Sigh… Now there’s no escape, is there?
A pretend lover until he finds “someone he truly loves”—that was supposed to be fine.
An old woman like me shouldn’t hope for anything more than that.
Someday, Ceres-kun’s bound to regret this.
That’s why I answered the way I did, but I never imagined he’d go so far as to give me a necklace.
Honestly, I’ve never been treated like this before.
My ex-husband, Sectol, was always cheating on me and barely bought me anything.
I figured that’s just how it is for a village woman like me.
Sure, Ceres-kun used to say things like “I like you” and “I want to marry you” when he was little, but I didn’t think he meant it seriously.
I mean, he started saying that stuff when he was, what, five years old?
Back then, I was already pushing twenty—an old lady by comparison.
He lost his mom so young, so I thought maybe he was just lonely.
That’s what I told myself.
He said similar things to Misaki (Maria’s mother) too, after all.
But now that I think about it, there were signs.
He’d often bring me grilled river fish on skewers, or pretty stones he found by the river, saying he picked them out for me. He helped me out a lot too.
I thought, What a sweet kid or He’s so mature for his age.
Oh… he was serious, wasn’t he?
Looking back, he was just a child, but he was kinder to me than my husband or son ever were.
I’ve made up my mind—I’ll accept it.
But, well, it’s been so long since I last bothered with upkeep.
The last time I did anything like that? Hehe, it’s been so long I can’t even remember.
It might’ve been ten years, honestly.
I’ve trimmed the overgrown hair, but my figure’s definitely gone downhill, hasn’t it?
Am I really going to welcome a spry teenage boy with this body?
Is this actually okay?
But… Ceres-kun’s the one who wanted this.
No helping it. Even if I think, If only it were ten years ago, back then he was four or five—impossible.
It’d be wrong to keep him waiting any longer.
I’ve got to steel myself—there’s no turning back now.
“Ceres-kun, I’m done with my bath. Your turn.”
No going back from here.
◆◆◆
I wrapped myself in a bath towel and slipped into the blankets.
All that’s left is to wait for Ceres-kun to come out, say “Come here,” and everything will start.
It’s probably his first time… I hope it’ll be a good memory for him.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Shizuko-san.”
Here it is… I have to accept it.
“Ceres-kun… come here.”
He gently pulled me into his arms.
“Um, Ceres-kun, it’s been a while for me… so be gentle, okay? Do you know how it works?”
He nodded and leaned in to kiss me.
“Mmm, ohhh—ngh—ahh—mmm!”
He shoved his tongue in deep right away—it’s like he’s done this before.
“Ahh… ahh… Ceres-kun… you’re way too good at this.”
“Ahh… ahh… I’m not good at it… I’m just doing what I crave with the Shizuko-san I adore.”
“Ahh… ahh… Oh… Wait, no, not there—that’s filthy. You don’t have to—oh, it’s so embarrassing—ohhh—ahhh!”
No one’s ever touched me there… Kissing or licking a spot that nasty? No sane person would!
“Ahh… ahh… How can you even do that? That’s not… ahh… ahh… something anyone normal would dare!”
“There’s no part of the Shizuko-san I worship that’s filthy…”
It’s mortifying, but… it’s pure ecstasy.
No, more than that—Ceres-kun’s driving me wild. If this is what real lovemaking is, then everything before was a lie.
He’s chasing me with such raw hunger.
I can feel how much he craves me.
My body’s burning up, and as a woman, I’m aching for him—desperate for him, losing my mind with need.
Before I knew it, I’d surrendered to him completely.
In all my life, no one’s ever devoured me like this.
To think he’d crave an old hag like me… Though, it’s rude to him to keep thinking that way.
Ceres-kun’s unreal—he’s wanted me for ten whole years.
If he’s going this far, I’ve got to give him everything back.
“Ceres-kun, now it’s my turn to please you.”
I took him in myself, rocking my hips with abandon.
I always saw myself as a proper, virtuous wife.
When Sectol took me, he’d sneer and call me a “dull woman.”
But that’s bullshit—with Ceres-kun, I can be this wild, this shameless.
It’s because Sectol was the “dull man” that I ended up “dull” too.
It feels so good my head’s spinning.
I’m so blissed out it’s almost terrifying…
“Huh? Ceres-kun, I…”
He’s cradling my head on his arm.
“Did I… pass out?”
“Looks like it. You blacked out and drifted off right after.”
“So what did you do, Ceres-kun?”
“You were so damn cute, I couldn’t stop staring at your sleeping face.”
“What? You stayed up just watching me? That’s humiliating!”
I glanced at the light through the window—it was already around noon.
Not just morning, but noon already… Unreal.
As I tried to get up, Ceres-kun grabbed my hand.
“What, you still want more?”
He smirked, pulled me in close without a word, and gave a little nod.
Feeling so desired as a woman sends shivers of joy through me I can’t control.
I’m dead certain I can’t survive without Ceres-kun anymore.
He’s awakened me to a woman’s truest pleasure.
