Let me know what you think & as always, happy reading!
â The Break Up & The Wingman.
âPaying separately or together?âÂ
The waitress questions politely, shoulders tensing as she asks as if she already knows what the man in front of you is going to say. Thereâs a hint of pity in her eyes when she meets yours, like she knew how this night was going to end the second you walked in with the man you spent the last year with.Â
âSeparately.âÂ
A quiet huff of disbelief leaves the waitress, before she quickly turns it into clearing her throat. You, on the other hand, donât hide your apathetic demeanor. With a quick hand of your credit card to the waitress, she hastily disappears while you and your now ex-boyfriend sit in silence as those around you continue with their pleasant conversations.Â
âAre youâŠokay?âÂ
Your ex partner struggles to meet your gaze, but when he does, he nearly shudders at the way youâre looking through him â like heâs nothing but a tiny spec of dust in the air. This quickly turns into a bitter and stark sound that resembles a laugh upon the realization that his words didnât quite affect you the way heâd hoped.
âPathetic.â He whispers under his breath. âThis is the exact thing I was talking about! No emotions. Itâs like speaking to a brick wall all because of your ego.âÂ
Your jaw slacks open and you run the tip of your tongue against the bottom row of your teeth. Rolling your eyes and crossing your arms over your chest, you tilt your head and a dry, unamused scoff leaves you.Â
âDid you expect me to be sobbing in the middle of this restaurant while begging you to take me back?âÂ
His jaw clenches and his brows furrow in dissatisfaction. You watch as his fingers tighten into a fist and feel the table begin to shake from his knee bouncing up and down from beneath the table. âIf thatâs the case, you donât know me at all.âÂ
With a long sip of the remaining wine left in your glass, your gaze doesnât falter while the man in front of you seethes in anger at the sight of your calmness. Before he can respond, the waitress returns with your card and the receipt to sign.
âI hope you take this opportunity to better yourself.â The man in front of you lets out as he slips his card into his wallet and then into the inner pocket of his suit jacket. Pushing his chair back, he quickly stands. âOtherwise youâll be alone for the rest of your life.âÂ
Your scoff turns into a dry laugh as your ex-boyfriend pushes past the waitress and out the restaurant doors â the scent of his expensive cologne, that you once loved, now makes your stomach churn. When you look at the waitress, her eyes soften at the sight of your tiny, closed lip smile.Â
âYou seem too good for him.â The waitress quietly comments as you stand and grab your belongings, sliding your card into your purse. âI wouldnât listen to a word he says.âÂ
âNever planned to.â You assure with a grin. âI apologize for his rudeness tonight. Heâs a condescending jerk.â Pulling out your wallet, you hand the waitress a crisp hundred dollar bill as a thank you for the professionalism she upheld throughout the night despite your exâs awful behavior.Â
With a swift head shake, she bashfully pushes your hand away before claiming it was too much.Â
Simply tucking the bill under the bread basket, you give her a final nod before heading towards the bar youâve been itching to get a drink from since the conversation turned sour very early into the night. Your heels click against the marble floors until you slide into the nearest barstool.Â
âWhat can I get you?â The handsome bartender smiles a charming little grin that makes your heart jump for a second, but when you see the silver wedding band on his ring finger, the bubble youâre in pops and you huff a small laugh to yourself.
Of course everyone else is in a loving and committed relationship, except for you.
âJust two shots of tequila, please.â You smile, hiding the disappointment of being single â once again.Â
Smoothly throwing his cleaning rag over his shoulder, the bartender grabs two shot glasses and fills them up with your alcohol of choice. When presented, you quickly take the shots with ease â letting the sting slide down your throat and warm up your entire body.
âIf you donât mind me asking, miss, but is everything okay?â
You sigh, then scrunch your nose when you look at him. âBartenders notice everything, huh?âÂ
âWell, either somethingâs wrong or you really enjoy tequila â and no one really likes tequila, do they?â He chuckles, crossing his arms over his chest, his broad shoulders shaking and bottom lip tucking between his teeth.
âI got broken up with tonight.â You dryly chuckle, already feeling pathetic hearing how you sound.Â
âOuch.â
âHe sucks. Iâm just upset I wasted a whole year with him.â
Your bartenderâs lips press into a thin line. Without another word, he refills a shot glass with your choice of alcohol. Then pulls out a fresh glass before filling it up again, but this time lifting it up and towards you. âHereâs to a new start, then.âÂ
Lifting your glass, you mirror his movements and you both throw your heads back to let the liquid slide down your throats. You sigh in relief, your body immediately relaxing when you feel the warmth course through you.Â
âAnything else I can get for you, miss?âÂ
Shaking your head, you give him a quick thanks before you occupy yourself by deleting and blocking your exâs number, checking your messages, and ensuring you pace yourself to make your afternoon flight tomorrow. After a few passing guests and text exchanges between you and friends, the bartender surprises you by sliding you a martini with a single olive inside.Â
âWhatâs this?â You ask with a small smile, stuffing your phone back into your hand bag propped on the barâs table top.
âCourtesy of that gentleman down the bar.â Your bartender grins, pointing at a young man who gives you a small head nod and a smile hidden behind his whiskey. âFull disclosure though, heâs a good friend of mine and thinks youâre pretty but he doesnât wanna come over unless youâre okay with it.â
âIf Iâm not?âÂ
âThen you can take the free drink and Iâll pass on a thank you. If you are, well, everything afterwards is up to you two, isnât it?â He smirks at you, tucking his hands under his biceps.
You look down the bar, eyeing the way the bartenderâs friend casually scrolls through his phone and taking reserved sips of his drink. âAnd whatâs your friendâs name?â You ask aloud, gaze still locked on the man interested in you.
âJohn.â The bartender nods, watching as you take a cautious sip of your martini. âIâm Jaehyun. I thought I might as well introduce myself if Iâm introducing you to a friend of mine.â
âItâs nice to meet you.â You chuckle, introducing yourself before taking another sip of your free drink. âNow be honest with me Jaehyun, does your friend have a girlfriend or wife waiting for him back home? Iâm not a fan of getting into drama because a man canât stay faithful.â
âHeâs painfully single.â Jaehyun admits as he quietly laughs under his breath. Looking over his shoulder at his friend, he leans forward onto the bar. âLoyal to a fault, sometimes. Heâs a good guy though. I promise youâll be safe with him. Hell, I trust him with my life.â
âYou sound like youâve known him for a while.â
âToo long.â Jaehyun laughs, his cute dimples making their appearance in front of you. âSo, what do you think? Wanna meet him or should I just send him your thanks?â
You pause, pondering the options. But with a sip of alcohol courage, you settle on your answer. âI donât mind meeting him.â
âYou wonât regret it.â Jaehyun playfully throws you a wink and turns to look at his friend. He tilts his head in your direction, a cheeky and knowing smile curling from his lips.
