Chapter 6 I Slept With Me One Year

CHAPTER 6 I Slept With Me One Year.

“Th-three choices?” asked Camellia, stammering.

Her hazel-colored, clear-round eyes looked at Hagen, full of confusion.

“Yes, I give you three options that can pay off your entire family’s debt,” Hagen explained with his two thumbs, which he stroked on the soft surface of Camellia’s face.

“What... do you want?”

Hagen’s smile grew wider, but his gentle gaze that had just been replaced with a look of desire instantly knocked Camellia’s heart, making her forget how to breathe for a moment.

She also held Hagen’s wrist, intending to dismiss the man’s touch on her body, but Camellia could not dispel his hand, even if it was just a brief moment. The expression on Camellia’s face clearly indicated that she was frustrated.

It was easier for Hagen to read Camellia’s every change in emotions, like every page of the book he was reading.

Still, with his hands cupped on each side of the young girl’s cheek, he curved Camellia’s beautiful face inch by inch in his memory.

Hagen whispered, “The first choice,” as he ran his fingers over Camellia’s porcelain skin, which made the girl hold her breath. “You sold this house.”

Hearing his remarks, Camellia’s gaze turned into a flash of anger. Her hands on the sides of her body were also clenched into fists.

Obviously, it wasn’t something she would choose later, so Hagen smiled crookedly and continued their discussion.

“The Second One...” He put a pause in his words on purpose to get Camellia’s attention, and sure enough, the girl looked more angry and ready to react.

Knowing he could have gotten a slap in the face, Hagen took both of the girl’s hands into his grasp and locked them there. Meanwhile, his obsidian eyes did not shift their focus.

He did this to observe Camellia’s reaction.

“Second option: sell your body to a stranger who─”

Instantly, Hagen’s remarks were paused when Camellia rebelled and forced herself to break free. He quickly regained control of her back.

“Don’t try to spit on me if you don’t want to face the consequences,” Hagen said threateningly, his gaze showing how serious he was about the remarks, causing Camellia to stop. But her pretty face showed that she was nervous, even though Hagen tried to ignore it.

As soon as the girl calmed down again in his arms, Hagen continued.

Now, the gaze from his sharp obsidian eyes showed that he ordered Camellia to be quiet and listen.

The girl shut her mouth right away and bit her fluffy lips, cursing the man over and over in her head.

“Choice number two, sell yourself to a stranger who can pay off your family’s debts to me,” Hagen said. This time there was not the slightest smile painted on his masculine face.

In fact, he looks much colder than before.

Camellia bit her tongue hard even though she was hurting herself because her attention was on the jerk in front of her.

She tried to restrain herself from making a sound, even though Camellia was eager to explode inside.

How dare the man insult her! Did he judge her that low?

“What’s the third one?” asked Camellia in a tone of voice about to scream rejection.

Finding the girl’s hazel eyes flashing with a huff, Hagen thinned his lips and squinted. He was silent for a while before a smile beyond a smirk appeared on his beautiful masculine face.

The man’s hands suddenly took Camellia’s hand and slowly moved closer until there was no distance between them.

Hagen was seen openly smelling the girl’s hair with his eyes closed, as if he liked how scared Camellia was.

The girl’s instinct screamed the word ‘run’ many times because she was sure that the third choice was far more terrifying than the two choices at the beginning. Camellia knew Hagen had put his hands under her shirt when she felt his touch around the skin of her stomach.

The subtle touches of the man on her bare skin gave her a sense of tingle like thousands of butterflies flying, which instantly spread the heat all over her body to make her cheeks turn red.

“What are you doing?” Camellia hissed angrily, trying to pull his hand away. But again, she lost strength and could only beat the man’s arm for nothing.

Hagen bit Camellia’s earlobe, making her lashes flutter fast and stopping her breath instantly.

“The third choice...” Hagen whispered in a masculine voice that sounded so soft in Camellia’s ear, making the girl’s legs limp from unconsciously leaning on the man’s athletic body.

Hagen’s free hand pulled Camellia’s chin up full of caution until, in the end, their eyes met again, while the other hand was wrapped around the girl’s waist, deliberately supporting the weight of Camellia’s body.

His obsidian eyes, which were filled with so much feeling, got bigger when he looked at Camellia again, as if he wanted to eat her clear hazel eyes.

“Sleep with me for a year.”

Instantly, the atmosphere that enveloped the two turned heavy. The wall clock seemed to stop. The air that had rushed past Camellia’s cheeks had abruptly halted, as had the sounds around her, which had seemed to freeze for some time.

And all that could be heard were each other’s heartbeats, which were as sinister as a constant flurry and were followed by interlocking gazes as if measuring each other’s reactions.

All of that changed when Camellia got angry when she heard Hagen talk down to her.

“Get out!” Camellia hissed.

Her low but emotionally charged voice was enough to show how much she was holding back from slapping Blake Hagen in the face, which was right in front of her. In fact, she clenched her teeth and threw a deliberation that showed how angry she was at the moment.

Since there was no response, Camellia also screamed the same word three times, “Get out! Get out of here! Get out right now!”

Hagen, however, did not do what the girl asked. His gaze turned gentle for a moment, but quickly his expression became cold again.

When he was going to touch Camellia’s face again, she shook him so violently that Hagen’s handle came loose. Now, all he can touch is the air. His hands clench unconsciously.

Instantly Hagen lowered his arm, then put it on the side of his body, then he gave Camellia a look that was hard to read. But the girl was already unconcerned because she was overcome by anger that shut down all her logic.

Blake Hagen’s name has been on her enemy list.

The hatred for the man was bitter on the tongue, making her unable to stare at Hagen’s beautiful face.

It felt like the man didn’t deserve her attention.

Realizing what was in the girl’s mind, Hagen also chose to be silent. However, before he left the house, Hagen spoke firmly with a look that showed their discussion had not yet finished getting there.

“I’ll give you a month to think about it. So, take your time,” the man said in a monotonous tone with a straight face. “I’ll go back for your answers. I hope you really choose wisely, Princess.”

After saying that, he landed a peck on the top of Camellia’s head, which made the girl’s body stiffen instantly.

Without saying anything, Hagen also walked towards the door. Leaving Camellia with her shrunken thoughts

As soon as the door before her closed, Camellia’s body also fell to the floor instantly.

Camellia stared at the closed door with emotionless eyes and trembling lips. And then she realized that Blake Hagen could make her heart squeeze violently.

He’s the kind of dangerous guy for a girl as innocent as her, which can soil her mind and body.
