Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

When he sighed and shook his head, "it is all because of you. You did not say yes when I asked you should we stop right there and look how long we have been doing it that you can not even walk straight!"

"...." gasps could be heard in the passage full of people while her face turned redder than blood. 

All she wanted was to dig a hole and bury him in it for eternity for his rash speaking! What did he even mean that she could not walk because of what they were doing for hours. 

Even when she was naive, she knew that it did not mean good and the widened and dark eyes full of jealousy of the girls were confirming it.

"Now do not be shy, we are getting late for our home!" His voice was so gentle and his face was full of a pampering look. 

The men were so shocked that they choked on their own saliva  when they saw him rubbing her head with the lovesick look on his face.

But when he held her hand and then turned to look at them, his face was cold again as if the warmth was never there!

From the passage to the carriage, Evan crossed the journey in a trance looking at his soulful gaze that was so heated that she could feel the burnt.

If it was not enough, the gazes of the woman full of hatred and jealousy was burning her too.

As they sat in the carriage, she finally raised her head and glared at the man who was sitting there nonchalantly!

"What was that?" she hollered while he only raised his head.

He scanned at the surroundings and could not see any knight or the carriage following them.

"What are you talking about?" rule of getting shameless, never accept your mistakes or your wife would point out that till you die!

"You.. What did you even mean by that? You made everyone misunderstand that we were getting intimate in the room!" she spoke with her head lowered as her cheeks started to burn again.

When did she start to stammer! She cussed herself for being shy against him. If it continued he would tease her to no end!

A sly look filled his eyes as a nefarious smile formed on his face.

"Are we not getting intimate there?" the way he said those words in an ambiguous tone even she was doubtful, have they really done it!

She didn't know how to reply to them. In the end, she kept staring at him for long without any prepper reply in her mind that only widened the smile on his face.

Only then did she realized that she was tricked! He had tricked her!

"I know what you did there? Do not think that I will fall for your tricks. Why did you do that?" she pointed at her chest with a resolute look as if she didn't let the matter go unless he would tell the truth.

"So that my competition would end." he shrugged nonchalantly as if that was the obvious thing to do.

"........" competition? Question marks were dancing on her whole face as she stared at him for a long time.

"Those people spread the words quickly and the rumor that we are not in a serious relationship and that our engagement would soon end! 

That way no men would look at you with desire or loving gaze! I will monopolize you completely!" though her eyes were dark and overbearing, her heart skipped a beat at his domination.

She wanted to tell him that no one was ever interested in her, but his green side was making her heart warm.

"Mmm, then shouldn't I issue a warning too for the girls flocking over you?" she teased as she knew that the empire and society never had equal rules for the man and woman.

Almost every higher noble has many love interests and concubines that would be found in different towns too.

A few were shameless enough to bring the concubine home too and expect that both wives live cordially like sisters! Not to forget that epic case of Eli! She still felt bad for her!

"Hmm, shall i announce that i only belong to you?" He stood up from his seat and sat beside her abruptly.

Holding her hands, he pulled her towards him in a way that her face ended up in the crook of his neck and her body ended up in his lap.

"But what if they did not take it seriously. You know you should show them by your actions that i belong to only you!" he suggested as his hands started to linger on her back again.

No matter how many times he had already touched her. Her breath still hitched every time he did so.

Her breathing turned uneven when she felt his touch all over her body and stared deep into those mesmerizing eyes.

He was sure that she was in a trance again. He loved how her body started to react to his every touch that she turned into an innocent bunny he could devour anytime.

If he had known that, he would have lured her into the honey trap a long ago, instead of trying to be a warm and gentle person.

"I have a very good idea to tell the whole world that you are the only one for me!" he continued to whisper in his seductive voice when she finally blinked.

"And what is that?" her words came out uneven in a very low voice while her eyes started to turn hazy just by looking at him when he smirked and pointed at his neck,

"Why don't you mark me here for everyone to see?"

"......."
