The look in Zaki’s eyes were as usual, deep and unfathomable but at that moment his beautiful eyes were gazing at her intently like never before. The two of them never once stare at each other this way. Their eyes were always been glimmering with both playfulness and lack of seriousness every time they look at each other’s eyes but now, it seemed somewhat different.
Hinari was actually being charmed by the beauty in Zaki’s eyes. He was just so beautiful. His eyes that were deep as a bottomless abyss, his gorgeous nose and those sexy lips were like a cheat that were effortlessly causing havoc inside her, almost forcing every rhythm of her emotions to waiver. Even though resisting the urge to playfully flirt with this beautiful creature was hard enough for her, she felt like the atmosphere between them that point of time was way too domineering.
The extremely rare solemn and earnest look in his eyes were effortlessly making her unable to restrain herself anymore as every string of her used to be unbreakable composure and self restraint was starting to break loose one after another.
That moment, the two of them just gazed at each other quietly and intensely. It was as if they were suddenly in a certain game of staring where the first to look away will lose. And no one seemed to be willing enough to back down, causing a great stalemate between them.
Seconds went by like how the meteors unknowingly passed by in the sky, fast as a blink of an eye. As Zaki looked at Hinari’s serious gaze -her eyes which were devoid with acts, seductiveness and mischievousness for the first time ever- he couldn’t help but wonder. He can’t believe that this eyes of her which were always filled with endless mischievousness and seductiveness were actually just a perfect cover, hiding the real thing within. He never saw her eyes this genuine, clear and breathtaking before.
Zaki was wonderstruck, at the same time, he realized that this girl was definitely a real performer, a much more skilled one than him. He disguised himself perfectly using a literal mask for a year but this girl was actually wearing her very own invisible mask for more than five years and Zaki was completely unaware about it.
Looking at her, he finally realized that he never had a glimpse of the real her until now. And for some reason, he suddenly felt like his heart was getting heavier. He was definitely displeased to himself that he failed to realized this sooner.
“Tell me, how long do you plan to keep on acting?” Zaki finally broke the great stalemate without breaking their gazing spree, causing Hinari to finally snapped back to reality and her eyes immediately switch back to its usual playfulness again.
“As long as you won’t say anything, I guess?” She replied with a smile and Zaki could only clench his fist. He somehow understood what was the meaning of her words. He also knew that this girl, which was good in observing others, will surely notice every little thing in his action so he wasn’t actually that surprised anymore. However, he really didn’t expect to hear those words from her. And surprisingly, what she said made Zaki recalled what Sei just told him, that this is his fault, causing Zaki’s eyes to turn even more unusually serious.
“Oh well, no worries Mr. beautiful. I was enjoying still but sometimes, when I get lonely and I can’t even ask my dear fiancé to accompany me to go out and have some fun, I’ll sometimes go mad so now I just want to punish you for being so cold to me over the years okay? Of course i won’t forget that you did always appear when i’m in great trouble so i won’t punish you heavily this time to show my gratitude, kay?” She continued as she suddenly slip her hands around his neck, pulling him closer to him.
“That’s why, be good and accept your punishment, my beauty.” She added, her voice now gone seductive and she was about to kiss him when Zaki suddenly pulled his body away from her as he forcefully removed her hands wrapped around him.
“Since you plan to punish me with a kiss, then, this is my punishment to you for being so naughty. I won’t let you kiss this beautiful body again unless you’re earnest enough.” He replied, leaving Hinari’s mouth to hang open due to surprise. Well, Hinari didn’t expect this kind of punishment from him. Moreover, he couldn’t believe that Zaki just asked her to be earnest.
“You… how could you ask me to be earnest when you yourself—”
Hinari could only swallow the rest of her words. It was because before she knew it, the man had slipped away from her claws.
However, just as she thought that Zaki will leave, the man suddenly walked around the bed and then casually laid beside her. He raised his hand and covered his eyes with the back of his hand while Hinari just watched him, speechless.
“Let me remind you that it’s almost dawn. Let’s sleep.” He casually said and Hinari could only blink.
“You forbid me to kiss you and yet you’re sleeping with me in the same bed?” She asked with disbelief and Zaki just replied lazily.
“Let me remind you that this is my bed, so don’t expect me to sleep anywhere.” He said and Hinari bit her lip. She really can’t understand this man sometimes. No matter how much she observe him, the way his brain works sometimes seemed too much for her to even begin to deduce that she even once thought that he was actually an alien disguised as a beautiful man.
“Did you really think I’m not going to make a move on you when you’re sleeping beside me like this?” Hinari asked as she rose and moved her face towards him.
“Did you really think I’ll behave if a beauty is right within my reach? This is the same as offering yourself to me, don’t you think?” she continued, purposefully letting her warm breath touch his skin. However, the man didn’t flinch. He continued covering his eyes with his hand as though he wasn’t affected at all.
“Even if you forbid me, you can’t blame me for falling into this great hole of temptation served in my table.” She again added and her hand was about to touch his chest when Zaki breathed deep as he finally opened his mouth speak.
“Hinari… I’m not really being threatened by an inexperienced virgin, so just be good, keep quiet and sleep.” Zaki said and Hinari immediately blushed hard. Her eyes widened as she bit her lip as hard as she could. The next second, her face darkened and puff of air were coming out of her nose.
Thankfully, she still manage to quickly recover and she narrowed her eyes.
She then suddenly moved and the next moment, Zaki’s eyes widened when the girl suddenly sat on his stomach as she straddled him.
“You…” Zaki who was stunned couldn’t even continue his words as soon as he saw her expression. She looked angry yet still seductive. She was like a hungry lioness and her eyes were just so captivatingly dangerous.
“Wrong move my dear. You shouldn’t be underestimating virgins too much. I will show you what a virgin could do.” She said before she bent without a warning and she bit his nape, as if she suddenly turned into a hungry vampire.