â A Very Charming Man.
The tall man at the end of the bar makes his way to you â dark gray slacks accentuating his long legs, black long sleeve button up shirt wrapped perfectly around his biceps, and a half full glass of whiskey in his hand.Â
âIâll leave you two to it.â Jaehyun playfully wiggles his eyebrows after introducing the two of you, then quickly turns his attention to tend to the arrival of new patrons.
With a firm handshake, Johnny locks his eyes with yours as a kind smile curls his lips. Pulling at the barstool next to you, you slightly lean forward and thank him for the free drink he sent your way.Â
âItâs my pleasure.â He replies, mirroring the way you leaned into him. With a hand respectfully pressed on the middle of your back, he rubs a quick circle before retracting his hand. âIf you donât mind me asking, what brings you here? Is it personal or business?â
âBoth, I guess.â A tiny smile dances on your lips before you take a sip of your drink. âI had dinner with my boyââ You pause and clear your throat, correcting yourself. âEx-boyfriend. And I leave for a work trip. This hotel is closer to the airport, hence my stay.âÂ
Johnny nods, then looks past the second part of your response, clearly not there to talk about work. âSo, that guy you were with is your ex?â He points behind him with his thumb, gesturing towards the dining area you were previously sitting.Â
âYou were watching me?â You tease, the tip of your tongue pressing on the inside of your cheek. Your head slightly tips to the side and you lightly swivel the stool youâre on, almost flattered by the information he let slip.
Johnny drops his head before rubbing his chin, a small chuckle leaving his lips. Pushing his styled hair back with his long fingers, his jaw slacks open just enough to see the tip of his tongue run across the back of his lower teeth.Â
âBelieve me, Iâm not one to look at women who are already taken.â The edge of his mouth lifts into an unapologetic smirk. âBut you? Youâre hard to ignore.â
Your eyebrows lift slightly and you smile against your martini glass, trying your best to keep your cool while you assume his words are used on every woman heâs interested in.Â
âNow Iâm very curious,â Johnny lets out, palm facing down and fingers sprawled open on the barâs counter top. âDid he break up with you or was it the other way around?â
âI wish I could tell you I did, but no,â you quietly huff, âhe broke up with me.â You bitterly admit, swallowing a big gulp of your alcoholic beverage.Â
Johnnyâs eyebrows furrow, clearly baffled at your words. He shakes his head and chuckles in disbelief. âThereâs no way. Did he give you a reason?â
âMany, actually.â You giggle, tucking your bottom lip between your teeth with a slight head tilt, thinking back on your ex-boyfriendâs reasons behind ending the relationship. âIâm too focused on my career and not enough on him. I have to be mentally fucked for not wanting to start my own family. And he chewed me out for not having sex with him for the last three months.â
Johnny sharply sucks in air through his clenched teeth. âYouâre clearly the problem. Those are huge red flags, didnât you know that?â Johnny sarcastically comments, earning a giggle from you as he grins from ear to ear.
âYeah, itâs totally me.â You press your palm to your chest, feigning a bit of pain as you sarcastically admit to your wrongdoings. âYouâre absolutely right. You should run before itâs too late.âÂ
You and Johnny quietly laugh to yourselves just as his hand slowly cups under yours; testing the waters to see if youâd pull away or not. When you donât, he leans in just enough for you to smell the fresh aquatic cologne he has on.
âIf you ask me, it sounds like you scared him.âÂ
âWhat?â You giggle, unknowingly squeezing his hand. âWhatâre you talking about?â
Johnny grins, enlighten at the fact you asked him to explain. âHot girls are always so oblivious.â He lets out, slightly shaking his head just before he shifts his feet onto the foot rail on the stool heâs sitting on. âYouâre so sure of yourself, it scares him. Some men canât handle that.â Johnny playfully shrugs before finally swallowing the last of his drink.
You catch the way his Adamâs apple bobs up and down when he swallows, the condensation of melted ice slowly rolling down his long fingers. You tighten your hold on his hand, moving it on the bar top before securing it on your lap. âAnd where do you fall? Does that scare you, too?â
Johnnyâs grin spreads, sharp enough to make your pulse skip. His large hand grabs the leg of your barstool and pulls you closer to him with ease, surprising you with his strength. With your knees fitting perfectly between his, his bold actions cause a flurry of butterflies in your torso and lustful thoughts rush straight to your brain.
âNot at all.â He confidently answers, carefully leaning into the backrest of his stool. âI find it very attractive, actually. Iâm even glad he fumbled the way he did.â
âWhyâs that?" You giggle as your palm gently rubs up and down the fabric over his thigh. His muscles tense up and you watch the way he casually drags his thumb against his bottom lip.Â
âWell, for starters, Iâm with you right now and heâs not. That itself is a win, donât you think?â He cockily grins, straightening his posture.
You canât help but giggle, amused and in awe by his naturally charming demeanor. âAre you always this smooth with your words?â You ask, leaning forward enough to invite yourself into his personal bubble.
You donât expect him to mirror your actions, but he does and your breath catches when his lips are inches away from yours.Â
âOnly with women Iâm interested in.â His gaze falls to your lips, then back to your eyes. âDo you always play hard to get?â
âOnly when I donât wanna seem too eager.â You reply, pulling yourself away. You watch the way Johnny hungrily locks onto your movements before he leans back, too.
âEager for what?â
You simply shrug and swallow the last bits of your martini.Â
âIt can be a lot of things. You could be eager to have a stimulating conversation or to have someone to help you forget about your ex.â He pauses, eyeing you up and down like heâs ready to devour you right then and there. âMaybe youâre eager to sleep with a handsome stranger you met at a hotel bar. Who knows? The possibilities are endless.â
You bite back a smile, looking away from the stranger in front of you â almost refusing to admit how easily he saw right through you.
