The Devil's Cursed Witch

188 [Bonus chapter]The Things Married Couple Do



As things proceeded within the book, Ember found herself holding her breath with the next shocking matter she read from the following lines. The king’s hand was roaming his wife’s body. Didn’t Draven do the same thing? While pinned against that bookshelf, he had touched her chest and–

Instinctively, her hands moved to cover her chest. Ember found herself panting at this point, her face so hot she was thankful no one could see her expression inside her study.

‘Do husbands really do this? I thought His Majesty was just being unreasonable back then. But why…do they need to…? It’s embarrassing! Aah! So embarrassing!’

It took her some time to calm herself. Though she was trying hard to focus on the story, images of Draven occupied her mind, and at times, she started fantasizing about her and Draven in place of the king and the princess in bed…

‘It would surely feel good for us too, right? No, no, wait…! I’m forgetting something. If His Majesty and I do the things married couples do and our senses get overtaken by our scents–‘

That intoxicating scent of her mate…

Gulping, Ember stopped herself and focused on reading the next part of the story.

‘I should just read it all in one go and get done with it. Why am I losing myself in fantasies?’

As she read what happened next, her embarrassment reached the top of her head.

“Aah! He’s removing her clothes! I know clothes need to be removed b-but… Ahhh! So weird! Can I really continue reading? I want to stop but–“

As the king and his wife continued to tangle between the sheets, Ember felt like she was encountering a brand new world. It was as if the words were simply flying before her eyes, and she became so engrossed the characters of the story seemed to have become alive in front of her.

Under the spell of intimacy between the king and his wife, it was difficult for Ember to keep herself calm.

‘What…?’ Her eyes grew wide as her body shivered. ‘It hurts but it’s pleasurable…? How could such a–am I thinking it wrong? Is it even possible? Their bodies…? I-I think I am reading something really wrong. Why would she beg for more? …Harder? Faster? W-What…?’

Ember didn’t realize it, but her breathing had become erratic the further she read. All those erotic explanations were making her feel hot and bothered.

‘So this is what  husband and wife do–they make love to one another…’

Ember’s heart was pounding so hard, that she felt her heart would come out of her chest if this continues. Her throat felt dry and her entire body was thrumming as if she were in heat. It was because in place of the characters in the book, her mind had gone ahead and put her and Draven in it.

At such a wild thought, she could not help but clench her thighs tightly. A strange heat of desire filled her belly, slowly spreading across her body.

‘What am I imagining…?’

Ember groaned as she closed the book in a hurry. She buried her face in her palms and tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths. She didn’t want to process what she had read in the book. All she wanted was to get rid of what she was feeling. She realized her face and even her palms were sweaty.

‘Water…I shall drink water to calm myself…’

Her servants had kept a pitcher of water for her on her desk. Ember poured water on the glass and emptied the entire thing down her throat without stopping. Still, she found it was not enough and poured more water into the glass and emptied them out.

‘This book…is wild. It’s extreme. It-It must be wrong! I don’t believe married couples do all those embarrassing things. I shall check others to make sure!’

She immediately pulled out the random book from the stack her servants had arranged and skimmed through it. With the help of random illustrations, she knew where she should read.

The second book was about a young master of a noble family and a beautiful commoner. This new book had an entirely different setting, but the couple did not even marry each other yet when they started becoming intimate as lovers. The embarrassing things they do were even much more absurd than in the first book!

Ember looked through another book, and this time, it was a story between a rich heiress and a royal knight. After their wedding, they consummated their marriage before the knight had to leave for war…and they also did unreasonable things to each other’s bodies! Their desires even became more extreme after they were reunited in the middle of the book!

‘So…this is what consummation really means?’

Finally, Ember decided to give up and put those books away.

She closed her eyes briefly as she leaned back in the chair but her mind and body would not calm down. She was shocked, but the more dominant feeling was her being stimulated due to what she had read. There was no way she could deal with this so easily.

She stood up and chose to go out on the balcony, hoping that the fresh air would help calm her down.

As she leaned against the railing of the balcony, the gentle breeze and the sound of birds finally made her mind less chaotic.

‘I never knew… Does this really happen in real life?’ She took one deep breath. ‘So embarrassing! I can’t even start to imagine… No wonder Gaia never told me about it. That day, even Yula looked so hesitant to answer me. I don’t think this is something I can say out loud.’

Sighing again and again, Ember slapped her cheeks to get her wits back. She paced around the balcony, and after some time, she sat on the chair on one side. Thoughts about her and Draven came to her mind.

‘His Majesty is my husband…so that means we will be doing the same…? So embarrassing!’

Ember groaned as her emotions which had barely calmed down started to turn restless once again.

‘Now I know why His Majesty asked me those questions and why he wanted me to look for an answer.’ She stared at the bright sky. ‘Night of the full moon! Reya and Clio said there are only five days left…will that truly be the night when His Majesty and I consummate our bond?’
