Bondage and Marriage - 60

“It’s not working.”

“Huh?”

Today, Ian was in a bit of a better mood, so he had a lighter feeling as he went to work, but Daniel was hunched over. Why? It shouldn’t be possible that it wasn’t working… The dessert shop Daniel recommended was so popular that you couldn’t even get in without waiting, so it should’ve worked. Ian had even given a little extra tip to make sure it got ordered…

“He didn’t seem happy when he received it.”

Just like how Ian had smiled brightly when talking about the honeymoon, he thought that when he gave the gift, Noah would be happy. But Noah didn’t seem happy at all. He just stared at the tart in silence. Ian, unable to wait any longer for a response, left. It was mostly Ian’s fault for not being able to wait for Noah’s reaction or say something like “I bought this for you,” but Daniel, unaware of this, was just sweating nervously. Ian waved his hand, annoyed.

“Well, whatever… What about the travel destination?”

“I’ve booked three places just in case, for a two-night, three-day trip this weekend.”

Daniel replied sharply. The duration was short for a honeymoon, but since the trip was planned so suddenly, Ian knew that was the best they could do.

After Ian acknowledged that he liked Noah, he often thought about all the things he had done to him, trying to suppress his aching heart. If it had been any other person, they would’ve already divorced, so he sometimes sighed heavily, wondering how far Noah could have reached his limit.

Now that he was trying to fix things, it was harder than he thought. He wondered if Noah would think of this as a new kind of torment. More than anything, acting opposite to everything he had done his whole life made it difficult for him to speak honestly in front of Noah.

Ian hoped that this trip would help improve Noah’s mood and took the list of travel destinations from Daniel.

Although it was called a honeymoon, Noah was simply excited. He expected that Ian would torment him, but aside from that, just going on a trip was something that made him happy.

When Hayden learned that Ian and Noah were going on the trip, he had perfectly finished the preparations. The destination was an island in the Pacific, famous for its tourist attractions. The island was nice, the sea was nice, the water activities were great, and the cool drinks and ice cream after playing in the water would be fantastic. Now that he thought about it, it had been a while since Noah had gone anywhere. Before marriage, he used to go on trips twice a month, but since the marriage, Noah hadn’t been anywhere except Cube Island.

Of course, Ian probably wouldn’t play with him on the trip, but Noah was confident that he could still enjoy himself alone. Water activities were fun by himself. Although, if Ian did something here and there… it would make it even more enjoyable!

Ian had decided to leave for the trip two days after suggesting it. Since Noah was happy the sooner the better, he agreed easily, and finally, the day of the trip arrived. Since the preparations had been made by Hayden and the other servants, Noah only needed to board the plane. After completing the check-in at the airport, Noah boarded the private plane with Ian. Unlike last time when Daniel was with them, this time it was just Ian and Noah alone.

Noah nervously swallowed and glanced at Ian sitting in the seat in front of him. He liked doing things on the plane… But contrary to Noah’s expectations, Ian remained silent and sat quietly. In the end, since Noah was the one feeling disappointed, he had no choice but to speak first.

“Um, is work not busy?”

Ian didn’t take his eyes off his phone or electronic pad, so Noah asked him. Ian briefly looked up at Noah. “Busy, but I still thought it would be good to go on this trip.”

Hmm… well, it was true that it’s good to take a break when things are busy. After remembering how Tanner had collapsed from overworking, Noah nodded quietly. At that moment, it seemed like Ian sighed, but Noah thought it was just his imagination.

Since the flight would take about three to four hours, Noah, feeling bored, fiddled with his phone. He played some games and checked a few things to pass the time. But then, something felt strange. It felt like he was being watched. When he looked up, Ian was looking at him, and when he looked up again, Ian was still focused on his electronic pad. What was going on? Why did he keep having this strange feeling today?

When Noah was feeling a little uneasy, a flight attendant, dressed neatly, came over with a tray of food. It was lunch. Noah’s eyes sparkled when he saw the familiar dishes and food. Ah… the mansion’s chef must have come along! The food was beautifully prepared, just like it was at the mansion, and Noah eagerly picked up his utensils.

