CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 388: BITE HIM

Ava Sterling was carried out of the bathroom by Poe Vaughn and placed on the bed with a blanket over her.

But as soon as the blanket was on, Ava immediately slapped his hand away, wrapped herself in the blanket, and ignored him.

She was angry.

Very angry.

Because she didn’t even need to check the time to know it was late.

The sky outside had turned dark, long since dark, and she needed to stop him, wanted to get back to her classes, but he completely ignored her, insisting on tormenting her.

Great, she’s been tormented until now, what class is she attending?

To hell with classes!

Poe watched as she wrapped herself up in an instant, covering her whole body and face with just her thick long hair exposed.

She lay on her side, her back to him, using her silent protest to show her displeasure that he wasn’t listening to her.

He looked at her side, the blanket arched up, without making a sound, he straightened up and went to the walk-in closet.

Inside the blanket, Ava was sweltering. Normally, it wouldn’t be so hot, but she was angry now, and the heat emanated from her body, raising the temperature inside the blanket, making her even angrier.

And she heard his footsteps leaving.

No surprise.

He was definitely leaving, he had to go on a business trip.

Even if he left a bit later, it wouldn’t matter; it wouldn’t affect him.

But it affected her a lot!

Could her time be as free as his?

He was the financial backer, controlling everyone’s time, while she was a miserable worker, with no control over her own time.

And because he was the financial backer, he would exploit her without restraint, it was truly too much!

Thinking about this, Ava got angry, the more she thought, the angrier she became.

Suddenly, she threw off the blanket, sat up with a thud.

She glared at the closet, although the light was on inside, she couldn’t see him, but in such a dark night, every sound was amplified.

Even the sound from the closet.

She could clearly hear the rustling sounds coming from the closet as he dressed.

He was quickly going to leave.

He was fine, he could do whatever should be done after tormenting her, completely unaffected, and what about her?

What about her???

Thinking of the three precious hours she had anticipated, now wasted, Ava tightened her lips in frustration, threw off the blanket, wanting to go over and do something.

Otherwise, she would stay mad for a long time!

But the moment she threw off the blanket, a rush of cold swept over her.

Ava stopped, looked at herself, only then realizing she wasn’t wearing anything, completely exposed.

Ava’s face darkened.

She looked around, saw no clothes, then looked at the blanket, and simply grabbed it to wrap around herself, storming towards the closet to confront him.

At this moment, in the closet.

Poe Vaughn stood in front of the full-length mirror, buttoning his shirt.

Suddenly, an intense wave of anger came from outside, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, quickly followed by a sudden grab of his hand as he was fastening his cufflinks.

It was almost too quick for him to react, and soft lips fell on his hand, a slight pain spreading from his hand to his heart.

In this moment, he stopped, his hand unconsciously loosening its grip.

He lowered his head, looking down at the person biting his hand in anger.

Ava was biting him.

Biting hard.

And she glared at him fiercely as she bit, as if she wanted to devour him whole and chew him to pieces.

She was very angry, extremely angry.

Staring at her face full of anger and resentment, her eyes blazing with fiery rage, after a long time, his gaze shifted to her, looking at the blanket wrapped around her body.

The blanket covered her whole body, wrapping her like a cocoon, but because she was holding his hand, the blanket slightly loosened, even slipping down, revealing her beautiful shoulders and collarbone, covered with marks.

All left by him.

He raised his hand and pulled the blanket up to wrap her properly.

Ava was venting her anger, she needed to let it out, otherwise, she would explode.

And as she bit him and glared at him, the fire burning in her heart seemed less daunting.

However, when he used his other hand to adjust the blanket for her, her anger flared up again.

Didn’t he feel pain?

She was biting him so hard, yet he didn’t even flinch.

Not in the slightest bit of pain, still having the energy to do other things.

This infuriated Ava even more, she bit down harder.

Poe felt the increased pressure on his hand, as if she wanted to bite a piece of flesh off him, his actions paused, then he looked at Ava.

Ava’s anger surged, her clear and bright eyes were obviously full of fiery rage, burning even more fiercely than before, as if determined to make him hurt, hurt a lot.

Seeing him in pain would make her feel better.

Poe didn’t move, just stared at her, watched her rage, letting her bite him.

Ava looked into those deep eyes, calm and profound, with no trace of pain.

Logically, she should be angrier, but as she looked into his composed eyes, as they made eye contact, slowly, her flames of anger diminished bit by bit.

The lips biting on Poe’s hand gradually eased, the force lessened.

Finally, Ava just released his hand and walked away.

No fun!

She just took two steps when she was pulled back.

Ava’s heart tightened, alarms ringing in her mind.

How could she forget, this man was a wolf, one that devours without spitting out the bones.

After what she had just done to him, there was no way he’d just let it go.

At that instant, Ava’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately grabbed Poe’s hand, shouting loudly, "Poe Vaughn, are you even human?"

"You’ve been tormenting me for hours, I can’t even attend my classes, have some decency and let me rest, okay?"

"Even if I were a doll, it’s impossible for me to endure your torment for twenty-something hours a day, I’ll break down eventually!"

"How will you play if I’m broken?"

Ava didn’t care anymore and just said what came to her mind.

And that hand, she tried harder to free his grip.

But if he didn’t let go, how could she escape?

Just like before, in the bathroom.

There was nowhere for her to escape.

Ava panicked, struggling in his arms, "Poe Vaughn, you need to go on a business trip, right? Your trip’s definitely important, you need to go handle that, you can’t spend all day consumed by beauty, don’t be swayed by it and forget what you need to do!"

"You’re a big shot at Celestial Holdings, if you keep this up every day, you’ll be done for!"

Poe didn’t intend to do anything, but at that moment, watching her struggling in his arms, her angry and tense words, especially her anxious and frantic struggle, he didn’t let go, just held her, watching her struggle.

Like an angry little tiger, all teeth and claws, but not sharp.

However...

Seeing her face getting redder from the struggle, her eyes more anxious and confused, and especially when the blanket was about to fall to the ground, exposing more of her body, he decided not to tease her anymore.

He gathered the blanket and wrapped her up, speaking in a low voice, "Pack my luggage."
