Velia’s eyes trembled slightly as he heard his voice overflowing with desire.
“How much is your greed?”
“I told you. I want to lock you up. “So that no one else can think of it but me.”
Velia burst into laughter at those words. She then got off her desk, pushing him away with a little force.
Khalid was about to peck her lips, perhaps feeling that her actions were rejecting him.
Velia placed her hand on Khalid’s chest and slowly, slowly pushed him back.
“I don’t think you know much about me.”
“I?”
“So you must be impatient.”
Velia continued to push Khalid and walked forward one step at a time. As Khalid stepped behind her, something caught on his foot, and he fell backwards.
He was on the bed.
“is it so. We don’t know much about each other. “Each of us has something to hide, and we are deceiving each other.”
Khalid was lying on the bed and only raised his head to look at Velia standing in front of her.
Velia swept her long hair to the side with one hand and very slowly climbed on top of Khalid.
“now… … .”
Khalid could not bear to speak.
It took my breath away.
“So, I think we need time to get to know each other.”
Yes? she asked Velia smiling.
That sight was needlessly obscene.
Just looking at Velia sitting on top of him now was enough to put Khalid’s sanity in jeopardy. Like a thin thread, it was on the verge of breaking.
“I can’t guarantee what will happen next, Velia.”
Khalid’s voice cracked, tinged with lust.
Velia laughed darkly, and Khalid covered his eyes with her hands.
‘I’m going crazy.’
… … No.
She has already entered the room. Should I hold on any longer?
“Khalid… … .”
She called Velia fussily, stretching out the end of his name a little. For her, that was the final blow.
“It’s even worse if you do this knowingly. know?”
Khalid grabbed Velia’s arm and pulled her. Then, in an instant, he laid her down on her bed and climbed on top of her.
It was the opposite situation from before.
“You keep pushing me to my limit.”
There was lust in his eyes.
At that moment, an unbearable impulse enveloped Velia. Velia reached out her hand and hugged Khalid’s neck.
“under.”
Khalid let out a short breath. The hot breath disappeared between our lips in an instant. It was a persistent and non-stop kiss, as if trying to make up for the time we had been apart.
Continuing her sticky kisses, Khalid reached her hands down Velia’s back and unbuttoned her tightly fastened buttons one by one. As her Velia’s dress fell down to her shoulders, Khalid buried hid face in her neck.
“Velia.”
Goosebumps ran down my back as my name flowed from his mouth as if asking for permission.
She wanted him too. It was an undeniable fact.
Velia tightened her arms around him and whispered in his ear.
“You said you were looking forward to today.”
At those words, Khalid’s eyes became even more vicious.
Velia smiled, closing her eyes.
Today will be a very long day.
Night hasn’t come yet.
* * *
When did I fall asleep?
Velia blinked her heavy eyelids and looked blankly out her window.
Moonlight filled the dark room. She vaguely thought that a lot of time had passed, but it was still not dawn on her.
Velia turned her head and looked at the man lying next to her. His dark hair obscured a bit of his face, but did not obscure the sharp bridge of her nose and jawline.
As she reached out her hand to brush away some of her stray hair, she was satisfied that she got a much better view of his face.
‘You look gentle when you’re sleeping.’
Velia looked at Khalid’s face for a while, lost in thought. She had such a handsome face that it made me happy just to look at her, so much so that I couldn’t tell how time passed.
Perhaps because she had admitted her feelings for him, she looked even more handsome than before.
At that time, her pursed lips rose in an arc.
“ah… … .”
I thought she was sleeping.
Velia looked startled and she turned her gaze away from him. Then Khalid stretched out her arms and hugged her Velia tightly and asked:
“did you sleep well?”
She, was so embarrassed that she was caught observing him that she couldn’t open her mouth. She could feel his small smile vibrating from her body as it touched hers.
“sleep more. “It’s still early.”
Khalid spoke sweetly and pulled her deeper into his embrace. It was nice to hear her low, deep voice that was a little quiet.
“Shhhh… … .”
Khalid must have felt Velia squirming in her arms and patted her on the back.
“It’s going to be a tiring day today, so you’d better get some sleep, Velia.”
“… … I can not sleep.”
“Still, lie down. “It’s been a while since you were next to me, so I wish you could stay like this just a little longer.”
As if she was complaining, Khalid leaned his face against her Velia’s collarbone. These little actions made me think that they really were like lovers. For some reason, it felt like her empty heart was filling up.
“Khalid. I feel sleepy?”
Maybe we can talk about it now.
The stories she vowed to tell over and over again, but couldn’t bring herself to tell them.
“no.”
