Chapter 34: Sleepless Night

[Music Recommendation: "In the Middle of the Night" by Alley Duhe]

"Uhmm..."

"Ahhhh..."

We kissed and kissed and kissed... very passionately.

This time, I wasn’t the only one breathing hard—Agent Helios, too. I could also feel his raised pulse from his hands touching my face. It felt hot and trembled slightly.

’I have to admit, though... his lips feel really good—wait, no. I meant the act of kissing is what feels good! Not his lips! Ugh. Get your mind together, Ye-Ji. Remember, he’s a walking red flag! You can’t trust him fully. Who knows? Maybe he’s just using the mission as an excuse to seduce you, only to use you as a pawn later? You can’t be seduced! No! I won’t be seduced! Do you think your tricks will work on me? Never!’

As my mind focused too much on the kiss’s heart-pounding sensation, I didn’t notice that I was already lying on the bed with him pinning me down. I only realized it when his hands let go of my cheeks and clenched tightly on the sheets. And my arms... they were already wrapped around his neck. Since when did I—but wait...

’This is not going where I think it’s going, right?’

Not ready with it yet, and definitely NOT with him, I pushed his face away and touched his lips with my finger, making him stop—finally.

"Haah... haah... haah..."

As we breathed heavily, a soft chuckle escaped his mouth. He caressed my cheeks and smirked at me while his eyes stared at mine. I unconsciously averted my eyes. Somehow, his gaze felt... weird.

"That’s a nice expression," he said. "Didn’t know you could pull a seductive face."

Huh? Seductive? I’m not even trying to seduce him. Feeling a little mischievous, I replied haughtily.

"Seductive face? Why? Are you seduced?" I smirked back at him.

He didn’t answer me and simply chuckled again. His face was red, though. Then, he got up and tinkered on the video camera, probably transferring the video to his phone for further study, deleting the ones in the camera itself, and destroying the recovery file.

As agents, we were trained to be careful at all times. That was why our brooches, watches, and phones from Mythos had a feature where it could alert us if there were any recorders around—whether it be video or audio or anything else.

"I think we’re done for today," he said. After that, he walked away and returned to his room.

’Haah... At last, we’re done. I need to bathe first, then go to sleep.’

I lifted my body and got up on the bed, but suddenly, I felt something weird between my thighs when I stood up.

"Hm? Is it my period already?"

Not minding it much, I went to the bathroom to shower. But when I removed my clothes and my underwear... it wasn’t my period.

"T-this is not... NO! It can’t be! What the—ugh! I know this is some normal physical reaction towards too much intimate actions with the opposite sex, but still... WAAAA!"

That’s it! I’m never doing any prolonged kissing with him EVER! Especially the Wild Kiss!

[Agent Helios POV]

Finally done with the kissing practice, I hurried back to my room to get some rest.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

But before that, I need to calm this heartbeat down. And not only that...

I reached my room and came inside, shutting and locking the door tight after I entered. Sighing deeply, I palmed my face with my hand. Then, I glanced down to my groin and sighed again.

"Why did I suddenly get hard? Tsk. Don’t tell me I’m... aroused?" I mumbled and scoffed, feeling conflicted about everything.

’Whenever there’s something I’m not familiar with, I would always train hard and repeat it until I perfect it. But this... I shouldn’t have kissed her too much. I didn’t think it would result in something like this. I’ve never been attracted to anyone. I couldn’t care less about romance, flirting, or anything sexual. I’m always focused on my mission whenever I’m in one, so I would never have thought that—ugh... Being aroused like this... it’s a first. And to think it’s with that woman.’

While my inner thoughts argued and contradicted each other, my mind suddenly decided to join the fun and made me remember her image lying on the bed, with me pinning her down.

Her slim figure beneath me...

Her flawless skin that shined despite the dimmed lights...

Her cleavage that peaked through her ruffled dress and straps that slid off her shoulder...

That effortlessly beautiful face and seductive expression...

And her eyes that were a bit teary from all my kisses...

’What the f*ck. Did I just think she was beautiful? No. It can’t be.’

Indeed, when I first saw her, I did think she was quite beautiful for an agent. She could pass as a celebrity or idol if she ever decided to pursue that—though I highly doubt she had the talent. But her face alone could get her scouted by many agencies. Only, she had a terrible temper and could literally kill you.

Then, her words reverberated in my ears.

"... Why? Are you seduced?"

Her sweet voice sounded sexy.

’Ugh. Stop it with these thoughts! Focus on the mission!’

I tried to distract myself, but the sensation of her lips on mine remained, and it didn’t help me get my focus back. So I decided to take a shower and cool off.

"Ahhh... the water feels nice."

I closed my eyes as I basked in the warmth of the water pouring down on my body. As soon as I shut them close, her image flashed on my mind again.

"Ugh... What the heck!"

Frustrated with my own thoughts, I groaned. I tried breathing in and out deeply to calm myself down, but it barely helped. What’s more... I’m still hard.

"How the hell do I calm this down?"

Soon enough, I finished my shower and covered myself with a bathrobe. I left the bathroom, pressing on my temples and shaking my head while figuring out how to resolve this unprecedented issue.

I paced around the room, trying to think, but my vast knowledge seemed to have shut down for the day. I then turned to my phone and decided to look it up.

"Ways to calm down arou—" I typed it in but decided to clear it away. "No way am I looking up for something as absurd as this."

Pissed off, I threw my phone on the bed and decided to dry my hair. As the warm air from the blower touched my face, I felt hot again.

"Umrghhh... This is freaking irritating," I groaned. "Whatever. I should be fine once I sleep this out."

How very wrong I was. That night... I barely managed to sleep.

And that’s not all.

When I finally managed to sleep, for the very first time... I had a wet dream.

What’s worse... it was a wet dream involving her!

"What the f*ck!"
