Chapter 104: Chapter 53.2

“Ha! Cassian.”

She was out of breath.

Cassian pushed his lips against hers without giving her a moment and it drove her out of her mind.

He squeezed her shoulder and twisted her head.

However, she couldn’t stand being forced to follow his lead when it came to kissing.

“I! I! I——”

She wanted to tell him to give her time to breathe but Cassian seemed determined not to let her speak.

Holding Yernia’s chin, he slipped his tongue between her parted lips.

She had no idea how many minutes it had been.

She couldn’t tell how long it had been since she started guiding him.

Cassian was pushing it too hard that she didn’t even have the time to check.

No matter how long it had been, Yernia felt that her guiding would last more than an hour.

Cassian approached her roughly even if she already told him to slow down multiple times but he kept acting like he didn’t hear her pleas.

Yernia calmed down for a while when Cassian started to move slowly but then he became fierce once again.

Just when she assumed his kisses became softer, Cassian suddenly held the back of Yernia’s head firmly and changed the angles of their faces.

She had no idea why Cassian was doing this.

How did they end up kissing instead of guiding?

She didn’t intend to kiss Cassian during her first attempt at guiding him but he insisted that they do it when he asked.

According to him, it was the most natural method of guidance.

Yernia accepted his torrid kisses, thinking it wasn’t that bad.

She didn’t know this would happen every single tie.

“I… I can’t… breathe—-”

“Part your lips for me, Yernia.”

“Stop! Stop!”

“It’s still not enough. I need more.”

“I’m going to die at this rate——”

Yernia shook her head, breathing hard.

He examined her flushed cheeks for a moment when she said she couldn’t breathe.

From his countenance, she guessed the color didn’t look good.

Cassian remained still with his lips off her as if he already decided to let her slide.

Yernia kept exhaling heavy breaths while Cassian’s breathing was similarly rough, their chests moving up and down.

“Are you mad?”

“Why do you think so?”

She wouldn’t ask if he was angry if she actually knew it.

“I don’t know. I just think you’re angry at me for some reason. You won’t even let me breathe.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Your voice changed subtly, as well.”

Cassian went silent for a while as he gave Yernia a cool stare.

“What did you two talk about?” He asked.

“What? With whom?”

“With Jennan. Yesterday.”

Why would he ask that from out of the blue?

She didn’t expect Jennan’s name mentioned in this situation.

Yernia thought for a moment.

Yesterday, Cassian gave Yernia a hard time by using ‘guiding’ as an excuse.

He did the same thing today, as well.

Today, he also asked her about her conversation with Jennan yesterday.

Did he want to know that badly?

“If you were curious about that, you should ask him. Why are you bothering me?”

“So what did you say?”

Jennan just said some strange things.

That’s all.

When Cassian, who seemed to be in a bad mood, came closer, Jennan said something to Yernia and then he left her, afterwards.

She already knew Cassian hated Jennan so much and she didn’t want to argue with him because of that.

She decided to avoid the subject altogether but Cassian became more ruthless in finding out the truth.

“I didn’t tell him anything much. I told him I would support him when he asked me to do it for him.”

She said something else, but this discussion might become even more complicated if she brought it up now.

Then, Yernia recalled what Jennan told her.

“If you’re confused, do what your head tells you to do. Don’t follow your heart.”

Cassian seemed jealous even if she thought it wasn’t possible.

He had another person to love and his fated guide was the heroine of this novel.

The current plot had veered far from the original novel when her name began to appear on Cassian’s skin.

However, she couldn’t find  Cassian’s name on her body no matter how many times she looked for it.

In addition, there was a possibility that the current plot would still flow back to the original one.

If two names appeared on his skin, it was Yernia, not Herena, who would be abandoned.

“Don’t run away from me, Yernia.”

Cassian kissed her lips again when he noticed her lost in her thoughts.

Where did her fierce and stubborn spirit go?

Yernia used to argue with him even if their lips were still pressed against each other.

His lips touched hers tightly when he added,  “I don’t like it.”

Yernia felt that this shouldn’t go on for too long.

She had to take action.

If she stayed with Cassian like this, she would be the only one who would get hurt.

She was just guiding him because that was her role.

Yernia clenched her fist.
