Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Why are you whining like a kid? Are you that afraid of walking in the dark!?" She lifted her head up to glare at him but stopped when her eyes fell on his lower jaw. Under the contrast of lights coming from the palace, his sharp features shone making his handsome face sexier.

From his sharp jaw to pointed chin, he was looking so damn sexy that she felt herself getting hot. She took a step closer to him and stood on her tip toe and kissed him.

The kiss was nothing like he did to her but just touching of lips yet it was enough to stun him.

"Finally I found a good way to keep you silent." he lowered his head and looked at her in surprise. Her flushed face was looking much more enchanted.

But before he could hold her, she ran away with a giggle.

He followed her only to find that a horse was waiting for them on the other corner.

"When did you arrange that? I thought you had made a rash decision!"  She giggled as she could not tell him that this was arranged for Eli to run away with Andrew but then they later decided to send her through the carriage.

"Why does it matter? Are you coming with me or not?" he looked at her with a burning gaze as he lightly touched his lips.

The kiss was nothing but a tease, that only flamed his desire to kiss her again. He climbed on the horse and then pulled her but instead of leaning her back on him, he leaned her chest on his.

She blinked as she was not expecting this. Her face flushed further when she saw desire brimming in his eyes and hid her head in his chest.

"Why? Do you think you can run away after teasing me? I do not know what your plan is but I only desire to eat you." holding her tightly in his embrace, he whispered with a husky voice when he felt her moving her head in his chest like a bunny.

The horse started trotting slowly but she could feel the friction between their bodies with each move. She had not expected a horse ride to be this sexier.

"So where do you want to go?" he whispered to distract himself from the heat spreading in his body.

They kept on travelling with nothing particularly in his mind when she punched his chest suddenly.

"Hey, we are going to stop here." she spoke as shook him with full force making him frown.

"We are going to have our date here?" she was not pointing at an inn or at some special place but at the street where some local stalls were set and a lot of commoners were roaming around.

"Yes, I want to reminisce about the old days of my life." she pouted her lips and looked at him with pleading eyes who sighed and nodded his head.

"Just stay closer to me ok this place is unguarded." he held her hand and then chained the horse to a nearby tree.

Holding her hands, they started walking together under the starry light near the river where a lot of couples were roaming there.

"I want to have that snack." she pointed at a stall where cupcakes were getting sold.

"Evan?" she pulled out an aggrieved face as she bit her lips like she was too hurt.

"Are you saying that we are not going to eat any food on our first date after marriage?" with the look she was giving to him, he knew that she was not going to relent. So, he sighed.

"Alright but stay here. Do not go anywhere until I come back." he warned her again and again so many times that she started frowning, only then did he leave.

Evangeline looked around with a smile on her face. She already has a plan in her mind. Her eyes filled with a sly look as she took another lane and walked towards the shop on the corner.

The man gave him a cold glance but did not say a word when she walked in.

"I want the best gift and room." he gave her once over and then nodded.

"It would take 5 gold coins and." Without waiting for him to complete, she took out the coins and placed them on the table when finally his eyes flickered.

It was more than 10 gold coins. There were very few who pay more than asked but haggle for the money as they think his work is not worth it.

She must be a noble. His facial expressions changed instantly, gone was the cold look and a flattering smile plastered on her face.

"Welcome my lady, wait here for a minute. I will go and bring all things for you." he bowed his head and left.

She tapped her feet and looked around. Though she had pointed at the most crowded shop, Leo is fast enough to come back.

"Here, this is your roses and this is the gift that you wanted. If you want any extra service, you can ask for that too.

And this is your manseur." she turned to look at the strong muscular man who winked when she turned back and her head snapped back so fast to the old man who was laughing with internal meaning.

"He is the best one here. He would satisfy you completely." he said with a grin on his face. Evan was taken aback and she was not able to respond when the manseur took a step towards her.

"Excuse me, but there is…"

"So, this is what you have planned for our first date after the marriage, Evangeline!?? And here I thought that you wanted to spend time with me.

Like crazy, I was looking for you and asking everyone if they have seen you. For a minute I thought that something bad had happened to you and my mind went berserk. Only to see you here, hiring a man in the dark alley?"
