Lying in bed, Lu Xia felt a fire raging through her body, with no way to extinguish it.
Not until a pair of cool hands touched her did Lu Xia find an escape, nuzzling against them. She heard Smelian calling her name.
"Xiaxia, Doctor Eugene just said you're in heat. If you're not soothed, it could cause physical harm. Graces isn't here right now. Can you accept my touch? Or would you prefer Cecil?"
Selfishly, Smelian didn't want to mention Cecil's name at that moment. But as one of Duke Lu Xia's partners, if Lu Xia needed Cecil at a time like this, he was prepared to step aside.
Lu Xia's mind was a muddle. She could hear Smelian's voice clearly but couldn't fully grasp his meaning. She only knew that his touch felt good. She instinctively craved more, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her whole body against his.
Lu Xia's actions seemed to be silent permission. Smelian was already fond of Lu Xia, so how could he possibly resist when she treated him like this?
