chapter 4
The Taehun in her dreams always appeared in a similar way.
He would smile warmly, only to turn cold and distant as if that smile had never existed.
But today was different.
“Don’t go, CEO.”
Taehun growled as he pulled Eunse’s hand down.
“Secretary Han. If you keep acting like this… I won’t hold back anymore.”
Actually, that was exactly what she had wanted.
She wanted to be embraced by his strong, broad chest. A reckless desire tightened her lower abdomen.
The audacious thought made Eunse blush. But if not in this dream, when else could she reveal the feelings she had kept hidden?
Her moisture-filled eyes trembled.
“Don’t hold back.”
Suddenly, Taehun ground out a curse and bit down hard on her delicate lips.
Huh! The heat of his breath, the scent of a man like winter, and the soft, yielding flesh of his mouth rushed over her dizzyingly.
It felt astonishingly real for a dream.
Was this what a kiss actually felt like? She had no experience, so she couldn’t know, but it was intoxicating enough to make her head spin.
Their lips locked, and his intruding tongue wound around her tender flesh.
Eunse’s eyelashes fluttered, and Taehun became more intense. His tongue twisted and pressed deeply into her soft flesh. He greedily sucked up the saliva pooling there and plunged in again relentlessly.
It felt as if even the deepest part of her brain was being combed through. The raw tongue movements went on for a long time.
Thud. She barely regained her senses when her head bumped against the closing door. Eunse opened her dreamy eyes and thought:
It must be a dream.
Her head, which had hit fairly hard, didn’t hurt at all—surely, it had to be a dream.
Of course, that was an illusion. The large hand that had been cradling the back of her head slid down and pinched the soft flesh at the nape of her neck.
Thud-thud, flop.
The sound of her bag, her coat, and Taehun’s coat fluttering filled the air, and gravity seemed to vanish beneath her feet.
Even as she floated in his strong arms, their dreamy kiss didn’t stop.
Finally, her hips touched a soft bed. Taehun’s strong arms pinned her body in place.
He tilted his head and sank his teeth into her pale, smooth neck. His massive frame gave the illusion of a predator biting its prey, yet Eunse felt nothing but a strange pleasure beneath him.
Her body shivered at the sensation of him licking the nibbled spots with a smooth motion. After teasing the boundary between her sweater and neck for a long time, Taehun finally moved.
He lifted her sweater and bra in one motion, revealing her pure, white breasts.
The frantic motion suddenly stopped. Taehun’s piercing gaze fixed on her exposed chest. His eyes didn’t blink, and the intensity made her feel as if they could literally pierce her, leaving her embarrassed.
Eunse had always felt self-conscious about her large chest compared to her frame. Smaller clothes felt tight, larger ones looked shapeless.
‘It’s so big it might look clumsy.’
She tried to cover herself by crossing her arms, but Taehun was faster. Her wrists were pressed down as if shackled. The rebound made her full breasts sway from side to side.
His husky voice sank into her heated ears.
“…Beautiful.”
It was an unrestrained compliment.
No other words seemed necessary.
Her tense heart relaxed at once. Eunse hesitated and met Taehun’s eyes.
Within his dark pupils shone pure desire. In his gaze was the feeling one has when handling something precious and dear.
With a shy face, Eunse moved her lips.
“CEO… show me too.”
His jacket and tie were gone. One button undone, his chest slightly wrinkled the shirt. His bangs had fallen from their passionate kiss.
Perhaps because he was usually so precise and neat, even this slight dishevelment gave off an intensely decadent aura.
“Secretary Han. You’re bolder than I thought.”
His deep voice clung to her eardrums.
“Can you handle it?”
One long finger unfastened a button, then another.
Thunk, thunk. Each button undone revealed his perfect torso, like a sculpted marble statue. The tightly packed muscles flexed, utterly overwhelming.
Eunse, forgetting her shyness, stared at his naked body. Her lips parted, and her breathing grew shallow.
Unconsciously, she licked her dry lips as her eyes followed the next button down.
What… is that?
She frowned at the strange sight.
The lower part of his shirt was raised. Beneath his belt, a thick shape seemed ready to pierce through the fabric.
The dim light and the shadows of his black pants made it hard to distinguish exactly, but…
She could guess it was an impossibly huge size for a human.
‘It’s definitely a dream.’
No way he could really have that.
Even in a dream, this was too much. Eunse waved her tipsy hands helplessly.
At the same time, Taehun’s face twisted as he snapped the belt.
He must be angry. It was too much to imagine such obscene acts with the CEO, even in a dream.
Eunse bit her lips at the thought, feeling embarrassed.
“Sorry.”
Unexpected words came from Taehun’s mouth.
In the fading haze of consciousness, his deep voice sank into her ears.
“Sorry, Secretary Han. I forgot the contraceptives.”
Eunse opened her eyes again somewhere between night and dawn, just before sunrise.
As she sat up, the rustling sheets slipped from her body. She wasn’t naked on her usual soft, microfiber blanket. Everything felt different from when she normally went to bed.
But she had no time to think.
Her throat was dry.
Yesterday she drank everything offered. She was usually lonely, but yesterday was especially so. She hadn’t wanted to sob miserably at home.
Borrowing a bit of liquid courage had turned into overdrinking.
Her staggered steps suddenly halted.
‘This… isn’t my room?’
Just a few steps from the bed, she should have reached the fridge, but she felt nothing familiar.
As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, goosebumps ran over her body.
Turning on a nearby floor lamp, her wide eyes widened further.
This was not an ordinary house. It was like the hotel suite she’d seen in movies, dramas, or even yesterday in her dream.
‘Could it be… I’m still dreaming?’
She pinched her cheek and slapped herself, but only felt the dull sting.
‘Then maybe… the CEO too?’
Her clothes were neatly folded on the bed bench.
“No, that’s impossible. No way. It can’t be. It just can’t.”
Trembling, Eunse picked up her clothes and dressed. Then she quietly opened the door.
The living room where she had kissed Taehun yesterday came into view. Her shoes were neatly placed at the door.
As she picked them up, she froze. Her expression was as if struck by lightning.
What she saw were the shoes… and the object extending alongside the sofa backrest.
A clearly male foot.
‘It wasn’t a dream!’
Eunse squeezed her eyes shut and covered her mouth.
No matter how many times she opened and closed them, the large foot remained, giving away its owner.
Her heart pounded wildly. Clutching herself, Eunse moved silently.
Even with carpet underfoot, she tiptoed as quietly as possible.
Finally, at the door.
Gripping the massive handle, her palms were sweaty.
Click.
She glanced back as the lock clicked open.
Taehun, lying on the sofa, shifted slightly. He didn’t wake fully and soon went still.
Eunse, slipping through the opened door, had a face on the verge of tears.
Click.
The door closed.
In the quiet room, the man lying motionless stirred his hand.
He rested the back of his hand on his forehead and stayed that way for a long while.
Finally…
“Really.”
Beneath his partially hidden eyes, a smooth smile appeared.
