Prologue

Oh, my head feels heavy.

She had no thought what the hell was occurring. Her head was throbbing as if she have been drunk, and her physique was so stiff and sore that she doubted if someone had crushed her someplace.

Somebody was urgent her physique. Annoyance rose over to the issues that had marred her candy morning.

She ultimately compelled herself to open her eyes, groaned, and stared blankly on the ceiling. The unfamiliar environment made her regain her senses swiftly.

The place am I?

It was a wierd place. Though it was clearly her type, it was one thing she had by no means seen earlier than. As quickly as she realized she couldn’t acknowledge it, her physique tightened with nervousness.

One thing was urgent her down. And this isn’t her room, both.

She rigorously lowered her head, and solely then did she discover out what was crushing her. It was the arm of a person with high-quality muscle groups.

She was mendacity in mattress with a person, not carrying a single thread.

Earlier than she might even take into consideration who the individual was, she tried to recall what the hell she had carried out final night time, however nothing got here to her as if a wall had blocked her reminiscence.

It was then. A deep-toned voice shook her half-awake senses, inflicting her to flinch.

“Sleep extra.”

It was a voice she’d by no means heard earlier than. Goosebumps flared up over her instantly. At that second, the arm urgent outdoors the blanket all of the sudden slid inside and hugged her tightly. Though the person’s physique temperature touching her again was heat, she continued to shiver.

Then, she heard that voice once more.

“Why are you awake already?”

“…….”

“Sleep extra. Aren’t you drained?”

She took an extended breath. No, I’m not like that. Other than the man casually hugging her bare physique, this isn’t like that!

“Who’re you?”

She gulped and requested rigorously. The person, then again, smiled flippantly, maybe as a result of he discovered her query amusing. And shortly, his lips—no matter they have been—brushed up in her neck.

“Who do you suppose?”

“…….”

“Or, who would you like it to be?”

The query seemed like a whisper of a beast. It was a tone that appeared to seize her by the throat.

After asking in such a threatening voice, the person stayed silent for some time. Quickly after, his lips moved away from her neck, and a candy voice rang out as soon as extra.

“Should you’re awake, are you able to present me your face?”

“…….”

“Are you the surprisingly shy sort?”

Uggh, why am I feeling this fashion?

Clearly, this man isn’t her sort.

In truth, she was itching to kick off the blanket and get off the bed straight away. She wished she might seize his neck and scream about what was occurring, however she couldn’t act rashly when she didn’t know who the opponent was. So she quietly lifted herself up. Her abdomen tightened, and she or he felt a lump in her throat. Her coronary heart was racing, and she or he felt like she was about to suffocate, however she compelled herself to take care of a peaceful demeanor and take a look at the person.

And…

“…….”

Okay, cancel what I simply mentioned. I take again that he wasn’t my sort.

She didn’t know what the hell she did final night time, however oh my, she’s actually wonderful. Oh my god, how did she sleep with this man?

The person narrowed his eyes, exuding a languid environment like a leopard. Black hair strewed throughout the pillow, golden eyes gazing immediately at me. Why does his nostril seem like it’s been sculpted? And oh my God, take a look at his lips. He looks as if a very good kisser.

She lowered her gaze and locked eyes with the person, utterly forgetting the best way to breathe.

Then, the nook of his lips rose up and opened his mouth.

“Why are you staring?”

The phrase “you’re so good-looking” got here dangerously near escaping her mouth—fortuitously, she shortly reins it in. Then she took a deep breath and thoroughly opened her mouth.

“Since you’re so good-looking.”

…… No, I instructed you to maintain it in. This snout!

The person paused at her reply, then reached out and hugged her abdomen once more.

Oh, my God, take a look at these thick arms! Ophelia, you haven’t wasted 18 years of your life!

The arms that had been holding her abdomen tightened and drew her again onto the mattress. Abruptly, the person received up and climbed up on prime of her along with his gaze fastened on her.

“Then maintain wanting.”

“Huh?”

“Preserve wanting. At present, tomorrow, or for the remainder of our lives.”

“…….”

“Should you like this face, I’ll dwell it as it’s for the remainder of our life, so don’t go wherever, don’t search for different bastards, simply keep right here.”

“…….”

“Keep subsequent to me.”

