IN THE CAGE

71. OBSESSIONS

FAWN pov

...----------------...

"I like you, Fawnia."

Those words were something I never thought I would hear from Ace. Not when we just had chocolate on the couch like a little kid, fighting with his mouth lightly because he was always annoying, and looking simple and boring.

The confession of love in my mind was a spectacular moment. Something that happens when two partners are in a focused and serious state. Something that happens like in a drama. The opening words will start with something thrilling, then the recognition will be the pinnacle that makes a woman's heart melt to the floor.

A confession of love should be something that makes you flowery. But the love confession of an Ace Hunter has had a tremendous amount of confusion. My eyes looked at the man as if he was crazy and was joking. But nil. I found no awkwardness or signs he was going to blow up a laugh. He looked at me with sincerity and a terrifying calmness.

What am I supposed to say?

What the hell am I feeling?

My heart is beating wildly.

"You..., why all of a sudden?" I opened my voice-and it was the first time I had such a hard time speaking. I felt my body heat increase instantly.

"I think there's no reason to pretend and be quiet." Ace responded to me with a thin smile. His hand still faithfully clasped my wrist. The touch was very delicate, but his reaction to my heart was intense. I had trouble breathing under those eyes.

"What about you, Fawn? What are you feeling?"

The question I was most afraid of finally hit me. What do I feel for an Ace Hunter bastard? Whahuh?

I.., I don't know.

Love is something that is ambiguous and I have never experienced before. I don't know what I feel for her. I'm just...

"Do you hate me?"

Ideally, the answer to that question is yes. Unfortunately, I've strayed far from rationality, I. But that doesn't mean I forgive him. I just...., soften on him?

"I don't hate you" I replied. Sound vibrates stiffly.

"Then that answer is enough." Ace responded to me and this time gave me a gentle swab on the cheek. Her hands felt cold on my face. Is he just as nervous as I am?

"You don't have to make my confession a burden. I understand that our relationship began to fall apart, I will not seek justification or hope that you forget the incident. I've done you a lot of wrong. But.., even though this is selfish.., I want you to stay by my side."

When I think about it, this confession is good. This confession is the fruit of my plan to lure Ace Hunter. Made him fall in love and love me. This should have been a victory for me, but why do I feel sad?

If I leave her, does that mean I'll hurt her too?

"Fawnia?"

"Sorry. It's the first time anyone has admitted to liking me." I forced laughter. "It's so foreign and taboo to me. You too.., I don't see any reason why you like me."

I'm his prisoner, his toy. Even though we have coexisted, we are still opponents. Two people who can't make peace.

"It just happened." Ace's answer was unhelpful. What does it mean that this just happened?

"I like you, Fawnia. That's the main point, regarding things like excuses, you don't have to think about it. Your own existence is enough to explain my feelings."

"Are you poetic now?"

Ace immediately chuckled. "Your face is very red."

"Damn it, it's all your fault!" I don't understand what it's like for me to be so easily flushed. How can I hide my feelings if in the blink of an eye and a little sweet words, I will blush to the ears?

"Stop mocking me!" I lowered my hand in the end, inevitably. Then, with no exchange of words and only eyes adrift in serenity-Ace approached and gave a kiss on my lips. My heart fell into my stomach.

The kiss was very soft and delicate, like kissing the petals of cherry blossoms in spring. I closed my eyes and reopened them when I felt her lips leave me in a fraction of a second which was not enough.

"That's it?" I'm stunned.

"What do you mean that's all? Do you want me to give you more?"

This motherfucker's playing with me. I don't know since when, Ace started doing this often. Tempted me with a light touch and then stopped when I was already lusting after. I hate him like that. Where did the unforgiving Ace Hunter go even when I cried beneath it?

Eh?

Not that I expected his psychopathic side to be back as crumpled as before. I'm just.., give you an example. Yep. Is correct.

"Ace Hunter, you should stop messing with me!" Enough with this bastard. He thinks he can play me. Me too..., I can do the same thing, motherfucker!

"I won't let you touch me again!" I made that rule with my arms crossed over my chest. My eyes were fierce to him. "From today on, you should sleep on the couch."

"This is my home, why should I follow your crazy idea?"

"Then I'll sleep on the couch." It's not that hard.

"Are you angry because I didn't play with you?"

"Don't joke. I'm so grateful, so happy, so le-mmmppp!!!"

FUCKING ACE HUNTER, THIS IS CHEATING!!!

Why did he attack me all of a sudden? This is so unfair. Ughhh!!!

I tried to push him who was crawling forward on me, his face pressing on my lips kept retreating until I was lying on the sofa. The chocolate in my lap fell and littered the floor.

Unlike before, when the kiss that Ace gave me was just a light kiss - this time he bombarded me with a wild pawn that made it hard for me to survive. My breath was wheezing when the deep pagutannya and filled my oral cavity did not come off even when a few minutes had passed.

"Mhmmm-" I moaned. Hoping for his tongue exploring my mouth to stop for a moment. 

Like understanding my despair, Ace finally retreated a few millimeters from my face. He looked at me with a pair of witty sparkling eyeballs. "Why? Caved yet?"

"Damn it, are you pranking me? Tskc. Are you satisfied now?" I catch my breath. My eyes lit the bastard with a stifled vexation. He's a bastard, I'm serious. "Surge!"

"Who said I was satisfied?" Ace pressed his waist down on my waist, realizing that something was in a state of a-uh, waking up. "It's all your fault."

Ace whispered in my ear while swiping his body with my body. Waking up my passion and inviting me into his madness that again makes me hot is incredible. It's embarrassing and I know I can't win. Not when I don't want to win.

Braving myself by staring at her dark pair of neutrals wrapped in the fog of passion, I answered her whisper with a whisper. "Don't say much then."

Ace smirked at my response before returning to give a deep kiss on my lips. Fortunately, this time he played softly. I pulled her nape deeper into my face before returning back to her pagutan with the same intensity. Our bodies were clutched on the sofa, sharing the warmth as the sun began to sink out there.

"This is so sweet, you're so sweet." Ace spoke near my ear. He inhaled my nape deeply before giving a bite and suction that darkened my eyes. I don't know why-the thought that we did this after Ace confessed his feelings to me made my heart flower. It feels so different. Like every touch is a form of love. That, this man of no two beauty came to me in his arms - extraordinary.

I closed my eyes. Releasing some moans and ***** which is what fills the room.

I don't know what I'm feeling about Ace right now. But those scary things started to get etched into my heart. Slow down in silence and gripped my heart. The desire to make her love me more, just for me, that black obsession devoured me.

This is my fault.
