Side Story Chapter 48: Nectar (4)
"I… beg your pardon?"
Silence fell as if time had stopped. Oh Kang-Woo looked up at Lilith, dumbfounded.
"L-Lilith?" he called as he forced himself to smile, forcibly suppressing the ominous feeling.
Lilith frowned. "Are you deaf, my servant? Did I not tell you that I am your queen?"
She pinched Kang-Woo’s cheek with her toes and looked down at him in slight anger.
"Uhh… mm."
Kang-Woo’s eyes shook.
’What the fuck is going on? Is this how she gets when she’s drunk?’
Lilith’s behavior couldn’t be anything but a drunken frenzy.
"Lilith, I think you’re a bit dru—""Shush. How many times must I say it for you to understand?"
Lilith narrowed her eyes and poked Kang-Woo’s cheek with her toes.
"..." Kang-Woo remained silent, his eyes darting and his expression filled with hesitation.
’What the hell do I do?’
He had a feeling it wouldn’t end well if he were to just ignore her and leave. For example, she might let go of whatever hold she had left of her reason and return to her true form.
’Motherfucker!’
That was the last thing he could allow to happen. His psychological state was already at its limit from witnessing Yurie and Lilith’s double tentacles. Moreover, Lilith was drunk at the moment; there was no telling what she would do with her tentacles when her limiter was broken.
’I have to stop her.’
Kang-Woo’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He needed to stop the horrifying and wretched end of humanity at all costs.
’I have no choice… but to play along with her drunken frenzy.’
"Apologies, my queen. I forgot my place as your retainer and dared to speak your name."
Kang-Woo kneeled without hesitation and bowed in front of her feet. He was not above getting down on all fours as an apology; he was a professional ass-sucker who managed to satisfy even Bael. Playing along with a woman’s drunken frenzy was a piece of cake.
"Hohoho. It seems you’ve finally cleaned your ears." Lilith smiled seductively and caressed Kang-Woo’s head with her foot. "Now, I want to hear you say it again. Who am I?"
"You are Queen Lilith."
"My, good boy." Lilith clapped her hands together as if she were proud of him. "Right, then. It is time for you to serve your queen." She extended her leg toward Kang-Woo and said, "Hmm~ A massage, was it? Do that for me."
"Yes, my queen."
Kang-Woo nodded and began to massage her foot covered in black tights.
"Haang!" Lilith moaned, flinching each time Kang-Woo rubbed her feet. "Haaa, haaa. Very good."
"Your happiness is my happiness, my queen."
Kang-Woo smiled as he threw his pride into the gutter and continued the massage.
"My, what a commendable mindset." Lilith leaned toward Kang-Woo and patted his head. "Fufu. Why don’t I reward you?"
Her black hair stretched toward the door and opened it. It then reached outside the room and came back with a cup of purple liquid giving off a sweet scent; it was what was remaining of the nectar.
"Now, drink as much as you want," said Lilith as she poured the cup of nectar on her leg.
The alcohol trickled down her flawless leg and gathered at the ends of her toes into a drop. She slowly raised her foot and brought it toward Kang-Woo’s mouth.
"Pardon…?"
’You want me to drink? Like this?’
"What are you waiting for?" asked Lilith as she wagged her feet. She whispered seductively, "Drink up ♥"
Lilith’s charms were powerful enough to melt the soul; the mind-melting order of the Succubus Queen entered Kang-Woo’s ears.
"J…"
’Jesus fuck!! This is a bit too high of a hurdle.’
Kang-Woo was fine with playing along with Lilith’s queen roleplay but did not ever imagine she would pour alcohol on her leg and order him to drink it. His eyes shook as he stared at the nectar dripping from the ends of Lilith’s black tights.
’Wait… what the hell?’
Kang-Woo’s heart beat faster. He swallowed his saliva as his throat got as dry as a desert.
"Oh fuck… right."
He was dizzy and his vision was blurry. He realized he was not in the right state of mind either. He was not drunk out of his mind like Lilith but he was still fairly drunk.
"Hmm. My reward for you is all gonna drip on the floor at this rate." Lilith looked down at the hesitating Kang-Woo and brought her toes even closer to his mouth. She whispered, "Go on. Move that unsightly tongue of yours… and lick as much as you like ♥"
"WHOOOOOOAAAAAA!!"
Kang-Woo’s desire surged. He grabbed Lilith’s foot with both hands, his mind all fuzzy.
’Yeah! This fucking shit is no big deal!!’
He had already thrown out his pride. Besides, he and Lilith had already pledged their love for each other; he was more than willing to play along with the cute whims of his lover.
’The queen’s orders are absolute! I have no choice but to comply…!’
"As you command, my queen."
"Fufu. Good boy."
