Chapter 59: Temptation (Part 2)

[Music Recommendation: "Waste It On Me" by BTS & Steve Aoki - instrumental version by Paintamelody]

"What? Why would I want that?" I asked, but his smile was so confident.

"Make your face a little convincing before you say that."

Ugh. He was right. Even I wouldn’t believe myself if I looked like this.

’Wait a minute—why am I hesitating? It’s just a yes or no. If I would be honest with myself, kissing him wasn’t so bad—ugh, stop it, Ye-Ji—you like kissing him, too. Just admit it. Like him, you weren’t sure as well why. Maybe, it’s just lust or curiosity, or the feeling of experiencing something new, or it may even be simply because of hormones. Whatever the reason is, it’s a simple YES, you like it, too, right? What’s so bad about admitting it? He admitted it himself, putting you both in the same spot. He can’t tease you for it, nor can he take it against you. So why not... just accept it?’

"So... Do we have a deal?" he asked again.

Truthfully, I wanted to accept. It’s not like we weren’t kissing already. But to do it even in private was a little too personal and weird. What’s more, I wasn’t sure where that could lead. What if we started developing feelings because of it? Was that even possible? I’m not sure. And I couldn’t possibly let myself be vulnerable. Especially when I still haven’t avenged my father.

Alas, reason started to come back to my mind.

Right. I shouldn’t forget my father.

I have no time for romance, flirting, or anything related.

I know I’m just being stubborn, and it’s not like a simple kiss would hinder my revenge. But the possibility of feelings developing because of that... no. Not yet.

Finally deciding on that, I shook my head and opened my mouth to respond.

"I’m sorry, but—"

I hadn’t finished my words, but he had already kissed me!

’This hateful guy! He wasn’t asking for a deal or permission! He’s just doing what he wants! The nerve of him! Urgh! You jerk!’

And of course, just like all the time we kissed before, I couldn’t stop him once we started. He pulled me towards him and made me straddle him. Then, he wrapped his arms around my waist and back, locking me into his embrace. And his lips devoured me over and over.

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

"Eun-Woo’ya... uhmm," I moaned, pleasured by his passionate kiss.

Was this how the forbidden fruit looked in Eve’s eyes? Was this how it tasted when she took a bite that she wasn’t able to stop herself?

"Uhmm... Ahhhh."

We moaned and grunted and panted.

My hands traveled his body all by itself—touching his neck, his chest, and down his abdomen. Wanting to feel his skin, I... loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. But when I realized what I had done, I stopped and clenched the back of his neck.

"It’s alright. You can touch all you want."

"Huh? But that’s..."

He held my hand and let me touch his body—the very bareness of his skin. It was smooth, warm, but sturdy. Strangely, I gulped as my hands brushed through his chest and abdomen. My hands trembled a bit, but it was satisfying. Actually, no—it only made me crave more. I don’t even know what more I wanted.

In return for letting me touch his body, Eun-Woo’s kiss also began to travel—from my lips, he went down to my chin, neck, and chest, sending shivers all over my body. What’s more, I didn’t hate it.

And so, we continued like that for I wasn’t sure how long. All I remembered was... how much I liked it.

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

But as I asked myself that, I felt something hard between my thighs.

Eun-Woo’s face and body turned so pink as well. He clenched my dress as if trying to stop himself from taking it off.

’Right... I’m straddling him, so of course he will... ugh. Ye-Ji, stop this now before you fall any deeper.’

My body didn’t listen. Instead, we continued kissing wildly. Like him, my lips began traveling to his chin, his neck, and then his chest. I heard him grunt when I did that. And that hard thing between my thighs seemed to have gained a heart of its own. It pulsated, though faint, but I could feel it.

Eun-Woo wasn’t the only one aroused—I was, too. I could feel the wetness in my underwear as our bodies rubbed toward each other. We should really stop this.

"Ye-Ji’ya... haah," he whispered my name, panting hard. "We only agreed on a kiss. If we continue this, I’m not sure I can hold back anymore. I might..."

"Ha-ha. I thought you said you weren’t interested in that?" I teased him.

He chuckled. "I thought so, too. But right now, all I’m feeling is how much I want to... devour you—all of you. So before you regret having your first time with me, we better stop this."

"That’s... right."

Alas, our lips parted. Heavy breaths filled the room. We just kissed, but our bodies felt so hot as if it’s burning.

"Haah... Haah... Haah..."

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

Our heartbeats were still loud, but slowly, they began to calm down.

"I’ll... go take a shower," I said hastily and got off of him to run to the bathroom.

As soon as I was inside, I went straight to the shower and turned it on to cool myself. I barely managed to undress myself. I just wanted to cool myself as soon as possible.

’Kim Ye-Ji... what’s got into you?! Why did you do that? Why did you let yourself be tempted?! Why did you kiss him like that?! WAAAA...’

My mind screamed internally, realizing the stupidity of what I had just done. Oh my goodness. If Yoon-Ah learns this, she would definitely kill me.

I kicked the air out of my frustration, but as I did, I only felt the wetness between my thighs—another reminder of my foolishness and lust.

’Urgh... You messed up good this time, Kim Ye-Ji. To think you’d get wet AGAIN and with HIM. Urgh!"

As I reprimanded myself, another fact added salt to my wound.

Everything—they all happened in a freaking MORNING!

It wasn’t even at night!

’You’re hopeless, Kim Ye-Ji. Ugh...’