âCan I ask you another personal question?âÂ
âSure. At this point, Iâm an open book for you.âÂ
Johnny chooses his words carefully before he speaks. âYou refused to sleep with him. I wanna believe itâs because he wasnât good in bed, but I have a feeling itâs more than that.â
âOh, itâs absolutely more than that.â You chuckle under your breath, sitting up and straightening your posture. You give Johnny a sigh, scoffing in disbelief as you recall your exâs words that cut a little deeper than you wanted to admit. âI assume you know what a breeding kink is, right?â
Johnnyâs cheeks flood with a pink hue and youâre unsure if itâs from the alcohol or the fact heâs surprised the words came out of your mouth. âI, uh, not from experience but Iâve heard of it, sure.â
âWell, Iâm not fond of the idea of having children of my own, but under the right circumstances the idea of breeding is kinda hot â the possessiveness, the dirty talk, the creampie. Anyway, the idea of stopping my birth control was brought up so he could start a family. I told him I like the act but donât actually want kids but he told me I was crazy to have the kink and not actually pull through with it.âÂ
Johnnyâs expression is unreadable when he looks at you. For a second, you think you've shared too much but he nods, intently listening to your words.Â
âHis pressure to let him come inside me without protection started to annoy me, so I just took sex off the table. I guess it took him 3 months of no sex to finally end it.â
âWait,â Johnny huffs in disbelief, âhe got to come inside of you and still had complaints?â Johnny runs his palm over his face in slight frustration, shaking his head. âThis guy is a fucking idiot. Listen, if that had been meââ A low whistle leaves his perfectly shaped lips while he hungrily eyes you up and down. âIâd shut up. Actually, Iâd let you do anything you want to me. Might even thank you if I did.â
You canât help but laugh at his ridiculous comment. Playfully pushing his shoulder, you earn a giggle and smirk from him.Â
Johnny is too charming for your own good â something you know you shouldnât fall for; something that has âplayerâ written all over it. But you ignore what you know youâre supposed to do because who says you canât hook up with a handsome stranger you met at a bar that you probably wonât ever see again?
âSo,â Johnny quietly interjects your thoughts, holding your hand in his. âLetâs say you did have me for a night, what would you want me to do?âÂ
You pause, tilting your head before your lips curved into a sly smile. âIâve been in a shitty relationship for a year with a shitty guy who didnât know how to fuck me properly.â You lean in and he meets you halfway. With your lips brushing against the shell of his ear, his skin begins to prickle with anticipation. âShow me what Iâve been missing.â
He hums a laugh thatâs filled with mischief and lust. âMy room or yours?â His lips part slightly, hand sliding up and down the side of your thigh.â
âYours.â
â Room 1409.
âAfter you.â Johnny smiles, holding his hotel room door open and gesturing to you to step in.
You sharply inhale, slightly nervous about hooking up with a stranger after so long. Your hold tightens around the straps of your handbag before you step into the air conditioned room. You catch your reflection at the full-length mirror near the closet and you take a quick look at yourself â thereâs a sheen in your eyes from the alcohol, but to your surprise your hair and makeup are still intact.
âBeautiful, arenât you?â Johnny whispers, palms sliding over the front of your dark green satin dress wrapped around your torso when his reflection appears behind you. With a swift movement, he twists your body to face him.
You let out a giggle when you nearly trip on your heels. âYouâre a real smooth talker, Johnny.â
âItâs easy when everything I say is true.âÂ
His warm palm slides against the side of your neck before his fingers cups your nape. As his thumb brushes your bottom lip, your heart stutters and slow, shallow breaths begin to slip from between your lips. His thumb slides down your chin before settling just under your jaw, hand loosely wrapped around your neck, but tight enough to make you melt under his touch. When your lower back meets the nearest console table, his hips press into yours and your fingers curl around his black button up, silently begging him to come closer.Â
The second his lips weave with yours, your knees begin to quiver. The tang of alcohol is prominent, but you donât mind. Not when his hand grips tighter around your throat making you whimper against his lips.Â
Itâs intoxicating and possessive, like you were always his.
His large hands slide down your waist and squeeze your hips just enough to smoothly lift you until youâre sitting on the wooden consoleâs table top. He kisses the corner of your mouth, then your jaw all while his hands roam under your dress, hooking his fingers on the waistband of your underwear and slides it down your thighs before slipping the thin fabric in back pockets of his dress pants.Â
Kissing down your throat, he begins sucking hard enough to leave proof of this night. His fingers dig into your hips as he pulls your skin taut to leave a deeper discolored bruise, then another, and another. Pushing your dress up and over your head, he trails down your chest to leave a badge of claim between your cleavage and when he drops to his knees, he kisses down your sternum and your hips.Â
The anticipation is agonizing, yet itâs the most intense and satisfying feeling youâve felt in a while. Itâs slow, deliberate, but purposeful like Johnny can hear the way your heart pounds against your chest; like he enjoys the way youâre trembling just by grazing his lips over your skin.Â
Johnny lifts your leg over his broad shoulder while his other hand pushes against your other thigh, spreading your legs wider for him. Tilting your hips, he buries himself between you â licking and sucking the sensitive skin of your inner thighs.Â
You donât realize the way youâre holding your breath, already feeling light headed as you watch him drag his lips closer and closer to your core. Your eyes flick to the mirror behind him and a spark in the pit of your stomach ignites all while excitement pools between your folds.
When Johnny flattens his tongue and glides it over your slit, your mouth slacks open from pleasure. Your fingers comb through his hair as you throw your head back, resting it on the wall behind you.Â
His name stutters from your mouth, fingers tugging on his now messy and disheveled hair. He swirls the tip of his tongue over your clit and his saliva slides down, mixing with your slick. The pads of his fingers dig into your inner thighs, burying his face deeper into you and wrapping his lips around your drenched pussy, gliding his tongue up and down all while his gaze never shifts from your reaction.Â
Itâs embarrassing, really, how close you are. Heat pools in your lower back and soon travels up your spine and neck before it floods your face entirely. Your chest heaves up and down, already feeling dizzy from the intensity thatâs building faster than you can keep up with.Â
But that certainly doesnât stop your hips from moving against Johnny when the tip of his tongue flicks against your swollen clit, selfishly chasing the high thatâs so close, you can barely hold on. Your hand flies to your mouth, muffling your sultry moans that made Johnny harden under his dress pants. Unsatisfied, Johnny tugs on your wrist and pins it to your abdomen while your free hand grips the edge of the table beneath you.Â
You donât give Johnny a warning except for a string of curses that youâve intertwined between whimpers. Your velvety walls clench tightly, and so do your thighs, as the coil in your lower abdomen snaps. Your body twitches when his tongue runs over your throbbing clit â sucking and gently rolling over it until youâre helplessly trembling from the stimulation.Â
Johnny smirks against you, then tenderly pecks kisses against your soaked core. When he rises he immediately cups your cheeks, but youâre the one who lunges towards him desperately. He lets out a low chuckle, allowing your fingers to hastily undo his leather belt before tucking your hand into his dress pants.
