Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Wait! What are you doing?"

Evan gritted her teeth when she realized that she could still see him. She had thought that she would not see him if she would take a cold bath, but he was still there. She needed to go and see the physician urgently before she turned completely crazy.

"Bam" 

She opened the closet with all the frustration she had and its door hit the wall and jerked to their original place. 

Taking out the dress she was about to let go of her towel when she heard a frosty but panicked voice behind her.

"What are you doing?" she blinked and turned only to find him still standing there. No! He was taking cold steps towards her now.

She blinked again to get rid of the delusion. And then sneezed.

"Achhoo!!" but his frosty aura only increased with time as he kept looking at her as if she had gone crazy.

"What the hell are you doing?" he asked with a glum look when she did not reply to him the first time. 

But she did not tremble with fear like she always does. In fact, she moved closer to her. Taking slow steps towards him, she looked at him as if she was looking at him for the very first time. Her eyes were filled with shock as she moved her trembling hands closer to his body and then slapped him.

The sound of the slap reverberated in the room and she looked at her hands with shock. She could feel the warmth of his cheek. It meant that he was not a delusion but standing there in reality.

"......" the man was stunned! He could not believe that she had once again slapped him! And that also without any rhyme or reason!

Evan who was finally relieved that she was not getting crazy and he was there in reality trembled when she felt his frosty glare on her face. He was looking at her with his squinted eyes as if he was planning which would be the most painful way to kill her and she gulped.

"That.. i"

"You should have told me that you want to die!" His voice was so low that she could feel chills run down her spine. She could feel the anger the way his voice came through gritted teeth.

"There.. There was a mosquito on your cheek my lord! I was just trying to save you from it." 

"......" 'He narrowed his eyes while his lips pursued into a thin line. He was looking at her with piercing eyes as if trying to digest the lamest lie she could come up with that straight face!

But when his eyes fell on her rosy cheeks and quivering lips, he did not have the wish to expose her and shout at her.

"Achooo" she sneezed again as she held the corner of towel in her hands which slipped a bit when she sneezed.

Only then she remembered that she was standing there only in a towel while he was staring at her. Her meek demeanor turned into a glare as she snarled at him,

"What are you doing in my room and how did you even enter? Where are the maids?" she asked with a glare and took a few steps away holding her towel.

His mind was distracted with a slap but now that she had reacted that way, his eyes wandered on the towel again.

Her bare collarbones and a bit of her cleavage could be seen with the towel and her face had turned misty and reddish due to the bath. She looked enchanting. Her long legs were still a bit wet and a few drops of water could be seen dancing on her body.

That made him feel sour. Why were the water drops touching her body so leisurely? His eyes darkened when he continued to look at her before she ran into the bathroom again.

"Pass me a dress!" she screamed once she had locked the door and was sure that he could not come in.

Her heart was thumping so hard that she was sure she would faint any moment.

"Leo, you scoundrel. What were you doing in my room when I was changing clothes?" she glowered from the bathroom while rubbing her chest to calm herself.

"You were the one who decided  to take off your towel even when you saw that I was standing there. How would I have known that you would be taking a bath at this hour and strolling in your room only in the towel." came his frost voice from outside.

"......" he did sound logical when he put it that way!

But why did she feel that there was something missing in the whole conversation?

"Wait! Why were you even in my room in the first place? We have separate rooms for our privacy only!" she retorted and he pursued his lips. He walked closer to the closet where the girl had thrown the dress on the floor while shouting in the room.

He bent and picked up the dress from the floor and stood up. Walking towards the bathroom with slow steps, he tried to open the door only to realize that it was locked. His eyes narrowed at the door and the person who was standing on the other side of the door.

"So that was why you slapped me?" he asked as he knocked on the door and she jumped on her feet.

"I have already told you that I was killing the mosquito so that it could not bite you. Why are you trying to open the door?" her slowly calming heart started to thump again and the events of last night started to dance in front of her eyes.

'Did he want to kiss her again or do more of that thinking that she was an easy girl!' no! She had to tell him that she has her conscience.

"How am i supposed to pass you the dress then?"

"..........."
