"Keren No. 18, room 1."
Eranthe Taylor sent the room number but not to her boyfriend Dylan Miller.
This decision was made half an hour after discovering his affair.
At that time, the woman's foot was provocatively roaming up and down his leg. Both parties seemed to enjoy the thrilling game, believing that no one would notice.
When the doorbell rang, Eranthe came to her senses, adjusted her clothes, yes, she was willing to call them ‘warrior’s garment’, which was the birthday gift she tidied up and should have been unwrapped by Dylan.
As the door opened, she was almost overwhelmed by the man's passionate kiss. All she could see in her line of sight were a pair of eyes with a hint of erotic tidal emotion at the corners, until the high bridge of the nose grazed her own, allowing her to finally recognize the visitor - Colin Rodriguez.
However, Colin didn't give the woman in his arms any chance to react. By the time he realized what she was wearing underneath her bathrobe, he had already pulled her close to the full-length mirror by the door.
There was a hint of pleasant hibiscus scent on his body, and after a moment of hesitation, Eranthe closed her eyes and let herself sink into the moment.
Perhaps her initiative had ignited something in Colin, as he was passionate in a way quite different from her previous impressions of him.
But what Eranthe didn't know was that just as the elevator door rang, Dylan had walked to the door and witnessed the scene.
Colin had one hand pressing her hands against the top of her head, while using the other to play with her hair. His entire body shielded Eranthe. As Dylan angrily prepared to charge inside, Colin turned his head, gave a wicked and audacious smile in Dylan Miller's direction.
Dylan's face turned ashen instantly.
Colin kicked his long legs, and the door closed completely, emitting the distinctive sound of a hotel room door.
Dylan might never forget that scene for the rest of his life, but it didn't matter to anyone else, who cares?
"Is this your first time with a man other than Dylan Miller?" Colin's voice echoed in the darkness.
Eranthe didn't respond.
His breath tickled her ear as he reached around to encircle her thigh from behind, lifting her up. Her legs entwined around his body.
He pressed her forcefully against the wall, their hips grinding against each other. She let out a seductive gasp as a wave of heat swept through her body, breaking down all internal barriers and surging forth like a spring tide.
"Feeling alright?" he murmured playfully in her ear.
She bit her lip, nodding, but Eranthe could only remember the latter part roughly.
Suddenly, she remembered an earlier conversation during a gathering when someone had commented about Colin's physique, saying he looked particularly impressive.
She thought she might have the chance to validate that statement in the future.
3:51 AM.
After plugging in her phone to charge, she noticed she had 30 missed calls from unknown numbers.
Eranthe had no interest in returning the calls because she suspected that Dylan had noticed he was blocked and used other people's phones to contact her.
Outside the window, the day was still overcast.
When she woke up, she found herself alone in bed, so she assumed that Colin had already left.
The scattered clothes on the floor had been neatly placed on the couch, and the air conditioning was set to the most comfortable temperature.
She pulled back the covers and sat up, realizing that their previous judgments of Colin had been somewhat shallow. At the very least, she had enjoyed a lot last night, an extraordinarily fantastic experience.
However, she didn't plan to stay here much longer.
She had initially come to celebrate her birthday with his boyfriend, Dylan, who perhaps should be called her ex-boyfriend, but given the circumstances, she thought it would be a waste of time to stay here.
It was more productive to return to work at her company. At least that would make her boss happy, unlike the current situation which only brought her trouble.
Eranthe selected her clothes from her suitcase, deciding to leave. When she was in the middle of picking her outfit, the bathroom door opened.
Colin hadn't expected to come out from his shower and get a pleasant surprise.
The woman had a great figure, and though she was slender, she had curves in all the right places.
Her slightly wavy long hair accentuated her smooth honey-colored skin. Maybe it was due to their recent passionate sexes just now, her skin still carried an appealing faint pink hue.
She looked absolutely captivating, almost like a seductive enchantress.
That was Colin's deepest impression.
Eranthe hesitated for a moment at the sight of Colin, but quickly regained her composure.
