Chapter 31: You're Mine, Even If You Don't Want To
But since Ash fears nothing, he seemed even more pleased by what he heard from me. I could see the amazement in his eyes as he looked at me.
He was playing with his lips using his thumb, trying to stifle a chuckle.
"Really?" He grinned again after hearing my response. "Your body says otherwise, Sapphire. Why don't you be honest with yourself? You like me, and I like you too."
"Why are you so sure that I like you?" I raised an eyebrow as I asked him that question.
I didn't know how to tell if I liked him or not, but definitely... I am attracted to him, and I can't deny that.
He already caught my attention back in my first year of college. He's handsome, and he has that aura that makes people turn their heads when they see him. That's the effect he had on me back then, but because I knew what kind of guy he was, I did everything to avoid him.
I did the same with Mason and Ash.
But now, they're both coming to me at once.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Because you kissed me back," he replied without hesitation. He brought his face closer to mine, tucking a few strands of my hair that had fallen over my face behind my ear. "I never saw you doing those things with another man."
He quickly pulled his face away from me, but it felt like a surge of electricity ran through my body because of what he did. I closed my eyes as I tried to calm down and forget what he had done earlier.
"I was just trying to see what it feels like, Ash. It just so happens that you're always the one initiating these kisses, so I'm experimenting with you right now."
Of course, that wasn't true. I never even thought about dating from the start, let alone kissing someone.
"And what did you just say? You haven't seen me kissing anyone else? Maybe it's because you haven't caught me yet, Ash."
I'll never let him know that he was my first, and I'll break his ego if I can.
He didn't respond immediately, which made me smirk.
"Bring me back to the school now," I commanded as I looked at my surroundings.
It was a good thing that there's no other people here at this hour, or else, they might have thought the wrong thing.
"Aside from that, you said you hate me," I said, recalling what he had said earlier. "You should keep feeling that way. It will be better for both of us."
I was about to get off below him, but I couldn't when he grabbed both my shoulders and pushed me back down.
"I won't let you, Sapphire."
His jaw tightened as he stared at me, gripping my shoulders firmly. His eyes were filled with hatred... and another emotion I couldn't quite identify.
What was it? Was he angry at me because he couldn't have me the way he has other women?
Is that it, Ash?
"I'll make you realize that what we're doing right now isn't just an experiment."
I groaned when suddenly, Ash pulled me by the neck and kissed me. Unlike his earlier gentle kisses, this one was rough. He was careful, but his kisses were forceful. It felt like he was trying to devour my entire mouth if that was even possible. Why can't I push him away?
I arched my back in relief as Ash's kisses traveled from my lips down to my neck and collarbone. He lingered on my neck as if it were his favorite food, licking and lightly sucking it without pause.
I wanted to stop him, but at the same time, I wanted him to continue.
It felt like what he was doing wasn't enough. His hands on my stomach seemed like they were trying to make me beg for his touch.
I closed my eyes and unconsciously bit my lower lip, trying to stifle my moans. No. I should suppress it.
"Ah!" A loud moan escaped from my lips. "Fuck you, Ash!"
He had gripped my right breast. There's no way I wouldn't moan because of that!
"You were trying so hard to hold back your moans," he smirked before looking at my right breast that he had squeezed, "so I needed to take it to the next level."
Judging by his expression, he seemed quite pleased with what he had done... and that's also when I noticed how his crotch was bulging between his legs. It had been trying to escape from his pants for a while now.
Instead of responding, I flipped him off before standing up. He didn't stop me this time since he was already standing a bit farther away.
He didn't try to come near me. He seemed content just watching me as I straightened my wrinkled skirt.
"I should be the only one who sees you in this state... and hearing your moans, just like earlier," he said as he looked me up and down. "You should only be like this for me, Sapphire. No one else can make you moan like I do. Remember that."

Even though he said it softly, it rang loudly in my ears.
As he stared at me, his gaze darkened, and he clenched his jaw like he remembered something he didn't want to.
"I'll kill anyone who tries to take you away from me, even if it's my best friend. Always remember that. You're mine, even if you don't want to." "CAN'T YOU finish that quickly? I've been asking you to do it since earlier, haven't I?" Evangeline said irritably, massaging her temples.
She was trying to calm herself. It was the last day to prepare for the upcoming freshmen week, and yet the decorations were still not done.
Time was running out, and on top of that, some of the designs were ruined. The auditorium hadn't been locked yesterday, allowing some students to get in and damage the decorations we made-most likely from the College of Tourism building.
Prescilla was frantically fixing the damaged decorations inside the auditorium. She was the one who forgot to lock the door when she left the auditorium.
But Evangeline was at fault, too. As the president, we were all under her authority, so she should have at least checked yesterday if Prescilla had completed all her tasks before leaving the university.
"I never say anything when Vincent is always here, but can you please focus on your task?" Evangeline commanded. "I assigned you to decorations because I know how talented you are, but if you continue being complacent like this, you might as well quit. I don't need people like you here."
That was the last thing Evangeline said before walking away from us.
She was scarier today than usual.
"She's just angry," I told Prescilla, who seemed torn between crying or finishing the new design. "Don't take her words seriously. She'll apologize when she calms down... maybe."
"She won't do that," she replied, referring to Evangeline. We all knew how stubborn she could be. "But thank you, Sapphire. You should go after her before she gets mad at you. You know how much she hates you."
"Yeah, right." I waved goodbye to her and followed Evangeline.
