Although she was worried about wearing an outfit that was too revealing, the women around her were confidently showing off their beauty, each dressed in elegant and seductive gowns. 

She had only been to a club a few times before her marriage, so she felt a little uncomfortable. But as she reluctantly stepped onto the dance floor and began to move to the music, it wasn’t as bad as she thought. The fast beats echoed loudly through the air. 

As she danced with energy and felt the sweat trickle down her body, it seemed like all the stress was finally fading away. After having some fun with the group, she returned to the private room.

“Oh dear? Looks like you have been kidnapped by your friends. As expected, you’re a quick learner.”

“Let’s enjoy ourselves tonight. It’s a rare company dinner.”

“Yes~”

They clinked their beer bottles and took a drink. Seeing the employees in a good mood made them happy too.

After finishing several bottles of beer, there was a knock and the door opened. The waiter entered.

“Ah, such beautiful ladies. As soon as I brought you in, I was flooded with requests for hunting.”

“Oh! Me! I’ll go!”

Jeong-ah raised her hand.

“Here, this way…”

Jeong-ah quickly grabbed Soo-min’s hand.

“Ah, Jeong-ah.”

“Come on, hurry up. Manager, you should be enjoying yourself at a time like this.”

“But…”

“It’s okay.”

Despite being dragged along, she couldn’t shake her unease.

Just as Jeong-ah was about to enter a room, a waiter gently grabbed Soo-min’s arm.

“This guest has been specially scouted~ A high-ranking VIP is interested in you.”

“What? But I was with Jeong-ah…”

Soo-min hesitated in front of the room. She looked at Jeong-ah, but she didn’t seem to be of any help.

“Manager! I’ll go in first!”

“Ah…”

“Come on, it’s okay. The guests here are all well-behaved, so don’t worry.”

The waiter pushed Soo-min into the room. As the door closed, the loud music outside faded to a low hum, leaving the room eerily quiet.

‘What am I going to do? I have to get out of here.’

She tried to open the door, but it didn’t seem to open. Panic rising, Soo-min shifted her weight anxiously from foot to foot.

“What condition are you in?”

Soo-min jumped back in shock.

‘No way – that voice…’

Turning around, she was stunned to see Beom Yuhyeon sitting at the head of the table, staring straight at her.

“Ah… ah….”

The piercing gaze felt like it was burning through her skin. Was it her imagination, or did he seem angry?

“You’re no different than a b*tch in heat.”

Soo-min’s face turned red.

“What do you mean…?”

“Was my finger not enough for you? On the other hand, I suppose a body like yours can only be satisfied when a c*ck is thrust into it.”

“I told you, it was just a company dinner.”

“A company dinner? Don’t make me laugh. Dressed like that, dancing in front of men – how is that different from seduction?”

“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding…”

“Have you forgotten that your body now belongs to me?”

His lips curled into a grin.

“I know. But I didn’t realise you also controlled what I wore.”

“Well, since you do, from now on don’t wear clothes that show off your figure. It pisses me off.”

“……”

“What are you doing? If you’re in the room, you should sit next to me and drink.”

Yuhyeon tilted her head.

“I’m going now.”

“Come here.”

“……”

“I said sit down.”

Yuhyeon’s voice echoed ominously. With no other choice, Soo-min moved closer and sat down next to him.

“Is this enough?”

“No.”

Yuhyeon’s hand grabbed her waist and suddenly pulled her down, laying her flat. Their eyes met and an intense heat flickered between them.

His fingers traced her lips, making them quiver with tension.

“I don’t like your lips either. Red lipstick, really?”

“I was going to wipe it off – mmph!”

Before she could finish, he devoured her lips as if biting them.

Soo-min jumped, her eyes wide in shock. A rough hand grabbed the back of her head, holding her still as his lips crushed against hers, his tongue forcing its way in.

A kiss…

He kissed her… Beom Yuhyeon was kissing her!

Her heartbeat quickened and a rush of heat coursed through her veins.

Her mind went blank.

The searing warmth of his tongue swept through her mouth, exploring every inch, setting off fireworks that exploded behind her closed eyelids.

He pushed his tongue all the way in, roughly exploring every corner of her mouth. He didn’t leave anything untouched – he traced her upper gums, her palate, the back of her molars and even the underside of her tongue – lapping at everything without hesitation.

The sudden kiss made Soo-min feel like she was losing consciousness.

“I’m going to devour you.”

“Mmph!”

Their lips parted for a moment, only to collide again. His lips crushed against hers, pressing down hard as his tongue relentlessly penetrated her mouth.

She had no idea how to react. Her mind went blank again, completely unable to think.

It had been five years since her last kiss.

Just like back then, when she knew nothing about kissing, she had forgotten how to do it and just parted her lips.

It had been so long since she’d experienced such an intense kiss that she felt completely confused.

When her tongue remained still, Yuhyeon’s gaze became sharper.

He immediately grabbed the back of her head and pushed his tongue deeper, exploring every corner of her mouth.

“Mmph! Mmph…”

Her lips were pressed together so tightly it almost hurt. It was as if he wanted to devour her whole, sucking and swallowing her with fervour.

Their tongues began to move, but hers were just following his lead – completely passive, with no control of their own.

Did he not like that?

