Crimson Instinct

Chapter 254: Throwing away the shackles

Bai Li carefully gauged Rodey's expression.

"Why are you so quiet? It isn't like you, Rodey. Oh, wait. You seriously assumed she would stay single? Isn't that selfish?"

Bai Li sneered. "But oops. Who am I talking to? You were always a selfish scum in the first place."

Rodey said nothing.

"Well, good luck to Ying Yue for loving a scum like you. I feel bad for her."

He clenched his fists.

Bai Li knew he had said enough to make Rodey realize. He smirked and left.

Rodey stood in his place in a stupor. He felt a soft hand on his shoulder. "Rodey?"

He snapped out and looked down to see Ying Yue looking at him, concerned. "Why are you out of your room again? You should be resting."

Rodey narrowed his eyes and looked around, but that other intern was already gone. He grabbed her arm and sneered. "I could have been resting now if not for you annoying me."

Ying Yue blinked her eyes. "What did I do? How can I annoy you even before our conversation started?"

Rodey's mouth twitched.

So she knows she is annoying me still

"Come with me!"

He dragged her inside the ward and pushed her against the wall. He snatched the lunch box and threw it aside.

"Don't throw it like that. It's your lunch."

"Shut up!"

She pursed her lips. "Why are you angry?"

"You don't seem to like doing anything else than to make me angry!"

"What do you mean?"

"What the fuck were you doing with that bastard now who harassed you a few days ago?"

Ying Yue opened her mouth in a small O. "Oh. We were just talking."

A vein popped on his forehead, and he angrily laughed. He threateningly stepped towards her and completely backed her against the wall. "You were 'talking happily' to that man who flirted with you? Are you stupid!"

He was leaking danger signs all around him. Anybody else would have collapsed out of utter fear.

But Ying Yue didn't flinch at all. "I am not. Bo Feng came to apologize to me since he is under suspension from tomorrow for three months. So, he called me to say sorry."

Rodey was more furious now. He said through gritted teeth. "You...know his name?"

"He introduced himself."

He rubbed the space in between his brows. "Babe, if you tell me right now that he knows your name, then you are dead."

Ying Yue didn't understand his source of anger. "I didn't. It just never came to that."

Rodey seemed to be less angry now.

"And you believed his so-called apology?"

"He seemed genuinely sorry."

Rodey snorted. "Yeah, like you thought the fake interview was genuine too. Nice brain you got there."

She couldn't retort anything to that.

He pinched her jaw. "And if he apologized, then why the fuck were you talking with him for so long! How much time should a shitty apology take?"

Ying Yue stared at him. "I see...so you were watching us," her lips curved into a faint smile, "were you jealous?"

Rodey fumed like a volcano once again, but this time Bai Li's words rang in his ears.

Will she waste her life waiting for a fruitless love?

Do you assume she would stay single?

Then he heard his own voice sneering at him as it said, 'Are you ready to see her with another man one day? And maybe...with his children too?'

The raging volcano inside him calmed down. Rodey shut his eyes and exhaled a deep breath.

Ying Yue was sure that she saw his temper flare up, but then he suddenly went quiet. There was silence for a long time.

Rodey slowly opened his eyes and stared straight at her, and he confessed for the first time. 

"Yes, I was jealous."

Then he grabbed her head and crashed his lips on hers.

Ying Yue froze. She was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. She thought she would get an earful again for talking nonsense, but to her shock, he confessed that he was jealous and now

Now he was kissing her with a burning passion.

Before she knew what happened, Rodey had already captured her lips as if a violent storm had broken out. His lips pressed harder and harder on hers as he devoured them hungrily. When he wasn't satisfied, he bit her lip hard and thrusted his tongue inside her mouth, making her gasp.

This was Ying Yue's first kiss, and she was already feeling breathless. He realized that, yet he didn't release her. Instead, he ventured deeper in her sweet abyss and tasted every nook and corner of it, mingling his tongue over and over against hers.

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she lost the strength to stand on her knees. But Rodey had firmly secured her. 

Rodey parted away for a moment, and she gasped hard, taking a mouthful to air. Then he smashed his lips again, this time with even more vigor than before. 

Damn, her tongue is so soft.

He was mesmerized as he swirled and danced his tongue on hers.

He was relieved to know that this was Ying Yue's first kiss or else

His eyes narrowed dangerously.

I would have killed that man!

Ying Yue was completely taken over by Rodey's force. She was only drifting along wherever he was taking her. The kiss from her end was a sloppy one, but Rodey was experienced. She felt it through his kiss. 

He was an expert in maneuvering the kiss, and he exactly knew the pleasure spots and how to build the ecstasy.

Although she knew that Rodey had kissed and slept with countless women, she felt disappointed about it for the first time. She felt her heart prick to imagine Rodey kissing another woman.

After a long, wet kiss, he finally parted away and released her. 

She took deep breaths again. Her chest was heaving up and down, and her gaze had turned misty with messy hair at the back.

She was feeling a little down thinking about other women, but the moment she raised her head looked up into his eyes, all those thoughts vanished away instantly.
