Sylvia's POV:
Desire surged through my veins as I felt his soft, cold lips.His hot breath felt like the autumnal breeze,
making my skin break with goosebumps.
Countless fireworks exploded in my mind at the same time.
Our lips were pressed together for only a few seconds, but it seemed like several centuries, As I
realized what was going on, I pushed Rufus away but was too flustered to remember that I was still
standing on his feet.
I lost my balance and fell to the floor.
"Sylvia!"
Rufus reached out his hand to help me up. He still looked calm, and for a moment, I thought the kiss
was just a mere illusion.
"I can do it myself!"I shouted and quickly got up from the floor, trying my best to hide my
embarrassment.
However, Rufus stepped forward and looked at me.
"I've never danced with anyone else before.You're my first dancing partner."
His explanation made my face burn even more.
The dim lights softened Rufus's sharp features, making him look warm and harmless.
My soul was screaming to go with the man in front of me.
"They are about to close the dorm." I took a few steps back.
"… I'm leaving now!"
With that, I ran back to the dorm as fast as I could, which startled Flora, who was applying a facial
mask.
"Sylvia, what's wrong with you? Why are you running around when your leg is still injured?"
Thinking that someone was chasing after me, Flora peeped out of the door to see who it was.I quickly
closed the door.I sat on the edge of my bed, holding my chest.I could not calm down.
My heart was crashing in its ribcage.
I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss, "Sylvia, is your leg okay?"
Flora walked up to me and asked concernedly.
"What?"
When I came to my senses, I realized my calf was still swollen.My face flushed with embarrassment as
I moved it.I was too flustered that I forgot about the injury.
"I thought I'd be late, so I ran back."
Flora didn't bother questioning me.
I turned off the lights and slumped on the bed, tossing and turning.I couldn't sleep because I was
thinking about Rufus.I buried my head in the pillow.
The short kiss made me shy and restless.
'Why didn't Rufus react? He should have at least panicked!' I turned over and looked at the ceiling,
feeling dejected.
His lips were unexpectedly soft.I could still feel them against mine.My face was burning again.My body
lost control every time he was around me.
I covered myself with the quilt and tried to think of anything other than Rufus.
"My dear, how about you let me out next time? I also want to taste Omar.I mean it! I want to see him
burn with desire."
Yana became excited again as if she wanted to rip off Rufus's clothes right away.
'Burning with desire?' I couldn't help but recall the sternness on Rufus's face when he taught me how to
dance.
The way his Adam's apple bobbed up and down when he spoke made him look sexy as hell.
"Ah! Rufus's abstinent look really turns me on.I want to whip him!" Yana cackled like a maniac.
"Stop talking, Yana! I'm going to sleep!"
To make sure Yana stopped talking nonsense, I had to force myself to fall asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I realized the swelling on my leg had subsided.I didn't know if it was
because of my good physique as a she-wolf, or perhaps Rufus had massaged my bruises.I shook my
head fiercely, willing not to think about him.
After taking a shower and getting ready, Flora and I went to practice.
As a tutor, Blair was strict but also caring.
After making sure my leg was okay, he agreed to let me take part in running with weights.
Everyone could choose a weight of their choice, starting from ten pounds.
I was so impulsive that I picked the fifty-pound block and sprinted out.I was so excited now because
Rufus was dancing in my mind.
His every spin and move made my adrenaline soar.
Yana also screamed in my mind.
She was too excited.
After the running, I finally, slowed down, gasping for breath.I felt I could have run a few more laps.
"Oh my God, Sylvia! What's got into you?" Harry exclaimed breathlessly.
"She has been excited since last night."
Flora also came over and looked at me like I were a lunatic.
"You two are lazy.We should work hard!" I said, pretending to be serious.
Harry and Flora believed my words.
Harry added ten more pounds to his existing weight but couldn't stand up this time.
I sat aside and watched them bickering as usual as I checked my watch from time to time, hoping for
time to pass faster.I couldn't wait to see Rufus in the evening.
