Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 41 – Delicious (1)

All her strength left her body. Like a cotton doll, weighed down by water, Leah collapsed into Ishakans arms.

Ishakan looked down at her and dipped his head. “Choose. What do you want to do now?” He asked.

A hot breath came out as soon as she opened her mouth. The clarity of her mind left her piece by piece, as the fever grew. Her original thoughts slowly disappeared into an abyss as her reason was replaced with honest desire.

Leah lifted her eyelashes and blinked silently. Her hand slightly trembled as she reached out and carefully grasped the hem of his clothes.

That alone was enough of an answer. Ishakan hugged Leah close to him and silently walked across the garden. Byun Gyeong-baeks servants were just around the corner, his rage could easily be heard.

“Get out here right now! You think you can hide?” He screamed in anger.

“Ill go easy on you if you come out now…!”

However, in the safety of the man holding her, Leah was not the slightest bit afraid. It was as if the noises that were directed at her were from another world. She felt like she was listening from inside a dream, the screams were faint and scattered from one ear to the other. This place was safe. The man holding her was protecting her inside her dream, and Leah leant a little more against him.

Ishakan stopped for a moment and glanced at Leah, then threw his eyes towards the side where Byun was shouting. With his eyes, he gestured above them, a smirk forming on his face. Leah heard the leaves rustle above their heads.

She was curious and wanted to look at what it was, but her head hung heavy. With the potion in her veins, she couldnt keep her body steady enough, the fever only adding up. Leah quietly wriggled uncomfortably.
