The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 95
Gary’s expression suddenly changed. In astonishment, he asked, “You figured it out?“
I cackled coldly and said, “Have you forgotten? I’ve always received full marks for military-related subjects. Why wouldn’t I be able to recognize an emblem like that? Why don’t you just tell me what’s going on? And don’t even think that I’ll do anything else for you unless you give me a straight answer! “
The awkward atmosphere from earlier had vanished completely at that moment. My abrasive attitude came as a shock to Gary, and he looked at me like he was confirming I was the same person he knew before.
After a long time, he finally shook his head and replied coldly, “I can not disclose anything to those who aren’t core members. This is a military mission. I’m sure you can understand the situation I’m in, Linda. But I can assure you that I won’t put you in harm’s way again…“
He clutched my hand that was outside the blanket. Then, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and his pupils dilated as he continued. “Linda…I won’t let that beast violate you…“
“Shut up! “ With the fury of a cat that had its tail stepped on, I glared at him intensely, and I even clenched my fists, wanting to give him a good beating. “Say one more word and you’ll have a taste of my fist!“
He stared at me for a while as he sat on the edge of my bed. Suddenly, he bent down and crushed my body with his. I was locked into his embrace as he leaned down to try and kiss me.
But the moment his lips touched mine, the anger in me had erupted, and it fueled my legs with the strength to kick him off the bed.
I huddled the blankets and inched closer to the wall to fix my clothes speedily. Then, like an animal that had been provoked, I bellowed at him, “Get out! “
But Gary just stood there frozen.
Furious, I got down from the bed and pushed him out of the cabin before slamming the door shut.
After that, I felt the weariness start to take over my body, so I switched off the lights and lied down on the bed.
