“Grace, this is my first time being in such a place.”

I turned around and tried to find Grace in the crowd.

However, she had disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye.

Bright lights flashed in my face, and the fast-paced music made my head spin.

I scanned the place and saw many tall guys in the middle of the dance floor. They were all over six feet tall. I could even see their abs under their white shirts.

The air was thick with the scent of men’s cologne.

I was getting dizzy.

I tried to copy what the surrounding people were doing, but I only managed to move awkwardly to the beat.

The dress that Grace had picked for me worked. Soon, I noticed people on the dance floor moving closer to me.

I tensed up when they brushed against me.

Before long, a bold guy stepped forth, and I looked up at him.

He had messy blonde hair and black obsidian earrings. He looked like a street thug.

He tapped me on the shoulder and theatrically adjusted his gold-framed glasses.

“Hey, beautiful. Are you alone?

“That’s my VIP booth over there. Want to join me for a drink?”

A few people with colorful hair were standing behind him. They looked like his lackeys.

I just glanced at them and turned to walk away.

However, they blocked my path.

“We’re not done talking yet. Why the rush?”

My frigid attitude seemed to upset their leader. He spat on the ground as he became furious.

He jabbed my shoulder and pushed me into a corner.

“Why are you pretending to be innocent when we’re in a place like this?”

Right then, the guy with blonde hair raised his hand to hit me.

Before I knew it, I felt someone pull me into their arms.

I looked up in a daze and saw a man with a strong jawline.

“My girlfriend’s with me. Got a problem?”

The blonde-haired man scoffed and left with his lackeys.

“T-Thank you...”

I pulled away from the man’s arms and finally saw his face.

I could not believe how handsome he was; it was almost surreal.

I saw his name tag, which said, [Ryan Shaw.]

Even his name sounded great.

The man smiled gently. He looked like a gentleman and seemed completely out of place there.

“No worries.

“I work here. Instead of thanking me, why don’t you book me for the night?”

All of a sudden, he leaned in. He grabbed a strand of my hair that was hanging over my shoulder and gently sniffed it.

Book him for a night? What did that mean?

Since he had just saved me, I could not say no to doing him a small favor. So, I nodded and agreed to his request.

His smile broadened. Still playing with my hair, he asked, “Shall we go to the bathroom?”

The bathroom? I was puzzled.

Just then, the strap on my dress slid off and exposed my shoulder.

The buttons on my chest were barely holding on and ready to pop off.

“Okay.”

I blushed as I grabbed his wrist and quickly ran toward the bathroom.

The music on the dance floor was loud and intense, while the bathroom was completely empty.

I shut the door, but Ryan slipped in with me.

“Wow, I didn’t know you were this eager.”

He smiled sweetly as he picked me up and set me on the sink.

“Ah! What are you doing, Ryan?”

I gasped as he touched my face.

We were so close that I could feel his breath on my cheek.

“Obviously… I’m going to… do you!”

    Ryan chuckled softly as his hand moved from my face to my lips.His fingers brushed across my face and made my heart race.For a moment, the atmosphere was ambiguous.“Ryan, stop playing around. Let go of me!”“Miss, are you pretending to be clueless? Since we’re here, we might as well do something fun.”Before I could respond, Ryan leaned in and kissed me.His lips were soft, sweet, and warm against mine.I was not a naive girl, so I knew what was happening. This was not my first kiss either. But somehow, Ryan’s kiss felt completely different.It was nothing like Austin’s.Austin always acted confident and proud. He would bite and gnaw my lips whenever he kissed me.He loved showing me off, and he would parade me in front of others like I was a trophy.It always felt like he was deliberately trying to humiliate me.On top of that, he was sloppy and constantly in a disheveled state.Meanwhile, Ryan was a completely different kind of man. He looked incredibly attractive, li

    After I stepped out of the bathroom, I ran into a couple making out right at the door.The woman was moaning and mumbling. She had a bottle in her hand and seemed completely drunk. She was barely aware of what she was doing.Then, out of nowhere, she took the lead. She pushed the guy against the wall and started kissing him.“You’re so good-looking, hehe. I really lucked out tonight.”Her voice made me stop in my tracks. I stared at her face and realized that it was Grace, my dormmate!The scene was too much for me to handle. I ran back to the dance floor and waited for her to finish.A few guys came up to flirt with me, but I turned them all down. Grace did not come back until almost morning.She reeked of alcohol and flopped onto me like a pile of mush.“You drank too much.”I pulled the bottle out of her hand and dragged her out of the nightclub, like I was hauling a sack of sand.She was probably too drunk to remember my breakup.She poked my face. “So, how did it go ton

