Cherreads

Chapter 23 - Chapter 20


In the quiet luxury of the West Wing, Narcissa sat anchored to Reinhardt's lap, her heart racing with a mix of newfound devotion and lingering shyness.

"Remove your upper robe, Cissy," Reinhardt commanded, his silver eyes softening but remaining firm. "I want to see if my wife has any other scars that need my attention."

Narcissa's face burned a deep crimson, but the pull of his authority was absolute. She obeyed, letting the ragged fabric slip away to reveal a body that, despite her ordeal, was breathtaking. Reinhardt's gaze swept over her, noting the "Venelana Gremory" curves—a mature, hourglass figure that Lucius had never deserved to see.

As he reached out to firmly fondle her breasts, Narcissa let out a long, shaky moan, her head falling back against his shoulder.

"Quick gossip, Cissy," Reinhardt whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "What is your bust size?"

"It... it is a J-cup, Darling," she gasped, her hands gripping his arms for support.

"Perfect," Reinhardt replied with a dark, knowing smirk. "They are perfect for... many types of things."

Narcissa's blush intensified; she was an aristocrat, and she knew exactly what "things" a King like Reinhardt was implying.

The Surgeon's Touch

Reinhardt focused his mind, activating the Ope-Ope no Mi. A shimmering, translucent sphere—his "Room"—expanded to fill the space around them. With surgical precision, he traced the jagged scars on her pale skin. With a mere flick of his fingers, the damaged tissue was swapped with fresh, healthy cells.

Narcissa watched in stunned silence as the marks of years of abuse vanished instantly. Her skin became as smooth as ivory silk.

"They're gone..." she whispered, touching her shoulder where a burn mark had been just seconds before.

The Claim

Reinhardt didn't stop at healing. He cupped one of her breasts, fondling it with possessive strength, while he leaned down to suckle the other. He bit down gently, his tongue teasing the peak until Narcissa's body arched. The sensation was so overwhelming, so far beyond anything she had ever felt, that her legs began to tremble. A sudden, warm wave of pleasure crashed through her, and she collapsed against him, her dress becoming soaked as she experienced a release she hadn't known was possible.

Reinhardt moved to her neck, kissing the sensitive skin and leaving a deep, dark purple hickey—a visible brand of his ownership.

"You came just from that, Cissy?" Reinhardt teased, his voice vibrating against her skin. "You're more sensitive than I thought."

"Don't... don't bully me, Rein," she whimpered, hiding her flaming face in the crook of his neck as she hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry, but no," Reinhardt chuckled, patting her back. "I think I like bullying you quite a bit. Now, go. Have a long, hot bath and sleep peacefully. You have a permanent job to start tomorrow, and I need my CEO well-rested."

Narcissa pulled back, a genuine, beautiful smile lighting up her face—a sharp contrast to the hollow shell she had been minutes ago. "As one of your wives, I will do as you say, Darling."

"There," Reinhardt said, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Now you look like a proper human again."

Reinhardt shifted Narcissa on his lap, leaning back as he watched the play of emotions across her face. "Bullying you is quite fun, Cissy," he remarked with a playful glint in his eyes. "Being able to see all these expressions that only I am allowed to see... it's the best form of entertainment I've had in years."

Narcissa pouted, her cheeks puffing out in a way that made her look years younger, though the blush remained. Reinhardt's expression then turned serious. "Tell me, did Evelyn punish you while you were at the Manor?"

"Only when Lucius was there," Narcissa admitted softly. "When he was away, she wouldn't touch me."

"I don't get it," Reinhardt replied, his brow furrowed. "Why the act?"

Narcissa took a deep breath, the secrets of the Malfoy household spilling out. "Draco is not Evelyn's child. He is the son of Evelyn's sister, Lisana Selwyn, who died shortly after childbirth. Evelyn married Lucius in name only. Lucius has a secret... he prefers the company of men over women. Even though Evelyn is cunning, she only wants to survive and protect her sister's son. Draco has no idea."

Reinhardt sat in stunned silence for a moment, processing the web of lies. "So, let me get this straight. Lucius married you but never touched you because of his preferences?" Narcissa nodded.

"And Lisana Selwyn, the former Lady of House Selwyn who died under 'unknown' circumstances... many believe she was married to the present Lord Selwyn," Reinhardt mused.

"Lisana had an affair with Lucius while he was drunk," Narcissa explained. "She had a son with him and died. Her husband didn't want the scandal released to the world, so Evelyn was used as a 'scarecrow'—stepping in to take Lisana's place as the mother and wife to protect the family name."

Reinhardt nodded slowly. "So, from the start, Lucius is gay, and Evelyn... she is a virgin just like you?"

"Yes," Narcissa replied firmly. "She took that position solely to protect Draco."

Reinhardt let out a long, heavy sigh. "The Wizarding World is even more messed up than I thought."

System Insight

[Congratulations, Darling!] the System's voice chimed in his head, sounding impressed. [You've uncovered 10% of the hidden 'World Deviations' of this Harry Potter reality. This isn't the story you remember from the books.]

Reinhardt leaned his head back against the sofa, thinking of Evelyn Malfoy. In his memory, when he had seen her at the Manor, she had a sharp, mysterious edge that reminded him exactly of Mary Sera from Detective Conan.

So, she's a guardian playing a dangerous game, Reinhardt thought. A virgin 'mother' protecting a nephew she claims as a son.
