Masquerader Chapter 18

Their breaths intermingled between barely parted lips. Seol-ah locked eyes with him and spoke.  

 

“One moment, I was the perpetrator; the next, I was the victim. And all I had to do was stay put while everything got taken care of. It was dizzying, but honestly, kind of convenient. If not for that, I’d probably be in a detention center by now or hastily shipped off somewhere to study abroad.”  

 

“…….”  

 

“But the people doing all this for me… are Seo Gyo-jin’s family, of all people. That’s not normal, is it? It’s not like I had something so valuable with you that you’d abandon your own brother for me.”  

 

Seo Tae-shin simply listened, his gaze locked onto hers. The longer she stared into his unreadable eyes, the more her curiosity grew.  

 

“What’s your motive? There has to be one.”  

 

“…….”  

 

What’s your reason?  

 

If you were going to do this, then why did you treat me that way back then?  

 

She had tried not to ask, afraid of making herself sound pathetic and miserable. But in the end, she failed.  

 

“Is it because you feel guilty?”  

 

The question, which had been swelling in her throat, finally burst out against her will. And the moment the words left her lips, she regretted it.  

 

Because for the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in Seo Tae-shin’s eyes. Not guilt, not remorse—just pure confusion.  

 

“Is there something I should feel guilty about?”  

 

“…….”  

 

“What?”  

 

Seol-ah averted her gaze, turning to stare blankly at the wall ahead. Would she have felt different if he had given another answer? Who knows… She wasn’t sure.  

 

“Or is it that you just want to sleep with me?”  

 

She asked, her eyes fixed on the shadows stretching across the living room.  

 

The large hand that had been caressing her flat belly had already slid dangerously low, hovering just above her mound.  

 

It was a precarious spot—close enough that he could slip between her legs at any moment, yet he held back, exuding the patience of a seasoned hunter waiting for the perfect moment.  

 

It was a foolish and pathetic question. She knew exactly what had been pressing stiffly between her thighs all this time.  

 

What was the point of asking?  

 

“What’s with all the fuss over sex?”  

 

Her voice dripped with exhaustion and disdain.  

 

“I’m sick of it.”  

 

“Hey.”  

 

Seo Tae-shin grabbed Seol-ah’s chin to force her to look at him. As their gazes locked again, his throat prickled as if he’d inhaled a thick, acrid cloud of cigarette smoke.

 

“As long as I have a dick, I’ll think the same thing every time I see you. Guaranteed.”

 

If it hadn’t been for the intoxicating scent wafting from the man’s nape, she would have coughed violently by now.

 

“Did you feel that way too? From the first time you saw me in the mountains?”

 

“I told you. As long as there’s a dick, it’s all the same.”

 

“……”

 

“From the moment I decided to leave the office and come here today, it has been standing like this, about to explode. It’s the first time I’ve lost control like this—it’s absurd.”

 

Seo Tae-shin muttered lowly, gripping the distinct bulge of his erection through his pants.

 

“Want to see how much of a mess I am?”

 

The outline was blatantly visible, leaning to the left. The fabric at the end of the thick silhouette was soaked in a darker, circular stain compared to the rest.

 

It didn’t take long for Seol-ah to realize it was from the man’s pre-cum. At the same time, she felt a sharp twinge deep in her stomach.

 

“……”

 

With Seol-ah seated on one of his thighs, Seo Tae-shin tilted his head and licked her earlobe. Her shoulders tensed at the wet, sticky sensation.

 

As if merely rubbing his cock through his pants wasn’t enough, his hot, thick tongue soon burrowed into her ear canal.

 

“……Hngh.”

 

Seol-ah jerked her head back and covered her ear with her palm.

 

“You don’t like it?”

 

It wasn’t dislike—it was strange. A precarious feeling, as if the buzzing sound in her ear might start. Though it always arrived without warning, this eerie tension before the eardrums vibrated felt oddly similar.

 

Seol-ah kept her hand over her ear and lowered her gaze. If all Seo Tae-shin wanted was sex, she didn’t need to obsess over his intentions. In a world full of annoyances, agonizing over someone else’s motives was exhausting.

 

If her constant defensiveness was just her body reacting… that wasn’t so bad.

 

“Do you need me to confirm how much of a mess you are?”

 

“Every action comes with responsibility.”

 

“You got yourself hard, so why blame others?”

 

When she replied indifferently, Seo Tae-shin rested his forehead against her nape and chuckled lowly.

 

“Looking for logic from a guy this hard? At this level of arousal, most men lose their minds.”

 

“You seem that way.”

 

“I am taking that as a compliment.”

 

…As if.

 

When she glared at him incredulously, he arrogantly lifted his chin and smirked. His relaxed demeanor sparked unnecessary competitiveness. Pushing hesitation aside, Seol-ah spoke.

 

“Take it off first. I’ll check how much of a mess you are to ruin your pants like that.”

 

A peculiar smile curled at Seo Tae-shin’s lips.

 

“You won’t be able to refuse.”

 

“Confident, aren’t you?”

 

“With a body like this, humility isn’t easy.”

 

Seo Tae-shin leisurely unbuckled his pants, unfazed by Seol-ah’s blatant stare. Neither embarrassed nor hurried, he parted the fabric.

 

The trapped cock sprang free, bouncing upward and pressing tightly against his abs. Though hard to judge at a glance, it was excessively large. From his broad shoulders, thick neck, chest concealed under his shirt, threatening forearms, and hands—every part of him was proportionally large, making his massive cock seem almost inhuman in length and girth.

 

As Seol-ah stared at the erection with slight disgust, Seo Tae-shin shook her waist soothingly.

 

“Well, do you like what you see?”

 

Does this look like a face that likes it?

 

Seol-ah tore her gaze from his cock and looked at him. She hadn’t fully grasped his personality yet, but he seemed self-absorbed.

 

“How tall are you?”

 

“Curious about my height instead of my dick?”

 

Seo Tae-shin snickered, licking her jaw below her ear. He didn’t answer.

 

“Everything about you is too big.”

 

“Better than being small, no?”

 

His cock twitched threateningly against his abs as he laughed. Pre-cum glistened thickly over the swollen glans before dripping down the shaft. The viscous fluid pooling along the veined surface looked obscenely erotic.

 

“It’s grotesque.”

 

“You’ll grow to love it.”

 

Seo Tae-shin gripped the base of his cock while nibbling her neck. His large hand stroked the slick shaft slowly, the sticky friction overly lewd.

 

Before his pace quickened, Seol-ah flinched and said,

 

“Take off your shirt too.”

 

He kept one hand on his cock and the other on her hip, caressing her bony pelvis.

 

“You do it. I’ll let you strip me as much as you want.”

 

Seol-ah shifted on his thigh to face him. His cock now pressed close to her lower stomach, its girth stark against her smaller frame. If aligned with her abdomen, it might reach her sternum.

 

As she lowered her hand, his cock twitched as if begging to be touched. Seol-ah brushed past it, tugged his shirt free, and began undoing the buttons.

 

“Teasing me like this… how do you plan to handle what comes next?”
