Chapter 1
私はベッドで眠っていると、急に隣の主寝室から、かなり大きな物音が聞こえてきた。
すぐに身を起こし、裸足のまま、そっとドアを開け、頭を出して耳を澄ませてみた。
間違いない、その音は確かに主寝室から漏れ出ていた。
最初はキシキシという音で、誰かがベッドを揺らしているようだった。その後はベッドヘッドが壁に当たって出すドンドンという音が続いた。
つま先立ちで近づき、ドアの隙間に耳を当ててみると、兄が荒い息を吐きながら、絶え間なく「アウアウ」という声を上げているのが聞こえた。
同時に、義姉も非常にリズミカルな吐息を漏らしていた。
げ、マジかよ!
頭の中がガンと鳴り、丹田からの気が一気に上へと昇り、全身に鳥肌が立ち、体が異常に硬直してしまった。
しばらくすると、ベッドヘッドが壁を激しく叩く音が数回した後、部屋の中は突然静まり返り、針が落ちる音さえ聞こえそうな静けさになった。
ドアの外にいる私は、自分の心臓のドキドキという音まで聞こえるほどだった。
「もう終わり?」中から突然、義姉の物足りなさそうな声が聞こえてきた。
「ああ」
「大虎、あなた一体どうしたの?こんな三下五除二で済ませるなんて、このままじゃ私たち一生子供なんて無理ね!」
「小玉、いつも子供の話を持ち出すのはやめてくれないか、そんなこと言われると心理的プレッシャーがかかるんだよ!」
「はっ、つまり自分が役立たずなのに私のせいだって言うの?警告しておくわよ、あなたがパパになれないからって、私がママになれないわけじゃない。体調を整えないなら、浮気されても文句言えないわよ!」
そう言うと、温如玉は奥のバスルームへ向かったようで、しばらくするとシャワーの音が聞こえてきた。
急いで部屋に戻り、ベッドに横になっても心臓はまだドキドキしていた。
義姉の温如玉はあんなに豊満で色気があるのに、兄の賈大虎はあの線の細い体つきじゃ彼女の相手になるわけがない。もし私が代わりに...
そこまで考えて、思わず自分の頬を強く叩いた。こんな考えは不埒だし、下劣すぎる。
確かに私と賈大虎は血の繋がった兄弟ではなく、同じ村の同姓で、十八代さかのぼってやっと共通の先祖がいるだけだ。
だが彼は長年私に良くしてくれた。彼の助けがなければ、この大学に合格することもできなかったし、今も彼の家に住まわせてもらっている。
彼がその方面で不調なのは彼の問題だが、どんな理由があっても彼の妻・温如玉にそんな気持ちを抱くべきではない!
耳元には温如玉のさっきの吐息が響き続け、頭の中は彼女の色気ある豊満な姿でいっぱいになった。
そうすべきでないと分かっていながらも、温如玉を思い浮かべながら自分で行為に及んでしまった。
数回の動きで、体中に電流が走り、爆発するような感覚が全身をリラックスさせた。
今回はあまりにも早くて、ティッシュの準備もできず、ショートパンツを直接汚してしまった。
急いでベッドから出て、ショートパンツを替え、汚れたものをベッドの脇に置いた。まるで本当に女性と一夜を過ごしたかのような満足感で、心地よく、甘い気分でベッドに倒れ込み、すぐに深い眠りに落ちた。
軍事訓練がまだ始まっていなかったため、八時まで寝続け、温如玉に起こされて朝食を食べることになった。
起き上がって見ると、昨夜ベッドの脇に置いたショートパンツが見当たらない。
窓際に行くと、そのショートパンツはすでに洗濯され、バルコニーの物干し竿にかけられていた。
うわっ、やばい!
これで終わりだ。どうやって温如玉と顔を合わせればいいんだ?
賈大虎は朝早くに出かけてしまい、温如玉は私と一緒に朝食を食べるのを待っていた。
私は肉まんを食べ、牛乳を飲むことに集中し、一度も顔を上げて彼女を見ることができなかった。
「二虎、これからは着替えた服やズボンは部屋に放置せず、直接下の洗面所の洗濯かごに入れなさいね」
顔が真っ赤になり、恥ずかしさで「うん」と小さく返事をした。
温如玉は私のこの様子を見て、プッと笑い声を漏らした。
「どうしたの、二虎、高校の時、先生たちは生理衛生について教えなかったの?」
彼女が何を言っているのか分からず、驚いて一瞬彼女を見上げたが、すぐにまた俯いた。
「教わってないみたいね。じゃあ、女性が毎月生理があることは知ってる?」
顔を真っ赤にしたまま、私は黙っていた。
「二虎、もう大人なんだから、男女の生理的なことについても少しは理解しておくべきよ。子供みたいに、そういう話を聞くだけで顔を赤らめないの」
それは誰との話かによるでしょ?
友達同士なら気にしないけど、問題は彼女だ。顔が赤くならない方がおかしい。
彼女がそういうことは普通のことだと前置きしてくれたにもかかわらず、私はまだ居心地が悪く、穴があったら入りたいくらいだった。
「二虎、それはごく自然なことだけど...」
「ブッ!」
牛乳にむせそうになり、口から噴き出して、テーブル中に飛び散らせてしまった。
「ごめん!ごめん!」
恥ずかしさで立ち上がり、雑巾を探そうとした時、温如玉がテーブルの上の布を手に取った。
「ほら二虎、この牛乳みたいなものよ。どれだけ飲んでも無駄じゃないけど、テーブルに吹きかければ、もったいないでしょう!」
私は目をパチクリさせながら彼女を見つめ、すぐには理解できなかった。
そんな時、玄関から突然、夜鶯のような女性の声が聞こえてきた。「温先生、いらっしゃいますか?」
その声はとても美しく、顔を見なくても、間違いなくインスタ映えするような美人だとわかった。
その女性の呼び声を聞いて、急いで立ち上がり、玄関のドアを開けた。
うわ、この女性、めちゃくちゃ美しい!
肩にかかる艶やかな髪は風になびき、完璧な卵型の顔に、細くて高い鼻筋、そして炎のように赤い唇。彼女の魔性的なスタイルを見なくても、私が今まで見てきたどんなインスタグラマーをも凌駕する、まさに国を傾ける美女だった。
美女は私を見てもひと瞬驚き、まばたきを二回して、からかうように言った。「イケメン君、私、間違えてないよね?」

Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
