Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Author’s POV

Two months later…

“I am back” Cara said as she entered into Chase’s apartment. She is coming back from her part time job.

Her eyes fell on her boyfriend who is sitting on the couch in living room watching some movie on the TV.

Everyday the first thing he does as soon as she enters in the house is walk up to her, pull her in his arms and press his lips against hers to welcome her.

But right now he is not even looking in her direction. His eyes are fixed on the TV screen and he is pretending like she is not even here.

Cara knows the reason why he is acting like this.

She sighed and started walking towards her grumpy boyfriend who looks like he is still upset with her.

She put her bag on the coffee table in the middle and sat down on the couple’s couch beside him.

“I said I am home” she repeated herself but again he didn’t react and kept ignoring her.

She sighed again, “May I know the reason why the mighty Chase Adams is sulking and why is he trying to ignore his precious girlfriend?” she asked in a teasing manner.

He finally turned his head to look at her, no let me correct it, to glare at her.

“Don’t act like you don’t know the reason. And most importantly don’t try to act cute in front of me. It’s not going to work” he said angrily and she knew that she messed up.

But she tried to play dumb. “I don’t know what you are talking about”.

“I already told you it’s not going to work” he repeated turning his attention back to TV making her sigh for the third time.

“Don’t tell me you are angry at me because I didn’t eat my breakfast and took my medicines before leaving in the morning” she exasperated.

“What do you think?” his angry gaze bore into hers and she knew what is coming next.

“It seems like there is something more” she replied.

“There is. Let me ask you something” he put the remote of the TV on the table and turned his body around so that now they were face to face. He averted his whole attention to her. And she knew she is in trouble.

“Did you take your medicine?” he asked directly coming to the point and she didn’t know if she should tell him the truth or save herself by lying. She couldn’t even reach the conclusion when he warned.

“Don’t even think about lying” and she couldn’t. She shook her head answering his previous question, “No I didn’t”.

“In the morning when you left the house in hurry, you said you will have your breakfast outside, to be exact in college. So did you do that?” he continued with his questioning.

“No, I didn’t” she pouted.

“Since the moment you left the house, have you eaten anything?” it was his next question.

She hung her head low, now not being able to look into his eyes and shook her head, “No, I didn’t”.

“So should I be angry with you or not? Isn’t my anger valid?” he asked and she instantly looked up giving him her best puppy eyes ever.

“Please Chase” she requested with a pout.

It works on him every time. It’s like her most useful and powerful weapon which she uses to calm him down whenever he gets angry with her, which actually happens very rarely.

He is very understanding, she knows.

Most of the times the couples, especially couples their age fight because of, jealousy, trust issues, for not spending the quality time with their partners, etc.

These are the common topics for arguments between young adult couples like them. But because of how understanding he is of her and how sorted she is, they don’t fight over those stupid things.

As Chase was never a kind of person, who let his jealousy rule his mind, heart and actions. Yes he feels jealous whenever he sees her talking with any other guy except him and his friends. But never for once he has told her to not talk with them.

He believes it’s her life and she has right to make friends with anyone she wants and even if he is her boyfriend, he has no right to dictate her life like some controlling freak.

Same goes to Cara as well. They trust one another with their everything. They let each other live their life as they want and at the end of the day come together to spend time with one another.

But right now he is angry with her and she is not blaming him for it.

She knows how caring he is for her. Even right now he is angry at her because he is worried about her, about her health. Because she is not taking care of herself.

“Now don’t show me that cute little pout. It’s not going to work this time. I am really, really, really angry and upset right now” he said and turned around to watch the TV.

‘Why didn’t you eat anything Cara? Why didn’t you take your medicine?’ she scolded herself in her head as she kept staring at him with her puppy eyes.

Chase could feel her eyes on him and the look she was giving him was doing something to him. He could feel butterflies in his stomach. He just wanted to pull her to himself and kiss her pout away.

But he can’t forgive her so easily this time. She really doesn’t take care of herself and takes her health lightly. And he has to punish her for that.

