Chapter 105. Have You Gained Weight? (1)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Ishakan just looked at Leah’s flushed face. He always behaved the same way. He could have spoken normally, but he refused to do so unless she asked first. And once again, she had no choice to insist, to make him clarify what he had just said.

“What…what did you mean?” she asked, and then closed her eyes tightly, embarrassed. The question sounded so stupid, she should have expressed herself more elegantly, more gracefully. Her face was so hot she could feel the blood rising to the tips of her ears.

And even after a few moments, Ishakan still did not respond. She opened her eyes slowly to find him staring at her, unblinking, as if he were looking at the most appetizing prey in the land.

“You’re very pretty,” he murmured.

Leah shuddered. If she acted any cuter, he was going to devour her whole, chewing her to the bone. She inhaled deeply and his arms tightened around her, his hands beginning to caress her. He bit her, small bites, occasionally sucking on her sensitive skin, and Leah remained dazed, clutching the cookies in her hand.

There was a faint whistling sound in the distance. Ishakan stopped, frowning. “Now I really have to go,” he sighed. “Don’t be surprised if Morga shows up.”

Leah snapped out of her daze. It was the first time she had heard that name, but she supposed Ishakan must be referring to the long-haired Kurkan man she had seen earlier.

“He can cast spells. He’s pretty good. His personality is a little strange, but…” Ishakan paused. “Anyway, I’m going to go.” He lifted her up and gave her a quick kiss, smiling mischievously. “I’ll be sure to pay you back for your handkerchief. Wait for that moment.”

Leah only had time to blink before he disappeared as quickly as he had appeared. Left behind and dismayed, she sat down on the couch. The cookies in her hand fell to the floor.

After many long moments, a sigh escaped her. It all seemed unreal, as if a huge wave had rushed over her and swept her away. She laid the back of her hand against her cheeks and realized that she was still heated. Leah drew several deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling.

Her mind was filled with strange thoughts. She was trying to contain her heart, but the feelings inside her were roaring louder and louder, churning like a fresh-caught fish, struggling to escape. They were overwhelming. She couldn’t control them. She kept hearing Ishakan’s words.

Suddenly, a voice spoke from outside.

“Princess.” Countess Melissa spoke, and Leah felt as if ice water had been poured over her. Her turmoil subsided. She had to go hawk hunting with Cerdina, and she had forgotten all about it.
