Chapter 276
The Imposter Bride
Soon enough, Callum, with his exceptional memory, mastered the simple game of rockâpaperâ
scissors, and started competing with Lexi.
Then, Lexi found herself in an unfortunate predicament. Despite being the one who taught Callum the game, she always ended up losing to him.
Even though she managed to avoid the penalty of singing a song with her unrivaled skill of playing the victim, Lexiâs spirits soared higher after downing another bottle of red wine Holding the empty wine bottle, she began singing and dancing. âWe cry, we laugh, we look up at the sky stars still shining bright. Because I just met you, leaving footprints so beautiful. Wind blows, flowers fall, tears like rain, because we donât want to part Lexâs melodious voice echoed in the room, and her petite figure and beautiful voice cast a spell on Callum Callum thought he was looking at his Buttercup alia for a fleeting moment. He quickly shook off the thought, chuckling at his drunken imagination. How did he see Lexi as Natalia? They looked nothing alike!
Outside, the wind and rain intensified, making the night even darker Inside, the room was littered with empty wine bottles. Lexi, drunk to the point of not knowing which way was up, was laughing foolishly, occasionally singing a few lines of a song. There was no denying it, she had put on a one woman concert tonight âItâs late. I need to go You should get some rest, too. Callum said, standing up from the floor and turning to leave. He had drunk a fair amount of wine with Lex, but the alcohol wasnât enough to make him drunk, it just made him a bit tipsy However, he had barely taken two steps when he felt his legs being held tightly Lexi threw herself at Callumâs legs, mumbling incoherently âDonât leave. Iâm scaredâ
Callumâs handsome brows furrowed, looking down at Lexi, who was clinging to his legs. âScared? What are you scared of?â
Lexi gave Callum a foolish grin, tightening her grip on his legs. âIâm scared of the witch, and the bigâ
nosed monster, and the redâeyed creatureâ
She spoke so quickly that Callum couldnât quite catch what she was saying, but he knew that these were probably figments of her imagination from some horror story âAlright, I wonât leave Iâll stay with you, okay? Callum crouched down, gently stroking Lexiâs hair. âIll be here with you, and help you fight those monstersâ
âMmâhmm, fight them off! Especially their king!â Lexi climbed onto Callumâs legs and rested her head on them âThe kingâ They have a king? Callum couldnât help but smile. She was really drunk Lexi prattled on, completely unaware of who she was talking to âYes, they have a king, the most despicable, fierce, and brutal tyrant. He has a name too. Callum. If you cross him, he will lock you up in a big castle with a dragon guarding you, and never let you leave.â
Callum was both amused and annoyed. So this is how she saw him when he wasnât around â as the most despicable, fierce, and brutal tyrant? He must not have been fierce enough in real life for her to make up such stories.
She needed to be punished!
As soon as the thought came to Callumâs mind, he flipped Lexi over and gave her a firm spank âLetâs see if you dare to blabber next time.â
Caught off guard by the spank, Lexiâs temper flared up instantly She glared at Callum. âYou, you hit me?*
âHehe, yeah What are you going to do about it?â Callum suddenly found it amusing to tease Lexi Lexi, in her drunken stupor, had no idea who was hitting her Acting on instinct, she bit down on the closest part of Callumâs body. âIâll bite you to death!â
While biting Callum, she also hit him hard on the thigh.
âHssâ Callum sucked in a breath To be honest, Lexiâs strength was nothing to him, but, the location where she bit him wasâ¦
And what was even worse was her little hand, which was not staying put!
Thatâs right! Lexiâs drunken hit was not just a hit, but could be considered harassment.
Callum quickly grabbed Lex, who was causing a ruckus on his thigh, and said hoarsely. âStop it!â
âHmph! I wonât You hit me first! Iâm going to bite here, here, and here,â Lexi said, lunging at Callumâs sensitive parts, completely oblivious to what she was doing.
âYou little minx, you asked for this!â Callumâs renowned selfâcontrol crumbled in an instant. He forcefully turned Lexi over, pinning her underneath him.
He looked down at Lexi, who was now beneath him Her seductive looks made his blood boil.
After a brief struggle, Lexs looked up at Callum with a dazed stare âYou think youâre so great just because youâre stronger? I wonât back down!â
With that, she lifted her head and bit down on Callumâs nose Callum easily escaped Lexis attack, but for his own safety, he had to seal her bewitching, mischievous lips. Lexi felt her mouth being bitten and was absolutely lived What could she do when she was bitten? Lexi had the answer, bite back!
When Callum forcibly silenced Lexiâs mischievous mouth, the defiant Lexi summoned all her strength to bite Callumâs lips âHssâA sigh escaped Callums lips. He threw all his restraint and guilt out the window, leaned down, and savored the intoxicating sweetness of Lexi He sealed her lips, deeply drawing in the taste of red wine and her unique fragrance, which filled all his senses Lex, too, gave as good as she got, fighting back with all her might.
Gradually, the air filled with an underlying current of intimacy, and their struggle turned into a tender embrace Slowly, it grew stronger, until it turned into bubbles of pink, filling the entire room With resolute determination, Callum cradled the girl in his arms and strode towards the regal four poster bed Kisses, possession a potent conquest that eventually subarded into tranquility Outside the window, the gentle patter of rain serenaded the whispering breeze. Inside the room, they lay entwined, their passion burning hot and fierce, then gradually simmering into a tender afterglow
