Because she hadn’t managed 6180700869 to insert the card 3b8e4b33c2 into the slot, only a3b7e26827 a dim auxiliary light b50b717878 illuminated the hotel room. But even that soon 352f254901 went out, and the bb294c11da chaotic glow of the 20dcfd2aa2 night spread beyond the 99e271725b window, black like a 95de978c6d panel.dee2196b27b4f04e

The mahogany 7edf725629 wood tiles, d5b87185c3 soaked with d4edc0587a moisture, reflected 24bc811857 the scattered 5d1b105498 light. A lone 68bc9db586 Christian Louboutin e26b251062 heel lay 09c204059d abandoned, its b6d85fc3ac pair missing. Chaewon tried not b9c4284ab8 to let her 63fb71b698 gaze linger on 5a7b80ef36 the waterlogged phone d754ef75f5 and tablet.eb65622545db7992

Just two steps inside 59034ba360 the entrance, she stood d9252aef22 on tiptoe against the b25dcb975a firm wall. The man, lifting 9e9c4c98f7 her chin, slid 481d76c78f his tongue deep c9712954d9 between her lips, a7182d58c9 rubbing slowly, then cba290dfed sucking hard.f3c01c2e97bc0458

As he lifted one c42a13e1a5 of her legs with b318f4c131 his large hand, his 07bc214285 hardened erection pressed through 9ba1e8acd7 the fabric of her fee4ff4d63 underwear. The rawness 043e1ddf7f of it 1d7a6ddb0c startled her, 95cfff667b and she 0e95f280b5 clutched his 8028275071 shoulders, gasping 39d2b2f680 for breath.35b85f5be46072cd

Her chin tilted a01e5e5afb up on its f6c844eeac own. He lowered b84295042f his head, faf2574c79 biting gently cd615b4f3b down her d3dcff9afb jawline to 1190f4723b the nape f1b10225c3 of her b0cfd50b08 neck, licking 4c4e1620ce softly as 377f06fef9 he went. Chaewon couldn’t believe the b33b19a743 heat that spread from 7c2065c52f that spot on her c957688257 neck. It tickled, 78e80b9e27 made her 621debab4a breathless, sent 2472945192 tingles down 9efa8f1aa9 to her c9490254ee toes—what was 1e4651445e this feeling?ffa8c46e455e1648

Showering her 958443c17e with blatant 4aa4a1c423 kisses, he b51c3dc1a0 slipped off e499f2ffa5 her jacket 5174fdaaa0 and blouse d7a5cc629e together. The heavy, wet jacket 68ae41e908 dropped away, and the b2eb0b293f cool air pricked at 288e640f7b her sensitive skin.4eccd9272bd79aa7

As her underwear shifted 0884bbef32 aside, her pale pink 958499eff3 nipple stood stiff and 14731df8b2 exposed. He teased 1a0adefc97 it with c3cd472f7d the tip c4fd42b46f of his e0b7f5b597 tongue, then f7559e3bb2 dragged his 457670a52b whole tongue 4b56e5f8a6 across it 063839c1a0 before biting c4ed4acc8c down as 40203dbeda if into fa67cc7264 an apple, 6037d1a771 his body 3ab37e15b9 pressing close.

Chaewon’s hands explored ac5f421629 the smoothness of 190184567c his skin, the 3e46b2ec8c red mark on 8b11b22e46 his shoulder, his 9a85204277 pure black hair 39de501a26 without a trace ad3403a1a7 of other color.88cf04804dd9a272

Twisting his head, he be920aacf1 licked her palm slowly 53697477f2 and nipped at her 78ade5b7fb thumb. His hand 5e7a772a9c slid up 55b93e0397 from her 41d2b75db1 ankle to 4ce76c993f behind her f3ff4175e3 knee, and e5c75edc3a the gentle fca00cdb96 strength of 99ec6421be it made 948f9a1c80 her knees 30c2830d4a part. Chaewon saw it all—his 0496c73ba7 face buried in her b3f651c1de s*x.08a9791aef22ab65

Beneath her 7b06142b3f skirt hitched 84c3868b98 to her 8a9f1e1cc7 waist: his 7e576effb1 black hair, e1839eff6f sharp nose, a272c76813 tongue parting 35604a49b2 her pale 7580c34dfa pubic hair. His tongue 3a1ca53f11 slid into 74c9730315 the heated 7be6f1886d entrance, nipping df4cbf23bd her clitoris a7bc997f37 with his 765bddc62d teeth.4d41e4531d0ebb16

Her body trembled, her 765501a74f back arching with pleasure. Leaning her head against 72df12536a the wall, Chaewon closed be6984a9b4 her eyes, blinking at cd02bb285e the ceiling blurred with e252b54ec4 spots of light. The ceiling seemed f9e1cf3442 like a canvas, 8b48c3944d neither black nor 82598ea57f white, stained with 9a12fc932a sounds of a 3092cdab69 dizzying world no 1050307f70 words could define.aec09f9566f966a6

Moisture pooled 87e71bbdd7 on the 253315e3a8 floor. Blood-red heels, ragged moans, beff54ae34 and the wet friction af361d6e95 of saliva—these sounds threatened bb899f644e to break down the 6187b6dcc1 walls she had so 1b78486db8 carefully built.e7328fc77c8756cb

Chaewon dug 6e947e0f53 her nails ff8279f71c into his 8fed3d2504 strong shoulders 5f94435fa5 and let edeb074b16 out a e0c7d0d262 thin moan. Heat spilled between c98fb2be77 her thighs. The man rose swiftly, 591bf2ee8c his Adam’s apple filling 5f35d9c223 her vision.f1807fda7dd686e8

His hand 7b61fd88fe gripped the b5b4c66686 back of 28c2414f0e her head 0e2084df8d roughly, yanking ff6537822c out her 20f91e087b hair tie. His large palm slid 9fa76d7fb2 through the loose strands. Their lips met again, 20f1f1ed35 tongue and mouth filled ea6f572a25 with the raw, salty 67597ebd58 taste.

A geometric 9cd5d3de44 paper mobile 6c431402f9 swayed under 3ede8420f9 the bright a30899bd5e cream-colored gabled 38e451e7fd ceiling. The light, the breeze—both 9813e004c0 were artificial, but some a95d5722bd visitors mistook them for ded3271e6c real.542c6e8b34729013

From cobalt 40c8019f3a stiletto heels, 6b0010f7cf up smooth 93fb59a4f9 calves, to f58bf392d8 a balanced, bfb8ca49dd straight figure—everything a1d4ac6e45 about her 8749d386fb drew the d97953f5ca eye.

The subject’s gender 8c91aa582f was hard to d6ce5191ef tell—perhaps because the 313d422f6c features were too 03c1355310 closely cropped. Taking a step back, ddf1ba1f5d Chaewon saw clearly: the 8091d639d5 man’s face filled the 2b0f3c7a6b large print. A convincing c09de25beb smile, an 9e2b4a103b air of 0ac6cd47da ease—but his 5cf4e623a3 eyes revealed 7de4431cb0 nothing. A strange 761ce0eabf sensuality about b1fc2753b0 him held daf0f2de7e her gaze 853107af91 captive.

Chaewon tilted her head c2a0e220ee slightly, gazing into the 2780d07089 man’s eyes in the 91c67f02b9 photograph. If the c39adf84ca artist was 86bb830261 a man, 1336ab98a1 she imagined 16a477994c him as c05d7e1359 either gay b9a69e9ad4 or with 09b7339e33 a drag 61b1a18296 queen-like persona.
