Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 148 - Oh My Poor Leo!!

  "My lord, a beautiful lady is in your room suffering from an aphrodisiac and yet you want to read about the bills and budget and plan the expenditure rather than helping her in feeling better! boss, are you bent on the other side?" All the pent up frustration of Leo knew no bounds when he heard the words of his aide!

He shot daggers from his gaze and his voice turned several degrees colder when he looked at his aide and asked, "why don't you come in and i will prove to you whether i am bent or not!"

When the meaning of the words sunk into the mind of his aide. He took a step back and shook his head like a rattle drum, "no! No! You need not! Why shall you prove your orientation to a small servant like me. Hehehe" he laughed awkwardly as he took another step back when Leo did not reply.

Damn! He was going to get married soon. He did not want to be the lamb of sacrifice just to be clear about the likes and dislikes of his master. Leo was pleased to like anyone if he was not one of them.

"I think I shall go and bring the papers first. I shall not keep the master waiting." he dashed away by jumping two or more stairs at a time as if he had seen a ghost behind him and wanted to run away at full speed.

Leo continued to look at the empty space in the hall for a long time. What an antidote! What help! The girl did not even think of it as an option when she bore that extreme heat! The sound of her small moans and running of water could be faintly heard by his bitter heart but all he could do was bear with this torment.

Soon his aide returned with a large bundle of parchments. The files were too much work and mostly the aide helped Leo in reading and calculating the minor expenses while Leo only handled the major expenses and managing armory and horses. But when the aide was about to sit, Leo passed him a frosty glare that was telling you will not come back alive from this room if you dared to sit down.

"Then.. then I shall be leaving. Call me if you need anything else or want me to help you in the work.'' He stood up and bowed his head as the sweat broke on his forehead.

Leo's gaze flickered for a second but then he shook his head and the aide bowed and left.

The sound of water continued to torment his ears, as Leo tried his best to concentrate on the work in his hands. But an eternity passed yet he was not able to do a small calculation. So he gave up on that and started reading the records of the weapons brought last year.

Finally his mind calmed a bit and he felt the image getting blurry in his mind when a small scream took his attention back towards the girl who was in his bathtub.

"Aah, Leo, Leo.." the sound was filled with panic and for a second Leo forgot to take a breath. He let go of all the parchments in his hand and ran towards the door, but his steps halted when he reached the knob of the door. He felt hesitated in going in.

"Leo Leo.." but her panicked voice did not stop which created panic in him too.

He let go of the hesitation when the matter of her safety rang in his mind. He opened the door of the bathroom and asked the girl in a worried tone.

"I am here. I am here. Do not worry. Tell me, are you feeling more pain!" with that thought, his eyes filled with killing intent. He would make sure to torment Aurora before killing her. 

"My hands and legs are getting numb and the muscles of my legs ache. Help me please." her aggrieved tone came with a pout on her face.

"..........." he was both relieved and annoyed at her tone but he resigned to his fate and looked at the girl but his eyes darkened instantly.

  As the water was cold, her wet clothes were turned transparent and could be easily seen through. Her corset was like a flimsy layer stuck on her body that was making her figure more clear. His mouth ran dry and his Adam apple moved as he gulped. Though he had only a small sip of the wine, the visuals were amplifying its effect and the torment he was going through was more than the girl was suffering.

'At least she could scream and sob' he shook his head and sat beside the bathtub when his eyes fell on her white and face that had lost all its color. She winced as she even tried to move and a small scream escaped her lips,

"Aah, Leo it is hurting too much." He knew that she was being too sensitive due to the drug now. So, he could only give in to her pleas and sat there. 

"Which leg are you feeling pain in?" he asked, trying his best to calm down and behave normally. 

"Both legs, Leo. It is too painful!!"

He held her ankle from one hand and stretched and messaged her feet with the other hand. His eyes darkened  But her wet and soft body was so smooth and tender that he could not help but froze whenever his hands touched her. His moments were so stiff that rather than making her feel better, it felt like he was beating her.

"Ouchh, Leo! It hurts more now!" his gulped and closed eyes, thinking the same logic as hers, out of sight will be out of mind. But it only increased his sharpened senses as his hand traced her legs. His fingers were already pressing up to her knees. 

"A bit higher, Leo."
