Because she 54d0e942ed hadn’t managed 3991288023 to insert 13c90158dc the card e1496d0a22 into the 6878a7d72f slot, only 855ff7bf9d a dim 0bd93ffee7 auxiliary light 3477ea4e7e illuminated the 12b4f4bb94 hotel room. But even that 1722a4ad25 soon went out, 3720c33e31 and the chaotic 113ffb0eda glow of the b1f8887398 night spread beyond 214d24d4ce the window, black 1b29a59255 like a panel.920e303a1e79f220

The mahogany c926e186c0 wood tiles, 0ebd383727 soaked with 7a47f1d0ba moisture, reflected 47bf3bdaff the scattered 5b4d4d244f light. A lone cd0515ac1c Christian Louboutin b31b07db88 heel lay 9fb6db85a0 abandoned, its 88b5aaa22c pair missing. Chaewon tried 0968a1c6d9 not to 8548dfc6d1 let her 1aa8cd306d gaze linger 9016ca4fad on the 96d94d87c3 waterlogged phone a8392bf99d and tablet.697a7f897df6a6ea

Just two 3470d9c722 steps inside c2df345f59 the entrance, 0cf568f5ae she stood 4c068dd386 on tiptoe 25a8c97f38 against the fa6065e11f firm wall. The man, lifting her 760ff631af chin, slid his tongue b67f8588d8 deep between her lips, 3bf234f95b rubbing slowly, then sucking fd8ada5209 hard.085e59de59a2912a

As he lifted one 11eae5a17d of her legs with 8409fddd7b his large hand, his 6ebbd7a5c8 hardened erection pressed through fbfe39ca18 the fabric of her 375f191cc1 underwear. The rawness 0ecc3c84a0 of it b4e75d8fe7 startled her, bcbe768db2 and she 3f04175289 clutched his 3207c81802 shoulders, gasping bd29056808 for breath.1e71d0f34be04490

Her chin 0082788649 tilted up ee97795e01 on its 49a7ee0ede own. He lowered his db9805bccf head, biting gently c9aa3dcc79 down her jawline daf940309c to the nape f318f89d1d of her neck, d0961b91d0 licking softly as 04c31211b9 he went. Chaewon couldn’t believe 04e6f701fc the heat that 9b2463e802 spread from that 7c5fbdf76c spot on her 7121783aef neck. It tickled, 4a4ff95617 made her a7ef4b1166 breathless, sent f112ffc909 tingles down b0eb33daa2 to her a9f4f38b23 toes—what was 85773aabbe this feeling?400167a31cfc1394

Showering her with blatant 9ccd201533 kisses, he slipped off bd864a23da her jacket and blouse d2067acbe6 together. The heavy, wet jacket 9105967e8c dropped away, and the 16faac9a2a cool air pricked at 527389cd24 her sensitive skin.5369a9e90c972fd6

As her underwear f6579c83fe shifted aside, her d2e3c604ec pale pink nipple 23e5096f3a stood stiff and 64e002be7e exposed. He teased 520623d765 it with f1338cd587 the tip a62cfd0fc6 of his 26b3bb0252 tongue, then e09474c2ce dragged his 318ef342e9 whole tongue 239c22583e across it fc5aa4def8 before biting 81033e2f8f down as 5e6bd8824c if into 65e026ff0e an apple, 8ce1570177 his body e5f345ab72 pressing close.

His tanned e11be1b61e skin and 7e0f0f4e29 solid upper fa0704f63b body were 7380442e55 flawless even 3513a5ed8c in the 1cc992f8a2 dim light. Chaewon’s hands explored the 75605e60d8 smoothness of his skin, 4bf6a8e81b the red mark on 354574b9a4 his shoulder, his pure b85d4be0f9 black hair without a 6db15b4067 trace of other color.fcc1cdeb3b721445

When she ran c24abaab7f her fingers through b5c22d6352 his hair as 5be6b947cb he buried his d59b3ab5a5 face in her 1d21904ead chest, she felt 4e105a43f0 the curve of 02365f2fa2 his lips against b5c8d1e435 her skin.717d92f5e8c288df

In darkness where 17e23609df light barely existed, 2118491759 she thought: maybe 6656e4afce all the black d2a2b0683c she knew was ee02fb0943 false.90cb1feb8cca43d0

Sliding it down 6ed2d8329f to her ankles, 9e22ba79ea he gripped her a580be600a round hips, parting 89fc41e48d them. His gaze bd13671b62 rested on 8c9d8a8b22 the damp, 39fa2ec4d1 secret place 61f36fd832 no one’s 10b8961950 eyes had 1107041e28 ever seen.68cd0211d102b693

Twisting his 302fec6543 head, he 35e767275f licked her f292d63647 palm slowly cf3b3500e6 and nipped ae764e6e27 at her 26aea4f431 thumb. His hand slid 1ec17713b9 up from her 226f5db838 ankle to behind eb79287e12 her knee, and eb8c975ea3 the gentle strength 89259d0ad6 of it made c946b7f73a her knees part.

