I Accidentally Slept With My Future Brother In Law Chapter 03

Drunk, my steps were unsteady and my body floated.

I couldn’t remember much after that.

Only that Rowan’s chamber was dim, candlelight flickering.

He was completely drunk, lying motionless on the bed.

I reached to unbutton his tunic.

The moment my fingers touched the fabric, he let out a low groan and suddenly rolled over, trapping me beneath him.

I’d thought a twenty-eight-year-old unmarried man would lack stamina and wouldn’t last long.

I was wrong.

He looked slim, but his strength was immense.

He was as energetic as a young knight.

After a night of tangled passion, the solid oak bed collapsed completely.

…

When I woke again, sunlight streamed through the windows.

My whole body ached.

But I was in an excellent mood.

I’d expected a cold, distant nobleman.

Turned out he was anything but abstinent—his body was incredibly strong.

Truly cold in public, passionate in private.

I liked it.

Beautiful face, amazing body.

The test was a complete success.

I rolled over and stared at the sleeping face beside me.

Long, thick lashes, a straight nose, lips pressed lightly, cheeks flushed…

So handsome…

Handsome, yes.

But something was wrong!

This wasn’t Rowan—it was his younger brother! Elian!

I ripped back the covers in shock.

His chest was covered in marks, red and purple hickeys scattered across his skin, a clear bite mark on his shoulder.

My brain was about to explode.

I’d slept with my future brother-in-law!?

The air went dead silent.

Elian’s ears turned red. He fumbled to pull the covers over himself.

His voice was hoarse.

“…Sister-in-law?”

That one word made my heart race.

Chaos flooded my mind.

How had I walked into the wrong room last night?

And who had Diana been with?

Never mind. This wasn’t the time to think about that.

I took a deep breath, sat up, and began picking up my clothes from the floor.

“What happened last night was an accident.”

I pulled out a pouch of gold coins and pressed it to his chest.

“Can you not tell your brother about this?”

Elian looked down at the pouch, then up at me, his eyes glistening with quiet hurt, his expression lonely.

“Sister-in-law, you’re dismissing me with a pouch of gold?”

“What do you expect? You were clumsy. You think I owe you some huge sum? Dream on.”

He had good stamina, but he was like a wild bull, only charging forward.

My body still hurt.

He stared at the coins, his lashes trembling.

When he looked up again, his eyes were red.

“Sister-in-law, what am I to you?”

I gritted my teeth.

“Just bad luck.”

He hugged the covers, looking utterly miserable.

“Sister-in-law, my body hurts…”

I glanced at the marks covering him and felt guilty.

“Sorry, I went too far last night.”

I pulled out another pouch of gold and handed it to him.

But he pressed a hand to his forehead, his voice muffled.

“Sister-in-law, my head hurts…”

My head hurt too! I hurt worse than you!

I noticed his unusually flushed face and touched his forehead.

It burned hot. Oh my god, it was scorching.

“You have a fever!”

He blinked at me with watery eyes, curling up obediently under the covers.

“What should I do, sister-in-law?”

I took a deep breath. “I’ll go get the physician.”

I slipped quietly out of the chamber and sent for the palace physician.

The old doctor checked his pulse, then shook his head and sighed.

“You young people don’t know your limits.”

“This young lord has only just come of age. He needs proper rest.”

Elian huddled under the covers, looking bashful.

“Sister-in-law, I’m too embarrassed to show my face…”

I: “……”

I gritted my teeth and pulled out another pouch of gold.

“Please keep this confidential, sir.”

“You don’t want your brother to find out, do you?”

Elian fell silent.

“Sister-in-law,” he whispered, “do you want me to hide this from now on?”

My eyes nearly popped out of my head.

“From now on”?