It’s been two months since her kidnapping incident.

Everything has been taken care of perfectly. Both Albert and Law were taken to the court. The court announced their punishment and sent them to the jail for their heinous crime.

This time Law’s father could not help his son even with all the power he holds, as his son was caught in the act.

On the way when police was transferring them from court to the prison, Albert tried to run away and was encountered by police officer.

It was quite shocking for everyone but this is what happened and no one could do anything about it.

Later they found out the reason why Albert was so obsessed with Chase and was hell bent on making his life miserable.

Actually, years ago when Chase caught Albert molesting a girl in his boxing class, this news then reached to his wife, he was so obsessed with.

When she found out what her husband was doing and what kind of person he really was, as he never showed his true face to her, she asked for a divorce.

In his rage he killed his own wife. He was a psychopath who didn’t like getting rejected or looked down by others and this is what his wife did so he killed her without thinking twice.

And he blamed Chase for it. He believed that if Chase didn’t tell the manager of the training center about what he saw then his wife would still be alive.

That is why he wanted to take everyone Chase loved away from him.

That is why he killed Valarie after R**ing her. At that time he was sent to jail but few months before he kidnapped Cara, he had escaped from prison.

Police was searching him but they didn’t make the news public that is why no one found out about it. For about two months he made his plan to kidnap Cara in order to torment Chase.

He also manipulated Law and involved him in his plan. This is also what he enjoyed doing. He was an expert in using other people’s anger and weaknesses and play with their emotions.

But at last all of it came to an end and it made Chase relieved.

After Cara was discharged from the hospital, doctor told her to take a rest of two more weeks before starting her daily life. She was still on medication for her injuries.

Chase took care of her in the best possible way. He was more like a husband who was taking care of his wife, during that time.

After two weeks of rest she resumed going to college and started focusing on studies. She also started her part time job at café again. Which she had stopped going to after Albert came in their lives.

And now with Law being in the jail, Chase was a lot more relaxed. So he gave her, her freedom back.

He stopped being with her all the time and allowed her to spend her time in college as she wants, just like other college students do.

He just drops her off to college and part time job and pick her up when she is done.

Everyday he made sure that she is eating her food on time, taking medicines on time and taking care of herself, because she really doesn’t care about herself at all.

This is why he is not going to melt with her cuteness and give her a little hard time, so she never repeats what she did today.

“Chase… please, I won’t do it again. I promise” she cooed, lightly tugging at the hem of the oversized shirt he was wearing.

He just crossed his arms over his chest before they betray him and wrap around her and pull her closer.

‘She needs to stop being so cute' he thought but instantly opposed the idea, ‘Actually no, she doesn’t. I love her cuteness’.

Cara bit her lips between her teeth as this trick of hers was not working on her boyfriend right now.

‘You need to do something Cara. You can’t let him be angry with yourself for a long time. God, I already miss him and want him to hug me close to his chest. Do something, do something…' she told herself.

An idea clicked in her mind and she bit her lips even more due to nervousness.

‘Will it work?’

‘I think it will'.

‘How would he react if I do that?’

‘He is probably going to be shocked at first. But I am sure he won’t be able to resist himself’.

She had a small conversation with in her mind with her inner self and the confidence that her mind was oozing out while answering her questions, encouraged her.

Taking a deep breath in, she decided to go with it hoping it is going to work.

She got on her knees and scooted closer to him. He turned his head around to look at her to see what is she doing but before he could understand anything, she was sitting on his lap, straddling him.

He was taken aback by her actions. He stared at her with wide open eyes as he asked in shock, “Wh.. what are you doing?”

“I am trying to check how long can you be angry with me” she whispered in a low husky voice, biting her lower lip, causing his eyes to widen even more.

She was trying to seduce him. His Cara, his sweet innocent Cara was trying to seduce him.

And man, he would be lying if said it wasn’t working already. His arms that he was folding over his chest slowly dropped to his side. He was itching to wrap them around her and pull her so close to himself so that there won’t even be a space for air to pass.

