Noisy music, drunk crowd, passionate dancing, and dim light. Kevin glanced around the bar, bought another shot, and downed the liquor in one swallow. However much alcohol he had, he was unable to dull the pain in his heart.
He shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the pain inside him. Proud as he was, he never thought he would be drowning his sorrows. Perhaps he was the dumbest man in the world. And his love affair had ended before it could start...
Kevin looked more attractive when he was sad. His woeful smile lent a certain charm to him, and his handsome face and slim build had gotten him attention. The coldness in his gaze kept women away, however.
His eyes were like icy lake water. In a vodka induced haze, pain and hatred surged under the rippling surface. No one in their right mind would actually try and talk to him. However, the drunk were more courageous than the sane.
"Hey! Handsome, buy me a drink?" Suddenly, a pretty woman was there, talking to him. The drunken girl sat in his lap, giggling, and nuzzled his neck.
"Go find someone else. I'm not in the mood." Kevin shot her a cold stare, and answered with indifference. He pulled her hands off him, and pushed her away.
"What? Are you scared? I need a man, and what a man you are! Come on, I thought men were supposed to take advantage of a pretty girl." Leena Leng giggled, and teased in a sweet and girlish tone. Her lips almost touched his earlobe when she whispered.
"Do you always ask other men to take advantage of you? Sorry, Miss, not in the mood. And you aren't exactly my type." Kevin sneered. His eyes turned colder as he spoke.
"Haha... What? Are you frightened? Are you still a virgin?" Leena laughed. The wine made her even sexier and more charming. She giggled as she spoke, despite the cold expression on Kevin's face.
"That's not your concern. And you could try it yourself." Kevin was outraged. Why did everyone take his restraint for a sign of weakness? It was okay that Daisy had refused him, but he didn't think he could tolerate a random woman babbling at him.
"Of course I will. I, Leena Leng, have never been challenged!" Leena's head wagged as she spoke. She even let out a belch.
"Very well. You'll regret it." Kevin was drunk too. He wasn't actually aware what he was saying to the girl.
"Hahahaha... You are full of empty threats, old man." Leena laughed, and kissed him on the lips to stop him from saying more.
Kevin paused for a while. Before long, he returned the kiss, hard, violently. He lost himself in the wine and her kiss. Kevin forgot about Daisy, forgot about who he was. The soldier was no longer in control, he was a beast who followed his instincts.
Driven by desire, they both wanted more of each other. Dragging Leena by her waist, Kevin staggered into the elevator. He had his own room in this bar, for it was operated by one of his pals.
As they entered the room, Kevin pressed Leena against the wall, and couldn't wait to kiss her again. Like a predator with its prey, he tore her clothes off, and caressed her lovely body.
Leena was a little scared. But she didn't push Kevin away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and raised her head to meet his lips.
He moved in for the kill. As Kevin thrust inside her, Leena cried out in pain, blood oozing from her essence. Kevin was surprised by her reaction. He thought her an easy woman, and far from a virgin. Now he was proven wrong.
But it wasn't his first experience with women. He was the son of a senior official, and had more life experiences than the most others. He had been with several women before, whenever the mood struck him.
Seeing Leena in pain, Kevin slowed down a little. But when she was accustomed to the pain and pleasure, he quickened the pace, harder and harder, pounding away at her, pinning her to the bed, shoving her deeper into the mattress with every thrust. Panting and moaning filled the room.
At Edward's house, Daisy had been shying away from him the whole night. She hadn't forgotten his threats. She figured she would be better off keeping her distance, considering she was still worn out from the night before.
"Are we playing hide and seek, or are you trying to avoid me?" Edward stopped Daisy when she wanted to pass by. This woman was bad. She had been ignoring him since he was back. She had sorted through her belongings and played with their child, trying to ignore him. But now she had used up all her excuses. 'I don't think she can avoid me anymore.' he thought.
"Um... I... I'm not ignoring you!" Well... She was actually fending him off. Not only because of his warning, but also because of what she read in these newspapers. She felt revulsed by it when she saw, though she always told herself to have more confidence in him, and in herself. She couldn't stop thinking of his romantic affairs with other women. She wanted to stay away from him, to avoid his gaze, his touch...
"Are you not? Have you noticed the time?" Edward gritted his teeth, and glared at her as he spoke.
Um... Well, I have a lot of things to pack. Daisy is a little frustrated. She was fine talking to other people. But when it came to Edward, she stuttered.
" Really? Show me. I'd like to see what's taking you so long. Edward scoffed. His face darkened in anger. He nibbled on her earlobe as he spoke, warm breath blowing into her ear. Daisy shuddered. There might be no getting away from this.
