Ryan’s hands shivered and throat dried up. He swallowed his saliva instinctively but it didn’t help him much. His mind was under control just a moment ago but a sudden urge began filling it completely, slowly stripping his leadership role.

‘Hug her… Hug her...’ His own voice kept resounding in his mind like a devil luring him to perform bad deeds.

Everything he felt intensified, teasing and seducing him into giving in to his desires. He couldn't find words to describe it but her whole body was like an aphrodisiac.

Her soft fingers that moved on his back, leaving burning traces which didn’t go away.

Her ample chest that pressed against his own, rubbing with each hurried breath she took.

Her heart that pounded rapidly, matching his heartbeat as if they were a pair of horses galloping through the endless grasslands.

Her sweet fragrance that entered his lungs with each waft of air he took, soothing and relaxing his body.

How could he escape from the jail she set up for him? How could he resist giving in to his desire?

Ryan couldn’t answer those questions as his mind already entered another world, having only Rose and him as its center. He wanted to take her everything and finally broke, letting his desires lead him. His arms moved first, slowly closing in towards her bottom.

Rose seemed prepared for any of his actions but when his hands covered her butt, gently grasping it, her eyelids trembled. She clenched her fingers on his shirt as if a sign of her disapproval and he lifted his hands, making her think he stopped.

In reality, he never stopped from the beginning.

Step by step, his palms skimmed upwards from her butt as if he was savoring the perfect shape and firmness of her body. Even though Rose wore a hoodie, she couldn’t hide the tenderness of her belly as he glided his thumbs on her sides, tickling her in the process.

Ryan was in his own wonderland, letting his desires lead him but Rose was panicking internally. She didn’t expect her spontaneous decision would lead to such an outcome.

‘Ahh… Why does he touch all over… Just simply hug me…’ Rose cried out to herself, hiding her flushed face by laying her head on his shoulder.

She could hear her dad already stopping the car next to them so she had no other choice, forced to hide in his embrace. No other man touched her this way, her most intimate moment so far being a normal hug.

His big and warm hands crept upwards, seizing her whole upper body as if it was his to caress and explore. She didn’t know from where did he get the confidence to treat her like this but then she recalled her own last words.

‘Please, don’t hold back… Aaah! Why did I say it?!’ Rose lamented, not expecting he would take her this directly. ‘Should I stop now…?’

Ryan’s hands were already around her chest area and his thumbs would soon reach her breasts. Knowing what happened with her butt where she could still feel his touch, she would rather avoid it entirely. She wasn’t used to such sensation, not fully decided if she liked it or not.

Her idea from the start was to convince her parents that Ryan was her boyfriend and she didn’t lie but for some reason, his dad acted weird. She expected him to come out of the car in an instant and break them apart but he didn’t make any moves yet.

She recalled the pictures of multiple men her mother placed in front of her earlier and made her decision.

‘Just a bit more… I can’t give up now…’ Rose thought, taking the future in her hands. ‘I won’t let them control my life… Never...’

Ryan couldn’t hear her thoughts and continued the journey around her body, sliding his thumbs on her side-boobs before embracing her, rubbing her back with both hands. His face buried in her hair and he finally calmed down.

They have been hugging for more than a minute in such a position and Rose realized something.

She didn’t dislike it.

The was no discomfort throughout her body despite the long hug. She felt warm, cozy and safe, the last one being a surprise for her. Ryan was after all a stranger.

‘Since when am I this shameless…?’ Rose asked herself, knowing her old self would never lead to such a situation.

She didn’t know how many minutes passed when her mind completely relaxed. She stopped thinking about her dad waiting in the car or all of her problems. After this whole time, she could finally say she enjoyed this long hug.

Just when she realized it, something in Ryan changed. He turned around while holding her, facing the car with his back and started entwining his left hand into her hair. At the same time, he leaned over and kissed her earlobe, slowly pulling her away from his neck.

They eventually switched their places as his lips found their way onto her neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses behind. He was so gentle and delicate that only after his second love bite did she awaken from her dreams.

He was kissing her neck!

Before she could react, Ryan attacked her once again, being more aggressive in his third kiss. He moved his hand onto her neck, holding onto it on one side while strongly kissing the other, pulling on her skin as he sucked on it.

Ah…

A soft, uncontrollable moan left her mouth as she dug her nails into his back. She immediately blushed, surprised by her own reaction. She didn’t think of pushing him away but instead moaned, enjoying it.

During her confusion, Ryan kissed her neck once again, repeating his actions. She finally wanted to act and stop him when she suddenly froze, hearing the sound of a car window being opened.

‘My Dad!’ She exclaimed, recalling that her dad was still in the car, waiting for her this whole time. She didn’t hesitate and pulled her hands to the front, sliding them in between Ryan and her with the intention to separate them. Ryan was still holding her tightly, kissing and sucking on her neck despite an obvious danger.

“Rose,” a solemn voice reached them from the car. “Are you done?”

Hearing it, Rose panicked, pushing Ryan away. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy as she thought. She only separated them enough to see his face and wanted to push more to get away from him but halted when their gazes interlocked.

She has never seen such a strong desire in anyone’s eyes like his at that time.

Ryan’s lips were trembling from excitement and his eyes looked at her as if he wanted to swallow her whole, like a wolf holding his prey by the neck right before eating it.

Just as fear began filling her body, Ryan blinked a few times as if he just woke up and the never-ending desire in his eyes disappeared. It got quickly replaced by helplessness.

“I warned you… I can’t control it…” Ryan muttered as he let her free, staring at her with guilt. His kind and gentle gaze was back which let her breathe again but she was left with many questions that bothered her.

“Rose?” her dad’s voice reached them once again, stopping her from questioning him on the spot.

“I’m coming!” She called out across Ryan’s shoulder and ordered while poking him on the chest with her finger, “Stay here, don’t move anywhere.”

She couldn’t let him go this easily after what he did to her.

Covering her neck with a part of her hood, she ran up to the black limousine parked on the side of the road and saw the face of her dad at the backseat window, looking sternly at her. Despite being above fifty years old, he had lush long black hair that even she envied him. Rose expected him to scold her but he stared at her calmly.

“Is that your boyfriend you talked about…?” Her dad asked after a moment of silence. He spoke quietly enough so Ryan couldn’t hear him.

Rose glanced behind at Ryan, wondering what she should say but in the end, she nodded, knowing her dad would go mental if she said he wasn’t. There was no return from the path she chose.

Her dad only glanced at Ryan and didn’t question her further. Instead, he suggested something else.

“How about you invite him for dinner? I will talk to your mother about this.”
