Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 495 [Bonus Chapter] Increasing Heat!(Chapter Preview)

The cold water on her skin finally doused the fire taking place in her heart and body.

The moment Evelyn came back to her room, she took out her clothes and entered the bathtub filled with cold water. She did not even wait for the maids to come and help her in washing herself.

She had felt like her body was on fire. Her hands instinctively reached for her lips that still have some warmth lingering from his mouth.

The touch of his coarse tongue could still be felt in her mouth. And her heart..! She did not want to imagine how it would have burst if she continued to stand there.

In Spite of all that, she was proud! Proud that she did not give in. if he wanted to win her heart, he had put some effort in. thinking that she would swoon on him because of his looks and charisma was just his illusion. If he thought that he was a prince charming of a kingdom then she was no less than a queen!

In the end he had to bow down to her.

Taking her own sweet time in the water, she walked out and covered her body only with a towel when she realized that she had not brought any cloth to change into.

Since her maids had always taken care of those things, the mistake was bound to happen.

"Well! Who cares! I will just go to the room and change there!" she shrugged her shoulders and she wrapped the towel properly over her body and then tied her wet hairs in a messy bun and walked towards her room leaving the traces of her wet heels all over the carpet.

Opening her closet shoes shuffled the dresses. Suddenly she wanted to dress up elegantly. A dress that would highlight her assets but did not reveal anything.

It would let anyone's imagination go wild to know what was underneath. With a smug look on her face, she took out the dress when she heard the knock on the door.

"Finally!" she took a breath of relief and she stared at the ceiling. She had thought her maids were not going to come back since she had scolded them but finally they realized that she still needed them.

Well, she would explain to them why she behaved like that.

"Yes, come in, please. And help me in getting dre…" she heard the door opening but the steps halted on the door and did not come any closer so she frowned and turned to look at the door when her eyes widened and the words died in her mouth.

The dress she was holding in her hands, fell on the carpet and the water dripping from her body and hair started to make a wet stain on it.

"What.. what are you doing here?" finding the voice back in her throat, she pointed her fingers at the man with a look of accusation on her face.

Chris blinked. His Adam apple bobbed up and down as he gulped his own saliva while he could feel steam releasing from his body with the sudden increase in the temperature of the room.

He was so startled to find her standing in front of him in a towel that was hardly covering her thighs and had an ample look of her plump breasts that he did not notice he was still standing there and staring at her brazenly instead of leaving the room like a gentleman.

Gentleman! Who was he lying to! She was the woman who he was in love with. He would even accept death if she wanted to kill him later but could not leave the chance to admire her.

"I.. I came to apologize to you. I continued to stand in the garden for a long time in a dilemma but in the end, I just couldn't let that unnerving feeling go.

I do not like what I can not understand and explain. And the situation in the garden was both..

I only kissed you to show my feelings but it turned out like a bet.. And then you kissed me.. Though.. But it still made me fall in love with you all over again.

Evelyn i.."

"Seriously.. Can you not see me or my condition? Are you going to stand there and explain yourself when I am just wrapped in a towel?" the nerve of this man? Could he not take the hint and leave after apologizing instead of giving her a one page speech on how he felt guilty yet he liked the kiss.

She wanted to bend and pick up the dress but she was not sure if it would affect her towel since it was not wrapped that tightly.

And if she wanted to take out another dress she had to turn and walk back but she could not dare to turn her back on the man. Who knows what he would do when he gets the chance!

"Oh!"

Oh! Oh! Damn oh! What in the world did he even mean by that oh! All the nerves of her head popped open and she found herself glaring further at him.

"What do you mean by that oh! Don't you think you are being too.." brazen! Hooligan! Shameless! More than hundreds curses went through her mind when the man nodded and completed the sentence..

"Unfair! I know." he nodded his head as he took a step in.

"When I kissed you in the garden, you kissed me back to make it fair.

And now you are standing in the towel while I am standing well dressed in front of you.

It is only right that you find it unfair. So, to make it fair, why don't you pass me a towel so that I could take off all my clothes. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Then you will be able to see my assets too and make it fair for you. Or.. you want an advantage and I could leave only my underwear on my body instead of a towel?"

"............"
