RHH | Chapter 5.6

Leehwan urged the horse forward first. Absalom followed him, muttering under his breath.

“Just wait until tonight.”

After a simple procedure, they entered the castle. It seemed to be a fairly wealthy area, as the people’s faces glowed with vitality, and their clothes looked quite thick.

While looking around for an inn, Leehwan’s gaze stopped at one place. A flag with the image of a winged wolf, a Majir, fluttered in the wind. Judging by the colorful flags hanging in the same row, it seemed like there was some kind of celebration.

The answer came from right beside him.

“Come to think of it, tomorrow is the new year.”

“Has it already been that long?”

It seemed they had been so focused on traveling that they had forgotten the passage of time.

For Leehwan, the first day of the new year in this world was a symbol of inconvenience.

He would wake up at dawn, be dressed up by overly enthusiastic servants, and spend the entire day following the royal family’s New Year’s ceremonies. As a splendid trophy, he was never given a moment of freedom.

This was the first New Year in this world since he had escaped from them. Leehwan glanced at Absalom. He seemed to have been looking at Leehwan too, as their eyes met immediately.

“There seems to be quite a lot to see. Shall we rest at the inn for a bit and then go out to explore the village together?”

Whether Absalom intended it or not, to Leehwan, it sounded like a date invitation. He coughed awkwardly and nodded.

They quickly found an inn. As they entered, the owner greeted them. Absalom usually took the lead in such situations.

“Please give us a room for two. And prepare a bath right away.”

Even though they had been booking rooms for two since that night, it still felt strangely embarrassing. Leehwan felt his ears burning. Maybe it was just his imagination, but Absalom’s ears seemed red too.

As they entered the room, the bed was the first thing that caught their eyes. Leehwan avoided looking at it. He set their luggage down in a corner and took off his outer clothes when the staff brought in the bathtub.

After the staff left, Absalom was the first to dip his hand into the bathtub. The water was lukewarm. Absalom created a small flame and dropped it into the bathwater. The temperature rose quickly. Absalom smiled contentedly.

“You used magic just now. What if you collapse again?”

Leehwan, who had gotten closer without realizing it, stared intently at Absalom. Absalom shook his head.

“I was feeling unwell back then. This much is fine.”

Leehwan scrutinized Absalom’s face. It was clear he was trying to determine if Absalom was lying. Absalom, who had nothing to hide, met Leehwan’s gaze with a calm expression.

After a moment, Leehwan spoke.

“Don’t tell me you’ve been taking care of me like this all along?”

Absalom blinked. Then, with a smile, he replied.

“I haven’t been taking care of you. I just… looked after you a little.”

“Judging by the way you’re dodging the question, it seems you really have.”

Leehwan narrowed his eyes. His lips moved slowly. At that moment, Absalom leaned in closer. Their lips quickly met and then parted.

Peck.

“Trying to gloss over it like this…”

Peck.

“Hey, Rlom. You really…”

Peck. Peck. Peck.

“Wait…!”

Leehwan’s parted lips were invaded by Absalom’s hot tongue. The friction between their flesh stirred up arousal.

Absalom lifted Leehwan’s shirt and caressed his waist. Leehwan grabbed his hand and pulled it out from under his clothes. Absalom slowly stroked Leehwan’s hand.

Their lips parted, and hot breaths mingled between them. Absalom greedily swallowed Leehwan’s exhaled breath. Still unsatisfied, he leaned in again when Leehwan muttered.

“We were supposed to rest and then go out.”

“It’s still bright outside. We can go out before sunset.”

“We need to bathe too.”

“Right. Then I guess there’s no choice…”

Absalom trailed off. Taking it as a reluctant acceptance, Leehwan relaxed his body.

It wasn’t that he disliked having sex with Absalom. It was just a bit embarrassing to do it during the day.

His lower body was already tense. Feeling a bit guilty, Leehwan patted Absalom’s shoulder.

Absalom grabbed Leehwan’s waist and lifted him up in one swift motion. While Leehwan was still processing what happened, his shoes fell off. Leehwan quickly looked at Absalom, who was smiling mischievously with red lips.

“Rlom!”

Absalom sat down in the bathtub with Leehwan in his arms. The water, which had been halfway full, rose instantly. Leehwan, soaked up to his chest, let out a dry laugh.

“You…”

“But you’re like this too.”

Absalom reached out and rubbed Leehwan’s crotch. The already half-hard member swelled further with a few strokes. The stimulation, still trapped under his clothes, was frustrating. Leehwan frowned, and Absalom tilted his head.

“Shall we just take a bath like this?”

The gentle voice sounded almost innocent. Leehwan reached out and grabbed Absalom’s collar, pulling him closer.

“Where did you learn to act like this?”

“Did it work?”

The voice that came back was filled with unmistakable heat. Leehwan felt a thirst. He licked his dry lips, and Absalom let out a small moan.

“It’s unfair.”

“What is?”

“No matter how I look at it, I can’t win.”

Absalom closed the remaining distance in an instant. Just before their lips met, Leehwan muttered bluntly.

“I don’t remember winning much.”