Her gaze was now openly assessing him.
It was a more audacious appraisal than before, considering that Colin had previously given her the impression of being disciplined, reserved, and aloof.
Last night she had revealed a completely different side of him.
Colin didn't shy away from her scrutinizing gaze and simply allowed her to assess him. He was quite relaxed about it.
Water droplets, still not dried from his shower, trickled down along his well-defined muscles, rolling beneath the towel. In the dim, yellowish light, Eranthe found herself inexplicably tempted to wolf-whistle to him.
"Mr. Rodriguez," she said, only realizing her throat was quite hoarse.
A light chuckle followed, obviously coming from the man.
The current situation clearly wasn't appropriate for polite small talk.
Eranthe, in her exasperation, blurted out, "I feel like you staring at me like this isn't very appropriate."
After all, he still had a towel around him, while she only had her long hair. And the situation wasn't exactly flattering.
"Do you mind if we do it again?" he inquired.
"?"
Eranthe was left utterly bewildered. She stiffly turned her head, thinking she must have misheard.
She never thought there would be any follow-up story with this man!
"Pa…"
The lights in the room went out with a click, and the man hoisted her up by her waist. Eranthe instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Lost in her feelings, she only then heard him whisper in her ear, "Sorry about this, but I couldn't resist a second helping."
Eranthe wasn't sure when Colin had left; all she remembered was that she slept until three o’clock in the afternoon. She didn't expect someone like Colin, a busy man, to have the time to sit down and chat about their experiences from the previous night. He was handsome and skillful, though, so she didn't lose out; she got a great deal. However, she didn't anticipate that their second meeting would come so soon. … The resort was newly developed, known for its serene environment, which also meant it was far from the city center. She didn't realize it would be so difficult to find a cab. "Get in," Frank Wilson pulled up in a car just in front of Eranthe. She was somewhat surprised because she didn't think the landlord of this development area would remember someone like her. "It's hard to get a cab in this suburban area. Where are you going?" Frank casually asked. "To Wilson Road." "On the way, get in, we're going back." Since he said that, Eranthe didn't want to be difficult.
"No." Eranthe was unsure of Colin's intentions. Surely, he wouldn't expect her to write a report on last night's events for his approval. Upon hearing her response, the man chuckled lightly. Coupled with his consistently indifferent face, everything seemed so surreal. "Last night, weren't you bold enough?" After a brief silence, Eranthe lifted her eyelids and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Rodriguez and I had a mutual agreement. You wouldn't be thinking of settling scores now, would you?" She and Dylan had each cheated on the other with an unmistakable affair, but she chose to take advantage of Colin Rodriguez, who Dylan couldn't afford to provoke. The only miscalculation was that Colin, who should have stayed out of it, ended up at once in front of her. Colin didn't immediately respond. The car continued to drive smoothly, and just when Eranthe thought he wouldn't say anything more, he uttered something that surprised her. "Do you mind trying long-term sex partnership?" E
There was no need to turn on the speaker. In the already quiet environment, his voice was filled with malice and menace.Eranthe was infuriated, her chest heaving up and down.That bastard! While her promotion depended on her own abilities and efforts, he did have the power to make her life difficult in the company. After all, she didn't have such a powerful and influential father as Dylan’s.Colin pinched her face, looking at her with a smirk.His thin lips curved slightly, and Eranthe realized that he had discovered her little secret in her heart."Don't bite so hard," Colin suddenly warned.Blushing, Eranthe, unsure where to look, realized that she was completely exposed while he remained neat and composed.Her disheveled appearance contrasted with his impeccable attire, making her feel embarrassed and lacking any sense of authority.Just as she was lost in thought, he fiercely sucked on her lips, his tongue probing deep into her mouth, stealing away all her breath until she was br
