Chapter 91 - First Night (1)**

Jiwon had knocked on the door, but no one answered. "Mirae?" he called out as he entered. The bathroom's light was turned on so she was in the shower. 

He walked towards the bathroom to knock on it when it suddenly opened and Mirae came out of it, almost losing her footing. Jiwon hurried forward and grabbed her. 

"Ah!" she cried but he managed to stop her from falling. What he did not expect, however, was to see Mirae in that flimsy bathrobe.

Jiwon's face flushed with embarrassment. From the angle he was holding her, he could see part of her cleavage. Her body felt soft under his firm grip and he stiffened as the scent of strawberry hit his nose. Jiwon had been with girls before but those were merely casual relationships. Mirae, on the other hand, was beginning to stir something in him.

Mirae looked at him in surprise. Straightening herself up, she looked at him curiously. 

Clearing his throat, Jiwon said, "Umm...we will be moving out tomorrow afternoon. Are your bags ready?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "They're ready."

"Listen…" he started. "I know we're married due to my grandfather's wishes but at this point, I really don't know where all this will lead to. I don't love you but I will fulfill all my duties towards this relationship."

"Can I ask you something?" Mirae asked. 

"Yes?"

"Why did you marry me?" she questioned. "Grandfather gave you a choice. You could have gone with your own wishes. Why did you choose to heed to his wishes?"

"Why did you heed to them?" Jiwon asked back.

Mirae took a deep breath. "My mother told me all about you," she reminisced. "She told me that you were dependable. That you cared about your loved ones a lot. I married you not only because of granfather's wishes, but to protect that person who was so dear to her heart."

Jiwon gave a sarcastic smile. "She was wrong," he said. "I end up killing my loved ones instead. Which is why, I can't love anyone anymore."

He looked at her straight in the eye. "I married you, because I want to protect the person dear to Ms. Sohee's heart." 

Mirae gave a small smile. "So we're two peas in a pod, eh?" she remarked. 

"Yeah," Jiwon smiled back. "Anyways, even if we are married, I assure you that I won't even touch you if you don't want to. You don't have to feel nervous about physical intimacy. We can simply live together and-"

"Why?" she asked directly. Jiwon gaped at her.

"I-I didn't want you to be uncomfortable," he stammered. "Just because we're married, doesn't mean you have to force yourself. I'll sleep in the other room."

He was about to leave when Mirae grabbed his shirt's sleeve.

"I don't want to be alone tonight," she said in a small tone. "Nor do I want you to be alone. Jiwon...it's okay to be a little selfish tonight."

"What if you regret it tomorrow?" he asked quietly.

"It's a little too late for that," she replied, flashing her wedding ring. "Unless you don't want to."

Jiwon stepped closer to her. He was taller than her by a few inches and she looked tiny in front of him. Scooping her face in his palms, he dived in for a kiss.

It was a slow but passionate kiss. Jiwon let go of his apprehensions, as he tasted her lips. Her lips were seductive, luring him in as his tongue entered her mouth. Her hands were gripping his hair and Jiwon's groin was rubbing her private area through their clothes. 

He savored her mouth, biting her lips. Mirae moaned and gasped as his slow kisses tortured her, waking up a passion inside her she never felt before. Jiwon's hands trailed over her body, sending a ticklish feeling throughout her but he did not stop. He was gently pressing her body against his.

"Do you still want to go further?" he asked in a raspy voice, breaking off their intense kiss. It took him his whole willpower to pull back but he did not want either of them to regret it later.

"Yes…" she breathed. "And you?"

Jiwon did not respond, but gently pushed her towards the king sized bed. He caressed her cheek, admiring her smooth skin. He kissed her on the neck, licking it. She whimpered under his touch. He bit into her supple skin, sending shivers down her spine. She felt her clit getting a little wet as he continued to nibble on her neck. 

His hands found the ribbon to her bathrobe. Slowly untying it, he took it off to expose her gorgeously naked self. Jiwon stared at her in awe. 

Under the dim light, he could make out her cushion like breasts and slim body line. Her green eyes were gazing unflinchingly into his dark ones, urging him to continue. He towered over her. His hand massaged her twin peaks. He softly pressed them, making her gasp in shock as her body enjoyed the strange sensation. Rubbing her breasts in slow, gentle circles, Mirae was lost in an ecstatic feeling. 

Looking at Mirae moan under him, Jiwon hastened his movements. Still massaging her left breast, he took the right one in his mouth. As soon as Mirae felt his tongue caressing her, she let out a moan.

"Ahhh…" she mumbled in pleasure as Jiwon sucked on her breast. He licked over her nipple, sending jolts of shocks throughout her body. He tasted her bud, bit into the softness, leaving red marks on it. Mirae held on to his head, pushing him deeper into her breast as he relished her taste.

Suddenly, he pulled away, leaving Mirae in a delirium. Jiwon took off his shirt and pants and tossed them aside. He then proceeded to take off his underwear, to reveal the massive erection underneath.

Mirae gaped at its size. It was huge! Will it even fit in her tiny body? 

Jiwon read her nervousness. "It's not too late to back out," he warned. 

Mirae let out a sharp breath. "I'm not backing out," she said, pulling him into a deep kiss.
