Chapter 80: Teasing

“Answer me!” Seeing that Claire wasn’t responding, Frederick’s gaze grew even darker. He grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head against the headboard before pressing his lips against hers.

“Mmph!” Claire was caught off guard. Her entire body froze, leaving her only aware of the warmth of Frederick’s lips. Her mind went completely blank, except for one realization. Frederick was actually kissing her?

“Tell me! How many people have you slept with?” As Claire was still dazed, Frederick’s voice broke through once more. This time, his lips hovered over hers. His words were mumbled and a little unclear. His tone was soft, lacking the harshness it usually carried.

“I… I haven’t… It’s always been only you.”

Claire’s heart skipped a beat. This gentle side of Frederick was something she had never seen before, and it hit her in the most vulnerable part of her heart. Memories of following him around all her life began to flash before her eyes like scenes from a movie.

“Frederick, when I grow up, I’m going to marry you!” Her first childhood promise.

“Frederick, I like you… No, I love you! I want to be with you forever!” Her first confession as a teenager.

“Frederick, you’re mine. I’m telling you, no matter what, you belong to me, and I’ll make sure you fall in love with me!” Even after Frederick had clearly rejected her, she had bravely continued pursuing him.

“Frederick, you’re going to marry me, whether you want to or not!” When she had been exhausted from chasing him, she used the Prescott family’s power and Frederick’s weaknesses to force him into marriage. But never, in any of those moments, had Frederick ever been this warm or careful with her. Especially now, seeing the tenderness and affection in Frederick’s eyes, Claire found herself completely falling for him. This was everything she had dreamed of for most of her life.

At that moment, Claire didn’t care about anything else. She just wanted to be with Frederick.

“I want you.” Frederick’s deep, magnetic voice softly echoed in her ear.

“Okay.” It was as if Claire was under a spell, with the words “I want you” swirling in her mind over and over. After her soft reply, Frederick let go of her hands. Nodding, Claire wrapped her arms tightly around Frederick. Frederick closed his eyes tightly, burying his face in her neck as he began to kiss her. The long-awaited love and touch she had dreamed of were now becoming a reality. It felt like a dream as Claire’s body trembled, instinctively wanting to hold onto him tighter. But she feared that if she held on too tight, it would all slip away like sand between her fingers.

“You’re so sweet.” Frederick gently kissed her, testing the waters with each touch. He wasn’t sure if it was because he had never been this close with a woman before or if the alcohol was lowering his inhibitions, letting his suppressed feelings flow out. Or maybe it was just the drunken impulse, but Frederick seemed like a completely different person. Unlike the rough, thoughtless kiss from earlier, now he was gentle and tender. He held Claire close, whispering sweet words.

“Mmh!” Under Frederick’s passionate words, Claire found herself responding to his touch, offering him her lips. Frederick’s kisses traveled from her lips to her neck, lingering there for a while before he slid her clothes off and began kissing the softness of her chest.

“Ahh!” Claire, never having been this intimate with anyone before, felt a brief moment of discomfort. As Frederick’s lips wrapped around her nipple, Claire’s body trembled violently as if all the blood in her veins had started rushing faster.

“It feels… so uncomfortable… I want… I need…” Claire suddenly felt an emptiness in her lower abdomen, as if something was missing, and she desperately craved for it to be filled. The more Frederick sucked on her nipple, the more Claire felt the need to be touched, to be thoroughly ravished. Her legs began rubbing together instinctively as she arched her chest toward Frederick, wanting more of his kisses. Yet, the emptiness inside her only deepened, making her feel more desperate.

“What do you want?” Frederick’s breathing grew heavier as he watched Claire in this state, feeling his own hormones ignite and course through his body.

“I want…” Claire writhed beneath Frederick’s weight, feeling overwhelmed by the desire flooding through her.

“What do you want?” Hearing Claire’s soft gasps and seductive moans, Frederick felt himself harden instantly, but he savored watching her like this. His hand slid down her body, finally reaching her private area. He began to stroke her gently.

“Ah! Frederick, I can’t take it… I need you… Please, do it!” The intense sensation was something Claire had never experienced before, being so new to intimacy. She couldn’t handle it anymore and begged Frederick.

“How should I do it, huh?” Frederick thoroughly enjoyed seeing Claire like this, and even though he was already struggling with his own needs, he continued teasing her.

Claire was overwhelmed with desire, but the embarrassment held her back, making it difficult to say the words that had her heart racing.

“Do you want me to use my hand, or should I use something else to fuck you? Huh? Say it!” Frederick smirked, leaning down to whisper seductively in her ear.

“L… I want you to…” Claire could barely handle the tension any longer. She felt like she would lose herself if this continued and finally began to speak.

Before she could finish, Frederick’s phone started vibrating, cutting her off. The call was from Caroline.
