*Elena's POV*

I wasn't drunk, just a little tipsy. It annoyed me that Ethan was just standing there and staring at me with his jaw clenched, as if he wanted to squeeze the blood out of a bird nearby. Why couldn't he just kiss me already?

"Kiss me." I whispered, pleadingly

"No." He barked

"Why not?" I felt like a child who was constantly whining after getting her lollipop snatched away

"Because I'm not interested." He replied coldly

That really broke my heart. Was I ugly? Or maybe too clingy? Or really desperate?

"I-I need to go to the bathroom." I croaked weakly and got up from the bed. I needed to get away. He couldn't see me cry.

I sped towards the bathroom and closed the door behind me. All the tears started falling and I hugged my chest, feeling cold.

I should've known.

I looked at myself in the mirror consciously. All the make-up was still on. It looked natural and suited me, well atleast I thought so. My mascara was a little smeared from the edges because of crying but it didn't look bad.

I angrily stripped my dress off until I was standing in my red lace bra and panties. I needed to take a hot bath. I was about to un-clip my bra when the door suddenly burst open, revealing an angry and lustful Ethan.

At first I thought about quickly wrapping myself with a towel but instead I just stood confidently, looking at him straight in the eye. There was no need to worry about him anymore, he hated me.

"I want you." He said in a husky voice and locked the door behind himself.

My heart was beating wildly but complaining at the same time. He first makes me cry and now he makes me want to love him all over again.

Stay strong Elena, don't give in to him

"Too bad, I don't." I replied coldy and put my hand on my hip.

His eyes roamed around my body shamelessly and then he smirked.

"Oh really now?" He cocked his head to the side.

Can my heart stop beating like crazy for once when I'm around him?

"Yes." I narrowed my eyes. Two could play a game.

He clenched his jaw in anger and came really close to me. He narrowed his eyes in slits and then smirked. Before I knew it, he slid his shirt off and left me drooling.

Holy shit. Is that a six-pack?! His chest looks so hard. And just look at those abs... he must work out like every day.

I was too busy staring at his chest when I heard a sexy laugh. I jumped and looked at Ethan's amused eyes.

"What?" I spat bitterly as if nothing happened when deep down I was burning with embarrassment.

"You're studying my chest like you have to take an exam on it tomorrow." He laughed

"No I wasn't! Like I told you, I'm not attracted to you Ethan." I lied

He raised a brow in a mocking way and inched so close to me that our bodies would be grinding if we started moving. I inhaled nervously as he looked deep into my eyes.

"How does that feel?" He asked as he ran his fingers down my body, grazing his thumb with my skin.

"Leave me alone!" I tried to push him away. I didn't want him to know that my body was screaming for his touch.