Eranthe stared straight ahead and only then noticed there was a woman sitting in Dylan's lap. Dylan's hand was slipping under her skirt.It was the first time she had seen Dylan like this. Before this, he always acted like a gentleman in front of her.As Dylan spoke, the atmosphere in the private room was instantly ignited.Someone intentionally stirred the pot, using a vulgar tone, "What's the matter? Didn't serve Mr. Miller well at night? Forget it, the little beauty doesn't understand, why not come over and apologize to Mr. Miller?"All kinds of eyes fell on Eranthe, and none of them were friendly.She knew tonight was a setup, but the current situation was far from optimistic.Dylan had just pushed the woman off him, tapped the marble countertop in front of him, and said, "What, are you scared? Come over and drink all this alcohol. I'll give you a chance to kneel and apologize."If it was still within the realm of teasing before, now it had turned into an insult.Some men couldn't
Dylan was completely stunned and, when he finally reacted, attempted to counterattack.The screams in the private room immediately erupted.In the midst of the chaos, the door was kicked open directly.Frank was about to speak when he heard Eranthe's bold statement. He rushed in first.His gaze, filled with ambiguity, landed on the guy behind him, and he whistled."Dylan, quite a lively scene you've got here. Why didn't you call us out to play?" he said.As he spoke, the person behind him restrained the bouncers in the room, patting him on the shoulder to make him step aside.The onlookers, who were initially considering joining the commotion, suddenly fell silent.They watched as Colin, entering with Frank, calmly took a seat.The air in the room instantly grew tense, and a vacant spot was willingly created at the center.Colin nonchalantly sat down, his distinctive features blending into the vibrant lights of the room, casting a mysterious allure.Judging by his attire, he had likel
Eranthe pushed him away, her hands clenched into fists.Colin's suggestive remarks were too strong, but She couldn't understand why Colin, who had experienced the casual relationships with so many women, would be entangled with her. Why her?Things seemed to have become a little bit complicated. Colin was just a tool she used to counter Dylan, and she really hadn't thought about any further development with him. But the current reality was that she had provoked Colin, a mysterious and formidable figure, and now she couldn't shake him off!Frank watched coldly from the side, not intending to intervene.Seeing that things were getting out of hand, someone stood up and said, "Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Wilson, we have some urgent matters to attend to in our company. We'll leave first."Seeing Colin's lack of response, they all got up to leave."Where are you going?" Colin stopped them, lit a cigarette, and said, "We've ordered so many good drinks. It's a waste not to drink them out.""Ok, yes
Colin raised an eyelid. "You're overthinking it."Although she had guessed the answer, hearing him admit it so blatantly brought a sense of annoyance, feeling like she was being treated as a plaything.However, his clear acknowledgment was better than Dylan's deceitful use of love as a guise.On this side, Colin had already withdrawn his hand as if the ambiguous and teasing words spoken earlier weren't uttered by him personally."I was just speculating. Since that's the case, Mr. Rodriguez, I refuse your proposal."Colin raised an eyebrow. "Have you really thought it through?"Eranthe found it amusing. This man in front of her, sometimes seeming rude, would, at certain times, pretend to be very gentlemanly, always asking for her opinion, even in matters between the sheets."As you've seen, I just experienced betrayal. My trust in men is almost at zero. So, in this state, I have no intention of starting a new relationship.""But what I'm proposing is a long-term sexual partner. We only
Eranthe's hand paused, and then she opened the documents on her desk to check the upcoming schedule and team meetings.Acacia patted her shoulder. "You went out with Dylan before. Have you seen Colin? Is he really as handsome as in the photos?""I didn't notice," Eranthe replied after a pause.Acacia nodded without suspicion."Oh, don't forget about the department gathering tomorrow night. I can see that Galina is well-prepared this time. Mr. Harris, that old lecher, has been eyeing you for a long time. With the news of Dylan breaking up with you, he might try to take advantage. You need to be smart, and if all else fails, consider making a quick exit."Eranthe felt overwhelmed at the thought of the upcoming situation. "Okay."The department gathering was scheduled at a newly opened club, considered a high-end venue.Throughout the day, Acacia complained to Eranthe about how it was always them, the small fry, who had to split the bill with the leaders, and then endure their inappropri
