Chapter 48: After Dark, Comes Light

My cheeks felt like it was on fire and I couldn’t imagine Blaze being able to see them right now. After abruptly letting go of his arms, he had only chuckled in a way that unnerved me even more.
I was currently biting on my bottom lip while trying to think of what to say in response. I most certainly couldn’t tell him the truth, about how I went to Andrian’s and got the scent blockers from him.
"Uh... so, I hung out with my friends a little–" I was speaking when he cut into my sentence.
"That’s how my scent disappeared from your body?" He asked and I shook my head even though he couldn’t see me right now.
"Because everyone could smell you on me... someone suggested I use some scent blockers so people would stop assuming that we–" I began to explain something very similar to the truth, but I ended up trailing off at the end, feeling tongue tied while embarrassment made my face and ear flush hotly.

"Why? You don’t want people to assume that I fucked you? Afraid you’re gonna like it too much? Hm? Afraid of people finding out that you’re a slut underneath this innocent aura?" His grip tightened around my waist this time and I felt my heart stumbled to a stop in my chest as my cheeks flushed even hotter, mouth opening and closing with nothing coming out.
He was currently being so unexpectedly crass and I didn’t know what to do or say.