You grin against Johnnyâs lips when you feel his long, thick member hidden behind the fabric wrapped around his waist. Dragging your thumb over his leaking tip, Johnny quietly groans before his middle finger rolls over your clit with just enough pressure to make your hips twitch against him.Â
His middle finger slides into you with ease, your slick coating his entire finger. When he curls his fingertips, it brushes past your sweet spot and makes your walls involuntarily clench around his digit. Your fist tightens around his shaft, jerking it up and down to mirror the way his finger slides in and out of your soaked cunt.Â
âThis pretty cunt can take one more, right?â Johnny whispers against your lips as the tip of his ring finger probes your entrance, easing its way through your opening and filling your space to its brim.Â
You eagerly nod, colliding your lips with his. The sting of the stretch soon melts into pleasure, letting you focus on the feeling of pleasure you couldnât even fulfill on your own.Â
Your moans turn into shallow bursts of breathless air, chest rising up and down as his rough palm rubs slaps against your aroused clit. The rhythmic movement inches you closer to another burst of pleasure that makes you insatiable.Â
Your lips part in a silent cry. Your leg mindlessly wraps around Johnnyâs waist, hips grinding against his palm, and nails scratching the fabric over his deltoids. His head drops to your shoulder when he feels your gummy walls pulse around his fingers and his breath warms your bare shoulder with a cocky huff of laughter.
âF-fuck me,â you beg, hastily push down the waistband of his underwear and dress pants.Â
His cock springs up and blood rushes to his shaft, his veins protruding against his skin, and his darkened tip leaking with his thick and clear precum. His large hand guides his tip to your entrance and pushes into you. You already feel the way your body has to adjust to his size when he slowly pops his tip in and out over and over again until every inch is swallowed by your needy little cunt.
Your fingers frantically search for the buttons of his shirt, eagerly undoing the top two buttons before Johnny impatiently pulls the fabric apart â buttons becoming undone as it rips from the threading and falls onto the floor.
The way your palms slide up his chest and across his shoulders to push the fabric of his shirt off sends jolts down his spine and straight to his cock, twitching inside of you. When he allows his shirt to slide off his arms and fall to the floor, he hooks his arms behind your knees then presses his palms against the top of the table console before breaking you open ensuring heâs flesh to flesh with you with every hard thrust. Your breath hitches when he slowly but harshly rocks his hips back and forth until your moans are fucked right out of you. The edge of the table bangs against the wall behind you in a rhythmic pattern to match Johnnyâs deep and hungry jerk of his hips.
With every rut, he dives deeper into you â nothing but his tip sweetly kissing your cervix in the compromised angle he has you in. Slinging your arms around his shoulders, you pull him closer and catch a glimpse of the reflection of the mirror. The way his back muscles flex with every slam of his hips makes you pant into his ear, which does nothing but gives him permission to fuck you until your eyes roll to the back of your head and youâre barely forming coherent sentences.Â
Your fingers manage to tug his hair, tilting his head back before gripping his jaw and forcing his focus to shift from his hips to the way your tongue rolls over his.Â
With a shaky exhale through his nose, he quickly pulls out of you and your legs fall suddenly without his support. He tugs on your forearm and swiftly manages to have his bare chest pressed against your back as he guides you to the bed.Â
âBend over.â He commands through gritted teeth, already pushing down on your shoulders.Â
You donât object. With your knees firmly planted into the plush mattress, Johnnyâs thick tip pushes past your folds once more but this time your juices help glide inside of you as if he belongs there. A deep raspy groan leaves him when he bottoms out, your body jerking forward as he thrusts. His fingers tightly grip your ass for leverage just before he mercilessly ruts into you. His bare chest presses against your back, heat building between your bodies. His soft grunts fill your ears as his lips brush against the shell of your ear, causing your nails to dig into the sheets before burying your face in them.Â
Johnny chuckles devilishly, gripping your elbows with both hands and pulling you back until the top half of your body is suspended over the sheets. Snaking a hand down your torso and tucking itself between your thighs, he easily finds your sensitive nub between your folds, circling it delicately. âYouâre not hiding that pretty face from me.âÂ
Youâre not sure how many times youâve reached ecstasy with the way youâre being thrown in positions you thought you were too rigid to be in. Your body trembles, but you happily push past it with the way Johnny eagerly fulfills your request: to show you what youâve been missing out on.Â
Johnny knew when to slow it down, giving your body the most tender kisses and admiration it rightfully deserved. But he also knew when your body craved for more â and more, and more â until youâre tearing from the corner of your eyes from the overstimulation that blurred pain and pleasure seamlessly.Â
And you enjoy every second of it.Â
As you lay there, limp and exhausted, a satisfied grin is painted on your face as his seed leaks out of you. Johnnyâs plastered beside you, proud and confident as ever. You cuddle into him, feeling his chest rise and fall â clearly still reeling from the dopamine rush that came with spending the night with you.Â
âI havenât felt this amazing in years.â You sigh, fingertips gently running up and down the crevices of his abdomen.Â
âGlad to be of service tonight.â Johnny chuckles as his lips brush against your forehead. âGlad your ex fucked up the way he did.â
âLoser behavior, I guess.â You happily sigh. âThough, I do wish I could see the look on his face if he ever saw your cum dripping out of me. He hated the idea of my other exes doing it. Imagine how pissed heâd be that I let a stranger do it.â
âWhy donât we find out?â
Your head shoots up, looking at him in confusion. âWhat?â You awkwardly laugh. âWhat are we gonna do? Invite him here to see this?â
âNot quite.âÂ
Johnny swings his legs off the side of bed and fishes for his phone from the pocket of his pants. Taking a seat at the foot of the bed, he parts your thighs and itâs astonishing how quickly you comply. Lifting his phone in view, you quickly catch on to what he has planned. He presses the big red button to film between your thighs, fingers sliding his seed into you. When he lifts his coated middle finger to your lips, he ensures the camera only catches the lower half of your face, as you gladly suck on his digit until he ends the recording.Â
âWhatâs your exâs number?â Johnny questions as the pads of his fingers patiently wait for your reply.
