Chapter 5.6 

“See? You’re still this wet.”

He whispered in her ear, as if the night was far from over. The stone wall she was leaning on was as cold as ice, making her acutely aware of how hot their bodies were.

“Hold on tight.”

One of her legs was suddenly lifted high.

“Ah, wait!”

The position was humiliating, reminiscent of a dog lifting its leg to urinate. Before she could even process the embarrassment, his member thrust into her. Because of their considerable height difference, her body, pierced by him, was practically suspended in midair, shaking.

“Haa, hngh, ah!”

Once again, pleasure wrapped around her entire body, and her lower half, like an unending spring, grew hot and soaked once more.

Every time his member thrust into her, the veins bulging along its length grazed the folds of her inner walls, delivering an unbearable pleasure.

“Ah, haah…!”

She almost let the words “I like it” slip amidst her moans. Although she hadn’t actually said it, he responded as if he had understood, chuckling softly.

“I knew you’d like it.”

Gripping her chin to tilt her head, he kissed her. Unlike the rough movements of his lower body, the kiss was soft and soothing.

“I’m going to release it. Inside.”

His voice, steady even amidst his rough movements, delivered the brief announcement.

It was far too late a notice. Hadn’t he already done so multiple times without permission?

In truth, she wasn’t mentally prepared for the possibility of pregnancy, but there wasn’t even a moment to think about such practical concerns.

She simply didn’t want to miss out on anything of his.

As the rapidly escalating pleasure overwhelmed her senses, his seed filled her womb completely. The warm liquid trickled down the curve of her b*ttocks and flowed downward.

“Swallow it all.”

Next time, I won’t let it slide. 

He whispered darkly into her ear.

But isn’t he already not letting anything slide…? 

She mumbled in protest, but it was futile. His commanding aura, soaked in superiority as though he were a ruler, threw her mind into disarray.

A mix of wanting to resist and yet wanting to submit.

Kwon Jeong-hyeok was…

A man as contradictory as the night itself.

* * *

The sound of birds chirping reached her ears. It was a common sound in the mornings, given the abundance of trees around the mansion.

Eun-sol tried to lift her eyelids but ended up closing them again. She didn’t want to get up.

‘Just a little longer….’

She was in a half-awake state, feeling drowsy. The mattress pressing against one side of her cheek felt hard.

It was as if she were lying on a flat slab of marble. But for marble, the surface beneath her body felt warm.

‘Is this a heated floor…?’

Her fading consciousness suddenly snapped awake. The last memory she had before falling asleep resurfaced in her mind.

‘Where exactly am I lying right now…?’

Even before confirming anything specific, her pupils began to tremble.

It couldn’t be… could it? 

Her ears grew hot. From the stone floor pressed against her ear, she could hear a thumping sound. It was the sound of a heartbeat. It was definitely not her own heartbeat.

“Ah…!”

Eun-sol quickly rewound the memories of the previous night.

The intimacy that began in the wine cellar’s secret room continued in the bedroom, then moved to the bathroom, and finally took place on the problematic super single bed.

The single bed, too small and fragile to support two people, eventually gave way.

Only after one of the new bed’s legs snapped with a loud crack did the frenzied beast calm down.

Unable to sleep on the floor, they closed their eyes on the broken bed.

The bed was so narrow that he had to pull her on top of his body.

Normally, she would have tried to find another place to sleep, but she was too exhausted to move. In truth, she liked listening to the sound of his heartbeat.

She thought, ‘Just for a moment like this,’ but ended up falling into a deep sleep.

“Ah…!”

Eun-sol blinked, her sleep vanishing instantly.

The hard surface beneath her wasn’t a stone floor—it was Kwon Jeong-hyeok. She was lying directly on top of him, using him as a makeshift bed.

Even though she realized the situation, she couldn’t move. No, knowing it made her body freeze even more.

The sight of his bare skin filling her vision made her dizzy. The only relief was that she wasn’t bare as well; she was still wearing a white slip.

‘What do I do…?’

Even as she tried to think of a solution, the firm rhythm of his heartbeat echoed loudly, asserting its presence.

‘…I can’t stay like this forever.’

If she moved away from the shared warmth, it might wake him. More importantly, what was pressing against her inner thigh was a bigger issue.

She hadn’t moved a millimeter, and neither had he, yet somehow, something hard and firm had nestled itself deeply against her inner thigh.

‘Ah, seriously…!’

Fearing the awkwardness if he woke up, she decided to carefully shift her body. First, she lowered one arm. Gripping the edge of the mattress, she began to lift herself.

“Ah!”

His hand wrapped around her waist. The small gap she had managed to create closed again, their breaths mingling.

“…When did you wake up?”

His deep voice was languid. The drowsiness lacing his tone tickled her heart without care.

“Ah, well…”

She couldn’t find the words to respond, and then his warm breath brushed against her ear. Her lower abdomen tingled from the sensitivity of her ears.

Soon, he gently pulled her chin and kissed her.

“Mmm…”

Moist lips brushed against hers. He lightly licked her lower lip before sliding his tongue inside. Even while kissing, his *rousal persistently pressed against the inside of her thigh.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just how it is.”

Sensing her slight flinch, he chuckled softly and captured her lips again. Contrary to his fierce *rousal, the kiss was tender and sweet.

Perhaps because of that, her body grew even warmer. The desire ignited from last night’s passion started craving something more.

Soon, his fingers slipped under her shirt, gently teasing the sensitive bud. Compared to last night, his touch was incredibly soft.

“Mm… it hurts…”

A groan escaped her lips, a result of the soreness lingering from being tormented all night.

“Should I stop?”

When she didn’t answer right away, he let out a small laugh. His hand leisurely moved between the dark curls below, his fingers twisting her sensitive nub as if pinching it.

“Look at you, getting wet after just a few touches.”

She wanted to deny it, but the sensation of dampness below was undeniable.

“Your body remembers. It knows it’s time to take me in. We used to do this every morning.”

Whether he was joking or being serious, his sly smile made it hard to tell.

Rrrrr-

At that moment, his phone rang.

Startled, Eun-sol sat up as though caught doing something wrong.

Only then did Jeong-hyeok lazily glance at the digital clock hanging on the wall.

8:00 AM

It was well past the time he normally left for work. He reached over to the bedside table and answered the ringing phone.

“Chief Cheon, wait for me. I’ll be down in 15 minutes.”

While he was on the phone, Eun-sol found her cardigan and draped it over her slip. He also got up from the bed.

“What a shame. We’re out of time.”

Eun-sol’s face flushed red. In the bright bedroom light, she noticed things about him she hadn’t seen the night before. There was a rather large scar on his side.

“When did you get that scar?”

“In a car accident.”

“A car accident? When?”

Her brows furrowed with concern. For a scar that old, it was still remarkably visible. Judging by its size, it didn’t seem to have been a minor accident.

“When I was eighteen.”

Eun-sol wanted to ask more, but he changed the subject. It didn’t seem like something he wanted to talk about.

“I’ll be busy for a while. I’ll try to come home as much as I can. No promises, though.”

He headed toward the bathroom. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and added,  

“I’m busy with the merger and acquisition of Shinhwa Construction. I haven’t decided yet whether to proceed with the acquisition.”  

“Yes.”  

Eun-sol nodded pleasantly. It was the first time he had shared anything about his work or schedule.  

“So, I’ll be staying in Seoul more often for the time being. If the merger is finalized, I’ll likely remain in Seoul permanently.”  

Eun-sol nodded a bit more enthusiastically. Of course, she preferred Seoul over the remote seaside mansion.
