Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Evangeline! Are you feeling hot? Your face is so red!!" 

"..." was he really asking that to her! Did he not know where his fingers were ending? Hooligan! hoodlum! who would believe that he was a man of honor. 

She muttered a few words under his breath as she tried to muster a smile on her face but it rather looked forced yet he enjoyed the way she was glaring at him. Had he turned into a macho after spending time with her.

"The room is too hot. Once I am done with your dressing then I will open a few windows, my lord! Hehehe!" "phew!" she finally took a deep breath of relief when they reached the sofa and he let go of her body.

But then her eyes widened when she finally understood what he was talking about just a few minutes ago. He had already taken out the sharad that had pierced his skin but the wound was still there.

The piece of shard had torn the pants and his fair skin was peeking to her through the hole. His face that was finally turned normal heated again and his face turned redder than before.

She felt like blood would drip from it any moment.

"Shall I take out my pants for you then!?" Once again his seductive voice broke her spell but his words only made her flustered further, her face flushed.

"..." she choked so badly that she did not know how to reply to this question. Her heart palpitated in her chest as she imagined the man sitting there only in his shirt.

Even the imagination was enough to melt her on the floor and give her a nosebleed.

"That.. that would not be needed!" she sat abruptly and held his thighs as if she was afraid that he would do so without even waiting for her reply. But when she realized where her hands were holding him, she immediately let go of his thighs. 

"Didn't you say that you would help me in getting bandaged?" he raised a brow as he enjoyed his flustered look. But he kept his expressions pale and weak, even his voice was raspy as if he was suffering from too much pain.

She did not have the courage to tell him that she could not help him since the wound was at an inappropriate place. In the end, the worry took over his embarrassment!

"I mean! The pants are already torn from there. It would be enough to clean the wound and I will bandage the whole area so that even the torn part of the pants would be hidden.

"He wanted to tell her that it was not needed. Just used some cotton and disinfectant the wound but when he looked at her worried face, an indescribable happiness filled his heart and before he could think about it, he had already nodded his head.

"Phew!" taking a deep breath of relief, she sat beside him. Watching only a part of his body was making her feel sinful! Her heart would have brusted if he would have taken out his pants.

She took out the antiseptic and cleaned the wound and made sure there was no part of the glass remaining in his body. She was glad that blood had already stopped and dried or else he would have turned paler and would have felt weakness. Yet the whole pants was wet showing how much blood he had already lost!

She tried her best to stay calm, but her eyes were moving instinctively towards his pants that had stained red! Once she had cleaned the whole wound and applied antiseptic she looked at him to see if there was any sign of pain or fatigue? Once sure that he was fine, she wrapped his whole thigh with the cotton cloth she had brought!

The dotted print clothes were looking rather strange on his black pants and for a second he was stunned at the choice of cloth.

"You want me to move like this?" he could not believe that she was asking him to walk like a fool in the ministry where his father holds the highest position. 

"Well, it is still better than walking with torn pants!" she shrugged her shoulders as she gave him a look indicating that "you do not have a choice but to listen to me since your clothes were torn and damaged anyway!"

"Do you think I can not ask for another set of clothes?" if it would have been his training ground, he would have a few pieces of clothing, but since he was in the office of his father, he did not not have spare clothes available but that did not mean he could not ask for them. 

How could she have the audacity to make fun of him with this kind of cloth?

"Stop being so fussy! It is a matter of a day. It would take more than half a day for the carriage to go and return from the palace! Not to forget there are hardly any staff that have the courage to touch your closet and bring clothes for you!" her voice was nonchalant that his eyes narrowed on his face.

Why did he feel that he would rather go crazy before winning her heart!?

"Do not think much about it. Rather concentrate on the file you are here for! If we are done early then we can leave for the palace early and you can have a proper rest there!" she added as she walked towards the office desk without waiting for his reply and picked up the file he was working on.

With a smile she walked back towards him and forwarded the file. Ignoring the stunned reactions on his face, she passed a bright smile to him as she chirped, 

"Work from here only so that your legs can be kept in a more comfortable position! Or else the pain would increase and I have to take you to the physician for medicine!"
