My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 118

Realizing she was also perspiring from their exercise, Kisha hurriedly dashed to the bathroom to change her own clothes. As she ran, her knees threatened to buckle beneath her, a testament to the intensity of their passionate moment. Meanwhile, Duke remained behind, trying to regulate his breathing after his climax.

Amused, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly as he watched Kisha’s hurried retreat to the bathroom.

Duke’s eyes took on a contented crescent shape, brimming with satisfaction and a hint of mischief as if he had just won the lottery. As Kisha disappeared into the bathroom to change, Duke settled onto the bed, relishing the lingering sensations of their intimate encounter. However, he had to abruptly halt his reverie, lest he stirs up his arousal once more.

Kisha, on the other hand, stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was flushed, her lips red and slightly swollen—not the natural plumpness they usually had. It was evident she had just shared a passionate kiss, and she couldn’t help but facepalm herself at the thought.

There was no way anyone wouldn’t notice, and she dreaded the inevitable questions and speculations about what had transpired behind closed doors.

Even after living through a hundred lives, Kisha still felt inexperienced when it came to love. In her 99th life, she had a lover, but they never had the chance to be intimate.

"Host, more like you never even wanted to be touched by him," 008 interjected into her thoughts before retreating back into the depths of her consciousness.

Kisha ignored 008’s jab and returned to her thoughts. Reflecting on her past, she realized that not being intimate with that asshole for a long time might have been the reason he cheated on her and ultimately betrayed her. ’I guess treating someone well isn’t always enough to keep them as a lover,’ she mused.

After regulating her breathing and calming herself, Kisha took a quick shower and changed into fresh sportswear. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she found Duke leaning against the door frame, waiting for her. He flashed his most charming smile, satisfaction radiating from his face—he was practically glowing. "From now on, you’re my wife," Duke declared possessively.

Kisha’s lips twitched at his words. Duke’s glowing satisfaction was almost blinding, leaving her unsure of how to feel. She felt as if she had jumped right into a pit dug specifically for her. The one who benefited the most stood right in front of her, and Kisha couldn’t help but feel a pang of frustration.

Her frustration was evident, especially in her eyes. Duke chuckled as he watched her expression shift from embarrassment to irritation, clearly enjoying the sight. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way just because of a spoonful of honey, but he couldn’t deny he was happy with the outcome.

He had been worrying about how to further their relationship when the opportunity presented itself, and he was so delighted that he wanted to secure her for himself as soon as possible. The thought of her making the same mistake with another man made his blood boil; he knew he would lose it and might crush some skulls right then and there. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

"I’ll take responsibility. From now on, you are my wife... Hmm?" Duke repeated when Kisha didn’t respond the first time. His serious expression and possessive gaze were unmistakable, and he made no effort to conceal them from her. The intensity of his aura made Kisha swallow hard, a lump forming in her throat as tension radiated through her body.

Unaware that her playful teasing would escalate to this, or perhaps recognizing it as an ill-timed jest, especially following his consumption of the Scarlet Honey, she couldn’t help but acknowledge its peril. "That honey was dangerous," she mused, resolving to keep it away from prying eyes.

"No need to shoulder any responsibility. Nothing happened, after all. Let’s simply move on and focus on what needs to be done," Kisha attempted to maintain a façade of nonchalance as she walked past Duke.
