Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 53: Ash’s Protection

"WHERE are we?" I asked while panting and sweating profusely.

My back was pressed against the wall as I tried to fan myself with both hands. I told myself I'd only talk to him for a minute, but how much time had passed since I left the hospital?

"I don't know, but I guess this is a safe place." Ash replied, staring at me. "Well, as long as you're with me, you'll always be safe."

"Thank you," I whispered as I tried to wipe the sweat from my forehead with my palm. "What?"

"I never expected to hear that," he said in disbelief, staring at me. "What a good girl."

Ash stepped closer and patted my head like I was a dog, causing me to frown and lightly slap his hand away.

But what he asked next shocked me.

"Do you want to play a game with me?" Ash asked, leaning forward as he caressed my chin.

I raised an eyebrow. "A game?"

"A love game..." He placed his lips on my ear, slightly licking my earlobe. "Whoever falls in love first, loses. If you're really confident that you won't fall for someone like me, then play the game with me." Ash bit my ear, and a pool of hits struck my body. "What can you say, Miss good girl? Are you in?"

"A game, huh..." I smirked, shaking my head. "Then you already lost. You claimed that you like me, right?"

"Well, you're right," Ash answered, chuckling. "Dang, why would I even participate in a losing game? I forgot that I'm already swayed by you."

I looked at him, and tons of questions filled my mind. To make sure that he really likes me... There's only one way to find out.

"What if... we have a one-night stand, Ash?" I asked boldly, taking the initiative.
