Chapter 14: Punish Me

"What do you-" My words halted upon seeing the woman with her face on the ground, completely out of balance.

I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. That was harsh! He could have just pushed her to the side, but why did he have to shove her off?

"Hey," Ash suddenly called, grabbing my chin as he turned my face to him. "Focus on me."

My face reddened for a moment, but as soon as I snapped to my senses, I quickly removed his hand, and he laughed at what I did. "I won't report you to the council, so you don't need to worry about it." "But why won't you report it? You hate bad guys," he answered, placing his hands on the side of my head, preventing me from escaping. "Then punish the bad guy in front of you, Sapphire."

I immediately looked on the other side, diverting my gaze as my heart couldn't take it, but again, he held my chin, making me look at him.

"Punish me," Ash said again, snapping me back to reality.

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked, tilting my head to the side in confusion.

Did I hear it correctly? He's commanding me to punish him?

"I said, punish me," he repeated with much authority this time. "Do it. I don't mind."

"What the hell. Are you crazy?" I scoffed as I crossed my arms over my chest. "Or are you just telling me this because you know that I can't report someone influential like you to the council?"
