Chapter 6 Roleplaying

Luna felt the man's stiffness. She smiled reassuringly and murmured, "Don't worry. I won't force you to do anything. Just give me a hug."

She regretted her words the moment they left her mouth.

She wanted to pull her hands back, but as she touched the man's body, an inexplicable desire rose within her. Before she knew it, she had drawn closer to his chest.

Silas paled under the mask, his body trembling at Luna's sudden nearness.

Hadn't she promised that she wouldn't force him to do anything?

Luna held on tightly to the man's neck, like a drowning woman holding onto a piece of floating wood, unwilling to let go.

She even rubbed her face against his neck affectionately.

Silas' body trembled more obviously at Luna's touch.

He was about to step back when the warmth on his neck stopped him. He looked down at her, confused.

"Please... Please... Don't leave me..." Luna's voice was pleading, but she raised her voice a notch towards the end, causing it to become seductive.

Silas' face turned cold with disgust. He grabbed Luna by her shoulders and

and pushed her hard, as if afraid that she would hold him again. He stood up quickly.

His discomfort was visible as he staggered away from her, holding onto the edge of the bed.

He turned around to leave, but his leg was held by her.

He looked down to find Luna's hands gripping his leg. His eyes glinted coldly with anger.

Luna, on the other hand, looked like a docile cat eager for affection.

Her face was flushed, the corners of her eyes slightly red. The mole at the corner of her eye made her look pitiful and desirable at the same time.

She didn't know how flirtatious she was at this moment.

Any other man wouldn't have been able to hold back their desire in the face of Luna's amorous advances.

But this was Silas.

He tried to shake her off; but when Luna didn't let go of him, he frowned at the goose bumps crawling up his legs.

He reached out and tried to push her away. But as his eyes found his trembling fingers, he sighed and drew his hand back.

'Why hasn't Malcolm come yet?'

He frowned irritably, pursing his lips as he glanced at her bleeding legs.

His stomach began to churn. He covered his mouth, unable to bear it anymore.

He took a step forward, but he felt Luna's weight on his leg. She was lighter than he had expected her to be. He looked at her and shook his head, helpless.

"When you wake up, I'll get even with you for this!"

Silas went to the bathroom, looking back from time to time to see if he had bumped Luna on the head.

It usually took him only half a minute to get there, but today, it took him three full minutes.

Uncomfortable at being dragged, Luna's hand accidentally smoothed down Silas's leg, trying to get a purchase.

Silas stiffened, his back sweaty with discomfort.

The moment he entered the bathroom, he leapt towards the toilet and emptied the contents of his stomach into it.

At the faint sound of Silas vomiting, Luna raised her head and saw him bent over the bowl.

The cold floor of the bathroom was comfortable for her, but she staggered upwards and stood against the wall, hurt etched across her face. "Do I disgust you that much? You are vomiting!"

Luna sobbed, tears running down her cheeks.

Silas had paled due to the effort. He had just finished washing out his mouth when he heard Luna's words.

He turned around and strode impatiently towards her.

Luna wiped her tears. She put her arms around his neck, saddened but longing for the mysterious man before her.

But she didn't expect Silas to collapse feebly against her.

Luna's back hit the wall, and she grimaced in pain.

She narrowed her eyes, trying to refocus her sight.

'Jelly? This is so soft. What is this?' she thought to herself.

Luna couldn't help but stick out her pink tongue and lick it.

Silas felt the touch on his lips, his dark brown eyes narrowing.

He stepped back and grabbed Luna's neck. He raised his other hand and knocked her out.

Silas held her by the waist, preventing her fall, and dragged her into the bathtub.

He then turned on the tap, letting the cold water fill the tub.

Now that Luna finally stopped making trouble, Silas relaxed and sat down on the floor, leaning against the bathtub.

He pulled up his right leg and rested his hand on his knee, looking exhausted.

A knock sounded at the door.

Silas was so relieved at the sound, he lost consciousness.

Malcolm Lu knocked at the door for a full minute, but didn't hear Silas' voice.

He looked anxious as he pushed the door open.

When he didn't find Silas in the living room, he became even more confused.

He turned around, locked the door, and walked quickly into the bedroom. The sight chilled him. A bloodstained knife and a lady's purse lay on the floor. But what filled him with dread was the pool of blood that trailed away. He grabbed the medicine box and followed the trail, rushing into the bathroom.

He spotted a masked Silas on the floor in a dead faint. Two bleeding legs were stuck up in the air beside him. 'Huh?

What did they do? Roleplaying?

That was exciting!'

He walked quickly to Silas and realized that he had just lost consciousness. Malcolm breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the lipstick mark on Silas' collarbone. He was stunned.

His eyes widened.

He couldn't help but crane his neck to see who the bold woman was. But before he could, Silas stirred.

"Hmm..."

Silas opened his eyes and looked around, disoriented. When he realized that Malcolm was here, he snorted.

"You are finally here!"

Silas leaned against the bathtub and pulled himself upright. His jerked at his shirt, sending the buttons flying and pinging off the tiles.

"I started the moment I received your call."

Malcolm blinked innocently, knowing that Silas was angry.

"Help her get rid of the aphrodisiac,"

Silas said, not bothering to look at Malcolm as he pointed at Luna.

Malcolm walked up to the bathtub and was shocked to see the woman lying there, her long hair covering her face.

Silas simmered with anger as Malcolm froze.

"Close your eyes and get her out of the bathtub."

That shook Malcolm back into his senses.

"Hmm..."

Before Malcolm could do anything, the woman's soft voice sounded and he flushed red.
