Living with the Dangerous Beast-Chapter 53: I Want a Baby

* * *

Calming her racing heart, Sohwa returned home. On the way, she saw a hen with her chicks and felt a pang of longing.

‘I want cute babies too.’

Though she usually didn’t think about it, every winter she felt lonely out of habit. There was an instance where she had even marked out a territory in front of the house, hoping to start a family.

But all those attempts and thoughts were all in vain. No matter how much love she shared with Dohwi, the stork wouldn’t bring them a baby.

“Dohwi, didn’t you say there’s a way for us to have a baby?”

Dohwi, who was diligently making soup at the hearth, turned to look at Sohwa as she nervously played with her earmuffs.

“You mentioned something magical for couples like us... When can we get it?”

“The orb?”

“Was it an orb?”

Pretending not to know, Sohwa asked again.

“Oh dear, it must be something the Imoogi treasures. How could we possibly borrow it....”

“You already ate it, Sohwa.”

“What? When?”

When he explained that he had given it to her when she was on the brink of death, Sohwa’s eyes widened. Sitting close enough to feel each other’s breath, she tilted her head.

“Then... does it mean that we can have a baby?”

Her warm breath touched his neck. Sohwa’s body temperature seemed much higher than usual, and her eyes were slightly red.

“Of course. You might already be pregnant.”

“Really? How do you know?”

Dohwi’s gaze, growing darker, swept over her face and down to her plump breasts.

“They say your breasts will produce milk if you’re pregnant.”

He stared so intently that even through her thick winter clothes, it felt like he could see her naked body. Embarrassed, Sohwa slowly covered herself with her hands.

“Show me. Let’s see if you’re producing milk.”

His low voice was firm, almost commanding. As Sohwa hesitated, he urged her again.

“Come on.”

Caught in his piercing yellow gaze, her knees clamped together, and a tingle ran through her lower abdomen. The growling sound of a predator echoed in her ears like tinnitus.

Sohwa closed her eyes tightly. Somehow, his words were hard to disobey, a habit formed during their intimate moments.

With small, delicate fingers, she unbuttoned her top. Trembling so much that her teeth chattered, she exposed her breasts to his gaze.

“Ah!”

His cold hand cupped her breast.

“Your nipples are erect. I haven’t even done anything.”

His index finger traced her areola. Resisting the urge to suck on her cherry-like nipples, Dohwi slowly massaged her breast. Sohwa’s quickening breaths could be heard.

“Will milk really come out of here?”

His ice-cold fingers finally touched her nipple. Sohwa began to moan softly like a small, helpless animal.

“Mmmmm... Dohwi... Dohwi....”

Twisting her nipples as if milking them, Sohwa threw her head back and groaned. Alternating between her breasts, he pinched her nipples, making her stagger.

“Looks like you’re not pregnant yet.”

As Dohwi casually buttoned her top as if nothing had happened, Sohwa grabbed his hand.

“Dohwi. I... I....”

Her blurred eyes and red lips moved hesitantly.

“I want a baby. N-Now... I want them....”

If she didn’t say what she wanted explicitly, this mischievous tiger would never give it to her. She’d been through this countless times over several nights.

Ears reddening, Sohwa barely opened her lips again, visibly fighting against all kinds of shame and embarrassment.

“W-Will you give me your seed?”

Despite her bold words, Dohwi, the notorious tiger, feigned ignorance, raising an eyebrow just like Sohwa usually did.

“Where?”

Sohwa gazed at him eagerly, her eyes moistened as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

“Should I do it on your face like last time? It was beautiful.”

His slightly upturned lips made him look even more handsome, and it infuriated her.

“Where do you want me to give you my seed?”

“....”

Sohwa’s tightly closed lips quivered. Glaring at him with resentment, she finally stood up.

“Forget it! I’ll find a proper male fox instead!”

Her voice was filled with sorrow as Dohwi let out a low chuckle. In a swift move, he caught her from behind just as she reached the door.

“EEK!!”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Let me go!”

As she struggled, Dohwi laughed and patted her bottom. With hurried steps, he carried her to the bedroom.

“You have me. I’m yours.”

“Hmph!”

“I’m sorry for teasing you, Sohwa. I’ll make it up to you. Please forgive me, okay?”

Sohwa pouted, still upset. Sometimes, this much younger tiger loved to toy with her and make her feel like she was dancing on his palm.

“Just wait. I’ll make sure you never even think about looking for another fox again.”

A playful smile spread across his face. Despite his calm demeanor, what was going on inside his mind was far from it.

Finally, Sohwa’s heat had started, something Dohwi had eagerly awaited for a long, long time. Her whole body exuded an intoxicating sweetness. He wanted to strip her clothes off and bury his face in her scent. The temptation was so great that he had to do his best to restrain himself from nipping at her soft skin.
