Chapter 44: I like your colors

I gulped, barely blinking as his solemn eyes and low tone sounded serious. My breathing grew a bit heavy, pressing my lips into a thin line. 

"Like...?" 

His long and thick eyelashes fluttered. "Like... tainting you with a different color."

"Will you forgive me?" he repeated the question with his brows arching.

"Well..." I averted my eyes and pondered about it quickly. "... maybe?"

"Don't." This time, my brows rose at his quick reply. "If I succumbed to my instincts and forced myself into you, no matter what reason, you shouldn't forgive me."

"Why?"
