Temptress from Another World

Sexy and the Beast

“WHAT?”

Nao's forehead knotted in confusion because of the duke's stupefied reaction. “What ‘what?’”

Lucien took a step back with a knotted forehead while looking at her like he couldn’t believe what he just said.

She used his “speechless mode” to check him out.

The duke was only wearing a maroon silk robe that exposed his wide expanse of chest, taut waist, and six pack abs. He was toned and there were faint battle scars in his bare skin. But if anything, the blemishes in his body only made him look manlier.

But his face is the root of his deep insecurity.

He had two symmetric scars on both sides of his face starting from the corners of his mouth up to his cheeks. Each scar was sewed with a black thread. Of course, the thread was from a powerful dark spell by the strongest Dark Magician in the empire.  That’s why the duke couldn’t find a magician strong enough to fix his face.

She’d admit that the scars didn’t look good. But they didn’t disgust her. After all, she knew the story of how he got those ugly marks. To simply put, she pitied him.

“Are you that desperate to live that you’d sleep with a monster like me?” Lucien asked her in disbelief. “Don’t you find me repulsive?”

“I’ll admit that the scars on your face looks nasty,” she said in an honest voice. “Battle scars aren’t disgusting though. I’m sorry if it sounded like I’m romanticizing the pain you went through. But that’s the real reason why I don’t find you repulsive.”

“You’re crazy,” he countered, disbelief was still evident in his voice. “Everleigh sent a crazy one this time, huh? Where did you come from?”

“From another world.”

That revelation didn’t surprise him. “Ah, yes. Everleigh has mentioned that she’d summon a woman from another world this time. She really did it, didn’t she? That crazy priestess.”

She just smirked as a response. Right, Everleigh is cray-cray.

“What solution were you offering earlier?” the duke asked in a curious tone. “The way to have s*x without me getting you pregnant.”

“I’m glad you asked, Your Grace,” she said while opening her drawstring bag. Then, she pulled out a box of condom from there. “We just have to use this.”

The duke’s forehead knotted in obvious confusion. “And what is that?”

“A condom,” she said. “This rubber can prevent pregnancy.”

She remembered something from the novel that helped her come up with that solution.

She was in a world where men have strong Mana. The stronger a male is, the harder it is for him to fine a mate or a woman who could carry his child. The birth rate in Genevian Empire is low, especially to the nobles. It has become a national problem because of the continuous war the empire is having. The noble warriors can’t die without a heir, apparently.

So it makes sense if the people here haven’t thought of a way to prevent pregnancy.

“This is used as a birth control in my world,” she said. “This is safe to use, Your Grace.”

The duke was obviously surprised. “You need to control birth back in your world? That’s a waste.”

“We’re overpopulated over there,” she explained, then shrugged her shoulders before changing the topic. “Anyway, I won’t get pregnant if we use this…” Her gaze fell down on his crotch area. It was mentioned in the novel that he was a beast down there. Is the condom big enough to accommodate the monster in his pants?

The duke cleared his throat as if he was asking for his attention. “Just what are you looking at?”

She gave him a sweet smile before she changed the topic. “Your Grace, what’s your decision?”

“Out of all the women sent to my chamber, you’re the most willing to do this. Ah, no. You’re the only one stupid enough to be enthusiastic about sleeping with a monster,” he said in a suspicious voice. “Did His Majesty offer you a palace or something?”

“No,” she said while shaking her head. “I miss s*x and you just happen to be my type. So if you’re okay with someone like me, I don’t mind sleeping with you.”

Lucien seemed to be taken aback by her honest response.

Well, she wanted to survive but she couldn’t deny the fact that she was physically attracted to the duke. She was already fantasizing about him in the novel. What more now that he was standing before her in flesh? Sleeping with him would save her life tonight anyway.

That and she was horny.

“How do we use that thing?” Lucien asked in an urgent tone. Now he was looking at her like he wanted to rip her clothes off and devour her like a beast that he was. “Teach me– now.”

“Okay,” Nao said, laughing. She thought he was calling her name when he said “now” until she remembered that she hasn’t introduced herself yet to him. “You haven’t asked but my name is Naomi “Nao” Oh.” When the duke’s eyebrow arched, she winked at him while taking off her cloak. “I’ll make you say my name all night, Your Grace.”
