To find another lover?
WARNING: smut content (kind of)
«Thea!» the Duke warns me, while his clench tightens, and his pupils contract. It's a small change. If I was a millimetre farther, this little difference would have passed unnoticed, in his black iris.
«What?» I ask, wondering if he's raging or the opposite.
«You can't say things like that. Do you know how it sounds?»
It's like he's teaching a small child how to behave. It's frustrating, and also so anticlimactic. I thought he would be happy to hear the words pronounced despite the embarrassment caused by them. If he continues to stare like this, I'll completely forget about my purposes.
«You don't have to do it, if you don't want to,» I mutter and try to get up. Needless to say, it's impossible.
«I never said that,» he points out.
Oh, so that's how it is. I turn back to my Duke and press my lips on his. Since he doesn't stop me, I dare to deepen my kiss.
