24 Sleepless Nights

That night, the banquet that the steward Byron had specially arranged for Hawke was cancelled, and the whole estate fell silent because of the wrath of its master.

However, this quiet atmosphere, it seems, is not suitable for sleep.

……

The moonlight is like washing, the breeze is gusting, and only the insects and birds make low chirps from time to time, which seems to be extremely quiet.

Daisy sat in the stone open-air bath, her eyes slightly closed, her expression soothing and comfortable, as if she was sleeping lightly. The curling water vapor made her skin rise a faint flush, and the algae-like black hair scattered on the surface of the water, covering the exquisite and perfect body below, seductive and enchanting!

Beads of sweat ran down the corners of his forehead to his chin, and with a snap, they dripped to the surface of the water, splashing in circles and ripples.

Suddenly, her long eyelashes twitched slightly, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her keen senses made her detect a slightly disordered breathing sound. This man has been observing himself for a long time, and finally can't help it? A tease of laughter tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Approaching her slowly, the man seemed a little displeased, and his eyes were sharp and dangerous.

"Why didn't you say anything when you knew I was coming?" The suppressed voice revealed a hint of disappointment.

"Isn't it enough to watch it for so long?" She opened her eyes and immersed herself completely, and although her back was to him, she could clearly feel someone's gaze lingering on her.

"You're avoiding me." Hawke stood on the edge of the hot spring pool, slowly crouching down.

“……”

"Mei'er......" he whispered, clasping her bare shoulders with one hand, her eyes fascinated.

"You're drinking." The strong smell of wine spilled into her noses, and Daisy tried to break free of his hand, but he pulled herself closer and closer.

"Mei'er, why are you avoiding me? I waited for you in my room all night. Hawke pulled her body over, leaning down to eye level with hers, and the dreamlike vapor sprayed on his face, softening his cold lines.

Daisy stared at his face for a moment! His eyes were bright, almost transparent, like fine agate, clear and fragile, yet deep and indiscerning. With fair and clean skin, deep facial features and a slight oriental handsomeness, it turns out that this face is no worse than the absolute wind, and even surpasses it, maybe even the creator will marvel at his masterpiece!

Tonight, he seems very different, defenseless, not suffocating, what is it in his eyes? Is it gentleness ......? Daisy turned her head away from his gaze and said coldly, "You shouldn't be here, someone needs you more." ”

"But I need you!" Pinched his chin, bowed his head, and kissed her on the lips without saying anything. The mockery in her eyes couldn't escape his eyes, what the hell was this woman thinking!

Alcohol blurred his consciousness, and he indiscriminately sucked at her lips, licking, biting, and sliding his tongue into her warm mouth, trying to get her response! It turned out that what he was looking forward to for a day was this kiss!

His passion hurt her, and a trace of blood spilled into her mouth.

Daisy was annoyed, and her air-draining ribcage made her struggle uncomfortably in the water. With both hands on his clothes, she leaned back to drag him into the water, but Hawke picked her up first.

The water on Daisy soaked his clothes, and the two wet bodies overlapped seamlessly, graceful as vines.

"I'm reckless again...... Does it hurt? Looking at the red, swollen and bleeding lips of the woman in his arms, he seemed to be a little more sober, and his fingertips clumsily wiped the drop of blood from the corner of her mouth, and then sucked it into his mouth, which was extremely ambiguous.

"You're drunk!" Daisy whispered in exasperation, her elbows untied him, and she quickly pulled her bathrobe over the edge of the pool and draped it over her body, before getting up to leave. She doesn't have a penchant for exposing her body in front of men, and she doesn't have the slightest reason to talk about alcoholics!

Hawke only felt empty in his arms, and his heart couldn't help but twitch. She's running away again!

His eyes narrowed, he grabbed Daisy's wrist without saying anything, pulled her in front of him, and his voice was urgent: "Mei'er, don't go......"

Plunder, possession, is his law of survival, but his current tone is almost begging.

Daisy was stunned, shook off his hand and froze in mid-air. gloomy and deceitful, tender and charming, which one is him? She couldn't figure it out!

"Zu, don't be like this, let me go......" she frowned, a little helpless.

"I won't do anything you don't like, I just want you to stay with me, even for a while." Brushing back the long black hair stuck to her shoulders, his slender fingers rubbing against her cheeks, he took her in his arms.

"Mei'er, shall we go and watch the sunrise?" Buried in her neck and whispering, the endless darkness of the night disgusted him, especially tonight!

But Angela ...... "The fragile woman needed him so much, she could see it."

Hawke's face changed color instantly, and the love at the bottom of his eyes was complicated and difficult to discern, and he said in a deep voice: "She has someone to take care of." Mei'er, she's in a special situation, I ......"

"Click-" is the sound of a tree branch breaking.

"Who." Hawke turned his head suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and his tone was terrifying.

The delicate body trembled in the dark night, and the pale face was full of horror. Angela clutched her white nightdress at a loss, her lips pursed, her eyes scattered, as if she had seen something she shouldn't see.

"Zu, yes, I'm sorry, I can't see you when I wake up, so ...... I went back. The staccato voice was weak, and she turned around and ran back in a panic, but she tripped over the raised stone and fell heavily to the ground, and her legs suddenly bloomed with blood.

Her body had long been numbed by years of punishment, and she seemed to have no pain in sight of the injuries in front of her. After a moment of clarity, she fell into a closed love again, her long golden hair covering her curled up body, and her expression was dull.

The tenderness and fragility of the man before receded like a tide, replaced by an unassailable calm. He let go of the delicate body in his arms, and the heat of his body suddenly became cold.

Walking up to Angela, Hawke put his hand over her wound and said softly: "Angela, if you want to find me, tell the servant, don't walk around in the future, your body is still very weak, I'll take you back to the room." His voice was faint, so faint that people couldn't hear it. He picked up the woman on the ground, and he left without looking back.

Did he leave as if nothing had happened in front of him again? She didn't understand it anymore......

A night breeze blew, and Daisy stood by the pool and gathered her bathrobe, feeling slightly cold. I can't help but sigh, the temperature here at night is really low.

The curling water vapor continued to rise, and the sound of gentle footsteps faded away, until Daisy's figure disappeared into the night, and the sight hidden in the dark was silently withdrawn, and this open-air hot spring was finally quiet.

……

If the solar energy penetrates the darkness of the world, then the only thing that it can't penetrate and shine on is the human heart.

Daisy stood at the top of the villa, quietly watching the red sun in the sky getting brighter and brighter. In the glow of the sun, the extremely dark night was ruthlessly expelled, without the slightest ability to resist.

The harsh sunlight made her eyes hurt slightly.

Daisy narrowed her eyes, feeling her body being wrapped inch by inch, and the light wanted to penetrate her texture and blood, but she still felt cold, even colder......

Her black hair fluttered in the wind, as if she wanted to go with the wind, and a voice told her that she didn't belong here, that she should be free.

Knocking on the man's door, a faint fragrance came, with a hint of loneliness.

Lilac hair was scattered on the shoulders and neck, dyed with a halo.

The man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, turned his face to look at her, and a smile lifted up at the corner of his mouth, which was extremely infectious, more beautiful than the clouds on the horizon.

"Wind, it looks like you haven't slept all night."

"Wind, I need your help."

"Wind, help me recover my memory."

"Okay." He looked at her and said with a smile, his gray eyes were thick and warm.