After he completed talking, he kissed my brow. With a wierd feeling tickling my insides, I forgot the best way to breathe and simply lay down blankly for a quick second.

One thing is significantly unsuitable right here. She has by no means seen this man earlier than.

In contrast to her, who was puzzled, the person acted as if he had recognized her for a very long time. So she simply stared into his golden eyes, blankly.

Oh, wait a minute… gold?

She’s fairly certain she heard it someplace. An individual with golden eyes…… Who was it, precisely? She frowned and contemplated for a second. However couldn’t discover a solution, so she ultimately returned her eyes to the person’s face once more.

It’s additionally essential how she ended up spending the night time with this man, however earlier than that, there’s one thing she has to examine.

With the person’s pensive stares at her, she asks quietly.

“…who’re you?”

The person contorted his face at her query. Whoa, that expression on that face is frighteningly enticing. Whereas ready for his reply with a lot admiration, he replied.

“Cease enjoying round.”

“I’m not kidding.”

“…….”

The person shunned expressing his displeasure along with her query. And took a deep breath.

“Yeah, you’re you in any case,”

“Me….?”

“That’s proper. You’re a merciless lady. I forgot that you simply’re not the kind of one that would give up her coronary heart to a person after an evening with him.”

………… Why do you sound so pitiful? Anybody who hears it should suppose I’m the world’s evilest lady.

The person mumbled and rose to his ft. Her eyes practically dropped open on the sight of his muscular higher torso unfold out in entrance of her instantly, and she or he barely suppressed her instincts and requested him tenaciously.

“Who’re you?”

“This isn’t humorous, Ophelia.”

He responded with a distorted expression. Nevertheless, Ophelia was severe. And, he should reply her query!

However, not like her impatience, the person seemed to be genuinely unaware of why she was asking. And with every phrase she uttered, his expression steadily hardened.

She ultimately yelled at him out of frustration.

“No, I’m not kidding. Who precisely are you?”

“If it’s one thing you don’t need to take duty for, simply say you didn’t prefer it. Don’t make enjoyable of me like that.”

“I’m not making enjoyable of you! I’m asking who you might be?”

“Did I actually do you that unhealthy? Dangerous sufficient that you simply need to lose your reminiscence?”

“What—what did you imply?”

She stuttered in response to his ferocious gaze. No, why is he looking at her like that? Did she stifle his pleasure in any manner?

He frowned and continued, utterly ignoring her query.

“So, these cubs are higher than me? How good are they? Did they do it ’til morning? Which bastard is the very best? Phillips? Tristan? Or Ed?”

“Who’re they?”

“Your paramours.”

……what?

She blinked blankly.

“Are you able to say it once more?”

“Why do you hate these bastards now? Is it time to alter?”

Paramours? Is it the form of paramour that you simply carry round as your lover?

……why would she have that?

She blinks, attempting to seem as harmless as attainable, earlier than opening her mouth.

“W-why would… I believe you’ve misunderstood one thing.”

“…….”

“I—I’m not that form of lady.”

“Not that form of lady?”

“I solely date one individual at a time…….”

She drew out her index finger and tried to emphasise that she, like a pine tree, would solely date one individual at a time, however it was futile. Even when she mentioned it in a dying voice, it didn’t seem to persuade the person within the slightest.

She solid a fast look at him after which took a go searching. She had no recollection of yesterday’s occasions as if she had misplaced her reminiscence. Why is she right here within the first place?

As she turned her head once more, her eyes met the person. His golden eyes have been shining very unusually. He was as ferocious as a wild beast, but in a cut up second, he regarded her within the eye with gentleness.

She met his gaze and opened her mouth.

“Uh, anyway, please clarify why I’m right here.”

“Why? Do I’ve to let you know why you’re in your personal residence?”

“Oh, take a look at this man. How did this turn out to be my residence? My house is the Imperial Palace.”

“…….”

The person’s face grew even worse. What’s unsuitable? Can’t she even say the place she lives now?

She gulped deeply. She was frightened he would assault her, and so she instantly ready to defend herself. Nevertheless, his eyes have been full of much more complicated feelings than hostility for some purpose.

Then, a wealthy male voice was heard.

“Do you bear in mind what occurred final night time?”
