- The night whizzed past in a blur of fiery passion.
 - When I woke up in the morning, I ached all over. It felt as though I was going to shatter with the slightest movement. Thus, I couldn’t help cursing Michael out inwardly.
 - Ugh! How crazy did he go last night? Is he a beast?
 - Sitting up, I looked down, only to be greeted by the sight of hickeys scattered across my chest and bruises on my arms. All at once, my anger blazed even more. D*mn it! Did he have to be so vigorous?
 - “So, how was my skills in bed? Are you satisfied?”
 - A low and sensual male voice rang out beside me. Snapping my face to the side, I immediately saw Michael staring at me with a dark expression on his handsome countenance.
 - Panic struck me, and I hastily wrapped the covers around my body. It still felt awkward to have a practical stranger looking at my body even though I was the aggressor who came on to him last night.
 - “Oh, you’re starting to feign innocence before me now, huh? Last night, you were really wild.”
 - Michael stood up and approached me, his voice filled with contempt and disdain. His high and mighty demeanor perturbed me, for it made me feel as though I was a skank.
 - Flipping the covers, I picked my clothes up from the floor and blasely slipped them on in front of him.
 - “Your skills are pretty good, and that part of you is big enough, so I’m very satisfied.”
 - I cast a flippant glance at his crotch.
 - At that, Michael’s expression darkened. As he looked at me, the fury in his gaze was plainly visible.
 - “Are all women nowadays shameless like you? You really have no qualms about speaking your mind, huh?”
 - The moment he finished speaking, I noticed his gaze going to the bed. On the heels of that, his expression turned conflicted. As I followed his gaze, my heart clenched when I glimpsed the smear of blood.
 - During the seven years I dated Justin, I always felt that I should save my precious virginity for our wedding night. However, I discovered the horrible truth before then! As a result, I even stooped so low as to give my first time to a random man! How ludicrous!
 - “It was your first time?”
 - Michael’s gaze shifted back to my face with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
 - “So what? Don’t tell me you’ve got a virginity complex?” I drawled derisively after retracting my gaze, staring right into his conflicted eyes.
 - Michael probably didn’t like my attitude, for his brows knitted together deeply as he regarded me with chagrin.
 - “Well? What do you want? Money?”
 - A long moment passed before he spoke again, his voice still as indifferent as before.
 - “Why? Do women who sleep with you always ask you for money?”
 - Feeling insulted, I glowered at him indignantly. I just wanted revenge against Justin! Do I look as though I’m looking for a quick buck?
 - “We merely had a mutual exchange of favors. I don’t need your money. Also, we’re strangers moving forward.”
 - After saying that, I swiftly left the hotel since I didn’t want to speak with him any further.
 - When I went back to Natalie’s house, she pulled me into the bedroom.
 - “Anna, do you know how worried I’d been when you stayed out the entire night? I called but couldn’t get through to you. Don’t tell me that you and Justin…”
