Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Thank god it is you!" The words were enough to freeze Leo. As if a large stone had been thrown in a calm lake. Her words created ripples in his calm mind echoing them again and again.

Evan did not even realise how much she had started to trust him even when she spoke those words unconsciously. She took a few deep breaths, but her body had started feeling pain. It was withering due to the effect of the aphrodisiac. She scratched her body helplessly. Her eyes that always sparkle had turned dim. 

"Do not do that." he turned to stop her only to see that only a corset was left on her upper body. Her back was bare and so as her collarbones, her cleavage could be seen too.

His face turned red and he turned his head away abruptly and coughed, "Wait here! I shall leave and look for a lady physician till then, I will send a maid to help you."

Evan shook her head, that way. They both would lose their dignity. What happened in the room, shall stay in the room. She did not care when others called her shrewd or wicked, but being found with disoriented clothes in a man's room would ruin her image completely.

She tried to stand up, but stumbled and held his pants only to fall again. His eyes widened as he moved closer to her and held her. His hands once again touching her back and his body turning stiff. He was hardly able to calm down but she was there to light the fire again.

"Do not call the physician or maids. Only you will be able to help me. Do not go. I only need you."  her words were so seductive and ambiguous! Did she even know what she was saying and how a man would interpret it? 

Or did she think that he was immune to her charms? Did she even look at him as a man? He wanted to pull his hair and tell her how he was feeling while looking at her but he did not want to shatter her trust, she had formed on him.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked in a torn voice. Only he knew how much courage was needed to control his urges!!

"I want you to tie my hands and blindfold me." she replied in a voice that came out seductively due to the alcohol an aphrodisiac in her body. 

"........." gone! He was gone! She would be the death of him today. The great commander of knights who did not even get any scratch in the war would die due to the attacks of a frail girl! How embarrassing!!!!

But when he took a deep breath and her words sunk in his mind, he realized what she was trying to do! He nodded and walked towards the cabinet and brought two silk handkerchiefs and walked behind her.

"Can you button your dress before I tie your hands?" his nerves tightened whenever his eyes fell on her. He was sure all the veins of his body would pop up if he continued to look at her.

But in spite of looking at his struggling face, she shook her head. "It is so hot and the clothes were burning me. I.. it is fine, since you have already seen me and I trust you.'' He wanted to say that it was not fine for him and no matter how many times he had seen her, he could not stop his body from reacting.

She should not trust a man so much as the physical reactions had nothing to do with mind. But all he could do was gulp and nod! He closed his eyes and resigned to his fate of being tormented by her. 

'Damn! I would make sure to burn Aurora in hell. She had created so much trouble for me.' he gnashed his teeth and forced his stiff body to relax a bit.

"What happened, Leo?" her soft voice rang in his ears again making him torn and the handkerchief in his hand almost torn.

"Nothing!" was all he said as he came closer to her to tie her eyes. 

His masculine smell wafted in her nose and the effect of the drug amplified. She felt like pouncing on him and kissed those cold lips again. She wanted to enjoy the hold of his masculine arms on her soft body. She shivered only with the thought of being close to him that her whole body started to burn again.

Leo felt her struggles and for a minute he forgot that he was suffering the torments too.

"This would not work. You need proper treatment." His voice was worried and she smiled bitterly as she blinked her animated eyes and turned to look at him for one last time before he would darken her world for tonight.

"Do not worry, I will not eat you. I know what consequences it would bring." and then turned back and closed her eyes as if telling him that she was ready to be tied.

"......" he gulped and looked at her. Could he tell her that he wanted to be eaten by her and he would very much appreciate these kinds of consequences?!! With a deep sigh, he moved closer and tied her eyes finally and then moved to tie her fair hands that could have a mark even when held tightly. 

His heartbeats had turned erratic too and he did not know how she was handling herself so bravely when all his resolve was crumbling just by looking at the visuals she was providing.

  She took a deep sigh when she could not look at him anymore and could not breathe his smell too. Since she could not move her hands, she was not afraid of attacking him suddenly too. Finally trying to take deep breaths, she tried to calm her body, but it was still too hot and uneasy.

"Leo, will you do me another favor?"

"....."
