I continued to stare at Lucretius. He was deep in his sleep.
He couldn’t hear me, so I said to him quietly, “That’s what you get for being stupid!”
There was no answer as I expected. I felt relieved and confident.
I continued spitefully, “You were talking some nonsense about owning my breath, and here you are! You got this cold from me!”
He still didn’t say anything. He was fast asleep.
I loved this! This was so fun!
I continued, “You are so weak! You look sicker than I was! Such a wimp! Hahaha!”
“…”
“…”
Silence fell. I felt a little silly talking to myself.
Suddenly, I felt embarrassed. My face became red. I decided I’ve said enough.
It was time to take care of him. That’s what I promised to do to Samantha.
I stood up quickly.
What should I do…
Oh! Medicine!
“Yes. I need to give him his medicine.”
As I murmured, I remembered he just took his medicine and fell asleep.
“… Then dinner…”
It was past dinner time though. He probably already had a meal before he took the medication.
“Uhm… What should I do?”
I sounded idiotic even to myself. Then suddenly, I noticed Lucretius was sweating. His forehead was wet.
Yes! This was it!
When I was sick, I felt awful sweating. My body felt wet and sticky.
I felt silly, but I needed to call Samantha back.
“Please get me a towel and water. Uhm… Also another shirt for him.”
“Yes, your highness.”
Thankfully, Samantha didn’t ask me why and what they were for. She quietly brought me the items and left.
I felt nervous. I didn’t know why.
I had to do this.
I can do this!
I wet the towel in warm water and wiped his sweaty forehead. I tried my best to cool him down. Perhaps it was my imagination, but he looked much better afterward.
Good! I continued down to clean his neck.
Even his neck was long and sexy.
“…”
I started to get tense.
As I got lower, I noticed his chest.
His hard wide chest.
He must have sweated a lot because his shirt was soaking wet. It was practically see-through by now.
Yes, he needed to change. Good thing Samantha brought me a new dry shirt.
However, to change him…
I needed to take his wet shirt off first.
I stared at his chest hard.
T, this was necessary. He was a patient, and I was only trying to take care of him.
I reminded myself and grabbed his shirt with trembling hands.
As I was about to pull it, his hands grabbed my wrists and pulled hard. I lost my balance and fell on to the bed.
“Huh?”
I felt his bare skin against mine. It was shocking.
When I slowly opened my eyes, his face was above mine, looking down at me.
His green eyes met mine. He was smiling knowingly and said to me, “You are so passionate and aggressive.”
What?
“Pardon?!”
He didn’t seem to care that I was in shock. He continued to grin at me happily.
I was laying on my back and he was on top of me. I tried to move, but it was no use.
In this dimly lit room, I was laying on the bed with a man who was wet and half naked.
T, this was… too dangerous!
We have spent a lot of time together, but never like this.
He smirked and played with my hair as he whispered, “So it looks like you finally want me now. You practically leaped into my bed.”
I jumped and replied, “What the hell are you talking about! I didn’t jump into anything. You are the one who pulled me into your bed!”
“Same thing.”
They weren’t the same thing! Not at all!
“Stop being silly!”
I tried to move my arms, but it was useless. I knew he had full control over this situation. So instead of trying to escape, I turned my face away from him.
“…”
He responded immediately, “Hmm, are you pouting?”
“…”
I remained quiet to make my point, but instead of letting me go, he laughed.
How annoying!
I was about to say something when he loosened his grip.
“Well, if you insist.”
“…”
I felt embarrassed as he let me go this easily. I slowly got up.
But… This was worse! My body became even closer to his half-naked chest.
T, this was even more dangerous!
When I flinched and tried to back away, he grabbed my wrist again.
“L, let me go!”
“If you get any farther away, I won’t be able to see your face very well. It must be the fever; my eyes feel a bit blurry right now.”
I felt hot again. Even my brain felt like it was in an oven. This was too much! This was too dangerous!
I shook my head.
“It looks like you are all better now, so I’ll get going!”
“Don’t leave.”
I couldn’t think straight.
Lucretius was one sexy man, to begin with, even when fully clothed. His eyes, his face, and his smile all screamed sensuality.
Lisbeth fell in love with him with only a single dance.
Right now, this gorgeous man was half naked. He was wet and slightly flushed, which made him even sexier!
My body was about to explode. I wasn’t thinking when I blurted out.
“This is too dangerous!”
“Danger? What’s so dangerous? I would never harm you.”
He seemed confused. His facial expression was so innocent, it surprised me. I blurted out again.
“No! I mean! … Me! You are in danger from me!!”
“…”
“…”
… What was wrong with me?
The silence was awkward. I prayed he would faint from his illness. Perhaps he would forget this whole thing!
Of course, this didn’t happen. Lucretius asked me in confusion, “Hmm? I don’t understand what you mean. Are you saying you might harm me, like poison me? If you do that, it wouldn’t benefit you in any way. In fact, it would be bad for you.”
“…”
Gosh! Just stop! He was making me sound like an idiot!
He continued, “I know you aren’t a stupid woman, so…”
Just stop!
I twisted my body to get my wrist out from his grip, but it didn’t work. I could never win against him in strength.
I replied to him, “That’s right. I am a dangerous woman, so let me go…!”
I couldn’t even finish my sentence. He pulled my wrist and I was laying on my back again. Before I knew what was happening, I was staring at the ceiling.
He was on top of me again!
Stop! Don’t!
He said to me, “A dangerous woman needs a dangerous man. Don’t I look like a dangerous man to you?”
Without thinking, I replied to him, “I know you are the most dangerous man in this kingdom.”
What was wrong with me! I should have stayed quiet!
Lucretius’s eyes narrowed as he grinned.
“It’s good to hear that you know.” Before his lips touched mine, he laughed which sounded like a growl. He whispered to me, “And you are the most dangerous woman in this kingdom.”
Then… the long kiss began.
I must have lost my mind. Without thinking, my hands moved to hug his arms and shoulders. Our lips and tongue met.
I was panting by the time it ended.
“…”
Lucretius smiled smoothly as he tapped my tight corset. My body tensed immediately. I knew he could feel my reaction too.
N, no! Stop!
The scary thing was if he tried tonight, I knew I would give in. My brain knew better, but my body wanted what he wanted too!
I needed to be strong!
He said to me slowly, “I would love to finally do this…”
I continued to stare at Lucretius. He was deep in his sleep.
He couldn’t hear me, so I said to him quietly, “That’s what you get for being stupid!”
There was no answer as I expected. I felt relieved and confident.
I continued spitefully, “You were talking some nonsense about owning my breath, and here you are! You got this cold from me!”
