Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Why did you refuse to go with them?" Leo asked as he saw Evan placed Renee back on the bed.

He noted that they need to make a swing or a cot for her to sleep comfortably.

"Hmm? Did you want to go back?" she asked with a blank face as if she felt nothing about it.

"That's not it! We were about to leave today but you refused at the end moment. At least give me a reason to do so." he stared hard at her calm face with a hint of annoyance.

He was on edge. Did sne think that he was a demon of some kind that she wanted to hide him?

Or did she think.. No! He held his head. He did not want to think but knew what the reason was.

Or he was going to go  berserk.

"I want to stay here in peace for more time and.." she looked at him with some hesitation when his heartbeat raced. He felt like his heart would burst out until she would complete his sentence.

"And what.. Evangeline!!"

"And I want to see your magic.. I want to see what you can do with it?" she asked with her eyes sparkling as if she was amazed when he blinked.

That was not the expression he was expecting.

"You did not think that i am a strange kind of monster or i am cursed?" he asked in a low voice that was filled with anxiety when she blinked.

"Huh?" What did you say?" her eyes filled with bewilderment but when she looked at his trembling eyes as he stole his gaze away from her, she realized that he was insecure.

Who would have thought that her husband with whom she already had a child had insecurities too.

Her eyes softened and she could not stop the giggle forming on her face as she went to him and hugged him from behind.

Her soft and thin arms were not able to cover his chest fully but it was enough to calm his rummaging heart.

He took a breath of relief. She could not fathom how much on edge he was. He felt that she would think of him as a monster and leave him.

What could he do if she would take their daughter with her. After all, she is the mother.

His puppy eyes were too cute. She had never thought that a cold and strong man like Leo could be this soft when it comes to the matter of heart.

"You are a silly man. How in the world would I leave you when you love me this much?" she shook her head as he turned and held her tightly.

His hands were holding her so strongly as if he still had his own fear.

She let him until he relaxed a bit and then he raised his head with a grin on his face.

"You want me to see you using magic?" he asked with a cunning look on his face but she nodded without fear.

He nodded his head as he held her shoulders and dragged her towards the sofa. Once she was seated, he waved his hands in the air.

The eyes of Evan widened. The books that were still on the bookshelf just a few moments ago were dancing in the air.

They took circles and each of them opened as she could hear the echo in the air.

"The books are reading themselves?" she asked with a stunned look on her face as she stood up to touch them. But I was a bit afraid to do that.

"That is not all." he looked at the fireplace that was not lit yet and his eyes sparkled.

Flames could be seen forming in his eyes and soon the fire was lit and blazed in the fireplace.

"I can control fire and movements. I can rule when it comes to space.

That helped me in going anywhere without much time taken and burning things. That is all but i am still studying my powers." he said as he scratched the back of his head when she blinked.

Her eyes were filled with wonder.

"Oh my Leo! You are a strong wizard." she exclaimed as she covered her mouth with her both hands and he chuckled again.

"But.. What about the people who had captured your mother? What if they would come to you?" worry instantly filled her animated eyes when he smiled.

"You do not need to worry about it. I will never tell anyone that I have powers. I did not need them in the first place. Didn't I live a good life without them?" he asked with a raised brow when she nodded her head and hugged him again.

"Yes, but it is too bad that your talent is going to waste." he laughed looking at her disappointed face.

"But that does not mean that we can not use them when we're alone. Let's see.. What else could I do with it." he said with a nefarious smile on her face as she felt her dress moving on its own.

The buttons flew in all directions and the dress was loosely hanging on her body now shocking her to the core.

But he just smirked. Next the dress fell and the corset started to move too.

He walked closer to her like a predator walking towards his prey.

Before she could take a step back his hands were already on the clasp of her bra.

"Though I can take them off without touching them too. But where is the fun in that? Now that you are done with delivering the child. I am hungry." and he looked insatiable.

His eyes are glowing with desire and looking at the intensity of his eyes, her inside churned too.

"That.. It will still take a few days for me to recover."

"......." she lowered her head when she felt the disappointment building in his eyes.

"But.. I have other ways to do it now."
