Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 168 - Delusions Of Leo

Evan was sitting dazed in her room.

"Have you already done it?"

"What made you think that I will share my and my fiance's personal life with you?" the words echoed in her brain like an alarm bell. She was not able to get rid of the sound no matter what!

She slumped on her bed and closed her eyes, "no! It was all because he wanted to get rid of Aurora and wanted to teach a lesson to his aunt too!" she muttered but still she was not able to control the funny feeling in her body.

She could feel her erratic heartbeat and his regal face was flashing in front of her eyes like crazies!

She sat up in an instant when she felt herself swooning over his figure. Was the antidote not effective? Leo had promised that she would be normal once she would wake up then was it that she was still feeling his smell on her body and he was still teasing her with that devilish smile of his?

She must be possessed! She shook her head and stood up from her bed as if beasts were chasing her. She ran towards the bathroom and jumped into the cold bathtub again.

The water soothed her nerves a bit and she sighed. Did she have to spend all her time in the bathtub to get rid of his presence in her life? 

"Achoo!" the cold started affecting her body and she sneezed hard!

"Achoo!" another sneeze left before she could even take a breath. She rubbed her red and swollen nose when she heard a cold voice behind her.

"What are you doing in the cold water when you are feeling this cold?" she jumped at her place as her eyes widened when she saw him standing behind her.

"What!! What are you doing in here!?"" she asked, horrified, as she dipped further into the water. Though the layer of the water was covered with rose petals, she still felt embarrassed  with his presence as the event of last night started filling her mind.

She could not believe that she had not adjusted her dress and continued to take cold baths in room in his presence and even dared to ask him to massage her legs and he had massaged her tights brazenly. She had lost all her mind last night

The more she think about the events of the last night, the more she felt like digging a hole and hide unto it.,

"You! You better leave the bath before I scream for help" she shouted as she looked at the man who was standing behind her. But her eyes widened when the space was empty.

She looked left and right and back of her hastily but no one was there as if the person had vanished completely. 

"Was it just my illusion?" she mumbled with horror. It would be devastating if he had started to torment her in her dreams too! No! No! She splashed the cold water over her face again and again to calm the heat that was rising on her cheeks.

How much time had passed, she finally came out of the bathtub when her skin started to wrinkle and her sneezes did not stop. 

"Are you trying to run away from me, huh?" her steps halted when she came out of the bathtub only to see him standing in front of the towel rack.

Her whole body froze and she wrapped her one hand on breasts and other hands on her lower region when she saw his lustful face.

"Anchoo." The cold wind from the window shook her and she sneezed hard, covering her face with her mouth but when she let go of her face and looked in front of her again, there was no one. 

"Sigh!!" her shoulders felt in defeat when she realised that she could not get rid of his presence. He was all over her.

The way he had taken her side and protected her today! And the way he had taken care of her last night! She could not let go of that from her mind. 

"I think I shall go to the physician and ask for one more dose of the antidote." she replied with a defeated look on her face and took two towels from the rack.

She wrapped the towel and dragged her exhausted body out from the bathroom as a cold wind started to hit her skin. 

"Why the hell are you wrapped in a towel at this time when you have a cold??" she turned only to find Leo standing there widened eyes and red face and snorted. Without giving him another look she turned towards her closet and started shuffling her dresses to find an appropriate one.

She was not going to believe in his presence anymore. This one was not even realistic with that widened eyes and red face. Leo only had a cold face and frosty eyes. 

Leo was stunned when he saw her wet body. Water was slowly dripping from her face on her slender and bare neck and collarbones. She was looking enchanting that he could not take his eyes off her but at the same time he felt too embarrassed.

He regretted entering into the room without her permission and even asking the maids to leave the room, afraid that she would shout or create a scene. but who would have thought that she would be taking a bath at this point of time even when she was sick. Her face had turned red and her eyes had turned glassy. The way her body was shivering, he wanted to move forward and held her but at the same time he was worried that she would take him as pervert.

Or was she suffering from the side effects of last night? But what shocked him was she did not even spare him a glance and turned towards the other side as if he was not standing there.

"Wait! What are you doing?"
