I placed a pair of furry slippers at the entrance. As there was no response, I shifted my gaze to the door.
That was when I saw a stern-looking man with an unfathomable gaze at the door, his slender figure looming over me.
I could not help but frown. Why is Ashton here? He should be lying on Rebecca’s bed now.
I wanted to close the door, but Ashton stopped me in time. As his face darkened, he demanded, “Who are you waiting for?”
He pushed against the door so hard that I couldn’t close it. With that, I gave up and replied languidly, “Who else could I be waiting for in the middle of the night? Of course someone who can ease my loneliness.”
He blocked me in after entering. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes as he sneered, “Ease your loneliness?”
Then he straightened his hip and thrust it at me. “Do you think your loneliness can be eased by this?”
At a loss for words, my face flushed a bright red.
“Why’re you so quiet?” While pressing his body against mine, he landed a soft kiss on my forehead.
Then, things started getting steamy.
“Why didn’t you go home?” He bit my lip and continued in a hoarse voice, “Why are you hiding here?”
“Ashton, let go of me!” I had never seen such a brazen guy. He was just doting on Rebecca earlier on, but now he had the audacity to come here and mess around with me.
He held me close and whispered, “Do you think I’m able to do that now?”
I was dumbfounded.
Usually, I would have played along. However, after the previous incident, I could hardly respond whenever he touched me.
He frowned after noticing that I gave no reaction when he was fingering me. Following that, he carried me to the shoe cabinet and placed me on top of it.
I immediately stopped him when he tried to take my clothes off. “Don’t even bother. I don’t seem to feel anything toward you anymore.”
I did not know what precipitated it. Sometimes things might seem fine on the surface, but deep down, they were already riddled with holes.
Furrowing his brows, Ashton stared at me coldly. “No feelings toward me?”
I opened my mouth to speak, but no words could escape from it.
Abruptly, he grabbed my hand and dragged me to the bathroom. I was then held in place under the showerhead with the icy cold water raining over me.
