Extra: Yandere Milfs Obsessed with me!-Chapter 51: The Journey to the Viscountcy of Karlton

Kaiser’s Point of View

The steam car progressed slowly on the paved road, its engine producing a regular humming and its wheels transmitting slight vibrations to the padded cabin.

Through the window, I watched the landscape pass by, a succession of fields and groves marking the approach to the territory of the Viscountcy of Karlton. We were only a day away from our destination, and so far, every detail of the journey had gone according to plan.

Jessica was sitting to my right. She kept her hands neatly placed on her knees, but an almost imperceptible tremor shook the tips of her fingers. She was trying to display a calm she was far from feeling, and this inner tension was clearly readable in her gaze, which constantly sought mine. This emotional dependence made her predictable, and therefore useful.

I deemed it good to remind her of the terms of our arrangement, in a calm and detached voice.

"You provided me with the evidence I need. In exchange, I obtain control of the forest bordering your lands. You become a Paragon, through marriage. It’s a simple transaction. No need to let nervousness overwhelm you."

She nodded, a small tense smile on her lips.

"That’s... that’s all I want. Just to leave this place, for good."

Her voice had a slight quiver, despite her efforts to control it. Her dress was simple, her pale skin and clear eyes giving her an appearance of fragility that perfectly matched her state of mind.

She was seeking a protector, a savior who would free her from the grip of the viscount and his sister, Melissa. This vulnerability made her disconcertingly easy to manipulate. Unfortunately, she fell on me.

I placed my hand on her thigh gently. She startled slightly, inhaling a small gulp of air.

"Calm down," I repeated. "Everything will go as planned."

Her gaze sought mine, like that of a child seeking comfort. I tilted my head and placed a light kiss on her lips.

"Mmmh..."

A small moan came from the back of her throat. She responded to the kiss without the slightest restraint, her lips pressing against mine eagerly.

She pressed herself against me, one of her hands timidly placing itself on my chest. Her breathing quickened. I let her do it, knowing that this form of superficial intimacy reinforced her docility.

It seems I’m really becoming an asshole... What wouldn’t a human do to survive? Not that I’m complaining about this situation.

"Haa..."

Her breathing accelerated, becoming a small audible pant each time our lips separated. I slid a hand between her thighs, the other moving up her back to hold her against me. She arched under my touch, a shiver running through her slender body.

"Ah... Kaiser..."

I let my fingers trace a path along her sensitive skin, reaching her panties. She shivered again.

"Mmmmh..."

Between two kisses, she murmured against my mouth, her voice charged with old resentment and the short breath of excitement:

"My sister... haa... Melissa... She never... had the slightest respect for me. She never stopped telling me... mmh... that I was unworthy of the Karlton name." Her hand clenched on my pectoral. "But when I become your wife... ah... she will have to acknowledge her mistake. She will have to look at me differently."

I let out a slight smile, my fingers digging a bit more into her buttocks.

"She will understand, indeed," I said with a chuckle.

"Provided that you continue to prove useful. That you remain as... cooperative."

"Hmmm..." she moaned.

This idiot seemed to interpret these words as the tenderest mark of affection. She nestled completely against me, her forehead seeking the warmth of my neck. Her hot and rapid breath burned my skin.

"Oh... haaan..."

A long trembling sigh escaped her lips when she rested her head against my shoulder, her body completely relaxing, defeated by fatigue and sensations.

"I feel safe with you... Kaiser..."

She let herself be lulled by the rhythm of the journey and the repetitive movement of my hand, which was now drawing slow circles on her buttocks.

...

The journey continued without incident. The sky gradually darkened as we entered the Karlton lands. The car finally turned into an alley lined with lanterns, leading to an estate whose outer walls were adorned with white stones.

Behind a large wrought-iron gate, one could glimpse a carefully maintained garden. The whole lacked the splendor of the Paragon properties but exuded a certain provincial elegance that the viscount must have been very satisfied with.

Guards advanced to welcome the vehicle. Barely had I set foot on the ground when Viscount Karlton himself appeared, dressed in a red coat and sporting an oversized smile that rang false.

"What an honor to receive you, Lord Paragon!" he exclaimed with forced enthusiasm. "I suppose this visit concerns a good alliance?"

I deliberately let a silence settle, the time to observe his eagerness, before giving him a smile of pure convenience.

"We will have all the time to discuss these matters tomorrow. I prefer to handle important affairs the day after a good night’s rest."

He nodded with a promptness that betrayed his impatience. I could see in his eyes the certainty that his status was going to rise thanks to this alliance.

’He seems to understand something wrong, but oh well. I can’t be bothered to correct him.’

"Of course, of course! You must be tired. Your apartments are ready. We will discuss all this tomorrow morning, at breakfast."

A simple nod from me was enough to end the exchange. ’Jessica trusted me completely. I didn’t even really need to think about manipulative tactics or anything. Just taking advantage of her naivety and that was it.’

"That suits me perfectly."

As I headed toward the guest corridor, guided by a servant, I felt Jessica’s gaze weighing on my back. She remained silent. She believed firmly that I was her savior. All the better for me.

I entered the bedroom assigned to me, then closed the door behind me.
