ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA

My head thumped, and my temple throbbed as I came to.

I saw Sin’s head hovering over mine, and I glimpsed the alarmed look in his eyes.

He breathed out when he noticed me staring at him.

“Thank goodness you are awake! I thought you were dead.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I know you hate me, but don’t think you can get rid of me easily.” I winced, rubbing my neck.

He chuckled, shaking his head.

Despite how awful I was feeling, I smiled.

My brows creased whilst staring at him. I blushed as I noticed him doing the same, but my eyes didn’t leave his.

His hand moved to touch a strand of my hair, but he retracted it almost immediately. He hopped down from the bed, striding towards the wardrobe.

He flung it open and grabbed the shirt his hand came into contact with first.

“Where are you going?” I asked as he walked towards the door whilst adjusting the top button of the t-shirt he had slipped into.

He turned and glanced at me. “Are you missing my company already?” He asked with a smirk on his face.

“Never,” I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

He eyed me for a few seconds, then turned his back to me, walking out of the door without answering my question.

Groaning, I climbed down from the bed. My body felt sore, like a truck had run me over. Also, it ached and felt as if I was carrying a weight heavier than I was.

I trudged into the bathroom with the little strength left in me and stood in front of the sink.

Staring down at the torn nightgown, which was now a reminder of what had transpired the night before, I blushed whilst clutching the shredded piece.

I remembered all too well what had happened.

I don’t know if it was a good thing to recall the details of how he had groped me, or if maybe I was just insane.

But I couldn’t shake the image of him thrusting inside me out of my head.

I had freaking given myself to Sin like how my parents did.

I just confirmed he owned me!

He sure did!

What I had been keeping for the past twenty years of my life, I had given to him like it meant nothing!

Grimacing, I clutched the sink tighter.

No wonder he had a victorious look on his face some seconds ago.

He had freaking got what he wanted, and he didn’t even force me into doing it.

However, there was nothing I could do to stop him, even if I had the chance.

Sin was stronger than me, and he could easily overpower me.

Also, there was something strange about the way he acted. When I glanced into his eyes the minutes he thrust into me, I noticed how not only his eyes, but his features had changed.

Yet, I didn’t stop him even after noticing it because I was too blinded by desire. Again, I might have imagined seeing him change because, at that moment, all I wanted was for him to give me the pleasure I hadn’t experienced before.

Sighing, I gaze at my face. I still looked the same.

I could remember having a talk with Julie about people who had just had their first sex.

She had described their looks as glowing. She even told me she had glowed.

Yet, I didn’t see any of those changes in me. My face was puffy, and I looked like a mess as my dark-ginger hair was scattered on my head.

Perhaps I was different, and the glow after sex didn’t work on me.

I heard the door to the room unlocked. I darted to the door of the bathroom, locking it.

“Artemis!” Sin called.

It wasn’t the first time he had called my name, but I preferred when he used endearments.

I know it meant nothing to him.

He was using the endearments to goad me, and he often did it with contempt.

There was nothing sweet about the way he regularly called me whilst using the terms; Baby, Princess, darling, and the likes.

However, hearing him call me ‘Artemis’ felt pleasant. No one had ever called me in that short form after I told them not to.

I loathed it when my name was shortened. It makes no meaning to me and I feel it sounded absurd too.

However, Sin made it sound so sweet and almost sensual.

“Artemis!”

“I’m in the bathroom. I’ll be with you in a few minutes!”

After washing my body, I realized I didn’t enter the bathroom with a towel.

Also, there weren’t any in the bathroom cabinet.

“Shit!”

How was I going to go inside the room? I didn’t hear the door open or close since, and I believe Sin was still in the room.

There was no way I was freaking letting him see me naked. Even if he had several hours ago, I wouldn’t make the mistake again.

I walked to the door and placed my ear on it. “Sin?”

I received no response. But, I called his name again.

“What?!” He grunted.

“Hmm…” I faltered whilst thinking of how to form the sentence I was about to say.

“You want me to come into the bathroom with you?”

“In your dream,” I said, rolling my eyes even if he couldn’t see me. “I need a towel. I didn’t bring any with me.”

The room was silent for a few seconds before he spoke up. “I won’t mind if you walk in here with nothing on. You can show me what you got.”

“Keep hoping.”

“You know, sweetheart, I can get what I want from you.” He said.

I imagined his dark eyes twinkling and his lips curving up in a smirk whilst saying those words.

Indeed, he could, and he would make me scream out his name while at it.

I shivered, and I glanced at my hand. I noticed goosebumps on it from exposing my body for too long.

“Please…”

“I’ll leave the room for you because you pleaded.”

With that, I heard the door open and shut.

Slowly, I peeked into the room as I unlocked the door to make sure he wasn’t in there.

I let out a relieved sigh when I didn’t see him.

I scurried out of the bathroom and dabbed my body with a white towel before wearing my dress.

Not only that, but I plopped on the bed as soon as I was done. I stared at the ceiling for a while and sat up straight before falling back on the bed.

“This is going to be a long day,” I mumbled whilst rolling to my side.
