Ava was shocked to see lan in the room. His face was illuminated by the flame, exposing his handsome face. Even from a modest distance, he appeared to be very good–looking. She almost lost herself looking at him.
However, what he had done to her could not leave her mind. He was her ex–mate, the boy who insulted her in the whole university.
“What are you doing here?” she asked after clearing her throat.
But Ian did not reply to her. His eyes were on her and his hand was wrapping around her waist like a stone, which she could not move.

She looked into his eyes and saw something unfamiliar.
Her gaze shifted to the flame of the lighter, which was the only thing separating their faces. th was the only thing separating their faces.
She gulped when his hand moved a little, causing the flame to move with the sync.
She returned her gaze to him. He was still staring at her.
What did he want?
She pushed his arm from her waist and said,
“Move.”
The moment he moved back, the flame of the lighter blew away.
Once again, the room returned to its darkness. She took a deep breath when everything turned black in front of her eyes.
“W–Why did you-”
Ian cut her off and asked,
“Why did you come into this room if you are so afraid of the dark?”
His calm tone suddenly relaxed her inside. She took steps back until her back touched a wall.
She did not want to reply to this boy, thinking that he was making fun of her fear.
She folded her arms and closed her eyes. She rested her head against the wall without giving him any reply.
‘Keep calm, Ava. Five minutes will pass soon,‘ she told herself.
After a few seconds, she felt someone getting closer to her. She immediately opened her eyes, only to meet the darkness again.
However, she felt a warm breath on her cheek. She lifted her hand and felt the hard chest, which was almost pressing against her body.
“You haven’t replied to me yet, Nerd.” She heard Ian’s whispering tone.
She was stunned that he had found her in the dark. She realized that it was a small room.
“Didn’t I tell you to move away?” she said, pressing her hands on his hand.
At that time, he lit the lighter again.
As she tried to push him away, her hands paused. She looked into his eyes, which appeared to be strange.

She had never seen him look at her like that.
Her lips parted when she felt him stroking her bare arm with his other hand.
His eyes focused on her reaction. As if he were enjoying it, he moved his hand, which was holding the lighter, and tilted his head toward her ear.
“I can see that you can’t resist my touch. Then why are you even trying it?”
She blinked her eyes, at his seductive tone.
She tried to push him, but he stopped her by speaking again
“Are you afraid of me more than the darkness?”
When he moved his head to look at her face, she replied,
“What do you want, Ian?”
His hand moved from her arm to her face. She was surprised by his actions.
“What are you-”
“Ssh!”
He moved his hand, pressing his finger against her lips. Her heartbeat began to race when he leaned his face close to her.
“Why do you question so much?” he muttered as his nose brushed against hers.
Ava felt a thump in her throat. The closeness was making her weak.
On the other hand, her wolf began to react inside, just like before. She was worried about why her wolf always moved only when Ian was closer to her.
Could she not accept the rejection? Was that because her wolf was still unable to get over it?
Her mind froze when she noticed Ian looking at her lips.
Before she could react, the flame of the lighter turned off.
She immediately clutched his shirt tightly.
“It’s okay. I am here with you. Just relax.”
His voice almost soothed her.
She felt him move his head, which caused her to shut her eyes tightly.
He did not light the lighter again and put it into his pocket.
– After getting closer to her, he pressed his body against hers.
Ava let out a gasp But the next moment, she moaned,
“Ahh!”
It was because she felt a pair of soft lips touch her neck. When they brushed against her skin, she felt a sensation that was electrifying.
“I–Ian…”

She had no idea how he always came closer to her. After everything that had occurred between them, they ought to continue to behave as if they were strangers.
But this boy had other intentions.
He did not reply to her as he began to kiss her neck, making her lose her mind. His strong arms slowly wrapped around her waist, pressing her against him even more.
It was as if her moan made him crazy, and he wanted to get close to her as much as he could.
Ava did not know how to push him when he was making her feel like this.
With a slow and deliberate motion, his tongue rubbed against her skin, as if she were sweet, and he desired to taste it. t
She could not help but moan again. She had never been this close to anyone except him. He was the one who took her first kiss away from her and touched her like that. So after getting closer to him again, she felt the familiar feelings.
But suddenly, the truth struck her, bringing her back to reality.
Ian had a girlfriend, and not only that, he was with another girl a while ago.
How could she let him come close to her? He was just using her for a while like the night he kissed her at the club.
Almost immediately, Ava pushed Ian with all of her strength.
Ian’s body moved away from hers. She could not see his reaction. So she said,
“Don’t you dare touch me again. You are a dirty guy. I am not one of your puppets, Ian Dawson.”
