Chapter 312 - POSSESSIVENESS (1/2)

As Akira walked from the kitchen area, she found a handsome man waiting for her in the corridor. His lips were stretched in his usual wicked smile, but there was a trace of madness and a hint of obsession in his dark eyes.

That look made Akira pause in her steps, giving him an opening to approach her. ​​

The possessiveness in his eyes as he walked towards her scared something in her, but she did not turn away from him or attempt to walk away before he reached her. Instead, she stopped completely and faced him.

She looked directly into his strange eyes without backing down.

The hint of obsession seemed to intensify as he backed her into the hallway wall and trapped her with his arms around her. The kabe-don caused Akira to be enveloped by the scent of cherry blossoms and mint.

The man leaned closer to Akira's face until only a short distance was left between their faces and lips. Still, Akira maintained eye contact with him and refused to show any indication of fear.

Only her racing heartbeat betrayed the fact that she was not as calm as she appeared.

”You should be a little more self-aware, my little red panda.” Kaito finally breathed out and spoke with a tight voice.

Akira did not say anything. However, her large eyes held a bit of curiosity because she could not figure out why Kaito kept calling her a red panda.

Kaito smiled more wickedly and leaned even closer to her.

”If you keep being so cute and defenceless, I might just devour you.” His voice was full of seductive promise.

Akira did not move. ”You won't hurt me.”

The statement was said with irrevocable certainty.

Kaito looked at her with surprise. He wondered if she was naïve enough to believe her words. He was a good man, and she should have sensed it by now. But her clear eyes showed that she believed what she was saying.

The contradiction was strange.

However, the reason did not matter.

Seeing her like this, focussing all her attention on him, his earlier frustration and obsession was alleviated a little.

He closed his eyes and forced the traces of maniac possessiveness away from his eyes. When he opened his eyes, they were a little clearer.

”Don't let me catch holding hands with another man again.” He said unreasonably.

Akira frowned. She did not remember holding hands with anyone.

The confusion made Kaito both angry and helpless. He decided to change his tactics.

”Stay away from strange men.” He had to be forward and clear.

Akira was silent and looked at Kaito with keen focus.

”You are the only strange man I know.” She said mercilessly.