“Then wake up for a moment.”
However, Khalid hugged Velia even tighter without any sign of getting up.
“I have something I want to tell you.”
Khalid paused for a moment and ran his hand down Velia’s slender waist as she wiggled in her arms, then grabbed her wrist.
“I got thinner while I wasn’t seeing you. “Are you lonely because I’m not around?”
“No, I’ve been doing well so far.”
“no. It’s clear that I didn’t eat properly. “It looks like it might break if I apply a little bit of force.”
Velia looked sullen as she continued to change her words.
“You’re doing this on purpose, right?”
Velia asked, lifting her head.
“well.”
Anyone could see that she was doing it on purpose, but Khalid shamelessly pretended not to do so and this time she started playing with her Velia’s hair.
I was trying to talk about something really important, but somehow he didn’t seem very interested.
He didn’t even know how hard he had to go through before bringing up her story!
She sat up in her seat as Velia shook off his touch.
“Khalid.”
It was an expression of intention to speak only when one was prepared to listen properly.
Only then did Khalid laugh and get up from her seat and leave her bed. She then took her gown which was lying near her and draped it over her Velia’s shoulders.
“Honestly, now I’m a little scared of what you’ll say.”
Khalid sat down on a nearby sofa and joked lightly.
Velia also quietly got out of bed and sat down next to Khalid, adjusting the robe he had given her.
“So what did you want to say so seriously?”
“… … I decided to hold your hand. Not Raul. “Don’t you know how big of a choice that is for me?”
His face, which was full of laughter, suddenly darkened.
This was because the words that came out of Velia’s mouth now made her realize the weight of her story that she would tell in the future.
“I risked my whole life and chose you.”
She pressed Velia’s lips to hers as she found it difficult to open them.
She felt like if she turned back now she wouldn’t be able to tell him the truth.
“So I decided to tell you everything.”
“… … “Everything?”
Velia nodded her head.
“is it so. “The things you were so curious about.”
For example, foreshadowing various situations in advance, or why he wants to take down Raul.
“I want to listen?”
“… … okay.”
He had a complicated expression.
It was as if he expected his curiosity to be answered, but he looked confused as to whether he could really listen to this story.
“No, wait a minute.”
Then Khalid stopped Velia and leaned forward, covering her face with both hands.
“Can you give me just a moment?”
Velia sat down in silence and waited. Khalid was also silent for a moment.
‘… … ‘You must have known it instinctively.’
If she heard herself say it, there really would be no turning back.
She said Velia herself had to have a lot of determination to say these words, so she may have needed some mental preparation as well.
“It’s okay not to listen if you’re scared.”
But doesn’t she feel bad that he’s trying to pull her out now?
Seeing him hesitate made me feel uncomfortable. However, Velia did not show it and leisurely raised the corner of her mouth and made her provocation.
“Scared? I?”
And he was very prone to falling for her Velia’s provocations.
He did the same when he first proposed a contract relationship with him. He had accepted all of his offers with a look on his face that made him laugh and he didn’t know what to do.
As the memories of that time passed by, Velia slowly closed and opened her eyes.
She said, ‘At that time, I never thought we would end up in a relationship like this.’
She laughed at her past self, who was only thinking about using him. I didn’t even know she was being sincere like this.
“good. “Then shall we listen to the things you hid from me?”
“You won’t regret it, will you?”
Velia knew he had tried to run away for a moment. As if he suddenly came to his senses after struggling in a swamp, his instincts warned him not to go any deeper.
So she did and finally she asked for his opinion.
She had no intention of letting him go, but he could at least listen to her opinion.
“regret? There’s no way I have any regrets. is not it?”
Khalid laughed bitterly.
It was rare in his life to look back. It was even more rare to reflect on the past and regret it. Because he grew up in an environment where he had to always look ahead and walk.
“Tell me about it, Velia. “The secret you kept so tightly hidden.”
The expression that had been confused just a moment ago became firm. As if he was ready to listen to whatever he had to say.
He brought out the beginning of the story that Velia had hidden from him.
“Have you ever wondered why I hate Raul so much?”
Khalid burst out laughing at that question.
“You probably weren’t curious. “I was more curious about that than the fact that you know so many ridiculous things.”
Velia let out a small sigh at that answer.
Bringing up this story was a huge gamble for her. He might not believe the story she was about to tell with difficulty.
But didn’t he believe many stories for which he couldn’t even provide proper evidence?
Velia held her slightly trembling hand tightly. Then she held back her desire to run away and with difficulty she pulled her heavy lips away.
“… … Have you ever heard of someone skipping time and returning to the past?”
