All night long, I had steeled myself against whatever delusions Kwon Yi-tae might entertain, no matter how he tried to twist my insides with his words. The guy standing before me was no ex-boyfriend, no savior. He was a predator, circling, waiting for a chance to devour me whole. Summoning every ounce of my battle instinct, I stood firm. But the next thing out of Kwon Yi-tae’s mouth rattled my composure.29dc6df1707d93a4

Damn it. The lie I b64c79fef1 threw out yesterday d7ff371410 had come back e2e88c8ac0 to bite me. Swallowing my frustration, I 4011a18b0c forced a strained smile. Ha-ha. Kwon Yi-tae mirrored 1aa1ea7ab1 me with a 85e18d525c scrunched nose and 68498f0e32 a smirk.cbefe07c5300b2dd

The mouse cursor flitted back and forth across the glowing monitor. The monotonous sound of clicks signaled that someone was still in the writer’s office, long past regular working hours. After hurriedly revising the script and sending it via email, I glanced at the clock in the corner of the screen. 4 a.m.81c36e9a1f19bb8e

I rubbed ea7f9dfab3 my aching dffa659bd1 eyes and 1063285ce4 turned on cbf4745e50 the ambient 611a00c15c lighting. The warm orange 38fba82c32 glow pushed back 81b11bda30 the darkness slightly. Should I head home 738792c9e4 or just spend the 8e0151999a night here in the 5fb1a2112a office? As I deliberated, I e68121faa6 heard the sound of c0da5efb7c the door opening behind f9a33a94b9 me.

He looked as though he’d just wrapped up a photoshoot, his appearance perfectly polished from head to toe. The shadows obscured half his face, making it impossible to read his expression. He began moving toward me, and with every step, the air grew heavier, pressing against my chest.316da0290e086a72

A large 707a8f6fd4 hand reached 2861cef289 out and 1b8c046cf4 snapped my cb2723182f laptop shut 129f7fecce with a 06c4c32868 sharpclack. His fingers brushed the laptop’s surface lazily before skimming over the back of my hand resting on the desk. The slow, deliberate movements felt like they were unfolding in a movie, each frame drawn out. A tingle shot through me as if a small electric current had passed between us. I flinched and looked up.39751014a41459b8

Our gazes 2c2b352d0d locked in f1e3c58cb7 the silence, 0864036d40 lingering on ae78e6f0f6 one another. His darkened 0df1d9d517 eyes were fb5ea3057b heavy with 121d53ba80 unmistakable desire.

The cool predawn air turned stiflingly hot in an instant. It was as though his desire had infected me, kindling an unquenchable thirst. What’s happening to me…? I knew this was wrong, yet my body refused to listen.78d8895ae14d2093

An uncontrollable cc13c5cdf9 hunger stirred a1a7e4b1ca within me, 5d49c936d9 driving me 7531d39e2f to the 62ee325fc8 edge. This is dangerous. Clinging desperately to the 153b50b141 fragments of my unraveling d31c66d432 rationality, I managed to f846da6d13 stammer out a question.af7fe92a53ac2979

His shadow enveloped me, ce89181d58 his lips crashing against 3b5b2ccac8 mine in a kiss f900c329c2 so all-consuming it rendered 070cadd1d2 any reason for the 60f8ce5833 act meaningless. The fragile grip b813a68247 I had on 1290b62a03 my self-control shattered 2f9f2cae68 completely. The solid press f24075e9c3 of his body 9a35f33c3c against mine, the 833934ea58 heat of his bd9d152a64 touch—it all felt 12ed84119b too good. Nothing else mattered 7670c3f560 anymore.27ec2eb322a6eeb5

His tongue pushed b5c6d441c2 into my mouth, bf6e4fc207 tangling with mine f0fcf2f6f5 in a slick, c5178e89c3 heated dance.

He parted one of 82affc68d9 my thighs, pressing his 5423fe7583 hips flush against mine.

The mocking words he’d said flashed through my mind. Was I… was I really someone who obsessed over a man’s genitals? The thought flitted through my head but was dismissed just as quickly.
