To the Love of My Life

Chapter 304: 304: Observe Carefully and Learn Diligently (14)

As for her… Ruby opened her eyes and glanced at her body, only to find that there were no new marks added today, except for the bruises he left on her last night.

In the past, she would be in pain for quite a while after it was over, but now there was no pain, just a sense of discomfort, as if she had been hollowed out, feeling empty inside, which made her subconsciously clench her legs together, trying to alleviate the feeling of emptiness.

Steve Burton gently placed Ruby on the bed, not leaving without a word as before, but instead, he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her.

His eyes were burning with intensity, and Ruby knew this was a sign of his unfulfilled desire for more.

Just as her intuition hadn’t settled, Steve Burton lowered his head and his lips met hers again.

Their kiss was passionate and hot. Just moments earlier in the pool, Ruby struggled to breathe, desperately sucking air through his lips, fighting to steal a bit of air from his mouth. Now, as they kissed normally, Ruby didn’t know how to respond.

All she could do was lay there in a daze, letting him take from her.

His hands wandered dishonestly across her skin, evoking a strange sensation that spread throughout her body, making the emptiness within her grow even more.

This unfamiliar reaction frightened her somewhat, and she subconsciously clung to the bed sheets, causing her body to tense up unconsciously.

Steve Burton noticed her unease, and his touch gradually lightened, trying to help her to relax.

As his touch became gentler, the strange, empty sensation within Ruby grew even more intense, making her increasingly anxious. Finally, she reverted to her usual stiff, wooden-like state when they engaged in physical intimacy and silently prayed for Steve Burton to finish quickly.

Seeing Ruby with her eyes closed, lips tightly pressed together, and looking as if she were headed to execution, Steve Burton’s gentle expression slowly turned cold.

His gaze lingered on her face for a moment before moving down to her hands, which were gripping the bed sheets tightly. The knuckles protruding on her hands held a trace of pallor.

Steve Burton’s grip on Ruby’s shoulder tightened, his eyes flickering for a moment, and he lowered his head. The strength of his bite on her skin turned rough again, and his movements grew more violent.

Ruby felt the pain clearly as it crept over her entire body, causing her complexion to gradually pale.

That nightmarish torment had come again.

It was as though their painless, torment-free lovemaking in the pool had been just a figment of her wild imagination.

Ruby knew that once this pain unfolded, it would extend for a long time.

In an attempt to distract herself, she began counting numbers silently in her heart.

However, she had only just reached “nine” when the man on top of her suddenly became quiet.

Thinking it was her imagination, Ruby closed her eyes and waited for a moment, only to find that there was still no movement, prompting her to finally open her eyes.
