Chapter 120: With his wife

Klein returned to his room without any detours, as he walked through the quiet corridors of the dormitory.

The hallway was mostly empty now, only a few dim lights illuminating the path as the distant sounds of students faded into silence.

Soon, he reached his room.

A faint sigh escaped his lips as he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

"...What a day..."

He muttered under his breath.

From the forest trial to the endpoint, to Eleanor, to the sudden reaction in his body, to Orpheus, to Azara...

His hand moved to his neck unconsciously, "...That aphrodisiac was no joke..."

Even now, just thinking about it made him frown.

"...That woman really overdid it."

He really hates it when people force him to do things that he doesn’t want to.

Fortunately Orpheus was there...

Pushing himself off the door, he walked further into the room and sat on the bed.

"Wait a minute... why should I sleep alone when I have a wife?"

---

*swoosh*

Klein appeared inside Orpheu’s house in the Spirit Realm and saw her resting in the bed with the sheet draped over her.

Her long green hair was loosely spread across the pillow, and her bare shoulders were visible above the edge of the sheet.

She had clearly cleaned up after everything, including the blood, and she also cleaned up the bed after their earlier sex.

At the sudden shift in presence, she glanced up.

For a brief moment she simply looked at him. Then a small, slightly sleepy smile touched her lips.

"...Husband?"

Klein walked over to the side of the bed without hesitation. He sat down on the edge, the mattress dipping slightly under his weight, and looked at her.

"I didn’t feel like sleeping alone."

Orpheus’s eyes softened. She shifted under the sheet, making a small space beside her, then reached out and lightly tugged at his sleeve.

"Then stop sitting there and come here."

Klein removed his clothes before sliding under the sheet with her.

The moment he lay down, Orpheus moved closer, fitting herself against his side.

One of her arms draped across his waist, and her head came to rest against his chest.

"...You came back sooner than I expected," she murmured against his chest.

Klein’s hand settled on her back, moving in a slow, absentminded stroke "Well, some small things happened after I left, and after reaching my room, I came here."

Orpheus hummed quietly "Did anything dangerous happen?"

"Not dangerous. Just some complicated things."

She lifted her head slightly so she could look at his face.

"Then leave the complicated things outside for now," she said softly. "You’re here. I’m here. That is enough for tonight."

Klein met her gaze, then gave a small nod.

He leaned down and pressed a brief kiss to her forehead.

Orpheus settled back against his chest with a quiet, content breath.

Her leg shifted over his, tangling lightly with his under the sheet as she made herself comfortable.

"Stay until morning this time."

Klein’s hands settled on her waist.

In one smooth motion he pulled her fully on top of him.

"Woah-" Orpheus let out a soft sound of surprise as she was guided up, ending up straddling his hips with her hands braced lightly against his shoulders.

The sheet slipped down around them, leaving her bare upper body exposed in the soft light of the Spirit Realm.

From this angle he had a clear view of the marks he had left earlier.

Faint bite marks still colored the soft curves of her breasts, her shoulders, and the line of her collarbone.

Klein raised one hand and lightly traced the edge of a mark on the upper curve of her breast with his fingertips.

"Do they hurt?"

Orpheus looked down at him for a moment. Then a small, almost mischievous smile touched her lips.

Instead of answering right away, she lowered her body.

Her full breasts pressed against his bare chest.

She shifted deliberately, rubbing the soft, marked flesh against him.

The warmth of her skin and the gentle drag of her nipples across his chest sent a clear wave of sensation through both of them.

"...Not enough to stop me from doing this," she murmured.

Klein’s hands slid up her bare back, then down again to rest on her hips.

"You’re doing that on purpose."

Orpheus gave a quiet, breathy laugh and rubbed against him once more, slower this time.

She leaned down further until her lips were close to his ear, her breasts still pressed firmly against his chest.

"They don’t hurt," she whispered. "They just remind me how rough my husband was with me earlier."

She punctuated the words with another slow drag of her breasts against his chest.

Klein’s fingers tightened slightly on her waist.

Orpheus pulled back just enough to look at his face again, "...If you keep staring like that, I might start thinking you want to add more marks before morning."

He chuckled, "Tempting. But I already made enough of a mess of you earlier."

Orpheus’s expression softened at that.

She let her body relax and lay fully on top of him.

The soft weight of her breasts naturally stelled over him as she snuggled in.

One of her arms slid under his shoulder while the other curled against his side.

Her long green hair spilled across his chest and the pillow as she nestled her face into the crook of his neck.

"...This is better," she murmured against his neck.

Klein tilted his head slightly, resting his cheek against her hair.

"Yeah."

Orpheus shifted just enough to get more comfortable, her leg sliding between his under the sheet.

Klein’s hand drifted lower, resting on the curve of her ass, and a moment later, he spoke "Did Elfaria come back?"

Orpheus made a small sound against his neck and shook her head slightly "No."

A short silence followed.

Then he spoke again "...There’s something I want to tell you."

Orpheus tilted her head just enough to glance up at him, "What is it?"

Klein was quiet for a second longer, as if thinking how to begin.

"I’m not originally from this world. I was reincarnated."

"In my previous life, my name was Irakiel..."
