It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 176: Weak against her

Petal was dumbfounded by the audacity of this man. Why is asking her when he has no right?

Placing the cup of coffee on the near table. She crossed her arms looking at him.

Ethan’s lips curled up into a smile. She looks cute when she acts tough.

"What do you want?" Petal asked. signaling.

Stepping close to her. He reached to push her hair back."I already asked you. Where are you going?" Ethan asked again.

"That is not your business." Petal replied. signaling.

"Petal." He called her name in a warning tone.

They looked into each. If someone would pass them right now they would think that they’re enemies and didn’t used to be lovers. For a second Ethan thought Petal would weaken in front of him. Reminded by the moments they shared. But she didn’t. She stood her ground.

"Why do you care? It’s not like you care about me." She said, signaling.

In her words: Ethan now was the one reminded by what he did. Regret started to build inside of him.

Petal took a step closer from him to the point that they were dangerously close to each other. Now that she finally got the answer to her question by the look in his eyes. The ball is in her court. He did have feelings for her. More than that. He’s weak towards. She could sense how his body stiffened. A smile appeared on her lips as she cupped his face.

Ethan’s body immediately reacted to the touch of her hand. Her touch was gentle but the look in her eyes wasn’t. Still, All that he wanted was to embrace her in his arms and never let her go. He couldn’t believe how weak he was against her. But he wasn’t angry. What twisted feelings Ethan thought to himself.

Petal’s hand slid down from his face lower to his neck down to his chest where she started to draw circles on his chest. Ethan’s hands automatically went to her small waist. She was playing with fear. He was an inch close to losing his control and she knew. He too but he didn’t do anything to stop her reckless actions. His mind failed to understand why she was doing this? Why was she seducing him when she despised him?

Because she was wearing high heels boots. Petal was almost the same height as him. It gives her an advantage in this situation. Bringing her hand to his lips. She touched his lower lip with her finger feeling his uneven moist breathing against the tip of her finger. His body state was the wear she wanted him to be. Leaning closer. She brought her lips close to his but she didn’t kiss him. She felt his hands grip her waist tightly.

"Petal." Ethan whispered her name. His body tensed and started to not obey him. His lips sealed hers wanting to feel the softness of her lips. The taste of her lips. Damn it he was losing his control. Her scent was all over him. Trapping him and he didn’t dare to move. He never thought his dear queen was able to do such things. She always seemed innocent.

He tried to kiss her but she didn’t let him. She continued to brush her finger against his lower lip back and forth. Yes. She knew that she was torturing him. She knew that and enjoyed it. She could feel his hardness against her stomach. Now that she brought him where she wants him to be. It was time for the last move.

Stepping away from him. Petal picked up her coffee cup and went upstairs and never turned to look at him. Leaving him with an aroused body that she can only calm.

The warmth in his arms was gone and was replaced with the coldness. Her sweet scent was gone. That moment Ethan realized how much he had been humiliated. Now he understood her plan. She wanted to show how she felt by what he did.

Running his hands through his hair. Ethan sighed in frustration. Fuck. She only touched him. Stood in his arms. But that made him hard as a rock for her. He was glad that he controlled himself and didn’t do anything. Though what happened was wrong, he couldn’t help but smile to himself. He believed that this wasn’t the end of her plan to humiliate him. Now he was excited to know what she will make him do next.

----

Petal closed the door to her room and locked it behind her.

Placing the cup of coffee on her desk. She sat down on the chair trying to calm herself. She couldn’t believe what she did. For a moment she almost lost herself in the moment and kissed him. When she was in his arms. Her body yearned for his touch. The dark side of her wanted him to take his room and touch her body. She wanted more.

But at least she was able to make fun of him. She made him think that she was weak against him. Made him think that he was in control only to leave him when he’s turned on. Itching to be touched only to be left in the end. It gives her some kind of satisfaction to know that she had control over him. Even for just a moment.

Standing up. Petal walked towards the balcony. She needed some fresh air to breathe after what happened. Placing her hands on the railing. Petal looked ahead of her. The cold morning wind touched her skin, relaxing her tensed body and her troubled mind.

A smile appeared on her face when she saw the dogs running and playing with each other. They looked so cute. She wanted to go and play with them but she wanted to go and visit her mother’s grave today. After that, she’s going to take a look at the house that Ethan gifted to her. She thought it’s better to move there immediately rather than trouble herself looking for a new house. This one is ready. She might only need one maid to take care of the house.
