He held out the bag to me and replied,“We’re going out.”
My mouth dropped open in surprise as I furrowed my brows.
“Where were you? Why didn’t you have dinner?” I asked.
He stared at me momentarily before responding,“I thought you wouldn’t question me about anything.”
I gritted my teeth as he handed me the bag.
“Change,”
I lowered my gaze, opened the bag, and asked,“What is this?” as I found a pair of clothes.“These are men’s clothes,” I pointed out, and he nodded.
“Yes,” he replied, leaning back against the door with his arms crossed over his chest.“Since we’re going out alone, it’s quite unsafe for a woman to be outside at night. So, put these on.”
He made perfect sense to me, and I looked at him.
“Alright, wait outside,” I said, and he frowned.
“I believe you mentioned people might see me standing out there,” he said, making me gulp silently as I looked around. It was just one room, and I couldn’t hide anywhere.
“Alright, turn around. I can’t change in front of you,”
He chuckled softly, shaking his head.
“You had a problem with me watching you change before, so this time, I’ll watch you change with your knowledge,” he said, and my jaw dropped at his audacity.“Change,” he demanded shamelessly.
A deep, chilling shiver ran down my spine when he muttered that word, scaring and arousing me simultaneously.
The memory of him watching me the other day, sitting on the couch, filled my mind, and I couldn’t help but bite my lower lip, looking away.
“Change? In front of you? And you’ll just watch me?” I asked, convinced I had misheard something.
He briefly lowered his gaze to my feet before looking back into my eyes.
“Yes, take off your blouse and skirt and slip into those.” His words were simple, yet they caused a slight throbbing in my core, and I shook my head slowly.
“It’s embarrassing,” I mumbled, and he furrowed his brows.
“Well, you complained I watched you change, so this time, grant me the pleasure of watching you with your knowledge. And it couldn’t be more intimidating than anything else.”
As my palms went cold, I balled them tightly.
“Um, but Kunwar-sa, I’m shy,” I pleaded, and he gritted his teeth slightly.
I didn’t know, but he looked cute even when angry.
“Then you can turn your face away from me,” he said, and I sighed in frustration.
“So, you will not listen?” I asked.
He scratched his jaw with his index finger for a moment and then shook his head.
“Um… you have already accused me of not listening to you. So, I’m standing up to the allegations.”
I gritted my teeth at his stubbornness.
“Why are you even upset?” I asked, finally letting the bag drop to the floor and covering my face.