Although Ian wasn’t as talkative as his older brother, William, he wasn’t completely quiet either. During meals, Noah usually focused on eating, and throughout lunch, the only sound between them was the clinking of utensils. Finally, as dessert was brought out, Noah was happily enjoying the warm tea with mille-feuille (a pastry with custard cream and layers of puff pastry) when Ian, without realizing, picked up his dessert and took a small bite before pushing it away.

“…You’re not going to eat it?” Noah wondered. Why wasn’t he eating something so delicious? After all, Tanner and William didn’t like sweets much, so at the Frost mansion, only Noah and Benjamin usually got the sweet desserts. Benjamin loved sweets so much, he would have had cavities by now if it weren’t for regular checkups.

As Noah was finishing his mille-feuille, he glanced at Ian’s dessert. But eating someone else’s food felt a little strange… although, honestly, Noah didn’t mind that much. What bothered him was how Ian had taken just a tiny bite and then left it—Noah couldn’t understand why he’d waste such a good dessert. As he drooled over Ian’s mille-feuille, Ian stood up.

Not wasting any time, Noah quickly swapped his plate with Ian’s. He planned to eat it before Ian came back and then have the flight attendant take away the plates to cover his tracks. Noah cut a large piece of mille-feuille, stuffing it into his mouth, savoring the sweet and smooth custard cream and the crunchy puff pastry. He was so happy, but when Ian returned less than a minute later, Noah froze in surprise.

“……”

He had thought Ian wouldn’t eat it, but didn’t expect him to return so soon. Noah was torn, wondering whether he should just swallow the whole piece quickly, but felt relieved he hadn’t. He couldn’t chew or spit it out now, feeling awkward and guilty. He knew it was wrong to touch Ian’s food, so whatever Ian said was deserved. However, Ian didn’t scold him. Instead, he raised an eyebrow, called the flight attendant, and ordered another plate of mille-feuille for Noah.

Noah’s eyes widened. Not only had Ian given him the plate of mille-feuille he had been eyeing, but he had also ordered another one for him! Ian, who had been so distant before, was now unexpectedly kind, and Noah felt both thankful and embarrassed. He quickly chewed and swallowed the dessert in his mouth and said,

“Thank you… I’ll enjoy it…?”

Ian simply raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes. In the past, Ian wouldn’t even let Noah eat properly, but now he was being this generous, and Noah couldn’t help but look at him with a new perspective. It felt like Ian had suddenly become a completely different person. Well, whatever the case, Noah decided to enjoy the rest of the dessert, which filled him up. Feeling full and warm, he yawned and, like Ian, lay down and fell asleep.

However, that day, Ian’s odd and unusual behavior didn’t stop there.

The resort they had arrived at was perfect for fun. The mansion, owned by the Miller family, was located in a scenic and remote area. The ocean was clear, and the sun was shining, with just the right amount of clouds. But when they arrived, instead of leaving Noah alone as he had expected, Ian actually took him around, showing him the beach and the villa’s spa.

At first, Noah was a little confused by Ian’s actions, but to his surprise, Ian was enjoying himself and had fun with Noah. Even though sometimes Ian would stare at the floor or gaze intently at Noah, for the most part, he joined in with the fun.

Noah thought it wasn’t so bad, even though Ian was acting a little differently. After all, it was more fun to have someone to play with than being alone. Today, Ian had shown a lot of unexpected sides of himself.

Since water activities took up a lot of energy, by evening, Noah was feeling quite tired. However, because he had enjoyed the day so much, he felt happy while watching the sunset and enjoying the chef’s special dinner. After a refreshing shower, Noah sat lazily on the bed, feeling content and thinking, “This really feels like a date.”

Noah, in a great mood from how unexpectedly fun the day had been, was thinking it would be perfect to sleep now. But just as he was about to drift off, Ian came out of the shower a little later, wearing a robe. He stared at Noah, who was quietly sitting on the bed, and something dark flickered in his eyes.

Noah had become familiar with the way Ian acted when he wanted to tease him over the past couple of months. He swallowed dryly and looked at Ian. It had already been five days since Ian had last touched him, and Noah was hoping Ian would finally act on his desires. He was excited.

Ian walked closer, and Noah looked at him with innocent eyes, rolling them playfully.

“Ian…?”

As expected, Ian came up and slowly cupped Noah’s cheek with his hand. “Finally!” Noah thought, feeling relieved, but then Ian’s warm breath brushed his ear, and he bit Noah’s neck lightly. The sharp pain made Noah shiver as he quietly observed Ian, who had taken off his robe to reveal his well-built body.

