Chapter 10: Hazy Eyes.
Adonis, dressed up in his Royal purple suit, was brisk walking along the corridor when he heard someone calling him from behind.
He turned around to see the person.
It was Duke Magnus Bloodworth, wearing a mulberry coloured velvet suit. He looked like a male-god he always was.
He came near and stood beside him. They kept on looking at each other without saying anything as both were busy searching for perfect words to say to each other.
"Shall we go now?"
Magnus asked, turning towards the way.
"Just a minute Duke."
Adonis went in front of him and straightened his folded collar.
Magnus's eyes were slightly widened at the sudden intimate action.
The carefree perpetrator smiled, looked up and said,"Seems like the Duke came in a hurry."
Adonis raised his head casually but his hands on the collar along with all the moments came to a sudden halt when he saw Magnus's face inches away from his own.
Magnus's intent gaze was making Adonis feel different types of stirring in his body.
Adonis opened and closed his mouth time and again, wanting to say something but not saying it.
"Just say it."
Magnus's deep and low voice paired with such closeness sent a jolt down Adonis's spine.
"I-I'm sorry."
"For what?"
What a perfect cupid bow lips.
"That-"
Magnus's hands were moving closer to the visible slender waist.
"Mommy, Daddy."
In a second, both of them were suddenly standing straight as a scale, next to each other.
The Duke's composed face didn't betray anything but anyone could see the pink tints on Adonis's cheeks.
He walked some steps towards Osiris and smiled at him.
"You're ready, baby?"
Osiris put both his hands on his waist and adorably nodded.
"So cute."
"No, Mommy, not cute. Call Osiris handsome. Osiris wants to be handsome like Daddy."
Adonis laughed. He went near Osiris and squatted down to him.
"Of course. Osiris is Daddy's son, so it's a given that our Osiris will be as handsome as Daddy."
Osiris hugged Adonis.
But he suddenly pulled back and said,"Mommy, my handsome kiss?"
"Huh? Handsome kiss? What's that?"
"I heard Raven say that if you're handsome then you can get anyone to kiss you. I want two kisses."
Osiris extended his cheeks towards Adonis and smiling, Adonis pecked him twice.
"What are you learning from Raven? Should I change him?"
Magnus said, picking up Osiris.
"No no, Daddy. Osiris likes Raven. Raven plays with Osiris lots."
"That's good."
Adonis smiled and buttoned the sleeves of little Osiris's suit who was in Magnus's embrace.
"Little boy, did you run out without getting fully dressed?"
Osiris giggled and said,"Osiris heard Daddy calling mommy, he waited for a while then ran out to meet Daddy and Mommy."
Magnus said,"Get dressed fully before going out."
Osiris nodded.
He pouted and said,"Mommy, Osiris wants another kiss?"
"Huh! Again?"
Adonis pecked him again quickly.
"Now Osiris got more kisses than Daddy."
Magnus looked at Osiris.
Adonis blurted out,"Who kissed Daddy?"
The Duke couldn't help looking at the curious cat.
"Raven says all mommy kisses all daddy."
Adonis blushed.
Magnus said,"I really should change either Raven's head or him."
"No, daddy, he's-"
The three 'Daddy', 'Mommy' and son walked to the dinner table chattering.
The Nine Bloodworth Head Knights were already seated in their seats by the time they reached the dining table.
The dinner went better than Adonis had imagined. Maybe because the Head Knights weren't much old. It was fun dinner but it wasn't akward also. All were at ease. Adonis fed Osiris and his maid took him to sleep.
After the alcohol started coming, the vibe of the dinner changed.
The Youngest Head Knight, Rylan, who was the most friendliest, asked Adonis to drink.
"Young Master must down this bottle to seal our deal."
"Yes, yes."
All of them were slightly tipsy.
It would be uncourteous to turn them down. Especially when he said 'to seal our deal'. Also it was a small bottle.
He heard Magnus's voice,"Is the Young Master bad with alcohol?"
Adonis took the bottle and said,"No no, I'm good at it, I'm good at it."
Adonis squinted his eyes and chunk the whole bottle down in one breath.
"That's it. That's it."
They clinked the glasses and cheered,"For the Young Master."
After some minutes, all of them stopped their moment when they heard a certain sound.
"Hehe."
It was a sound of giggle.
They all turned their head to see a man whose snow white cheeks were tinted pink, sitting with his face on his propping hands on the table.
Rylan's eyes lit up.
"The Young Master Arnall is so cuteeeeeee."
Adonis tilted his head a bit and said,"thenk eu."
Rylan, being the Casanova of the Bloodworth Knights', his feet started moving towards the drunk man.
"Young Master Adonis, do you like this-"
He stopped. Both words and movement.
He turned around 180 degrees, kept a straight face and sat on his chair obediently.
Magnus put his sword back in it's place.
He stood up.
"I'll take Young Master to his room and retire to my own room. You guys can leave whenever you want to."
Rylan smiled and said,"Our Duke is so generous."
"Except you. Rylan is very drunk, he'll leave right now."
Rylan pouted.
As Magnus left, supporting Adonis, Rylan murmured on his own.
"Our Duke is so cruel."
Magnus laid Adonis on his bed. A maid opened his boots and left immediately.
The room assigned to Adonis had big windows and today was a full moon night.
As the bed was quite close to the window, the moonlight shimmered down the on snow white face. That face now had pink hue on them, making the person look so pure and beautiful.
Magnus thought. How could a man look so innocent and pure? How can a man be so kind? How can a man be beautiful? And how come he was noticing all these things?
Magus felt an urge to feel the skin. For some reason, he wanted to know how soft it was. But his hands stopped mid-air.
No, he couldn't do this.
He was about to retract his hands when he felt a slightly cold hand lace with his own hand.
When he looked down, he saw the man had opened his eyes making him look more elegant and pristine.
But those eyes were hazy.
Magnus wouldn't feel anything even if someone was standing naked infront of him.
But today, these pair of eyes were pulling him in.
He wanted to see them from the closest distance possible.
He wanted to touch it to his heart content.
He wanted them to only look at him.
