I shrugged off Helen's grip and bolted toward the path, leaving her and Matthew trailing behind. Their anxious calls to be careful and wait for them echoed in the air.Helen was on her period, making it hard for her to keep up. Matthew, torn between attending to her and fretting over my safety, was drenched in sweat.But I couldn't give a damn about anything else. My sole focus was fixated on that damn closed door. Schemes and caution be damned! I'd never felt so clear-headed in my entire life.As long as Colin was okay, nothing else weighed on my mind. From now on, it was all about the ones I cared for. The rest? They didn't mean anything.Finally reaching Nimbus Hotel, I found Suite 5. Memories of being shut out made me push the door with caution. To my surprise, it budged, inching open.Inside, darkness swallowed the room. Even with my sharp eyes, I couldn't make out anything, let alone tell if Colin was in there. Was this a setup? I nudged the door open a bit more and stepped
The best solution was to take it upon myself."I'm willing, Colin. I'm willing."Before the words even settled, his arms wrapped around me, lifting me effortlessly. After the brief dizziness, I found myself on a luxurious bed, enveloped by his scorching embrace.His kisses grew more intense and commanding. His trembling fingers traced every contour of my skin, causing us both to shiver with anticipation as we embarked on a journey of unparalleled pleasure. I embraced the onslaught from my lover, willingly becoming his remedy.As we finally connected, a sharp pang shot through me, but his deep, intoxicating kiss stifled any scream.In the air, sparks ignited, bursting with vibrant colors. A rush of intense satisfaction surged through me from head to toe.I moved in tandem with my lover's embrace, experiencing a rollercoaster of sensations from pain to pure bliss.Surrendering to the rhythm, I was pushed to the bed's edge only to be pulled back and then pinned down with a raw inte
"Damn, that was rough." I bit my lip, trying to endure the soreness in my body as I attempted to move.Suddenly, a figure flashed over. The hand around my waist kneaded restlessly. "Baby, you're just as I imagined. So sweet-smelling, so soft… and you make me so enchanted. I didn't control my strength well. That's my fault. Here, let me massage it for you."My face flushed hot and red in an instant. Hastily, I reached out to grab that hand that was about to cause trouble again, but Colin countered and placed my hand on his slender waist.His skin was smooth, and his muscles were perfectly defined.I pinched his waist in protest, but the more I did it, the more I couldn't help myself. So, I quickly let go.Colin's tall and muscular body trembled slightly. I knew he was hiding his face in my hair to laugh secretly.After such satisfaction, of course, he would laugh.Seeing how pleased he was, if it weren't such a private matter, I bet he'd hold a press conference to announce it to
Suddenly, Colin drew back the curtains. The morning sunlight poured in, casting light upon the messy bed.I raised my arm to shield my eyes from the sun, but through the gaps between my fingers, I glimpsed the scratches on his muscular back.Some seemed deep enough to have broken the skin, with traces of blood seeping out. One must be crazy enough to scratch someone like that. I couldn't bear to look at the sight.Blushing deeply, I pulled up the blanket to cover myself, pretending that none of it had anything to do with me. But Colin still caught me.He glanced down at the oval bite marks on his chest, and once again, a wicked grin spread across his face. "It's surprising how my baby can be so gentle yet so wild. Baby, tell me. Did you enjoy it? Don't hide yourself. Tell me, was it enjoyable? Which position was the most enjoyable?"Damn it. I didn't know how to respond to that. I wondered if his students and colleagues knew he was so shameless.I gripped the blanket tightly, ref
I found it quite suspenseful."Well, well, look who decided to show their face?" A sarcastic voice from behind made me jump.Hearing that voice, I wished I could just disappear into the ground.I was so preoccupied yesterday that I didn't even get a chance to check in with them. I had no idea when they went back. It was no wonder Helen came to tease me so early in the morning.Wait, it wasn't early anymore."I'm not invisible. What's with all this talk about showing up or not?" I intentionally disregarded the keywords.Feeling embarrassed, I lifted my leg and intended to kick Helen. However, my leg lacked strength, and it only moved slightly."Come on, kick me! You can't do it, huh? It's all your fault for prioritizing love over friendship!" Helen laughed heartlessly.Matthew remained silent. He glanced at my neck and smiled knowingly. Turning to Helen, he lifted his hand to pat her head gently and said softly, "Alright, stop laughing like a fool.""Who? You're the fool, not m
His behavior appeared almost comical, akin to a mother hen fussing over her chicks with excessive protectiveness. But upon reflection, it became clear that I had indeed overestimated my abilities. Though I managed to move about, it was accompanied by muscle soreness and an awkward gait.I realized that anyone observant enough could easily deduce my activities from the night before just by witnessing my peculiar movements. As I passed by, not a single individual could conceal their knowing smiles, further amplifying my embarrassment.Despite my attempts to maintain a dignified stride, Colin struggled to contain a smile, his chest vibrating with suppressed laughter.Who was to blame for reducing me to such a state? Did he possess no conscience to mock me so shamelessly? It felt utterly heartless.I was sorely tempted to leave him behind, to briskly walk away and leave him to ponder his actions. But despite my impulse to flee, I found myself unable to act on it. Just as I reached the
It was challenging for me to accept that Jasmine's actions stemmed solely from a desire for partnership. Considering Colin's prior dismissive behavior toward her, it appeared more plausible that she was leveraging the notion of collaboration to address a personal grievance.Her intentions appeared deliberate and driven by a sense of vindictiveness.It became evident that the Taylor family might not have prioritized educating their children on important values. Otherwise, they wouldn't have raised someone like Jasmine, whose aspirations seemed to lean toward becoming a mistress.The fact that she was willing to stoop to the level of drugging others was deeply troubling."She claims to have feelings for you, right? But with all the talk about liking you for years, why does she treat you so badly?""Previously, I never really pondered her feelings toward me. Now, I doubt it's genuine affection she feels but rather a possessive attitude toward those she considers exceptional. As for w
The Jasmine I knew was always soft-spoken. Even her smile was meek, like that of a well-mannered lady. But today, she was another person. Her hoarse voice betrayed a deep sense of fatigue. Her words should have been packed with sadness, yet they sounded like resentment and defeat."Colin, you're not at the club. Did you sleep well last night?"I rolled my eyes. She knew very well if he had slept well or not. Why was she asking such a redundant question? Did she have too much time on her hands?"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Taylor. I slept well yesterday. In fact, it was the happiest night of my life."She made no further response. Only her soft breathing could be heard. I snuck a chuckle. I could imagine her face when she heard what he said."I'm calling to remind you that the meeting at 3:00 pm is very important. Don't be late."Then, Colin left, leaving me crying alone on the bed in the hotel. He told me to wait for him, and I told him yes, I would wait for him. I never aske
