The Duchess who Tames her Husband

Being transported into the world of a novel and reaching its conclusion was exhilarating.

If things had gone according to the original plot, I would have triumphed in the final battle and had a happy ending.

“Hey, wait.”

“Do we really have to do this?”

She nodded in response to my fervent crimson gaze. As she approached and sat on the bed, my eyes followed her every movement. Soon, she beckoned.

“Come here.”

Her voice, laden with sweet temptation, resonated deeply within me, sending a chill down my spine. Very discreetly.
