Chapter 14.1

“I heard lawyers encounter all sorts of people, but this is really interesting. I thought this kind of thing only happened in movies.”

“Sometimes, reality can be even crazier than movies.”

“I think you’re right, especially in today’s day and age.”

The man couldn’t take his eyes off of EunHa as he smiled softly. His throat was sore from talking so much. EunHa lifted her glass and gulped down its contents. Then she met the surprised eyes of the man sitting next to her and lowered her glass of liquor.

“I’m usually terrible with alcohol, but seeing as how you’re listening to me with so much interest, I couldn’t help but get excited.”

“Drink as much as you’d like. It’s the least I can do for someone who will be my asset consultant.”

EunHa swept back her black hair and smiled at him with a flushed face.

“What if I want to meet you for more personal reasons?”

“Sorry?”

Seeing the blatant desire flash in his surprised eyes, EunHa replied cheerfully.

“I’m usually on the more professional side when I’m working. If we begin talking about business, you might find me less likable.”

“There’s no way that will happen.”

EunHa’s new business associate tried to feign nonchalance as he shook his head.

“Sometimes I have clients who avoid me because they don’t feel comfortable revealing such personal details about themselves. But since I’m their lawyer, if I don’t know my clients completely, I won’t be able to do my work properly.”

“You’re completely right.”

“Thank you for being so understanding.”

EunHa raised her glass to him as her eyes narrowed with laughter. As her glass gradually emptied, she noticed how his eyes began to linger on her. EunHa opened her mouth and began to speak.

“So you’re currently doing your best to avoid the inheritance tax, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“How much is your parents’ assets worth? Including all the cash, real estate, and any secret funds kept in foreign countries.”

EunHa listened to his reply and stretched out her hand to take another sip of her cocktail. However, her heart was racing inside her chest and she felt like spitting out a curse.

“If it’s worth that much, I think…”

EunHa kept a cautious expression on her face and counted to five inside her head before she continued. It was always important to take things slow. Now that she was in a foreign country, she couldn’t afford to lose such a big catch.

[Excuse me.]

Damn it.

The bartender had to pick this moment to clear her empty glass and replace it with another one even though she didn’t ask. EunHa decided to take this as a sign from the heavens to relax and take things slow. She did her best to grin at him.

[What is this? Is this on the house?]

[This is a Manhattan.]

EunHa nodded as she raised the glass filled with a brilliant liquor.

“It suits this place perfectly. Do you know about the origins of this cocktail?”

“No, I don’t think I quite know…”

EunHa gave him an alluring smile as she watched him gaze at her.

“Ah, this is just something I heard in a bar I frequent. They say there was a Native American chieftain in America who was drunk when he handed over all of Manhattan…”

EunHa’s voice matched the mood as she carefully began to explain.

“They say that this cocktail is perfectly suited for a con artist.”

When she heard a voice cut in from behind, EunHa’s brows furrowed. The man next to her turned around to take a look at this unwelcome guest. KyungHyun didn’t look at him and continued to gaze at EunHa as he grinned.

“It’s been a while.”

“Excuse me. Who are you to suddenly…”

The man began to raise his voice in indignation when KyungHyun reached into his coat pocket. When he took his hand out, he was holding a pair of silver handcuffs that clinked cheerfully. He placed them on top of the bar table.

“It’s truly a wonderful coincidence to meet another Korean here. May I share the table with you?”

The man cautiously began to get up from his seat. He didn’t even offer EunHa an explanation and coughed awkwardly before leaving. EunHa looked around with a bewildered expression. YongJoon, who had been sitting at a table not too far from them, was nowhere in sight. He had realized what was going on and fled the scene.

That cheap bastard. After leaving Serim, he set up a detective agency and tried to make some money by catching adulterers in the act and taking photos of them. EunHa felt stupid for bringing this kind of guy to the United States, but it was too late to regret it now.

“Thanks to you, I took a month off work.”

KyungHyun looked at her with narrowed eyes as he smiled at her. He sat down in the man’s empty seat and ordered a martini. It was inevitable. He had to take time off in order to find EunHa, who had suddenly left the country and fled to the United States.

“Um… You don’t have to thank me. You’ve been working so much lately, so I think it’s nice to take some time off to relax…”

Bewildered, KyungHyun didn’t know what to say. He grabbed her hand as she continued to ramble on.

