Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: So you came crawling then (2)
Ariana stiffened upon hearing his question, she opened her mouth but then closed it right back. She seemed tired as if whatever she was fighting, rejecting or suppressing was about to make an appearance.

She often did this whenever she was trying her best to reign in whatever lived inside that prude head of hers. Nicolai had tried understanding her, he swore that he did, but it was not working.

The only thing that he had figured out by now was that there was no point in giving Ariana the space that she wanted and asked for. It would only make her slip back into whatever zone she typically hides.

Nope, he needed to make those emotions sweep the rug out of her feet just like how he did tonight.

Not to mention, he was the kind of man who would act first and think of consequences later. There was no point in changing his modus operandi now.

Besides Ariana totally desired her, he could see that —after all, in her eyes, there were some rather strong and surging emotions.

And even though she was trying her best to hide and conceal the emotions surging in her heart, Nicolai could read them better than before for he had been doing this for ages now.

Nicolai caught his reflection in Ariana’s eyes and, believe him, he noticed himself covered in a halo.

The halo of lust was as bright as the neon sign of a bar.

Of course, there were more emotions added to the mix, but Nicolai did not care about them. They were irrelevant to him at the moment.

Because Ariana as much as she tried to pretend that she did not care for him that she just turned up here without knowing what she was doing—the truth remained all the same,

She came for him.

Nicolai inched close to Ari such that his hardened member was pressed against her core and lower abdomen firmly.

There was no need for him to admit that the second he saw her dragging Penelope by her hair, all because that woman dared to breathe the same as him.

Of course, Nicolai being Nicolai, he wanted to believe that the reason Ariana came rushing was because she did not want Penelope to touch him and was worried that she would be too late if she was a second too late.

Ariana sucked in a breath, she squirmed against him and this could be for any reason but at that very moment, Nicolai groaned in pleasure.

You – have – to be fucking — him.

She did not even do anything, so what was making his damn body react like such? Earlier Penelope had stripped off most of her clothes, and he found the sight boring as hell, not to mention he didn’t even look at her.

Just caught a few glimpses and damn near gagged.

And here he was reacting like a teenage boy in his puberty just because Ariana ground against him, that too while being covered in clothes.

The beast he had been suppressing for a while now was roaring in his head, repeatedly asking him to stake his claim on Ariana. Every other thought had long become a lingering wisp of smoke in his head without any presence.

Like he even had any other thoughts when Ariana was near him.

But still—

Ariana tried to sidestep him as if she thought that she could escape him. Like there was a choice like that, he gave her a chance and she blew it up. There was no other possibility like that in this lifetime of hers now, or any other lifetime she might have in the future, alright?

He was so going to haunt her even after death.

“Let go of me,” she commanded imperiously. But there was no such thing as haughtiness in her tone, instead, there was a hint of begging and pleading which made him tease her even more.

“Like I said, I did let you go, and you came bouncing back, princess,” Nicolai smirked at her. He watched as the surging flames became even more intense and a second later he watched his precious princess lose her temper for the second time.

She raised her hand and then went to punch him. That’s right, not a slap but a punch.

“I don’t give a flying fuck about what you did, and I am not your fucking princess,” she swung her fist at him and Nicolai caught her but the impact of her body lunging forward still made him take a few steps back.

Her eyes were now blazing with fire so wild that it reminded him of the forest fires, seeing her lose control like that Nicolai wanted nothing more than to make those flames turn into a roaring inferno.

She tried to punch him again when she failed the first time. Nicolai caught her other hand as well before using his other hand that was already holding her left hand to catch her right as well.

Once he was done, he brought her hands over her head, slamming them against the wall. Nicolai could smell alcohol on her breath, but it was not as strong as it had been on the day of the Nelson family’s party.

The flames in her eyes were still burning as she tried to kick him.

Nicolai’s lips curled up in a smirk as he remarked, “Looks like someone is really mad, are you upset because I saw her naked? Don’t worry, didn’t even take a good peek at her.”

Fan those flames fuck—fucking —more.

“Fuck you, Nicolai. Seriously fuck you.”

“Princess, I love it when you talk dirty to me. It does things to me.”

She glared at him with so much intensity, that it was a surprise that a spontaneous combustion did not happen then and there.

“I hate you so much — why don’t you stay away from me?”

“Not happening,” Nicolai stated as he tightened his hold on her wrists. “I asked you to stay away, and you came running back to me, princess.”

“I didn’t come running.”

“Then crawling?”

“What the hell is wrong with you?”
