Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Are you there?" Eve tried to climb on the tree, her dress was tied around her thighs so that it would not sway further and she would not fall by getting tangled in it.

She had learnt it the hard way, but now she is getting more and more proficient at it!

"Hello! Are you here?" she shouted in a whisper as she looked around afraid that she would be found again.

She took a breath of relief when she found no one around. Her eyes fell on the stars that had already started to fill the sky. She was supposed to be here in the morning, but Eli had kept her busy all day.

She did not get a chance to run away and she did not want to gain the attention of her sister further. So, she worked with full determination but in the back of her mind she was thinking about this place all the time.

"Phew!" Her hard work paid off as she had finally climbed the tree and a triumphant smile formed on her lips but did not stay for long.

When she checked all the branches of the tree and did not find what she was looking for, the smile flattered and a dim look filled her eyes.

Yet she stayed there for a while hoping that magic would happen and the man would come out of the thin air and would complain that he was waiting for a long time.

But alas! Magic only happens in fairy tales. Taking a deep sigh, she finally decided to go back.

She should have known better that she was a fool to even think like that.

Lost in her thoughts, she slowly took her steps down. She was looking so petite and frail with those dim eyes and slim figure as if she would fly away if the breeze would turn any stronger.

"Idiot! Fool! Dumb!" she could not help but curse herself! She even lied to the others for this.. What was she even thinking!?

As the anger and sadness confused her she did not notice that the dress she had tied so strongly had turned loose and stepped on it.

Trying to get free, she tried to pull it with her hands with a bit of irritation, when she lost her balance and fell from the tree.

She was still on the higher branch, so she knew that impact would be too high and she would be lucky if she would only break a few of her bones.

"Aaghhhhh" a shriek escaped her lips as she closed her eyes and prepared her heart for the fall, yet her heart continued to palpitate in her rib cage.

"Damn! Now I am even going to die because of you!" she cussed once again as she could not believe that they would not even be able to find her injured self.

She had come here hiding from all the knights and her family so that no one would know about her small adventure. What if she died there and they even forgot that she even existed.

Strange thoughts started to fill her heart as she tried her best to hold the branches but only scratched her hands that pained her further.

What was she even thinking while climbing the tree! It was not what a girl like her was supposed to do.

"I am sorry, Eli, leo.. Aahhh" just as she thought that the hard ground would touch her back and break her into two, and shouted, nothing happened,

Though she had already touched the ground, it was not hard and rough like she had thought. But it was hard and soft at the same time. And it was warm that made her feel secure.

Too stunned to still open her eyes, she roamed her hands on the ground. A frown formed on her lips when she realized that the ground was not flat as it should be but rather had a shape that looks uneven and strong!

As realization dawned on her, she felt stunned and shocked to even open her eyes. Now the whole world would think that she was a pervert!

No! More than that how would she be able to face the knight she had fallen on! It would have been better if she would have fallen on the ground.

She was so stunned that she forgot that one of her hands was still on his biceps and the other hand was on her back!!

"Are you done checking my body or are you going to spend the whole night touching me at every possible place?" The voice came out throwing gritted teeth and she could feel the pressure in the voice of the man that flinched her.

Her hands moved away from the speed of the lightning and she opened her eyes only to see that the head of the man was kissing the ground while she was laying on his back comfortably.

His hands were holding the ground to maintain the balance of both of their bodies.

Her eyes swept up the biceps that were bulging from his shirt and his strong body where she could see muscles of the man.

Her face turned red when she realized what she was thinking yet she did not feel any regret and continued to feast on the visuals in front of her.

"Are you going to stand up anytime soon or not?" he growled as he tried to turn his head and glare at the girl who should be embarrassed but only met with the cunning eyes of the girl that were looking no less than a fox.

Her lips were stretched into a grin that bewildered him! Why was she so happy! Shouldn't she be feeling embarrassed, 

"Why are you smiling like a fool?" he growled as he could not believe that she was still not standing up.

"Because you are looking so irritated. It felt like I was taking my own sweet revenge from you!"
