Chapter 129 - Wax

"My love, let's get back to sleep."

Theodore spoke in such a smooth voice that no matter how hurt Adeline was feeling right now, she wanted to nod her head. But she restrained herself from replying to him.

Theodore didn't wait for Adeline to agree to him though. He pulled Adeline by her waist and was about to carry her back to her room.

Every little touch from Theodore was making Adeline remember their time together earlier. She was ready to forgive him and let him take her back to her bed. But something called self-respect tugged her and Adeline threw his hands away from her. She was not going to let him crawl back to her right after seeing him with another woman.

Adeline hissed while trying to suppress her voice so as not to wake any guards or maids. "Don't you dare touch me with those same hands that touched that woman earlier.."

Theodore chuckled at that baseless accusation from that jealous little bunny and whispered, "Adeline! Did you see me touching that woman inappropriately? I was standing a foot away from her."

"Touching that woman inappropriately? So you do agree that you had touched her?" Adeline was now fumed. She turned on her heels and then began to run towards her room. She wanted to get away from him before she would feel like melting in his sturdy arms.

Theodore puckered his lips and teleported himself to Adeline's room. He obviously got there before Adeline. He didn't want Adeline to run away again after seeing him, he knew how stubborn she was. So he decided to wait for her by hiding himself in one corner of her room.

Adeline came running to her room and hastily locked the door behind her. For a while, she had forgotten that Theodore had several ways to get inside her room other than that door. In fact, he barely used the door to come in.

Then she went straight towards her bed. She was about to throw herself on the bed but Theodore sneaked up on her and then hugged her from behind. "Are you still angry with me, little human?"

His last two words reminded her that she was just a mere human with no extraordinary features like that of that woman earlier.

She tried to break free from Theodore's grasp while speaking her mind out, "Just go to that woman with horns and tail. I didn't know that you were into those sorts of things. If I had known earlier then I would have grown a few horns for you. Since I don't have any, feel free to go to that woman in the middle of the night."

Though her words were harsh, Theodore was enjoying seeing her like that. She would always act shy and would try to push him away, especially when they were around Theodore's followers. But today, she was willing to fight with that succubus to claim him for herself. Hell, she was even willing to fight him just because she saw him talking with someone else.

However, he didn't want Adeline to be angry with him any longer. So he removed Adeline's hair away from her neck and slowly leaned down, brushing her neck with his hot breath.

Theodore softly kissed Adeline on her neck and apologized, "I'm sorry! Something came up in the middle of the night and I had to talk with her. Had I known that you would be this mad at me then I would have woken you up and informed you before leaving."

Adeline wanted to stay mad at Theodore but his one kiss had somewhat weakened her resolve. But she was still not giving up with her interrogation, "What was so important that you had to see her at night? Couldn't you have waited till the morning to meet that seducer?"

"No, I had to meet her at this hour. We are the creatures of the night after all. I changed my routine only after meeting you." Theodore playfully nibbled on her neck again.

But Adeline managed to get out of Theodore's hold. She was hell-bent on having a fight with Theodore today. "Creatures of night? Changed your routine? What else do I not know, Theodore? What else have you kept from me?"

Rather than answering her childish questions, Theodore thought of a perfect solution to keep Adeline's mouth shut, or wide open, depending on her reaction.

Theodore yawned and then stretched his arms. "I am feeling so sleepy. Is it okay if we talk about this tomorrow?"

But without even giving her a chance to reply, Theodore looked down to see his stiff outfit and clicked his tongue in disappointment, "Oh, Hell! I don't have my robe to change into." He acted as though he hadn't slept in that same outfit just a while ago.

He puckered his lips and then shrugged his shoulders, "I guess I will just have to sleep without my clothes on. These are way too heavy and hot to sleep in."

Then Theodore proceeded to take off his clothes on his upper body before Adeline could even open her mouth to stop him from doing so.

Adeline had vowed to herself that she wouldn't be forgiving him today. He was not allowed to meet any woman in the middle of the night no matter how urgent the job was. He was supposed to dedicate his whole night to her. He was supposed to give undivided attention to her.

She was not going to allow Theodore to give even a second of his night to any other woman. She had to teach him a lesson by getting so angry with him that he wouldn't even think of deserting her alone on the bed from now on.

But no matter how hard she was trying to get angry with him, the arousing view in front of her was making her vow to meltdown like wax. Adeline was left speechless when she saw that magnificent body of his, even though this wasn't her first time seeing him that way.

Everything about his body was so inviting that it was making her hard to focus on her anger. His skin looked so smooth that she wanted to bury her face on him and sniff his arousing scent.

His toned muscles made her want to run her hands all over him. She wanted to press her lips on his chest and his stomach. She wanted to squeeze his biceps and bite them, leave marks of her teeth on them.

She wanted him, she wanted to touch him. No, not just touch, she wanted to devour him. She wanted to run her hands, her lips, and even her tongue all over his body.
