Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

Charles had just taken a shower, and his fresh, minty fragrance enveloped me.

The pleasant smell coming off his skin was rendering my mind in shambles.

He rubbed his nose against my neck.

Every time he touched me, I felt like my bloodstream turned into white water.

The excitement was getting more and more difficult for me to hide.

He suckled on my neck and then ran his teeth gently on it.

As I heaved a nervous breath, he buried his face on my shoulder, and I felt him smile.

"What the hell are you doing, Charles? Why are you treating me like this? We shouldn't be playing these kinds of games."

I covered my face to hide my shame.

It was so typical of him to treat me like some plaything.

When we were younger, he used to pull pranks on me and make me cry on Halloween and April Fools' Day, and then he would laugh in a low voice as he did now.

What on earth was so damn funny? I did not get it at all.

"All right.I'm sorry.I won't make fun of you anymore.Please stop crying.Your aggrieved look is already driving me insane."

Charles wiped away the tears from my eyes and then lowered his head to kiss my chin and cheek.

‘'Oh, please, stop"

I begged in my heart.I covered my face again.I wanted to start sobbing, but I held it in.

Why was he being like this? Did he not know that he was just leading me on with such sweet and gentle actions? Seeing that I was about to start crying again, Charles stopped kissing me and then leaned against the door with me in his arms.

He twirled my hair in his finger like he was so fascinated by it.

"If you really want to have sex, then just go to Rita and stop pestering me." I wiped my tears and tried to get rid of Charles.

"Rita is not in good health.It's not appropriate "

Charles replied seriously and kissed my hair

"But it's okay to do it with me? You're really lowering my opinion of you.Have you no shame? Sleeping with two people at the same time is disgusting."

I cast a cold glance at Charles.

I felt so wronged.

He was really making me feel cheap.

Did I not have some self-respect? Did he think that I was a streetwalker who would take off my clothes and open my legs for 20 dollars? Charles did not say anything more.

He just hugged me in silence.
