The Duke's Passion

Chapter 92 - A Love So Dangerous

"I'm just being supportive while helping others to strengthen their faith." Sam mumbled before he whistled and looked outside.

So all along, this entire time, the important affair he went to attend was to worship… me? No, no. Sam wouldn't do something so trivial. He made a sketch… definitely, not a shallow…

"Was I naked?" I didn't know whether to weep or laugh at this ridiculous news.

"What? Obviously…" I widened my eyes as I grabbed his chest with both my hands. "… not. Lilove, are you trying to push me off the window?"

My abrupt action made Sam placed his hands on both sides of the jamb. His eyes wide, blinking many times as he looked at me in surprised.

"Uh… it was an impulse reaction." I explained, almost stammering because even I was surprised.

"You will kill me out of impulse?"

"Certainly not!" I instantly denied, pushing his chest out of habit as I took a step back.

I didn't even push that hard. However, my eyes gradually went wide as time moved slower than normal.

My breath hitched. The beating of my heart throbbed loudly, as if it was beating right in front of my ear.

No…

I watched as Sam slowly fall back from the window. His eyes were on me, looking at me, stunned.

Sam…

And my surrounding returned to its normal pace.

"Sam!" I yelled as I rushed to him. My hand reached out to him, but it was too late.

"Sa—"

"Tehehe~!" Suddenly, I heard his devious giggle which grew into wicked laughters.

Sam's upper body hung down the window while his legs hooked on the windowsill. He was laughing, loudly.

I nearly got a heart attack, and he was laughing? I shouldn't get worried about him knowing he jumped to this height.

But...

How could I do that? Despite knowing that Sam was an accomplished vampire, I would always worry about him, regardless.

"Sam!" I yelled as I stomped my feet towards him. I slapped his thigh without restraint, out of frustration.

"Haha! Aw!" Sam chuckled as he suddenly pulled his hanging upper body back to sit. "You're so adorable."

He grinned, poking the tip of my nose with his finger. I ground my teeth as my eyes welled up due to panic.

"Did you get scared?"

I slapped his hand away. "It's not funny!"

How could he give me such a scare like that? I really thought I nearly pushed him to his death.

"Aww. Forgive your husband." Sam persuaded as he pinched my cheek.

But that was not enough to appease me. Hence, I corrected. "Soon to be."

"But it's still the same." He said. "There, there. Smile now."

Sam pressed both his thumbs on either side of my lips and stretched it up. I narrowed my eyes, glaring at his overly playful nature.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Sam's eyes brimmed with excitement. I could not help but furrow my brows upon seeing his mischievous grin.

I don't feel good about this.

"Love, are you that upset?"

Don't I look like I was not?

"Jumping from here will release all your stress. Do you trust me?"

"Huh?" I tilted my head to the side as my gaze fixed on him. "Jump from… here?"

Sam nodded almost immediately.

"No." Horrified at the thought, I shook my head. Jumping from the window would only put me in distress even more.

"Don't you trust me?" Sam fluttered his eyelashes coquettishly.

At this point, I'm tired of saying how breathtaking he was. But no. I trust him, but I disagree that jumping from here would release all tension I had in my mind.

"Come." Sam suddenly grabbed my wrist and tugged it.

Out of instinct, I pulled my wrist back and put all my weight on my feet. "No!"

Sam frowned as his shoulders lowered. Yet, he was still holding my hand, which he placed on his lap.

"I want to try something." He sighed dejectedly.

"Sam, if you fell down from here, you'll be fine. But, if I fell down from this height, I would die." I stressed my words in distress.

I shook my head, sighing. I glanced at Sam and let out another sigh. A dare-devil like him wouldn't understand, would he?

"Sam…" Still, I felt defeated. Sam wasn't saying anything yet, but this was the only time he felt so disheartened after getting rejected.

I trudged towards him. He had his head hung low. Thus, I lifted his chin up by the back of my hand.

"Sam, not every…" My voice trailed off upon seeing the smirk on his lips.

"Have some faith, Lilove." He said, which made my eyes instantly go wide.

Faster than a blink of the eye, Sam wrapped his arm around my waist. He pulled me up against him before he leaned back and we fell down.

Everything happened so fast I nearly choked on my words. After a blink, all I knew was we're falling down — head first.

I couldn't even hear my heart beating or anything at all. It was as if my mind and heart went into a completely blank state.

"Saaam!" I shrieked, clasping on his shoulder tightly. I held onto him as if I was holding on to dear life.

How could he do this to me? I didn't even know what to feel as we continued on falling.

"How—!" Just as I was about to scream even more, I felt his finger clipped on my chin, lifting it up, as something soft smashed against my lips.

My eyes that I shut closed, opened in surprised. He — he's ki — kissing me right now?

"It's alright," He whispered into my mouth. Strange, how I heard his words despite the loud swoosh of air around us.

"Trust me." He added, biting my lip gently.

My grip on his shoulder tightened even more. I wanted to complain, but his lips, his arm around my waist, and his hand stilling my jaw strangely brought reassurance in my heart.

Before I knew it, I slowly closed my eyes. My arms carefully hooked around his neck. I might've lost my mind for responding to his kisses, fighting for dominance.

Our situation didn't change. We're still falling down. But my concern about it eventually faded into thin air, as my mind only had him in it.

Still, a part of me realized that our relationship was like this fall; it's dangerous. We can't stop midair. We could only expect and plan our safe landing while enjoying the entire falling process.