“Do you seriously want to die?”

KyungHyun met EunHa’s eyes and asked her in a soft voice. When he came back to the apartment they’d been sharing, he was devastated to find that all her luggage had disappeared. He felt that if he scolded her too much right now, she’d run away again, so he hid his anxiety behind a relaxed expression.

“You can’t even kill me anyways.”

“But I can keep you locked away for the rest of your life.”

“You’re not a gangster anymore. You’re police. You shouldn’t do that.”

“Are you trying to torture me?”

This man still couldn’t take a joke. He lifted his index finger and began stroke her cheek. His languid voice and his familiar movements made her blush.

“I even took care of that rundown car for you, so why did you run away?”

He was talking about the incident with Kang SungHo. EunHa settled her racing heart and smiled at him.

“I don’t find it attractive when a man treats me too well.”

KyungHyun’s eyes narrowed as a puff of air escaped his lips.

“Well, you probably haven’t dated in a long time, so you might have forgotten about this. But when it comes to dating, there’s such a thing as push and pull. You need this in order for your dating life to stay exciting, but Shin KyungHyun-ssi is too good to me, so it’s a bit boring.”

“Stop joking around.”

KyungHyun saw through her lie as his eyes pierced through her. He outlined her lips with his finger, causing her mouth to go dry.

“You don’t believe me?”

“Whenever you lie, you start to ramble. It’s cute.”

KyungHyun sweet voice caused her heart to race. This was the first time she had seen his face in a month. Her heart suddenly throbbed inside her chest as if she were a young girl.

“Is it because you’re afraid?”

It was as if he’d read her heart.

“Of what?”

“Are you afraid because you came to like me? That I might disappoint you? Until now, no one has gotten close enough to hurt you, so are you afraid that I might be the first one?”

EunHa was still smiling, but she began to bite her lips, revealing her anxious thoughts. Maybe it was because of his older age, but this man wasn’t someone she could underestimate.

“If that is the case, what are you going to do about it?”

“What am I going to do? I’m going to keep going at it until you change your mind.”

His straightforward answer almost seemed to mock the worries she had been stewing over on her own. KyungHyun’s answer was simple and clear.

“If you run away again, I’ll just catch you again.”

“……”

A faint laugh unintentionally escaped EunHa’s lips.

“How straightforward of you.”

“There’s nothing complicated about it. In this short life, we just need to focus on enjoying each others’ company.”

EunHa’s eyelashes fluttered at his words as she blinked once or twice. That’s right. In this short life, worrying about things that hadn’t even happened was just a waste of energy.

“All right, then.”

“What?”

“Let’s try dating seriously.”

KyungHyun’s lips arched into a satisfied smile.

“Good choice.”

However, before she made it official, there were a few things she wanted to say. She felt that she could say at least this much if she was going to reveal her true self to him.

“But I have a few conditions.”

“Tell me.”

Her slender fingers gripped his shoulder. Her faint touch didn’t fail to arouse the man, who began to lick his dry lips. EunHa gazed at him as she hesitated before opening her lips.

“From now on, don’t work so hard.”

His job put him in situations where he had to risk his life. If he got hurt, she didn’t have the confidence to face it. EunHa carefully explained herself.

“I hate having to worry about my man getting hurt.”

Instead of replying, KyungHyun narrowed his eyes as he gave her a silent smile. His dangerous, languid smile caused EunHa’s hand to dampen with sweat.

“And don’t smile at other women like that.”

KyungHyun’s eyes pierced into her as he took the olive from his martini and began to slowly chew it. The languid movements of his jaw seemed sensual because it reminded EunHa of the way it moved when he put her soft skin in his mouth.

“I’m normally very greedy and very jealous. If you ever cheat on me with another woman, I’m going to kill you both.”

EunHa rolled her large eyes as her voice trembled at the end of her sentence. Her pale face had gone completely red.

“Can you say something? Don’t just stare at me like that. You’re making me feel stupid.”

“If I keep those two conditions, you’ll stay by my side for the rest of your life?”

KyungHyun, who had been listening to her silently, placed his glass down and asked.

“What?”

EunHa’s large eyes blinked rapidly. She noticed this happening before, but wasn’t there a huge gap between her conditions and his? And yet he said it as if it was nothing.

“I won’t die in the line of duty, I swear to you. And I obviously won’t smile at another woman who isn’t you. There won’t even be an instance where I speak more than three words to another woman. As you well know, I don’t have a personality that women tend to like.”

