This was all just Ivy getting trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt where everything seemed doomed from the start.
Damion felt exasperated yet amused at the same time by Ivy’s behavior – this girl never gave him a chance to speak!
Damion, feeling helpless, held Ivy’s face in his hands and made her look at him.
This action left Ivy stunned for a moment. She blinked rapidly, and her face almost squished into a bun by Damion’s grip.
She didn’t need to look in the mirror to know how twisted she looked at that moment.
Ivy wanted to break free from Damion’s grasp, because the feeling was just too uncomfortable.
However, Damion didn’t give her any chance to do so. He applied more pressure as if he were holding
Ivy’s head in place.
Ivy couldn’t move and could only be held obediently by him.
Damion said, “Ivy, this is your last chance. If you want to fly away, I’ll give you the opportunity.”
Finally snapping out of her emotions and understanding what Damion meant with his words, Ivy stared blankly at him before finally asking, “Where can I fly?”
This sentence was like an oath that conveyed all of Ivy’s feelings directly to Damion.
At this point in time, there was no need for any pretense or concealment on Ivy’s part since everything had already been exposed.
Damion smiled slightly and said, “Then be with me.”
Ivy looked at Damion with great shock as she sank into disbelief.
She should have been overjoyed but she hadn’t had time yet.
She stared at Damion, wanting to see something in his eyes, but all she saw were a pair of incredibly serious eyes.
Damion was always gentle and kind-hearted. At this moment, as he looked into Ivy’s eyes, there was not only tenderness and seriousness but also an undisguised affection.
Ivy was sure that she wasn’t mistaken. It was just hard for her to believe that it could be true. How could this be possible? It couldn’t be real.
Ivy had no idea how to convince herself otherwise. She stared at Damion for a long time without knowing how to react.
But Damion didn’t rush her or pressure her, he just looked at her with gentleness in his eyes.
Finally, Ivy said, “Can I assume that you’re telling me you like me?”
It was hard to believe, but it seemed like it might actually be true. Something that made Ivy both overjoyed and afraid it might not be real after all.
Damion nodded and said, “Yes, you can think of it that way.”
His lips curved into a smile so tender it almost hurt Ivy’s heart. In an instant, she fell under his spell.
She sniffled for a while before finally asking, “Damion, are you really not just messing with me?”
She couldn’t believe it.
Damion replied, “I’m not that bored to bully girls. It’s not something I would do.”
Ivy immediately felt a bit aggrieved and reached out to hook her arms around Damion’s neck. She said,
“Can I cry on your shoulder for a while then?”
Damion sighed and released his hands from holding Ivy’s face. He pulled her into his embrace and let her lean against his shoulder.
He said, “You can use my shoulder as much as you want but I don’t recommend crying.”
Ivy sniffled again and tried hard to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. But it was futile.
She couldn’t control herself and wanted to cry so badly.
With both eyes buried in Damion’s shoulder, Ivy said, “But I can’t control myself.”
Damion patted the back of Ivy’s head lightly and said, “Well then I have an idea that might help solve your problem.”
Ivy lifted her head from Damion’s shoulder in confusion and asked him what he meant by that.
Looking into Ivy’s eyes once again with both hands holding onto her face this time around, he leaned forward until his lips met her eyelids softly.
Startled by the sudden kiss on her eyelids, she opened one eye wide in shock but since Damion was still kissing them, she could only open one eye at a time.
After releasing Ivy, Damion saw her maintaining a strange expression. One eye was wide open while the other was tightly shut.
Damion couldn’t help but laugh and pinched Ivy’s cheek, saying, “Snap out of it.”
Ivy obediently came to her senses but stared at Damion for a long time.
Damion said, “You didn’t cry. That’s useful.”
Ivy felt as if she could hear some smugness in Damion’s tone. It was like he was telling her that he had complete control over her.
Although this was true, Ivy suddenly had a different idea. She wanted to be bold.
