Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

"I can't believe you," I whispered as I gently stroked his hair so as not to wake him. "I should be the one sleeping since you made me tired." After we made love, I thought I would be the one to sleep first because of my body pain, but here he is, sleeping soundly beside me. Still, seeing him like this feels wonderful. His hand is still wrapped around my waist as if I were about to leave his side, even though I'm not. He was unconscious, yet he remained protective. How adorable.

"Oh, fuck," I muttered as I felt the excruciating pain between my thighs.

I never thought that there would be pain again after the pleasure. Damn, it feels like my body is being torn apart again.

However, despite the pain, I feel happy. So, this is what it feels like to express your true feelings, huh?

At first, I was afraid he might hurt me, but that's just how love is. We can't love people if we're not prepared for the pain.

"Hmmm," Ash groaned as he caressed my waist. "I heard you, does it still hurt?"

"Big time," I replied, fixing his hair. A few strands of his hair are blocking his face. "But I'm okay. Did you sleep well?"

"Who wouldn't if you're next to me, looking at me as if I am the luckiest guy on Earth?" He smiled before kissing the tip of my nose. "You have no idea how long I've waited for this." "What do you mean?"

"This. You were lying beside me after we made love. It felt like a dream, but I was happy it wasn't. You have no idea how happy I am right now," he said. This time, he was caressing my arm.

His gaze sharpened when he saw a few more traces of wounds there, but I held his chin and made him look at my eyes.

I don't want him to make a big deal out of this. If the time comes and he asks where I got these bruises, I wouldn't know how to answer him.

"I am, too. I caressed his lips. They look angelic right now, but we both know how sinful they are. "I'm happy because you didn't kill me, and Mason was wrong."

His forehead creased, but he didn't speak.

"Mason said you were assigned to kill me. Was it true?"

"It was," he answered without hesitation.

My lips parted in shock, yet I nodded. This is why I trust Ash. He was able to tell me the truth, no matter how painful it would be for both of us.

"If you're the next heiress, then it was my mission to kill you," Ash added.

"Then... Why aren't you doing it? I'm vulnerable right now," I said, staring into his eyes.

"Because I can't kill someone innocent," he answered in a straightforward tone. "If I had really done it, Evangeline would have been dead long ago. Ash pinched my cheek afterward. "Did Mason tell you I was here?"

I nodded.

"No wonder you suddenly know this place," he said, shaking his head. "And to answer your question, I killed you earlier, right? With pleasure." He winked.

My face turned red. I suddenly remembered how I moaned under him and how he feasted on my body earlier.

I was about to turn away from him, but he tightened his grip on my waist so I couldn't move.

"Are you shy?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No..." I muttered, focusing my attention on the ceiling. "A-Aren't you going to take me home? It was late."

"I won't." He sat down carefully so he wouldn't bump into me. "You can barely walk, and you still want to go home?"

He has a point. Even a slight movement can make my whole body ache right now. But I liked it too, didn't I?

"Still, my mom will be worried," I told him.

"Don't worry about that." Ash took his phone and called someone.

"What?" Mason said on the other line.

Ash had his phone on loudspeaker and showed me the screen so I could see who he was calling. I raised an eyebrow. Why Mason, of all people?

"Let your mom know that Sapphire has a school project for three days," Ash said directly.

My eyes widened, and I almost cursed him because it seemed like he was about to reveal what had happened between us.

"Her mom will freak out if I call, but since you're her brother, she'll agree," Ash added.

"Are you out of your mind?" I whispered, glaring at him, but he just grinned at me before flicking my forehead.

What the heck!

"It's raining hard, and she couldn't walk properly because we did... something," he said as he glanced at me, smirking, clearly enjoying my reaction.

"Sapphire was there?" I could hear the frustration in my brother's voice.

"She's hardheaded. You should have known that," I heard Evangeline spoke, as she was apparently with Mason now.

We do have the blood of being in a mafia, so why would they be surprised by my boldness? It makes sense, actually.

This is why I am surprisingly brave, even though I hadn't lived in a challenging environment before.

"She came here, and I owe it to you, despite all the nonsense you've said." He leaned back against the headboard. "I love your sister, and even you can't take her away from me, Mason. And tell Rose to stop liking me. I've already made love to the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"Ash!" Evangeline and I both shouted at him, but he hung up the call and turned his attention back to me.

He was so straightforward! I felt sorry for Evangeline because I knew how much she liked Ash.

"Rest well, baby." He stood up from the bed and adjusted the covers around me, even though they were already fine.

He kissed my forehead, which made me smile a little, but that quickly disappeared when I heard what he said next.

"You'll spend three more days with me, and I'll make sure this won't be the last time I fuck you."

The next morning, Ash greeted me with a peck on the lips. "Good morning, baby. How's your sleep?".

"It was good. I just feel... Sore." I honestly replied.

I tried to sit down, and Ash assisted me because he knew that I was still having a bit of difficulty moving around.

"Do you have no classes? Why are you still here?" I asked, confused, as I looked at the wall clock. "It's eight in the morning. Isn't your internship starting at this hour?"

His brow furrowed, as if he was puzzled by what I said. "What made you think that I would leave you here all by yourself? My internship can wait. You're much more important than that."
