My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 30: Some More Sleep

Chapter 30: Some More Sleep

Asher did not get up and slightly opened his eyes lazily. When he tried to flip to the other side and sleep again, he felt his back hurt like hell. Unintentionally, he let out a groan and completely pulled out from the daze.

He was completely awakened by the pain.

It took him some time to realise the surroundings as his memory was hazy. After recalling the last night, he blushed. Last night, he was definitely not in his right mind and didn’t have the time to think and be shy. But now he was in his right mind and couldn’t help but blush. The same went with the duke too.

The so-called monster was also feeling shy after what he did to Asher. Last night, they were like beasts in heat and had no idea what was going on as they bounced on each other. What now? They were in their right minds and felt embarrassed.

"Agh!"

Asher didn’t notice the maid at first. After getting up, he wiped his face violently and only then did he notice the maid staring at him.

"Ah! Head maid! I..."

He was suddenly speechless. What was he going to say? Would she say he seduced the duke? Would she look down on him? He was suddenly left in terror. It was not like he could talk about their deal. Alas, what deal? He was the duke’s servant and he was originally a slave following his orders, So the word deal did not suit considering his position.

He couldn’t tell anyone about this either way.

He had to keep that deal only between them...

"You are finally awake. The duke waited and waited but you slept so well. Let me call him."

The maid was about to leave when Asher stopped her.

"No need! I will silently go. N-"

"He asked me to inform when you wake up. So silently wait here until I come back."

"Ha?"

"Stay there. I will quickly go and tell him."

The maid left the room and he was all alone in the silence. Recalling how loud this room was last night, he covered his face again and blushed.

’Heats are really dangerous. But he also...didn’t stop.’

Asher tried to get up and found his legs trembling and throbbing.

The results of having sex for a whole night.... were really bad.

His back and lower body were in pain. When they were doing it, the pain didn’t matter but now he didn’t need any pleasure so the pain took over.

"Haa...It hurts. Seems like even walking would be hard."

’Fuck! Am I gonna be like this every month? That’s...’

Going deeper and deeper into his thoughts, he only came back to his senses when the duke appeared behind the opened door.

"You are awake."

The duke said with a straight face and saw Asher’s face was covered in gloom.

"Are you okay?"

He didn’t show his concerned expression this time which kind of confused Asher. Was he only worried while they were in the middle of it? Is he not gonna worry about him after that?

"I am fine."

What else could he say?

If he were to say he is not okay, would the duke help him? He might tell him it has nothing to do with him. That face looked like that though.

"Is your heat subsided?"

"Seems like it."

"That’s good."

"Mm..."

Both of them awkwardly stayed silent for a few seconds.

The duke walked to the bed and stretched out his hand willing to help Asher get off the bed. Even though his face didn’t say it, his actions showed he was worried about him. And Asher found a slight hint.

That man was only concerned about his face to show his hostility. But in reality, he was not that hostile at all. What a fool! Why would he even bother to keep his face all cold?

’Maybe this is what they call actions speak louder than words.’

Asher did not refuse his support and took the help very kindly.

His body throbbed but he managed to get off and stand on his feet. But he couldn’t deny his asshole felt like burning. He wondered if he had a wound there.

"It will hurt...You can use this ointment. It will heal your pain soon."

Asher thanked him and took it but stood there like a statue because his mind was still pondering about his next action. What was he gonna do next?

Ah! He should go back to his room. But...clothes. Where were his clothes?

When he looked around, Felix noticed he was looking for his clothes and he also looked for them. Seemed like Mary had brought them to wash, so Felix did another favour.

"Mm...Let me give some clothes to you."

The duke said and rummaged through a cabinet in the room. The ordinary t-shirt and pants were obviously bigger for Asher, but he had no other choice. So he quickly put them on.

"Then I will go back, duke."

"Mm...You don’t need to come tonight. You should take a rest."

Asher nodded and walked away with quick steps to his room. No one paid attention to him and they were busy with their work, so he was relieved

.

After coming back, he laid on his bed and thought the duke’s bed was really comfy and soft. But he forgot he slept in someone’s embrace, tightly hugged. Only that comfy mattress was in his memory though.

"Sigh...It hurts. But I don’t feel that heat anymore. Can having sex really end the heat? Then I should be thankful."

Even though his body ached because of the tiring night, he didn’t find his body heating up, feeling uncomfortable. The heat really ended with their sex.

’The duke...He said he also gets heat at night during a certain time. Will his heat also end like mine stopped?...maybe not. He is not a special race anyway. It was a drug, wasn’t it? Haaa...I should be worrying for myself now.’

Asher got up and went to take a bath. In the servant’s house, men had a seperate well. They only had wells and all the men used that well to bathe.

Even thinking about pulling that bucket out of the well made him dizzy. His hands were already aching and he suddenly felt lazy to work hard for some water.

Last night, he had his bathtub filled with water. Every room had a bathtub. But the owner of it had to fill it by themselves when they were free. Asher had his tub filled yesterday, but not today as he spent his night today with the duke and last day’s water was used to soak in as his heat came up.

At this moment, he didn’t have any idea to fill the tub. So it would be easy to bathe near the well. They had those two options and somehow, bathing near the well was the easiest option as bringing water to the room was troublesome.

’I will go to the well later. I have to fill up the tub too, just in case...Sigh...’

He rested there some more time but fell asleep without even knowing.
