If I Disobey the Duke - Chapter 141
Chapter 141 Trial (4)
After he folded his handkerchief neatly and placed it on the side table, he approached her.
Lily raised her head at the sound of his footsteps. “When did you wake up? What have you been busy with since morning… Ah!”
She, who had thought he was going to sit in her chair across from her dining table, was surprised that he crept over and grabbed the armrest of her chair.
As if it was a natural procedure, their lips immediately overlapped. Her back was flush against the back of the chair. His tongue slid softly between her lips. She grabbed his shirt collar as if clinging to him, startled.
A kiss as soft as a morning greeting on a lazy spring day. He indulged in her tongue. A soft, high-pitched squeal tickled his ears.
Pausing her breath, every moment he moved away for a moment, a gasp burst out.
He swallowed her moans and bit her soft lower lip slightly.
The inside of her thighs tightened. In addition…
Fear came first. If they were doing it again, she really was going to die. His lips parted as if reading her thoughts.
His lips brushed away. His bittersweet breath tickled her sensitive skin.
As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a pair of shimmering red eyes. In an instant, her face lit up.
Were his eyes open from the beginning?
“I found something great in the office.”
She looked up at him as Lily calmed her breathing. There was a strange playfulness in his eyes.
He straightened and put his hand in his cloak pocket.
The moment she realized what the object was on his fingertips, Lily’s mouth fell open.
“Ah, t-that…!” She hurriedly reached out, but his arm went straight upwards first.
With his back straight, he slowly unfolded the letter that had been wrinkled once.
“I dreamed of you. Vlad.”
“Ah…!”
“When will you be back?”
“W-wait a minute!”
While he was leaving the castle, it was a letter that had not been written properly and was thrown away. She thought she had thrown it away…
Lily couldn’t even scream. He gently pressed down on her shoulder as he was about to get up. Like a powerless doll, she slumped back into her chair.
“G-give it back, please…”
“Give it back? It’s mine in the first place, so why should I do that?” Vlad, who was about to read the next sentence, closed his mouth.
Her eyes were so glazed over by her blushing that she seemed to be about to burst into tears.
The sight stimulated a strange sadism. He also had to resist the urge to bite her cheek that had bee like a burning apple.
He’d been bothering her quite a bit these days.
Vlad folded the letter in half and put it back in his inner pocket. “How many pages have you written? Looking at it, I don’t think it’s just one or two.”
Lily, who was rubbing her lower lip, lowered her head. She looked like she was going to die of embarrassment. She wanted to hide right away, even under the tablecloth. “Nope, that’s all.”
“Hmm.” With an unconvinced sound, he grabbed the armrest of her chair where Lily was sitting and pulled it gently. Lily was dragged along with her wooden chair.
Sitting across the table, she looked up at him, her neck bent upward. He had a mischievous look in his eyes that could not be hidden. An ominous energy ran down her spine.
Lily looked at the large man in front of her. He was a truly fearsome man. Noticing her wandering green eyes, he let out roaring laughter.
“You have to eat your meal, wife.”
She cast a pitiful gaze at her table. “You don’t have to waste your time on me. You must be busy…”
“I’m here to do the most important thing anyway.”
Lily looked up at him again at the unknown answer. She was the only one in the bedroom.
Coming here to do something important…?
“If it’s about my brother… Are you here for that?”
He opened his mouth to answer something, then shut it again. He was silent for a moment, his eyes narrowing as if he was choosing a horse. “No.”
As Lily was about to ask something, he slightly stretched his arm behind his back.
She couldn’t see it properly, but he grabbed a round plate. When he opened the tin lid, the first thing that hit her was the smell of fresh fruit.
It was filled with bright red strawberries sprinkled with condensed milk.
“I came here to eat. With you.”
“Eat…” Lily muttered as she looked at the strawberry. Sticky condensed milk sprinkled on bright red fruits. It was just a dessert, but it felt strange.
Because of Talin. No, the more fundamental problem was… Was it her husband holding a plate of strawberries? Her mouth dried.
He took a strawberry with a fork. The condensed milk that ran down the one dripped onto the other strawberries.
Vlad muttered a mand, “Your mouth. Open up.”
Lily looked into his eyes and opened her mouth.
The sweetness rushed up her tongue.
