When I Stopped Being Your Shadow
“Should I call the other employees to serve the Countess?””
“Shh, be quiet.”
At the careful question, Enoch shook his head, raising his index finger on his lips.
“She slept soundly after a long time. I’ll take her to her room myself.”
“Oh, yes.”
The driver nodded with an awkward expression.
Enoch held Ines carefully.
“Uh-huh…”
Ines, who had been sleeping, clung closely to Enoch.
“Countess, not long before the bedroom.”
Enoch soothed Ines with a light smile.
At the same time, the inn staff’s mouth opened wide.
‘What the hell did I see?’
The clerk rubbed his eyes and tried to suppress the urge to watch again.
The Duke of Sussex.
The Duke and King of Lancaster were the most difficult people the inn staff had ever met.
Though basically a famous aristocrat who was polite, kind and didn’t make unreasonable demands.
Nevertheless, the reason why most people find it difficult to please the Duke of Sussex was because….he was cold.
Like no one was allowed to approach.
Plus, with his dazzlingly beautiful appearance, the duke sometimes looked more like a living work of art than a human being.
A casual person who doesn’t care about anything.
They knew it’s prejudice, but that was the first impression the inn staff had from Enoch anyway.
‘Of course, he seems quite friendly with the Countess, but still.’
However, Enoch’s present kindness was far from just being friendly.
In other words, it looked like he was dealing with a lover.
Just in time, Enoch glanced up and looked at the employees.
“What happened now…….”
“Yes, of course I’ll keep it a secret.”
The staff hurriedly straightened up.
The inn where they worked had a strict rule of keeping customers’ privacy.
It was natural that it was a place where high-ranking nobles and royalty from each country usually stayed.
“Thank you.”
Enoch, who nodded, hugged Ines and disappeared into the inn.
‘Oh, that’s amazing.’
The staff looked at the retreating back with stunned faces.
* * *
Creak.
The door opened.
Enoch carefully laid Ines on the bed.
“Um….”
Ines seemed to be tossing and turning briefly, and soon began to make a strange sound of breathing.
There was no sign of waking up.
“…….”
Enoch stared down at Ines, who was asleep.
Lashes that fall neatly like a butterfly, red lips that spread like petals.
Looking at it, he suddenly remembered the garden of the night that he was sitting alongside Ines earlier.
The moment when he swallowed those red lips urgently, it felt as distant as a dream.
At the same time, Enoch’s forehead was deeply wrinkled.
‘What am I thinking in front of a sleeping person?’
Enoch turned to a rather frantic gesture.
Just as he was about to get out of the bedroom.
Ines murmured in a sleepy voice.
“Duke…… Your Excellency.”
Enoch paused.
Ines was talking in her sleep.
Her fingers stretched out and grabbed Enoch’s collar with force.
Then she smiled brightly like a child.
“…….”
Enoch stared at Ines with an indescribable gaze.
Was this the feeling of being touched?
He couldn’t bear the overflowing affection.
Enoch bent down and kissed her white forehead briefly.
But then.
The tightly closed eyelids opened gently.
Blurry green eyes gazed up at Enoch.
“……don’t go.”
“What?”
She whined softly.
“Tonight… I want to be with you.”
The moment he heard that sweet whisper, Enoch felt that the last string of reason he was holding on to with all his might was suddenly cut off.
* * *
The next morning.
The dazzling sunlight poked the closed eyelids.
“Ugh…”
Ines made a sick sound without realizing it.
Not only was she thirsty, but she felt like someone was banging her head with a hammer.
Ines recounted what happened yesterday with her eyes closed.
At the exhibition hall, she met the Marquess of Attlee, who had a marriage proposal with Enoch, and drank champagne one after another with a complicated mind.
She remembered the Marquess and Enoch looking pretty close and she was upset.
‘I ran into Enoch.’
“Right, I did!”