You repeat the number that youâve unfortunately memorized by heart and watch him type it into his phone. âWonât he just have your number if you send him the video?â
âItâs a good thing Iâm changing it when I get back home.â Johnny smiles as he lays next to you. He hovers his phone, ensuring you can also see the screen and what heâs typing.Â
Thanks for leaving her, loser. Never wouldâve met her at the bar if it werenât for you. But donât worry, Iâll take care of her. Iâll just breed her until the only name she knows is mine.Â
The swoosh sound on iMessage is heard and the delivered notification pops up under Johnnyâs message. He silences his phone and tosses it to the side.Â
You giggle, swinging your leg over him before straddling his lower abdomen. With his palms sliding across the sides of your hips, he grabs a handful of your pillowy rear â your skin spilling between his fingers before his tip slides into you again, lifting his hips and sinking into you until youâre stuffed full. Pressing your lips to his jaw, you trail soft kisses until you reach just below his earlobe.Â
âYou should keep your promise. UnlessâŠâ you tease between kisses, âyouâre all bark and no bite?â
Both you and Johnny miss the flurry of angry texts flooding Johnnyâs phone, but neither of you care; not when youâre being shown pleasure in ways you could never imagine until the break of dawn.
âââââ
Who tf is this?
Fucking answer me you little shit!
[10 missed calls]
Youâre a little bitch. ANSWER YOUR FUCKING PHONE.
[6 missed calls]
When I find you I swear to god Iâll beat your ass
[4 missed calls]
I hope you get a fucking STD
âââââ
Your internal clock and the sun beaming into the room from the balcony wakes you from your sleep. Thereâs a delicious ache between your thighs and it takes you a second to process your surroundings, until youâre made aware of the arm that slides across your bare torso and effortlessly pulls you closer to his heated body.
âDonât tell me youâre thinking of sneaking away before saying goodbye.â Johnny chuckles â soft, tired, and raspy. Nuzzling the tip of his nose into your shoulder, a gentle kiss adorns your skin.Â
âI was gonna leave a note.â You playfully counter as your fingers mindlessly rake through his thick and messy hair. âBut now that youâre awake, guess I can tell you that I should probably head out to let you pack for your flight back home.âÂ
Johnny groans, lifting his head to see the pieces of clothing haphazardly thrown around the room along with his suitcase wide open with used clothes piled on each other.Â
âThank you for last night, John.â You quietly let out, hand gently pressed against his cheek to carefully guide his gaze back to you. âI really appreciate it.â
âIt was my pleasure.âÂ
Placing a quick kiss to your cheek, you take that as your cue to get ready to leave. His eyes watch your movements intently as you slip on your dress from last night and search for your underwear amongst the pile of clothes.Â
âWhereâd you put my underwear?â
A tiny snicker leaves his lips before a smug expression washes over him as he leans back into the headboard. When you look at him, he gives you a tiny and innocent shrug. âMaybe if you stay while I pack, itâll show up.â
You roll your eyes, jaw slacking open with a tiny grin. Your eyes flick to his white long sleeve shirt he wore last night and you swipe it into your hand before wrapping it up around your waist.Â
âYou can keep that and Iâll take this as a memento.â You giggle, making your way to his side of the bed. âRemember, itâs silk. Donât make the mistake of throwing it in the washer. Hand wash, only.âÂ
Cupping the sides of his face and tilting it in your direction, you place a kiss on his forehead â his eyes fluttering shut at the softness of your lips while his arm wraps around your waist.Â
âHave a safe flight home.âÂ
Johnny chuckles softly, his arm pulling you in effortlessly and your knees press into the side of the mattress. âYou knowâŠIâm a fast packer.â
âYeah?â You giggle. âAnd youâre telling me this becauseâŠ?â
âOne more time for old timesâ sake? Iâll let you be on top this time.âÂ
Letting out a hum and pretending to contemplate the tempting idea, you gently brush your thumbs over the space just below his eyes before a kiss presses onto his lips.Â
âLetâs have fate decide when we do this again.â You whisper in the space between your lips. âIn the meantime, I have a meeting to prep for and you have luggage that needs to be packed. Not to mention, a flight you need to catch.âÂ
Johnny sighs in defeat, then a beat of silence follows before speaking again. âThatâs fair.âÂ
Bringing the back of your hand to his lips, Johnny gives your skin a quick peck then brushes his thumb over your cheekbone. Cupping your face with a gentle touch, he pulls you in for a kiss â one of gratitude and farewell all wrapped in the slow movements of his lips.
When you pull away, your forehead presses against his while you catch your breath. Â
âTake care, Johnny.â You finally let out, pulling away as he playfully tugs on your fingers.Â
When you finally get enough distance, your hand drops to your side and Johnnyâs arm drops onto the sheets covering his bare lower half. Giving him a final wave goodbye, you grab your belongings and head out into the hallway, feeling renewed. Like a night away from your usual strict routine made you genuinely happy â something you havenât felt in a very long time.Â
âââââ
Sorry, too busy fucking her dumb to get back to you.Â
She feels waaay too good to only go one roundâŠor twoâŠor threeâŠ
Also thought you should know Y/N says thanks, you helped her realize how bad you are at sex.Â
And the nameâs Johnny, bitch.

â A New Place & A Reintroduction.
âSoâŠâ Mina sheepishly rocks back and forth on her heel, the wind whipping through her thick dark hair. Her fingers grip the handles of her handbag, the leather fabric tapping against her knees as you two wait near the front entrance of the high rise building youâll be working in for the next year.Â
âSoâŠâ you repeat suspiciously, waiting for Mina to stop beating around the bush and ask you whatâs on her mind.Â
âThat hook upâŠâ she finally lets out, quickly scanning your features for any reaction that would somehow tell her who it was with.
âMina.â You sternly reply, giving her a look as if to tell her to keep your personal business far from your professional life. âNot now.â
âIâm sorry,â she whines, childishly stopping her feet. âOne minute Iâm thinking youâre getting proposed to at dinner and the next you tell me youâre single and hooked up with a stranger.â
You sigh, already regretting telling her about your night of fun while waiting at the gate for your flight a week ago. Itâs clear to you that this has been stewing in the crevices of Minaâs brain, too scared to ask more details knowing how privileged she is to even hear that you hooked up with someone.Â
âItâs like something possessed you. It doesnât sound like you at all:â She quietly comments, tucking her hair behind her ear. âI love it, Iâm just surprised. Do you know his name at least?â
Before you could reply, an older man waves and catches your attention. It takes you a second to realize itâs the manager youâve been in contact with for the past few months â Mr. Choi. He appears with an all too excited grin on his face, already telling you heâs more than excited for this partnership between your home company and the one youâre temporarily transferred to.
