He dragged her into the brightest spot of the room, scrutinizing the mark on her neck that looked like a hickey but also seemed like a bite mark. "Did Marc do this?" he asked.
Seeing her plot working, Natalia breathed a sigh of relief. Pretending to be shy, she quickly pulled up her collar to hide the mark, "This mark..."
Cameron interrupted impatiently, "Are you pretending to be innocent? I'm asking if this mark was made by him?"
Natalia nodded, "You once told me that no one else but him can touch me. I haven’t forgotten."
Her obedience pleased Cameron, "How far have you guys gone? Did he sleep with you?"
"No." Natalia blushed, biting her lip shyly, "He almost did. I was really scared and struggled fiercely, so he stopped."
Cameron’s face suddenly changed, grabbing Natalia's hair in anger, "Are you a moron? You were scared of that? Look at yourself! He wants you, and you dare to reject him?"
With her hair being pulled to the point it felt like her scalp was being torn off, Natalia didn’t dare to move, "Marc said he wouldn’t force me to do anything I don’t want to. He’ll wait until I'm ready to accept him."
"He said that?" Cameron was skeptical of her, but eventually let go.
Natalia continued, "Otherwise, why would he have driven me home?"
This time, Cameron truly believed her, "Sometimes, men who have been met with too many easy women become more interested in a woman who rejects them. You did right. Reject him for a while, and don’t let him have you too soon. But don't hold him off for too long either. If he loses interest in you, you'll have no chance."
Natalia nodded, "I'll listen to you. However long you tell me to reject him, I will. Whenever you tell me to accept him, I will.”
Cameron was very satisfied with Natalia's attitude. He confidently believed that he had successfully moulded Natalia into a tool without any personal thoughts, one that he could use freely.
