Male Lead, Please Dump Me Three Times - Chapter 42

His tongue deeply traversed between my lips, burrowing in.

I accepted such actions from Ray and slowly closed my eyes.

In the silent space illuminated by the moonlight, only the sticky sound of our flesh intertwining and separating echoed.

Due to his persistent kissing, a heated breath escaped through my teeth.

“Haah…….”

But Ray swallowed even the breath that leaked from me.

“Huh, hm…….”

Feeling the pressure, I wrapped my arms around his neck.

As though he had expected my response, Ray continued to roll his tongue gently without pause.

“Ha……. Ray, hmng……, wait, just…….”

I turned my head away, gasping for air.

Suddenly, Ray’s lips made a slight friction sound as we parted.

He grabbed my chin, turning me to face him again.

His dilated pupils lazily captured me, lying beneath him, exhaling breaths.

Our moist gazes intertwined in mid-air.

“…….”

“…….”

Ray gently licked my moist lower lip.

The soft and tender lips soon moved elsewhere, beginning to tease.

Wherever Ray’s lips touched, a warmth bloomed like flowers.

It felt as if his marks were being engraved everywhere.

Ray buried his face in my neck and took a moment to breathe heavily.

His thick breath on my tender skin made every hair on my body stand on end.

“Uh, huh…….”

He licked and pressed his lips against my neck repeatedly.

His lips, making a soft sound, eventually lingered near my ear.

Ray licked my earlobe and whispered,

“Why don’t you push me away?”

As if urging me to answer, he continued to press down, licking my tender skin.

But I didn’t want to push Ray away.

“Huhng……, I don’t know…….”

When I turned my head away, he pursued me from the opposite side.

“Huhh…… hmph….”

A new sensation made me let out muffled moans through my teeth.

I grabbed Ray’s hair and let out a groan.

Soon, his thick hand delved between the bed and forcefully pulled me by the waist.  

With his other hand, he gently lifted me by wrapping around my back.

Suddenly lifted into the air, I clung to his neck, begging for my life.

Ray sat me on his firm thighs.  

Then he skillfully removed the blanket draped over me.

“Huh…….”

His tight embrace around my waist and back made it hard for me to breathe.

Our bodies were closely pressed against each other by his strong grip.

The beating of our hearts echoed from the chests that touched.

Soon, Ray tilted his head, not allowing any distance between us, and burrowed between my lips again.

My head started to push back under the pressure of his kissing.

Ray softly enveloped my neck with his grip.

I was completely receiving his tongue like prey caught by a predator.

“Uhng…… wait, just…….”

I was trapped back and forth with no way to escape him.

I slightly twisted my head to gasp for air.

While I was exhaling breaths beneath him, Ray busily moved his lips around my neck, teasing me.  

An odd sensation made every joint in my body soften.

His sharp nose soon grazed and climbed up the tender skin of my neck. Ray’s lips finally reached near my ear.

His pressing body movements made my hair flutter in annoyance. He hurriedly brushed my hair behind my ear with desperate hands.

Suddenly, as his warmth around my waist disappeared, the cold air touching my body made me shiver.

Ray continued to press on after clearing away the hair, licking the earlobe now fully exposed.

“You should push me away. Right? Daisy.”

“Uh, huh……. Ha…….”

Ray’s hand once again swept down my back and tightly wrapped around my thin waistline as he pressed on strongly.

My tender body trembled under his forceful approach.

“Huhh, hmng…….”

Ray paused for a moment then buried his face in my neck again.

Then he exhaled breaths while whispering,

“Sorry. I didn’t want to do this.”

Even his whisper mixed with heavy breaths was enough to stimulate my tender skin.

Ray lifted his head to meet my eyes again.  

His red pupils fully reflected my panting self.

It was hard to meet his gaze properly as my eyes lost strength.

My body felt so languid as if it would melt away at any moment.

Ray’s blood-red pupils also seemed languidly relaxed like my body.

Instinctively, I stroked the back of his head.

Ray gently wiped my saliva-covered lips with his thumb.

He buried his head on my shoulder again, regulating his breath, and whispered,

“I’m sorry.”

Then he pulled me into his embrace and wrapped me with a blanket.

Ray tapped my back a few times and then gently lifted me up.

He carefully laid me down on the bed and kissed my cheek and forehead with a soft sound.  

Soon, Ray roughened his touch as he pulled the blanket up to my neck and buried his cheek in my hair.

Then he began to regulate his rough breathing.

His hand touched my waistline. My body unexpectedly twitched at his unfamiliar touch.

