Beauty POV

Her alluring gaze pierced through my legs. I swallowed because I couldn't think straight or move. Her intense stare seemed to hold me back.

Damn you, Aidan!

"You better run, Beauty...run before I change my mind." I swallowed and looked at the closed door. My hands were sweating profusely. There was still a mischievous grin on her lips as if she knew what I was thinking.

I don't know if she's really playing because, in the first place, the door is already locked.

"Hmm...unless you want to pay me now, don't you?" She breathily whispered in my ears as she teased me.

"Let me leave---"

"I'm asking you if you're ready to pay." I was taken aback when she unexpectedly spoke in Tagalog. There was an accent in her voice that shocked me a bit. Why does it sound so sexy?

She licked her red lips as she thought about something. I quickly averted my gaze. She then let go of the knife she was holding and stood up. I immediately noticed the tattoo of a snake on her arm.

"Aren't you comfortable on the floor?" She asked coldly, making the hair on my body stand on end.

"W-What do you mean?" I nervously asked.

"Or do you want to do it in my bed?" She smirked playfully, as if enjoying teasing me. I blushed at her words.

This woman is a pervert!

"I'm not interested, you're not my type." I almost bit my tongue as I let out those words. That's a lie.

She chuckled softly and bit her lip. She didn't seem offended by what I said. She was enjoying it.

She lit a cigarette in front of me. After a while, I felt a hand lift my chin. Our eyes met.

"Tell me, Beauty. What are you doing in my h*ll place?" She stared at me seriously. I couldn't answer her question and just kept my mouth shut.

She never left my eyes.

"I r-really don't know," I murmured.

"Careful, baby." Her mere voice sent shivers down my spine. She slowly lowered the hem of my nightdress and her warm finger grazed my skin. It felt like electricity flowing through my body.

I couldn't move. My body didn't protest her touch. And that's why I hate myself for being like this.

I closed my eyes when she pulled the fabric off my shoulder and brushed her warm lips. She slightly kissed my shoulder, making me curse in my mind.

"Damn you in the depths of h€ll, Aidan!" I wanted to shout at her, but my body was too weak.

"This hickey looks good on you."

"Come on, Beauty. I'll invite you to go to the bar just this once. Please! Please." I sighed deeply.

Xiana pouted as she tried to get me to join them. Actually, they were my groupmates in our thesis, and they suddenly invited me. I wanted to reject their offer, but I thought I should socialize with them sometimes.

"Fine, what time?" I asked.

"Tonight!"

"I told you she'd agree."

"6 pm later," Tiana replied with a smile. I just nodded. They were easy to get along with because they were very friendly.

They insisted that I go with them, so I just shrugged. We were walking to campus. They were chatting while I listened quietly.

"Hey, don't be noisy!" Lance scolded us. He slightly bowed as if afraid to look up.

"Gosh, don't look at them," Liana whispered softly, so I was confused by their actions.

I furrowed my brows and looked up as if avoiding them. From the second floor of the building, a man stood in a white t-shirt, leaning on the railings while holding a cigarette.

"He's scary," Tiana whispered, and they quickly walked away.

"D*mn. He looks devilishly sexy," Liana whispered softly and nervously. The two of them exchanged playful hits.

I looked back at the man. His face was serious, as if lost in thought. He looked more menacing and dangerous while smoking.

"But he's a dangerous man, you all know that. He has a bad attitude. And his image isn't good," Piana said seriously.

The two fell silent, and I was confused by their conversation. I didn't know that man. I hadn't seen him since I started here.

Piana looked at me. Her face remained serious as if she could read my thoughts.

"You don't want to know. He's a dangerous man, or let's say he's more than that."

Lance and Liana were speechless after hearing from Piana. I looked up again at the man we were talking about earlier.

I was surprised to see him looking at our spot. Our eyes met. His gaze was serious and menacing.

I averted my gaze and clenched my fist. My palm suddenly felt cold. He's very scary and so intimidating.

"This hickey looks good on you."