He cupped her br*asts tightly.

“Ahh…”

As he continued to kiss her, his fingers gently pressed down on her n*pple. His large hands cupped both of her br*asts, tracing slow, circular movements over them. The sensation drove her mad.

Fluid slowly began to leak from her aroused body. In an instant, she could feel her panties becoming damp.

He pressed his body even closer to hers, increasing the sensation between them. His hardened p*nis bumped against her through the fabric, making his presence unmistakable.

Even with the thin layer of clothing between them, she could clearly feel how hard he was. As he rocked his hips slightly, as if seeking deeper contact, a muffled moan almost escaped her lips.

The heat between her legs grew more intense, each movement making her body more sensitive and desperate for more.

“Ahh…”

Soo-min’s heart pounded wildly.

Yuhyeon kissed her until he was satisfied before finally pulling away. Her face was flushed.

“You’re wet already? We only kissed.”

“Ah… no…”

“Looks like lips aren’t enough for you.”

With eyes dark with lust, Yuhyeon suddenly slipped his hand under her skirt.

Soo-min jumped in shock.

“W-Wait… Yu, Yuhyeon… where is your hand going?”

“Spread your legs. I can’t get my tongue in this way.”

As he forced her thighs apart, she instinctively tried to block him with her hands.

“…Ah! N-No….”

“Should I use my fingers instead?”

“Ahh…”

The moment her panties were quickly removed, her mind went completely blank.

“You’re soaking wet. Look at this. And yet you say no?”

“T-That’s… I mean, when you touch me like this, of course…”

“It’s been what, a month or two since your divorce? Maybe not even three months… and you’re already longing for a man?”

As Yuhyeon teased her cl*t with his fingers, an involuntary moan escaped her lips.

“Ugh…”

“That just means you must have had s*x with your husband a lot. Your body already knows what it wants.”

The moment his finger slipped inside, her vision blurred.

It was only a finger, but the foreign sensation filled her completely. Her thighs instinctively tightened around him as an unbearable heat surged through her body.

Yuhyeon lifted one of her legs onto his shoulder, then began moving his fingers in earnest.

“Ahh…”

“A beautiful sight.”

Soo-min had no time to worry about how she looked.

Pinned beneath Yuhyeon, she gasped and moaned, her panties still tangled around one leg.

Shame and embarrassment burned through her, but the undeniable heat coursing through her veins was pure, unfiltered desire.

A body that knew a man’s touch.

A woman starved of s*x for five years.

A b*tch in heat – just like he said.

Soo-min’s breathing became ragged.

Watching her with amusement, Yuhyeon smiled.

Then, without warning, he lowered his head between her thighs.

Soo-min’s legs closed instinctively.

“Spread them wider. I can’t lick you like this.”

Wait… was he really going to go down on her?

Her vision blurred in shock.

Her head was spinning.

She hadn’t showered after sweating – she felt uncomfortable.

“Stop… not here, please.”

“But you’re already aroused, aren’t you?”

“L-Later… let’s do it at the hotel.”

“What a shame.”

Yuhyeon frowned.

Taking advantage of the moment, she wriggled out of his tight grip on her thighs and quickly pulled her panties back on.

“If I come back too late, my team members will be worried. I should go now.”

She quickly straightened her dishevelled clothes.

Yuhyeon got up as well.

She looked at him hesitantly.

“Then let’s go.”

“Huh?”

Soo-min tilted his head in confusion and Yuhyeon narrowed his eyes.

“Let’s sit together.”

“W-Wait, Beom Yuhyeon, right now…?”

Yuhyeon walked briskly towards the room where the team members were drinking. As if he already knew the exact location, he found it without any hesitation.

With a push, he opened the door and the team members who had been drinking all turned their attention to him.

“Oh my! Manager… What’s going on? How did this happen?”

“I happened to see some familiar faces, so I thought I’d take the liberty of joining you, if you don’t mind.”

“O-Of course! That sounds great!”

“Drinks are on me tonight. Enjoy as much as you like.”

The team members did not seem uncomfortable with Yuhyeon’s sudden presence. On the contrary, they seemed happy to have the opportunity to get to know him.

He was the man who controlled the wealth of the Russian tycoon Vladimir – a figure believed to be even more influential than some of the most powerful conglomerate families in Korea.

“Did you come alone?”

“I came with others, but I’m the only one who comes here.”

“Oh my! What if they come looking for you?”

“They’re all too busy talking people away, so don’t worry about that.”

“Oh, by the way, did you get the flowers earlier? Our boss arranged them, so I’m sure you liked them.”

Ah, the flowers – she only remembered them now.

Soo-min’s gaze shifted subtly to Yuhyeon.

As Yuhyeon looked at Soo-min, he slowly brushed his lips with the back of his hand. She couldn’t explain why, but there was something undeniably seductive about the gesture. He looked incredibly sexy.

Their eyes met in the air. Though it seemed like a fleeting glance, she could still feel the lingering heat in his gaze.

For some unknown reason, a dull pain spread through the intimate area hidden beneath her panties. Without realising it, she clenched her thighs.

His intense and persistent gaze felt like it was piercing through her clothes, as if he could see the bare skin beneath.

She felt embarrassed as she remembered how breathlessly she had kissed Yuhyeon just moments ago.
