Chapter 110: Strength In Submission
Jules pov
As Xander stepped into his room and slammed the door close, I let out a sharp breath which I didn’t realize I had been holding, inhaling sharply and trying to get my lungs to expand and rake more air in.
Kim had a grim expression on when I met his gaze. He stared me up and down and I felt my ears start to grow hot as I awkwardly cleared my throat, which sounded scratchy from how much Xander choked me. I reached for my throat almost immediately, running my fingers over the sides which were the parts that was hurting the most.
"It’s definitely gonna bruise." Kim blurted out I slowly nodded in response while swallowing emptily. I kind of already expected that from how much it had hurt while he had been strangling me.
I cleared my throat once again and dropped my hand, and then I spoke.
"Uh... thank you for helping me get out of that situation." I breathed out.
In the next moment, it was like Kim’s hackles which were relaxed suddenly rose up, settling over his entire body.
He pursed his lips and shook his head once. "It wasn’t me."
I gawked at him in confusion.
