The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

After Evander finally coughed up that mouthful of blood. Natasha clapped her hands gleefully. “There it is! You finally got it out she cheered

Natasha wiped Evander’s mouth with a handkerchief, then patted his shoulder and said, “You get some sleep. I’ll keep watching”

Evander stared at her in a daze, then it suddenly dawned on him. “Wait… So you were deliberately messing with me?

“Duh! You got hit by a freaking giant wolf. You thought it was just scratches? We had to get that blood out or you’d be screwed,” Natasha replied.

Natasha straightened up, and her expression turned serious. “You’re such an idiot, actually believing that ‘I want your body‘ crap”

With that, she leaned in slightly, putting on a serious face as she asked, “Don’t tell me you’ve never been with a woman before?”

She suddenly leaned in, closing the distance between them until they were mere inches apart

Natasha’s clear eyes were mere

were mere inches away, and Evander could see each lash of her eyelashes, and in her pupils, his flustered reflection.

Beneath her delicate nose, her cherry–red lips resembled perfectly ripe fruit exuding an intoxicating sweetness.

Evander involuntarily gulped, his heart pounding so wildly he felt it might leap right out of his throat

A fine sheen of swear quickly broke out across his skin

“L… I haven’t…” Evander struggled for a long moment, finally managing to choke out those few words.

Flustered, he averted his gaze, not daring to look into Natasha’s eyes again.

He even pressed himself further back against the tree trunk, instinctively trying to put more space between himself and Natasha…

However, his innocent look only fueled Natasha’s mischievous desires. She teased, “Well, well, sweetheart, you’re blushing like crazy!”

She reached out to touch Evander’s face, but he sharply cut her off, his voice urgent and flustered. “Don’t come any closer”

Natasha burst out laughing Pointing at Evander’s face, she teased, “Don’t tell me you’re still a virgin? I thought royals got some hands–on training when they came of age. How come you’re the exception!”

“Natashal” Evander gritted out, his face turning pale with rage.

He ground out the words between clenched teeth, thinking. How could there be such a devilish woman in this world? How could she joke about something as serious as others‘ virginity?

Natasha could tell he wasn’t amused, so she dropped it. “Okay, okay, it’s not like there’s anything wrong with being a virgin. My bad, my bad. Don’t

be mad”

Evander’s chest heaved violently with rage. He wished he could kick Natasha right of this tree.

Only after hearing her apology did the fury in his chest case slightly.

But Natasha, unterly shameless and incorrigible, edged closer once more, as if she wouldn’t be satisfied until he was truly fuming

Natasha tapped Evander’s shoulder lightly and said with a smirk. “Don’t worry, your secret about being a virgin is safe with me. I won’t tell a soul…”

Evander felt his patience wear thin as he watched her lips move incessantly

He fumed inwardly, ‘How could anyone be this damn talkative?

Without a second thought, he silenced Natasha with a kiss.

The noise stopped, and the world fell silent

But Natasha’s eyes flew wide open. Damn, this face is unfairly gorgeous up closer she thought, stunned.

Before she could process what was happening, Evander’s large hand cupped the back of her head.

With a gentle pull, Evander drew Natasha close, and she tumbled right into his arms.

He locked his arm around her slender waist, leaving her no chance to escape.

Natasha had no choice but to tilt her head hack, letting him have his way with her.

Evander only released her when she was gasping for air.

They stared at each other in flustered silence, their breaths coming in short, ragged pants.

How the hell did we end up like this? they both wondered.

“Wh–what just happened? Did we get bewitched or something” Natasha blurted out, her voice a hoarse croak.

Evander, feeling equally flustered, could only manage a low, hesitant “Yeah” from his throat

Then, in unison, they both turned away, deliberately avoiding each other’s eyes.

The moon rose above the treetops, casting a soft glow

Under the cover of night. Natasha saw that the wolves had left.

She said to Evander, “Let’s go. Back to the city”

Just as Evander was about to climb down. Natasha grabbed his arm and said, “You’re still injured. Jumping from this height would only make your wounds worse

Evander shrugged. “It’s okay”

However, Natasha slung his arm over her shoulder and wrapped her arm firmly around his waist

Agnoring his protests, Natasha scooped him up and soared down from the tree.

The moment their feet touched down, a sweet fragrance wafted through the air.

“That smells so good. What is it?” Natasha exclaimed.

She craned her neck to sniff the air, only for Evander to say abruptly, “It’s the scent of nutmeg blossoms”

Natasha asked, “What’s up with these flowers?”

Evander hesitated, avoiding a reply. “Hello” Natasha pressed. “Speak up.”

Natasha’s relentless questioning was starting to give Evander a splitting headache.

He frowned and reluctantly admitted, “These flowers have an aphrodisiac effect. We just fell under its

rits influence.”

Natasha also grew embarrassed, then deliberately put on an air of nonchalance as she patted his shoulder. “An accident,” she said. “Just an accident. Don’t dwell on it.”

‘So what?” Natasha thought! was just a couple of kisses. It’s not like we haven’t done that before. Think of it like gening nipped by the same dog

iwice

Evander was speechless.

He thought to himself, I knew it. Natasha’s unterly heartless. Not dwelling on it? How can she even say that so casually?

Evander stalked off toward the edge of the woods, his face grim. Seeing him go without a word, Natasha hurried after him.

Just as Natasha was about to speak, Evander’s low voice cut through the silence, “Don’t say anything”

Nausha was about to relor “You

“Keep quiet unless you want the wolves to come back,” Evander said.

Natasha could only shut her mouth, but she couldn’t help thinking, ‘Something about that just didn’t sound right.
