The little female huddled in his arms, a small bundle, her toes curling slightly at the Duke's touch.
The sound of the rain was a constant drone.
The Duke cupped her rabbit tail in his palm, toying with it as he pleased.
Yu Zhizhi felt her cheeks burn.
"D-Duke, you can't…"
Her voice trembled as she pressed her hands against the man's chest, as if trying to push him away. The Duke didn't stop; his golden, serpentine pupils only grew deeper.
"Why not?"
"Is it because of the shark? Or the mermaid?"
"Or—"
"Is it the Lord of Paradise, who entered a public pact with you?"
'His little rabbit was never like this before.'
'She used to love snuggling into his embrace, finding any way she could to seduce him.'
'Before he met her, the Duke had no interest in procreation. At first, he only wanted to help her through her heat.'
'He never expected things to get so out of hand.'
The Duke brushed the hair from her neck, lowered his head, and bit down.
He didn't use much force.
