Chapter: 15
 Acting Up
The beautiful, sensual sight before him was enough to make his throat go dry. Hyeonseo swiftly pulled off his shirt and tossed it aside. Taeyeon, who had been staring blankly, slowly licked her lips.
âWhat are you doing right now?â
Her mind refused to function; she couldnât even remember what nonsense she had been spouting moments ago. But Hyeonseo, diligent as ever, reviewed the terms and stepped closer.
âFine. Iâm an expensive man. Iâd appreciate it if you kept that in mind.â
âHaha⊠that depends on how you perfoâ Ah!â
Chuckling under his breath, he buried his face against the swell of her breasts. She tensed instinctively, her breath hitching as her lungs seemed to shrink while her chest rose sharply.
âIsnât the employer a bit too nervous?â
âThatâs because⊠youâŠâ
Her lips parted to speak, but in the next instant her breast was drawn into his mouth. The same breast sheâd once heard Yoonwoo nursed from daily. Plump and soft, as though milk might spill out if squeezed. The firm peak brushed against him, provoking.
He wanted to suck until it nearly came off. This was sex begun with intentâthere was no reason to hold back. Gripping her breast, Hyeonseo brought it fully to his mouth.
âAh⊠ahh⊠haâŠâ
He lifted Taeyeon effortlessly into his arms. Striding to the bed, he laid her down almost roughly. Her body curled instinctively, trying to hide her fully exposed chestâbut below, she wore nothing but a pair of square-cut panties.
Ah!
Lying there, she looked up at him. He undid his belt in one swift motion and climbed over her in only his drawers. Solid. Handsome. Her breathing grew shallow beneath him.
Why last night? Why did he act that way? Was it really jealousy?
She placed her hands on his shoulders and met his gaze. It wasnât just her limbs that were intoxicatedâher eyes were hazy too. A man already handsome seemed even more so. Stroking his firm shoulders, she asked softly,
âYesterday⊠why did you do that?â
âA compensation instinct.â
His eyes were serious, but hers were too blurred with drink to take in everything he said. Still, at the word âcompensation,â she frowned slightly.
âHmph. You really like compensation. Fine, Iâll compensate you. So if you⊠Director⊠feel upset or hurt because of me, you want to be compensated like this⊠with my body⊠ha⊠is that it?â
âWouldnât that be fair, Assistant Manager Min?â
His gaze darkened with a subtle heat as he looked down at her. Taeyeon nodded vaguely before arching her neck back. He was sucking so hard it felt like her nipple might fall off.
Her hips twisted; her legs tangled together.
âHey, Assistant Manager Min.â
âYes, DirectorâŠâ
Hearing her call him by his title was strangely provocative. Had she always had such tastes hidden inside? Even as she answered vaguely, she kept repeating it.
âDirector.â
âThat title doesnât suit this situation. Not when Iâm sucking you like this.â
âUgh! Youâre right. Saying âDirectorâ while having sex⊠hey, calling me Assistant Manager doesnât suit this either.â
She grabbed his hair and tugged as if to rip it out. Despite the sting that felt like his hair might come loose, Hyeonseo allowed her to hold him there.
âAh! Are you not letting go?â
âThen⊠fire me. Pay the penalty⊠mm. Give it to me⊠and fire me⊠haâŠâ
They were bound by contract, employer and employeeâa vertical relationship, yes, but not one where words couldnât be spoken. Besides, wasnât this a job she couldnât be fired from for two years?
Her mind, foggy as if submerged underwater, tried to argue logically. But her tongue was growing clumsier, twisting on its own.
âCheeky. You keep acting up.â
The word slipped from Hyeonseoâs mouthâsomething he rarely said. This was no longer a situation salvaged by one person maintaining decorum. He licked along her nape and pressed his body fully against hers. Even as a moan escaped her at the contact, she shot back,
âSo what?â
âAre you acting up because you know I canât fire you?â
âHehe⊠maybe.â
She lifted her leg and brushed it along his thigh, dragging her toes slowly from his thigh down to his calf. He swallowed hard. His tight abdomen flexed, and beneath it his desire hardened unmistakably.
