2025-01-21 22:39:12"What the hell? Let me go," she whispered firmly to him.
The hands around her waist tightened.
“Really? You don’t even say that in bed, Ms. Greene. What’s going on now?” Alaric's warm breath was hot against her ear. “I can clearly remember you moaning and begging for more, baby. Do you want to know what I was thinking while you were playing that damn violin, hmm?”
Emerald’s face flushed with embarrassment. She didn’t understand how they managed to fit into this small dressing room, but she could feel Alaric’s towering body pressing against hers repeatedly.
She cleared her throat and steeled her expression as her eyes met his intense gaze. “Mr. Corrigan, I told you we need to—”
Before she could finish, Alaric’s fingers pressed firmly against her soft lips, cutting her off. His eyes drifted over her. Emerald, enveloped in his arms, smelled sweet and alluring, and even the lips he had never touched felt so soft that they made his heart race.
“Silence, baby. Someone’s coming…” he whispered hoarsely.
Emerald’s eyes widened in alarm as she straightened her body. She was about to push Alaric away, but he quickly grabbed her and lifted her effortlessly. Fear of being caught silenced her scream.
Without warning, his lips found their way to her ear. Alaric gently licked Emerald’s earlobe, causing her to gasp.
“Damn it. You’re so sexy and stunning that I want to hide you from everyone. I want you to cry out and moan only my name. Over and over again…” Alaric whispered in his hoarse voice.
Emerald’s heart raced wildly at Alaric's words, her pulse in a complete frenzy. It seemed this man knew precisely how to dominate her every nerve.
In bed, Alaric always did more than he spoke, their exchanges typically soft and slow. She’d thought he was just shy and reserved, but his ability to speak like this now was making it increasingly difficult for her to control herself.
Emerald closed her eyes tightly. The room was cold, but she felt an intense heat enveloping her.
“Mr. Corrigan, didn’t you read my text message? I told you we needed to stop this,” she reminded him firmly.
Alaric’s warm hand slowly crept to her waist, caressing it gently. He licked her earlobe again and nipped it, making Emerald gasp even louder.
“Is that really what you want?”
Emerald’s knees trembled uncontrollably. She knew that if she didn’t end this now, she would lose.
“Yes. I don’t want to get involved in a family affair. This is the women’s locker room. Please leave, Mr. Corrigan,” she insisted, trying to stay resolute.
Alaric studied Emerald’s face, clearly seeing the rigidity of her expression. He didn’t understand. He was her first man, and he was sure Emerald enjoyed their time together in bed, but now she wanted to end their relationship abruptly. Her expression was blank, and he seemed to have no effect on her.
Alaric’s jaw tightened. He gave Emerald’s waist a slight squeeze before speaking again.
“But what if I don’t want this to stop? I still want you. I still want to see you sweating beneath me, moaning and screaming my name. I still want you to yell not to stop…" Alaric's voice was full of determination and desire.
He seemed completely unphased by what he was saying.
A moment later, they heard footsteps approaching from outside, followed by a voice.
“Ms. Greene, are you in there?” It was Teacher Iris!
With desperation, Emerald was about to answer, but she was stunned when Alaric suddenly unzipped the zipper of her dress. Emerald could feel Alaric's hands slowly and gently crawling under her dress, moving up towards her stomach. The sensation was so intense and thrilling that she nearly stifled any sound she might have made.
Words fled from Emerald's mind completely. Even though she had recently become infatuated with this man, he had a way of making her feel so utterly consumed by him that she felt like she could soar into the sky.
But not in front of her co-teacher!
Emerald's entire body went rigid. She bit her lip, desperate to keep silent, her eyes brimming with silent pleas. Her vulnerable state seemed to only amuse Alaric further.
Alaric's grin grew devilish. “I see you don’t want this to stop, Ms. Greene. I’m still the winner here, and you’re my prize.”
He lowered his voice, exhaling a heated breath that made Emerald’s body shiver uncontrollably.
“That’s odd. I saw her come in here. Where could that woman be?” Teacher Iris muttered to herself, her voice clearly audible to both Emerald and Alaric.
Emerald's heart pounded harder as the fitting room door handle suddenly began to turn. In a rush of panic, she blurted out, “I-Iris, I’m changing clothes…!”
Her voice trembled with fear as she clung to Alaric’s suit, who appeared almost delighted by the situation.
“You’re right here after all! Did you see how handsome James’s dad is? He’s like a Greek god—tall and stunning. And his body is so sexy! Broad shoulders and chest. What do you think, Emerald? How many abs does he have? Six or eight? I think it’s eight,” Iris continued excitedly, completely absorbed in imagining the man she was talking about, oblivious to her friend’s rising panic.