For a moment, Ines came to her senses as if she had poured cold water on her head.
The scattered memories were arranged at once.
Kisses they shared in the garden at night.
Enoch’s fullness when he hugged her with all his might.
‘When I returned to the exhibition hall, I shared a secret glance that avoided people’s eyes.’
And that she had fallen asleep in the carriage, and that Enoch had taken her to the bedroom.
She had turned around and grabbed him and whined not to go…….
“Oh, my God, what have I done?”
Ines felt a surge of fever in her face.
She opened her eyes wide.
The first thing that came into view was hair that sparkled like gold thread.
‘Wait, wait, wait…….’
Ines opened her eyes wide as if she were going to faint.
Large green eyes move slowly along the outline of the hair.
The ivory-like earlobe, the elegant nose, slightly open red lips, and even the tightly closed eyelids, as God made with all his heart and soul.
Gold eyelashes cast a faint shadow over the beautiful face.
Ines, who was watching the scene as if possessed, suddenly freaked out.
‘oh my gosh …….’
She had acted impulsively because of alcohol and fatigue, but now the memory of last night was so clear.
Breathing mixed with the hot air, both arms tied to each other, and body temperature that was exceptionally hot.
Kisses pouring down like rain, and blue eyes that looked straight at her as if they were taking a picture!
But then.
“Countess.”
[T/N: Enoch knows her name, right? ಠ_ʖಠ]
A drowsy voice rang out.
It was Enoch.
Surprised, Ines froze on the spot.
“Duke, are you awake?”
‘I’m sure he was asleep.…?’
Before she knew it, Enoch turned his head and looked her way.
Facing that gentle gaze, Ines involuntarily swallowed her dry saliva.
“You look like a different person from yesterday…”
Last night Enoch was completely different from usual.
He persistently clung to her, as if he didn’t want to keep him from his arms for a moment.
The rush of pleasure was so thick and dense that it was driven to the point of darkness several times.
Among them, Enoch’s eyes were the most clearly memorable.
The blue eyes that sank black as if they would eat her right away by keeping the darkness in full.
The intense obsession with Ines and the satisfaction that Enoch secretly felt that he wanted her this much.
All those things were still clear…….
But now Enoch’s gaze, which she faced, was only shining warmly in the sun.
“Did you have a good dream?”
With a curious question, Enoch reached out to Ines.
A long, elegant finger tidied her disheveled hair over her cheek.
It was a very tender touch.
“You slept soundly.”
“……Didn’t you make me have no choice but to fall asleep?”
Oh, my.
Ines, who asked back without much thought, bit the tip of her tongue gently.
Without realizing it, her inner thoughts popped out.
Meanwhile, Enoch opened his eyes wide, perhaps caught off guard.
Then he smirked away.
“I know. I’m sorry.”
“…….”
The smile was refreshing like a little boy.
Ines gave strength to her mouth, which she tried to smile at will.
‘Please, let’s not get excited.’
Wasn’t her tactless heart pounding again and starting to beat its own way?
Just in time Enoch asked the question again.
“Seeing you say that, you remember everything that happened last night, right?”
“Ah…”
Ines, who was speechless for a moment, finally replied with a sigh.
“Well, how can I forget that?”
She never had such pleasure in her life.
A sensation of pleasure melting throughout her body.
The nights she spent with Ryan so far were really nothing.
It was a bit obvious, but it was such a shame that she lived without knowing the ecstasy euphoria.
‘What do I do?’
Ines, who inadvertently touched her lips, glanced at Enoch.
‘I feel like I’m going to die…’
‘I think the intense feeling of kissing him yesterday still lingers.’
‘……but still.’
Shamefully, Ines avoided looking.
But then.
“Countess of Brierton.”
A subdued voice called her.

“Shh, be quiet.”
At the careful question, Enoch shook his head, raising his index finger on his lips.
“She slept soundly after a long time. I’ll take her to her room myself.”
