The Cruel Beast’s Desire - Chapter 0
Two bodies, still damp, clung together. Lips met, clad in nothing more than swimsuits.
The kiss was so forceful, so eager, that her body swayed. When Hayeon stumbled backward, Yoonjae pressed forward again. With nothing to hold onto, she couldn’t stay still, constantly moving.
Watery trails remained, marking the path of their movements.
On the calmed surface of the water, the image of the two bodies intertwined as one rippled.
A desire to shut out reason writhed within Hayeon’s heart. The thought that it might not be so bad to follow the desire boiling within her, as he had suggested, also crossed her mind.
But this was a swimming pool.
She didn’t feel comfortable doing this here. Even though her mind knew everything, she didn’t want to stop kissing him. The hot, vivid sensations emanating from their touching bodies were awakening Hayeon.
Her instincts, which had been as good as dead, raised their heads and grew into a wicked desire, consuming Hayeon. What did it matter? Even if Seo Yoonjae had become Tae Yoonjae, he wasn’t a married man, so she wasn’t committing a sin by rolling around with him. Hayeon justified the heat rising within her at this very moment.
“Haa…”
Their bodies, once separated, came together again.
Their lips, which had been sharing breaths, parted and met again repeatedly. The heat enveloping them was so intense that even the moisture soaking their bodies seemed to evaporate.
As the hands, driven by impatience, explored each other’s bodies, they became increasingly blatant. Thick fingers wormed their way between the swimsuits clinging to their skin. The touch that explored the humid heat was unrestrained. The touch, confirming Hayeon’s desire, delved even more persistently. She could feel a faint smile playing on his lips.
In that instant, she snapped back to her senses.
Regardless of who he was, a warning siren blared, telling her that she couldn’t do this here. Hayeon pushed Yoonjae away with all her might.
“Haa.”
Hayeon flinched backward, widening the distance between herself and Yoonjae. She heaved her chest, exhaling the breath she had been holding.
“You started it first… Kang Hayeon.”
As he said, Hayeon had been the one to initiate the seduction. She couldn’t stop because the reason she had come on so strong was pathetic, and yet she was ashamed of how easily she had become aroused by his touch.
No, that wasn’t it either.
If she had to pick the most plausible reason out of countless others, it was because this place, the swimming pool, held all the moments from their first meeting.
Their first meeting. And her shy confession.
Their first kiss and the moment they passionately mingled their bodies.
The swimming pool, with its rippling blue waves, was the beginning of everything for them. Whenever she came to the swimming pool, the sensations that had been actively wriggling inside her came vividly to mind.
The swimming pool was that kind of place for them.
But she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to seduce him either.
Hayeon raised her lowered eyelids.
He had been silently watching Hayeon while her ragged breaths subsided, and then he chuckled.
“I thought you were going to do something, rushing at me without a care, bringing back old memories… How boring.”
He had completely seen through Hayeon’s intentions.
Faced with his mockery, she wondered if she should give up on her plan and retreat. It was true that she was flustered by the faster-than-expected pace, and that she was helplessly falling into the awakened sensations, regardless of her firm resolve, which annoyed her.
But she didn’t want to miss an opportunity like today.
Hayeon gave a faint smile.
“You’re the one who’s become boring… you know that?”
Hayeon tried to impassively watch his brow furrow with a mocking expression. She bit her lips, swollen from the long, rough kiss, and disciplined herself.
“Boring, huh…”
“…”
“You were coming on way too strong to say that…”
She felt beyond embarrassed, humiliated, as if he had seen through everything with just a deep kiss.
“Like someone who missed my body.”
It was petty of him to say things that deliberately provoked her.
When he had told her to follow her instincts.
“You’re the one who’s like a… beast…”
Hayeon realized her mistake as she spoke and bit her lip.
‘Why does it always end up like this? I feel like I’m being devoured by you.’
‘I’m holding back this much. So, let me devour you today too. I’m going crazy for Kang Hayeon.’
‘Ugh, you really are like a beast.’
‘I am a beast in front of you.’
Those were the words that twenty-year-old Kang Hayeon and Seo Yoonjae had exchanged whenever they whispered sweet nothings and mingled their bodies. She was even taken aback by how naturally the words had come out. Her face flushed.
She wanted to run away anywhere, but Yoonjae, still carrying the heat from just now, approached her.
“I guess you’ve forgotten…”
He slowly approached, raising one corner of his lip. He grabbed Hayeon’s chin and pulled her forcefully toward him.
“Kang Hayeon, those were the words you always said.”
Before she could react, his lips devoured hers. His heat, which swept over her in an instant, was so dizzying.
His tongue thoroughly explored her teeth and roughly stirred her tender flesh, making Hayeon feel as if she was being sucked in. It was an explicit kiss that demanded everything, or rather, showed his undisguised desire to take everything.
