824 Are You Afraid of Me? (2/2)

”No.” A frightening aura blasted from him.

She almost fell off from on top of him. Her heart hammered inside her chest and her hot desire from just a few seconds ago was now replaced by cold sweat.

Then the malevolent aura disappeared as if it wasn't there in the first place. She stared at him with wide, confused eyes.

Did she imagine that horrible feeling just now? What in the world happened? She had no idea. All she knew was that her body became filled with terror all of a sudden as if it was facing a murderous beast.

Lu Zihao sat up while she was still straddling him. He pulled her in his arms and started rubbing her skin to warm her up. It was only a few moments later that she realized that she was actually shaking. He was murmuring something to her but she was unable to understand what he was saying. It sounded like he was trying to soothe her.

And it worked.

When she calmed down enough to stop shaking, he began to slowly kiss her. She melted under his surprisingly gentle ministrations and began to respond with her own slow kisses.

Their mouths separated and he looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. ”Are you afraid of me, Jinjing?”

A confused frown appeared on her face at the interruption.

”Answer me,” he said.

His question finally registered in her dazed mind. She shook her head. ”No. I'm not afraid of you, Nikolai.”

”Why not? You were shaking in fear because of me just now.”

Her dazed eyes became a little clearer. She remembered what happened earlier but couldn't explain it. Her frown deepened. ”T-that was just some kind of a…weird reaction. I don't think it was because of you. I'm not afraid of you.”

He didn't reply but continued to observe her with his intense eyes.

She cleared throat and squirmed a little under his heavy gaze. ”Although we don't know each other that well, my guts are telling me that you won't hurt me physically, so there's no reason for me to fear you.”

”You already know that I fuck hard. But you haven't yet experienced how hard I really fuck, Jinjing. I'm still taking it easy on you. I might accidentally hurt you—”

”That's not what I mean! Our, uhm, bed activities are a separate matter. Actually, I think I'll be fine even if you go a little harder.” She flushed crimson at her own words. ”Uhm, what I mean is that I'll tell you to stop if you're hurting me in bed. B-but that's not what I'm talking about here!”

He caressed her cheek. ”Then tell me.”
