deep within his heart.
He thought, 'I don’t need to suppress this emotion, not right now.'
As he raised his body to capture her lips once more, his hand, which had been caressing the red flush spreading down to her breasts, pressed against the waistband of her skirt, rubbing over the soft, rounded flesh beneath.
“Hnnng!”
The sound that escaped reflexively was swallowed whole by Gio's mouth. Before she knew it, her skirt [2] strings were loosened, and through the gap, her delicate breasts were exposed. In the night air, goosebumps rose, but his warm hand greedily grasped the soft flesh as if melting into it. This was the first time Susu had been touched so directly on her bare skin, and despite her resolve, she couldn't help but shrink back.
But as her cherry-like nipple was rubbed between his thick fingers, the momentary discomfort vanished in an instant. His hand was undoubtedly hot, yet a shiver ran down her spine to the tips of her toes. Strangely, her belly tingled, and while this feeling wasn't unpleasant, it was so unfamiliar that Susu couldn't help but whimper.
"Haah, Gio oraboni... my hands..."
"Why? Do you want to stop now?"
Gio teasingly asked in a dry voice and then firmly grasped her tender breasts.
“Aaah,” Susu's red lips parted, and a moan escaped.
Something moist seemed to seep out from between her legs. Fearing she might have wet herself, Susu quickly tensed her lower muscles and shook her head.
“No. Gio oraboni, I want you to hold me. I feel strange... Please hold me, okay?'
“...”
His gaze darkened intensely as he looked down at her. Gio's jawline became noticeably pronounced. However, that was all; he did not refuse and released Susu's wrists.
Susu immediately wrapped her arms around Gio's neck and clung to him. Gio also embraced her. He slowly pressed his lips against her exposed shoulder, sucking and caressing her delicate spine and shoulder blades, making Susu's body tremble slightly.
"Hnnh..."
As he suppressed his true nature and caressed her with deliberate gentleness, Susu’s senses sharpened, growing unbearably sensitive. Each time his hot tongue grazed the nape of her neck, her toes curled involuntarily. Even the thin silk robe felt oppressively stiff against her hardened peaks, amplifying her discomfort. With trembling hands, Susu tried to untie the sash of her robe, but just as she fumbled with it, Gio's tongue trailed up the line of her throat, and the sash slipped uselessly to the floor.
"Do you like it soft?"
Gio whispered, nibbling on Susu's earlobe. His moist, hot breath tickled her ear, making her feel even stranger. Susu blinked rapidly, trying to focus her blurring vision, and quickly nodded. The air in the room felt even more sultry than when the heat was applied. She never imagined that intimacy could be such a deep and intense act.
But this was just the beginning. After confirming her answer, Gio suddenly bit down on her sensitive, taut breast.
"Ah...!"
Reflexively, she widened her eyes and tried to push him away, but as he strongly sucked and nibbled on the flesh in his mouth, her sensitive nerves felt like they were bursting. As the tip of his tongue circled the tip and licked, every probing touch made her stomach tingle even more.
There was no way Gio could have missed her pressing her legs together and squirming. He quickly removed her half-undone skirt and undergarments, then firmly pressed his palm against her plump mound. Slowly, he parted her tightly closed lower lips. Since her lower region was already wet, Gio's fingers moved smoothly.
"Oh, Gio, ha-eugh!"
That sensation was vividly conveyed to Susu as well. Fearing she might have wet herself, she trembled and tried to push him away. However, as if he had been waiting, he simultaneously kneaded and sucked both of her breasts, causing her to clutch his shoulders rather than push him away. Her lower body, honest in its response to the similar yet different stimulation, once again throbbed and released an unknown fluid.
"Angh, no, not this, eung! I don't like it."
Her body kept feeling stranger, and it scared her. Susu shook her head, her sweaty forehead plastered with loose strands of hair. Even as she struggled, she couldn't dislodge what was already inside her. Contrary to her intentions, her body tempted Gio, and his finger was suddenly sucked into her quivering entrance.
"Heuug...!"
Susu threw her head back at the sensation of fullness that filled the narrow passage. The feeling of being tightly clenched, as if chewing on his fingers, made Gio's breath naturally grow ragged. Blood rushed to his lower body to such a degree that he feared it might become visible through the multiple layers of clothing he wore, but he deliberately ignored it and moved his wrist. The stimulation of his curved fingers scooping out the inner liquid made her gush once again with thick fluid.
Squelch, squelch.
The lewd sound emanating from her made tears well up in Susu's eyes once more.
"Ah, it's making those dirty sounds again...! That's enough. Oraboni, haangh, my body feels strange!"
Tears slid down her flushed cheeks. But unlike before, Gio did not embrace her gently; instead, he pushed his finger deeper, widening her from within.
"Your body feels strange? That can't be."
A dark gleam flickered in Gio's eyes. Her love juices glistened, splashing down to her plump buttocks. As he thrust his finger deeply, the sound of wet flesh slapping against each other echoed.
