The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Natalie’s POV

I lazily tossed and turned in bed, eventually opening my eyes to check the time. Seeing a black bed sheet covering my body made me tense up and become fully awake-I had never chosen black for my room. I stared at the unfamiliar bedroom for a moment before realizing it was Rafael’s apartment. But why am I here?

I took off the bed cover and discovered that I was wearing only my underwear. A blush spreaded across my skin. I couldn’t remember much, except that Raf and I had gotten into his car. Did he take off my dress?

I couldn’t believe that Raf might have done that! Did he really take off my dress?

I remembered being at the spa yesterday when Rebecca had mocked me, saying, “After this extreme care, you’re supposed to go straight to your boyfriend’s bed.”

She was trying to make fun of me because I refused to be in a sexual relationship, even a temporary one.

“You’re missing out on a lot of fun,” Fillo assured me.

But I always dreamed of saving myself for the man who would be my husband. I don’t consider sex to be merely physical lust; rather, it is a profound bond between two people through which their love for each other is expressed.

A memory of last night’s kiss crossed my mind. I touched my lips with trembling fingers. It felt like a dream! Did it really happen? The small wound on my lower lip proved that it did.

Why did he kiss me? And why did I respond and kiss him back?

I shook my head and grabbed my dress, which was folded on the edge of the bed, trying to avoid dwelling on last night any further.

Would I ever forget that kiss? I doubted it. It was etched into my mind and heart. I had never been kissed before-it was literally my first kiss. I felt it deeply in my soul.

I stared at the elegant dress in my hands. I shouldn’t have worn it. I did so under the stubborn insistence of Aunt Tobi. When I got back home after my spa session, I told her I had a date with Daniel. She happily surfed online stores and bought me that revealing dress!

I placed the dress back on the edge of the bed and removed my underwear. Wrapping my body in a large towel I found in the bathroom suite, I noticed the smooth and shiny skin of my body after the scrape, wax, and the spa treatments.

I opened the door and glanced around, looking for Raf. I spotted him sleeping on the sofa.

“What a gentleman,” I smirked to myself.

I tiptoed to the laundry room and placed my underwear in the washing machine, which also had a dryer.

I knew I was running late for work, and Raf was probably late too, but I still wanted to take a shower before waking him up.

I stood before the couch where Raf was soundly sleeping. He seemed peaceful. I decided to take a quick swim in the pool. Ten minutes wouldn’t hurt.

I moved my hand in the air before his face and studied his features for a moment, ensuring he was deeply asleep. I didn’t want him to wake up and catch me naked in his swimming pool.

I made my way to the very large balcony, which boasted a swimming pool and offered breathtaking views of the city from above.

I glanced back at the balcony door, then removed the towel and placed it next to the pool. With a quick breath, I dove into the water. It felt refreshingly cool against my skin.

I swam in peaceful bliss, enjoying the freshness of the water, completely unaware of the dark eyes that were watching me from afar.

“Aren’t you going to work?” A masculine voice startled me, causing a shiver of shock to run through me. Instantly, I covered my boobs with my hands and screamed, “Go away!”

He snorted, “Why? You’re the one secretly swimming in MY POOL.”

“Hooligan, you were awake the whole time, weren’t you?!” I snapped back.

“Your seductive scent woke me up,” he teased, then picked up the towel and added, “And you’ll have to pay for the privilege. I don’t offer services for free!”

“Just leave the towel where it is and go back inside. I’ll get out,” I stammered angrily through gritted teeth.

“We need to talk about last night first. Didn’t I ask you to stay away from men?” he exclaimed, raising an eyebrow.

“Give me that damn towel first!” I furiously shouted.

He smirked, tossed the towel aside, and winked. “If you want to get out, then do it. I can wait all day long,” he taunted.

What the hell! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He had never paid me any attention before, and now he wanted me to walk out naked in front of him!

He must have lost his mind.

How do I get myself out of this predicament?

“I won’t do that even if I freeze to death here!”

I’ve never seen this side of his personality before. I’m completely shocked. I’ve decided not to give him the chance to intimidate me.

“You bastard, this is not being a gentleman! Be a man and give me the damn towel,” I exclaimed, my voice firm with determination.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

He laughed in an evil way and said, “To be honest, I’m curious to see your body!”

I gasped, wide-eyed. He added calmly, “By the way, if your desires are so strong that you can’t keep our deal for just six months, I can fulfill all your wishes in bed during that time. But it will be exclusively with me. Do you understand?”

“Damn you, you bastard!” I mumbled under my breath.

He placed his finger to his lips, gesturing for silence, and threatened, “If you won’t obey me, I’ll punish you just like I did last night in the restaurant. Have you forgotten? I can make you remember, though.”

“In your dreams to obey you!” I retorted, feeling incredibly uncomfortable discussing this while standing here completely naked.

A pained expression crossed his face, “You’re the one who dressed and acted like a whore last night, Natalie. So you will got what the whore got,” he sneered.

He removed his shirt and slacks, standing there in just his boxer shorts.

I glared at his muscular, tall, hairy legs and panicked, blurting out, “What are you doing, you crazy!?”

He looked at me arrogantly and mockingly replied, “I’ll teach you how to obey!”

He jumped into the pool and swam straight toward me, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

Like a predator stalking its prey, he swam towards me. I couldn’t believe that the usually cold and indifferent Rafael was acting like this. What the hell happened to his conscience and pride?

I began to swim, trying to escape the pool despite my nakedness. He pursued me like a wild shark. I swam frantically, not so much afraid as embarrassed, while he swam leisurely, the joy evident on his handsome, smirking face.

When I finally reached the edge of the pool, in the blink of an eye, he was behind me, holding my waist firmly.

Then, he pulled me under the water with him, hugging me tightly, and brought me back to the surface of the water with him.

I screamed in horror, but my screams were muffled by his mouth in a cruel kiss. His tongue relentlessly explored inside my mouth.

He paused for a moment, staring into my eyes, and asked, “Did I hurt you? May I continue?”

He held my waist with one hand, while the other squeezed my buttocks. A shiver ran down my spine. His kisses trailed from my ear down to my neck, then further down to my breasts. I felt as if he continued, I would collapse at any second.

When I didn’t reply, he added, “I promise you won’t regret it or need any other man!”

A hint of realization hit me. Did he think I was climbing into any man’s bed I met?

A wave of rage boiled inside me, followed by a deep sense of dejection. I had hoped he finally felt something for me, but instead, he seemed to view me as easy prey. A tight grip tightened around my heart, and my eyes filled with unshed tears.

I had to stop him now, or I would find myself begging him to have me. Clenching my fists, I gathered every ounce of my resolve and whispered in a sad tone, “Stop, please! I’m not willing!”

Once I said that, he froze, his gaze piercing into me as if searching for a reason. I could see the silent plea in his eyes, even as I felt his hardened body pressing against my sensitive skin.

He desired me intensely, and that realization gave me a sense of power over him!

I was a virgin and scared, while he seemed experienced and impulsive.

He looked down at my body, his eyes filled with strong lust, and whispered, “Run, Natalie! Run and get out of here, or I won’t be responsible for what I’m going to do to you!”

I was literally about to run when he let go of me, but suddenly we heard a male voice behind us. We froze in shock!

Raf wrapped his large, muscular arms around me, shielding me with his body. I felt like a little puppy seeking refuge in the embrace of a protective, albeit frightening, monster.
