Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 255 – Make Anyone Drool

If he would come to her again, she would say that it was all his illusion. She had been sleeping on the sofa since the start and did not look at him even once.

With that thought, she slowly moved his moved hands away and took a breath of relief when he did not wake up this time. Creating sufficient distance with him, she took a breath of relief when she only felt pain in her stomach and on her head but not anywhere else.

Damn! What was she even thinking! She shook her head as embarrassment filled her face.

But just when she was about to run for her life, his eyes snapped open and the man sat on the place they were sleeping just a while ago.

His cold eyes were looking at her strangely and the rest of the nerves of her mind circuited too. 

"Ummm.. I just fell from the sofa right now! Just now. Did you sleep on the floor last night, my lord?" she asked in an innocent tone as she tried her best to muster a smile on her face.

If she would not accept it then he could not prove it. That was the rule and she was going to stick to it no matter what!

As if reading her thoughts, a cynical smile formed on his face as he muttered, 

"Yes it was because a certain someone complained that she was not able to hug me properly on the sofa!"

"…."

"She even said that I am like her personal heater and she would never let me go!" 

"…." the more he spoke the more her eyes widened. He was sure that her eyeballs would fall out of the sockets if she continued to stare at him like that. But he was enjoying her stunned and silly expressions way too much, so he continued,

"And that i look too sexy in the white shirt after work out since she could see my abs and muscles then!" 

"That is a complete lie. I certainly can not say that!" she looked at the man with a glare as he challenged her nerves. 

"I have never seen you in white shirt after a workout! So how would I comment about it? Don't you always come out in the uniform of the knight after completing your training?" her hands reached her waist as she stood up and looked at him with a scowl on her face.

"So, you do notice me when I come out after completing my training?"

"….." her face flushed when he raised his brow and asked the question in a seductive voice as if he was pointing at something.

"What.. What are you saying? You often come through the garden where I stroll in the morning. That is why I know that much. I certainly did not pay any attention to your presence!" she replied without thinking twice. There was no way that she was going to accept she had seen him while he was training.

"Then you will not even accept that you have drooled over me saying that my muscles were too strong and you like touching them even when I have proof of it! See you even tried to kiss them." he pointed at the mark of lipstick and the stain that she had already seen and her eyes closed.

A look of guilt and embarrassment filled her face. Had she really been this pervert after drinking! Could she have said all that?

She pressed her forehead with her hands and tried to remember but she could not recall anything no matter how hard she tried to remember.

"And…"

"That is it! I think I have drunk way too much. Would you stop singing about the events of last night now?

It is all your fault that you dragged me here when I have already told you that I want to sleep!" she replied in an aggrieved tone as she could not bear it anymore.

A smirk formed on the face of the man. She had said nothing like that but kept complaining that he always had too many flies around and that he was a glacier! No! Even glaciers would be warmer than him.

He had the capacity to freeze the whole empire with his chilled gaze. She even has the audacity to curse his future wife that she would die from a cold when she would hug him to sleep. 

But the irony was she complained all that while hugging him to get some warmth in the cold night.

He wanted to strangle her neck and push her off at the very moment. No one had ever dared to insult him that much. 

But when he was about to jerk her away, he saw how pitiful she was looking while shivering in the cold that he did not have the heart to do it in the end. While he continued to bear her insults and comments and even the torture she was giving to his body.

His whole body was boiling.

"Even if I stop talking about it. The proof would still stay right here. How are you going to compensate me huh?" he asked in a commanding tone and she shivered.

She did not want to bear the loss but she knew that he was not in a mood to let her go. 

Closing her eyes she accepted her fate and muttered, "I will pay for the cost of the shirt!" 

A cold smirk formed on his face when he heard her. He knew how much she loved money. All this time, she had disregarded him and had chosen money over him, this was the only chance he could get to take the revenge,

"Of course, this shirt is nothing costly, just 500 gold coins would do!" he took out the shirt and threw it on the floor and stood there displaying his broad chest and muscular body that was perfect v that could make anyone drool.

She froze when she heard him! "Five… five hundred gold coins?"
