Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"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?"

":......".

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! All you can think is about kissing! Do you have anything else in mind? Huh?" had he not kissed her already twice. Why was he still talking about kissing! 

Why had she never realized that he was such a pervert!

"Hooligan!" she added when he did not reply to her.

"No!" he replied with a blank face and she finally took a breath of relief.

"I not only wanted to kiss you! But I want to do much more with you.

I want to bite those lips like you have bit me too! I want to have the taste of you. I want to leave a few marks on your fair and blemish-free neck and…"

"Hooligan! How can you talk about all this with a straight face!?" she could not believe that he.. Her face turned so red as if blood could drip out of it any moment. 

If only.. If possible she would have run away never to come back again.

Her head was paining so much that the whole room started to spin and her eyes had turned heavy but she could not sleep. For she was afraid of what he would do if she did, but her droopy eyes would not listen to her for long.

"Evangeline! I am still waiting for your reply!" He had already told her what he wanted. Now it was her wish, whether she wanted to accept it or reject it.

All he could do was wait and hope that she would choose him.

The girl tried to open her eyes and stared at him. Trying her best to force her mind to think again, she tried to recall what he had asked but no matter how much she thought she was not able to remember anything.

She leaned on the man that was sitting beside him as her head started to hurt when she could not find the answer to his question.

Let her close her eyes for a minute and think about what she wanted to say! 

Leo who had closed his eyes and eagerly waiting for her reply, felt her touch and opened his eyes again.

He lowered his head and looked at her soft body squishing to his chest tightly. An array of emotions started to swirl in his eyes as he looked at her with something troubling in his throat.

If she was still hugging him.. It only meant that she had accepted him. Right? 

His mind started to fill with only the thought of they were a couple now.

He did not know how to explain to her how joyous he was with that though.

"Evan, did that mean that I can kiss you now?" he asked in a gentle voice but she did not reply.

"Evan..!" He called her again but once again only silence mocked him and he frowned.

"Evan! Do not tell me that I have made you speechless that you are not able to speak since I know that you are not shy!" he repeated but there was not only a movement let alone be a word.

"Evan! Are you really shy?" He placed his hands on her shoulders and nudged her softly.

She had just commented that he was too harsh and rude with no gentlemanly manners at all. But no matter how he tried, the girl still did not reply at all.

When the last thread of patience borke too, he jerked her only to hear the sound of..

"If this is another act, Evan! Then I will really kill you this time!" he announced as he glared at the girl whose eyes were closed and lips were parted.

The sound of soft snores could be heard from her mouth and his eyes narrowed on her face!

"Evangeline!" this girl! She really had the audacity to sleep when he had proposed to her! Did she not want to live anymore?

He let go of her and closed his eyes as he pinched the space between his eyes hard to maintain his sanity. This was the first time in his life that he had proposed to a girl and not even did she sleep but she even hugged him and snored.

But before he could leave his sanity and strangle her to death, she moved and hugged his thigh, 

"Ha! Why are you still clinging to me! Go to those sunshine who smile for you!

Are you not afraid that you will be frozen to death?" He glared at the girl as he tried to push her away before he would lose all his control but she was not ready to let go. She hugged him tighter and even nuzzled her face on his abdomen as she muttered under her breath, 

"If only you had been a little gentle and learned to smile. You could have got any girl!" 

"Including you!" he asked as he raised a brow. He knew that she was talking in her sleep and there might be a chance that she would not remember what she was saying but he still wanted to take the chance,

He wanted to know what was in her mind. It was said that the unconscious mind always speaks the truth. The effect of wine and half sleep would only force her to spill truth, 

"Mmm, no! I am an exclusive one! I will not be included in the list.. But!" the feeling of flying high and then falling from there breaking all his limbs filled his heart when he heard no from her but.. But that word stopped his breathing and he looked at her with so much intensity.

"But what?"

"But I would choose you if you would get rid of all the flies around you!"
