Chapter: 06
A Perilous Seduction
After several rings, the call finally connected.
—Yes.
“Vice President…. This is Jin Yuri.”
—I know.
“I just finished signing the contract. I’d like to give it to you in person. Would now be all right?”
—…….
She could have simply replied by email, but Yuri intended to use the contract as an excuse to meet him.
As she waited for his answer, she glanced at the time displayed on her phone. Oh no…. It’s already past nine.
She had made the decision on impulse and hadn’t thought to check the time. Whether they met outside or she went to his home, it was definitely late.
“…I’m sorry. It’s too late. Then, tomorrow….”
—Where are you right now?
“Oh. I’m in front of my house.”
—Should I come there? Or do you want to come to my place?
Just thinking about meeting him made her heart flutter.
She had been the one to contact him this late at night, so she couldn’t very well ask him to come all the way to her. Naturally, she should be the one to go, and deep down, she wanted to go to his house.
“I’ll come to your place, Vice President.”
—Suit yourself.
After hanging up, Yuri’s heart pounded even harder than before. Perhaps because the alcohol had already spread rapidly throughout her body, her pulse was faster than usual.
As soon as she left the bar, Yuri stopped by a convenience store and bought mouthwash and bottled water. After making a quick trip to the restroom, she immediately got into a taxi waiting along the main road and headed for Hushin’s house.
＊＊＊
As though she were familiar with the place, Yuri naturally walked into Hushin’s home.
Her earlier bold declaration that she would come to his house seemed rather ridiculous now, as she stood awkwardly all alone in the middle of his spacious living room.
Watching her fidget uneasily, one corner of Hushin’s mouth curled upward.
“If you keep standing there like that, I was going to say you’re making me uncomfortable too.”
“I’m sorry.”
Yuri gave Hushin, who was standing opposite her, a slight bow before awkwardly sitting down on the sofa. Unlike the warm air inside the room, the palm of her hand touching the leather seat was cold enough to give her goosebumps.
With his long legs crossed and his back resting firmly against the sofa, Hushin exuded an aura that made him seem completely unapproachable. Yuri found herself shrinking back for no reason as she looked at him.
‘Can I really seduce that man?’
Putting her complicated thoughts aside for the moment, she took the contract file from the bag neatly resting on her lap.
“I liked all the conditions you proposed, so there’s nothing in particular I want to change.”
When Yuri held the contract out to him, Hushin uncrossed his legs and leaned his upper body toward her. After taking the file, he checked the contract all the way to the final page before giving her a strange smile.
“You really liked everything? To the point where there isn’t a single clause you want to change?”
“Yes. I’ll accept everything you proposed, Vice President.”
Yuri spoke firmly while looking into Hushin’s eyes, but her cheeks had turned slightly red.
It was enough to make him wonder if she had been drinking. Her unusually pale skin seemed even more translucent and striking tonight.
Despite the look in her eyes suggesting there were certainly clauses she disliked, Hushin could clearly tell that she was deliberately pretending everything was fine.
Well, she had never intended to ask for any changes from the moment the contract was drawn up. Unless, perhaps, she made a heartfelt plea.
“That’s a faster decision than I expected. Is there anything else you want?”
The moment Hushin finished speaking, Yuri swallowed nervously. She had impulsively come to see him under the influence of alcohol, but she had a plan of her own, and yet she found it difficult to get the words out.
‘Even if it’s just to pay back this humiliation they put me through, I’m going to seduce you tonight!’
She had to seize this chance to properly get revenge on Baek Seol-ah and Jang Hyunwoo. Yuri didn’t want to let such perfect timing slip away, so she decided to gather her courage.
Perhaps it was the alcohol she normally hardly ever drank. Yuri clenched both fists tightly, then relaxed them. Finally, with her trembling lips, she spoke.
“There is…. One thing.”
“Only one? Tell me.”
If getting her meant he could give her anything she wanted as a gift for changing jobs, Hushin was willing to provide it. An officetel? Or perhaps a car? He was simply curious about what she might want.
“I want to sleep with you…. Vice President.”
“…….”
At her completely unexpected words, Hushin’s thick eyebrows suddenly drew together, creating a crease between them.
After remaining silent for a moment, Hushin wore an unreadable expression as he gently rubbed the space between his brows with his long index and middle fingers.
“You’re not going to regret saying that?”
“No….”
“Why?”
“Just…. Because I want to have you at least once.”
“Well. It’s not a bad answer, but I don’t believe you.”
“What?”
Perhaps because she had been driven by betrayal and a desire for revenge? The words had come out impulsively, but there was some sincerity behind them. So when he immediately said he didn’t believe her, she found herself at a loss.
“Tell me honestly. You’re openly coming on to me right now, aren’t you?”
“…Yes. I am.”
Unexpectedly, Yuri admitted it without hesitation, and Hushin could sense the sincerity in her eyes. His heart suddenly began pounding hard, and his pupils trembled ever so slightly.
Her unexpected request had caught him off guard, but Hushin didn’t want to reject her dangerous, almost precarious seduction.
His dark eyes slowly traveled over her fair, delicate skin, as though he had been waiting for this moment.
He wasn’t an innocent enough man to throw away an opportunity like this. He hadn’t wanted to admit it so openly, but the truth was that he had harbored desires for her for a long time as well.
