If I Disobey the Duke

Mistake (3)

Scarlet hexagonal wall lamps brightened the gray-and-white hallway with no windows.

Vlad was looking down at Lily with his arms crossed. The light blazed like a halo behind his back.

It made her instantly shameful

The dark facial features nestled under the neatly brushed black hair seemed to swallow up all the surrounding shadows, his upturned eyes strangely sensual. He was looking down at her, so his tall body looked even more majestic.

The combination of his decorative cloak and the casual pose against the wall made him look even more magnificent.

Even black uniforms and boots accentuated his sharp appearance. He was so clean that she felt she was even more disgusting.

Lily’s elegant dress had become horribly dusty.

Heat rose from below her neck.

Why the hell is the moaning still not over? How long are you going to do it?

“I mean, I didn’t see it on purpose. It wasn’t fun, it was just a coincidence, rather than a hobby…”

The more I talk, the weirder it gets…?

Lily, whose face became like an apple, lowered her head in despair.

Ah, very.

She collapsed.

Someone please hit me in the head…

His large hand suddenly entered her field of vision.

“Get up. The floor is dirty.”

Lily squeezed his hand and got up in a frenzy and stepped on the hem of her dress.

“Ah!”

Her body tilted forward and she buried her forehead against his wide chest.

Why do mistakes always attract other mistakes like a magnet?

Meanwhile, his scent was still making her react.

What should I do? Come on, come to your senses!

Lily was embarrassed and tried to push him away, and Vlad stretched his arms toward her side.

He wrapped his arms around Lily’s waist.

“Oh, Vlad. Excuse me….”

There was nowhere to put her hands. It was either hug him by the waist, or place them on his arms or chest. There were only two options.

He murmured appeasingly, “Calm down. You might fall again.”

Lily raised her arms in front of his chest and clenched her fists awkwardly.

It was as if he had built a wall between him and her.

Vlad raised one of his eyebrows slightly as if he wasn’t happy. “Didn’t I tell you not to get down on your knees no matter what?”

“…”

…Are you kidding me about this?

Lily, who had surpassed the limit of embarrassment, raised her head. And she stiffened.

It was too close. His face.

Wherever she looked, he was there.

Eyes like an exquisite painting, lips with cynical beauty. Yes, he was very close.

Ah, if he lowered his head a little, their lips would touch immediately.

He was looking down at her with a face that was absolutely, definitely not ugly. “Be bold. Lily. No need to hide and see. I’ll invite them to dinner, so let’s have dinner…”

Her green eyes, which had been mesmerized by the calm tone, gradually grew rounder. “N-no, absolutely not!” Lily let out a shrill scream and covered his mouth involuntarily.

As the soft skin pressed against her fingers, she removed her hand in surprise again.

He frowned at her expression. “If the thrill of hiding is fun, you hide again then. Or is it a matter of location?”

“It’s not…!”

Lily really wanted to cry.

One side of his lips twitched and eventually curled up.

She was so red.

He laughed out loud. His sharp eyes were crescent moons.

Lily’s lips slowly gaped.

Don’t tell me…

“You just made fun of me… right?”

“No.”

Suspicion entered Lily’s eyes.

Vlad took off his cape. “I am serious. If you want, you can gather all the workers in the estate and have them have an orgy. You have…”

“S-stop!”

Vlad immediately shut his mouth, but it seemed that he had no intention of hiding his smile.

Lily was dizzy from shame.

He was playing with her.

She bit her lower lip and glared at him sharply.

Vlad’s eyes fluttered. His heart began to race at the pale expression on her face.

Looking at it that way…

He tightened the arm around Lily’s waist. Their lower bodies were snug. Her back stiffened from tension.

His stomach was tickled at the constantly changing expression on her face. He wanted to do something.

Vlad tilted his head and lowered slightly. Lily closed her eyes as his lips were about to approach.

But it was only his breath that touched her.

He deepened his voice and whispered softly against her lips, “Anyway. Isn’t it true that you enjoyed watching it?”

His breath on her lips was as sweet as fine wine.

A shiver shot up her spine.

Lily leaned back, trying to hide her strange nervousness. “I am not that kind… of a woman.”

“What kind of woman is that?”

She turned her head away from him and looked into the quiet hallway. “The one who lusts for flesh… I…”

“Hmm.” Vlad let out a small snort. “That reaction is just like you but…”  A low, seductive voice caressed her ear. “It might not be a lie you want to tell, Lily.”