“…There are strange women out there who like stiff and arrogant men. Like me.”

“So if you make a man like me yours, it will only help our situation.”

KyungHyun faintly laughed. EunHa couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious.

“I accepted your conditions. So you also need to do something for me. There’s no going back. Once you’re all-in, that’s it.”

“…I seriously don’t think my words are getting through to you.”

“Let’s kiss.”

KyungHyun wrapped his hand around her cheek and whispered.

“Excuse me. We’re from the polite country of Korea, and doing it in a public place is…”

“We’ve fucked in an alleyway with my pants down, so why does it matter?”

“You’ve returned to the police force, so please watch your language…”

His face came closer to her unwilling one. His lips pressed onto hers, effectively cutting her off. Their body heats mingled together. Her refusal to give in to his stubbornness only lasted 1 second. As soon as KyungHyun began to suck on her lower lip, her body melted.

KyungHyun moved her hand from his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then he plunged even deeper into her mouth and began to suck. After their wet kiss came to an end, EunHa panted as she gazed at him. Her bright pink lipstick was smeared all over his lips, but the man still dripped sex appeal as he looked back at her.

“I’ve pulled out the rug from under you several times, but do you still like me that much?”

“I do.”

“Why?”

“A con artist and a cop have high compatibility. I even heard from someone that our sexual compatibility is amazing.”

EunHa drew in a deep breath and looked at him. Even if she ran away again, this man would find her without fail. It would be difficult to lose him from now on. She felt that it wouldn’t be so bad to give in to fate and just go with the flow.

“You definitely said that I can run away again if I feel like it, right?”

“Yeah, but not tonight.”

EunHa met his eyes and softly whispered.

“Why not?”

“You really don’t know?”

His breaths were heavy. EunHa’s eyes began to sparkle.

“I don’t know.”

“I better handcuff you again.”

“…If I give you a kiss, will you let me off just this once?”

“We’ll see.”

KyungHyun’s blazing eyes gazed at her as he answered in a husky voice. EunHa’s face approached his and her lips were furiously swallowed once again. Their tongues tangled in this deep kiss, causing an electric current to run down her body. She felt his body heat through her evening dress, and the fine hairs on her body stood up on end. EunHa placed her hand on his chest. Her finger grazed against his Adam’s apple, causing it to bob up and down.

“Put the handcuffs on me in bed.”

“…Whatever you want.”

The world’s sexiest man looked at her as he smiled arrogantly. He reached inside his suit jacket pocket and pulled out a suite room card. He held it between his fingers and waved it at her.

Beep.

As soon as the hotel door opened, they threw themselves into a scorching kiss. He lifted her into his arms and proceeded to walk to the bedroom. EunHa’s arms were wrapped around his neck, and the top of her dress had been shoved down her shoulders at some point.

“Slowly… Do it slowly.”

“I don’t think I can.”

KyungHyun let out a ragged breath as he lowered her body onto the mattress. He roughly pulled at his necktie and tossed it onto the floor. His hot lips fell on EunHa’s trembling breast. He grasped her breast and began to suck, causing shivers to run down her skin. EunHa’s shoulders shook slightly as she felt his familiar touch. Her body still remembered the pleasure that was to come.

“You must have a lot piled up.”

“Yeah. Thanks to someone.”

EunHa felt his erection harden against her thigh. KyungHyun continued to nibble on her peak as his hands fondled her underneath the dress. He hurriedly lowered her tiny panties. He was just about to lower his lips onto her drenched, aromatic entrance when EunHa twisted her hips away.

“What’s wrong?”

KyungHyun frowned as he began to push her thighs apart. EunHa put her foot on his shoulder and pushed him back.

“I want to do it too.”

“Do what?”

Unable to suppress his arousal, KyungHyun’s voice sounded rough and hoarse. His lips pressed onto her calf as he licked it.

“I want to suck it. Suck you.”

KyungHyun’s black eyes were filled with desire as they raked over her. He didn’t ask twice. He unbuckled his belt and pulled off his pants and underwear in one breath. After tossing them away, he lied down on the bed and grabbed her legs and pulled.

“Aah…!”

EunHa found herself kneeling on all fours as she caught her balance. Standing straight up through the forest of pubic hair, KyungHyun’s penis was right before her eyes. His grotesque cock didn’t seem to match his sculpted face. It bobbed up and down in front of her face.