Lilith smiled widely. Kang-Woo gulped and slowly extended his tongue toward the drop of nectar on Lilith’s black tights.
’Today, I reject my humanity.’
"Rero."
"Haaang!"
Kang-Woo could feel the coarse tights on his tongue. Just a single drop of the nectar rushed him with its overpowering scent; it felt as if someone sprayed an entire bottle of Febreze in his mouth. He devoted licked Lilith’s toes as if he were revering her feet.
’Since I’ve decided to do it, I’ll go all the way!’
"Rero rero rero rero."
"Hngh! W-Wait! Lick slower!"
Lilith writhed as her face reddened. Kang-Woo ignored her order and added more strength to his licking.
"RERO RERO RERO RERO RERO RERO!!!"
"Y-You rascal"
Lilith hit Kang-Woo’s head with her palm. She sounded as if she were scolding him but the strength of her strikes was more like pats.
"Fuuu," Kang-Woo exhaled.
He wiped the remains of the nectar on his mouth in satisfaction after drinking his queen’s reward without leaving a drop.
"Haaa, haaa, haaa," Lilith flopped on the bed as she panted heavily. "What… an insolent retainer you are."
"I simply did as you commanded, my queen."
"Hmph, you sure can talk." Lilith perched back on the bed after recovering her composure somewhat. She smiled widely and tapped the area of the bed next to her. "Sit up here."
"Yes, my queen!"
Kang-Woo raced to the bed and sat down.
"Stay still." Lilith softly placed her head on Kang-Woo’s lap. "Fufu. This feels nice."
Lilith slowly closed her eyes, still smiling widely. Kang-Woo gently patted Lilith’s head and smiled faintly.
’This is new.’
It was fascinating to see such a side of Lilith, who was always loyal to him and offered him her unconditional love.
’Actually, I guess that’s not the case lately.’
After they officially became lovers, Lilith had become more like a sexy noona than his loyal subordinate. Whichever the case, this was his first time seeing Lilith acting like an oppressive queen.
"Why are you smiling?" Lilith asked.
"I was just thinking how lovely you are."
"Ngh…!" Lilith flinched. She turned away to hide her reddened face and mumbled, "D-Don’t… say something like that so nonchalantly."
"Pfft!" Kang-Woo couldn’t help but laugh at her embarrassment.
"..." Lilith glared at Kang-Woo. "It seems an insolent retainer needs to be punished."
She instantly got up and pushed Kang-Woo down. She got on top of him and smiled sexily as she panted heatedly.
"Hmm. It’s a bit hot in here," she remarked.
"Pardon? The air conditioner is blasting…"
"It’s hot. Don’t you agree?"
"It’s sweltering hot in here, my queen. Would you like me to get you some ice water?"
"No. Lay still, just like that." Lilith pushed Kang-Woo back down as he was about to get up and licked her lips like a predator aiming for its prey. "Times like this call for some vigorous exercise, don’t you think?"
Lilith caressed Kang-Woo’s cheek as she looked at him lustfully.
"Well, we should take the others to their rooms first—"
"Hmph. Who said you could talk back to me?" Lilith went back to her queen mode and shushed Kang-Woo by placing her index finger on his lips. "Fufu. Stay still until the punishment is over."
Gulp.
She panted heavily as she took off her disheveled clothes and threw them aside.
"I’ll make love to you until sunriiiiiii… hnnngh."
Lilith collapsed on the bed.
"Eh…?" Kang-Woo stared wide-eyed at Lilith, passed out on the bed. There was no response even when he poked her cheek. "The hell?"
He examined her in confusion; she was sleeping away, off in her land of dreams.
"Hah," Kang-Woo chuckled. "She fell asleep?"
He scratched his head as he felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment and relief.
"Well… alright, then."
The drunk Echidna, Han Seol-Ah, and Cha Yeon-Joo were still sprawled out in the living room.
"Up we go. Jesus, they’re completely wasted."
"Hm… K-Kang-Woo… I-I don’t feel so good…"
"Yeah, yeah. Get some sleep."
Kang-Woo lifted Echidna and took her to her room.
"Hrmmm… Kang-Woo…"
Next was Seol-Ah.
"Sweet dreams, Darling. Forget everything you heard from Layla."
He kissed her on the cheek and went back out into the living room.
"Yeon-Joo can use that room… Hm? What? You’re awake?"
"..." Yeon-Joo was sitting on the couch in a daze. "Ahhh…"
Her expression brightened as soon as she saw Kang-Woo. She sprang up from the couch and raced to Kang-Woo, jumping into his arms.
"Oppa~! Where have you been?! Hihi! Don’t leave me alone!!"
"..."
’What the fuck’s up with her?’
