I’ll Become the Female Lead in this Trashy Webnovel

21. Something I want to have even if I have to break it (2)

As the heat began to spread in his bedroom, a scorching, handsome man hugged So-hee as well.

“Go ahead and tell me, then. What’s the big deal?”

He stared at her while unbuttoning his shirt with one hand.

“It’s…”

What should she tell him first?

“First off, don’t just leave alone like what happened today. Stay with me, Joshua.”

A smile came to his indifferent countenance.

No.

It was a sneer.

“Why? Because you have to keep an eye on me to know when I’ll kill Deon?”

She had never been this scared of Joshua.

“No, it’s not that. It’s just that… I’m lonely without you. I was with you all day yesterday but today you left me alone.”

His big hand caressed Sohee’s earlobes.

Was this a positive or negative sign?

‘Why aren’t you responding to me, Joshua?’ She thought.

She didn’t dare cause an argument because she was at fault.

Sohee blinked a couple of times before she spoke again. “I apologize about going to the office without your permission.”

He watched her coldly.

“Your apology is incorrect.”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s not really what you should apologize for.”

His tone brought chills down her spine.

So-hee had stopped him from killing other people.

Did she have to apologize for that, too?

She wanted to refute Joshua’s statement so badly.

Since he had the upper hand, she had to put up with it for now.

So-hee bit her lip before replying, “I can see why you’re upset, Joshua. But I don’t like Deon. I’ll be by your side the whole time until Ariad dies.”

She realized her mistake in an instant.

She had referred to herself as a third person as if she wasn’t Ariad in the first place.

Relieved that Joshua didn’t notice her error, she started talking nonsense again.

“You don’t have to kill Deon, Joshua. I don’t want blood on your hands.”

Joshua laughed at her last statement.

What was funny to him?

Was So-hee such a bad liar that he couldn’t even believe that?

“And—-” She trailed off.

He examined her for a moment before his large pupils narrowed into dangerous slits.

As expected, he didn’t believe her lie.

Nevertheless, she kept convincing him, “I love you like how you love me, Joshua. So, don’t be too anxious about Deon.”

As she spoke, she avoided his gaze for a second before facing him again.

Now, his smirk was pressed into a straight line while his pale face was devoid of emotion.

So-hee realized another mistake of hers when Joshua’s blood-red eyes turned into a daze.

“Love?”

The thumb and forefinger pressed on her earlobe fell off before he seized hold of Sohee’s hair.

“Ah!”

Her head tilted back from the force of his grasp.

Then, he pushed his tongue between her parted lips so hard that her teeth clashed against his mouth and she tasted blood.

It was the first time he handled her so roughly that it hurt.

His biting clasps and the fierce stirring in her heart made So-hee’s eyes tremble.

So far, all her physical contact with him had been kind and considerate but now he was acting like a ravenous beast.

Before she knew it, Joshua’s body had weighed heavily on top of her.

When she squirmed underneath him to escape his cage-like arms, Joshua withdrew his lips to see Ariad’s face contort from  the pain.

His lips—-shiny with saliva—-curled up as she inhaled and exhaled.

Joshua’s blood-red eyes were as cloudy as a water fog as he watched her. “Great love, you say?”

“….”

“If love means seeing your face crumple then yes. I love you, Ariad.”

So-hee stared back at him in a daze.

She made a very big mistake.

The hand clutching her purple hair dropped and ripped her thin dress into shreds.

When all of her pale skin was revealed, her eyes went round from chagrin.

Joshua’s fierce gaze was those of a predator who finally found his prey after hunting all day long.

An emergency bell rang in So-hee’s head and she tried to shove Joshua off her.

“Joshua. Wake up.”

Joshua easily caught her right arm and brought his angelic face close to her chest.

His mouth landed on the love bite where Deon’s lips had turned into a blue bruise.

He licked the sore flesh before sucking on it hard.

Trapped between them was So-hee’s right hand and she pinched and twisted the skin of his upper body as a silent plea to let her go.

“Oh, my God.”

Tears welled up from the pain she had suffered.

It wasn’t until blood had formed around the bruise on her neck did he finally withdrew his mouth on her skin.

Then, she heard a low murmur in her ear. “If love means seeing you cry because of me. Then, I love you, Ariad.”

His love confession brought goosebumps on her skin.

His hand wandered below her chest to grab one of her thigh.

“Wait!”

Joshua still spread her legs despite her urgent warning.

Her injuries caused painful electric shocks to register on her brain.

In an instant, Joshua positioned himself and buried his head between her legs to start eating her.

Sohee groaned as her broken limbs twisted and squirmed from the motion of his tongue.

Despite the constant rattling, he couldn’t escape from the crown prince who had pinned her like a butterfly underneath him.

Her forehead had crumpled and her eyelids had fluttered from the pain of being devoured.

Teardrops trickle from the corner of her eyes every time she blinked.

Satisfied at the love bites he left on her thighs, Joshua raised his head to glance at her as his finger curled over her underwear.

Also, he must have thought she wouldn’t care if he was considerate with her or not.

His back was curved like an arrow as if to express his bitterness.

So-hee lifted a weak arm to stop the man from pulling her underwear down to her toes.

Joshua’s eyes turned to look at her crying face.

“That’s enough, Joshua. It hurts so much.”

Her words made him slowly raise his upper body between her legs.

Then, Joshua brought his face closer to lick the tears off her cheeks.

“If love means having you even if I have to ruin you, then yes. I love you, Ariad.”

His seductive whisper, his lustful gaze, and the tiny crack in his hoarse voice were filled with heat.

She regretted getting on the man’s last nerves and ended up waking the hidden devil inside him.

She chewed on her lower lip and Joshua’s thumb swept her blood-stained lips.

After glancing down at her for a long time, his face got closer again.
