The Duchess's Dangerous Love Life

Chapter 134

He's... truly handsome.

What should I do?

There are probably only so many men in the Empire who are able to look this breathtakingly good in a white shirt.

And how the veins on his hand protrude slightly from holding the pen, Adele found it strangely sexy.

And the way he runs his fingers through his slightly damp hair, with traitorous strands framing his forehead that only added to his appeal...

Mmm.

Adele slowly closed her eyes as she reveled in his beauty.

From worrying about Noah's injuries and him not waking up, to finishing her tasks as the lady of the castle, and now watching him work... Slowly, her fatigue started to settle in and she soon fell asleep.

Feeling something unusual, Noah lifted up his head and saw her dozing off.

"Adele?"

He thought it was just his servant sitting on the sofa and thumbing through the papers. To think it was actually her?

Staring at the woman on the cushioned sofa and watching the subtle rise and fall of her chest, Noah slowly got up and carefully approached her.

When he sat down next to her, her features were magnified by his affectionate gaze that he could see every little detail about her. Especially the way her pink lips parted slightly whenever she exhales.

He unconsciously stroked her lips with his finger.

"Hmm... "

Adele let out a breath that sounded like a sigh.

Noah carefully lowered his head to check if he had gained courage. He then noticed her hair was damp, most probably from being washed, and he could detect the faint scent of flowers coming from her.

The gap between their lips gradually narrowed.

A soft, feather-light kiss followed. But soon, it increased in fervor and their tongues began to entangle as he invaded the inside of her mouth.

Adele wrapped her arms around his shoulders in a dream-like state, knowing it could only be her husband who would kiss her like this. But as he grabbed her own shoulder, she felt his hand tremble slightly and opened her eyes.

His eyes nervously glanced at her as it darted from left to right, and back at her.

"I-I didn't mean to... that is..."

"..."

He stammered, "A-as you said, w-we are a couple, so..."

"... "

"Damn it!" he cursed. "I'm so sorry, I went overboard."

Noah thought he had gone mad and blamed himself.

Even if she was his wife, it was only right to get her permission first before he touched her like this. He quickly got up from his bent position to distance himself from her.

Suddenly, Adele grabbed the hem of his shirt. "It's alright. I just... thought you already went back to your usual self."

"What?"

"Because you would often touch me like that."

"Even when you are sleeping?" When she nodded her head, Noah clenched his fists in shock and anger. "Did I really do that?"

"...yes."

"I mistreated you..."

How could I have done that?
