Chapter 7
It’s hot.
Hyun-oh’s gaze felt so intense that it could almost scorch her. His eyes, slowly trailing down like droplets of water, excited Sua. She gasped as he stared at her intensely, feeling like he could engulf her.
My brother’s gaze is like this.
Hyun-oh had always been a calm and composed man, unlike her older brother Ji-heon, who was somewhat reckless and immature. Despite being the same age, Hyun-oh had always remained calm and collected, even in the face of any situation since his school days. Sua had always admired him like an adult.
But now.
His eyes were so deep and dark that they seemed unfathomable. Just meeting his gaze made her mouth go dry. Within those dark eyes, his gaze roamed over Sua’s skin, followed by his fingers. His fingers, large and firm, lightly traced along her skin, sending shivers down her spine with each touch, although there was no force behind it.
“Ah.”
It tickled. And it was hot.
Sua bit her lip hard to suppress the urge to moan. Dangerous words felt like they were on the tip of her tongue, ready to escape.
Her translucent skin flushed a deep red as if it was burning.
“Ha.”
A short, shallow breath from the man. But even that breath seemed to tickle her face as the distance between them closed.
His fingers toyed with the alluring black shine of the negligee’s straps. As the straps swayed slightly, the flesh of her protruding chest seemed to tease, revealing itself little by little.
“This outfit. Did a friend buy it for you?”
Low, growling voice.
In the darkness, with that deep tone that seemed to hunt prey, Sua paused for a moment, blankly staring before nodding her head.
“……Yes.”
“You’re not very good at lying.”
“Lying?”
“Yeah.”
Did he think she bought it for him?
That would make sense. She’s liked him for a long time, and she even proposed to him. But it’s really not like that.
“Oh, no. Really… It’s from a friend. I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding.”
At Su’a’s clumsy response, Hyun-oh seemed to bite down on it, his cheeks bulging slightly. As if pondering, his fingertips toyed with the fabric. A thick heat gathered between them. Hyun-oh twisted his eyebrows and whispered.
“We’re already married, we don’t need to go this far. I didn’t intend to have sex with you.”
Thump.
Her heart dropped at his cold words. Sua’s pupils trembled.
Hyun-oh slowly withdrew his hand from her body, his forehead always furrowed and his eyes narrowed. Unsure of what he was thinking, he stared at Sua intensely, hesitating for a moment before finally blurting out.
“No.”
Hyun-oh’s voice echoed deep within her.
“I want you.”
“……”
“So I’m going crazy.”
For a moment, the fingers that had momentarily left Sua’s body grabbed her round shoulders, clasping them tightly. It didn’t hurt, but a shiver ran through her entire body.
“I shouldn’t touch you.”
“……”
“Even though I know you’re not doing this from your heart.”
“……”
“At this very moment, Han Sua, I want you so intensely it could break you.”
His voice was filled with deep desire, as if it were not a lie.
Sua was unfamiliar with men.
Her father disliked them, so she never had any male friends. She never even had a crush. The only man she secretly harbored feelings for was Hyun-oh, just him.
But instinctively, she could tell. Hyun-oh really wanted her now.
Just knowing that made her breathless and flushed. From the shoulder touching her to below, a thrill ran through her. The space between her legs, which had never heated up before, now felt hot, and it felt like someone was tickling her stomach. The tips of her breasts, hidden beneath the thin fabric, tingled.
Sua’s voice cracked with tension.
“I really want, no, I desire Hyun-oh.”
On a timid subject, she dared to reach out and lay her hand on his shoulder. Hyun-oh’s lips twisted at Sua’s audacious move.
“My friend bought the clothes, but the one wearing them is… me.”
Although she could have worn the hotel’s gown or the not-so-sexy pajamas she had brought, she ultimately chose to wear the negligee provocatively.
She moved closer to him. Her soft chest pressed against his firm muscles.
“Don’t hold back.”
“……”
“Is there a reason to hold back?”
Grinding.
There was a grinding sound. He glanced at Sua for a moment before muttering softly.
“You don’t even know how scary it is to jump into my arms like this.”
“……”
“Don’t regret it.”
And then Hyun-oh lowered his head and pressed his lips against Sua’s.
—
‘You don’t even know how scary it is.’
His words were not a joke.
Sua had no idea. What a real kiss was, what real physical intimacy was. Soft, affectionate physical contact she had seen in romantic movies. She thought that was what love between spouses entailed.
But the kiss she experienced firsthand was closer to desire.
Hyun-oh’s tongue licked Sua’s dry lips, parted in surprise, and rudely pushed its way in between.
What should I do?
She couldn’t tell if she should close her eyes or keep them open. She didn’t know when to breathe, lost in the intense movement. With wide eyes, Sua simply clung to Hyun-oh. His well-built, firm thighs pressed closer, squeezing between Sua’s soft thighs.
It felt sweet, hot, like melting away.
“Mmm.”
Between kisses, a wet, new sound escaped Sua’s lips.
What is this? Is this a kiss?
It felt like her whole body was on fire, like she was going mad. His tongue teased the sensitive mucous membranes, and the already sensitive tips of her breasts were pressed against his chest. Whether intentional or unintentional, his firm thighs stimulated the space between Sua’s legs.
The sensation was so strong, she felt scared of what was happening inside her body.
“Ugh.”
“For heaven’s sake, Han Sua.”
With his fingertips, he flicked the strap of her negligee. Weakly, both straps fell down her arms. Her previously subtly pink skin was now fully exposed before his eyes.
“I can’t stop.”
Sua felt like she couldn’t stop either. Even as they paused the kiss, her wet lips still panted with Hyun-oh’s saliva. She wanted more, to touch more.
She liked Hyun-oh.
She liked him so much it felt like she was going crazy.
Before, she had admired and had a crush on him, but now that their lips met, it felt so good it made her dizzy. It was terrifying how instinctual it was. She was scared.
She revealed her body to him, kissed him passionately, and would likely do more. The fear of the unknown still lingered in a corner of her mind. But her desire for him was stronger than that.
“Don’t stop.”
Sua’s current state was unabashedly sensual. Unlike Hyun-oh, who was impeccably dressed in a neat suit and tie, she was almost fully exposed, with her daring outfit barely clinging to her body.
Coming out hastily after a shower, her wet hair was tousled by his fingers. Hyun-oh’s swollen lips looked even more enticing.
Watching her, Hyun-oh chuckled bitterly. “Quite surprising. There’s a lot I didn’t know about you today.”
“…?”
“That you could be this seductive. And…”
He paused for a long moment.
“That I could be this impatient.”
The corners of Hyun-oh’s eyes were tinged with red as he slid his hand underneath Sua’s arm and lifted her slender body effortlessly.
“Whoa, you’re heavy!”
Surprised, Sua protested, but Hyun-oh effortlessly placed her gently on the table as if it were nothing. Her warm thighs touched the cool marble surface. As she shivered all over, he ran his hand from her thighs to her knees. Her legs involuntarily parted slightly.
Then he knelt on the floor.
“W-what… what are you doing?”
As Hyun-oh knelt before her, he looked up at Sua.
“I don’t want to hurt you.”
What does that have to do with him kneeling in front of me?
“It’s okay.”
He chuckled softly.
“I won’t devour you.”
With that, he leaned towards her open legs. Despite his assurance not to devour her, he eagerly explored her.
“Ouch!”
A night of no regrets.
That night was just the beginning.