"Haangh, but, oh, aah! It keeps...!"
"It keeps?"
Although it didn't seem like incontinence, Susu couldn’t bring herself to say that something was coming out from below, so she bit her lip. However, her heated opening twitched in response, releasing another gush of clear fluid.
She was innocent yet sensitive, with a body that exuded lewdness. Gio smirked, lifting one corner of his mouth. The moonlight bathed only the left side of his face, casting a captivating shadow. Despite her overwhelming embarrassment, Susu couldn’t tear her eyes away from his face.
"Your body isn't strange. In moments like this, you’re supposed to say it feels good, Susu."
The fingers that had been rubbing and probing her inner walls finally withdrew. Susu felt a sudden emptiness, only to be startled when Gio held up his wet fingers in the moonlight.
"Do you see it?"
The thick love juices dripped down his fingers, reaching his palm. Seeing him lick it as if to show off, Susu gasped in shock.
"Wh-why are you doing that? It's so dirty!"
"It's not dirty. It's a sign that your body is opening up, so how could it be dirty?"
The tip of his red tongue moved sensually. Susu forgot all about stopping him and just stared blankly at him. Below, her body stirred, yearning for something, though she didn't know what.
Gio was the one who knew. And he was the kind of person who would give her whatever she desired.
Bending down, he buried his face in her slick, wet pussy. He lightly sucked with his lips as if touching small wings and tenderly licked the narrow entrance.
What was happening? Susu was momentarily stunned by an act more unbelievable than licking the fluids from her own body. Before she could fully regain her senses, pleasure violently overwhelmed her. His soft lips pressed tightly against her pussy, sucking forcefully, and the tickling sensation made her hips tremble.
"Haa, annng...!"
As the quivering hole began to open, his thick tongue aimed for the moment, forcefully spreading the gap and slithering in like a snake. Perhaps it was the feeling of her intimate insides being sucked, licked, and devoured. Her toes twitched and curled, and high-pitched moans kept escaping her mouth.
Lost in sensation and not knowing where she was looking, Susu suddenly glanced down. Gio oraboni, with the same intense focus he had when reading his favourite book, was sucking below. Unlike her, who was barely clothed, he was fully dressed, his body lowered, still wearing his coat. Seeing him like this, it felt as though she had conquered him.
That thought made her lower body tighten reflexively. Through the connected membranes, Gio also felt her and gripped her buttocks tightly. His gaze, looking up at her, was intense, almost as if he were glaring. But Susu knew. He wasn't angry; he was desperately yearning for something.
Susu opened her mouth without thinking.
"It feels good..."
Just as Gio had taught her.
“...”
“More, haagh, please do more...”
As Gio thrust his tongue deep inside, his grip tightened. His fingers dug into her pale, firm buttocks so hard that the flesh bulged between his knuckles. It would surely leave red marks, but at that moment, even that felt like a pleasure to Susu.
However, shortly after, he pulled his mouth away from her pussy that seemed to tightly cling to him. Just as Susu sighed of reluctant relief, at that very moment, his finger thrust deeply into her still slightly parted entrance.
One, two, three... the number of fingers quickly increased, and her lips, excited like aroused nipples, stood upright and sucked in the clitoris, which was halfway exposed from its hood. At that moment, an unprecedented pleasure surged down her spine, and Susu's vision flashed as if struck by lightning.
“Hic!”
Gio focused intently, taking in every detail as he grabbed the hem of her skirt, carelessly spread beneath her while sucking on her hidden pearl. The more the hood was peeled back, the louder her moans became.
"A-ah! Aaagh! Haaagh!"
The thrusting in and out of her pussy became faster and more intense like a man thrusting his member during intercourse. Susu, too, felt as though she was deeply accepting him, her hips rising higher and her thighs trembling. The pleasure grew so overwhelming that she felt as though she might fall from a great height at any moment.
“Haang, Gio oraboni...!”
Susu reached out, tears in her eyes. Gio scooped her up with one arm and kissed her. His tongue and fingers simultaneously worked above and below, the wet, squelching sounds vibrating through her body. His thrusting fingers kept hitting a certain spot, making her body tighten each time. She both wanted him to keep touching that spot and at the same time, wished he wouldn’t.
At that moment, Gio thrust in, strongly hitting that pleasure point. The sound of his palm slapping against her clitoris was so loud it echoed.
“...!”
Susu stiffened, unable to even moan. The pleasure that had been tickling her spine suddenly felt like a burning fire spreading through her nerves. Her vision suddenly went black, and then her head throbbed sharply, turning white repeatedly. At the same time, the inside of Gio's pants grew heavy with moisture.
“Haa, haa.”
Hot breaths poured into each other’s lips. The lower part of Susu's body, which had been tightly gripping Gio's hand, trembled spasmodically and gradually relaxed.
Susu’s eyes, unfocused and dazed, were moist with tears. Her cheeks turned as red as an apple, and even though the rouge [3] that Dalrae had applied was all wiped off, her lips were still more swollen and redder than before.
