Shirley, who was struggling a moment ago, froze after hearing Skyler's words. As he stared at her intensely, he mumbled, "Do you know why I brought you here to the hidden clan?"
"W-Why?"
"I-I have feelings for you. I'm afraid that the old fox, Garrick, will plot against you, and I'm even more afraid that the lover boy, Wade, will win your heart. You're all that I've ever wanted. Y-You came into my life and stole my heart, so you need to take responsibility." Without stopping his actions, he confessed to her affectionately since he was drunk.
Of course, he might just be telling her the truth under the influence of alcohol.
At that moment, Shirley had forgotten to struggle and was immersed in his words. All she could feel was her heart pounding quickly. "B-But things are impossible between… us. You already have Sofia, your fiancée."
"It's impossible between Sofia and me. We will never get married. The person that I have feelings for is you…" After saying that, he leaned forward once again and kissed her on the lips while interlocking her fingers with both his hands.
"Y-You're drunk, Skyler." Shirley had to remind him.
"I don't care. I just want you." As he said that, his actions became more brazen. Instantly, her mind went blank, and she wanted to resist, but the comfort she felt made her weak. Despite telling herself to get her head straight, her feelings for him dominated her rationality.
Just this once… Right. How many times can I let myself go in my life? It's just this once, Shirley! You can only let yourself go this one time!
After convincing herself internally, she lifted her hands to wrap them around his neck and transformed passivity into an initiative. Following that, with their great chemistry in the dark, they satisfied all their desires before falling asleep in each other's embrace.
Throughout the night, Shirley's heart was racing so fast that she stayed wide awake. She told herself that Skyler was drunk and that he would surely forget everything the next day he woke up.
So, she quietly waited for the man beside her to breathe smoothly before she moved his hands away stealthily and stood up slowly to escape from the 'crime scene'.
