My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 29: A Little Sleep

Chapter 29: A Little Sleep

The next day, it was the duke who woke up first. He woke up as usual early and saw the man in his arms still sleeping peacefully. He slowly got up, not disturbing his sleep and stretched out.

’It feels good. Agh... My legs kind of throb. Must be because of continued exercise yesterday..."

The duke punched his thighs and stretched out once again, turning to Asher. He didn’t seem too bothered by the disappearance of the hands around him. He slept soundly, looking very peaceful.

But his eyes had kind of swelled, maybe because he cried. However, during the whole process, the duke didn’t let their lips touch as he thought it would be unfair for Asher. He had heard people cherish their first kiss.

He doesn’t know if Asher already had his first kiss. But he randomly guessed he hadn’t. So he didn’t want to make Asher lose his first kiss for some deal they had sex to help each other.

Still, he couldn’t help but nibble on his nipples and neck. Those red marks left by his slight bitings and kissings obviously made Asher look even more seductive. But Felix still kind of believed he did something inappropriate by leaving those traces on him.

Nonetheless, he also had some deep bite wounds on his shoulder. When he laid close to him, Asher would bite him when he was trying to hold onto him. And then, his claws would dig into his back, his nails piercing Felix’s skin in his back. They were not that painful and he had much more serious injuries. So he just ignored them.

’I still lost control...’

What happened has already happened. So maybe next time...

"He must be exhausted. He was the one who had a hard time anyway."

He sighed again, put on some clothes as he was still naked. He lazily put on his night robe which was thrown off the bed last night and went to take a bath.

When he came back, Asher was still sleeping soundly. Felix didn’t want to disturb him after all. And he was not in a hurry to go to his work either. So he silently collected the thrown-off clothes on the ground, those clothes he used to wipe off the evidence left on Asher and also the pillows on the ground.

Felix wanted to wait until Asher wake up and know how he was feeling. But Asher took way too much time sleeping and Felix had to focus back on his work. But he didn’t want to wake up Asher at the same time.

So, he called his most trusted maid, Mary who had been taking care of him ever since he was a child. By that time, she was already 46 years old but was still very energetic and very skillful at work. She was the maid Felix always called for his work because he felt comfortable with her and kind of had to be extra sensitive with other maids.

Even if he didn’t want maids, he still needed them to take care of the mansion and Anne. That’s why he still had those maids in his mansion.

Felix put on his arranged clothes and went out of the room looking for Mary. When he saw her, he took her to the room and gave her instructions to look after Asher.

"Mary, when he wakes up, don’t let him just go. You must inform me, okay?"

He was not cold with Mary. Even if he would, Mary never showed any terror in front of him. She knew him well. She saw him grow up so she did not have any reason to fear him as she knew how people bullied him, wronged him and made his life tough.

"I got it."

Mary said and watched her master’s face suddenly blushing and a slight embarrassment showing. How cute! This guy hadn’t even smiled in a long time. Seeing him blushing was actually a blessing.

"Mmm...Mary. My room is a little dirty. If you can, please clean it. But don’t disturb his sleep. Thank you."

Well, his face said it all. Room dirty? That face said something different. She couldn’t help but laugh at his adorable reaction. Seemed like he had finally grown up and was feeling embarrassed.

"Understood duke."

After that, he walked to his office room and started clearing the pile of work he had as usual.

Meanwhile, the maid entered the room and saw the man curled up inside the blanket.

’So the duke likes men? Whatever! it’s still good that he has someone he likes.’

The duke’s illness was known by everyone in the mansion. But they didn’t know he would have sexual urges. They only knew he would become violent and would not let anyone come near him as he would lock himself up for at least ten days and it was a sickness he suffered from.

They thought he transformed into some kind of a beast when that period came in every month. Was it like some fairy tale? Could true love cure his illness? He was supposed to be in pain and suffering yesterday, but it seemed like he ended up having sex with a man and now seems all fine, unlike previous months where he would be in his room, locking himself in...

So it was clear as water.

She simply thought they were lovers. And their true love cured things...

She was happy for him, but her fairy tale was unfortunately not that beautiful in reality.

Upon seeing the man’s face clearly, she was stunned for a second. She of course knew he was a servant there. She was the head maid after all.

He was the guy their duke bought from the auction. Their miss liked him so much.

’So he was a sex slave? Not a lover? I didn’t know the duke liked these kind of things?’

Mary was disappointed when her fairy tale became pure fantasy.

He bought him... then he must have bought him for this. Or what else?

He had bought a sex slave. Nothing romantic there. So, she sighed and stared at the pile of clothes on the bed, collecting them.

She was warned almost three times not to wake him up so she did not dare to wake Asher up. She silently collected the clothes and went to wash them.

Even if the guy on the bed would wake up, he would not be able to go out since he had no clothes to wear. No one would dare to cover themselves with a blanket and walk through the mansion. So she freely went to wash them.

Throughout the whole time she washed them, put them to sun dry and came back, Asher was still sound asleep.

’He must have been exhausted yesterday.’

The maid blushed and thought to herself as she thought about more things to do. She brought a water bucket and cleaned the floor even though it didn’t seem dirty. She needed to keep an eye on Asher so she found some work to do while she waited until he woke up.

Even though she needed to wash the bed sheets, she couldn’t get them as Asher was still sleeping on them. So she could only keep those things for later anyway.

However, in the middle of cleaning the floor, she heard the man on the bed groaning.

Finally!

He had woken up!
