I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 66: Why are you so curious about this?

Ariel blinked her eyes and then looked away with flushed cheeks. She had been caught watching.

"Ahem." She cleared her throat. "I’ll look away, you can go ahead and dress up." She said,

"What are you doing here, Ariel?" He asked her.

"No, no, we have a lot of time to talk so take your time, put on your clothes and then we can talk."

"Just say what you came here to say. I don’t need to dress up first." He said and Ariel took in a deep breath, summoning courage to bring up the topic.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" She asked him.

"I’ve not been ignoring you. I’ve just been busy." He said, no hitch in his expression.

"But you refused to come down for dinner yesterday, breakfast this morning, lunch and even dinner this evening." She counted with her fingers. "You were at home the whole time and I don’t think you’ve ever missed eating at the dinner table, no matter how busy you were."

Raymond was silent. How was he going to talk his way out of this one? Then, his eyes subconsciously caught on to her night dress. Such thin clothing, she could catch a cold.

But other than that, her skin looked good. Her legs were still so long and smooth and her breast which looked like round oranges under the night dress, he couldn’t help but remember the moment he grabbed one.

Now he was realizing a lot of things and picking up on what he shouldn’t. It was burdensome and his eyebrows furrowed.

"I’ve just been too busy, Ariel." He said, his eyes darting to the side. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Really?" She asked, not catching on to the fact that he just gave her a full body scan with his eyes. "Are you sure it’s not because of that kiss?" She boldly asked.

"Let’s not speak about that. It was a mistake on my path so I apologize." His words immediately shut Ariel up.

So it was indeed out of curiosity. But she never pictured Raymond to be such a type that would test out his curiosity without the consent of the other party.

"Then, did you come to my room simply because you wanted to taste my lips?" She asked him outrightly, causing his eyebrows to twitch.

"Ariel, I said it was a mistake. Let’s not talk about it." He said. It looked like he really wanted to brush the topic aside and move on but Ariel wasn’t satisfied.

It was his fault for avoiding her all through, she would’ve brushed it aside if he didn’t do that.

"Well, yeah, it was a mistake on your path." Ariel said. "But don’t I, the girl whose lips were stolen during that mistake, get to know why you had come to me in the first place?"

Raymond stared at her. Why was she being so stubborn?

Ariel, who used to flinch as soon as they made eye contact, was currently challenging him while confidently staring into his eyes. She was the one who said she was scared of him at the beginning yet here she was, interrogating him like the obnoxious lady she was made to be. He really made one hell of a masterpiece out of her, didn’t he?

"Ah." Raymond exclaimed, covering a part of his mouth with his hand. "I understand." He said and turned to his wardrobe. "I’ll wear something quick and then we can talk."

(FYI, that wardrobe contains only his night clothes. Raymond has an entire room filled with his expensive customized and designer clothes as well as his accessories.)

Ariel finally felt they were going somewhere with this topic and took a seat on the bed. She looked round. The room was really spacious and its interior was themed black. It definitely suits a man of Raymond’s standards.

Ariel peaked at Raymond and watched him as he wore a shirt over those God given and gorgeous pecs. She wished she could just grope them the way she did the other time but that was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Ariel." Raymond called and Ariel immediately snapped out of it, turning her face away.

"Y-yes?" She answered.

"Don’t pretend you weren’t looking and turn to me." He said and she heard his footsteps advancing towards her.

’It’s fine. He already put on a shirt.’ She told herself and turned to look at him.

Raymond stood before her with his arms crossed.

"Did you...feel offended when I kissed you?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Not really. If anything, it was just surprising. I never expected it." She answered and they fell into a little silence before he threw another question at her.

"Why are you so curious about this?" He asked her.

"Because I found myself wondering, the whole day, why you kissed me." She answered honestly and Raymond paused. His gaze subconsciously stared at her lips as she talked and he knew he was in trouble.

He looked away, massaging his nose bridge as he asked,

"Is it that important?"

"If I did the same, wouldn’t you wonder?" She asked him and he paused, turning his gaze to her.

"What?"

"I said, if I suddenly walked up to you and kissed you after spewing vague words, wouldn’t you wonder why I did it?" She rephrased and he nodded to her reasoning.

"I suppose that is the case." He said. "Ariel, right now, I... I am not sure why I kissed you."

"What?" She looked at him confused and he took a seat beside her on the bed.

"Steve babbled a few nonsense to me and since I was fairly in a tight spot, unable to get any answers, I followed his advice." Raymond explained. "I just didn’t realize what I’d do if what he said was actually true."

"And what is this nonsense he was talking about?" He asked and Raymond watched her lips. "It couldn’t have been something bad, right?"

Raymond’s eyes on her lips made him go crazy. He should be rational at times like this yet he couldn’t think of anything other than wanting her lips, devouring them and owning her.

’It is all lust. I lust for her and nothing more.’ He told himself.

"Sir Raymond?" Ariel called. His silence was taking too long and she wondered what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, he leaned closer to her, reaching his hand towards her face.

"He said," he lightly brushed her lips with his thumb, his eyes still focused on them. "...if I look at a woman’s lips and feel the need to kiss them, then that means... " His eyes trailed up, meeting her eyes and exposing the desire in his own eyes. "...I want her."

At the mention of that, he pressed his lips on hers. Stealing another kiss from her.

Ariel, who had been stunned at his words, found herself kissing back. The kiss grew heated and before she knew it, she was lying back on the bed with Raymond dominating her from above, his hands were just above her head and she could faintly see his fist clenching hard as if he was trying hard to control himself.

He immediately ended the kiss and looked the other way, his fists clenching tighter than before.

"Not again." Raymond hissed. He couldn’t control it. He couldn’t control that damn desire that blinded his vision and blurred his thinking.

"Sir Raymond." Ariel called and he looked at her. Her disheveled appearance beneath him seemed to ignite the desire in him. "Is it true?" She asked him. "Is it true that you want me as a woman?"
