Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

Charles forcibly took me to his house.

"Go remove your makeup, so I can apply ointment on your face."

He pushed me towards the bathroom and urged me to take off my makeup.

"No."

I stood still and turned to refuse him again.

"Do you really think the ointment is going to work if I apply it on top of your makeup?"

Charles frowned and continued in a domineering tone, "Hurry up! I'm going to get the first aid kit."

Without resisting again, I walked straight into the bathroom.

It was because I wanted him to finish applying the soon, so that I can leave the place.

I removed my makeup and walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as I wiped my face dry, Charles pushed me down on the couch.

He leaned close to me, and I was able to feel his warm breath against my ear.

He smelled good, but the intimacy between us was making me feel uncomfortable.

"What is this all about?"

Why did he have to be in such an intimate position with me just to apply ointment? I was really starting to doubt if he was doing it on purpose.

"I can see better this way."

Charles then dipped a cotton swab in the ointment and applied it on my face gently.

But it hurt, and I wanted to stop him as I gasped and trembled.

Then, I realized that he was not going to let me go until he was done applying ointment for me, so I gave up the idea of protesting and endured the pain, biting my lip.

"Does it hurt?"

Charles asked, looking into my eyes.

We were so close, and compared with the pain, his heartbeat made me feel more uneasy, so I shook my head and tried to push him away.

But he grabbed my hands like it was nothing.
