Finished with her break time, Selene intended to go back to her sell room. But just as she was about to turn left, she was startled by a man standing there and made her bump into the man.
"Ouch... Fuck, why are you standing in front of me?" she asked as she raised her head.
It turned out to be Caelum, who had been standing and watching her as she chatted with Ronald.
"There you are. Why did you have to stand in the middle of the way like that for me to bump into you?" she asked.
"I just happened to be standing here and saw you having fun with one of the guards," he replied.
He then took a step closer, causing Selene to take a step backwards until her back hit the wall behind her.
"How was your date with him, fun?"
"What do you mean by date? I just chatted with him, that's all. Besides, there is no written rule that a prisoner is forbidden to talk to the prison warden during break time," Selene replied as she folded her arms in front of her chest.
He admitted that there was no written or unwritten rule that prison guards were not allowed to communicate with prisoners.
However, he reminds them not to get too close to the prisoners. Because this could lead to misunderstandings or favoritism between each other by the warden due to emotional ties.
"Do you think so?" asked Selene.
"Yes, that is the rule in this prison between the guards and the prisoners. Especially since you two were just near that abandoned warehouse."
Selene gasped a little, how did Caelum know she and Ronald were near the warehouse when it was so far away from the door that led to the field.
'Has he been watching me all this time? He monitors me all the time, huh?' she thought.
"Isn't it common knowledge for everyone to 'play around' in that warehouse? I'm sure you know this exists too, it's just that you're silent because there aren't any reports about it," she said.
She then tugged at his tie, moving closer to him until their faces almost touched. Caelum reflexively used his arms to lean against the wall behind Selene to prevent him from falling towards her.
It made them look like they were doing something intimate. His hands locked her to the wall.
"Are you feeling jealous because I just got out of the warehouse with one of your guards? You know, I also need something more than getting imprisoned," Selene said in a teasing tone.
Her other hand touched Caelum's face with the back of her hand, caressing him gently. Looking at his perfectly formed jaw and handsome features. Now the tops of their noses were touching each other.
"Let go of my tie, we shouldn't be doing this or being in this position. You're going to make things worse."
A smirk appeared on her face, looking interested if someone actually saw them in this position.
While fiddling with his tie, twirling it in her fingers. Her gaze kept straight on his eyes, teasing him to fall into her hypnosis.
"Don't you think you'd be interested in doing it with me? Take it easy, I wouldn't ask anything harder or more from you than to be with you," she said.
However, he did not respond at all. His gaze was cold, piercing into her blue eyes. But of course, that did not make Selene flinch or feel afraid, but instead made her feel that Caelum was very alluring.
From such a close distance, she could smell his cologne. 'The scent of a handsome and powerful man. Truly extraordinary and strong.'
"You really are a dangerous prisoner," he murmured, heard only by her.
"And you're stuck with me," Selene replied with a sly smile.
"How long are you going to put up with this position?"
"As long as I want until I can get a kiss from you~" Her teasing tone was that of a dangerous succubus, gazing at the Chief Warden's lips before her.
Unbeknownst to them, at the end of the hallway two prison guards were intending to go to the field area to check whether there were any prisoners hiding or had not entered their cells yet.
However, they stopped in their tracks when they saw that their chief was alone with one of the female prisoners who often caused trouble in the prison.
"Isn't that Chief Rothwell but he's with that prisoner from Block E again! The woman who beat up Dargon's men that day!" a warden said to his friend beside him.
"Right, it was that horrible woman that day! Why are they here? And that position... Don't they really have a secret relationship?" his friend replied.
"I don't know either. But if they really have a relationship, then the rumors are true!"
They didn't expect that their chief, who was known to be ruthless and cold, could melt just because of a woman.
The two guards hid behind the wall as they watched Caelum and Selene. They were curious about what the two of them would do, since they were so brave to be seen like that in the prison hallway.
Because of course there would be many other guards passing through the hallway on patrol.
"Let's do it, you want to get away from me don't you? I think one kiss is enough to pay for you to get away from me," Selene said as she winked.
"So now you're trying to force me to kiss you? You remember who you're talking to, right?" Caelum asked her.
His arms were on either side of Selene's head, supporting his body.
She did not reply, but simply smiled at him. Of course there was an ulterior motive to that. But from her smile, Caelum could not seem to read what she wanted.
"So you want a kiss? You want a kiss from me. Then prepare yourself because you're playing with fire right now with me," he said in a heavy, husky tone.
"Yes, just one kiss. If you burn, then burn me too, Caelum."
Hearing his name being called in such a seductive tone, his hands that he had been using to support his body suddenly gripped her wrists. Holding them above her head with just one left hand.
"Huh?!" Selene's reflexes, who usually kept quiet and showed a sly smile, gasped in shock this time.
The grip was so strong on her wrists, she could not break free.
"Wait..." The previously teasing Selene could now see what kind of fire she was playing with.
His gaze darkened as if he was ready to pounce on the prey before him.
"Don't regret your decision. You forced me to do it, Selene Blackwell."
