Her body ached 70eded8a7b as if she b10a0e2d50 had been beaten 7be891630a all night. She grimaced 326bbd328d and opened a1c82748f0 her eyes, 30ef7f4bcd enduring the c2daf43790 dull pain d4573b1324 below her 4e70468687 waist.ffad774f3effffa8

Simultaneously, she gasped, f0e02a42d8 forgetting the pain c8e8bb71e4 as she saw 22b95bd604 the figure in 536cafde7a front of her. Jung Taeon, the 874854fab5 CEO, was sitting 08b46f772e by the bed 10ead08b89 with her sketchbook adbb2069f3 in his hand 99ca28e52e and a pencil.d5be90a6f4617f0b

With a 0ccb0461a8 deep sigh, 4416c195de her waist 6e2829368f stretched, and 44e34acb2c her tailbone 43702f6a68 ached. Sahee clutched 70c0e42a75 the blanket f7c21627d3 covering her 5faea3779a body and 8ed86add60 hung her 205d234280 head.

Sahee quickly turned her 85ae114b13 head away. The memories of 9fac306289 last night flooded 976c025ca8 back as their c5ed52f166 eyes met.5371e5b726439e3d

One clear memory was that when she shook her head with a crying face, he soothed her by kissing her cheek. His voice, though doing whatever he wanted, was gentle. Like the smile of a man whose eyes didn’t smile, but only the corners of his mouth lifted.0f694efa15f3baf3

Sahee pulled 266bb03665 the blanket d24ac640b2 closer. She wrapped herself c956a564c8 tightly, leaving only 25fb459896 her face exposed. She hardened her gaze, 19ac882fb8 determined not to give 441c246bc0 anything away.9174a79555f95d2d

Sahee’s lips parted.1711018991f74871

Taeon, as if asking 7989096a2d what the problem was, 01aa14960f forcefully pulled off the 33a371c846 blanket Sahee had wrapped 2716d4b709 around herself. She tried to 2709656463 hold onto the 0e8230f05d blanket, but he a0b948e497 was relentless.18847f9d6f6df7d6

There was no escape. With her back completely 89c80b3265 turned to Taeon, Sahee a1e3875c15 was caught by the a3acb8501b waist. Pulled into his arms, b97f57187b she was dragged and 3c82bee34c lay beneath him like cb42ece9eb a dog.

She tried 4f1b5137d0 to push 9955049b3e him away, 151ac15c31 but it b05fbcf4db was no 50ea210749 use. He continued to 33bcdf799d rub her nipple 1683312d9d between his fingers.

The man’s thick hand kneaded her raised buttocks and then spread them wide, teasingly. The dense pubic hair rubbed against her soft skin.65e73f3bc976c424

His large f4965ea7b4 hand gripped c438ad0b62 her buttock 0ea2d3919d firmly. The friction between her 90b52d2b87 thighs sent a burning b9ca877a74 sensation through Sahee.

His casual tone 452612ab9b sharply contrasted with fc910b6624 the brazenness of b4ec193a23 his actions. Sahee could vividly 90ad24a37d picture the hand 6bcdc67cc8 of Jung Taeon—the 1178562168 absurdly large, well-proportioned 30abc65181 fingers with thick d571ed1a7b joints and long, 5e6c013c18 even proportions—just from f5aa970e2f the sensation alone.6611fabc325464a1

By the time she 4776f5e7cd made it back to 257be3b215 her room, it felt c1a5829ca0 like all her strength f981e22268 had been drained. She slid to 745f94d453 the floor, unable cede9cc195 to stand, her 141aca6cbc back pressed against 4cd55b8d77 the door. She didn’t even have 01bea32f70 the energy to change 696c96983b her clothes or wash 3888dbe764 up; she just buried 9062842ffa her face in her 7e673fc24f hands, trying to calm a4f668ddaf her erratic heartbeat.