    I seemed to possess a face that implied that I was a playa. In reality, this was my first time at a mixer, and I had no clue what to do.Grace pulled me into the lobby, and I realized that I had not even washed my face. I looked utterly unkempt.Forget about catching a guy’s eye, even women would avoid me.Grace sighed and handed me a paper bag.“Good thing I was prepared for this.“Go ahead and change in the bathroom. There’s some makeup in there too. Don’t make me look bad, okay?”I nodded reluctantly and took the bag. I knew exactly what Grace was up to. After last night, I could tell that she would not give me any decent clothes to wear.Despite that, I never thought this ragged piece of cloth could be considered clothing.I put the dress on, and it seemed custom-made for me. It hugged every curve and made my figure appear more alluring.One wrong move, and the deep V-neck would slip. I would end up exposing myself to everyone.Even so, I had to admit that it did look goo

    Austin panicked for a moment. He did not expect anyone else to be there. The person outside seized the opportunity and slipped in.It was Ryan. I recognized him immediately from his devilishly handsome face.He was wearing black pants and a white shirt today. He looked fresh and clean, unlike the last time I saw him at the nightclub.He seemed like an innocent and well-behaved boy.Austin let go of my hair and approached Ryan with his hands in his pockets. He was half a head shorter than Ryan.Austin tilted his head slightly and jabbed his finger into Ryan’s chest a couple of times. “Judging by your looks, you’re a freshman, aren’t you?” he said.“Don’t you understand the rules here?“I suggest you stay out of this. Go do your thing.”The mixer was hosted by two colleges. Only students from these two colleges attended the event.I could not help but look up and study Ryan’s face. I could tell that he was young, but I never expected him to still be a freshman.Although Ryan co

    Ryan had to recuperate in the hospital for a while.I felt bad, so I volunteered to take care of him.I brought him three meals a day and pampered him like a prince.“Miss, your cooking’s the best.“Has anyone else tried your food?”After spending a few days together, I realized that Ryan was clingier than I had expected. He would often say strange things.Knowing that he was waiting for me at the hospital made me even more motivated to cook for him.On my way there one day, the weather suddenly changed. The clear sky turned gloomy, and before I knew it, it had started to drizzle.I was too far from my dorm to get an umbrella. Since I was almost at the hospital, I decided that getting a little wet would not be a big deal.I held his food close and ran to the hospital.When I got there, Ryan was sitting on his bed. He was staring blankly out the window, like he was lost in thought.When he heard the door open, his eyes lit up as he slowly turned to me.“You’re here.”I no

    The alley was dark, and only a few people ever came through.Austin and his two lackeys surrounded me. They all smiled at me in a lewd and unsettling way. Austin stopped right in front of me and sniffed my neck before he licked it.“We’ve been together for so long, but I’ve never gotten to taste you.“How far have you and that Ryan guy gone? Has he ever done this to you?”The stench coming off him was revolting, and it made my stomach churn.I could not stop trembling as panic set in.“Ryan would never force himself on me like you do.”Austin slammed his fist into the wall and grabbed my chin roughly. He also had a wild and unhinged look on his face. He had seemingly gone mad.“Yeah, I’m not like him. Are you just realizing that now?”I must have said something triggering because he got even angrier.He started tearing my clothes apart and kissing my neck.Every time he touched me, I felt incredibly disgusted.When he saw that I was not cooperating, he slapped me across

My mother made me drink milk all the time as a kid. As such, my skin became snow-white and smooth. It almost glowed under the sun, like polished marble. My bosom, especially, resembled a couple of soft and sweet melons.“Hey, Melon. Those are some serious curves.”A few of my friends gathered around to tease me.“I wish I had such assets too.”With them staring at me, I could only laugh awkwardly.These curves had caused me more trouble than I would have liked.No matter how innocent or cute my clothes were, they always looked off. The way my bosom fit into them made me look too sensual and tacky.I sighed and stared at my reflection before I reluctantly took my dress off.Perhaps I was just meant to have a seductive style.Suddenly, I heard a loud noise at the door.It was my boyf
