"I thought to inspire some more husbandly instincts in myself."
His head lifted from the crook of your shoulder, snatching your heated gaze with his own as he pulled back to look at you. "And was it successful?" you whispered softly, lips scant inches away from his own. He observed you for several long moments, his gaze searching as it roamed the whole of your features.
"No," he said at long last, his voice just as soft as he confessed his guilt to the silent room. "Not even once."
I don’t think you realize how excited I was to read the last part of this story, Emily, and I’m so glad that I had enough free time to read this during my break.
The continuation from the first part to this one flowed so smoothly. Through time, you begin to see that the more Hoseok and the main character gave into and admitted their guilt, the more they wanted each other. When it came to the moment where they met up in the study again, the one place where they indeed have committed the most adulterous acts, the ticking of the clock was a ticking time bomb to their pending carnality.
Also, the parallel of Hoseok’s touches from the last chapter, how they were first testing to now deliberate and desired, was nice to see. It was like a silent agreement after their time again in the library because they knew what they wanted and felt guilty about giving in, but they wanted more, so much more, because it felt good. It’s like the saying “forbidden fruit is always the sweetest,” and it was interesting to see how everything unraveled from then.
When it came to the climax, I knew deep down what was coming, but it was still chilling to see it through. Their cheating was revealed, the pregnancy (which, I was actually surprised that Lady Giselle got pregnant too, so I was half right about that). Everything else was so entertaining yet so overwhelming to read. My heart was racing the entire time because I didn’t want anything bad to happen to the main characters, but considering everything, it felt like it was bound to happen, so I just had to continue reading on with my teeth clenched and let everything fall into place as you wrote it.
This was a really fantastic story to read. Even more so because this was based on your familial history which was tragic, but beautiful to read. Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us Emily. I loved every second of it. I’m sending you lots of love.💕