God, she looked sexy.

‘Shut up Chase. You can’t give in so easily. She made a mistake and she should be punished for it. Don’t fall for her tricks’.

He gulped slightly and started, “Don’t do this Cara. It won’t work on…” his words got stuck in the back of his throat and he felt his heart skip a beat when in a swift movement she leaned forward, stopping when her face was barely an inch away from his face.

His heart beat increased as he felt her sweet breath fanning over his lips. Her finger tips drew small circles at the back of his neck while the other hand was buried in his hairs, gently tugging them.

“You were saying something” she whispered over his lips while staring into his eyes which turned a shade darker. With every word she just said, her soft lips brushed against his, causing goosebumps to rise on his skin.

He swallowed hard and opened his mouth, “I… I was…” he couldn’t form a simple sentence.

He knows he has been in the similar position with her multiple times since they have started dating. F**k, he has been more closer with her before than this.

But still it was affecting him like it was his first time. Maybe because you have never seen this side of her before. This time she is the one who is trying to seduce him and if he is being honest, he is loving this side of her.

She moved her hand which was wrapped around his neck and rested it over his shoulder. Her thumb gently but sensually caressed the sensitive spot on his neck making him suck in a harsh breath and close his eyes to feel the intensity of her touch. The feeling gave him chills of pleasure.

“Yes, you were…” she repeated his words in a seductive whisper as she brushed her lips over his again but this time intentionally.

His hands moved on their own accord and came up to rest on her waist. Everything that she was doing right now was killing him.

Her finger tips caressing his hot skin, her warm breath which he was inhaling at this point, her slow torturing movements, everything was driving him insane.

He could already feel himself hardening inside his black denim jeans.

He can’t take it anymore.

He stretched up to take her lips in his mouth for a needy and deep sensual kiss but it was as if she was trying to tease him.

Before his lips could cover over hers, she pulled away from him with a small victorious smile plastered on her face. He looked at her with wide eyes which were slightly hooded.

“I guess you are still angry at me and don’t want to forgive me” she said faking sadness. “I will leave you alone then” with this she moved to get off of him.

“Ahh…” a shriek escaped her lips as she failed to get off of his lap when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her impossibly closer to himself.

“Chase…” she let out in shock but he didn’t let her say anything further and closed his mouth over her.

Her whole front was attached to his hard one as he sucked her lips hungrily. His one hand slipped to her lower back and he pulled her more into himself if it was even possible.

She gasped in his mouth when he pressed her hot core against his growing hardness. He took the opportunity to slid his tongue in her mouth.

He explored the familiar territory of her mouth with uncontrollable passion. He groaned when her tongue grazed against his. His other hand rested on her nape as he deepened the kiss.

Their tongues dueled until he felt her pressing her palm over his chest giving it a light push. It’s her way of telling him that she is getting out of breath.

He instantly left her mouth but his lips were not ready to leave her body yet. They moved over her jaw and trailed open mouthed kisses down her neck and then coming back up to her mouth.

He nibbled on her now swollen lower lip one last time before leaning his forehead over hers.

He was breathing hard as he looked at her. Her breathing ragged just like his.

“You like messing with me, don’t you?” He breathed out, his voice hoarse and thick, laced with lust.

“I was… I was just…” she whispered now feeling shy for what she did earlier.

“Shy, are we? How can you be shy after what you did few minutes ago? After seducing me to the point that I am in literal pain right now?” he rasped out slightly moving his hips, so that she can feel his hardness rubbing against her core.

She let out a soft moan and he felt delighted. She could feel the result of her bold actions down there.

“Chase…” she moaned again when he repeated the action once again and whispered,

“Now it’s time for your punishment for not taking care of yourself and for torturing me”.

With this he made her wrap her legs around his waist and slammed his mouth to hers for another hot and heavy kiss.

And Cara knew that Chase is not going to let her sleep a wink tonight.
