Chapter 193: 193: Too close
"Yes, my Lord," Eden spoke softly as he brought down his hands to take the cup.
He held the cup while staring right into Adrian’s eyes. His smile was soft as he raised the cup to meet Adrian’s lips.
Adrian took a sip from the cup that came close to his mouth and subsequently leaned closer to Eden’s face.
Eeden paused, his sharp eyes meeting Adrian’s eyes as Adrian’s lips came down to his. His lips were close—a little bit too close.
The only thing separating their lips was the veil Eden had on.
Eden’s eyes glared at Adrian while he cursed him in his mind.
What the hell does he think he’s doing right now?!
"My Lord, you haven’t finished the wine yet..." Eden said in a soft tone, still staring into Adrian’s eyes.
Their faces were so close that they could hear each other’s breath.
"Does it matter? I want to taste the wine from your lips... so why don’t you..." His words trailed off as his eyes narrowed down to Eden’s lips that hid beneath the veil.
Eden panicked. He didn’t know what to make of this scene or whatever this man was suggesting.
He was at least more than sure that he wasn’t sober, because his actions and words didn’t seem like those of one who was.
Eden could only conclude that he had been drugged.
Eden smiled softly now. "Is that so? Is that what you want?"
Adrian brought up his fingers to hold up Eden’s chin. He smiled. "Sure."
It was awkward. Eden couldn’t imagine himself kissing Adrian or even getting intimate with him right now, but he had no other choice.
People were watching. Most of the Marquis at the moment were obviously staring at them, making sure that they were enjoying themselves, making sure that their plans were falling into place.
So he too knew he had to play his part as the seductive dancer which they had hired.
"Sure..." Eden’s hand now began to wander as soon as he kept the cup of wine on the table. He ran his fingers along Adrian’s chin and brought it down his neck.
His fingers finally rested on Adrian’s chest as he slowly began unbuttoning the top part of his shirt. He smiled at Adrian as his fingers played across his bare chest, his eyes on Adrian, who was staring at him.
Adrian was feeling hot, and Eden could tell. That drug they had given him was to make him... well... horny?
And it was seemingly working, because he was staring lustfully at Eden. He wasn’t thinking straight at all. All he was probably thinking about was how to undress and make out with the person playing in front of him now.
"You’re feeling hot, my Lord..." Eden muttered, enough for Adrian and Mr. Hugo, who was standing close, to hear. "Do you want me to unbutton your dress for you?" His fingers were still running across his bare chest, circling the lines of his body.
Adrian smiled, his eyes fixed on Eden. "Sure. Do whatever you please..." His breath had gotten heavy, and his wet lips quavered for the person before him.
Eden smiled as his fingers slowly unbuttoned his shirt down. The middle part of his body was exposed, and he ran his fingers through it and down his abs while staring at his face.
He could hear Adrian let out a soft moan, one that was audible to him as he stared at his face.
The Marquis who watched casually laughed and cheered at the scene.
"It seems like our Grand Marquis is truly enjoying the lady he has obtained, even in broad daylight!" one laughed.
"He is enjoying the feeling so much that he doesn’t even bother restraining himself from taking whatever activity he has left inside," another laughed.
They laughed and discussed it as Eden’s eyes casually rested on Adrian’s expression. He read through him, looking at his aroused expression. He casually said to himself, "You horny bastard, you better keep that in now and don’t even think of going any further than this!"
But he thought wrong, because Adrian’s hands too began wandering. His hands moved to Eden’s back as he grabbed onto his waist, pulling him closer.
Eden found himself falling to Adrian’s bare chest as he held him tightly. He gasped softly as he stared up at his face. Adrian’s eyes were still down on him while his hands roamed across his waist.
His huge hands caressed his exposed waist while making their way down to his backside...
Eden stiffened, panic in his eyes as he said to himself, "Fuck! What the hell is he doing to me in broad daylight?! Do I really look like a prostitute to him?!"
He questioned as the thoughts of Lenny saying that he really looked like a prostitute flashed through his mind.
Adrian’s hands were still taking a trip around his waist, and all he did was bring his own hands down to hold onto Adrian’s hands.
"What’s wrong...? Do you wish to defy my orders?" Adrian questioned.
"No. I dare not do it. I just don’t think it’ll be appropriate out here..." Eden didn’t bother speaking logically to him, because he already could tell that at this moment, he wasn’t himself at all.
"Exactly," Marquis Dean said, chuckling softly as he took a drink and stared in their direction. "Since our Grand Marquis is enjoying himself so much, why don’t we give him the liberty to go and continue enjoying himself indoors?"
The other Marquis immediately agreed to this. Most were also in on this plan.
"Exactly. He should take the whole ladies to his room and enjoy it as much as possible!" one suggested.
"Exactly. Since he has taken a fancy to them, they all should be his for tonight. Who are we to fight for these ladies with our Grand Marquis?!" another laughed.
And so they all unanimously agreed to the idea of handing all the dancing ladies to Adrian to take to his room immediately without wasting time.
