He already knew!
Of course, when Lucian suddenly rushed to me today, begging to get back together, Kael must have figured out the relationship between Lucian and me.
If he knew Lucian was my ex-boyfriend, would he soon realize that I had been with him from the start out of revenge?
The thought made me feel a strange, subtle tension.
Would he be angry?
But why should he?
Our relationship was nothing more than a fling.
No one would ever know about Kael and me.
“We dated for six months,” I admitted, my voice steady.
For some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to look at Kael as I spoke. I felt guilty, though I wasn’t sure why.
My heart raced as if I’d done something wrong.
“When did you break up?”
“A while ago.”
“Was it around the time we met at the bar?” Kael’s arm tightened around my waist, his grip firm.
The pressure made me uncomfortable.
“Yes.”
“So, you broke up with your ex and came straight to me?” Kael’s hands roamed my body, his voice low.
He knew exactly how to touch me, and my body responded instinctively, squirming under his touch.
The desire within me grew stronger.
Damn it, I was always at his mercy in moments like this.
But today, Kael seemed rougher than usual.
His hands were harsher, his grip tighter, and it hurt.
Yet, the pain only heightened the sensation, sending shivers through my nerves.
“Answer me, Seraphina,” Kael’s voice turned colder, demanding.
“Yes, he cheated on me, so I went to the bar, drank, and noticed you,” I replied.
There was no harm in telling the truth.
But I didn’t mention my desire for revenge against Vivienne.
When I finished speaking, I saw anger flash in Kael’s eyes.
He looked as if he wanted to destroy everything.
My heart tightened, and panic set in.
Was he angry because he felt deceived?
But why should he care?
He treated women as disposable. To him, I was just a new toy. What did he have to be upset about?
Before I could do anything, Kael pulled down his pants and thrust himself into me with a force that left me breathless.
Though he had prepared me somewhat, my body wasn’t ready for his size.
The lack of lubrication made the pain unbearable, as if he were splitting me apart.
I winced, my back pressed against the wall, my nails digging into his shoulders, leaving marks on his skin.
But Kael showed no mercy as if he had felt nothing at all. He gave me no time to adjust, moving relentlessly.
I closed my eyes, my mouth opening in a moan as I tried to match his rhythm.
This time, he was more aggressive than ever, as if he wanted to devour me.
Soon, my body melted against his, my mind blank, all my senses focused on where we connected.
When I finally reached my peak, my body trembled, and my vision blurred as if fireworks were exploding before my eyes.
But Kael didn’t stop. He carried me to the bed, changing positions and entering me again.
God, tonight he seemed determined to wear me out completely.
I was too exhausted to speak, my body limp as he bit my neck and breasts, his expression fierce, his eyes glowing with a golden light.
It was strange.
I tried to focus, to see his eyes clearly, but Kael lifted my legs onto his shoulders and thrust into me again, cutting off my thoughts.
He snapped all the thoughts out of my head, and I could only follow his rhythm, letting him take control.
My body grew more exhausted with each climax, until I felt as if I were floating among the stars.
Kael was like a madman tonight, and I had to admit, his intensity was overwhelming.
As for me, I was utterly spent, yet I had no choice but to endure his relentless passion.
When I finally drifted toward sleep, Kael held me tightly, as if trying to press me into his chest.
“Seraphina, do you only see me as your sex toy?”
He bit my ear, his voice tinged with a bit of resentment.
For the first time, I saw a hint of vulnerability in him, and it stirred something in me-pity, guilt.
But I was too tired to keep my eyes open.
After all, while I wasn’t exactly a saint in this whole thing, Kael was no better.
He went through women faster than he changed clothes.
It had been said that most girls in the university had slept with him.
So why should I feel guilty?
With that thought, I fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, Kael was gone.
He had appeared out of nowhere last night and vanished just as mysteriously.
Only the lingering soreness in my body reminded me that it had all been real.
I rubbed my face, unable to shake the image of Kael’s sorrowful expression from my mind.
I shook my head, forcing the thought away.
I wouldn’t feel sorry for any man!
Lucian had betrayed me, and Kael was just a playboy.
When I stepped out of my room, Evelyn was already eating breakfast.
She always woke up early and prepared our meals.
Thanks to her, I could enjoy a perfect breakfast every day.
Today, it was fried eggs and cinnamon rolls.
“Seraph, did you go to bed early last night? I didn’t see you when I got back,” Evelyn said as I joined her.
“Yeah…” I sipped my coffee, feeling uneasy.
The memory of last night’s intensity still lingered, and my body ached.
As Kael had said, my stamina couldn’t keep up with his.
“But…” Evelyn suddenly stared at me, as if sensing something.
“Wait, I feel like there’s an animal-like aura around you.”
“What kind of aura?” My heart tightened.
I thought of the golden glow in Kael’s eyes and how he had climbed to my floor without any equipment.
How could an ordinary person do that?
I suddenly remembered his ability to teleport in the locker room…
I felt like I was onto something.
During class, the professor announced an upcoming field trip to an animal farm to study behavioral patterns.
“Isn’t that exciting?” Evelyn smiled, clearly thrilled.
“Yeah,” I replied, though I wasn’t as enthusiastic.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that danger lay ahead.
