All Chapters of Don't Get Me Hot and Bothered: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I chewed on my lower lip in the kitchen, looking at the young man behind me with pitiful eyes as I pleaded, "Please don't tease me anymore…"The young man held my waist tightly and gently sucked on my earlobe. His hot breath fanned against my face as he spoke in a low voice, "Are you going to run away from me again, Vivi?"I slowly closed my eyes as I let out a strangled moan. "N-No, I won't run anymore…"My name was Vivian Woodward, and this young man was Ryan Decker. He was my son's classmate, and also the person I'd had a one-night stand with.A few days ago, I met up with my best friend, Jasmine Holt, at the bar. That was the first time I'd ever laid my eyes on Ryan.He was quite tall for his age and looked cool and aloof. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would be partying at bars all night.I watched him in the crowd from afar. The dim lights were shining gently on his face when he suddenly met my gaze.He made his way through the crowd to approach me. Then, he ca

At the very least, I finally understood why those older cougars liked preying on younger men. After all, who was able to resist such a gorgeous hunk like him?"It's your turn now, Vivi!"I stared at Ryan's muscular body and his impatient text message on my phone. I felt light-headed again, just like how I felt the night I'd met him.My body seemed to react without me controlling it. Slowly, I threw the covers off my body, mimicked the poses I'd seen in photos online, and continued letting my fingers respond like clockwork.I snapped a photo and sent it to him.As lightning and thunder crashed outside the window, Ryan sent me another Facetime request. This time, I didn't reject him.While the storm blew outside the house, we just kept showing each other our bodies on the screen until I was a weak, needy pile of mush on the bed.I could still hear Ryan begging me in his low voice, "Vivi, I really miss you a lot. I'm going crazy just thinking about you…"Ryan turned up at my home

Ryan was so persistent that I ignored him for a while. However, he seemed to have a way with words as he got me to change my mind afterward.We slept together again a few more times after that.When the school holidays came to an end, I suddenly realized that our twisted relationship should never have existed in the first place. So, I decided to give Ryan the cold shoulder.Still, Ryan managed to convince me to meet him one more time over dinner.We went to a restaurant that offered private dining rooms. As soon as we sat down, however, Ryan started getting handsy with me.I slapped his hands away."What's on your mind?"Ryan seemed to know what I was thinking and looked at me curiously.The waiter interrupted us just then with our order. He praised me and said, "Your son's a real good-looking chap."I felt uncomfortable about the compliment, so I just smiled awkwardly back at the waiter.Meanwhile, Ryan just chuckled cynically like I was a female student he was teasing at sc

I laughed and cut Ryan off."It's fine. I've already been around for a long while, so I've seen worse. Just promise me that we will never contact each other anymore after I've given you the painting. Okay?"Ryan was shocked when he heard me. He had wanted to explain things, but with how I was acting with him, it wasn't necessary anymore.We both fell into silence. The passion between us had long gone out. So, this was how the curtains would be closing on our relationship. No matter how eager and passionate we used to be with each other, everything had completely disappeared without a trace.I gave "The Starry Sky" to Ryan. He took it from me, at a loss of words for a while.He then told me that he would transfer the money to me after he'd gotten the painting verified.He seemed to want to tell me more, but I didn't want to listen to him anymore. So, he could only leave with a heavy heart.Even if I had been gravely injured by my ex-husband before, I never felt as hurt and wounde
