Chapter 1: Off the Job Description
"Ahhh..."
After being consumed by sorrow for so long because of her ex-husband's betrayal, Maura's luscious lips released a soft sigh that night, unable to resist the warmth of a man's embrace.
Even though she knew what she was doing was inappropriate, the touch of the man she had randomly met at a nightclub a few nights ago truly shook Maura's resolve as a woman who had always guarded herself.
Everything would be ruined. If her ex-husband knew what she was doing tonight, Maura would be utterly humiliated.
Even so, she didn't care. Already in too deep, she might as well go all the way. She considered it a form of entertainment—after all, she was no longer anyone's wife since Alexander, her ex-husband, had filed for divorce three months ago.
However, the family court had yet to issue the final divorce decree because Alexander didn't truly want their marriage to end.
He claimed he didn't want a divorce, yet he tormented her by bringing his pregnant mistress into their lives. How could Maura's heart not break? For the sake of having children, Alexander had been so cruel as to play with fire behind her back.
Even more painful was that Alexander's actions were fully supported by his family, which only strengthened Maura's resolve to give up. Memories of the pain she had endured while being Alexander's wife increasingly made her lose control, prompting her to engage with the man currently holding her.
Without hesitation, Maura wrapped her arms around the neck of the handsome man with tattoos covering his athletic body.
"Why stop? Isn't this part of your job, too?" Maura asked without taking her eyes off him.
The handsome man, whom Maura assumed was an escort, didn't answer immediately but only gave a slight smile.
"As per our agreement, my role was just to pretend to be your partner at your ex-husband's wedding," he said, pausing for a moment before tracing Maura's beautiful face with his fingers.
"But if you want more than that, it's fine. I'm willing to do it voluntarily."
"Voluntarily?"
"Hmm, consider it a bonus... It's my job to entertain you," he replied, reassuring Maura that she hadn't made a mistake in choosing her paid companion.
"Do it. Even if I have to pay more, I will," Maura said, nodding with resignation.
Once given permission, the man resumed his actions and positioned himself for intimacy.
"I will do it. You can ask me to stop if you change your mind."
"Yes... Do it now," Maura requested, extremely nervous.
Even though it wasn't her first time, Maura was still incredibly nervous. Her heart pounded erratically as she constantly wondered what would happen next.
Like a real couple, Maura felt the sincerity and gentleness of this man in pleasing her. Not intending to compare, but Maura honestly had never felt such extraordinary pleasure during her marriage to Alexander as she did that night.
His thoroughness in bed made Maura think it might be due to his extensive experience. Little did Maura know, the man with her had never been intimate with anyone before.
Furthermore, he wasn't a paid companion as Maura assumed, but the son of a wealthy family who was experiencing emptiness in his life. Adrian Blackwood was his full name. However, in front of Maura, he was reluctant to mention his full name, only introducing himself as Adrian.
Out of pity and curiosity, when the miserable woman approached him, Adrian agreed to Maura's proposal to be a fake partner and accompany her to her ex-husband's wedding.
Without much discussion, Adrian, who was indeed fed up with his life's direction, was intrigued by this absurd idea. Unexpectedly, after attending her ex-husband's wedding, Maura became even more miserable and visibly broken, making Adrian feel sympathetic.
What began as an attempt to comfort her unexpectedly ended up in bed, leaving Maura completely misunderstanding the situation.
Coincidentally, as a grown man who had long desired something like this, he was tempted. Maura's attractive body and beautiful face managed to ignite his desires and move him to take advantage of the situation.
Although he was inexperienced in practice, his theoretical knowledge was unquestionable—Adrian was well-versed in how to satisfy a woman. All this time, he had only heard stories from others and his close friends' experiences.. Still, that night Adrian experienced it himself and understood that the pleasure of making love was unparalleled.
It was no surprise that this caused Adrian to lose himself and disregard Maura's pleas to stop.
"Adrian, stop... I'm tired," Maura mumbled, trying to push against Adrian's chest with her remaining strength.
Instead of complying with Maura's wishes, Adrian pinned Maura's hands above her head and continued his movements.
This was truly unbelievable, particularly since he had assured Maura she could ask him to stop at any time.
In reality, Adrian was unwilling to end their encounter before he reached his peak of pleasure, despite Maura having already reached hers multiple times.
"Adrian, stop... let me go!"
"Just a moment, Maura. I'm almost there," he replied, his breathing growing more labored, and Maura understood exactly what he meant.
"No, not inside... we're not protected—"
And then it happened.
