Chapter 8 - Mistaken (1/2)

When she was done taking a bath and fixing herself, she went out of the bathroom and saw the handsome stranger sitting at the edge of the bed, staring out of the full-sized window while puffing a cigarette. Fortunately, he decided to cover his arousal with his black trousers, but his upper torso was kept bȧrė with clearly defined muscles, spelling strength and stamina.

So manly and ėrȯtɨċ that made Luna force herself to look away but failed.

He seemed deep in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that she was staring at him.

Luna struggled to even out her breathlessness as she looked at this man who she knew now so intimately.

She cleared her throat, intending to get his attention.

”I have to go …”

”You think you can just leave me like that?” Hero asked without turning his head in her direction.

Luna frowned. What did he mean by that? She should be the one complaining to him right now. Didn't he admit that he was aware while she was drunk when they did the deed? She succeeded in remembering their discussion before she answered him.

”I cannot be your woman. I'm already taken.” Luna didn't like the way it sounded. It was like she was trying to convince herself that Jasper would still accept her after all.

Hearing what she said, Hero turned to her with a devilish smirk on his lips. That gorgeous smile seemed so natural on him, making her heart skip a beat in his presence. He was so sinfully handsome, and Luna wouldn't be surprised if women threw themselves on his path just to get his attention. Attention that she had right now.

”My darling. You cannot escape from me.” He paused as his expression seemed to sharpen.

”Even so ...” Luna supposed she owed him some explanation, but it was really mortifying on her part. ”I cannot be with you just because we had sėx last night.”

Yes, it was purely out of ŀust. She was sure that there was no love between them, so why was he insisting on making her his woman? She has nothing to offer. Heck, she wouldn't even believe if he claimed he was short in admirers and willing women.

”So you think Jasper Mo will still accept you?”
