Ilyin clenched her fists as she didn't expect Aden to believe her.
She couldn't see the expression on his face and stopped herself from looking in the direction where his voice was coming from.
She managed to look the other way.
“What did you see in your dream?” he asked.
Ilyin turned around, as he was still unsure whether he could look at him or not.
However, Aden interpreted his movements:
“Ah, I questioned you too much.”
He placed his hand under her shoulder while she still avoided his gaze.
Ilyin gasped as he lifted her body and turned her around before having her sit on his lap, she blushed when she felt his erection even more directly, her dress had slid down and she felt his member on her skin.
“You won’t see my eyes in this position.” he said.
Ilyin blinked, with a soft murmur of agreement that he wouldn't see hers either.
She heard his breathing that came to her in silent gusts:
“Are you more comfortable now?”
She nodded and heard laughter in her ears, his hands were big enough to cover much of her skin and she felt how big he was as she sat on him and their bodies moved closer together as he hugged her shoulder.
“Do you believe me?” Ilyin couldn't help but ask and Aden's hands roamed freely as he seemed to search for the right answer.
It seemed like he was taking forever and she waited with bated breath for his response.
Where the heat of his breath touched her neck, her body became damp, as if she was in a cold sweat.
Ilyin was about to raise his hand to rub his arms when Aden gently patted his shoulder.
She heard his even breathing and he spoke as he brought her closer to him:
“You have no reason to lie to me.”
That is true.
Ilyin lowered his gaze.
Aden would know that she had no intention of returning to Arlen's estate if he looked into her background and that would also mean that he knew that Ilyin cared about her life here much more than she let on, Aden was right.
Ilyin had no reason to lie, but she was worried about being labeled a liar regardless.
“I'm still curious, but it looks like today's chance is over,” he said.
Ilyin's eyes widened as she knew she hadn't questioned him yet and Aden let out a low laugh as he sensed her surprise.
“You asked me if I believed you.” Ilyin opened her mouth when she felt deceived, but the duke smiled again:
"Okay, I'll ask again.
What did you see in that dream?"
He must have been curious to take back his words so quickly and Aden buried his face in her shoulder.
Her body trembled as his touch was much more direct and intense than when they were facing each other.
He used the arm he hugged her with to move down from her breast to her waist and his other hand was on the inside of her thigh.
His finger brushed her sensitive spots as if he wanted to dazzle her and Ilyin's cheeks turned blood red.
“An avalanche ambushed the Delrose knights…” Ilyin knew his words were jumbled, but Aden’s breath was on his body.
His touch was gentle as if telling her he didn't suspect her and Ilyin felt the heat where she was already wet.
“Ah…!”
His hand circled her most secret place and he slid a finger inside her, brushing her juices before snatching her clit and she arched her back in pleasure.
“The knights?” He waited for her answer patiently and Ilyin let out a short sigh.
Aden moved her slightly and she felt him on her thigh again.
Ilyin tried to think about the dream.
The riders looked surprised as the avalanche approached them quickly as if it were alive, and she remembered seeing Den in front of them.
“Is he okay?” she asked.
Ilyin's question stopped the Duke's movement and his voice was low as he replied:
“Who?”
“Are you thinking about someone else?” He whispered as he nibbled on her ear, and she shivered when he covered her eyes with his hand as he turned her around.
Ilyin felt his arms support her as his erection was about to penetrate her and he slid into her slightly and his member touched her where she was most vulnerable.