âItâs nice to see the both of you again! Come on in, Iâll show you around.â He smiles, leading you towards the bright lobby of elevators. âIâm sorry to hear about the delay in furniture deliveries for the two of you. Iâm hoping the hotel suffices until then.âÂ
âOh it does!â Mina interjects happily, enjoying the room service at the expense of the company account. âThis is by far the best hotel weâve been in and, trust me, weâve been in a lot.âÂ
A deep chuckle rumbles in Mr. Choiâs chest, arm extending out between the elevator doors as it opens then gesturing for the two of you to step into the cramped metal box.Â
âWe take up the top two floors. Beautiful view over the city, I should add.â Mr. Choi says, sounding a lot like a real estate agent than anything else at the moment. âOur floor is split in two, the east wingââ Mr. Choi looks at you. âIs where youâll be. The west wingââ Mr. Choi looks at Mina. âThatâs where youâll be.âÂ
When the elevator doors open, youâre greeted by the floor to ceiling windows providing natural lighting that spills through the central lobby. To the right of you, youâre met with the two receptions who stand upon seeing their manager.
âGood morning, Mr. Choi.â They greet in unison before their eyes flick towards you and Mina.Â
Your sights fall towards their lanyard and the identification card that is used to enter the many doors of the building.Â
âChenle, Jisung,â Mr. Choi greets, straightening his posture. âIâd like you to meet the newest members of our team â Miss Y/N and Miss Mina.âÂ
âItâs nice to meet you, welcome to the team!â Chenle says, clasping his hands together. âLet us know if we can do anything to make the transition smoother.â The younger man next to him simply smiles and nods before excusing himself when the phone rings, pulling his attention there instead.
You and Mina give the two younger men a warm smile and a nod, but your verbal appreciation is cut short when youâre gestured towards the west wing by Mr. Choi, who immediately begins spewing out the renovation plan to improve the floor even more.Â
As youâre swept away, you quickly turn your head to let out a quick thank you to the two men you just met. As you do, you catch a glimpse of disdain on Chenleâs face who seems to be burning a hole in the back of Mr. Choi before Jisung playfully punches his bicep to get him back into work.Â
Just past the restrooms, you see the heavy glass doors at the end of the hallway open up. A man with dark rimmed glasses, a white button up shirt, and dark slacks with his hair perfectly parted into a three-fourths part walks out, his gaze focused on the iPad heâs holding.Â
âAh, Doyoung!â Mr. Choi loudly greets, starling the man who stops in his tracks.Â
The man, you now know as Doyoung, mutters something under his breath before gripping the tablet in his hand and pushing the frame of his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Meeting him halfway down the hall, Mr. Choi introduces you and Mina.Â
âMiss Mina, Doyoung is the person who is going to show you the ins and outs of the west wing.â Mr. Choi informs, watching Mina firmly shake the hand Doyoung extended.Â
âCanât wait!â Mina says enthusiastically.
âCâmon,â Doyoung quietly says, tilting his head towards the glass doors. âIâll show you to your office. Itâs right next to mine.âÂ
âAnd Doyoung,â Mr. Choi interjects. âIntroduce her to the rest of the team and catch her up, will you?âÂ
You watch Doyoung sharply inhale. His posture fully straightens before a tight lipped smile forms on his lips.Â
âI will.â
You watch as your friend disappears behind the foggy glass doors and youâre now left alone with Mr. Choi, analyzing the way his eyes burn intimidatingly while he watches the glass door come to a full close. When he looks at you, they drastically soften and the playful demeanor heâs always presented to you reappears.Â
âLet me show you to your office.â He nods and the two of you backtrack, passing the central lobby and towards the east wing. Walking past conference room one and two, thatâs directly across from each other, youâre guided to a vacant office room thatâs filled with sleek, minimal furniture and painted with boring white walls that youâre able to see thatâs not covered windows.Â
âYouâre right, the view is great.â You let out, making your way towards the floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the city below you.Â
âItâs the best!â Mr. Choi says proudly, as if heâs the one who made it that way. âAcross the hall is one of our best employees, but donât tell him that. He can get a little cocky. Heâll be your point of contact to help you adjust, though heâll be reporting to you.âÂ
You look out the wide picture window that gives you the perfect view inside the unoccupied office across from yours. The same furniture you have is rearranged into a logical design you learned would be efficient for productivity. On the desk, a stack of Manila folders balanced next to his office phone and a notepad with a few bullet points scribbled on the top of the white lined sheet.
âIf heâs the best like you say he is, Iâd say the confidence is well deserved, no?âÂ
Mr. Choi chuckles, watching as a disarming smile stretches across your face. âA little humbling would do him good, but I suppose youâre right.â An awkward beat of silence follows before he speaks. âLet me show you the break room.â
You follow Mr. Choi down the hall and enter the large break room with a few lounge chairs and counters filled with a variety of drinks and snacks for anyoneâs enjoyment.Â
âDidnât expect everyone to be in here.â Mr. Choi said sternly, scanning the room filled with employees who shamefully looked down at the floor beneath them.Â
The contrast of the chattering then and the dead silence now is stark. You watch as some employees uncomfortably shift from one foot to another while others finish up making their morning coffee. Then Mr. Choi clears his throat, adjusts his posture to his full height and crosses his hands against the small of his back.Â
âIâd like you all to meet the newest member of our team, Miss Y/N.â
Their sights land on you all at once making you feel uncomfortable beyond comparison. You manage to give them a small wave and they mirror your movements, a quiet wave of âhiâ and âhellosâ filling the space. The tension is so thick you could slice it with a knife.Â
âLooking forward to working with you all,â you smile, quickly pulling yourself together â straightening your posture, lowering your hands to your sides, and taking a half step forward.Â
Mr. Choi takes a full step forward, now placing you slightly behind him. âIâm sure you all have work to start on, right?â He says, an edge to his voice to grab any semblance of power in front of you.Â
With another step forward, youâre now next to Mr. Choi. The uncomfortable look on the employees face is prominent, making you realize Mr. Choi is purposefully ignoring it.Â
âIâm sure theyâre fueling for the day ahead.â You interject, looking at Mr. Choi dead in the eyes, something youâve learned from your years in this career. âDonât we all need a little moment to ourselves and a nice cup of coffee before diving into piles of work?â
You flash Mr. Choi another placating smile with your hand gently placing itself on his shoulder for a second before retracting it next to your side.
