Harmless Obsession for the Captivating Male Lead-Chapter 15: Rosenia naturally took a bath first.

Rosenia naturally took a bath first.

To roll again in bed as soon as she woke up would be insane! She might die if they did it again!

“Is the water temperature okay?”

Asked Llewellyn in a courteous voice, standing by the bathtub. It was an unbelievable honest demeanor that Rosenia couldn’t believe it’s the same man who came at her last night.

“What? Ah, yes…”

Rosenia could still feel his breath and touch all over her body vividly. She curled up her arms around her body. Memories from last night continued to resurface in her mind, making it hard for her to face him properly.

“Do you use this bath bomb often?”

Asked Llewellyn, holding a crimson rose bath bomb in his hand. While pretending he didn’t exist, Rosenia answered sheepishly.

“That’s Adrian’s… My brother bought it for me. Isn’t it pretty? It smells good too.”

“…Hm.”

As Rosenia answered in an excited voice, Llewellyn looked at the bath bomb for a while before looking back at her and throwing the bath bomb into the amenity basket.

“…?!”

‘He wasn’t going to put it in the bathtub…?!’

Flustered, Rosenia looked up at Llewellyn with her eyes widened.

And then, Llewellyn smiled at her and took out a lilac bath bomb. It was recently bought and unopened.

“What about this?”

“That’s…I bought it.”

“I see.”

Llewellyn nodded satisfactorily and unwrapped the lilac bath bomb. It slowly began to disperse inside the bathtub.

‘What?’

Rosenia was taken aback, unable to understand his reaction. It was not the first time this had happened.

‘Trying to understand him is as hard as training Adrian…’

The bathtub was soon tinged with a violet color, and a rich sweet smell of lilac scattered in the air.

This was her first time using this bath product, but it smelled better than she had thought and found it to her liking.

Closing her eyes and savoring the fragrance, suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Startled, Rosenia opened her eyes and flailed her body. When their eyes met, Llewellyn slanted his beautiful eyes and chuckled.

“I’ll wash you. Please stay still.”

“What? No-.”

Said Rosenia, flustered.

‘I can’t believe he wants to wash me! Is it just me or does it seem like he has ill-intentions?’

His hand slid down her shoulder. She became startled and flinched greatly.

“W-wait a minute!”

“…”

As Llewellyn grabbed her wrist and looked into her eyes, he tilted his head as if asking her why. He had an innocent look on his face.

‘This guy…’

At this point, Rosenia realized that Llewellyn had been using his pretty face as a weapon to scam her. In bewilderment, she spoke.

“Hey, don’t do this in the morning.”

“What do you mean? I’m just trying to help you wash.”

‘Ha, don’t make me laugh! Is that the hand gesture of someone who wants to help?!’

Somehow, Rosenia managed to pull off his hand that was stuck to her body, and then she continued.

“I can wash myself, so get out!”

“Rose, you hate me helping you?”

“No, that’s not what I meant!”

“If that’s not what you mean, why don’t you want my help?”

‘This guy…he’s so eloquent with his words.’

Rosenia was so dumbfounded that she simply slapped away the back of his hand.

“I want to wash myself. I need some alone time. So please get out…!”

“…”

Desperately refusing with her eyes closed, a moment later, Llewellyn’s hand slipped away.

Stealthily taking a peek from a corner of her eye, she saw him looking at her with a glimmer of regret.

‘I’m not going to succumb even with that look!’

Rosenia stared at him, hugging her upper body defensively. Llewellyn, who finally gave up, sighed deeply as spoke with a sorrowful voice.

“I really wanted to help you wash…”

“…”

“So I can’t. Next time then…”

‘…Next time?’

Not knowing why Llewellyn had just said that, her nerves were on edge as he turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

Click.

Llewellyn went out and closed the door.

Rosenia sat dazed for a while, barely able to calm herself as she let out a deep sigh.

‘Next time…So he still wants to wash me one of these days! That guy, who wanted me to lull him to sleep, wants to help me bath?’

It was a very hard pill to swallow for her.

‘But after all, after last night, I know for sure he likes to cuddle.’

Rosenia blushed at the sudden thought.

‘Damn it!’

Rosenia couldn’t believe that she discovered Duke Rasiane’s taste after one night!

‘Really, it wasn’t even meant to be…I’m glad I quickly used contraceptive magic before we started earnestly yesterday.’

