Chapter 0117

“I don’t suffer fools lightly,” he continued, his bright, serious gaze locked on mine. I felt strangely small under his stare, but I couldn’t look away. “And I don’t spend time with people I don’t want to spend time with. This arrangement we have-“he paused, as if searching for the right words, “-would not be enough to make me go out of my way for you.”

My breath hitched. His words, so matter–of–fact, caught me off guard. The truth was, I hadn’t been entirely sure why Alexander had continued to involve himself in my increasingly chaotic life. But as he spoke, the certainty in his voice made me question everything I had assumed.

“Don’t ever make the mistake of thinking you’re manipulating me,” he said firmly, and for a moment, I almost flinched. “I don’t act out of pity or concern. I do what I want to do. And right now, what I want is to make sure you’re all right. Do you understand?”

I nodded slowly, though I wasn’t sure I truly did understand. His actions and words seemed contradictory to me. Why would he care so much? What was driving him to stay by my side, to protect me?

I knew there was more to Alexander than I had seen so far, but despite all the time we had spent together, I realized how little I actually knew about him.

I had no real ground to stand on if I wanted to challenge what he was saying. So instead, I accepted his words for nów, even if they left me feeling more confused than before 1

“So you’ll be staying the night, then?” Alexander raised an eyebrow, his question hanging in the air.

“If you insist,” I replied, feeling uncertain but resigned.

Alexander smiled, a look of satisfaction crossing his face. “I do. Don’t worry, the doctor tells me that you’re going to be just fine. You simply need to reach climax in order to dissipate the fever. You’ll recover after that.”

“That can’t be right,” I said softly, my voice betraying how embarrassed I was by his words.

He smiled again, but this time, there was an amused glint in his eyes.

“What’s so funny?” I asked, confused by the look on his face.

“You,” he replied, leaning in a little closer. “My pretty puzzle. You’re so strong and confident most of the time, but when the topic turns to sex, you become shy. Why is that?”

I shrugged, feeling self–conscious. “I’m not shy,” I protested half–heartedly. “I just don’t think it’s a topic we should engage in… there must be something else I can do.”

“I’m afraid that’s the only option. You’ll only feel more sick until you take care of your desires. Besides, you don’t need to worry about embarrassing yourself in front of me, so there’s no reason to avoid the topic.”

Heat crept up my neck and into my cheeks, and I couldn’t tell if he was being sincere or teasing me. His eyes were too intense, too focused.

“Well, that’s good,” I muttered, looking away, “I’d hate to be a nuisance.”

“If you ever become a nuisance, I’ll be sure to tell you,” he teased, his voice playful but his eyes locked on mine with a seriousness that made my heart race.

There was something in the way he was looking at me that made my blush deepen. His gaze held an intensity that left me feeling exposed and vulnerable.

Then, in a swift movement, Alexander leaned forward. This time, I recognized what was happening–it wasn’t the first time. And instead of waiting hesitantly to see if he’d change his mind, I moved to meet him halfway.