Noah, used to Ian biting and licking his neck and chest by now, didn’t find it strange. He obediently offered his neck, shivering as Ian’s hot tongue made noises while licking and gently biting the now-cool skin on his neck. The pain wasn’t as bad as usual today, and Noah thought it was actually pleasant.

After licking and biting Noah’s neck several times, Ian let out a low, growling sound. Ian then lifted Noah up and placed him on the bed, taking off his robe before staring at him. Seeing Ian’s eyes flicker with an emotion Noah couldn’t quite read, he realized something was wrong and instinctively lay face down, as Ian usually liked this position. This was a position known as “doggy style.”

But before Noah could fully get into position, his shoulder was firmly grabbed and he was roughly knocked down. Noah, who had pretended to be surprised, was now truly surprised. Ian’s face seemed distorted not by anger or excitement, but by pain.

“No, not today… I won’t do it that way.”

“Huh?”

Ian gritted his teeth for a moment, then muttered lowly. That he wouldn’t need to get into that position anymore. Noah was puzzled by what he meant, when Ian suddenly captured Noah’s lips. As Ian licked Noah’s lips softly and pushed his tongue in, Noah felt a vague unease…

Ian lightly bit and licked Noah’s lips, then deeply pushed his tongue in, kissing him hungrily. While doing so, Ian’s hands skillfully caressed Noah’s body, arousing him. Noah was a bit flustered at Ian’s completely different movements.

“Mmm… Ah…”

Even though Noah wondered why Ian was acting this way, he could feel his own body starting to heat up as Ian touched him. Every time Ian gently scratched, rubbed his n1pples, licked and bit his delicate skin, Noah’s body flinched.

Noah had experienced bruises on his buttocks, swollen and twisted n1pples, and even large insertions that left his belly aching. But this tender caressing was almost entirely new to him. After all, he had realized his orientation even before becoming an adult, and had gone to clubs after fully understanding himself, later even meeting a notoriously cruel alpha. The so-called normal positions and relationships were completely unfamiliar to Noah.

Noah squirmed uncomfortably at the tickling and unfamiliar caresses, until Ian finally parted his legs and took out some lube from the nearby drawer. Seeing the lube thoroughly soaking Ian’s fingers, Noah hesitantly opened his mouth to ask.

“I-Ian…? Why… Why are you doing this?”

“Shh. I won’t hurt you.”

Despite Ian’s soothing tone, Noah blinked at his words about not hurting him. Why…? Why? But Noah’s thoughts were interrupted as Ian pushed one finger inside.

“Ah…”

As the single finger slowly and sensuously probed inside, Noah gripped the sheets. What is this…? Does Ian have a twin? Or is he drunk? Did he eat something wrong? While Noah was unable to grasp the situation, the diligent finger probing inside increased to two.

The slightly squelching sound of the two fingers slowly pistoning made Noah desperately want to tell Ian to just flip him over and pound him, but he held it in, shuddering. The caressing touches inside were making Noah’s toes curl restlessly in anticipation. When Ian’s fingers curled and lightly scratched a certain spot, that was when it happened.

“Hic, Ah!”

As Noah’s legs reflexively clenched, Ian pushed them back open and moved his fingers again. Slowly and firmly, Ian’s fingers pressed against a certain spot inside, making Noah’s legs tremble. A pure, spine-tingling pleasure with no pain at all shot through him. Realizing what Ian was doing, Noah whimpered and shook his head.

“I-Ian… W-wait a moment, ah!”

Soothing Noah’s skin like comforting a frightened maiden on her wedding night, Ian continued to move his fingers. Every time he firmly massaged that incredibly sensitive spot inside, white bursts of pleasure flashed before Noah’s eyes and moans spilled from his lips. No, this isn’t right…

“Ah, mmh…”

“Ah, so good…”

Even though Noah wanted to say it wasn’t right, all that came out were panting moans. Now the fingers were squelching obscenely as they lightly pinched around the area. Every time Ian’s firm knuckles circled that spot, Noah felt like he was melting, and despite his struggles, his legs involuntarily spread wider to welcome Ian.

Looking down at the quivering Noah, Ian’s eyes darkened even further.