So there was no risk of an unwanted pregnancy.

Last night, and at dawn…thinking how long it would last. Llewellyn would heat up, and there was no time to rest. Rosenia didn’t know how many times they did it.

‘It might have been dangerous if I hadn’t used contraceptive magic.’

Gently touching the hot surface of the bathwater with her hands, she sighed deeply.

For contraceptive magic, Rosenia never thought she’d have to use it in this life, even though she had learned it.

‘I never thought I’d sleep with the male lead…Huh, what’s this?’

Looking around her chest, she widened her eyes. There were red spots everywhere, as if rashes had bloomed.

‘…N-no way!’

The moment Rosenia realized what those marks were, her face flushed red. She lowered her face in the bathwater and flailed blindly.

‘Ugh, crazy, really! Why did he have to leave these marks?!’

The pure and honest looking Duke was no different than a beast. However, no one would believe her if she told them that ‘The’ Duke Rasiane becomes a beast at night!

‘…Don’t tell me I have to spend the night with that guy again tonight? Since I suppressed the mana poisoning, it should be okay for the time being…But what if it’s not? Ah, no! If I have to do it again, I’ll die! That guy…has no idea what moderation is.’

Her body shivered in the warm bathtub.

‘And…I haven’t heard the reason. I should have asked him why he was lying on the Hill’s properly alone.’

Llewellyn had suddenly kissed her palm like crazy…

Recalling the moment again, Rosenia felt goosebumps up her spine. No matter how much she thought about it, she had the feeling that she was being eaten. Also, naturally, that wasn’t the only feeling…

Her cheeks flared up again as the memory of what happened up till dawn vividly replayed in her mind. She buried her face in her hands and murmured.

‘He’s driving me crazy. Really…’

With a complicated mood in more ways than one, Rosenia came out after her bath…Then, she saw Llewellyn standing rather shyly holding a towel, waiting for her.

‘W-what.’

Rosenia glanced at him and approached the dressing table. He followed behind her slowly.

For some reason, the way Llewellyn followed her made her dreadful. She felt like her neck was going to get bitten.

‘Ack, why is coming towards me, again!’

Rosenia sat at the dressing table holding back her incoming tears. Reflected in the large mirror in front of her, she had a very strange look on her face.

Tap.

Llewellyn stood close behind her. At that moment, she became nervous and inadvertently gulped. In a polite tone, he asked.

“May I dry your hair for you? Rose.”

“…”

Thinking about it…Rosenia suddenly had a realization. The fact that his tone was sometimes polite, and sometimes informal.

‘Well, the more out of it he is, the more unfettered he becomes. Last night…’

[You’re really pretty right now…]

‘…Saying it so casually.’

At the thought of it, Rosenia became a little dumbfounded. With a sideway glare, she tried to snatch the towel from his hand, but he quickly blocked her hand.

“Please allow me to dry you, Rose.”

It was a tone that would not take a no for an answer. Although Llewellyn was smiling, Rosenia somehow had a bad feeling about it, and that if she said no, he would pretend to be pitiful and cheat her again.

And Rosenia was certain that she would foolishly fall for it again.

Seeing her whole life flash before her eyes, she breathed a deep sigh.

‘Fine, male lead, do as you please…’

Rosenia forcefully nodded her head.

“Thank you, Rose.”

With a big smile, Llewellyn began to dry her hair slowly with the soft towel.

‘He’s not going to tear my hair off because he can’t control his strength, is he?’

Rosenia wanted to ask, but surprisingly his touch was quite professional. To the point where she felt drowsy.

“Does it feel good?”

“…Yes.”

“I’ll keep doing it from now on then.”

“That’s a bit…”

‘We’re parting ways anyway.’

With a devious look, Llewellyn smiled and stopped drying her hair.

After looking at her quietly for a while, Llewellyn said in a low voice.

“…You don’t seem to believe me at all.”

Only

“…?”

‘What is he saying all of a sudden? I don’t believe him at all? Isn’t that obvious? How can I trust a crazy person?!’

After fiddling her lips, she answered.

“Trust grows over time in a relationship, doesn’t it? We’ve…just met.”

“…”

“I spent the night so I could suppress Duke’s mana poisoning. I have no other intention…”

Rosenia said everything she wanted to say, but it soon occurred to her that she shouldn’t have.

Because very different from usual, Llewellyn’s face looking at her right now was cold.
