211 Moment of Weakness (1/2)

His face, his body, even the way he dressed… he was so her style!

Of course, she loved him in the deepest and most romantic way.

But she also couldn't deny her strong attraction to his physical body. Gosh, she wanted to run her hands all over his body. She wanted to kiss every inch of him. Goddammit, if she could, she would beg him to take her right there, right now.

She wouldn't mind doing it with him while she was against the wall.

Gosh, that would be so hot.

”My lady, are you sure that you don't remember me that way that I want you to?” Kiho said with a raised brow. ”If that's the case, then why are you looking at me like you want to do something lewd to me?”

His bluntness made her eyes widened in shock.

Once again, #RIP to my innocent Kiho.

”Gosh, Your Grace,” Tilly complained. Before she knew it, she was already lightly hitting his chest with her hands. ”How dare you accuse a lady of something so vulgar…”

She trailed-off when she realized how sturdy and broad Kiho's chest was.

Well, she was aware that he had a good body. She had thoroughly enjoyed it– in all her lifetimes, it seemed.

But she had been separated from him for five freaking years. Touching her husband's body for the first time after a long while fell both familiar and foreign to her. Still, overall, it was a very pleasant feeling.

Before she knew it, her palms were already pressed nicely against his hard chest.

Big tiddies.

Kiho, who obviously enjoyed her touch, closed his eyes tight and groaned lowly. ”More,” he whispered with desperation in his sexy, low voice. ”Do more to me, Tilly.”

Oh, god.

Her hands almost slid down to his crotch area.

Wake up, girl, she scolded herself. It's not the right time to be horny!

With a heavy heart, she had to pull her hands away from Kiho's sinful body (and big tiddies). Then, she hid her naughty hands behind her back.

She cleared her throat before she spoke. ”Your Grace, we can't do this,” she said even though it was hard for her to resist her husband's seduction. ”I know that you're my husband. But I don't really remember our past.”

Kiho opened his eyes, his golden orbs glowing with lust. ”I also don't remember our past but that doesn't mean that I have forgotten my feelings for you, Tilly,” he said softly. But the way he looked at her remained intense and sultry. ”May I suggest a way to help you confirm whether you don't really feel anything for me anymore?”

She'd admit that she already had an idea on what he'd suggest. Kiho would always be easy to read for her. But she wanted to hear it from his lips so she pretended to be clueless. ”What is it, Your Grace?”

That was so f*cking hot.

How could he ask that while still sounding so polite?

F*ck, I want him to devour my mouth.

Kiho's body was naturally cold so he didn't really emit warmth. But despite that, he could still make her feel so hot. It didn't help that she was trapped between the wall and his sexy body. Her knees were seriously on the verge of collapsing.

And yes, at that moment, her resolve was weakening.

If she could, she would drop everything to make him hers officially again.

Kiho's glowing gold eyes met her purple ones. This time, it wasn't just lust that she could see in his gaze. The yearning was very evident in his lonely eyes now. ”I miss you, Tilly.”

She almost broke down in tears.

Tilly was ready to throw away everything.

But thankfully, during her weakest moment, Aku Moonchester finally did something right for her: the kid emperor released a bloodlust strong enough to wake her and Kiho at the same time.

It was a reminder for both of them that it wasn't the time to act that way.

”F*ck,” Kiho whispered in annoyance, then he turned to the door adjacent to the next room. The bloodlust was coming from that chamber, which meant Aku Moonchester was there. ”His Majesty is summoning us.”

”He is, Your Grace,” Tilly agreed. While she was frustrated that her intimate moment Kiho was interrupted by the monster, she was still glad that Aku Moonchester made his presence known. It helped her clear her head. ”We shouldn't make the emperor wait or else, he might throw a tantrum.”

***

WHEN Luna brought back the lights in the ballroom, she wasn't surprised when the ”main characters” of the show were already gone.

Tilly and Duke Nystrom were nowhere to be found, the same with Aku Moonchester.

The only people left in the ballroom were the confused nobles who didn't have any idea of what exactly was going on. She heard most of them talk about the return of the duchess, while some of them looked for the Nystroms and His Majesty.

I need to go.

But when she was about to leave, she felt something prickled her skin. She would only feel that way whenever there was someone observing her in secret.

I hate this feeling.

She started to mingle with the crowd while discreetly looking for the direction where the gaze that was making her uncomfortable was coming from. When she was near the exit of the ballroom, she finally realized where the ”stalker” must have been hiding.

`Got you.

She abruptly stopped walking and turned around to look up at the balcony.

To be honest, she was fully expecting someone from Aku Moonchester's side. Perhaps, the Blue Dragon. She felt the Beast God's presence in there, but she hadn't seen him yet. And that was how she came up with the conclusion that it was Elis Ripperton who was watching her movements from afar.

But she was wrong.
