Megumi wished he could get you to stop following him. But your persistence was unwavering, pleading with those disingenuous doe eyes. “Stop pestering me and leave me alone.” He finally snapped, rolling his eyes at you and your desperation. It was almost pitiful to see you like this, but realized you weren't worth feeling sorry for knowing your true nature.

Ordinarily, getting men to protect you was an easy feat. Pretending to be a damsel in distress and manipulating them to do your bidding was your specialty. And it worked like a charm. But not with this one. Megumi could easily see right through your facade, knowing your real intentions. It took every ounce of his being to not pull your hair in annoyance right now.

Still, you weren't quite used to total rejection. It was exciting to chase a man who clearly had no interest in you. Megumi had now posed an interesting challenge to you, one that you weren't going to give up so easily. You didn't even care about his protection at this point. Now you just wanted him, and you were going to get what you want one way or another.