“Haa…!”

Before she could organize her thoughts, she felt him suck her. The man’s lips greedily dug into her entrance. The wet sounds grew louder, making her feel embarrassed. Her entrance throbbed as a slick fluid began to flow out. When KyungHyun began to poke his tongue in and out, EunHa put his cock into her mouth.

“Hmm…!”

His penis was a lot bigger than it looked. It completely filled her mouth. EunHa began to suck, and she instantly felt KyungHyun’s thigh harden underneath her fingers. She felt his ragged breaths against her sensitive skin. EunHa was sure he felt the same as her breaths brushed against his cock.

“Hm…! Hnng…!”

KyungHyun’s tongue began to dig into her folds and penetrate her. Every place he licked and sucked caused a current of pleasure to spread throughout her body. Precum was trickling down from the head of KyungHyun’s cock. EunHa’s face was flushed with desire. Judging from the way KyungHyun’s hips were rising up and down, he was in the same state.

“Hm…! Hnng…!”

KyungHyun grasped her legs and pulled them apart. Then he dug his face into her and mercilessly pushed apart her folds with his tongue. With his penis still lodged firmly inside, a mixture of cum and saliva began to trickle out of her mouth. Pleasure rose up from below, and his penis was pumping into her mouth as it did when they had sex. EunHa had finally reached the tipping point and couldn’t take it anymore.

“Enough… Ah, no more…”

EunHa pulled his penis out and gasped for breath. She wrapped her hand around his cock and began to stroke it. KyungHyun kept his arms wrapped around her thighs and didn’t think to let them go as he lifted his head.

“Are you trying to make me come before we begin?”

EunHa felt that it would be better that way. When she first had sex with him, the night felt like a war zone. She clearly remembered this and unintentionally raised her voice.

“Yes… Hng!”

Before she could finish her sentence, semen began to spurt out his cock. EunHa’s eyes widened. He continued to ejaculate aggressively as his warm semen drenched her hand. As soon as he let go, KyungHyun let out a ragged breath and climbed on top of her.

“Wait, let me wash my hand first…”

KyungHyun softly grasped her wrist.

“We both need a fair start.”

He placed her hand on top of her drenched entrance that he had sucked just moments before. EunHa finally realized what it was that he wanted as he looked at her with his languid eyes.

“Show me.”

KyungHyun covered EunHa’s hand and slowly began to move it. EunHa felt the warm, slippery skin underneath her fingertips. Her clitoris began to twitch from the stimulation. EunHa looked at KyungHyun with narrowed eyes and slowly moved her fingers. With her hand still covered in KyungHyun’s semen, EunHa began to pleasure herself. Black fireworks went off behind KyungHyun’s eyes as he watched her.

“Fuck…”

A curse left KyungHyun’s mouth as he licked his lips. He could feel her ragged breaths brush against the tip of his nose. EunHa whispered in a trembling voice.

“You told me to do it on my own. Should I stop?”

“…Keep going.”

“Aaah…”

Her hips began to undulate. EunHa’s tongue tangled with his as she enjoyed the sensations running through her body. This was the first time she was pleasuring herself in front of someone else. Watching her stimulate herself only served to arouse KyungHyun even more. His eyes darkened dangerously. Suddenly, a moan escaped EunHa’s lips as she was just about to reach her climax.

“Hnng!”

KyungHyun snatched her wrist and climbed on top of her. His erect cock entered her in one smooth stroke. Her walls throbbed as they welcomed his intrusion, sucking him in even further.

“Aah! Haa!”

KyungHyun began thrusting immediately. Without any time to adjust to his sudden penetration, EunHa felt her climax approach. EunHa’s slick legs wrapped around his hips.

“Aah…!”

She felt as if she was being rammed by a bulldozer. Her vision turned white. Fireworks burst inside her head and her lower abdomen twitched. Her heart thumped violently inside her chest, but KyungHyun didn’t stop his movements. His rough, husky voice entered her ears.

“Even if you do it by yourself, can’t you beg me to put my cock inside you?”

“Hng, aahng!”

The man continued to mutter such ridiculous things, but she couldn’t pay it any attention. His pubic bone continued to bump into her clitoris, and the veins of his cock rubbed up against her walls. An electrifying climax burst inside her body as she was continuously pressed down into the bed.