Despite being bitten and sucked multiple times, her half-open lips remained enticing. Seeing her like this, heat rushed to his lower body, where he had just ejaculated, making it almost painful. However, Gio forced himself to ignore it and quietly kissed her forehead, where her black hair clung to her skin.
Even the slow withdrawal of his fingers was stimulating her hypersensitive body right after her orgasm. Susu, who had been shivering reflexively, frowned as Gio clumsily dressed her.
‘This oraboni is really...’
He was clearly intending to end everything like this, as if it were nothing more than a fleeting dream.
She couldn’t let that happen. She couldn’t let him slip away like that! The moment he lifted his foot to put on her beoseon, [4] Susu wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer.
“...Susu.”
"You’re trying to end it, aren’t you? This isn’t everything.
"No. The fun ends here."
“You promised to teach me everything. How can this be it? I don't want to stop. Let's continue. Okay?”
“...”
Gio gritted his teeth. The best he could do was to feign calm, keeping his lower body, which was perfectly aligned with hers, from moving. If he didn’t, the delicate undergarment he had barely managed to place on her would tear, and he would be unable to suppress the overwhelming urge to take her right then and there.
But Susu, unaware of his feelings, felt nothing but frustration.
"It's fine to touch and explore, but the next step is not allowed. Why?"
As she pressed him, it suddenly occurred to her he might be a courtesan.
"...Am I just a customer to you, Gio oraboni?"
“What do you mean?!”
Gio raised his voice sharply. However, Susu, unfazed, gazed at him steadily without a hint of surprise. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke again, her tone as natural as if she were no longer the curious person who had first stepped into Hwaonru, marvelling at everything, but someone entirely different, speaking with ease.
“Never mind. Call someone else. I will learn everything about the art of consummation from beginning to end today.”
"Are you serious? You don’t care who it is with?”
Gio's face grew as cold as a blade. It was blatantly clear that he was genuinely angry, but Susu instead smiled faintly.
“You don’t like it when another man touches me, right?”
Her boldness in hitting the nail on the head left Gio speechless. She always managed to break through his barriers and reach deep into his heart.
Susu continued, not bothered by his lack of response.
"Wouldn't I feel the same way? Just thinking that my dear oraboni, who only had eyes for me during the day, was pleasing other women at night fills me with such jealousy..."
“...It was my first time.”
“What?”
"I do not entertain the customers. My job is to run the courtesan house and manage the people."
“...”
“...”
A suffocating silence filled the air. In embarrassment, Susu’s face turned from red to a shade that resembled grapes. She had tried to get Gio to confess his feelings, but instead, her own jealousy was revealed first. All she wanted was to run back to her room at home and kick the blanket in frustration.
At that sight, Gio couldn't help but laugh, making a sound like air escaping. He embraced her, who was as unpredictable as a rabbit that might jump in any direction, and gently rested his chin on her small head.
"Thank you for being jealous.”
“...I... I like you, Gio oraboni."
Susu, who had been mumbling, finally decided to stop holding back and opened up her heart completely.
"The only person I want to marry is you, oraboni ."
“...”
"I don't want to do this with anyone but Gio oraboni. It would be horrible."
Embarrassed and blushing, with tears in her eyes, she looked up at him. Gio finally realised that the reason he had been able to pretend to refuse the marriage proposal was because it had come from Susu's parents. If Susu herself had been there... he wouldn't have even made it that far.
After all, Susu was the girl who never took off the bracelet he gave her, even in a place like this, and Gio was the man who rushed over without a second thought when he heard she had gone to the courtesan house. Despite their deep connection, how foolish he was to think they could drift apart. Was there ever a more foolish moment in his life?
To the severely stiffened Gio, Susu gave him a quick peck on the lips.
“If you refuse again, I'll shave my head and devote myself to Buddha.”
Susu's head was perfectly round with no sharp edges, so she would probably still look beautiful even without hair. Gio, who reflexively thought this, suppressed another laugh that threatened to escape.
But he couldn't avoid Susu's gaze. Keenly perceiving his expression, she puffed out her cheeks and pouted her lips.
“What? Are you saying I should go to the temple right now since you won't stop me?”
"Ha ha.”
Gio finally burst out laughing. When he was younger, he had resented being at Susu's beck and call, thinking she was only cute because she was small and that it wouldn't last as she grew up. But Susu was as cute as a rabbit, both then and now — so much so that he didn't want others to see her like this. Thinking this, he lightly kissed her pouty lips.
Surprised by the unexpected action, Susu quickly realised that he had completely given in. She smiled happily, her eyes crinkling with joy. Gio humbly admitted that he had been wrong to think he could ever forget those sparkling eyes that held only him.
“I have to visit the adults again soon. Let's talk about it then.”
At his complete surrender, Susu joyfully buried her face in his chest. Holding her small body tightly, a strong determination settled on Gio's face.
