Chapter 155
"...And what exactly is the problem? You know there’s nothing wrong with how I function."
After what felt like a long silence—though it hadn’t even been a full minute—Ashley finally spoke. He didn’t bother wasting time with lies like, “How would you know?” or “That’s not true.” The source was too obvious.
"That’s exactly why it’s strange."
Ariel didn’t hesitate as she laid out the foundation of her thoughts.
"Like you said, when you were dating me, you didn’t hold back. If I’d been as timid as Koi, you wouldn’t have even dated me in the first place, right? You always liked girls who were cool in every way. Girls like me."
She wasn’t wrong. No, she was spot on. Before Ashley fell for Koi, Ariel had been his ideal partner. She always maintained the perfect distance, had the charisma to lead the cheer squad, and was confident, athletic, academically excellent, stunningly beautiful—with legs to die for.
In other words, Ariel had been the perfect girlfriend. Ashley had never once felt dissatisfied with her, and he genuinely liked her. That was exactly why falling for Koi had been such an unpredictable, uncontrollable deviation from everything.
But Ashley wasn’t going to admit that so easily.
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe sleeping with a guy wasn’t easy for me?"
He asked with a bitter edge, but Ariel crushed his flimsy resistance like it was nothing.
"Ash, even if Koi manifested as an omega, you still wouldn’t have slept with him. If he looked at you with those big tear-filled eyes and said he couldn’t do it, you would’ve run straight to the bathroom and jerked off until your dick was sore."
"And how can you be so sure of that?"
