How to Survive as the Wife of The Monster Duke

Ilyin clenched her fists, as she did not expect Aden to believe her. She couldn’t see the expression on his face and stopped herself from looking in the direction that his voice was coming from. She managed to look to the other side.

“What did you see in your dream?” he asked.

She heard his voice right next to her and she held her breath as she felt his breath tickle her neck. Ilyin turned around, as she was not certain yet whether she could look at him or not. However, Aden interpreted her movements, “Ah, I questioned you too much.”

He placed a hand under her shoulder as she still avoided his gaze. Ilyin gasped as he lifted her body and turned her around before having her sit on his lap. She flushed as she felt his erection even more directly. Her gown had slid off, and she felt his member on her skin.

“You will not see my eyes in this position,” he spoke. Ilyin blinked, with a soft murmur of assent, that he would not see hers either. She heard his breathing that came to her in quiet bursts, “Are you more comfortable now?” She nodded and heard a laugh in her ears. His hands were large enough to cover much of her skin, and she felt how large he was as she sat on him. Their bodies came closer together as he embraced her shoulder.

“Do you believe me?” Ilyin couldn’t help but ask, and Aden’s hands roamed freely as he seemed to search for the right answer. It felt like he was taking forever and she waited with bated breath for his answer. Where the heat of his breath touched her neck, her body became clammy, like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ilyin had been about to raise her hand to rub her arms when Aden gently stroked her shoulder. She heard his even breathing, and he spoke as he brought her closer to him, “You have no reason to lie to me.”

That was true. Ilyin lowered her gaze. Aden would know that she had no intention of returning to the Arlen estate if he’d searched her background, and that would also mean that he knew Ilyin cared for her life here much more than she showed. Aden was right. Ilyin had no reason to lie but she was concerned about being labeled as a liar, regardless.

“I am still curious, but it seems that today’s chance is over,” he said. Ilyin’s eyes opened wide as she knew she had not questioned him yet and Aden let out a low laugh as he felt her surprise. “You asked me whether I believed you.” Ilyin opened her mouth as she felt deceived, but the Duke smiled again, “All right, I will ask again. What did you see in that dream?”

He must’ve been curious to take back his words so rapidly, and Aden buried his face in her shoulder. Her body shook as his touch was much more direct and intense than when they had been facing each other. He used the arm he’d embraced her with, to trail down from her bre*st to her waist, and the other hand was on the inside of her thigh. His finger brushed against her sensitive spots like he wanted to dazzle her. Ilyin’s cheeks turned blood-red.

“An avalanche ambushed the Delrose knights…” Ilyin knew her words were muddled, but Aden’s breath was on her body. His touch was soft as if to tell her that he did not suspect her, and she felt heat where she was already wet, “Ah…!”

His hand circled her most secret place and he slid a finger inside her, brushing her juices before ravishing her cl*toris, and she arched her back in pleasure.

“The knights?” He waited for her answer patiently, and Ilyin let out a short breath.

Aden had moved her slightly, and she had felt him on her thigh again. Ilyin tried to think about the dream. The knights had looked astonished as the avalanche had neared them rapidly as if it was alive, and she remembered seeing Den at the front of them. “Is he all right?” she asked.

Ilyin’s question stopped the Duke’s movement, and his voice was low as he answered, “Who?”

“Him…” Ilyin hesitated because she remembered her previous dream when Den had spoken about bringing back summer to the Biflten lands. She still remembered the look on his face.

“Are you thinking about something else?” He whispered as he nibbled her ear, and she shivered as he covered her eyes with a hand while he turned her around. Ilyin felt his arms support her as his erection was just about to enter her. He slipped inside of her slightly, and his member touched her where she was most vulnerable.
