A faint grimace briefly marred the icy nobility of the duke's features as he unfolded the piece of paper handed to him by his friend's wife. This, if nothing else, should teach him tostopplaying poker with his friends. They had been playing for years and years, and not only did he always lose, but his losses almost always involved the most despicable consequences.
And tonight's task was no different, with the 5th Duke of Flanders (as well as being obsessively referred to asEngland's #1 Heartthrobon the Internet) currently reduced into playing the role of nursemaid to Saffi's babies. As for the worst thing about all of this?
Those damn babies weren't even humans...but fish.
And not just ordinary ones at that, but fish that werepregnant.
Pregnant fish that Staffan's wife unfortunately also happened toadorewith all of her heart and soul, and so it was now Rathe's duty to make sure that herenceintepets would not go hungry while the newlyweds were on their honeymoon.
It took only moments for the duke to locate Saffi's room in the dorm—-and only seconds to realize that maybe this day wasn't going to be as bad as he thought.
A girl who seemed to be about Saffi's age had just stepped out into the hallway, and she was the curviest little thing. When her gaze collided with his, the expression on her face was an adorable mixture of awkwardness and shyness, and he was also silently amused by the way her glasses, which were a little too big, kept falling over her nose.
Rathe normally wouldn't hesitate to describe such a person as eccentric...but she was notjustthat considering how her choice for sleepwear seemed patterned after every hot-blooded male's fantasy. The combination of silk and lace was decadent and demure at the same time: the top had a plunging neckline that revealed most of her gloriously plump tits while its matching pair of shorts were just an inch shy from revealing the pale flesh of her pussy.
One look, and he wanted her then and there, and he wanted her even more as she hugged herself in a belated and seemingly sincere attempt to cover her chest. Her expression had also changed; she looked at him as if she was preparing to face down the Devil himself.
The Devil...being him.
She suddenly started to speak, and it took a moment for Rathe to realize that she was asking him about Saffi'sbabies.
"You know Saffi then?" he questioned.
"I w-was told t-to give you something..."
She disappeared into her room in a blink, and he was disconcerted to feel an irrational sense of emptiness.
What the hell?
She came back out, and Rathe could actually feel the tension easing out of his form.
What the fucking hell?
She held out a key to him, but Rathe only glanced at it before asking, "What's your name?"
Her expression turned frustrated, but Rathe persisted in asking this again until she finally stammered in reply.
Mary.
He indicated the door behind her. "And that's your room?"
She nodded, her gaze turning confused...and then stunned as Rathe slowly moved forward.
Her eyes widened as he kept moving forward...and she was forced to walk backward into her room.
Rathe followed her inside and locked the door behind her before turning to face her again.
Mary was shaking with visible fear, but the nipples under the sheer fabric of her top were also delightfully puckered.
He closed the distance between them, took the key in her hand to pocket it, and afterwards he finally cupped her chin and did what he had wanted to do from the very start.
Fuck.
Her mouth was pure, sweet fire. It was the most deliciously hot kiss...but it didn't even last more than a second, with Mary gasping against his lips before taking him by surprise as she shoved him away and ran out of her own room without looking back.
