Forbidden Desire

There wasn’t a request this man could make where my answer would be no. In this case, it wouldn’t be any different; of course, I would go with him wherever he wanted. I would follow him to hell if he were holding my hand. I didn’t know what excuse to give my aunt, but nothing would stop me from traveling with the man I love. He gazed at me with his beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and I knew I was incapable of saying no to him.

“I would love to!”

He smiled at me, and I knew there was nothing I wouldn’t do to keep that smile on his face. He had surprised me in every possible way yesterday; I never thought he would make such an effort to surprise me and make me happy, and I would do everything to make him as happy as he was making me. We lay there for some time in silence, exchanging caresses while the sound of birds singing filled the room.

“I have to go to my room!”

He looked at me seriously as if reprimanding me.

“Your room is here.”

“Love, my aunt will wake up and realize I’m not there.”

“Just stay a little longer?”

His voice was so pleading that I couldn’t resist, and I began to kiss him while caressing his chest. After some time, I had to get up, and I made my way to my room with a smile so persistent on my face that my cheeks were starting to ache. I took a long shower, and I could feel him present all over my body; my breasts and lips were sensitive from how much he had sucked on them, my skin had some marks from the hickeys he left, every corner I touched brought back a memory from the night before. When I finished my shower, I dressed quickly, and despite not having slept, I was happy and full of energy.

I noticed it was still early, so I sat on the bed and grabbed my sketchbook, tracing lines that didn’t seem to make much sense at first sight, and I didn’t even know what I was drawing until I realized it was the lines of Jason’s neck. I gave a silly smile and wondered if I would ever find something that brought me more inspiration than him. I got completely lost in the drawing, so concentrated that I didn’t notice the hours passing. When I looked at the clock, I realized it was already past the time my aunt usually calls me. How strange… I left the notebook on the bed and went to the kitchen; when I arrived there, I saw that my aunt had already taken things to the dining room and was finishing putting some pancakes on a plate.

“Good morning, Aunt! Why didn’t you call me?”

She pursed her lips and squinted before responding to me indifferently.

“Mr. Park’s orders.”

My heart seemed to stop beating for a few seconds.

“What? What do you mean? Did you do everything alone?”

“No. Bianca is already serving Mr. Park.”

“Bianca?”

She nodded, but didn’t give any more details despite me waiting for them.

“So, what should I do?”

She shrugged, and I was increasingly sad about the way she was treating me.

“Aunt?”

She took her time, but after a while, she looked at me, and I could see the sadness in her eyes.

“Did I do something?”

She chuckled mockingly.

“You know what you did, but if you want to keep pretending, then I’ll do the same. I just don’t want to be here when you get disappointed. Because I know you will.”

I lowered my head; although I was happy now, I knew that the higher I climbed, the greater the fall would be, and unfortunately, my fall had a name and surname.

“Now take those pancakes to the dining room.”

I picked up the plate and turned my back to leave, but before I could go, she said.

“Go quietly and how he’s already smiling and charming the new girl like he did with you.”

My heart squeezed, and I felt a chill in my stomach; my whole body seemed to freeze, and I stood still for a few seconds before starting to move. I went to the dining room, approaching slowly without making any noise, and I could hear some laughter.

“No! I swear! I didn’t know this pitcher was so slippery.”

“It’s okay, I think everyone who works here has to drop something; it’s like an entrance ritual.”

“I’m so embarrassed.”

“Hey, it’s okay!”

“Thank you for being so understanding, Mr. Park.”

The way she said his name sent shivers down my spine.

“What’s your name again?”

“It’s Bianca, but you can call me Bia.”

“Bia? Okay, Bia!”

I heard his laughter, and I entered the room slowly, seeing the two of them a little closer than I would have liked. She seemed to have spilled orange juice on the table and was cleaning it with a cloth, or at least she was, because now she was completely frozen, staring at him while he smiled at her. Even from behind, I could see how beautiful she was; she had long brown hair that was loose in waves, and her body was slim and sensual like Jinhee’s. Well, the kind of woman he likes. I spent some time watching them staring at each other, and they seemed not to notice I was there. Jason, with wet hair, was still wearing a white tank top that showed off his well-defined physique; he was breathtaking, and I perfectly understood why she couldn’t take her eyes off him. He had that effect on us women, and I was very silly to imagine that I would be the only one to feel this way. I tried to sneak out, but he finally seemed to notice my presence, and his expression changed completely; he, who was completely relaxed in the chair before, seemed to straighten up, and his smile faded.

“Jane, I thought you’d still be sleeping.”

“As you can see, I’m not.”

My voice came out harsh, and he looked at me confused as I continued standing as if I were finishing analyzing the scene I had just witnessed. He saw that I was staring at the woman next to him, and his realization finally seemed to dawn on him. He gave a smile and began.

“Jane, this is Bianca. She started today.”

She turned to me and bowed slightly with a smile on her face; I could see that her face was flushed, and I knew that this was Jason’s effect. Try as I might, I couldn’t return that smile.

“I thought it was ‘Bia.'”

I said mockingly, and she seemed even more flushed while Jason, despite lowering his head, seemed to be amused by it.

“Can you give us a minute, Bianca?”

She looked at me and then at him, looking confused; my face was totally expressionless, and this seemed to make her even more lost. She bowed to him once again and then left the room. Jason and I stared at each other for I don’t know how long, but it was enough time for the mischievous grin on his face to annoy me.

“What was that?”

“You tell me!”

His smile seemed to grow even bigger, and that just annoyed me more.

“Anyway, you don’t need to say anything. I’ve seen this scene before, and I know how it ends.”

I was about to turn around when his voice invaded the room.

“And my pancakes?”

I looked at the plate full of pancakes in my hand and took a deep breath before going to the table and placing the plate on it. I was turning to leave when he grabbed my wrist, making me sit on his lap.

“Come here, my jealous one!”

He smiled and seemed to be enjoying the situation while I tried to pull away and get up from his lap unsuccessfully, as he was much stronger than me. He grabbed my waist and began to pepper kisses on my face.

“Stop being silly. She’s going to work here; is there any harm in me knowing her name or treating her well?”

“There’s no problem at all; you can do whatever you want, and I have nothing to do with it, after all, I just work here too.”

I tried to get up once again, and this time his mood seemed to vanish because his grip became firmer, making it impossible for me to stand up, and his voice came out in a warning tone.

“Hey! Stop. Don’t do that.”

“What?”

“You’re comparing yourself to her just like you did with my secretary even after I told you not to do that.”

His face was serious, and I lowered my gaze unable to meet his. He took a deep breath and lifted his hand to my chin, making me look at him.

“I’ve already said I want to be with you, and I think I made that pretty clear yesterday. Or did everything I did mean nothing to you?”

His voice was calm as if he were talking to a child, and I felt embarrassed by my behavior for a few minutes.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Of course, it meant something.”

“Then, can you give me a vote of confidence?”

He said, looking at me, and then gently pressed our faces together, leaving a soft kiss on my lips.

“Please.”

I nodded, and he pulled me into another kiss while caressing my face.

“The last few days have been so turbulent, so let’s try to be at peace?”

I nodded again, and he pulled me into another kiss, his hands trailing down my back as he held me close.
