My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 112: Precious

Chapter 112: Precious

"I think it’s evening..."

When Asher finally composed himself back, he now recalled everything that happened.

Yeah... he was having a very bad day.

’I hope Miss Anne isn’t still waiting for me...or the snacks, crap!’

Asher thought and wished she wouldn’t be upset. What happened already happened so he should apologise to her for being gone for this long.

"Mm...It’s evening."

The duke also agreed with Asher, looking out of the window but seemed very different from anytime Asher had seen the duke before.

Maybe he was hallucinating, but the duke...seemed happy even without smiling.

His eyes shined and seemed to be smiling.

And...he looked very innocent like that. Which makes Asher mess with him more.

Yeah...self control...

"Then...I will go back duke."

Asher said, tidying up his clothes.

"Mm..."

The duke mumbled and Asher waited as if he was waiting for something more.

"That’s...it?"

"...Is... there more?"

Asher observed the duke for sometime and then chuckled. Right...the duke was very innocent so how could he ask for a kiss before leaving?

Then, he may do it himself.

Asher walked to him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, but not on lips because he knew he might continue for a long kiss again. He didn’t want to waste the duke’s time anymore.

"That’s it. I am leaving then."

Asher said, giggling seeing the very familiar surprised and embarrassed red face of the duke.

So cute...

Amidst of his embarrassment, the duke nodded in response to Asher which made Asher chuckle again for some reason.

The duke was so cute, very innocent.

Asher sometimes felt the duke was like a child.

He looked tough outside, yet inside, he was weaker than Asher.

’But at least he knows how to use the weapons he was born with. Hehe...He didn’t seem so embarrassed during sex though. Either way, No one can now convince me he is not cute.’

Asher, after leaving the duke’s office, walked back to the kitchen instead of straightly going to Anne’s room because now he was so late, it wouldn’t be very polite to go empty handed.

And, he needed to find an excuse too.

And, Nala...

Would she still be in the kitchen?

But now...nothing she says would hurt him.

And he definitely wouldn’t just silently tolerate it either.

However, Nala wasn’t at the kitchen when Asher went back.

Since it had been sometime from when they argued there, she must be doing something else now.

He must have slept a considerable time after all.

Mm...So, what about the cake she said she was baking?

Was it already sent to Anne?

Asher walked to the kitchen, looking around to see if some maids were there so he could get help from them. Or, at least to find out if Anne’s snacks got delivered.

Well, it was supposed to be a morning snack. Now he may bring her it as an evening snack.

Somehow, the kitchen was empty and Asher looked through the trays stored to see if there was anything he could bring to Anne.

But they all were also empty which meant what was baked or made was already delivered since the kitchen only gave away fresh food.

’Sigh...I should just apologise to her. She, after all...was just a child but gave me some space alone. She was so thoughtful. What kind of a monster am I?! How could I forget her?’

Asher blamed himself, then pausing again as he realised he should blame someone else.

’Well...some annoying maid disturbed me so why am I blaming myself? And her father was seducing me so how could I Ignore that man? Haa...She will forgive me, right?’

Asher walked to Anne’s room, knocked on the door to which he got no response. He then went inside and saw it was empty.

It meant she might have gone somewhere. Where could she be at that time?

Asher’s first guess was the garden so he walked to the garden looking for his miss Anne, but only to meet Nala again.

’Ugh...’

Asher grunted, rolling his eyes at the sight of her when walking past her. He never really expected he could be so mean. Well, guess he got an enemy for the first time in his life.

"Aaah!"

To Asher’s surprise, Nala suddenly fell to the ground, leaving a groan that sounded really painful.

Asher immediately felt something was off. They didn’t even bump into each other. So what was that act for?

The first suspicion was maybe someone being near them where they could hear them talking. Could it be that she was trying to make him look like a bad guy to others?

Was it that kind of a thing?

While most of the time Asher’s guesses didn’t work as he expected, this time, he was very correct.

Asher secretly looked around where he saw the top of the head of someone, quite far away but not that far.

A short person, hair tied into a high ponytail. Dark hair... and, Asher obviously knew who it was.

Who else? It was definitely his miss Anne.

So...this was what Nala was planning, huh!

Miss Anne must have been walking around there. Asher was sure she could hear them.

But she still didn’t come there...maybe she wanted to overhear their conversation and not confront anyone, or simply ignore.

That’s okay.

His problem was with Nala.

Asher was ready to play this too.

"Ah! I am sorry. I was quite lost in thoughts. Let me help you."

Asher said, but his expression not showing any remorse, yet a cunning smile. Nala, understanding he was smarter than she thought, decided to play along because she had never been in any advantaged position. Since their miss trusted Asher a lot, if Asher was to spout anything, Miss Anne might take his side. She didn’t want anything bad about her to get known by the masters of the mansion.

She actually kind of regretted underestimating Asher. So she got up without saying anything, prepared to immediately walk away.

’Heh! She is very excited to screw me over. Why was she so obsessed about who should be the duke’s lover? Or, is she just mad because the duke’s lover is a man?’

Asher thought to himself as he watched Nala’s back, rushing away. He might have to be careful if she tries to pull a trick like this again. One wrong word and he could easily get framed for something he didn’t do and wasn’t like.

Asher clicked his tongue in annoyance but soon composed himself back, walking around to reach Miss Anne who he saw, not very far away.

’I hope she isn’t upset at me.’

And, thankfully or aurpriangky, she really wasn’t.

When Asher approached her, she smiled brightly, immediately asking him questions if he was okay now. It made Asher guilty that she was still worrying about him when he slept well and...cough! messed around with her father, cough!

Sigh...this father and daughter are so adorable.

So precious!

.....

While Asher was doing very well, all bubbly and happy, the duke in the office, sank into deep thoughts.

’Wait...Isn’t Asher a man? Since when did I...believe I could be l-lovers with a man?’

Felix, who still hasn’t managed to focus back on his work, tried to sort out his messy feelings that were shaken more by the latest memories of Asher.

So...he changed so much.

He never thought he would be liking a man.

And, wishing him to be a lover...

Why?

Why did he change that way?

Since when?

Since when did he like Asher that way?

How?

How did his dumb ass get the courage to respond to Aaher?

He was conflicted yet no denying about his excitement as he was very satisfied with the outcome.

Suddenly, everything seemed so bright.

Life is good.

Living is enjoyable.

He suddenly found time to think about himself too. Because, if Asher can go far as to love him, then how should he ignore himself? He needs to care for himself so he could be still as preferable as ever to Asher.

With that thought, he suddenly cared about his own self and worried about himself for the very first time.

’I don’t look ugly, do I? I don’t want to disappoint Asher.’

That’s how caring toward himself started.

But hey, at least that’s an improvement, right?...

But...why did he even think he was ugly?

If Asher were to hear this, he would definitely shower him with kisses as he praises everything about Felix.

The beautiful skin, the pretty eyes, the smooth hair, the plump lips, the ’easy to hold’ cheek and more...

Everything deserved kisses of passion.

Definitely deserved!

And, Asher could be very generous with the kisses too since he still hasn’t practised that little self control he thought he should have.

Till he manages to practise it properly, the duke might suffer for sometime.

Getting showered with kisses, the gentle touches...

Maybe...the day Asher will have a little self control...might never appear.

And...Asher also slowly realised it and could only beg the duke.

"Duke...Don’t seduce me. I have work to do."

Said Asher who stormed into Felix’s office in the daytime, then kissed him... and, dared to complain about the duke to the duke himself, while still holding the duke’s cheeks.

Felix stared back at him, confused.

He didn’t do anything!

How come even talking count as seducing?

Asher is really....just horny.
