Chapter 3 A Crazy Thing

Their bodies were intertwined in a tight embrace on the soft bed. Scarlett held tightly onto Jude's neck. "Faster, faster." She had never said such outrageous words in the past seven years. "But now..." Her eyelashes trembled as she blinked. The man above her halted after hearing her words, but swiftly pinned her down by her thin shoulders. The words that left his thin lips were dripping with sarcasm. "Mrs. Simmons, you're... such a slut." His slender waist knocked into her with force. "But... your wish is my command," he said, and increased his speed. She blinked repeatedly as if she didn't hear him. She held onto his neck for dear life as if she was a small boat on the turbulent open sea. "Jude, hug me... hug me... hug me!" She seemed to have gone insane. "Jude! Hug me! Hug me! Hug me, hug me, hug me..." Her pale lips were dyed red after her numerous cries, stimulating Jude into a frenzied lovemaking mode. He had the nagging feeling that the woman underneath him was a different person altogether tonight. She had never been this passionate... or crazy! Suddenly, she pulled his neck down so that their faces were just inches apart. "Jude Simmons, I love you." "Jude, I love you, I love you, I love you!" she cried, yelling so loudly that her voice turned hoarse. Scarlett had never been more passionate, bolder, and crazier than tonight! Unlike seven years ago, she was currently so brilliant that she was glowing. It was as if she would rather exhaust the last bit of her energy to burn her passion to ashes. She seemed more desperate than a moth flying into a flame! Jude continued to move his waist rigorously, but his face was expressionless. Scarlett bit her lower lip and hugged him. "Jude! Tell me that you love me!" Her eyes were glazed over, but her hopeful gaze was unmistakable. "Ha..." He sneered and didn't answer. Scarlett abruptly raised her head and bit his neck hard. "Tell me that you love me!" Today, it wasn't just her craziness that had peaked, but her obsession as well! Jude looked up with a jolt and his gaze was ice-cold. "Have you gone crazy?" Ignoring him, she bit his neck again. She raised her head and looked at him with red-rimmed eyes filled with borderline-obsessive insistence. "Tell me that you love me!" She had gone crazy! If she wasn't crazy, she wouldn't have made that decision and chosen... "Don't push your luck." She bit him again. "Say it! Say that you love me!" Jude evaded her with a frown. "Don't move!" Scarlett reached out and hooked his neck with frightening strength. "Don't forget that we did more than registering our marriage seven years ago! We also signed a contract! You, Jude Simmons, must fulfill my every request!" For the first time in seven years, Scarlett threatened Jude with the contract that only they knew about. He looked at her coldly and, as per her expectations, stopped avoiding her. "Tell me that you love me, Jude, tell me that you love me," she said obsessively, her eyelashes fluttering. "Since... Since that damned contract is so important to him, then..." Sorrow washed over her, but she looked up and gritted her teeth. "This is also a request. Jude, tell me that you love me! The contract stipulates that you, Jude Simmons, must fulfill my request! Every last one of them!" Jude grabbed her waist and thrust into her with force. He was telling her to stop dreaming with his actions. Scarlett's eyes turned even redder and she bit his neck with even more force. "Say it! Say it!" The man above quickened his pace, enduring her gnawing on his neck. His frown proved that he was in pain, yet he couldn't avoid her. Out of resentment, dejection, and desperation to hear the faith in those words of confession... she bit him again! "Say it! Tell me that you love me! Say it, dammit!" The only response she received from Jude was his willingness to let her gnaw at his neck and even rougher lovemaking! "Jude, tell me that you love me..." Her voice gradually became weaker. "Please... Even if it's a lie..." she said, her voice trembling with weakness. A long time later, when her erratic breathing had calmed down... she looked at the bloodied neck covered with bite marks in front of her. The taste of blood in her mouth reminded her that Jude wasn't willing to lie to her, not even just once. Even after biting him so hard that she drew blood and threatening him with the contract, she still would never hear those words from him for the rest of her life... He wouldn't lie to her, not even out of pity. When their sex was over, Jude turned over and got out of bed. He stood by the bed with a raised eyebrow and a smile. "I have always fulfilled your every request, Mrs. Simmons. Did I satisfy you with our lovemaking this time?" Ridicule filled his eyes. He turned around and entered the bathroom. The sound of splashing water soon reached Scarlett's ears. Her face had turned a deathly shade of white.
