Living with the Dangerous Beast-Chapter 38: A Pillow for the Fox

It was fortunate that she regained her health, but strangely enough, as the weather got colder, Sohwa’s whining increased.

Autumn was ending. The ground was frozen solid from last night’s frost. As Dohwi prepared breakfast as usual, Sohwa complained about the cold weather and refused to pick up her spoon.

“My whole body feels frozen. I couldn’t sleep well, and now I have no appetite.”

“Still, you should eat. You need to eat to regain your strength.”

For several days now, Sohwa had been complaining about the cold and barely eating any food, so Dohwi made her red bean porridge with chestnuts and various nuts.

However, despite her usual love for sweets, Sohwa refused to eat and just pouted in displeasure.

“Hmph, what’s the point of eating? It’s so cold that I can barely feel my mouth!”

“That’s because you always leave the door open at night, Sohwa.”

“But I hate the stiff feeling when I sleep with the doors closed!”

For the past few days, Dohwi had been stoking the fire in the stove all night long because Sohwa wouldn’t stop complaining about the cold weather.

But with the floor boiling hot, she complained that it was suffocating and then left the doors wide open. Dohwi saw Sohwa having her share of temper tantrums in the past, but this was on a whole different level.

“First, you need to get completely well, Sohwa. You MUST eat well and stay warm.” freēnovelkiss.com

“Hmph!”

Sohwa snorted and barely pretended to take a bite of the red bean porridge before quickly lying back down.

“Aren’t you going to eat more?”

“I said I have no appetite.”

Dohwi, looking at her with a helpless expression, finally removed the breakfast tray and brought out a carefully stored persimmon.

“Try this, Sohwa.”

Dohwi peeled the thin skin off the plump persimmon and scooped out the soft flesh with a small wooden spoon. When he brought it to Sohwa’s lips, she opened her mouth like a baby bird.

“Is it good?”

“Mmhmm. It’s tasty. So sweet!”

Her lips moved adorably as she chewed.

If only she had eaten the meals he had prepared for her, her recovery would have been much faster.

Despite presenting her with all sorts of nutritious delicacies, Sohwa barely ate. As a result, she grew weaker, coughing at the slightest chill.

She even detested taking long walks. She stuck to staying cooped up inside, like an animal preparing for hibernation.

For the past few weeks, Dohwi tried his best to remind himself that making any sexual advances towards his lovely fox in such a weak state would be intolerable, even with his relatively ‘low’ moral standards.

But his patience, strong as it was, couldn’t withstand Sohwa’s foxy and cute provocations.

“Is there more?”

Having finished one persimmon, Sohwa sat up, eyeing Dohwi’s sticky hands with a longing gaze.

“Your hands must be feeling sticky. Let me clean them for you.”

Sohwa crawled forward on all fours, lying down in front of Dohwi who was sitting cross-legged. she took his large hands while flicking out her nimble tongue.

From his thumb, then to his index finger, and finally to his middle finger. She licked between his fingers and over the thick knuckles. Dohwi watched her intently, his gaze darkening. The silence in the room only amplified the sound of Sohwa’s licking.

As Sohwa continued to suck on his fingers, Dohwi finally spoke, his eyes locked on her.

“Would it help if you held something warm while you sleep?”

“Hmm?”

“At night, I mean.”

“Oh, absolutely. That would help.”

Sohwa nodded with a mischievous look on her face.

“I wish I had something big and warm to hold onto all night. Do you know where I can find something like that?”

Dohwi’s lips curved into a smile.

‘So, that’s why... This naughty fox must have wanted to bear offspring... That’s why she had been cooped up in her own room for weeks.’

He remembered a similar time last winter.

Back then, he thought Sohwa was just unwell, doing nothing else but eating and sleeping all day long.

She had stayed in her room, seemingly sick, and then a few days later, her heat came.

The smell of Sohwa during her heat was so intoxicating. He wanted to follow her around all day, burying his nose in the nape of her neck, but he had to restrain himself in case he bit her. The sharp, sweet scent made his mouth water.

As Dohwi gazed down at her, he brushed his lips. He felt tempted. He wanted to ‘devour’ this cute fox as soon as possible, all day long.

“How about sleeping in my arms?”

Sohwa pretended to think, rolling her grape-like eyes. Then she nodded eagerly.

“Yes, using your arm as a pillow sounds perfect! Warm, nice-smelling, and big enough that even if I wriggle around, you won’t wake up.”

Dohwi let out a low chuckle at the cute fox’s cunning trick.

Thus, their first night together had been confirmed.
