EMERALD’S POV

-----

“꿈.” I breathed, peering at the man in front of me who was a dream indeed. I felt my eyes dilate in anticipation or just desire, studying him.

His eyes were a shade of teal but looked a little darker because of the lighting here. His hair was brown like mine but a shade darker. His jaw was sharp, his face chiselled and his neck too sexy to stop me from keeping my face away from it.

He had a sexy suit on that I wanted to remove badly. It was all the alcohol that I wasn’t proficient to restrain myself but even without it, he would've had such an impact on me. Not that I was ever going to admit it to this beautiful stranger.

“Really?” I heard his voice and I gulped down nervously at the smoothness of his voice with the perfect hint of hoarseness. I didn’t prefer to look ridiculous in front of him or it would bruise my ego.

“Are you a K-pop fan?” I asked him so I could at least know what I was talking about even under the alcohol influence.

“That’s my sister.” He answered and I chuckled. He had answered two questions in that response. He told me that his sister was a K-pop fan and at the same time that the call belonged to her, which meant he was single.

“That’s a wonderful ringtone, though,” I commented and he nodded.

“I’m Emerald, by the way,” I introduced myself and grasped the glass in front of me. My eyes wouldn’t leave him but I didn’t have it in me to hold on. He was mesmerizing and surreal.

“Aiden.” He introduced himself and I nodded as the thoughts of me moaning his name flooded my mind. I didn’t want my face to give it away so I picked up the glass and gulped it down in one breath. My throat burned and I glanced at the glass.

“Whiskey?” I questioned in confusion as I felt the effect of the neat Whiskey kicking in. I had ordered Scotch.

“Mine,” I heard Aiden mutter. When I turned to look at him, he was too close to me. I blinked my eyes as my heart beat faster.

“I…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean…” I stuttered and slurred a bit but my words paused when I saw a very familiar figure in my view.

It was none other than my lovely elder step-sister whom I adored…not. She was in the arms of a guy and when I glanced closely, I remembered I had seen his back somewhere.

He was her fiancé.

If she saw me, she wouldn’t hesitate to ask Dad why I was out. And the fact that I’ll be at a loss because Dad would know that I sneaked out to race and was here partying recklessly while she was with her fiancé.

All pointed towards my loss if she saw me. I had to leave or at least hide to be safe.

At the same time, she stood up and turned towards me. I moved my face and it landed exactly in front of Aiden’s face. I tilted my face to glance at her and she was indeed walking towards the bar counter.

“Oh, shit.” I cursed under my breath. Whilst at one side I wanted to get out of here, I was feeling the kick.

“Anything wrong?” He asked and was about to turn back to check what was making me behave like this when I held his face, making him look at me and cover my face. His eyes gave away his surprise at my action.

“Are you a good kisser?” I asked him and confusion covered his eyes.

“What? Why?” He inquired and I stared into his eyes.

“Because I don’t want my kiss to be wasted,” I answered him and immediately pulled him down to me, kissing him on his soft plump lips.

The moment my lips touched his, I felt ecstasy. I had never felt so hot when I kissed someone and I assure you the list wasn’t small. Our lips had caught up on the perfect sync and I had completely forgotten about my surroundings.

I was too lost to be found but when I was at a loss with my oxygen supply, I had to pull away. I didn’t dare open my eyes so I just rested my forehead against his.

"What do you think?" Aiden breathed which a visible smirk pasted on his face.

“You… it was worth it.” I breathed and pulled back, finally opening my eyes. I couldn’t put a finger where, my body or the surroundings, but the temperature had risen visibly.

I tilted my head to see Kayla had gone back to the table and now her back was facing me. This was the time I had to leave. Even though it was such a pity that I had to rush out now, it was all for the good.

“I should be leaving,” I muttered and got down the chair.

“Put it on my tab,” I told the waiter and scurried out more like, I dragged myself out of there. I already had too much Scotch and then the neat Whiskey shot now had me swinging.

“Not so soon, Emerald. We have a business to finish.” I heard a voice and my hand was caught, pulling me with the person.

“Aiden?” I called out and he turned to me with hungry eyes. My insides churned at the look he had in his eyes. I didn’t struggle but followed him back to the bar but not inside the bar, to the hotel above.

I knew where things were going and I didn’t want to stop. Aiden walked us towards the reception but I remembered I would be caught if that happened.

As soon as we reached the reception, I turned around and hid my face in Aiden’s chest, hugging him. I heard his heartbeat fasten a little and I felt proud.

“We would need the president suite.” He asserted and gave her a name card.

“Mister Aiden…” The receptionist started to mutter and I felt him stop her. Even he didn't want to waste more time.