For Iris, talking like this about men was normal, and Emerald was always her go-to conversation partner, since she was the only single one among them. But Emerald never expected Iris would bring this up now, especially with the man in question right in front of her! How was she supposed to respond to these questions?“Emerald?” Iris called out when she didn’t get a response, knocking on the door. “What do you think?”At that moment, Emerald was locked in Alaric’s embrace, and the temperature in the small changing room steadily rose. Alaric started kissing her neck while slowly slipping the strap of her dress off, revealing her smooth, bright shoulders. Emerald’s eyes fluttered closed, her head tilting back as the sensations from Alaric’s touch overwhelmed her.Her breath came in shaky gasps under the intensity of his kiss and caress.“I’m not really… sure,” Emerald managed to say.Alaric chuckled softly in her ear, taking her trembling hands and guiding them around his waist.“You can

By late afternoon, Emerald arrived at the Corrigan mansion, having had to finish her tasks for the day. A handsome and courteous butler greeted her at the door.As soon as she saw the house, she was awestruck. It was her first time stepping into a mansion-like home. The lights were on, and the villa before her was majestic. The architecture resembled a castle straight out of a fairy tale!It was hard to believe that a man who always dressed so casually when they met lived in such a grand place.As Emerald reached for the shoe covers in her bag, one of the housekeepers stopped her and handed her a pair of fresh slippers. They looked brand new."This is ready for you, Ms. Greene," the housekeeper said politely, and Emerald accepted the slippers."Thank you," she replied curtly, quickly removing her high heels and slipping into the slippers that fit her perfectly.Once inside, Emerald took in the expansive living room. There was no one under the impressive crystal chandelier hanging seve

Emerald couldn't avoid it; in front of her was the man's wild, powerful body. From such close proximity, she could clearly see the thin layer of sweat covering his chiseled face. She couldn't help but think of those nights when he was drenched in sweat, claiming her completely.Alaric clasped Emerald's chin, his wet fingertips burning with a heat that seemed to want to melt her. He was so close, just an inch away from kissing her. He had long desired to taste her lips, but she always pulled away. He had explored almost every part of her body, except for those alluring red lips, which had become the most irresistible part of her to him.Gently, he traced her chin with his fingers, his gaze flickering between her lips and her eyes."If you're so upset about this, why don't you become his mother, huh?" he rasped, his voice rough with a mix of irritation and desire.Emerald's eyes widened in fury as she struggled against Alaric's hold, her voice filled with anger and desperation. "Asshole

She pushed open the door, which slowly creaked open to let in the bright light. Alaric watched her leave, dazed, before heading back to the elevator and then to his bedroom door. The housekeeper, who had been watching with a smile but maintained a respectful demeanor, spoke up as Alaric approached."Is Ms. Greene really the teacher young master wants?" she asked, still looking at Alaric."She is," Alaric answered, unable to deny it given the circumstances. "A woman who's so intriguing...""Has young master mentioned that you're not really his father and that you don't have a wife? If the boy is really interested in Ms. Greene, you should clarify that you're not related by blood so he doesn't get any wrong ideas," she suggested.Alaric shook his head. "She's not interested in knowing that, Max," he said firmly, heading toward the bathroom.Meanwhile, Emerald sat quietly on the living room sofa, taking in the beauty of the house. She hadn't had a chance to properly observe it earlier du

Alaric clenched his jaw as he stubbed out his cigarette. He then mirrored Emerald's stance, placing his hands on the table and leaning in closer. "You seem quite concerned about my son. So why not consider my proposal? James likes you. If you become his mother, he'd be happy. It's a win-win for all of us," he said as if it were the most natural suggestion.They stared at each other in silence. Emerald was at a loss for words, her mind momentarily blank. Their gaze only broke when a sudden crash echoed through the house, the sound of porcelain shattering."James!"Worried about James's fragile mental state, even with his recent improvements, Emerald instinctively reacted. She quickly stood up but forgot she was only wearing slippers. Her foot caught on the edge of the sofa, causing her to fall hard to the floor.With a loud thud, Emerald's knees hit the cold, hard tiles, sending a sharp, intense pain through her body."Hey, are you okay?" Alaric asked, concern evident in his voice as

Standing by the terrace, Emerald poured herself a glass of red wine, already knowing why her mother had suddenly called."Did you see the news about Ethan's engagement?" Her mother's voice was filled with disappointment and frustration."Yeah, I saw it," Emerald replied lazily, sipping her wine."Ethan is just a useless jerk to his family, but that little witch from the Valentine family still managed to snatch him away. It's really embarrassing that you didn't do anything. You're really useless!" Her mother's voice was firm and laced with anger.Emerald winced slightly at the harsh words, feeling the sting of her mother's disappointment. She gripped the glass tighter, trying to block out the familiar feeling of inadequacy that always seemed to accompany conversations with her mother.Emerald didn't say anything. She set her phone aside, putting it on speaker, and continued sipping her red wine as the sound of her mother's cursing filled the room. Sometimes she wondered if she was trul

