Chapter 175 - Just the Beginning

Kyaaah!

Oh my God!

Zoe and I stopped building our 'beautiful' tra––sandcastle when we heard shrieking and lots of giggling noises. We stood and saw that most of the people have an excited and obsessed look on their faces. Their eyes locked in the same place.

I gasped when I traced the direction of their line of sight.

About forty meters away from me, there he was . . . In his handsome casual V-neck ¾ sleeve shirt and . . .

Shorts!

Yes. Shorts.

This was the first time I saw him in shorts.

I swallowed the mouthful of saliva, threatening to drip from my mouth when my brain imagined myself doing different naughty things to his long slender legs.

He was just standing there amidst the sea of crowds, devoid of any emotion. But his whole person radiated power, making everyone wanted to submit to his every whim (including me, of course).

This man was so powerful, and he knew how to use it. His confidence alone was enough; the rest of the package was overkill!

His cold frosty eyes were roaming around as if he was searching for someone.

Arf! Arf!

I jolted awake when that familiar cute, lovable sound made its way towards me. I then noticed that Cain was not alone, beside him was Estela and . . .

Zhander?

Arf! Arf!

I looked at the furball who was now at my feet, jumping, licking, and circling me. He was so happy and excited that I was afraid his tail would come off from all its wagging.

Then absolute silence descended.

The crowds were stunned when the cute puppy who followed Cain just a moment ago –– sprinted in my direction like I was his long lost owner.

I gulped hard when Cain's eyes fixated on me.

Run!

My brain panicked and screamed, but my feet were paralyzed on the spot. Cain's lips twitched upward into a smirk as he took his sweet, torturous time approaching me.

Oh my God! What is he doing?! Our relationship is supposed to be a secret!

A series of whispers resounded, and I unconsciously took a step back. I sensed all the antagonistic look thrown at me. Still, they didn't dare block Cain's approach.

Zoe shot me a teasing grin as the ungrateful girl escaped to where Estela was –– abandoning me to defend myself.

Honestly, I didn't care about what people think. But right now, I wish the waves would rise twenty meters tall and swallow me whole.

I signaled the approaching man with my eyes to no avail as I took a step back to put distance between us while little Pluffy never left my side.

The whole scene turned comical. I would probably laugh if this were not currently happening to me!

Cain took a step to bridge the distance between us while I took a step back, widening the gap as a ball of fur was wiggling beside me.

To my relief, Cain paused, and I halted as well. Our eyes remained lock. Mine with pleading and panic while his, cold and merciless. But I knew he was just teasing me.

I was lost in his clear frosty mesmerizing eyes when all of a sudden, he took long strides. And before I could blink, he was right in front of me. Just literally inches from me that my upper body unconsciously leaned back in response.

His refreshing scent shook my whole system awake, making me realized that the horror was real, and my body froze when my brain malfunctioned at the sudden closeness.

It's over. Ahh . . . It's all over . . . Goodbye, my peaceful days . . .

I was so sure that Cain would hug me, or worse –– kiss me in front of everybody. So I was shocked when he bent down and grabbed little Pluffy in his arms and slowly . . .

So slowly.

Ever so slowly straightened his back.

He paused when his face leveled with my breasts. His breath hot on my skin. I gasped when his lips grazed my nipples beneath the bathing suit. His aim was so precise it was hard to believe it was an accident.

He then leaned closer.

"This is not over," he whispered. His breath tickling my ear.

He shot me a teasing grin before he walked back to where Estela and the others were while little Pluffy tried to wiggle out of his embrace. His big puppy eyes locked on mine as he whimpered nonstop in Cain's hold.

My legs gave way, and I slumped on the sand. I should have known this would happen!
