Chapter 32: An Apology

Selma Payne's POV:

What he said was the last straw. I glared at him angrily. "Don't you regret it later!"

In fact, I knew that I couldn't win against an experienced warrior, but I just needed to stall for time. However, I didn't have time to resist and was overpowered by him again. He held my hands with one hand and wrapped the other around my waist. I almost leaned into his arms.

"Selma, you're not ready yet."

He whispered in my ear. I suddenly realized that our current position would make anyone who saw us suspect that there was some overly intimate relationship between us, especially when he still had a girl in his heart that he couldn't get. Our current position was inappropriate, so I quickly burrowed into his embrace.

"Again!"

He looked at me helplessly and indulgently. "No matter how many times we try, it would end up like this. I know you're working hard, but you still need to learn more about combat."