Emerald immediately held back and bit her lip to endure the pain. Her pink lip bled, and she could taste the blood. This was what she hated most about getting injured-the treatment. The additional pain from the medicine or creams was unbearable for her, and even though she had been drinking, she still felt every bit of the sting.The troubled look on her face reminded Alaric of the nights when she lay beneath him, clinging to his waist and begging him to be gentle. He suppressed the intense desire that surged within him and softened his touch considerably."You've always been so loud, Miss Greene," Alaric whispered teasingly, making sure Emerald heard him.Emerald's forehead creased when she heard that, but she ignored it. All she wanted now was for him to leave. They couldn't stay in the same room alone because Emerald knew she might give in-especially since she was drunk!The cold ointment gradually warmed under the heat of his palm, and his rough hand gently m

Emerald recalled the first day she met Alaric, when he had saved her. The man had been dripping wet, his short black hair neatly styled, his eyebrows raised, and his strong arms had supported her soft body. He exuded a potent, irresistible aura. Ethan had always told her she was a boring woman, but Alaric had awakened something in her that made her feel physically satisfied even without love.As the alcohol clouded her judgment, she found herself embracing Alaric, inviting him with boldness. The man took advantage of the moment, his kiss now gentle, guiding her hands around his muscular waist. With the soft sofa beneath her and the hard, warm man in front, her body was overwhelmed with emotions."You want me too, right?" Alaric's voice was sexy and enticing, whispering directly into her ear, deliberately pushing her to give in.Emerald was no longer sure if it was the alcohol or her own desires driving her, but she didn't protest. She wanted Alaric even more than he w

The principal’s face turned pale. He hadn’t expected Emerald to respond so decisively."Teacher Greene, we just need an explanation from you. Why are you resigning?" he stammered.Emerald pulled out her resignation letter from her bag, her expression unshaken."I’ve been here a year, and you know exactly who I am. Whether you want to exclude me or ridicule me, I couldn’t care less. But what I do care about is that I don’t need this job, and I don’t want my salary or bonus for this month. Thank you for your concern. This is the end for me. We have a long road ahead, and we will never meet again.""Teacher Greene, don’t leave! We still have things to discuss..." the principal pleaded.Emerald saw through his act—he wasn’t really trying to let her go. He was just looking to leverage her departure for personal gain, using her resignation as a bargaining chip to secure a better position for himself.But Emerald had never taken someone like him seriously.Ariza, who had been so confident mo

On the screen, all Emerald revealed was her chin and red lips. Slowly, the tip of her tongue traced her lips, her voice soft and alluring."Aric, do you want to see more?"Alaric couldn’t quite understand where this girl had picked up such things. His pulse quickened, a rush of excitement coursing through him that felt even more intense than if she were right in front of him.He found himself whispering in a low voice, "I want to..."The last few times he’d seen Emerald, it always seemed like she showed up under strange circumstances. For instance, during the last high-level meeting, she’d made a remark about having "one foot in each boat." And now, these older men were still pretending to be scoundrels, toying with the emotions of younger girls.The rumors about him being in two places in one night had spread wildly, and somehow, even in the bathroom, he overheard the cleaning lady gossiping about it.The gossip was growing wilder, but it didn’t bother him much.

When they left the alley, Anastacia bought two candied haws—one for Emerald and one for herself.That’s when Emerald finally understood why Anastacia looked so youthful without makeup. There was an effortless charm about her, something most people didn’t have.After dropping Emerald off at Jiaoyuan, Anastacia leaned against the car door, looking reluctant. "Sweetheart, I have something I need to take care of, so I have to go. Please, take care of yourself."For a moment, Emerald felt what it was like to be truly cared for. She felt a slight pang of reluctance to say goodbye.But she understood that, just like Alaric, Anastacia had her own things to attend to.So she didn’t ask her to stay. "Okay, aunt, have a safe trip."Anastacia looked at her, and after a long sigh, said, "You don’t always have to be so good, you know. Just remember, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says about you and that brat. Especially with the Corrigan family... don’t listen to a word from them, especially wi