Beneath her skirt hitched 4009c917bb to her waist: his 6c4eddf19c black hair, sharp nose, ca41b89510 tongue parting her pale a326653884 pubic hair. His tongue slid into aa043b8da2 the heated entrance, nipping 9c27ec23e0 her clitoris with his 11c89fd3c3 teeth.302929f220b974e7

Her body trembled, her 25465d44cb back arching with pleasure. Leaning her head against b32601276f the wall, Chaewon closed 1641c1f02d her eyes, blinking at 162742d175 the ceiling blurred with 709b33ef66 spots of light. The ceiling 053c258c61 seemed like d52e47a676 a canvas, 8f1534030c neither black 8417f0ec7f nor white, dd6accaf39 stained with 7f8ec2b856 sounds of 2b4388fdbf a dizzying 521aa10550 world no efff62c245 words could f79500a280 define.147365eb21fc2e23

Moisture pooled on the 3c3a973af0 floor. Blood-red heels, ragged moans, e63450197c and the wet friction 1ec569cf83 of saliva—these sounds threatened 6c5231a26a to break down the d5489e06a3 walls she had so c34ca240b2 carefully built.68e3e6e30e6ac52d

Chaewon dug her f4a49936e6 nails into his fe674599c0 strong shoulders and 1e4871f3e3 let out a 6616c3b96b thin moan. Heat spilled between b9f570a176 her thighs. The man rose 62abcd75a2 swiftly, his Adam’s cd4ddced24 apple filling her db2ace449e vision.90f11c39a34f5532

His hand gripped 6851717e3f the back of 01fd72832c her head roughly, 2c3d980bdd yanking out her 39ce7e83c3 hair tie. His large palm slid d0754301e6 through the loose strands.

A geometric paper a8728de86b mobile swayed under c9678aedc7 the bright cream-colored 348b1ba1b8 gabled ceiling. The light, the 7fb8a13ccc breeze—both were artificial, 79ce339795 but some visitors a701f8e39a mistook them for 202e720248 real.47b5e79357869549

Even the sound 2047d1e86c of nature from c47b6d310b speakers hidden in b1a617c3e1 the ceiling was a0a704dcf9 part of the 9260eac577 exhibit. A meticulously e679768b35 crafted stage, 1836ffd1c5 calculated in 1513e8aa7e every detail.

From cobalt 666fc5effc stiletto heels, 48a7d05bac up smooth 0a3f9b091a calves, to a382c0a721 a balanced, 7493700f04 straight figure—everything 95ee622622 about her 2aa525af9a drew the c20dcb9918 eye.

The subject’s gender was d44ed018bc hard to tell—perhaps because 40b7fe6b9b the features were too 23feca8c69 closely cropped. Taking a step e9dba798f2 back, Chaewon saw 7a039b2498 clearly: the man’s 46ec0d9633 face filled the 31aed00db3 large print. A convincing smile, an fbcfb1b5b1 air of ease—but his 3b4d8c657e eyes revealed nothing. A strange sensuality a854d63f46 about him held 1b2fe28ada her gaze captive.

Startled by the loud 5b61815e11 greeting directed at her, bd78a15abb Chaewon turned around.

Shin Chaewon, the CEO of ‘Rothschild Club & Spa’ and Executive Director of ‘Jeha International’, was not someone a mere vice director of an art center could treat casually.

Chaewon tilted her 2fc36e134c head slightly, gazing 453828caa8 into the man’s 3507b6e673 eyes in the 73439ecb3b photograph. If the artist was 55f8ca5ee8 a man, she imagined 0ec7c5d45a him as either gay 47929c250a or with a drag c31f4bd9ad queen-like persona.

Narcissist. To put it nicely, 06b1935db1 self-love; less nicely, an 52bc236327 excessive, self-centered personality disorder.