âI mean, I know I do.â You chuckle, looking at the rest of the employees. They quickly catch on to your point and each one of them gives an agreeable head nod.Â
âI suppose youâre right.â Mr. Choi quickly agrees, palm of his hand rubbing the back of his flushed neck. âAgain.â He quietly chuckles, sliding his hands in the pockets of his dress pants.
Mina appears beside you and so does Doyoung, hand still holding the iPad but this time, glasses tucked into the breast pocket of his collared shirt. Doyoung does his part in introducing Mina who, like always, greets with the utmost enthusiasm.Â
Mr. Choiâs phone rings, excusing himself to the corner of the room as he takes the call. You take this opportunity to get the names of some of the employees to begin building rapport with them after the awkward initial meeting.Â
From the corner of your eye, you watch the way Mr. Choi snaps his fingers to catch Doyoungâs attention, his phone still pressed to his ear. He whispers something into the young employee's ear and you know itâs about you when Doyoungâs eyes lock onto yours. Then just like that, the older manager disappears out of the break room and into a conference room for more privacy to pace back and forth.
With a small wave goodbye, the employees disappear into a bigger room filled with cubicles separating them into smaller spaces. Doyoung follows suit, making his way out the door before you stop him.
âUh, Doyoungââ you call out, stepping towards him. âCan I speak with youâŠin my office?âÂ
Surprised with your request, he nods hesitantly before both him and Mina follow you. Closing the door, Mina leans against your desk while cranning her neck to take in the boring look of your new space. Doyoung stands in the middle of the room, patiently waiting.
âWhatâs the deal with the tension between everyone and Mr. Choi?â You blatantly ask, catching the employee in front of you by surprise.Â
Lifting his hand to the back of his neck, he gently scratches his prickling scalp. His mouth falls open, only to close again.Â
âTension?â Mina squeaks, catching everyoneâs attention. âThereâs tension?âÂ
Doyoung sighs, balancing his iPad on the arm rest of a nearby sofa. âHeâs fairly new.â Doyoung begins to explain. âAnd utterly incompetent at doing his job. A lot of us feel that heâs on a constant power trip and it doesnât help when he belittles anyone that isnât a specialist, analyst, or consultant.âÂ
âHowâd he get the job?â Mina questions, reading your mind and saving you from asking the question yourself.Â
âConnections.â Thereâs an edge of annoyance in his tone. âApparently, heâs friends with the founder. Though, I highly doubt the founder knows how shitty Mr. Choiââ
The two loud knocks on your office door startle the three of you before the door swings open and you see the subject of your conversation step through the door frame. Behind him stood a 6 foot 3 man with his dark locks slicked back and a killer smirk lifted from the corner of his mouth, lowering his disposable coffee cup from his lips when he locked with your gaze.Â
âJohn, this is Miss Y/N.â Mr. Choi introduces, stepping forward and causing Doyoung to step back, settling himself next to his point of contact thatâs now lingering by the window and snapping photos of the view. âMiss Y/N, this is John Suh. Heâll be working with you to ensure youâre acclimated to the new environment. Heâll assist you in whatever you need and will be reporting to you as well.âÂ
Your heart pounds against your ribs so hard youâre certain itâll leave bruises. A knot tightens in the pit of your stomach, anxiety rising when you remember the night you shared â expect now heâs not just a handsome stranger you met at a bar, heâs your co-worker; one youâll be working closely with for the next year.Â
âItâs nice to meet you,â Johnny interjects with a smile, feigning obliviousness and giving you a firm handshake like the one he gave the night you met.Â
âYeah, itâs nice to meet you too.â You nod. âI heard youâre the best guy here. I have nothing but high expectations.â
Johnny huffs out a quiet laugh, fingers holding his coffee cup by its rim. âI wonât disappoint you.â
âGood.â You clear your throat, your hands clasping together just below your belly button. âWe should probably catch up on the recent projects coming up.âÂ
âWe should do the same,â Mina says as she points her finger between the space separating herself and Doyoung. âWalk me through the campaigns and Iâd like to see dataââ
Mr. Choi chuckles â an unamused laugh that makes a knot twist in your stomach. You didnât like the way his hand wiped over his mouth or the way he shook his head slightly as he scratched over the stubble he didnât shave before coming to work.Â
âWhatâs funny?â You question, cocking your head to the side in confusion. You look over at Doyoung and take a sharp inhale, bracing himself for the comment the manager is about to make.Â
âI canât help but think weâre overestimating the value of our creative department.â Mr. Choi says ignorantly with a dismissive shrug to his shoulders. âI mean, anyone with a smartphone can upload a post to social media.âÂ
Your blood boils, heat rushing to your cheeks and a slight ringing in your ear. Between the surprised look on Minaâs face, the second hand embarrassment in Doyoungâs, and Johnny's tense expression written all over his face, you canât not say something.Â
âBut what do I know right?â Mr. Choi laughs, crossing his arms over his chest and an oblivious laugh leaving his lips.Â
Johnny steps forward to defend Doyoungâs team, something heâs done countless times before, knowing Doyoung wonât ruffle feathers with a man as ignorant as Mr. Choi.Â
But you speak before he can.
âSir, I hope youâre not insinuating our creative team doesnât provide an essential role to this company?â You let out, voice calm and steady. âIâd hate to see when a poorly thought out campaign or a post highlighting a failed strategy goes viral. It wouldnât reflect well on the company or the founder, would it?âÂ
The mere mention of the founder turns Mr. Choiâs face pale, letting your words sink in before uncomfortably clearing his throat. Your eyes lock with his, refusing to be the first person to look away. Mr. Choi feels the tension, beads of sweat forming on the nape of his neck before looking down; your comment about the founder rattling him more than anything.Â
âYouâre right.â He manages to let out, rolling his shoulders back in a lame attempt to recoup. âI will let the four of you get back to work. Please let me know if you need anything.â
And just like that, with no apology, Mr. Choi turns on his heels and walks out of your office and straight to the elevators.
