Chapter 258 258 Misunderstanding
The memory of their intimate encounter played back in her mind like a vivid movie, and she couldn\'t help but blush at the recollection.
Stacy\'s face was flushed with embarrassment as she processed the recent events. It was as if she had watched her own actions unfold like a spectator in another person\'s body. Her other self had taken over, and she couldn\'t prevent her actions or control her desires.
Nexus, seeing Stacy\'s discomfort, hurriedly spoke, "Stacy, I am so sorry about the... intimacy." He stammered slightly, his concern for her evident in his voice. "I promise, I didn\'t mean for it to happen. It was the only way to save you."
Stacy\'s face turned even redder, but her inner self was elated by the memory of their passionate encounter. She remained silent, her emotions a complex swirl of embarrassment, desire, and a newfound connection with Nexus.
Misinterpreting her silence, Nexus continued to apologize, his words filled with sincerity and reassurance. "I\'ll keep it a secret forever," he promised, his voice unwavering. "I would never want to tarnish your reputation or cause you any harm."
Stacy\'s internal conflict intensified. On one hand, she understood Nexus\'s intentions and appreciated his concern for her reputation. On the other, she was thrilled by the intimate connection they had formed.
However, because of her silence, Nexus is worried that she is still mad at what happened. Nexus couldn\'t help himself but to continued apologizing.
"She must still be mad" he thought to himself.
He thought that perhaps Stacy was still upset or angry about what had happened, and he wanted to make sure she understood his intentions.
He kept repeating, "I\'m really sorry, Stacy. I never meant for this to happen. I promise I\'ll keep it a secret."
Stacy, on the other hand, remained silent. Her cheeks still bore the flush of embarrassment, but there was something more.
Nexus\'s constant apologies made it seem like he wasn\'t happy about their intimate encounter. It wasn\'t that she wanted him to be ecstatic about it, but his repeated apologies were starting to make her feel self-conscious.
In her silence, Stacy\'s mind raced with her own thoughts. She couldn\'t help but wonder if Nexus regretted what had transpired between them.
Did he find their encounter distasteful? As much as she knew that they had no control over the situation and had acted to save her, his constant apologies were casting a shadow of doubt over the intimacy they had shared.
Stacy\'s frown deepened as she contemplated Nexus\'s feelings. She knew he was a kind and considerate person, which only added to her confusion.
Nexus\'s voice filled the air, almost as persistent as his concern, as he continued to apologize. "Stacy, I\'m really, truly sorry. I never intended for this to happen, and I understand if you\'re angry or upset."
His apologies seemed to suggest that he wasn\'t pleased with their actions, and she began to feel like he might be frustrated with the situation. The more Nexus apologized, the more it felt like he was unhappy with the intimacy they had shared.
Stacy\'s frown deepened, her frustration growing.
Misunderstandings have a way of taking root and growing, and this one was no exception. In his earnest attempts to make amends, Nexus had inadvertently created a chasm of misunderstanding between them. Stacy believed that Nexus was upset with their shared intimacy and this newfound tension led to an argument.
With a heavy sigh, Nexus continued to speak up, his voice tinged with frustration, "Stacy, I understand that you might be mad at me, but I need you to know that I didn\'t do it because I wanted to. I did it to save you, to keep you safe."
Stacy turned to him, her brow furrowing. "Then why are you apologizing so much? It sounds like you\'re saying it was a terrible mistake."
Nexus shook his head, "No, no, that\'s not what I meant. It\'s just... I didn\'t want you to think I took advantage of the situation. You mean a lot to me, and I didn\'t want you to feel like I disrespected you."
Stacy\'s frustration deepened. "So, you\'re saying that you did it out of duty, not because you wanted to? Is that what you\'re telling me?"
Nexus was caught off guard by her sharp tone. He tried to clarify, "I didn\'t mean it that way, Stacy. I wanted to protect you, and I also felt... drawn to you. But I didn\'t want to cross any boundaries."
Stacy, still believing that Nexus regretted their intimate encounter, voiced her concerns with anger. "Master Ni Yang, it\'s clear you\'re frustrated with what happened. Why can\'t you just admit it?"
Nexus was growing equally frustrated, not understanding why Stacy couldn\'t see the truth. "Stacy, I\'m not frustrated with what happened! It\'s quite the opposite. I care about you a lot."
But before Nexus could continue, Stacy\'s anger turned into a resolute pout. Her lips were pursed in a defiant manner, and her eyes sparkled with determination. She couldn\'t accept that Nexus might be frustrated. He had to prove it to her, and she made her point clear by crossing her arms over her chest.
Nexus, confused by her demeanor, decided to put an end to the misunderstandings once and for all. He stepped closer to Stacy, his heart pounding, and reached out to cup her cheek. Then, without a word, he kissed her, fervently and with all the emotions that had built up during their argument.
Stacy was taken aback at first, but soon she melted into the kiss, realizing the depth of his feelings. As their lips locked, they felt the intensity of their connection, an unspoken understanding that transcended words. The anger and frustration they had felt moments ago were replaced with a passionate, fiery desire for each other.
When they finally pulled away, their faces were flushed, and their eyes locked in a shared moment of realization.
Nexus spoke softly, his voice filled with love and longing, "Stacy, I\'m not frustrated with you. I\'m falling for you, and I don\'t want anything to come between us."
Stacy\'s eyes glistened with emotion, her anger dissipating. "Ni Yang, I... I didn\'t know. I thought you didn\'t care about what happened."
Nexus gently caressed her cheek, his thumb brushing against her skin. "Stacy, it meant a lot to me. But there\'s something I need to explain."
Stacy looked at him with curiosity, her heart still racing from their passionate kiss. "Explain what?"
Nexus\'s gaze fell to the intricate pattern below Stacy\'s navel, and he traced it with his fingers. "This pattern is a symbol, a mark that you belong to me now."
Stacy\'s eyes widened, her hand instinctively moving to her lower abdomen as she realized the significance of the mark. "What do you mean?"
Nexus took a deep breath and began to explain, "It means that you are now mine, Stacy. Only I can have you. You belong to me, and I belong to you."