“I came… I already came… Aagh!”

“Then we’re back on equal ground. Now we can start over together.”

KyungHyun’s strained voice entered her ears, not giving her a chance to tell him that she wanted to stop. KyungHyun sucked on her flushed earlobe. The tingling remnants of her climax hummed throughout her body as KyungHyun left red kiss marks on her skin.

The sound of their slapping bodies continued to fill the room with no end in sight. Her lower body, which had felt numb after her climax, began to react once again. When her walls tightly gripped him, KyungHyun lifted his head and let out a low groan.

“I’m going crazy.”

“Haa… Me… Me too.”

“Try taking in all of me.”

She was already filled to the brim, so she didn’t know what he was talking about. EunHa lifted her hips and wrapped her legs around KyungHyun’s waist. Suddenly, KyungHyun hugged her to his chest and lifted her upright.

“Hng!”

Sitting on top of his sturdy thighs, EunHa felt a zing of pleasure run down her spine. With his knees bent, KyungHyun began to move her up and down. She didn’t know how he was able to lift her up and down as if she were a piece of paper.

“Aahng! Nng!”

KyungHyun pulled her bouncing breast into his mouth. He began to nibble on her peak, and the sting only added to the pleasure. The sound of their slapping bodies rang in the air as EunHa’s voluptuous bottom slammed down on KyungHyun’s hips. Slap, slap. Every time he pounded into her sweet spot, a shrill moan burst out of her lips.

“Aaah!”

EunHa’s hands gripped his head. He lifted his face with a strained expression. His eyes were filled with a dangerous combination of arousal and desire. She was able to read his heart as she looked into them.

“Don’t push me away.”

His face clearly showed how much he was holding back for her. EunHa knew very well how self-centered Shin KyungHyun was in the past. And this man was now lowering his head only for her. This unbelievable fact aroused EunHa even more.

“If the thought of ending things ever crosses your mind, shove it out of your head.”

She never thought she’d feel turned on from being dominated like this. But knowing that this dangerously strong man earnestly wanted her gave her an electrifying thrill. Judging from her reaction to this twisted situation, EunHa’s personality wasn’t that much better either.

“Then fuck me harder. All this tickling is going to kill me.”

EunHa gasped out between pants. KyungHyun grinned and grabbed the back of her head.

EunHa’s face lowered onto his. Their tongues tangled as EunHa continued to squeeze his cock. When her climax overcame her, KyungHyun pulled her tightly against his chest. It was as if he was telling her that he would never let her go ever again.

“Are you trying to punish me with sex?”

EunHa’s limp body was stretched out on top of KyungHyun’s. His large hand was clenching her bottom.

“It feels good, so don’t pull it out.”

Basking in the lingering aftermath of sex, KyungHyun’s face looked relaxed and comfortable. The hotel room was a mess with the traces of their sex spread throughout the room. Half of the bedsheets were pulled off, and the blanket had already flown away somewhere. Their clothes were haphazardly strewn across the room, and piles of crumpled tissues used to clean their fluids were discarded all over the floor.

“In any case, you’re too much.”

“What?”

“If you act like this, every woman will probably run away from you. What will people think when they see this room?”

Even though EunHa said this in jest, KyungHyun considered it seriously. Unable to take a joke, KyungHyun looked at her with a grin. When he felt her cooled skin, he grabbed the sheets and covered her body.

“Aren’t you cold?”

“I’m not cold. I’m hot. You’re too warm.”

“Your body is hot on the inside as well.”

KyungHyun began to massage her bottom. There was no way EunHa didn’t realize the desire in his touch. His stiff lower half began to react. EunHa pulled back her hips and began to rub herself against his cock.

“And the only person who can withstand that heat is me.”

EunHa glanced at him as she felt his penis harden underneath her. In the next moment, KyungHyun’s cock was hovering right below her entrance. In some ways, he might be right. He was a man who wouldn’t wither away from her heat. That might be why she was so drawn to him.

“If something happens to my body, you will have to take responsibility.”

“That sounds lovely.”

KyungHyun spread her apart with a grin as he flashed her his white teeth. EunHa closed her eyes as she pulled his hot body into her embrace.

She felt more comfortable being with him than being away from him. Rather than worrying about things that hadn’t happened, she decided to enjoy the time she spent with this man instead.\n
