Chapter 327 Where Exactly?

Cassian froze instinctively the moment he realized Raven was awake.

For some reason, her gaze made him feel a pang of guilt.

And her eyes were sharp and clear at that moment, showing no trace of grogginess. In other words, she was awake when Cassian opened the door.

Raven’s gaze swept over Cassian beside her, then fell upon the handcuffs near her wrist.

She stared at the handcuffs for a couple of seconds before turning back to Cassian’s striking face. Her expression carried a teasing edge as she said, “Babe, what are you up to?”

Feeling Raven’s gaze upon him, Cassian’s guilt surged to its peak.

For some reason, even though he instinctively believed what he was about to do was perfectly reasonable and justified, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Raven had caught him red–handed doing something wrong.

Raven raised an eyebrow and said, “Hmm?”

That simple word sent an uncontrollable jolt through Cassian’s chest.

‘What should I do?‘ he wondered.

The feeling of being caught in the act only grew stronger.

“Click!” Just as Cassian frantically searched for an excuse, the sound of locks snapping shut echoed from his wrists. “Click!” Just as Cassian frantically searched for an excuse, the sound of locks snapping shut echoed from his wrists.

Instinctively, he looked down at the source of the noise.

To his shock, the custom–made handcuffs he’d prepared to use on Raven were now securely fastened around his wrists.

Before he could react, Raven yanked his arm with force.

Caught off guard, Cassian stumbled and fell onto the bed.

Then, Raven flipped him over and pinned him down with a swift move.

Cassian instinctively tried to struggle and get up.

He hadn’t forgotten his plan for today.

He was supposed to be the one in control, not the one being pinned.

But before he could make much of an effort, Raven firmly pressed his wrists down, leaving him completely immobilized.

Raven scrutinized the current Cassian with her eyes.

“Hmm, not the same as yesterday,” she mused. “So, has Cassian become his former self before last night?”

But Raven didn’t bother dwelling on it.

After all, no matter which side of him it was, he was still the man she loved.

With a faint smile, she looked down at Cassian beneath her, her voice carrying a playful edge as it reached his ears. “Babe, since when did you get so bold? Not only did you come to me willingly, but you even brought your props?”

Cassian froze, thinking, ‘Fine, I can admit I came to her willingly, but preparing props for myself? I’d rather die than admit it.’ Raven raised an eyebrow at the aggrieved look on Cassian’s handsome face.

“What? Did I say something wrong?” she teased.

Cassian pressed his lips together, staying silent.

‘I’m not stupid,‘ he thought. ‘I know what will happen if I dare to tell the truth. But today, I must make one of my long–held wishes come true.‘

Resolving himself, Cassian blinked those usually cool eyes of his.

And then, as if by magic, a shimmering layer of unshed tears appeared in his captivating eyes.

The stark contrast was so unexpected that Raven froze for a moment.

‘Since when did my proud sweetheart learn to play the victim this well?‘ she wondered. ‘Is this some influence from his personality as a prodigy?‘

Under Raven’s probing gaze, Cassian finally parted his lips. words. “It hurts.”

Raven’s heart softened a little more.
