Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 138 - Victory, Just A Step Away

—---------------------

Aurora knocked the door with anticipation. She could not even stand still for a second as she adjusted to her place again. Her eyes were checking her reflection on the mirror of the door. Her red see through gown was only hiding her private parts. While her long legs could be seen through the sheer clothing and so as her thin waist. Her face had a rosy hue and her eyes were smokey. Her lips were red and luscious and very tempting to get kissed.

No men would deny if the woman would take the initiative and so as the alluring woman like her. Her eyes were filled with confidence and anticipation as she touched her open hair again. She was proud of her good looks and thin figure that she was sure that Leo would be his tonight.

She knocked on the door once again and finally entered with a pause. Her eyes fell on the figure who was ignorant that he was going to be hers tonight.

Leo was still working on the papers when she entered. His sharp and defined features glowed in the dim light of the room with only lamps burning on her table while the rest of the room was dark. His eyes turned alert like a hawk when he entered her voice yet he did not even moved his eyes to look at her.

Her eyes shone with gleam and lust. She could not help but shiver with anticipation as she thought about the night.

Hiding the evil glint, she placed a shy smile on her face, "my lord, aunt told me that you are tired and hungry." her face filled with concern and she pouted her lips, "why did you not tell me? I would have cooked my best meal for you." 

She took slow and confident steps towards the sofa and laid the food there. Then she turned and picked up the glass of wine from the table and smiled at Leo who had not even spared her a single glance. But it did not affect her mood even a bit.

He could show her all the arrogance he had! But after tonight, he would be hers and then he would have nowhere to go.

She gently placed the wine in front of him and then walked behind him. Her hands were placed on his shoulders and then she pressed them.

"My lord, let me message you a bit. You seem too tired. Let me help you with your stress!" Her voice was soft and seductive. Any man would have closed his eyes and enjoyed the special treatment the beautiful girl was giving her.

Leo tilted his head and looked at the girl that was standing behind him. His eyes had a misty and tired look yet he said nothing when she touched him. He just gazed into her eyes that only increased her confidence.

A sultry smile formed on her lips as she bent her hands and the thin strap of her shoulder fell, making her collarbone bare. 

She bit her lips seductively as she started pressing his shoulders, "Leo, why don't you take a sip of the drink and relax your muscles. I will help you with the massage." he nodded silently as he held the glass in his hands and sniffed the drink.

But his eyes glowed when the fragrance filled his nostrils. His lips curled upward as his fingered started tracing the tip of the glass leisurely.

She bit her lips with anticipation as she looked at his hands. Just a few more seconds then he would go completely crazy for her. With that thought she was already on cloud nine.

She could smell her victory that was just a few sips away. She looked at the maids with a glare and they all seemed to cower.

"Could you not see that my lord wants some peace and rest. What are you standing here for? Leave the room and do not disturb us until you are called!" her tone was authoritative and cold like Gabriella and they all turned to look at Leo who had already closed his eyes. His legs were crossed and his straight figure was already leaning on the chair with a tired and lazy face. 

"Mmm '' He passed a lazy glance at them and nodded his head as he finally took a sip of the drink, surprising all the servants who had thought that he would once again insult the girl and ask her to leave the room.

The servants looked at each other but bowed their heads and left the room silently. While her face shone with the victory as her hands continued to move on his shoulders in a sensual manner.

"Shall i pour more wine, Leo" 

In the kitchen,

Evan splashed cold water over her face to feel better. But she was perplexed by what had suddenly happened to her. It felt like her senses were getting dull and heat was rising in her body.

Biting her lips she shook her head as she went and stirred her pasta that had started to stick on the bottom.

"Sigh, now it will not taste good." She lamented when she finally understood that her state turned hazy when she tasted the soup cooked by Aurora.

The proud smirk of Aurora filled with evil glint when she took the tray of food up to Leo's room flashed past her eyes. "Damn the girl had mixed something in his food." 

When the thought crossed her mind, she switched off the stove and ran towards the stairs.

She even forgot to knock before opening the door with a beam. The sound was enough to surprise the man and woman in the room when both of their gazes moved to the door.

Evan was standing there with a layer of precipitation on her face and her chest was heaving up and down when she looked straight at the office table where Leo usually sits. Her face was filled with worry as she entered in without even greeting him properly.

"My lord, have you tasted the meal already?"
