Chapter 158

His massive tiger face appears around the open double main doors and our eyes meet for a long stare contest, more assertive than dominant, but when I narrow my eyelids in defiance he is the one to look away, ashamed.

All this uncomfortable and self-conscious behavior of his takes me back a little, I expected him to rise up and talk back, I don't know, to act more violently or go against the anger that I felt, instead he seems to… accept it almost and I much rather he reacts in any way possible than to simply take the beating in silence, as deserving as he is of it.

It is almost as if I am the one in the wrong here and bullying him damn Goddess.
