Selena was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter at Aaron's words, taking in his charming yet mischievous expression.

"Aaron, have you been hanging around Lucas too much? Everything you do seems to be about indulging your twisted pleasures without caring about how others feel. What is it with your circle? Is this some kind of tradition?"

Aaron's gaze darkened as he pulled her closer. "Selena, are you acting so rebellious because you're afraid you might fall for me?"

"That's impossible!" Selena instinctively retorted. "How could I ever like you?"

Aaron's expression grew more serious, but he continued, "If that's the case, then what are you afraid of? Why are you running away? The two of us being together is just about enjoying the moment. Our bodies are in sync, our souls match-what more do we need?"

Selena opened her mouth to argue but found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

He wasn't wrong.

Their physical connection was undeniable, and being with him often brought her a unique pleasure.

Seeing her hesitation, Aaron pressed on, "So, stop overthinking it and just focus on enjoying yourself."

Selena lowered her gaze and replied, "Even so, it should still be mutual. Right now, I'm reluctant to be with you, and I don't want to be forced. Can you respect that? If you can't, then it's just your enjoyment-I won't feel anything."

With a firm tug, she finally freed her hand from his grasp. "So why should I play along with this pointless game?"

Aaron narrowed his eyes. Mutual enjoyment?
