“I can do it myself,” I exclaimed and took the towel from him.

But he refused and held the towel away from me.

The anger that I had been suppressing rose again. Pursing my lips, I glared at him. “Ashton…”

But before I could finish my sentence, he cupped my face and abruptly pressed his lips against mine.

I wanted to push him away, but it was futile. He locked me within his arms and kissed me hard as if it was a punishment from him. It made me breathless.

If he had not heard me gasping for air, he would have continued kissing.

As he released his grip on me, our eyes met for a moment, but I averted my gaze and ignored him.

He narrowed his eyes and pinched my chin forcefully. “Am I not the one who should be angry?”

He gazed at me gloomily as though he had been wronged.

I pushed his hand away and shot daggers at him. “Then you should go away and sulk. Leave me alone. I want to sleep.”

Ashton could not help but laugh at my words. “Scarlett, can you please be reasonable?”

“No!” I said defiantly. I know I’m throwing a fit, but I don’t care.

Seeing my attitude, he said no more and threw his coat aside before unbuttoning his shirt with his slender fingers.

As he stood there, removing his clothes gracefully in front of me, he smirked and gazed suggestively at me.
