The bed that was supposed to be used to nurse him had already become a space for her to be laid bare under him while waiting to be devoured in no time. Even though she realized that the sensation, which she felt in her lower stomach was ultimately wrong, she still couldn’t help but to crave more of his touch.

“We’re getting married later anyway.”

He smiled sweetly as he kissed Vivian’s lips.

Aah… Vivian was weeping inside. The Grand Duke didn’t have the slightest idea that even within a dream, she was never the fiancée whom he swore to marry. She was but a mere stranger.

How would he react if he knew how I wasn’t the Young Countess, but just the maid who works for her? Would he look at me with scornful eyes? Or would he be furious and immediately give me a severe punishment?

Vivian immediately cried as she moaned in her gradually heated body. Whatever kind of expression he might have, she still didn’t want him to show any sort of disappointment towards her.

When Vivian finally realized the reason she didn’t want to get caught was not because she was afraid for her life, but because she didn’t want to hear the Grand Duke’s voice of resentment—her face teared up instantly.

“Do you hate it to the point of crying?”

Knox immediately stopped his hands as he was flustered to see those tears on Vivian’s face. Nevertheless, she immediately reached out and locked his neck in her tight embrace.

“No! It’s not like that.”

What kind of feeling is this? Love? Yearning? Vivian couldn’t really find a definite answer. It wasn’t a feeling that she should have had in the first place, so it was ultimately wrong for her to pursue the answer.

If that was the case, Vivian then decided to enjoy what she couldn’t have possibly had, within this permitted time left. There was absolutely nothing wrong in enjoying the sweet dream she was having, until the time came when she had to wake up.

“…I’m happy, that’s why.”

Her bold remark had made Knox to widen his eyes even more.

“You’re bolder than usual today. Am I still dreaming right now?”

“Then, is this a nightmare or an auspicious dream for you?”

Knox’s lips immediately closed at Vivian’s question. He reached out his hand and softly caressed her cheeks.

Knox lowered his head before kissing her, all the while he was feeling her lump with his palm, that appeared much better than yesterday.

His lips had already found her soft tongue before swallowing it whole, but still, it didn’t know how to completely quench its thirst. It was as if Vivian’s whole body was an aphrodisiac as the more he had tasted it, the more he began to crave it.

It was utterly impossible for him to let go of her any longer now when he was already aware of the warmth which he had felt in the palms of his hands. Knox wanted to protect her unconditionally. He kept finding her, whom always tried to do her best for him despite never knowing how to protect her own self, to be further endearing.

Fuck, this is bad. At the same time, Knox had already felt rage burning in his lower body as he hurriedly moved his hands. He stroked her lips and breast with his thumb, which made Vivian’s back curve in response.

“I’m sure this is definitely a dream, which I never want to wake up from.”

Knox’s words had made Vivian exert enough strength through her hands that were still embracing him.

Those words are enough for me right now. Vivian, for the first time ever, raised her head and kissed his lips. Simultaneously, a surge of energy immediately filled his hands that were holding onto her waist.

Vivian’s sweet moan instantly echoed throughout the bedroom.

Knox’s hand then proceeded to open her legs wide when her body gradually relaxed.

The sudden embarrassment had created a response to cover up her private parts, but Knox’s soothing kiss had eventually made her hand move away.

Her space that was wide open permeated Knox’s blurred vision. Vivian’s moan was continuously leaking out because of the shame due to her love fluids that was oozing through her contracting folds.