So Ivy’s body acted before her brain did. She lifted both hands and held Damion’s face just as he had done to hers earlier.
Then the next second, Ivy pounced on Damion and kissed him deeply on the lips.
“Hiss…”
The sound of two gasps filled the room.
Ivy immediately let go and backed away, looking like a guilty girl. Although she was in pain, she didn’t dare cover her mouth.
Damion couldn’t help but laugh. This girl knew she was kissing him, but anyone who didn’t know would think they had some deep grudge against each other for her to bump into his mouth like that.
He licked his lips lightly and tasted blood. He bit down hard on it and swallowed the blood clot before gritting his teeth at Ivy. “Do you hate me so much that you want to break my teeth?”
Ivy hung her head low and dared not look at Damion or speak up. She was almost in tears now.
God knew what stupid thing she had done this time. If there were another chance, she would never be so reckless again.
Her first kiss… she hadn’t even tasted it yet before being hit with this intense pain and a bloody taste in her mouth. It was ridiculous!
Ivy didn’t know what to do now. If she ever thought back on this, she might want to punch herself.
“I’m sorry…” Ivy finally apologized, hoping to make Damion understand that she didn’t mean to do it.
Although Ivy was already disgusted with herself, if the situation were reversed, she would have thought it was intentional.
The metallic taste in Damion’s mouth had lessened and the pain had subsided a bit. His voice softened as he reached up to rub Ivy’s head. “Look up and let me see your mouth.”
If she could cause him to look like this, then there was no way she wasn’t hurt too. He needed to check her out just in case.
Ivy didn’t really want to lift her head but since it was Damion asking her, she obediently complied.
Damion used his thumb to pull down on Ivy’s bottom lip and revealed the inside flesh of her mouth.
Sure enough, her lips were even more damaged than his own.
Helpless, Damion asked, “Does it hurt?”
Ivy wrinkled her nose and nodded slightly before saying, “Yes.”
Of course it hurt! It felt like death!
But if she was hurting this badly, then one could only imagine how much pain Damion must be in right now. It made Ivy feel angry at herself for causing such a mess.
Looking at the foolish things she did, Damion said, “Remember the pain and see if you dare to do it again next time.”
Ivy thought for a moment. If he meant whether she dared to kiss him again next time, then…
“I dare,” Ivy said seriously.
Damion couldn’t help but laugh at this girl’s courage. When did she become so brave?
Thinking that Damion didn’t believe her, Ivy repeated herself, “I really do dare.”
Damion remained silent.
It seemed that this girl needed more than just a lesson. She needed to learn from experience.
So Damion narrowed his eyes and looked at Ivy’s lips.
He hadn’t paid much attention before, but now he noticed how pretty they were – their shape and color silently telling him to kiss them.
Damion licked his lips lightly but didn’t act on his impulse. Instead, he leaned down and bit onto Ivy’s lower lip without mercy or hesitation.
Ivy cried out in pain as he bit down hard on her lip. But in the next second, her cries were silenced by their passionate kiss.
Her eyes widened as an electric current surged through her veins from where their lips met.
Luckily, she was sitting on the bed at this moment. If she had been standing, her legs would have probably given out and collapsed to the ground.
Time seemed to stand still in that moment. It was unclear how long it lasted until Damion finally let go of Ivy.
The room was quiet.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
It was Damion’s first time kissing a girl, and he had been caught off guard by Ivy’s sudden attack before he could even confess his feelings to her. He couldn’t quite gather his thoughts at the moment and didn’t know what to do with his hands.
Ivy looked at Damion and murmured softly, “Damion, are we together now?”
To be honest, Damion wasn’t ready for this so soon. He hadn’t prepared himself for what he wanted to say to Ivy about being together in the long run. But it seemed like there was no point in saying anything now that they were already in this situation.
“Yes,” Damion said. “We’re together.”
Ivy couldn’t hide her excitement but still scolded him playfully. “You didn’t even ask me if I wanted to be with you!”