The hot mingling of their tongues made his vision flicker. Kissing Absalom was always this hot and dizzying. His lips, finally free, gasped for air.

There were two sets of breaths. Leehwan followed the sound that wasn’t his own and lowered his gaze. Absalom was looking up at him, breathing heavily.

A face flushed with desire, swollen wet lips, and eyes dyed with excitement.

Things that had always seemed pure and white were now completely red. He had done that. Realizing it, a shiver of emotion washed over Leehwan.

His body, which had been sitting on Absalom’s lap, gradually leaned forward. His trapped member pressed against Absalom’s body. Without realizing it, he rubbed his lower body, and eager hands quickly pulled down his pants. Leehwan also reached out and began unbuttoning Absalom’s shirt.

The soaked clothes clung uncomfortably to their skin. Leehwan tugged at Absalom’s shirt. But with his trembling hands, he could only manage to undo the buttons. Giving up, Leehwan moved his hands downward.

The pants were also wet, but the strings here were easier to untie. Leehwan pulled down Absalom’s pants and underwear in one go. The member, freed from its confines, sprang up.

The thick, veiny cock looked almost intimidating. Leehwan stared at it intently. His mouth felt strangely itchy.

Suddenly, he felt a piercing gaze. Leehwan looked up. Absalom was staring at him with burning eyes. After a moment of meeting that gaze, Leehwan got off his lap.

“Stand up for a bit.”

Absalom pushed himself up using the edge of the bathtub. The impressive member was now right in front of Leehwan’s face. Leehwan wrapped his hand around the slick, glistening cock. A sharp intake of breath came from above. It felt unbearably satisfying.

‘A little more.’

Leehwan opened his mouth and took the cock in. A panicked voice called his name, but he ignored it and licked the tip with his tongue.

“Ah!”

A salty, slightly bitter taste spread in his mouth. The cock seemed to grow even larger. Leehwan lowered his head further. Given its size, taking it all in was impossible. He moved his head back and forth, like he did with his hand, when Absalom grabbed his forehead.

“Stop! Stop! I’m going to…!”

Leehwan licked the shaft with his tongue. The ridges of the veins brushed against his tongue. A strained moan escaped, and the hand on his forehead tightened. Leehwan looked up. He wanted to see Absalom’s expression.

Their gazes met in mid-air. Absalom’s deep blue eyes instantly grew hotter.

“Leehwan, you really!”

Squelch!

Absalom pulled out roughly and grabbed Leehwan’s shoulders, lifting him up. The pants around his thighs quickly fell. Leehwan lifted his legs to help Absalom.

The soaked pants fell outside the bathtub. Absalom turned Leehwan around and thrust his fingers into the tight space between his buttocks. Even Leehwan could feel how tight it was.

“Ah… Just wait. I’m really not going to let this go.”

The anxious voice sounded excited. Leehwan secretly smiled. But that smile disappeared in seconds. Absalom bent over and pushed his tongue into the crevice.

The hot flesh stimulated the space between his buttocks and perineum. Long fingers pried open the firm muscles and relentlessly probed inside. The sound of wet squelching filled the air.

At some point, a sharp pleasure shot through his body. Leehwan barely managed to suppress a moan. But Absalom had already noticed.

“You liked this spot last time too.”

“Ah—!”

The fingers kept pressing against one spot. A moan escaped before he could stop it. Leehwan twisted his waist to escape the fingers. Absalom kissed him deeply from above.

“You’re really something.”

Absalom said that as he pulled out his fingers. The hole, now empty, twitched, craving more stimulation. Just wait a bit. Absalom muttered as he spread Leehwan’s buttocks.

Something large and thick pushed into the tight entrance. Leehwan arched his back. His head rested on Absalom’s shoulder. He turned his head and kissed Absalom’s ear.

“Ah! If you keep doing this…”

“Doing what?”

Leehwan’s own voice surprised him with how aroused it sounded. Absalom, trembling, continued.

“I won’t be able to go easy on you.”

“Is that so?”

Leehwan slid his lips downward. The smooth skin below the ear, the delicate line of the jaw, the vein on the neck.

He buried his lips in the white neck and sucked hard. The vivid red mark left behind was satisfying. He kissed the spot several times when he was suddenly penetrated from behind.

“Ah!”

Absalom’s cock pressed against a spot that sent shivers through Leehwan. A moan escaped Leehwan’s lips as Absalom’s lips touched the nape of his neck. Absalom, breathing heavily, muttered.

“Really… Leehwan, you’re being too much.”

“That’s why.”

Leehwan reached out and grabbed Absalom’s head. He pulled him down for a kiss and whispered.

“I never said to go easy.”

Do what you want. As he added that, Absalom let out a beast-like groan. The sound, filled with excitement, made Leehwan’s head spin.

The cock, which had retreated to a precarious point, thrust back in fiercely. Leehwan braced himself against the bathtub. Each thrust made the wood creak under his palms.

“Wait… Ah! It’s going to break!”

Leehwan slapped Absalom’s thigh and shouted. Absalom licked the back of Leehwan’s neck and replied.

“That sounds so dirty.”

“What’s dirty! The bathtub might break!”

“Oh.”
