Chapter 817 A Small Punishment
"Anthony, Anthony? Hurry up and bring it to me."
Juniper urged.
A small head peeked out from behind the door, face flushed red.
Anthony's face was just as red.
For someone as ascetic as him, encountering a woman he liked made him feel just like any other man, desires surging.
But that's normal, right?
Desire and love are usually inseparable. For him, having desire for a woman meant he loved her.
"Come out and put it on," Anthony said with a mischievous smile.
"Are you kidding me? I'm naked, how can I come out?" Juniper's face was flushed, her heart racing.
"No worries, I've already seen it anyway."
Unfortunately, he hadn't seen clearly that night, and tonight he really wanted to take a good, clear look at her.
"Anthony!" Juniper stomped her foot, but her foot slipped.
One leg splayed out, she almost did a split.
"Juniper!" Anthony rushed into the bathroom. She was sitting on the floor, her expression pained.
"Juniper, are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?" Anthony's heart ached, feeling like it was being twisted.
"It hurts so much. I think I might have broken my leg..."
"I'll take you to the hospital."
"I don't need your help! You jerk, if it weren't for you, my leg wouldn't be broken. Are you satisfied now?"
"I'm sorry," Anthony panicked. "I shouldn't have joked with you. I was wrong. Let's go to the hospital first."
"Get lost! I don't need you!"
"I'm sorry," Anthony kept apologizing.
"What's the use of saying sorry now? What if I end up crippled? Will you take responsibility?"
"I will!" Anthony said without hesitation.
Juniper didn't believe him. "It's easy to say. If I really end up crippled, you won't care about me."
"No, I will never abandon you," Anthony vowed. "Whether you're crippled, disfigured, or in a vegetative state, I will never abandon you."
"You're the one who'll end up in a vegetative state," Juniper snapped. "Are you cursing me?"
"That's not what I meant, I just..."
"Hurry up and give me my clothes."
Juniper hurriedly put them on.
"You can't go to the hospital dressed like that," Anthony said quickly. If the doctor saw her like this, he'd go crazy.
"Who said I was going to the hospital?"
"But your leg..."
"I was lying," Juniper rolled her eyes at him. "Who told you to mess with me?"
"Lying to me?" Anthony took a deep breath. "How could you lie about something like that? Don't scare me on purpose."
"Scared now? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll keep messing with me." Juniper rolled her eyes again. "Will you dare to mess with me again?"
Anthony was both amused and exasperated. This mischievous girl really scared him, leaving him with no way to deal with her.
"No, I won't. I was wrong."
"See? I told you, I always bully others, not the other way around."
"Yes, yes, you're right. But next time, don't scare me with your body, okay? I was really scared just now." Anthony shook his head, still shaken.
Seeing that he was genuinely scared, Juniper relented. "Alright, alright. Since you're sincerely apologizing, I'll forgive you this time. But if it happens again, I'll use a whip."
A whip.
Anthony was actually quite excited at the thought.
A tight black leather outfit, a whip-wielding dominatrix... just thinking about it...
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? Don't think about those things," Juniper snapped. She had just forgiven him, and he was already going too far.
"Sorry, I can't help it around you." Anthony's gaze fell on her chest, his breathing growing heavier.
"Anthony," Juniper quickly covered herself. Being stared at like that was really embarrassing.
"Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. I used to be so ascetic, unaffected by temptation. But with you, I feel like... like someone who's never been with a woman... always easily aroused. It's hard for me to control myself. You've completely bewitched me."
Hearing this, Juniper felt a bit vain.
It proved she was attractive.
But she didn't let him off easily. "I don't want to hear it..."
Anthony couldn't help but laugh, raising his hand to ruffle her hair. "You little rascal."
Juniper tilted her head up, asking playfully, "Do you like it?"
"No."
"Hmm?" Juniper was about to get angry...
"Not just like, I love it, love it to death."
This guy... Juniper was almost overwhelmed by his sweet words. "You're so annoying."
Anthony felt the fire within him stirring again. Every time she said "annoying," it had a particularly sweet, coquettish tone, unique to girls.
He was completely under her control, and he didn't mind at all.
Anthony thought, if they got married, he'd definitely be a henpecked husband.
"Anthony, aren't you going to help me up?" Juniper extended her delicate hand, looking as arrogant as a queen.
Anthony smiled and helped her up.
Juniper went out and started her skincare routine.
Watching her walk around in a sexy black lace dress, Anthony couldn't help but feel restless.
The air seemed to be filled with a warm, ambiguous current, and the beast within him was growing, eager to break free.
This was more than just torture; it was pure agony.
That night, he had drunk too much. Though it was a bit hazy, he felt an ultimate pleasure at the last moment, as if he was being pushed into heaven by a fierce tide.
Every time he thought about it, his blood raced, surging wildly.
Anthony couldn't help but lick his lips, his throat tightening, his pupils dilating.
Juniper felt the burning gaze from behind. Anthony was definitely drooling over her beauty.
Feeling playful, Juniper didn't feel shy at all. Instead, she had a mischievous idea to "torture" him, smiling wickedly.
Now was the time for real "revenge"!
She turned off the main light, leaving only a wall lamp. The soft yellow light made the room even more seductive, practically criminal.
She slowly applied toner and face cream. After finishing her face, she stood up slowly.
Pouring some body lotion into her palm, she placed one long leg on the table, bending down slowly, applying the lotion in a teasing manner up her leg.
Her long hair cascaded down, framing her face. Her lips were red, her expression indescribably alluring.
Her teeth lightly bit her lip.
Casually, she glanced at Anthony, her eyes filled with soft, watery affection.
It was as if she was calling to him, calling to the beast within him.