The stinging pain radiated through Emerald’s left ear. It felt as if an old wound had been torn open again.Her hearing on that side faded, and a warm liquid began to trickle down. When she raised her hand to touch it, she saw blood smeared on her palm.A sharp female voice suddenly cut through the tense air. “What did you just do to our family?!”Emerald stared at her father’s mouth as it opened and closed, his angry words blurring into nothingness.Her mind drifted to that summer day—when she’d been happily eating an ice cream cone, only to have Eula slap her across the face. The sharp pain had pierced her ear, and her nose had bled, drop by drop, onto the sweltering pavement.The cicadas buzzed freely in the midsummer trees, oblivious to her pain.Now, her father’s furious expression overlapped with Eula’s in her memory, their cruel postures mirroring each other perfectly.Back then, her ear had been perforated, but with swift treatment, her hearing had recovered over time.Today,

She called her "Mom" so naturally, as if they had known each other for years, with no awkwardness at all.But Emerald still felt a slight discomfort in her chest, unable to voice it. She nodded obediently. "Okay."Anastacia, beaming with happiness, patted her cheek. "Oh, you're such a good girl. How is it that my daughter-in-law is so wonderful!"Emerald stared at Anastacia, lost in thought. She realized that her own mother had never offered her praise. No matter what Emerald did, her efforts were met with harsh words. But when someone truly cares for you, even if you do nothing, they will think you're wonderful.At first, Emerald felt a little embarrassed, but those negative emotions quickly faded.In Anastacia's eyes, she saw genuine love and care, as if she were her own child.Anastacia didn't bring along bodyguards or drivers when she went out, but there was a sleek black G-Wagon parked downstairs.Anastacia waved at Emerald.

Emerald looked into his dark, apologetic eyes, her heart aching. She reached up, gently brushing her fingers across his cheek. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, her voice breaking as she sobbed, "No... I’m just grateful that you chose me. Aric, please come back soon... I’ll be waiting for you at home..."Alaric whispered softly, his lips brushing her hair, "Good.""And no injuries," she added, her voice trembling."Okay," he promised, his hand caressing her cheek one last time before he carefully led her back to the room, covering her with a quilt. He gently stroked her soft cheek with his fingers, holding her close as if he never wanted to let go."Little Moon, I'll be back soon, and I'll bring you a gift. Sleep well." He leaned in and kissed Emerald gently on the forehead.That night, Emerald fell asleep alone in the large bed in the penthouse.She must have been so tired after the previous night that she slept in until noon. Slowly, she started to stir and prepare to get

"Then, who are their parents?""They were the children of a good friend of mine. He died unexpectedly, and his wife passed away shortly after giving birth. So, I raised the children as my own.""I see." Emerald reached out and poked the scar on his chest. "Then, have you ever..."The man leaned in, his warm breath grazing her ear. "What about it?"They had just finished being intimate, and while Alaric had been gentle with her, he was still unsatisfied.Emerald's voice dropped to a whisper, her fingers brushing across his bare chest. "Other women."People are like that. At first, they just want a roof over their heads, food to eat, and everything they need. But then, they become more and more greedy, thinking about other things.Alaric gently nibbled on her earlobe. "Baby, that night three months ago, didn’t you notice how nervous I was?"He had hidden it so well, acting as calm as an experienced man, that Emerald thought she had met someone rough around the edges.But it turned out,

What started as a soft and delicate kiss grew deeper, their breaths intertwining and growing uneven.Emerald held his face, unwilling to part from him, her fingers tracing his sharp features. His usually composed fox-like eyes were now brimming with affection, his gaze tender yet burning.Her voice, sweet and laced with urgency, escaped her lips, “Aric…”Alaric lowered his eyes, his gaze falling upon her petite figure beside him.The white dress clung to her, accentuating her porcelain-like skin. Against it, the faint blush on her cheeks seemed even more alluring, like the soft glow of dawn.His hand moved gently, caressing her cheek with infinite care. His voice was low and soothing as he murmured, “Take your time. I don’t want to hurt you.”He knew better than anyone how delicate she was. It had been so long since he’d touched her, and in the past, he’d always held himself back. But tonight, his restraint was slipping.Even so, Emerald’s impatience was unmistakable. Her longing matc

From now on, she needs to be more mindful. Alaric clearly loved planning surprises, and it seemed like she hadn’t been as considerate as she should have been.What Emerald didn’t realize was that, to Alaric, she was like the bright moon in the sky—so distant and unattainable.The mere fact that she could lower her gaze to look at him was a blessing he’d earned over centuries of patience. All he wanted from her was one thing: to live.He would take care of everything else.After a while, Emerald was freshened up, and she had almost rubbed her skin raw in the process. She even put on a facial mask, hoping to recover from the tears she shed earlier and ensure her complexion looked better.Through the window, the Penthouse Garden was peaceful, with high natural vegetation surrounding it. The air was filled with the sounds of insects and frogs chirping in the night.In the distance, thousands of lanterns lit up the city, casting an ethereal glow. If this had been the scene from her past, E
