Chapter 294

When I lay in bed with my heart pounding wildly, I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them again, the view outside had shifted from the dark night sky to a bright morning one.

I checked the time and saw it was around 6:30 AM.

I remember having a hard time falling asleep because my heart was racing, but once I did fall asleep, it was a deep, restful sleep as usual.

“Finally, morning has come,” I thought to myself.

Thump, thump, thump.

My heart started pounding like crazy as I thought about what I had to do today—something far more nerve-wracking than my usual maid duties.

This would be the first time in my life—no, in both my lives—that I would experience something like this, since in my previous life, I had died a virgin as well.

I wondered if I would have been this nervous if I’d had the chance to sleep with a woman when I was a man in my previous life. Probably not, I guessed.

But there was no backing out now. After putting Ethan through all that effort, it would be too selfish to run away.

So I had no choice but to accept it with as much composure as possible. If it was going to happen, better to do it before the school semester started, so there wouldn’t be any unnecessary complications.

“I heard the first time… can be quite painful.”

But it should be fine, right? After all, it’s Ethan.

They say tearing the hymen is painful, but that’s mostly if there’s no proper foreplay. And given that Ethan and I had engaged in plenty of foreplay before, I assumed it wouldn’t be as bad.

If I was well-prepared, maybe it wouldn’t hurt that much… hopefully.

“…But I’m still a bit nervous.”

No matter how prepared I was, I wondered if there was any way to make it less painful.

It wasn’t that I was afraid of the pain itself, but more that it was my first time, and it’s only natural for every woman to want it to be as good of a memory as possible.

And then there was the size of Ethan’s… well, it was a concern. No matter how ready I was, something that big entering me… well, it had to hurt, right?

“Maybe… I should be the one to take the lead.”

If I was the one doing it, instead of him, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad?

At least if I was in control, it wouldn’t be as bad when things started to hurt.

With that thought, I quickly got out of bed and changed into my maid uniform. They say the iron is hottest when you strike it, so it was best to act quickly.

Later that same morning, in Ethan’s bedroom:

“…So, it’s morning after all.”

The only son of the Blackwood family muttered to himself, still lying in bed after spending the night mostly awake.

“I can’t believe I was so worked up about my first time that I couldn’t even sleep… like a little kid.”

It was a ridiculously trivial reason for insomnia, even for him.

Of course, there were extenuating circumstances: the fact that his first time was going to be with his first love, the girl he had been infatuated with since childhood, made it more understandable. But still, it wasn’t something he’d want to admit out loud.

If he’d known this would happen, he might have done it last night. His plan to rest up for a day and then sleep with Lilith had already fallen apart.

He’d even planned a small date for today, since it was going to be their first time, but in his current state, it was probably better to just rest at the mansion. If he rested now, he’d recover some strength and be ready for the evening.

He thought about resting a bit more, and when Lilith came to wake him, he could explain. Or maybe she’d see him sleeping and decide to let him rest longer.

Just as he was about to drift off, a knock on the door and a familiar voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Master Ethan, it’s Lilith.”

“…Come in.”

Creak.

Ethan was a little surprised to see Lilith arriving about an hour earlier than usual, but it wasn’t entirely unwelcome.

Since he’d planned to stay in bed, it was better to explain the situation sooner rather than later.

“You’re up early, Master Ethan.”

“…Yeah, somehow.”

He couldn’t bring himself to admit that he’d stayed up all night, as it would be like admitting how much he’d been looking forward to their first time together.

If it had been another maid, he might have confessed without a second thought, but not to Lilith—the one he had feelings for.

“Lilith…”

“Yes, Master Ethan?”

“…I’m really tired today, and I think I’ll sleep a little longer. Can you let the kitchen know to skip my breakfast?”

“Oh, I’ve already taken care of that, Master Ethan, so don’t worry.”

“…You already…? Of course, Lilith… wait, what?”

He was confused by how she had anticipated his request. But before he could process it, Lilith calmly began undressing as she continued to speak.

“And… no one will be entering your room for the next four hours, so you don’t need to worry about any interruptions.”

Slip.

“W-wait, Lilith?!”

“Yes, Master Ethan?”

“What… what are you doing? Why are you undressing?”

“Why do you think?”

“…”

The reason was obvious. Too obvious for him to pretend otherwise.

He knew exactly why she was undressing. It was the same reason he had pushed himself so hard during the duel with his father.

“You know what young men and women do when they’re alone in a room together, don’t you, Master Ethan?”

“But… it’s morning, Lilith. Isn’t this kind of thing usually done at night…?”

“It’s the morning after you’ve had a good rest, Master Ethan. I’m sure the fatigue from yesterday’s duel has been fully relieved by now.”

“…”

It hadn’t. Not even close.

In fact, his muscles were aching more than before. Fatigue tends to catch up with you hours after intense exertion.

But whether she knew this or not, Lilith continued to undress until she was left standing in only her underwear. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“What do you think, Master Ethan?”

“W-what do you mean?”

“I mean, what do you think of my outfit? It’s a little different from usual, isn’t it?”

“…”

She was right. Her underwear was different from the usual.

She was wearing black, matching her stockings, but it wasn’t the plain black underwear maids usually wore. This set had lace patterns, making it look more… luxurious, almost sensual.

“You… when did you get this?”

“I made it myself. Turns out it wasn’t that difficult.”

“You… you made this?”

“Yes. I figured there’d be a time to use it, and today seems like the day, so I wore it for the occasion. Consider it my ‘special occasion’ underwear.”

“Special occasion…?”

Lilith smiled, looking at him playfully. The intricate lace on her underwear was slightly see-through, making it even more erotic than being naked.

Gulp.

“I’m glad you like it, Master Ethan.”

Ethan’s heart pounded harder than ever as Lilith smiled at him. It was a moment he had fantasized about since childhood. And now, Lilith, in all her beauty and sensuality, stood in front of him, ready.

His body responded on its own, despite the exhaustion weighing him down.

“Lilith…”

“Yes, Master Ethan?”

“Are we… really going to do this now?”

“After teasing me this much, are you planning to run away, Master Ethan?”

“I didn’t… I didn’t say anything, you just started undressing.”

“But you didn’t stop me, which means, in a way, you’re already agreeing, right?”

“…”

He had been too stunned to stop her when she started undressing, but saying that out loud would only make him seem pathetic, so he kept quiet.

“Lilith, I hate to say this now, but…”

“…”

“Like I said earlier, I’m really tired and want to rest a bit more. Could we maybe wait until dinner?”

“That’s alright, Master Ethan. You don’t have to do anything. I’ll take care of everything.”

“No, it’s not about that, it’s just—”

Fling!

“And besides, Master Ethan, it seems like your ‘little master’ doesn’t quite agree with you.”

“…”

Lilith had flung the blanket off of him, revealing the very obvious reaction his body was having despite his fatigue.

Seeing that, Ethan could no longer refuse the feel of Lilith’s hands on him.
