Throughout the day, Leopold's handsome face was shrouded in gloom.
All he wanted to do right now was to punish this rebellious woman and remind her who her only man was.
As the evening drew near, he ushered the children to bed.
Aurelia wished to retire to her cabin as well, but instead, she found herself hoisted over his shoulder and flung onto the large bed.
Her face paled, and she clutched the pillow in fear.
"Could you show some respect to me?"
"Aren't you lonely? From now on, I'll spend more time with you." His voice held a chilling undertone. He intended to exhaust her so she wouldn't have the energy to entertain any distractions.
"Leopold..." she began, but her words were stopped by his kiss. He tore the pillow from her grasp, throwing it aside, and his fiery assault came upon her like a storm.
Afternoon sunlight beamed in through the window.
Aurelia woke from her daze, feeling a wave of fear. Last night, he was like a wild beast, having sex with her over and over again as if he planned to drain her completely.
She lost consciousness three times, but he still didn't stop until dawn.
If this were to continue, she wouldn't last.
Struggling to sit up, she felt weak, even walking was a challenge.
When she managed to stumble onto the deck, Leopold was there, fishing with the children.
Seeing her unsteady steps, he felt a pang of guilt.
Last night, he had indeed lost control.
She was the only woman who could make him lose control. Whenever he dealt with her matters, he couldn't control his emotions.
William turned to look at her, "Mommy, what happened to your leg? Did you hurt yourself?"
A flush of embarrassment mixed with anger colored Aurelia's face. She cast an irate glance at Leopold responsible and said, "Last night, there was a huge bug in my bed. It bit me, and it's sore and itchy now."
Kane turned to her, surprised, "There are bugs at sea?"
Aurelia gave a sheepish smile, "It must have flown in when we were docked."
