Chapter 118: Don’t Dismiss My Feelings Like That

I backed away, making me dizzy from the quick movement. I was about to fall when I felt his hands gripping my arm tightly.

"Let me go," I told Ash firmly, but he didn't listen.

He slowly pulled me toward a couch. He sat in front of me, grabbed the drink from the glass, and downed it.

"Why the fuck are you here?" I asked him.

"This place doesn't belong to you," he answered before downing another drink.

He looked pissed... yet hot.

I shook my head at the thought. This must be because of the alcohol. If I had known it was him, I wouldn't have done something so embarrassing. "Rest and call a cab. Go home," Ash commanded.

"Why would I?" I raised an eyebrow. "I'm not done enjoying myself here."

"Because you're looking for someone to fuck?"

His jaw clenched as he stared at me, his gaze darkening.

"What happened to you, Sapphire?" he asked incredulously. "Is this what you've been doing since you left?"

"Guess who's talking, Ash."

He was turning the tables. Instead of feeling the lust, I felt my blood boil because of him.

"You know what? I can't wait to kill you and your whole clan." I leaned back on the chair and closed my eyes... only to open them again as I felt someone's lips crashing into mine.

I tried pushing him away, but he quickly grabbed both my hands and pinned them to my sides. I knew I could use my legs... but his kisses were so gentle yet aggressive at the same time.

I felt him biting my lower lip, and I groaned. He used the opportunity to explore inside my mouth.
