Chapter 79: Crazy

***

[Still at Agent Helios POV]

I, Agent Helios, take pride in my calm demeanor, sound judgment, and ability to control myself in any kind of scenario. There was barely anything that could agitate me or make me cloud my judgment and act impulsively.

Yet when it comes to "her" or matters about her... I lose all my reasons.

My do’s and don’ts, my what-ifs and what-nots, my should-haves and should-nots... all gone in an instant.

My years of training and studying, all the skills I learned, and the traits I have acquired... all rendered useless.

Ughhh... What is happening to me?

***

Great rage overcame my heart when I heard Agent Hades say such outrageous words. How dare he say he wanted to bed my wife when I just told him I liked her. Did he think I wasn’t serious with that and I am incapable of having such emotions?

Truthfully, I would think the same if it were the same me a month ago. I probably wouldn’t have cared if he really managed to do so since I never gave a damn about romance. But now... I found myself punching my friend in the face because of it.

His eyes widened as he looked at me with genuine shock at what I did. I could understand why, though. Whenever women bugged me before and tried to flirt with me, I would use him to distract them, and he would happily bed them until they stopped following me. Someone like Agent Selene would have been the same. It should have been the usual thing for him to flirt with the women around me, but... no. Not her.

"Don’t you DARE touch my wife!"

I told him that in the most menacing and furious way I had ever done—especially with him. Never in the many years that we have known each other had I raised my voice against him or threatened him. And yet, I said such cold words to him.

"I won’t forgive it even if it’s you."

I said again towards my closest friend. He was the only one who stayed with me and dealt with all my madness when I lost my brother yet... I managed to say such cruel words to him.

I, myself, was surprised by what I had just done. A little bit of reason came to mind after I did it, but the rage in my heart was still there. My breathing turned heavy, and my body felt hot due to all the blood that rushed through my veins.

A few seconds of silence passed. All we could hear were the rustling of leaves from the trees near us, along with the breeze that tried to cool me down.

"Woah," he marveled while looking at me. "That’s new. I didn’t know you were serious about her. My bad." He raised his hands and shrugged, signifying his surrender. "You should have told me instead of punching me, though. My precious face might have been damaged with that kind of punch. Good thing I managed to lessen the impact of the blow. Ugh. You’re too fast as always."

He rubbed his cheek and gently massaged it. Meanwhile, I tried to inhale deeply a couple of times to calm myself.

"I... uhh. Whatever. I’m going. Start doing your job before you go flirting again—with other women. Not my wife. Ugh. Seriously, you need some help with that libido of yours."

"Yes, your highness," he animatedly said. "But man, you gotta tell me how your heartless self finally learned some human emotions! Since when did you fall for her? And why? What part about her do you like?"

"Shut up. It’s not even THAT kind of like—just a little... interest. That’s all."

His eyebrows raised, obviously doubting what I said.

"Okay. A little interest, huh? If you say so. I understand if you don’t wanna share it with this handsome friend of yours."

Sighing and shaking my head, I left him. I need some peace and quiet—something I would never get with him around. I should go back to my room.

Soon enough, I reached my quarters—the room I share with Ye-Ji’ya. I went straight to the small office where I had seen her earlier. There was nothing much to do, so I thought spending time with her would be more fun than the loud Taehyung’ah.

When I reached the office, I found her gawking by the window.

’What could she be looking at?’

Remembering who was in the garden below that could be seen from the window, I felt angry again.

’Relax, Eun-Woo. She might simply be observing him since she was skeptical about his skills. She’s not checking him out because she’s interested. Between you and that nut job sex addict, you are the much better man.’

Yeah. For some reason, I found myself giving myself a pep talk.

Despite the encouraging words I told myself, I rushed to her side and hugged her from behind.

"Ye-Ji’ya," I softly whispered her name as my hands ran through her waist and locked her body in my embrace.

Feeling the warmth of her body, my lips curved into a satisfied smile all on their own. Not only that, my anger started to disappear. And most of all, I felt quite happy knowing she didn’t flinch at my touch. It only meant that she’s so used to me now.

"Why are you looking at another man, hm?" I teased her with my lips close to her ear. She flinched a little, tickled by my breath. "What an unfaithful wife."

"Ughhh," she groaned as she turned to face me. "It’s because of your amazing friend," she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes. "Look at him flirting with the maids and not doing his job! I thought you trusted him enough to do the job properly. It turns out he’s just a pervert like you."

I peeked at the window and saw that Agent Hades, aka Taehyung, really was fooling around.

"Hm. That’s normal. Let him be. That’s how he gathers intel covertly."

"Really?" she scoffed and raised her eyebrows. "Fine. I’ll give him until this afternoon. If he still hasn’t figured out who the culprit is, I’ll do it myself. We can just use him at the last step of interrogation like a puppet."

’Ha-ha. That’s right. Don’t give a damn about him. He’s not that interesting.’

While my mood lightened at that thought, I saw Agent Hades looking at us. Good thing Ye-Ji’ya was looking at me, so only her back faced the window. I squinted my eyes towards Agent Hades in case he was getting any weird ideas again, but then he grinned at me as if taunting me. It seemed like I didn’t punch hard enough.

Feeling a little pissed again, I looked back at my wife and thought of a wicked idea.

"My dear wife," I smiled as I sweetly called her.

"Eww. Stop calling me that when we’re alone."

"But you are my wife."

"Ugh. Whatever. What is it?"

I grinned mischievously at her question.

"I haven’t received my daily dose of a kiss from you today, right?"

"H-Huh? Umrghhh... that again. Oh well, a deal is a deal," she murmured. "Fine. Yes, you haven’t. Why?"

"My kiss, I want to receive it now."

"Alright. It’s a kiss on the cheeks, though. So don’t think of doing anything funny!"

"Okay."

"Why do I not trust you on that?"

She then leaned closer to kiss my cheek. But of course, I’m too naughty for that. No way would I be satisfied with that.

And so, when she pursed her lips to kiss my cheek, I turned my face just at the perfect timing for her lips to land on mine.

’Ahhh... my wife’s lips are really something. It’s like a drug—so intoxicating.’

Her body jolted when she realized she had kissed my lips. She tried to push me away, but my arms were still chained to her waist.

I pulled her close and devoured her like the hungry beast I was. And as I initially planned, I peeked at Agent Hades’ reaction, who saw us kissing wildly at that moment. My lips curved into an evil grin as I saw him shake his head and raise his hand in surrender.

’That’s right. Back off, you horny dog. She’s mine.’

Unsatisfied with the little warning, I lifted Ye-Ji’s body and made her sit by the window sill. I spread her legs and pushed my body in between, closer to her.

"What the heck are you—"

She tried to complain, but I caught her lips and went deeper with my kiss.

More passionately...

More wildly...

And my hands that seemed to have a mind of their own traveled all over her. I’m not even sure where I’m touching and squeezing.

After that, I pulled the curtain behind her close.

As the room darkened, so did my thoughts darkened with my wicked desires towards her.

’Calm down, Eun-Woo... You’re only going for a kiss—just a kiss and nothing more.’

"Uhmm... Ahhhh... Eun-Woo’ya..."

’F*ck. Why did you have to moan now? My mind is going crazy.’

Before I knew it, I had already lifted her body again and made her straddle me. Then, I carried her to bed as my lips traveled alternately between her lips and her neck.

When we reached the bed, alas, I gently laid her down and pinned her.

"My dear wife," I whispered. "You’re making me crazy."
