Soon, his hands started roaming over my body.
As a result, my breathing became erratic. Snaking my arms around his neck, I responded to his kiss. For some reason, somewhere deep inside me yearned for his touch just after a few short days of being away from him.
Could I have really fallen in love with him?
No. That’s impossible. Why would I? Yes, he’s helped me a few times before, but how could I fall in love with him after the way he treated me? Not unless I’m a masochist.
Besides, I’m already with Yuval now and should stay loyal to him. I can’t let anything happen between Michael and I anymore, especially in bed.
At the thought of Yuval, I regained some rationality and used all my strength to shove Michael away. Then, I frantically straightened out of disheveled clothes.
Michael probably never expected me to push him away. Surprise flashed in his eyes, but it soon morphed into rage.
“Anna!”
Men often found it hard to accept sexual rejection, especially a man like Michael, who became animalistic once aroused. Right then, he was probably so furious he wanted to strangle me to death.
“Michael, we can’t do this anymore.”
I bowed my head, unable to meet Michael’s blazing eyes. Once he flew into a rage, he could get really terrifying. Perhaps what I feared most was being at the receiving end of his wrath.
“We’re already halfway through and you’re telling me we can’t do this anymore? Are you messing with me, Anna?”
Michael wore a gloomy expression. A mixture of desire and anger swirled in his eyes, and the dangerous aura he emanated was overpowering.
“I… I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
Even though Michael was the one who initiated it, I had shamelessly responded to his advances. If I hadn’t done that, he probably wouldn’t have become so aroused.
Desperate to escape from here, I swiveled around and opened the door. Panic rose in me when I thought about how close we were to getting it on just now. I knew I couldn’t stay here any longer because I had no idea what would happen next.
I wanted to leave, but Michael seemed determined to keep me here. As soon as I opened the door, he yanked me back. Then, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
He imprisoned me in his arms and pinned me with a steely gaze. I knew he was mad.
“Let me go, Michael.”
