The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- 394.

TAMING THE WILD BEAST DUKE THESIO Back on the first floor, I walked toward the lounge.

I pushed the door open and found her standing there, gazing at the garden through the window.

My eyes drifted to the tight dress she was wearingbold, just like everything about her.

The sexy curves of her hips and ass had me imagining all sorts of pleasurable madness under my bedsheets.

"Darling, have I taken too long?" I shut the door and approached her with a firm stride.

She turned around, flashing me a flirtatious smile.

"No, Your Lordship, it was just a short wait." Itook her by the shoulders and leaned in to kiss her cheeks.

As always, my lips lingered close to the corners of her mouth, right on the verge of claiming those luscious lips.

Brenda would usually turn her head awaytonight, she let me have my way "Did they treat you well? What brings you here so suddenly? Come, sit..." "No, wait, Thesio." She held onto my hand, refusing to sit.

---- "J'm not a woman who beats around the bush.

I'm here today to give you an answer to your proposal, which I hope still stands as a marriage offer." She spoke, and I could see the nervous tremor in her fingers.

Leaning back as I took a seat on the couch in front of her, I sprawled out lazily, resting my arms over the backrest.

For the first time, I felt like the dominant one in this little game we had been playing for far too long "Yes, the proposal was for marriage.

I've never lied to you.

My wish has always been for you to become my Duchess." I nodded, feeling like Thad the trophy in my hands as I caught the sparkle in her eyes.

"But, Brenda, after so many refusals and rejections, you must understand that Im no longer as eager about you as I once was." I kept my expression indifferent, masking my intense desires, now taking advantage of the fact that she needed me.

I knew damn well that Elliot must have kicked her to the curb, which was why she was here now.

"Besides, you show up all of a sudden...

Did the Duke of Everhart send you to spy on me?" "No!" she snapped instantly.

Her anger was evident, which only confirmed my suspicions.

That's over for good.

I realized that man isnt even worthy to kiss your boots.

I refuse to be 'the other woman anymoreI deserve ---- to be a wife." "Oh, really? And what makes you think Tm still willing to pick you up after all this? I have my pride too, Sapphire." Then, I'll just have to prove to you how far Im willing to go..." she purred, dragging out her words.
