Chapter 180 Hungry

Lucinia burrowed her head into the sheets of her bed as she yawned. She rubbed all the reminders of sleepiness from her head before she froze. She opened her eyes slowly but immediately snapped them shut as her vision started to swirl around her. She opened her eyes once again before she blinked at the person lying next to her. Mo Li's leg that comfortably rested on her leg didn't help her at all. She stilled, the sleepiness that she felt earlier completely vanished as she stared at the man's side profile.

Mo Li looked like he was still sleeping. His eyes were closed, her lips slightly parted as his breathing was calm and rhythmic. Lucinia closed her eyes, she could feel heat travel through her neck. She wasn't even aware that vampires have the capability of blushing!

Relax. She chanted inwardly as she slowly eased her leg under him, removing it on top of her leg. Then she silently sat on the bed and examined the current dimly lit room. She looked at the articles of clothing — or at least what was left of the dress that she wore the other night, that was not silently sitting on the floor, flung away by the Duke when he got too impatient.

Pursing her lips, she collected the pieces of clothes and found one of his shirts. She used it to cover her naked body as she tried to look for her underwear. She couldn't even remember where did he threw it when he finally removed it the second time that they— satisfied each other's body.

Realizing that the small clothing was nowhere to be found, she made a few silent steps towards the door. Then she turned her head towards his sleeping frame. Under the shadow of the canopy, Mo Li's face looked really calm, at peace, and … beautiful. She stared at him, etching his sleeping frame into her brain before she finally opened the door and bolted out of his room.

Shaking her head, Lucinia strode towards the next room. Her gaze complicated, confusing even as she made sure to lock the bolts of her own door. What happened last night was…. Divine.

Who was she kidding? Mo Li sated her flesh, his body, his tongue, his… Lucinia covered her face and ran towards her bed. They had actually spent the whole night together, and they didn't just spend it on the bed.

They did it on the bath, on the carpet, against the walls. It seemed that every little space of his room had somehow found its purpose last night. Again, she felt her cheeks reddened. She couldn't forget about him.

"You left me…" She froze when she felt someone lay next to her bed. "Again." The Duke's voice was a little hoarse as he calmly pulled her towards his arm and hugged her waist. With his eyes still closed, the Duke kissed her forehead and added, "Just like that."

She immediately noticed that he was already wearing his trousers. "You are too fast…"

"I thought you like it… fast?" he asked as he lazily opened his eyes. A mischievous smile made his face looked relaxed, happier.

"How did you get it?"

"You left your window open."

She frowned. She was certain that she locked the window when the storm started last night. "What time is it now?"

"Does it matter?" He asked.

"I am hungry."

"For what?"

She elbowed him. "Why are you being so naughty?" she hissed and tried to get out of his embrace.

"I was seriously asking a question. Perhaps, I could give you something that you can eat. Not necessarily edible, but…" he laughed when she pinched his arms. However, instead of letting her go, Mo Li just hugged her tighter, pulling her closer to him. "Just like this…. for a few more minutes."

"I said, I am hungry."

"You can eat me."

"…" Was this man serious? "You must have forgotten. I don't drink blood."

"Hm? I honestly thought you love eating me. Last night that— "

"Nonsense!" Lucinia tried to get out of his embrace, and this time, the Duke loosen his arms around her. She sat on the bed and glared at him. Without saying anything, Lucinia walked towards her closet and chose a dress that she could wear.

"Turn around." She ordered. "I will change my clothes. Turn around." Of course, she completely understood the absurdity of her own request. Maybe it was the fact that she wanted to see his reaction or the fact that she is clearly a little… shy around him after what happened last night.

"I love seeing you naked." Mo Li ignored her words. Instead, he turned towards her as he rested his elbow on the bed, using it to support his head that was propped on his palm. Seeing her irritated expression, Mo Li chuckled and arrived in front of her in less than a second. "Why don't I help you wear your clothes?"

"That is not necessary, and thank you very much for your generous offer. I would really love it if you leave my room and stop coming in here."

"You really sound as if you didn't beg me to— "

"Shut it!" she hissed. She could easily subdue this man using her ability for she couldn't do it. For some reason, the thought of him suffering because of her seemed to make her sad. "Alright... you can help me." She was certain this was the only thing that would stop him from talking. However, a part of her seemed to know that this assumption was wrong. A part of her, the unknown part of her, knew that this would not end very well for her. She knew that she would at least stay inside this room for a few more minutes before she could have her dinner.

So, when Mo Li kissed her, she didn't push him away. Instead, she folded her arm around his neck as she tiptoed. Then he held her against the wall and made her cum for the umpteenth time in the last twenty- four hours.