“We could do the needful later. I need the key.” He declared and immediately put the keycard in his pocket.

“You don’t seem to want to leave me.” He muttered, pushing a hair strand behind my ears.

“What if I don’t?” I asked him, looking up at him. He didn’t answer me but picked me up in his arms. My eyes widened and I immediately hid my face.

“You are a big trouble,” I commented, which sounded muffled because of my face being buried inside his neck and me inhaling his scent, shamelessly.

“Only now you know.” He answered and I sensed the arrogance in his tone. I wanted to retort something but I didn’t want to let go of my energy on wrong things. There was just too much that I wanted to cover in the whole night.

The moment we stepped inside the elevator, I looked up at him and he glanced at me.

“You will know, too,” I said and reached up to his jaw, kissing it. He turned his face and raised me, kissing my lips. I never knew such a kissing position was so hot. I didn’t know how long we were kissing but the pinging of the elevator made us pull away.

He speed-walked towards the room and I was loving seeing him hurry. I could see the desire that swirled in his eyes just like how I felt desire within my eyes and body.

We were outside the door when he paused and held the card in his hand. My body was accepting the door’s support and I perked up at him.

“You consent to this, right? I don’t want you to regret this in the morning because I’m not a person to take advantage of a drunken woman.” He explained and somehow his words felt sexier.

“I don’t do things that I would regret,” I answered and pulled him down for a kiss. He kissed me while opening the door and we both stumbled inside.

“It’s you I want,” I whispered in his ear as we broke the kiss. I worked my hands on his suit and removed it just like how I imagined and surely, it was a sexy feeling.

I unbuttoned his shirt and I already felt his sexy built body through the fabric. I wet myself pooling down there with heat and want. I almost ripped his shirt but finally removed the annoying fabric that was covering a sexy body.

My hands roamed down from his jaw to Adam's apple to his well-built chest to his stomach and finally hooked at his belt, pulling him to me, making our bodies collide.

We both gasped at the effect.

“Tonight, you are mine. Only mine, Aiden.” I warned him, glancing directly in his eyes and I felt him gulp.

“Just like how you are mine.” He declared and picked me up, placing his hands on my butt and easily carrying me towards the room.

And soon, the room filled with our pants and moans, and nothing that we both would regret in the morning.

-----

My head felt heavy but the light was falling on my eyes making me want to open them. I struggled but opened my eyes to see that I was facing the window from where the light fell on my eyes.

I wanted to move but I realised I was being held down by something or… someone who was warm. I managed to turn around to find myself in the arms of the sexy stranger.

Aiden was sleeping soundly and bare-chested. Thinking about the wild things we did last night, I craved more of him. I couldn’t get enough even after we had covered all the places in the room, from bed to couch to the bathroom.

My eyes fell on the watch on the wall and saw that it was almost noon. I gasped as my eyes widened in shock. If I wouldn’t reach home soon or at least by lunch, I’d be dead.

Aiden’s hold on me wouldn’t loosen so it was really hard getting out of his arms. Once out after a lot of struggle, I grabbed my clothes and got dressed. I realised I would gain too much attention in the broad daylight.

Not that I hated attention, instead I loved it but I couldn’t take the risk of being caught here in this hotel that my father owned.

I grabbed Aiden’s suit coat and wore it. I was about to leave when his phone rang. I immediately hung it up before he could wake up. An idea came to my mind.

I checked my phone to click a picture of him but my phone was dead. I didn’t want to lose an opportunity like this so I found another idea.

I opened the camera button without unlocking his phone and clicked a picture of us.

One was of him sleeping while I posed with a ‘V’ sign, the other one was where I kissed his cheek and lastly where I pecked his lips. In all the pictures, my face was covered with my hand or part of my hair.

I found a pen in his suit coat that I had on. I took his white shirt and scribbled it on the back.

“Told you, I don’t do things I regret. Only yours, Emerald.”

I wrote with a small heart at the end. I didn’t have my lipstick to leave a mark on it since I was the one who had thrown it into that car last night.

“I wish to see you again,” I whispered, kissing his forehead and then stepping away. I sighed and immediately exited the room followed by the hotel. I went to the underground parking, picking up my keys from Jerry.

“You alright?” Jerry asked and I blinked at him. I was still picturing Aiden's face in front of me.

“I am,” I answered him but didn’t wait too long for him to find out about my current sad state.

I ran from there towards my car, starting it. I pressed on the accelerator making the roaring noise that echoed the whole underground.

I wanted to go but I also wanted to stay. I knew nothing about that stranger who was messing up my mind but I didn't have a choice of waiting.

“Ah! 미칠것같아!” I screamed, hitting my steering wheel before finally zooming out towards the exit with a heavy heart.

How was I going to handle this?
