Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 192: You keep looking away, Jo-Pil

We got to the gazebo and there, he placed me down to sit on one of the chairs. I actually thought he couldn’t put me down and keep carrying me, giving one excuse or the other but he actually put me down.

Should I interpret this as him not being desperate to move a step further or was he being cautious for a reason?

’I might just be the one reading a lot of meaning into his actions.’ I thought. ’We haven’t even had our first kiss so while he might be tempted to go a step further with me, he’s cautious because of the boundaries I set.’

In other words, I had to be the one to cross that line if I wanted to go further with him.

"Hm," I twisted my lips in contemplation. Let’s not go that far, okay?

There must be a reason why he’s so very cautious despite getting so many signs from me.

He probably doesn’t trust himself when it comes to handling me.

So, let’s not push it.

Jin-Yeok watched me as I battled with my thoughts, his lips curled up and he smirked. He looked like he was enjoying the sight and regarded my effort as cute.

"What’s on your mind, Jo-Pil?" He asked, and I turned to him. "Is there something I can help you with? You seem troubled."

"Well, not exactly." I said to him, my eyes trailing lightly over him and then back to the ground. For some reason, I couldn’t maintain eye contact and felt a bit awkward.

Maybe it was because I was entertaining a bit of dirty thoughts in my mind regarding this man and fantasizing about his beautiful voice bringing me to ecstasy before his hands did.

"Are you sure?" He asked, getting Jo from his chair, the tip of his fingers tracing the edge of the small round table as he approached me. "I told you to always be honest with me, and I want to believe you’re always doing your best, but that felt like a blatant lie just now." He said and stood right in front of me.

He placed one hand on the top of my chair and the other stayed on the table, cornering me if there was no space to run to but there was space to my left.

I just... Couldn’t back away and watched his emerald eyes linger on me, screaming softly how much he wanted to see what was beneath my clothes.

I gulped.

Yeah, I was probably reading too much meaning into it. I have such a dirty mind. Who knew?

"What is it?" Jin-Yeok asked, softly. "Is it something you can’t bring yourself to tell me? Is there a catch?" He slowly lowered his head till his lips reached my ear. "Do I have to do something to hear your thoughts?" He blew on my ear and I shuddered.

My entire body was suddenly filled with a rush of adrenaline.

I closed my ears immediately and turned my head away, biting my lips.

No matter how I looked at it, I would lose to this man in a battle of endurance.

He watched my reaction and smirked. But then he stood behind me and dropped his head on my shoulder.

"You keep looking away, Jo-Pil." He said and I flinched. "It’s as if you don’t want to look at me. That’s why I think you’ve got something on your mind that you’re hiding. But instead of clarifying it, you keep looking away. That hurts me."

"I..." I clenched my fists. "I don’t mean to but I..." I gulped. "I just can’t disclose my thoughts because they’re somewhat inappropriate." I suddenly ended up confessing to his doubt.

"Hm? Inappropriate? As how?"

I gulped once more.

My throat felt itchy, and my skin became extra sensitive, putting up with his little movements and his fine, long fingers that roamed around my hands.

He was clearly trying to seduce me.

That soft voice going straight to my innocent ear, that gesture, all of it, he was trying to make me confess wanting to have an intimate session with him, so it wouldn’t be like he initiated it, but wasn’t this already him initiating him?

Gosh, I’m so vexed that I can’t even put up a fight in front of such provocation.

I’m sure I would’ve held my ground if it had been someone else trying to seduce me.

(As if.)

But I just can’t win against Jin-Yeok.

Should I just close my eyes and admit it? It won’t hurt, right? It would just be me casting away the little pride I have left in exchange for a little sexual pleasure?

No, that makes me sound so low. What am I even doing?

My mind was in a mess.

And the one enjoying this sight the most was the one whose eyes were looking so closely and deeply into mine that he could read the kind of thoughts I was having.

There’s that thing called body language, right?

Jin-Yeok just so happened to know how to read it. Not perfectly but he was good enough.

The one who had a perfect body language reading was... Ugh, I don’t even want to admit it but it’s true... Sun Seo-Jun.

He was so great at reading body language.

Anyway, back to the predicament in front of me. Or should I say, behind me since he was standing behind me with his head on my shoulder.

Ah, I got it.

I should play with my words a bit and try to catch him. Somehow, I feel I’ll lose if I take action first so I didn’t want to go down without a fight.

"Master," I called with a soft tone, a light blush on my cheeks and my lips pouted softly and cutely. "The truth is," Yes, I was getting there. "The way you look at me makes me think there’s something you want from me. And since I don’t know what it is, I can’t help but imagine different things based on what I feel from your gaze and..." I rolled my eyes to meet his and added a little more sugar as I said. "I don’t mind if you do any of those ’inappropriate’ things with me. I mean it."
