Chapter 03
Finally, the tears she had been holding back began to fall, drop by drop. She didn’t want to cry in front of this man, but the tears that had burst forth wouldn’t be held back.
“Haah, why on earth are you crying?”
Though his words were cold, he frowned and wiped the tears streaming from her eyes.
“I have my own reasons for this. You don’t even know the full story, so stop interfering.”
Hyeonjeong brushed away the hand of this strange man whose words were cold but whose touch was gentle. Despite this, he persistently wiped the tear stains from her cheek.
“I don’t know what your reasons are, but no man who’s into one-night stands is a decent guy.”
“I get it, now move aside.”
Since she wasn’t going to have the one-night stand anyway, she had no need for the man before her.
As Hyeonjeong, having given up on everything, tried to leave the room, the man moved his large frame left and right, blocking her path each time she tried to step around him.
Just as she was about to demand why he was doing this to her, the man slowly loosened the tie he was wearing.
Under his fingers, the buttons of his shirt came undone one by one.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
“What you want.”
“What I want?”
Startled by the man who was suddenly taking off his shirt and leaning towards her, Hyeonjeong stumbled backward.
The man who had acted like he would never, ever have a one-night stand with her was gone; in his place was a man who seemed ready to pounce at any moment, radiating a raw, primal scent.
“You… you just said there are no decent guys among men who enjoy one-night stands.”
Of course, she had been the one to check into the hotel and seduce him at the hotel bar lounge with the intention of having a one-night stand.
He had avoided her, but ended up coming to this room. After scolding her not to engage in one-night stands so carelessly, he was suddenly taking off his clothes to be with her. She didn’t know how to react to this sudden change.
Yet, despite her confusion, her eyes were drawn to the firm, muscular physique visible through the parted shirt.
Feeling as if he was mocking her, Hyeonjeong quickly averted her gaze. To her question, the man answered as if it were obvious.
“Yeah. Except for me.”
“…….”
“There are no decent guys except me. Remember that. I figured you’d feel wronged if you didn’t know.”
With an air that was beyond confident, almost brazen, the man gradually moved closer to her. The distance closed until it seemed their lips would touch at any moment.
Hyeonjeong, frightened, flinched and closed her eyes tightly without realizing it.
“…….”
She had expected him to pounce on her like a wild beast any second, his eyes gleaming dangerously, but he seemed oddly still. Instead of their lips colliding, she only felt the tickle of his breath settling on her lips.
Thinking he was teasing her again, Hyeonjeong’s eyes flew open.
Just as she resolved not to take any more and tried to push past him, she saw the man’s gaze was dark and heavy.
“You won’t regret it?”
His voice resonated even deeper than his gaze, shaking the quiet room. Or perhaps, it was Hyeonjeong’s heart that was shaken.
“No.”
With that answer, the man descended upon her like a starved beast.
Hyeonjeong’s back hit the wall, and his lips deeply captured hers in a biting kiss.
His hot tongue slipped through her parted teeth, invading her mouth. Without giving her a moment to breathe, he explored every corner of her mouth.
He was strong and hot. There was no hesitation, as if he intended to steal her breath, her saliva, her very life.
It felt like she was being devoured by him.
“W-wait a second.”
Her head felt fuzzy, likely from lack of oxygen, so she pulled her lips away to catch her breath. But the man growled as if that was unacceptable, scooped her up effortlessly, and bit down on her lips again.
Her back met the wall once more, his solid body supporting her. Receiving his intense kiss, Hyeonjeong pressed her body tightly against his embrace.
She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and her legs around his firm waist. For some reason, the arms holding her felt incredibly reliable, and strangely, she felt an expectation that no matter what happened, he would never let her go.
It was her first kiss. Even though she must have been clumsy, he skillfully melted the inside of her mouth like sweet chocolate.
Wherever his hot tongue touched, it felt like her mucous membranes were dissolving.
When he briefly pulled his lips away, he pressed his forehead against hers, breathing heavily. Their eyes met.
His eyes, which had seemed so cold before, now looked like hot flames were roaring within them. She could feel his desire directly.
And it wasn’t just his gaze. Between her legs, wrapped tightly around his waist, she could feel something hot and hard.
True to his word, she knew nothing about men, so a wave of shame washed over her, and she buried her forehead against his shoulder.
Even with her eyes closed, she felt the room’s lights go out. As if his patience had run out, he walked quickly while holding her.
Soon, her back met the softness of a bed. Even though they had only kissed, her heart felt like it would burst, swollen and breathless.
“It’s a problem if you’re already like this.”
This unfamiliar excitement felt strange and overwhelming. As if not giving her any time to think of anything else, his large frame instantly filled her vision.
Whether it was the dim light or because he had taken off his top, his figure seemed even larger. She should have been scared, but strangely, she wasn’t.
She ran her fingertips over his muscles, which looked both hard and soft.
“What’s the problem?”
“You already look like you’re about to lose it just from a kiss.”
“…….”
She couldn’t possibly say that it was because he kissed so well it felt good, that her head was spinning.
The touch of his hand, stroking her hair splayed haphazardly on the bedsheet, was sweet. The look in his eyes as he gazed down at her was so hot it almost caused the delusion that it was also affectionate.
His lips descended on hers again. Without any clear initiator, they held each other tightly, exchanging sweet breaths.
The pounding of his heart, pressed against her chest, was transmitted directly to her. It was as wild as the beating of her own heart.
The man who had rejected her, saying he had no illusions about one-night stands, was gone; only a man heated with excitement remained.
“Haah. Even if you say it hurts, I won’t stop halfway.”
“…….”
It wasn’t a question asking if that would be okay.
He was informing her. His blazing eyes said as much.
As if telling her to be prepared, he covered her body with his heavy one, making his solid, hot presence known.
“Don’t stop, please.”
Please, she hoped this act wouldn’t stop.
She had wanted it to prevent any thoughts from entering her mind. She hadn’t dreamed of ecstatic sensations. She just wanted to feel the satisfaction of transgression through this strange act.
At Hyeonjeong’s desperate plea, the man muttered a low curse under his breath, then swiftly stripped off her clothes. His rough hands were filled with excitement.
His lips slid over her exposed white shoulders. His soft, hot hands, lips, and breath meticulously bit, licked, and sucked at her body, now revealed to the air.
“Hng, ah.”
Shocked by the obscene moan that escaped her lips—one she could hardly believe was her own—Hyeonjeong covered her mouth with both hands.
She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to resist the moans that kept trying to escape, but the peculiar sensations he was giving her were simply impossible to endure.
“Haah. Wait, just wait. A little, slower…….”
She grabbed his broad shoulders and pleaded, but the only response was the man’s deep, low voice of refusal.
“It’s already too late.”
The man locked eyes with her and opened his mouth wide. The flesh sucked into his mouth was rolled around chaotically.
“I’m going crazy.”
