Chapter 366 - Will you go back to me?

Tito pounded his muscular c_h_e_s_t to help him gulped down the stuck food on his esophagus. Did he just said he wanted to eat her? No matter Tito looked at it, Dragon wasn't referring to the literal meaning.

"Damn, I must thank Doc for taking away my appetite," Jack uttered in relieve as they were attacked by another flirtatious stunt of suspicious Dragon. He could imagine himself hearing that remarks while eating, he might be suffering the same experience Tito was now.

"I-- I'm done. I'd better check my flowers." After successfully gulping down the food that nearly choked him, Tito drank a mouthful of water before excusing himself. He grabbed his plate to take it with him as he could no longer bear to hear another romantic attack from Dragon towards Seraphina.

After all, Seraphina would surely let him twist her words and she won't rebut and pretended it a dog barking -- but not him! He had been single for god knows how long and he never had the time to woo a woman to his liking. 

Surely, being in the underworld especially, having Seraphina as their boss, it was impossible for them to get laid. Not because Seraphina was restricting anyone to do so or it was against the rules but, their schedule was just too damn tight that they'd rather chill than go out and find someone just to exert more energy.

Granting that felons find more dauntless girls or p_r_o_s_t_i_t_u_t_es in the underground world, alas, being with Venus traumatized them to the core. Imagine meeting a woman like Venus in the underground, it would be troublesome. After all, Venus always puts on an act and even used her body depends on her mission just to get a man's trust and squeeze information. 

Alas, they are very well-versed that everyone that had touched Venus was ended up dead. Hence, what if there's another person like her? They'll be dead just before reaching the climax. Not to mention, with their high profiled reputation before, there would be a higher chance to use girls to seduce them and do whatever method Venus uses to her victims.

Moreover, knowing that their boss was a woman, Tito never knew when did it start but his standards with women drastically raised. It's not that he romantically liked Seraphina but if he would have the luck to meet the woman of his life, he wanted her to be as kind and dignified like his boss.

"And, that's our cue," Jack spoke as he stood then grabbed Mariel Min's back collar and drag him to leave. Part of him was relieved that Dragon did speak such words as he was dying for Seraphina to finish her meals so he could also leave.

When everyone left, Seraphina resumed eating the food that was on her plate while Dragon just watched her with great delight. 

"Is that what you want?" Arching her brows after she chewed down her food. This time, Seraphina turned her head on Dragon with an unreadable smirk. Since her attempt before to repel Dragon worked, Seraphina wouldn't mind doing it again.

"Oh? Baby, the same trick won't work with me." Dragon grinned into a sly one as he was confident that he won't fall for Seraphina's unusual response. The first time came as a shock hence, he won't let it happen again… or so he thought.

"What trick?" Seraphina slowly put down her utensils at hand then placed her arms on the edge of the table before her place. She turned her head back to Dragon with a confused expression plastered across her face. Fortunately, Seraphina had the face of an angel that seemed she couldn't even bear to break a plate. Thus, her display of ignorance this time came out naturally.

That very instant, Dragon's first defense wall was penetrated and brought down by his enemy. Gulping down, he kept his sly grinned intact since it was only his first defense wall that broke which means, his plan B of countering Seraphina also took a huge leap.

Reaching out on the mop of hair that dr_a_p_ed down on her shoulder, Dragon played the tip of her silky, wavy dyed lilac hair. Raising his gaze back on her magnetizing jet black ones, he smirked. "What you're doing right now."

Letting him play and twirl his finger on the end of her hair which slightly tickle her scalp and ears, Seraphina paid it no mind as she leaned a little closer to him. "What am I doing?"

"Haha, love don't test my self-control." Dragon chuckled in amus_e_m_e_nt as he could not believe Seraphina was really putting up her game. Even without trying, Seraphina could seduce him with just a flip of her hair. What's more, now that she was purposely doing it? He immediately wrecked the second defense wall that he built with hard work in a short course of days.

"Am I?" Not backing down, Seraphina leaned even closer, lessening the gap between them. She clearly saw the glint of d_e_s_i_r_e that flashed across his eyes and yet, for some reason, Seraphina didn't stop.

At some point, it reminded her of the occurrence two years ago when she surrendered her whole body to him. She had the same resolute back then which sent red alarms on her head yet, Seraphina knew that she stepped on the line but didn't cross it just yet.

Dragon raised his hand and traced her jaw and stopped on her chin. He didn't retracted his hand as he affectionately c_a_r_e_s_sed her chin. His gaze softened as he was also reminded of the Seraphina he knew two years back.

"I missed you… will you just go back to me?" Unlike the precedented plans on putting up a show with Seraphina, Dragon did otherwise. Instead, he uttered his longing to the woman who was trapped inside her by the dilemmas she was currently facing. He only needed a word, just one word from her and he'll step in. Alas, that would remain a dream as someone as feisty and stubborn as Seraphina, she would rather lead the war herself.