âYouâre provoking me properly. Assistant Manager Min might not sleep tonight.â
âItâs not like Iâd be the only one unable to sleepâŠâ
He covered her lips with his. She had begun this provocation resolutely, but the moment their lips met, her soft body trembled involuntarily. He pressed down at her hips. Their bodies, separated only by thin fabric, fit tightly together.
His lips traced her jawline down to her neck. Each time he nibbled and sucked at her delicate skin, her breath caught. Her chest rose and fell, the dizzying curve below it leading downward.
Her panties were peeled away and flung beneath the bed. When his breath brushed against her most sensitive place, she gasped. Extending his tongue, he teased the tight bud lightly with its tip.
Each time his wet tongue touched and withdrew, the cool air that followed made her body clench harder. She twisted.
Ah⊠do something⊠how long is he going to keep teasing like this?
The stimulation was merciless. Better if he would just properly suckâ
As her chest heaved unconsciously, he gathered both breasts in his hands and sucked hard.
A sharp sensationâpain and pleasure tangled togetherâstruck her intensely. She didnât even remember when her panties had come off. Only that when her legs were spread wide, his damp lips touched her below.
Caught off guard, as he drew her into his mouth, her vision flashed white. Each time he licked upward and sucked again, her body tightened fiercely.
His fingers brushed around her entrance as he murmured low,
âIncredibly stimulating. I almost want to show you how desperately youâre opening up, asking to be filled.â
âHow can you say something so vulgar⊠mm⊠DirecâŠtorâŠâ
âIf Assistant Manager Min can be like this, why canât I?â
Taeyeon was completely undone, yet in his eyes she was nothing but beautiful.
âYour drinking habits are terrible.â
She may have been drunk, but even soâwho would have imagined sheâd boldly declare she would buy the night with Choi Hyeonseo, that sheâd pay him?
And now, stripped bare, legs spread wide in a teasing posture that hinted at everything without fully revealingâshe looked capable of devouring more than one man.
Had he ever been so affected by a womanâs naked body? He didnât know. Swallowing, Hyeonseo looked between her parted thighs before leaning back in for another kiss.
The sight of her mouth open, wanting him, left him stunnedâno, disbelieving. She sucked in his tongue as he entered. He muttered softly,
âYou started this.â
He sucked at her saliva-filled tongue without restraint, drawing even the small sounds she made into himself. It had already begun.
He had intended to draw a clear lineâto follow the contract, raise Yoonwoo properly, treat her safely as Yoonwooâs biological mother. It had been a practical solution to silence talk of marriage and the rumors surrounding Yoonwooâs birth all at once.
But he hadnât anticipated being shaken like this.
Watching Taeyeon, drunk, lying naked and swaying her legs without a trace of reason, made his insides burn. Just imagining pressing his swollen desire into her soft depths and moving together left him breathless.
With heated urgency, he continued the kissâsucking her tongue, scraping along her palate. When he pushed his saliva into her mouth, she swallowed greedily, perhaps parched from the alcohol.
Their tangled, messy kiss was striking sparks between them.
âDirecâŠtorâŠâ
Even her murmurs sounded sweet in his ears. But he didnât want her making any sound at all. Pushing his tongue deeper and scraping harder, he made her gag slightly.
It was absurdly amusing; he pulled back, laughing. The kiss had been intense enough that tears shimmered in her eyesâadorable.
He was always one to think ahead, to prepare meticulously. But a first night like this with a drunken Min Taeyeon?
That had never been in his plans.
As the kiss deepened, the way she arched her hips grew more alluring, the strength with which she clung to his tongue more desperate.
When they finally parted, he trailed his lips down her neck to her breasts once more. As he sucked firmly, her legs wrapped around his waist again.
Caressing her soaked body with his hand, he rubbed her gently as if soothing her. Her damp eyes were deep like a lakeâalmost as if they meant to swallow his very soul.
