Chapter 53: 53. Was he— oh my gosh!
Dumbfounded, I walk toward my door, but then I pause.
I really want to be with him tonight. E_even though we don’t go all the way, I want to spend the night next to him. Will it be selfish of me to ask for that? B_but I really don’t think I’ll be able to sleep if I’m not in his arms tonight. We can just share the same bed, no big deal.
Nothing has to happen.
Yeah, let’s just do that.
I turn around again and walk towards his door only to pause there again.
What if he sees me as a desperate woman? I don’t want him tothink of me like that.
I hate that I’m suddenly reminded of what Rowan had told me, that I become an easy woman whenever I’m desperate for sex.
I hate that.
I don’t want Duke to see me that way.
Right now, to be honest, I’m not really asking for sex, I just— I just want warmth. His warmth.
Just companionship, nothing more.
But will he believe me if I tell him that all I want to do is to try and fall asleep by his side?
"Ah! What if I carry my own pillow? That way he will surely know, I came to sleep. Just like a harmless sleepover."
I’m so wise.
I’m like a female version of king Solomon.
Quickly, I run into my room, pick up a pillow and run back out. I knock on his door quietly but there’s no response. I call his name lightly, there is still no response.
It’s impossible for him to have fallen asleep within two minutes!. So I turn the door knob, and I enter the room, closing the door behind me.
Where did he go?
"Ngh, hah! Ugh, Ngh!" What’s that sound? I walk toward the direction the strange sound is coming from and the voice is getting clearer. I can hear the sound of water rushing too, so that must be where the bathroom is. He must be taking a shower.
But in the middle of the night? It’s not as if it’s the middle of a hot summer night.
"Pagne," at first I think he’s calling me, maybe he senses I’m inside his room, but then, "Ugh, Pagne, f*ck, Champagne, Ngh, hah! Pagne, Ngh, f*ck!" My pillow falls to my feet, I slap a palm over my mouth as the sounds he’s making become too audible now and only a fool or a child will not understand what is going on behind that door.
I_is Duke masturbating with me in mind?!
...
So it’s morning already.
I couldn’t sleep a wink.
All through the night I was haunted by what I had stumbled upon. I was so shocked that I panicked and ran out of his room blushing like a teenager watching porn!
So that’s why he had chased me out like that in the middle of our kissing. "He really, gets turned on by me?" Ahhh! I bury my head inside my pillow and let out a scream.
I still can’t believe it.
I didn’t see anything because the door to the bathroom was closed and yet I keep picturing it in my head!
I keep imagining what his face would have looked like while making those sounds. His brows furrowed, his eyes probably squeezed close, his lips would be between his teeth, his head tilted back, and his hand would be vigorously stroking up and down his memb—
"Ahhhh!!! Champagne!" I scream into my pillow, punching the bed with both my hands! I can’t believe myself. I just can’t! Why am I conjuring such images in my head? It just won’t go away.
I should pray to God to take this image out of my head, but I’m just too embarrassed to ask for something like that from God.
"Duke Grand," I mutter his name as I blankly stare out the window with my head still upon my pillow, "What are you doing to my head?"
...
All dressed in a blue two piece suit and ready to move, I walk out of my room door. "Good morning Gio," I say as I see him downstairs from where I’m standing.
"A fine morning to you too, Signora Grand. I hope you had an equally fine night?" At his question, memories of last night that I have barely managed to push to the back of my mind come rushing forward all over again.
The hot kiss we shared, the feeling of his fingers on my waist, the electric shocks those fingers sent down to my core, and lastly... the sounds Duke made while I unintentionally caught him—
Oh gosh! God help me!
"M_my night was pleasant." What a blatant lie.
I walk over to Duke’s room. I’ve decided to go for the checkup with him. I know he will remain worried if he doesn’t do what he wants, so there’s no point resisting.
But the problem now is, how the heck am I supposed to face him?!! How?!!
Now I’m pacing in front of his door, biting my nails. He probably has no idea that I was in his room last night, so he will act normal, like he did nothing. But I can’t! How can I act normal?!
Oh, what devil pushed me back into that room last night?!
Why did I have to go back? Huh? Dear Lord help this daughter of yours, she’s losing her mind because of Duke Grand.
"Signora, are you alright?" Giovanni calls from below.
I walk over to the rails, and lean close to see him. "I’m fine. I’m perfect."
"Then why do you keep pacing in front of the master’s bedroom?" He asks. "Are you probably conflicted on either waking him or just letting him sleep for a while longer?"
"Y_yes! Yes, that is definitely it. It’s not like I’m just too embarrassed to see him this morning or anything like that." What am I say?!
"Would you prefer me to wake him up for you?" He asks.
That will be best. That will be easier for me, right?
Who am I kidding? I can’t avoid him forever. I’ll have to see him and talk to him eventually. Let’s just get over the embarrassment once and for all.
"N_no, thank you Gio. I’ll wake him up my—" My words trail off as I hear the sound of his door being opened behind me.
H_he’s already awake? I take in deep breaths, my hold on the rails tighten as I imagine he’d be shirtless this morning. I can’t deal with a shirtless Duke right now!
"Ah, he is already awake. Problem solved. Good morning Master Duke." Giovanni says and without waiting for a response goes to continue his business.
"Dearest," Oh heavens, "good morning."
Hmm, he doesn’t have that usual morning voice, that means he’s been awake for a while now.
Champagne! Will you keep standing like this? Turn around and face him!
I’m telling myself these things in my head and yet I can’t turn around!
"G_Good morning, Duke." Champagne, act normal! Act normal!!!
I feel that familiar scent of eucalyptus creeping closer and closer to my nose and I know he’s gotten closer to me.
Slowly, like a slithering snake I feel his hand wind around my waist and an unintended breath escapes my lips as my lashes fall close and my body naturally leans back to rest on his chest. Bringing some kind of familiar ease to my system at first.
His other hand snakes over my hand on the rein as he brings his head to my shoulder. Dear God, this man has no idea what he does to me.
One second he calms me with his presence and the next, my body is afire and I can’t seem to move away from the source of the flames. My heart is racing and so is that part between my legs. It’s getting itchy down there and I don’t know what to do. I cross my legs as my hold on the rails tighten.
"D_Duke," I stutter his name. He isn’t saying anything. He isn’t doing anything. He’s just standing behind me with my body pressed on his and his face buried in my shoulder.
"Dearest," He croons into my neck and gosh how I want him to kiss me there! I’m mad.
"Yes?" I breathe out.
"You forgot your pillow last night."
Huh? What is he talking about? I can’t seem to comprehend his words and—
Wait!!
What?!
Oh my gosh!
My head suddenly does a rewind and I remember taking my pillow into the room, but did I take it back with me when I ran out?!
Oh Lord, he knows!
"But you know what’s funny?" He breathes into my neck in a soft whisper, "I don’t remember seeing you with it when I pulled you in last night."
"D_Duke I_ I—"
"That leaves only one explanation for your pillow being inside my room, on the floor, in front of my bathroom."
Dear God!! Help me!
"You snuck back in."
"Ahh," I squeal as I feel his teeth sink into my skin. "Duke." I breathe out his name and again my hold on the rails tighten.
