Chapter 3
Eyes blazing with heat locked onto her and refused to let go.
Seoha almost said yes, bewitched by the man’s pheromones and his mysterious gray eyes, but thankfully, she regained her senses before the words could escape.
“That’s not something you should ask while emitting pheromones like that…”
What I want isn’t really you—it’s your pheromones.
When she pointed that out bluntly, the man’s eyes narrowed in displeasure.
Immediately, the pheromones that had soaked her entire body vanished in an instant.
Yet, she still couldn’t breathe properly. It was because the man was still looming over her.
Every time she inhaled and exhaled, her chest bumped against his hard torso.
“Now, say it.”
Lowering his head, the man whispered into her ear, his hot breath tickling her earlobe.
“Do you want me?”
She had to say no. Firmly, definitively deny it and push him away… but why couldn’t she?
Even though the pheromones had vanished, her head was still spinning. Her heart pounded like it was running a marathon.
Swallowing dryly, Seoha looked up at him. Her reflection in his gray eyes looked like a fool.
“I said, answer me.”
The man smiled slyly and moved in even closer.
That proximity made her aware of something she didn’t want to know, and she stopped breathing.
He had been sitting there so calmly before… When did that happen?
“Why so quiet?”
He nipped lightly at her earlobe and asked.
“Silence means yes, doesn’t it? Can I take it that you want me?”
Her instincts screamed that this was her last chance. If she wanted to stop him, she had to push him away now.
She had to… but…
“……”
Instead of pushing, she wrapped her arms around his neck. The moment she did, he eagerly captured her lips.
The uninvited guest entered without warning and roamed as if this was his own territory.
Startled, her tongue retreated, but like a snake, he followed and caught it.
“Mmgh.”
A stinging pain made it feel like her tongue was being ripped out, and she let out a faint whimper. Her arms tightened around his neck.
Her blouse had slipped off, exposing her skin to the cold air. Goosebumps formed, and the sudden chill brought her sharply back to her senses.
What am I doing?
Was I about to have sex with a man I just met?
“Wait…!”
Realizing too late what she was about to do, Seoha tried to push him away in a panic—but it was futile.
“It’s okay.”
He caught her hand and slowly licked her fingers with the tip of his tongue. Occasionally, he playfully nipped at her fingertips with sharp canines.
“I’ll be gentle.”
Though I’m not confident.
His lips trailed tremblingly down her delicate frame. The intense, explicit contact made Seoha’s body tense—then slowly melt.
His lips paused briefly at her collarbone before continuing downward.
As a moan slipped out, Seoha gripped the man’s head tightly.
His hand, which had been caressing her waist, moved lower and undressed her in one swift motion.
He removed not only her gown but even the bandages. Now completely bare, he positioned himself before her.
Her body flushed, and tension ran down to her toes.
His long, firm fingers moved slowly.
As he moved without hesitation, Seoha clenched her eyes shut and covered her face with both hands.
“Embarrassed?”
Of course!
Seoha wanted to shoot back fiercely, but she couldn’t.
“Ah…!”
But just as she opened her mouth, he kissed her again, turning her words to dust.
She couldn’t think straight as he ravaged her. It felt like her entire body was melting.
“Stop…”
The whispered plea barely escaped her lips, and he teased in response.
“Stop, as in stop altogether? Or stop and move to the next part?”
Which is it? His breath brushed her ear, making her long lashes tremble like butterfly wings.
He should’ve given her time to answer, but he clearly had no intention of doing so.
“Ah, wait…”
“That’s not the answer I wanted.”
His low, amused laugh was wicked.
This man… Seoha’s dazed gaze sharpened for a moment.
I can’t be the only one getting swept away here.
A stubborn determination lit in Seoha.
She had only planned to use one hand—but it was more than she expected.
Impossible. Seoha’s face went pale.
Panicked, she tried to pull away, but the man firmly caught her wrist.
“Keep going.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed dryly.
“Why’d you stop?”
“……”
“Are you scared of me?”
She wasn’t afraid, but she was uneasy. It felt like he might devour her whole.
Seoha didn’t answer, but the man didn’t seem to expect one. He kissed her again.
His lips pressed down hard, forcing Seoha’s mouth wide open.
Her flailing hands landed on his back, her nails digging in. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Ow… it hurts.”
“Only hurts?”
He whispered teasingly into her ear.
Too exhausted to respond, Seoha leaned her head against his shoulder, gasping.
His hot breath tickled her ear.
“You wanted me that badly, didn’t you?”
Who does he think he is? Even as her mind fogged with heat, that ridiculous question made her eyebrows twitch.
She looked up at him, glaring.
Her tearful eyes met his darkened gray gaze, and his eyes curved into slits.
“…!”
So much for being gentle—his actions showed no trace of kindness.
Seoha floated like a boat caught in a storm. Her mind went blank, her vision flickered.
A sensation she’d never experienced before surged from her toes, paralyzing her completely.
“More… more…!”
“Still want more? Greedy.”
He kissed her trembling ankle and chuckled.
“I’ll give you what you want, but no crying later, okay?”
“……”
“Answer me.”
He coaxed like one would a child.
Caught off guard, Seoha nodded—and immediately regretted it.
Maybe it was the beast blood in his veins, but the man was relentless. He didn’t know his limits.
Their sounds filled the room. He was so overwhelming, Seoha felt like she was melting.
At that moment, Seoha reached climax and cried out.
The man’s expression twisted.
Shivering from the intense pleasure, Seoha trembled.
He pulled her close and let out a hot breath.
She knew the sofa would get messy, but she couldn’t move. All she could do was breathe shakily with her eyes closed. She didn’t have the strength to lift a finger.
Was sex always this exhausting? Not that she’d know.
But why was he so quiet now?
She expected something else. Nervous, Seoha barely opened her heavy eyelids.
From where she lay, the first thing she saw was the man’s waist. He was standing—it was unavoidable.
Before she could even feel embarrassed, her eyes widened.
They just finished—how…?
“You… how are you…?”
“Looks like you’ve recovered.”
It was hard to hold back. The man sat before her again and smirked.
“You want to go again?”
“What?!”
Is that even possible? Seoha stared at him in disbelief.
Something about her look must have provoked him—his gray eyes darkened again.
He leaned in, kissed her lips gently, and whispered:
“The night’s still young.”