“I’m not really into one-night stands. What should I do?”
“Then let’s meet again. Secretly….”
“Ha, this is driving me crazy.”
Having lost his restraint, Hushin approached Yuri and immediately caught her slender waist. Then he boldly captured her lips with his own.
“Mmph.”
Before she had even had time to think, Yuri’s lips were suddenly taken, and she struggled in his arms. Her hands, suspended helplessly in the air, wandered as though they didn’t know what to do.
Hushin pulled her slim waist tightly against him, pressing her body close to his. As their faces drew near, he tilted her chin up and kissed her deeply. Their hot breaths tangled between their firmly joined lips.
Yuri’s lips were softer and sweeter than he had imagined. Along with her breath came the sharp scent of alcohol mixed with mint, stimulating the tip of Hushin’s nose.
She really had been drinking. And she must have come here fully intending to do this.
Unable to regain her composure because of Hushin’s persistent kiss, Yuri was completely overwhelmed. Everything had happened so suddenly that she hadn’t even had time to prepare herself.
And yet, his kiss was warm and sweet. Unlike the way he had rushed at her so fiercely, he slowly held her lips and gradually deepened the kiss. She was startled when she realized she was already responding to his kiss.
Her struggling body had calmed down, but her hands, which had been hovering helplessly in the air, still didn’t know where to go.
Her clumsy movements only made Hushin more intrigued.
Somehow, Hushin had also become Yuri’s first real kiss.
She had kissed Hyunwoo a few times, but those had only been light pecks where their lips briefly touched. This kind of deep kiss was a first for her.
The sensation of his hot tongue moving through her mouth, accompanied by wet sounds, made it difficult for her to breathe.
Unable to endure it any longer, Yuri reflexively pushed hard against his chest.
“Haa…. W-wait a moment.”
Although their lips had separated, Yuri was still held in Hushin’s arms. With her head lowered, she spoke while her chest rose and fell rapidly.
“I-I can’t breathe.”
“You drank, didn’t you?”
Hushin’s voice had grown hoarse. Hearing his extremely low, deep voice made Yuri feel as though her heart were being squeezed.
It was fascinating that her body could react so strongly to nothing more than a man’s voice, and yet his voice sounded incredibly attractive to her.
“I only…. Had a little.”
“If you’re acting like this because you’re drunk….”
There was an unusual light in Hushin’s eyes as he looked at her. That strange glimmer, as though he desperately desired something, drew Yuri in before she knew it.
“No. I’m perfectly fine. Please don’t…. Stop.”
Yuri clutched the hem of his shirt with trembling hands. She still thought that seducing him had to come first, no matter what.
Hushin noticed her awkward behavior and hesitated for a very brief moment.
It was obvious that this was her first time, and an unfamiliar sense of conscience made him wonder whether he should stop before taking this innocent woman any further.
Or should he simply give in to the heat that was already rising involuntarily from deep within him?
In the end, Hushin chose to accept the innocent woman willingly. From the moment he had decided he would have Yuri, he had already thrown away his conscience. He was, indeed, a bad man.
“You told me not to stop, didn’t you? Don’t just awkwardly hold onto my shirt. Hold me properly.”
“…All right.”
The moment Hushin finished speaking, Yuri wrapped her arms tightly around his solid waist. Her trembling touch gave Hushin a sensual jolt, and whatever self-restraint he had left was already gone.
‘Damn it. This is driving me insane.’
The moment their bodies pressed together and he drew her soft, supple lips into another kiss, Hushin made a firm decision.
Since she had walked into his arms of her own accord, he would absolutely not let her leave easily tonight.
Yuri returned his kiss and wrapped her arms even more tightly around his waist. The gentle kiss from moments ago had vanished so quickly that she could barely remember it. It had instantly become rougher and more intense. The wet sounds of their kisses filled the spacious living room.
As their lips met and their breaths mingled, Yuri struggled to catch her breath while sinking deeper into the heated atmosphere.
Their heated lips locked together, and her perilous seduction had begun.
Yuri’s first kiss with Hushin was incredibly intense. The sensations of his lips against hers and the strange feeling of their breaths and warmth mingling were difficult to put into words.
Even the simple act of their lips meeting and drawing together sent shivers through her body. Because she couldn’t quite adjust the angle of her jaw properly, their teeth bumped together several times, but the strange, sensual tremor continued to rise repeatedly from the tips of her toes to the crown of her head.
She couldn’t forget that first sensation—soft and smooth, almost like holding pudding in her mouth.
Perhaps that was why. Completely absorbed in the unfamiliar sensation, Yuri wondered where she had found such courage as she clung to Hushin first and attempted to initiate more intimate contact.
Stimulated by her clumsy actions, Hushin drew her earlobe gently between his lips. Yuri couldn’t suppress the excitement stirred by the wet sounds beside her ear. Dazed, she tried to take the lead in the inexperienced kiss, only to accidentally bite Hushin’s tongue.
“Ah.”
Startled by his groan, Yuri hurriedly tried to pull her lips away out of embarrassment, but Hushin continued kissing her as though nothing had happened.
Helplessly, Yuri was drawn back into the kiss with him.
