ENTRY 15.4 *** “You should try this style. It’s quite comfortable in the eyes,” Claire uttered. “This is better,” Ethan said as he pointed to the black leather couch. Claire arched her brow. “You called me for help, right? Now, that I am suggesting it, you don’t like it. So, what’s the purpose?” Ethan walked closer to her. Claire didn’t move and just met his gaze. “Look… I don’t want to argue with you as if we’re like couples here—” “I’ll leave then,” Claire interrupted and turned her back away from him, but Ethan stopped her by grabbing her arm. She closed her eyes for a few seconds to suppress her anger and then turned to him. “What? I still have works to do—” “It’s daytime. You worked at night,” Ethan interrupted and looked at her intently. Claire arched her brow and wanted to tease Ethan and will teach him a lesson or ruin her mood. “Someone book a sex session with me and…” she glanced at her wristwatch, “—I need to meet him… now,” she added and gazed at Ethan. Ethan frowned. “I thought you’re not into having sex with anyone—” Claire scoffed. “I need to engage with an accurate sex—” “So, mine is not?” Ethan sneered and pulled her closer to him. At this moment, Claire knew that they had already drawn people’s attention. “You always hurt me, Ethan, and I don’t need that. I want to feel the desire and the satisfaction. Do you think just because I’m letting you fuck me, I am already satisfied?” she let out a sarcastic laugh, “the answer is no. No, I haven’t even felt the pleasure—” “Liar,” Ethan asserted and gritted his teeth. Claire was about to talk when Ethan dragged her away from the store. They continued to walk until they reached the restroom on the mall’s third floor. Ethan pulled her towards the ladies’ bathroom and locked the door as he let go of his grip on her.
“We only had sex twice, Claire. How could you even enjoy it when we just do it for a few minutes?” Ethan asked; his eyes were pierced by Claire’s. “We’re both busy, especially me—I have to run a company since my twin brother is irresponsible. And you’re no different with him. You made sex addiction as if it was a game that was so easy to be played.” Claire couldn’t find the right words to respond. She can’t help but blame herself. However, the book session is just a lie. She indeed stops having sex with anyone else, even Aiden. Claire rolled her eyes and was about to walk when Ethan stopped her. “If you can’t—” “I understand you. And it’s better if we cut ties—” she didn’t finish speaking when Ethan slid his hand into the back of Claire’s head and brushed his soft and warm lips into hers. Claire’s eyes widened, and her heart started to thump fast. When she met Ethan’s eyes, she even wished to get vanish. And only Ethan can make her feel like this. The hatred that she felt every time Ethan ignored her grew deeper and indifferently took the path. She’s slowly falling to his charms. Ethan deepened the kiss and slowly moved forward. He enveloped his hand into her waist as he pulled her closer to him. His lips nibble hers and suddenly bit it, making her part her lips, and Ethan got the chance to dart his tongue inside her mouth. He started to savor her mouth as their tongue started to fight. She lied when she said that she couldn’t feel pleasure in Ethan’s kiss and touch, when in fact, she’s getting addicted to it. She wanted more. More of his kisses… his touch… She can’t identify if this is love or just admiration. Whatever they have now—whatever their status at this moment, she could say that she’s contented, but the fact that Ethan never enters her core irritates her. She can’t help but overthink. Does Ethan consider her a dirty woman? She admits her work is inhumane, but she needed money for her daily living. However, seeing Ethan slowly getting attached to her made her at ease that the man shared the same feeling as her. She decided to stop having sex with other men except for Ethan. At first, it was hard for her since she was getting used to it. Especially Aiden and her had sex almost every day. Sometimes, they even had sex thrice a day or twice an hour. Ethan always saw them doing that, and the man seemed unbothered. This made Claire challenge
herself. If she can have Aiden, why can’t she have Ethan? That’s why she tried her best to work hard and even do things that Ethan would get interested in. However, the man doesn’t give a damn about her. Not until she decided to quit her other job. Ethan let go of her lips and smirked. “I hate the way you respond to my kisses.” Claire frowned. “Kissing is not that important.” Ethan shrugged his shoulder. “But I love kissing more than fucking,” he replied, making Claire’s jaw drop. Ethan opened the door and glanced at her one more time. “Do you want to book a session with me?” “W-What?” her eyes widened when he asked. Ethan put his hands inside the pocket of his pants. “Meet me at my condo every three in the afternoon,” he said and started to walk away. Claire’s frowned as she stared at Ethan’s back. “Seriously?” she whispered and caught up with Ethan. “Hey,” she pulled him, which made him put to a halt. He arched his brow when he met her eyes, “— when do we start?” she asked. Ethan smiled. “Starting tomorrow. 3 pm. She arched her brow. “Why three if we can do it anytime? Let’s live together,” she asserted bravely. She bit her lower lip while waiting for Ethan’s answer. “Sure.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
