Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"I was just bullying you the way you have bullied me!" he replied as he moved away and sat on the other side of the sofa. Not because she pushed him away, but he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if this continued. He had lost all his sanity just a while ago 

He felt like he was a pervert and needed to calm his body or else he would either go crazy or die with blue balls!

Her chest was still heaving up and down in the regular motion as if she was underwater for a long time and did not have taken breaths. She felt like she would die due to the intensity.

But it sobered her mind a bit and brought a bit of her rationality back.

He turned to look at her when he felt that the haze of her eyes had cleared a bit.

"I think we have played enough games. We should sleep now!" she held her head that was still spinning and could feel that her senses were not working properly. 

But she could feel the danger that was coming from this man! He was sitting there like a hungry beast. It would be best that she would keep some distance with him or nobody would know where she had disappeared. With that thought, she curled herself into the sofa.

"Did you know what just happened?" He could not wait for the morning. What are the chances that her feelings would change or he would not be able to find another good chance like this one.

"Yes! I drained all my energy! That is why I want to sleep now! Good night!" she spoke in a haste as she turned her head to the other side to stay away from his piercing eyes.

"...." how could she even think about sleeping at this crucial point! Was she really a pig that knew nothing but sleeping and eating! Who would believe that she had lived all her life as a commoner then!

"Evangeline! Are you really sleeping?" he asked in a frustrated voice. He wanted to beat her and force her to stay awake. But he did not want to be tagged as a cruel and cold hearted person again.

He wanted to have brownie points from her.

"Yep! I am already asleep. I am even dreaming of beating a beast who had bullied me!" came her voice without any hesitation.

"..." great! So now she was even beating him without hesitation. Great!

"Evangeline! I hope you remembered what you said in the morning!" he shouted as he sat at the other side waiting for her to wake up. But she just nodded her head and soon the sound of her snores filled the room!

"Snoring like that! You are truly a pig!" he bellowed.

"How do you know that pigs snore like that. Perhaps you have lived all your life with the pigs or you were the pig in your past life!" came the quick retort of the girl who was sleeping just a minute ago and even had started snoring.

"Since you are so sleepy then I am too. But there is only one sofa so we have to share it!" he muttered as he stood up from the single seater sofa and loomed over her lying figure.

"Woosh" with the speed of lightning she sat up again and even rubbed her eyes.

"Who is sleepy, I am not sleepy at all. Since we have time we are going to talk all night!" she nodded her head and then looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Don't tell me that even as a knight you are not able to stay awake for a night?" not in the world was she going to have him on her lips again.

Only god knows what he would do when they would share the sofa! Where did that gentleman Leo go who had not even touched her once when she was in his room all night after being drugged.

"Why? Were you not sleepy just a while ago?" He raised a brow as he looked down at her but she shook her head without any hesitation.

"So, you were lying to me?" his voice turned grave as he narrowed her eyes at her sexy figure. Her face was still red even when her eyes were a bit clear. She was still taking some time to respond, not like other times when she was always ready with quick retorts.

"No! I was just joking! Didn't lord know how to be humorous!?" she was with an awkward smile on her face as she hoped that he would let the matter go.

"Is that so?" he asked and she nodded her head like a rattle drum and an evil smile formed on his lips.

The dim lighting on the room was already giving his sharp features a dark look and with that smirk, Evan was sure he was a demon that had come to take her soul.

"Then you must have called me a pig and beast in the joke too?" he tilted his head as he looked at her. His hovering figure over her was only making her feel like she was a little kid that was getting scolded by an adult for her mistakes and she nodded her head again without hesitation.

"Then all that you said, everything was a joke, nothing was said seriously?" he asked again as he rubbed his chin as if he was thinking how much were her words trustable!

"Yes yes, I was only joking! I was not serious at all!" i would agree on anything you would say except sharing the bed with you' the muttered under her breath but her smile only grew wider when he heard her reply.

"Then I am sure you were not serious at all when you denied me to kiss you. You must have wanted another kiss. So shall I give you one now?"

":......".

[Hello, I want to thank all the readers who have supported me this far despite the mistakes I made in the journey. But there are few who find the starting chapters too bad because of spelling and grammar mistakes. I wanted to say that English is my second language and I did not have enough money to hire a professional editor.

I am trying to save for a laptop first so that I can write well. Therefore, I have an offer.. If any of you can help me in editing the first 50 chapters of the book, I will pay him/her 1000 coins code. I hope to get a reply soon, thank you!]
