Chapter 2 "The Rogue In The Bar" (2)

• Startled, I turned towards him and noticed that he had locked the door behind us.
• With a wicked grin, he whispered, "You're in this for the long haul now, Miss."
• Slowly, he began to remove his suit and shirt, revealing a perfectly tanned and toned body, complemented by his dark brown hair and intense, piercing eyes. However, it was his red eyes that captured my attention, shining brightly like those of a wild animal.
• My heart pounded in my chest as I gazed at him, completely taken aback. My throat felt parched.
• “Suddenly taking off your shirt is…” I was about to complain, but couldn’t continue because he effortlessly scooped me up, causing me to gasp, “Ahh!”
• The rogue cradled me in his arms, making me feel like a child carried by someone.
• “What are you doing!” I protested. “Let me… Ack!”
• He threw me on the bed, well, not roughly. But I was still bewildered. Catching my breath. I looked at him, who was grinning at me while looking at my still clothed body.
• “Why do you look scared now?” He asked, leaning closer. “It was you who seemed to be in a haste. Perhaps, are you regretting it now?”
• I gulped.
• I don’t want to lose my virginity with someone I don’t even know. But if this is the only way for me to take revenge to my family who sold me to Alpha Alex, then I won’t have any regrets.
• “I won’t back down. Let’s do it,” I said firmly.
• “Really? Absolutely certain?” he asked, positioning himself on the top of me.
• Getting annoyed, I said, "Would you kindly quit talking and get on with it? I swear I'll pay you."
• The guy's eyes sparkled mischievously. "Well, now that you've given the green light, I guess it's time to get serious." He firmly held onto her thighs and said, "Spread your legs for me, Master."
• Harriet’s POV
• I woke up, recalling the insane thing I did last night. I actually paid a rogue to take my virginity. And now, that man is lying next to me on the bed.
• My heart was racing as I shifted to my side. I held my breath when I realized his long arms were wrapped around my naked body. He was still fast asleep, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to make my escape.
• Just as I was about to slip away, his massive arms grabbed hold of my waist. "Ahh!" I gasped, quickly returning to my previous position.
• "Where do you think you're going, my dear master?" he whispered in my ear.
• My breathing became heavy as I turned to face him, getting lost in his mesmerizing gray eyes. Feeling the heat rise within me, I pushed him away. "Let me go. Our agreement is finished."
• "I'm not so sure about that. You said you would pay me, but I still haven't received my money. Don't you think it's necessary for you to stick around a little longer before we finalize our deal?" His grip tightened, trapping me in his embrace.
• I shot him a defiant look. "The money is in my bag. Just let me go and I'll give it to you right away."
• He chuckled and released his hold on me. I took the opportunity to distance myself and wrapped the blanket around my body.
• This guy shamelessly turned to the side, not caring that I could see his bare upper body. Well, I saw a lot last night, but it felt uncomfortable seeing it in the bright surroundings. Plus, he was undeniably good-looking.
• ‘Good-looking? Ugh. I need to snap out of it. He's just a one-night-stand rogue.’
• I shook my head and then gathered my clothes. After getting dressed, I tossed the envelope of money onto the bed before getting up.
• “Ouch,” I grimaced. My thighs and back were killing me. All because of that guy with the massive lower weapon.
• Ignoring the pain, I faced him.
• “There’s your payment. Count it, and if it’s not enough, let me know,” I stated.
• He took the envelope and peeked inside. “Wow,” he whistled. “You’re rich. This is a hefty sum.”
• “Now, we’re done. I’m leaving,” I declared, turning away.
• “Why did you choose to lose your virginity to a rogue like me?” he inquired, causing me to halt in my tracks.
• I stood there, unable to respond.
• “Are you running away from something? Or maybe, seeking for revenge?” he continued.
• Since this will be our last time seeing each other, I thought there’s nothing wrong with answering his question. Thus, I slowly turned around and answered him, “I wanted to die.”
• He looked at me intently, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly pursed.
• It seemed like he was analyzing me, trying to understand my motives. I half-expected him to give me a pep talk, telling me to find a reason to keep going.
• But instead, he surprised me with a question of his own. "Why do you want to die?"
• I shrugged my shoulders. "I just don't see the point of living anymore. It feels like my life is nothing but misery, and I'd rather escape it all."
• Suddenly, the room fell silent.
• The weight of my words hung in the air, and I couldn't help but feel like I had revealed too much to a lone wolf.
• The tension became unbearable, and I decided it was time to leave. "If you're done interrogating me, I'll be on my way," I said, preparing to make my exit.
