Only then did Ren realize that he was still grabbing her wrist. He released his grip on it, but just when Ruka thought the man was going to let her off, he held her chin with his fingers. The next instant, he kissed her on the lips, as if nothing could stop him once he crossed the line he had drawn for himself.
âMmm...â Ruka pushed him immediately as her first instinct was that they couldnât do this. This is wrong. This is unreasonable.
However, the manâs body was as immovable as a mountain, and his lips were full of the minty aroma of wine. Only then did Ruka realize that he had drunk alcohol. This is even more dangerous. âRen Husson...â She finally warned him by calling him by his full name.
Ren let go of her while panting slightly as his tall figure loomed over her like a shadow. His chest heaved up and down, and he stared at the lady in his arms with dark, fathomless eyes. He had been longing for this kiss for the entire night. âWhat did you call me just now? he asked in a husky voice with a seductive flicker in his eyes.
âRen Husson.â Ruka bit her lip while avoiding his intense gaze.
âGreat. I like it.â The man accepted it happily. Then, he whispered in her ear and warned in a husky voice, âGo back to your room and donât come out again.â
Ruka looked up and saw the manâs eyes, which were so fathomless as though they were going to devour everything like a black hole. âIâll move out tomorrow,â she said with integrity. Since heâd be so greatly affected if she stayed at his place, she might as well leave.
âYouâre not allowed to leave,â the man ordered overbearingly.
Everyone had a line that couldnât be crossed, including Ruka. Moreover, she was a living person, so sheâd also lose her temper upon being ordered around like this. âWhat do you want me to do, then? If you really crave for women, there are lots of women who are willing to serve you. I think Miss Parfait will be more than happy to do that,â she replied in annoyance, though she didnât know what had given her the courage to say this to him.
Ren took a step back. With his arms folded, he looked her up and down with a dangerous squint. âDo you think Iâm such a casual man?â
âWhy me, then?â Ruka couldnât wrap her head around it. She went abroad at 16 years old and hadnât come back for nearly 5 years since then. Since when did Ren fall in love with her?
Ren also wanted to ask himself the same question. Why her, of all people? But heâd been unable to find the answer to the question. After letting out a sigh, he replied in a husky voice, âDonât worry, I wonât force you to do anything. Just stay here with peace of mind.â