Tongue intertwined with tongue, and saliva, belonging to no one, was swallowed along with their breaths. The intense kiss, unable to bring their crushed lips any closer, continued for a long time, not hiding even a bit of their frustrated desire.
All the feelings of passionately loving each other had disappeared, and they were following their instincts. Strangely, she felt like she was about to cry.
The memories that surfaced along with the kiss that didn’t hide desire were so vivid. As was her body, which honestly reacted to his touch.
She even had the illusion that she was standing in that place from that time, where all the precious moments of twenty-year-old Kang Hayeon and Seo Yoonjae had been created.
How thrilling the fleeting moments of touching each other had been.
Even the short kisses they shared secretly in secluded places made them keep smiling. They tried to hide it, afraid of being caught, but they couldn’t hide the gazes they exchanged. It was pure and passionate.
But now, she was afraid that even something shallow might remain, and she was faithful to her instincts, lest her heart leak out even a little. The gazes they exchanged were intense, and the kisses were deep and profound.
The fact that it was a luxurious swimming pool inside a mansion, not a place where poor lovers worked and dated, was also a clear difference, just like their hearts.
“Haa… Kang Hayeon.”
He called Hayeon’s name and tilted his head to the side as he overlapped his lips with hers.
Her body, pushed by his strength, slowly retreated.
-Knock knock
The water droplets that had formed on the glass ceiling fell, creating ripples on the calm surface again. The image of the two people gradually disappeared above the rippling surface.
Their lips repeatedly met and parted, and she had only come as he pushed her, but she was already in Hayeon’s bedroom. Just being out of the swimming pool seemed to lighten the memories that had been painfully pressing down on Hayeon until just now. She couldn’t look Yoonjae in the eye, as if she had revealed all her inner thoughts.
“I guess it’s okay here.”
Their overlapping lips parted, and he said in a low voice, panting roughly. He didn’t hide that he had seen through everything about Hayeon.
“Haa.”
The desire flickering in his gaze, which was quietly watching her flushed face, was so intense that Hayeon was the first to meet his lips.
Hot hands fearlessly delved inside her swimsuit. As the moan of a beast, growling low between their touching lips, echoed, she felt like she was going crazy. A tingling sensation traveled up her spine.
-Thud
The swimsuits, warmed by their heat, were stripped off, and they naturally fell onto the bed.
Hot bodies overlapped, and sticky saliva mixed. A sharp sensation spread through her chest, crushed by hard muscles. As the hand that had been parting the water grabbed her soft flesh, Hayeon’s back heaved greatly. The touch that crushed, pressed, and twisted the blooming pistil revealed exactly what it was craving.
“Ahht.”
A moan, which she had never intended to hide in the first place, flowed out faintly.
His rough breathing, burying his lips in her neck, seeped into her heart, not her ears. Something like the fangs of a wild beast sank into the flesh where her blood vessels throbbed.
A terrible pleasure that surpassed pain spread through her blood vessels, tingling. A hand that had delved into a place filled with humid heat pressed down hard on her sensitive flesh.
“Ahheuk.”
Something sticky flowed out of her skin, which was boiling with heat. Long fingers moved, stickily clinging to her.
It was a dizzying pleasure. But her body, which knew the peak of this pleasure, heaved, demanding something more intense.
Something hot that touched the tender flesh hidden in her innermost place wriggled. Her body, which knew the sensation of opening up and stimulating a deep point, honestly poured out hot heat.
A slippery and warm byproduct completely covered the man’s thing, which was advancing with lust.
“Hht.”
The man she had accepted after a long time was unfamiliar and hot. The hot intruder, whom Hayeon was the only one who could allow in the past, finally reached her end.
“Hayeon-ah…”
Gazes mixed with complex emotions intertwined. Only after looking into his eyes did Hayeon finally admit it.
Yes.
She had terribly loved this man. She had hated him, trembling with betrayal,
And she had missed him just as much.
And now.
Hayeon knew everything: that she would love him again, and that she would hate him just as much again. That she wouldn’t be able to stop, even though she knew she would be hurt.
It was a seduction that she had started, and he had come over knowing it.
Because of the man who was gradually accelerating and increasing his speed, the whole world was shaking, and Hayeon hugged his neck.
She couldn’t think of anything right now, so she moaned, entrusting herself to him as he violently delved into her.
Between her shaking gazes, the illusion of that woman was faintly visible. The woman, who looked just like her, was smiling.
‘You’re just a substitute for me.’
A mocking, shrill voice traveled into her ear and confused her mind.
So Hayeon hugged the man who had delved deeply into her even tighter. As if he was someone she never wanted to be separated from again.
“Hold me tighter.”
She wanted to escape from what was tormenting her, even if it meant doing that.
“So, I can’t think of anything…”
He was not the Seo Yoonjae of the past, but Tae Yoonjae, but he willingly granted Hayeon’s request, which was not a request. Hot breaths mixed with beastly sounds burst out between their lips. It echoed throughout the bedroom until late at night.
