Vivian glanced out of the window anxiously.
She could only hope that the sun would rise late for the day.
She couldn’t muster any courage to face him at all. When she had recalled his big thing that penetrated her completely at will, she felt that same heat began to seethe yet again.
Not only that, she also remembered how gentle the Grand Duke was. Even though his body had ferociously thrusted in and out of her as he pounded Vivian’s body, he still had whispered into her ears while kissing her affectionately.
Ah!
Vivian immediately put a stop at her own thoughts.
The more she thought of his low voice that had whispered into her ears, the more her body got heated up from within. She immediately shut her eyes as tightly as she could when the scene where his lips were not only violating her tongue, but also sucking on her chest had popped up explicitly in her mind.
All of those actions were actually directed towards Alexia, never to herself. After all, she wasn’t Lady Alexia in the first place. She was just a mere commoner who couldn’t even dare to put a single fingertip on the Grand Duke’s body.
As she reflected about it, Vivian’s mind soon became cold.
She could never be Alexia—at all.
***
When it was just at the crack of dawn, Vivian had already transformed into Alexia—like she always did.
While she was disguised as Alexia, not a single soul had inquired Vivian in regards to yesterday’s event. Judging from the loose surveillance, it seemed like they might already put their trust on Vivian herself.
Once again, Vivian had boarded the carriage alone for today. The coachman followed the customary route that headed to the House of the Grand Duke, in spite of Vivian’s waist which had never gotten relaxed even if it was just for a moment.
She pressed her wide-brimmed hat firmer than she usually did. Then, she put on her act like how she was mostly in the presence of others. It was as if she couldn’t have avoided the tension even for a short moment.
“I came to see His Highness, the Grand Duke.”
“Actually, my master has already been waiting for you. This way, if you please.”
Vivian briefly hesitated when she heard that he had already been waiting, but still, she immediately recovered. She then strode off while masquerading as Alexia—much thoroughly than ever.
After that, she entered the room under butler’s guidance.
She was welcomed with an unexpectedly neat room, as if yesterday’s bellicose atmosphere was just a mere illusion. If not for the meticulously closed curtain all over the bed, it would be highly convincing to say that nothing had ever happened before.
Right after the butler had left, Vivian slowly proceeded to the bed. When she recalled yesterday’s turn of events all of a sudden, her steps gradually shrank, but still, she didn’t stop at all.
As she carefully opened the curtain, she found that he was fast asleep, in contrast to what was informed about how he had been waiting for her. Only after she had confirmed that he was really sound asleep that she liberated her stiffened body.
How good it’d be if we were to stay just like this. Vivian conscientiously removed her hat before setting it aside. His eyelids weren’t budging in any way despite all the clattering that blared up until she took a seat on the chair while observing him.
“It’d be better if you wouldn’t wake up……”
She thought that it would be nice if she could just take a look at his appearance—like this—before returning back. She had come up with many things to say, to the point that she could hardly fall asleep. However, this situation right now didn’t seem too bad either.
Did he suffer all night long? As she looked at his hair that had been soaked with sweat, Vivian’s hand instinctively reached out to wipe it off.
“Ah!”
The moment her hand had precisely touched upon his forehead, his eyes popped open in an instant.
His hand, which recognized her presence like that of an apparition, had immediately seized Vivian’s wrist before steering it to himself. After her helplessly captured hand was touched by his lips, his gaze quickly turned to Vivian.
“Oh no…… I seem to have fallen asleep for a while. When did you arrive?”
“I, I just got here.”
Vivian immediately made an excuse in order to cover up the fact that she had been watching him.
