Hesitating, Elaine stayed put.
Lowering his voice and holding in his temper, Vincent demanded, "Don't make me say it again!"
There were signs of displeasure written all over his face. Even if she was unwilling, she did not dare to go against him.
Without hesitating any longer, she threw herself on the bed almost immediately.
After standing at the end of the bed for a while, Vincent walked towards Elaine.
Wrapping herself tightly with the blanket, she stared at the condescending man and scowled, "Why did you force me to sleep on the bed with you?! I want to sleep on the couch!"
"The couch isn't comfortable to sleep in."
Hearing his response, Elaine was dumbstruck.
"Then add an extra bed!"
"Go ask for it if you have enough money to pay."
"How could you..." Elaine was so mad!
Somehow, he must have figured out that she didn't bring her purse, so he tried to make things difficult for her on purpose!
Curling up in the corner of the bed, she gritted her teeth, and her face flushed red. "How about you get another blanket? We're not even in a relationship! How can you expect me to sleep in the same bed as you? What would that make me?!"
When she finished ranting, she sounded as if on the verge of crying.
Knitting his brows while looking at her, he felt his heart soften. However, he warned, "If you dare to shed a tear, forget about the blanket!"
What a lunatic!
As Elaine was about to shout at him for being unreasonable, he went straight to the cupboard and retrieved an extra blanket.
Seeing that, Elaine was speechless.
Since there was already an extra blanket in the room, why did they share one last night?
After taking the blanket out, Vincent glanced at her instead. "What is it? Do you want to share one blanket?"
Regaining her senses, she quickly shook her head.
After putting down the blanket on the bed, Vincent leaned towards her. His manly scent spread across the bed as he stared into her eyes, "You'll be mine sooner or later. Why bother doing all these meaningless things, huh?"
Backing away from him, she kept quiet.
Afraid, she told herself that she would escape from him one day, and she would make sure he never found her...
The other side of the bed sank as Vincent lay down. His warm body then snuggled closer to Elaine, but she quickly pulled her blanket over and cowered in the corner of the bed.
Leaning against the head of the bed, he sneered without looking at her. "You're gonna shrink into a ball at this rate."
On the other hand, Elaine was still ignoring him. She was secretly complaining.
"Lie down!" He suddenly turned his head and stared at her.
Shocked by his sudden shout, Elaine muttered, "I-I'm not sleepy yet. You can go to sleep first..."
"Don't make me say it again. I don't have the patience."
Scared, she dared not say a word.
She figured that it would be better to obey him, so she lay down immediately.
Though she did try to sleep, she was lying down on the edge of the bed, and would fall to the ground if she just moved a little more.
The corners of Vincent's mouth curled into a smirk. "Are you that afraid that I'll touch you?" For a moment, Elaine didn't respond.
"If I wanted to make love with you, I would have already done it last night." Under the light, his eyes looked like a crouching beast in the dark. "Can you really protect yourself against me?"
Feeling anger gushing through her body, she felt awkward yet furious, so she blurted out, "Then why didn't you do it last night?"
After she finished speaking, she was not the only one who was stunned. Even Vincent was taken aback by her words.
Slowly sitting up, he stared at her with a pair of dark eyes.
Anxious because of her stupidity, she bit her lip and dared not look at him in the eyes. "I... I'm talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously!"
Hearing that, Vincent didn't utter a reply. Raising his arms, he loosened the top two buttons of his pajamas.
When he unbuttoned his shirt, his Adam's apple stood out as it sexily moved up and down.
Instinctively, Elaine wanted to run away. However, Vincent was one step ahead of her. Before she knew it, she was already pressed on the bed, with Vincent's body coming into contact with hers.
His body was warm, eyes red, and his expression was something she had never seen before.