Ray gently stroked the trembling waistline and said,

“Sorry. Go to sleep now.”

“…….”

“…….”

‘What… is it really going to end like this…?’

Ray comforted me like he was soothing a child.

‘Are we going to sleep like this…?’

But my sudden confusion was brief.

Ridiculously enough,

I fell asleep, feeling drowsy from his warm breath brushing past my ear.

* * *

“Uhhng…….”

I barely lifted my heavy eyelids and rubbed my eyes.

The sunlight filled the room, greeting me with a bright ceiling.

“Are you awake?”

A soft voice reached my ears. It was familiar and deep.

He must have bathed at some point. 

Ray’s hair was wet again.

“Yeah……. When did you wake up, Ray?”

“Not too long ago.”

Ray said while looking at me sprawled and melting into the bed.

“Do you want to bathe while I prepare lunch?”

“Is it already lunchtime…? What time is it now?”

“It’s just past twelve.”

“I see……. You should have woken me up.”

“There’s still plenty of time, you can sleep more.”

I remained dazed, burrowing into the warm blankets and nodding my head.  

Ray patted me a few times before getting up and leaving the bedroom.  

The sound of the door closing made my senses gradually sharpen.  

The haziness in my mind began to clear as well.  

‘Was that… a dream yesterday…? That can’t be.’  

Ray looked no different than usual just now.  

His gaze was always gentle and warm.  

But no,  

It’s not always like that…  

Yes.  

It was exactly like before that event last night.  

“Or is it just nothing to him…?”  

I touched my lips, thinking. They seemed a bit swollen, perhaps it was just my imagination.  

It definitely wasn’t a dream.  

I could call it a dream, but I could vividly remember the sensations, breaths, and even the air.  

However, judging by Ray’s demeanor–calm and straightforward, it was as if nothing had happened.  

I murmured softly, touching my lips.  

“Was it not good enough…?”  

As various thoughts crossed my mind, the drunken haziness began to clear.  

I relaxed my weary body, took a shower, and hurried to the dining room, where Ray would be.  

Though I had briefly encountered him upon waking…  

I couldn’t help but feel nervous.  

Earlier, I was still half asleep, but now my mind was too clear.  

Facing Ray in broad daylight while fully conscious.  

Somehow, my face felt hot.  

“Ray…?”  

“You’re here? Sit down here. I’ve pulled out a chair for you.”  

I walked over to where Ray gestured and took my seat.  

‘As expected… It’s like nothing happened…?’  

I sneakily watched Ray’s back as he leisurely prepared the food.  

He was moving his hands skillfully, dressed in a light shirt.  

His muscles smoothly moved with his gestures and movements.  

‘Was I really in his arms yesterday…?’  

Though I tried not to look on purpose, my gaze naturally drifted towards Ray’s back.  

It would be quite embarrassing if our eyes met now.  

I lowered my gaze.  

The table was filled with various kinds of food, but none of them caught my eye.  

‘What is it… Was it really that bad? Why isn’t he saying anything…’  

“Start with the warm soup. Since you’re on an empty stomach.”  

He handed me a bowl of soup, steaming and rising from the plate.  

Ray took a seat opposite me.  

“Ah. Yes…”  

No.  

Yesterday, he sat beside me… Why is he sitting opposite now?  

That makes sense since Ray’s dining room is quite spacious, so much so that the table itself is huge.  

You’d have to speak up quite a bit, or else your voice wouldn’t reach the other side.  

Normally, I would have devoured the dishes aggressively.  

But I had no appetite at all.  

I just stirred the soup aimlessly with my spoon.  

“Doesn’t it suit your taste?”  

“Eh?!”  

“It seems like you’re not eating well.”  

“Oh, no, I’m just not fully awake yet. The soup is delicious. It’s my favorite cream of mushroom…”  

The food didn’t catch my eye at all.  

I tried to act nonchalant, but it was hard to manage my expression since he was sitting right across from me.  

Trying not to show it…  

It seems like my fidgeting gave it away.  

“Even if you’re not hungry, try to eat a little.”  

“Ah. Yes…”  

Where did the predator-like gaze that seemed to swallow me whole go? The Ray sitting across from me now seemed utterly peaceful.  

I glanced at Ray from the corner of my eye.  

Unlike yesterday, there seemed to be no noticeable difference in his expression or atmosphere compared to mine, who was distinctly conscious of him.

-Do you like me?
-Yes, I like you.

The words he said to me last night…  

Were they just whispered in the heat of the moment?  

‘Somehow… It feels disappointing…’