âWell that was fucking rude,â Mina huffs. âWhat kind of manager says that about any department?â
âAn incompetent one.â Johnny scoffs, then quickly apologizing on Mr. Choiâs behalf. âWe learned to ignore a lot of his comments. Iâm sorry you had to see that first hand.â
âAnd so soon.â Doyoung adds, his eyes still glued in the direction of your office door.Â
âJust ignore him,â Johnny breathes, shoulders finally relaxing as he turns to you, then to Mina. âWe have a solid team and despite us not listening to him or anything he says, we donât get reprimanded harshly when we actually do our job well and the higher ups are happy with the results.â
âThis is gonna be a shitshow.â Mina exhales, then turns to you with her hand on your shoulder and a playful grin stretched across her face. âGood luck, youâre gonna need it more than me.â When she turns to her point of contact, she pulls him towards the door by his bicep. âCâmon Doyoung! We have a lot to go over.â
And just like that, youâre alone with Johnny. Thick silence fills the room and a prickling under your skin makes you shift on your feet.Â
âI didnât expect to see you here.â Johnny arches a brow, the corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk as he lifts his disposable cup to his lips. âHowâve you been?â
âGreat.â You nod, quickly clearing your throat. âSo about those upcoming projectsââ
âYou go straight to business, donât you?â Johnny chuckles, dropping a seat on the arm rest of a nearby couch. âI remember you being⊠less serious than this.â He pauses, crossing his wrists over each other as it languidly rests against his thigh. âIn fact, I remember you being more relaxed than anything else. So relaxed, you could barely open your eyes when my tongueââ
The palm of your hand flies over his mouth, pressing your skin against his soft and plump lips and nearly knocking the coffee cup from his hand. With a quiet shush, you slowly retract your hand and shut your office door before closing the blinds that look into the hallway.
âListen, John.â You sigh, forehead pressed against the frame of your door before you turn to look at him. âWhatever happened between us stays between us and in the past.âÂ
Johnny cocks his head, listening intently to your words.Â
âFrom this point, everything is strictly professional. No more flirtatious looks or those little smirks. None of that.âÂ
Johnny can only chuckle. Not dismissively, but amused. The tip of his tongue runs across his bottom lip before tucking it between his teeth. Setting his nearly empty cup on the coffee table, he stands to his full height, towering over you.Â
Your breath catches in your throat, swallowing the words you meant to say.Â
âYouâre sure?â Slipping his hands into the pockets of his slacks, he takes a few steps toward you and traps you between his frame and the door you just backed into.
You simply nod, slow and unsure, but you hoped Johnny didnât notice the presence of hesitation. His gaze swipes over your blown out pupils staring back at him before dropping to the untucked collar of your dress shirt. His long fingers gently adjust the fabric and your breathing halts, almost afraid any type of movement would silently tell him about the fire ignited in the pit of your stomach and the tingle between your thighs.Â
When he pulls away, he grabs his coffee cup by its rim and simply flashes you a charming, easy going grin.Â
âIâll follow your lead, boss.â He nods once, then goes quiet for a beat too long before clearing his throat. âDo you, maybe, wanna get out of the way so I can show you those reports?â
Heat from embarrassment prickles your underarms, your senses suddenly feeling heightened as you pathetically regain the confidence to finally move out of the way and open the door behind you. The whiff of newly brewed coffee whips through you, the smell going unnoticed until now. The typing of keyboard keys and the playful banter between the two receptionists suddenly feel louder, but don't drown out the heartbeat you hear pounding against your chest.Â
Johnny snakes from behind you, unlocking his own door. Lavender scent hits you by surprise as you step in; the mist from a nearby diffuser spritzing in a calculated pattern. You watch as Johnny moves behind his desk, fingers working fast to bring up the most recent reports. He glances at you, then pauses his movements.Â
âYou know youâre really awkward for someone who wants to move past our night of fun.â Johnny chuckles. âIf you donât want anyone to suspect anything, donât be suspicious.â
âThis is new to me.â You admit, dropping your arms to your side.Â
âThis position or what happened between us?âÂ
You roll your eyes and a tiny smirk threatening to make its way onto your face. âWorking with someone I previously hooked up with.â You quietly say, moving behind his desk to see his computer screen.
He nods, eyes falling back onto the electronic files. âI was worried for a second that you didnât know how to do your job.â
âI do it very well, thank you very much.â
âSo Iâve heard.â Johnny remarks, opening up the files most relevant to this quarter. He looks up at you and you catch a glint in his eyes as a strand of your hair falls before you quickly swipe it away â Johnny being completely enamored by your presence before he could stop himself.
âJohn.â You softly call out. âThe reports, please.âÂ
âHuh?âÂ
You shyly smile, your thumb and fingers pressing into his cheeks before gently turning his attention back to his computer screen. âThe reports, Johnny. Walk me through them, please.â Slowly retracting your hand away from his cheeks, you watch a wide grin spread across his face.
âYou got it, boss.â
â A Note & A Future Lunch Date.
Two months into acclimating to the new company and your new partner, you realize a few things: Mr. Choi is absolutely not fit for his managerial position, Mina has been on a personal mission to get Doyoung out of his introverted shell and stand up to anyone who downplays his intelligence, and Johnny is incredible at his job â so incredible, youâre wondering why he isnât in the managerâs position himself.
In fact, you find yourself thinking about Johnny a lot â a lot for someone who wants to leave the hook up in the past. The way he tilts his head and holds eye contact when heâs listening to someone speak, how his tongue pokes the inside of his cheek right before his thumb brushes his bottom lip when heâs focused on the task at hand. And the way his fingers curl aroundâ
âAny questions for us?â Johnnyâs voice sears right through your thoughts and pulls you right back next to him in the boardroom with pairs of wide eyes staring at the two of you.Â
âYes.â The lanky old man that Johnny nicknamed Mr. Cautious speaks up, shifting in his seat as he stares at the color-coded line graph behind you. Using his pen to point behind you, you and Johnny slightly turn in the direction heâs pointing in. âHow are you two confident your sales are projected to increase? I mean, not too long ago, this company barely had revenue coming in a few months ago.â
âRest assured that our predictions are based on the upward trend weâve been seeing in the most recent weeks. New strategies, more effective and efficient I may add, have increased our numbers drastically and immediately.â You share, taking pride in the strategic plan you and Mina helped implement since arriving â no thanks to Mr. Choi who insisted on keeping the mess of a strategy already set in place until you kindly reminded him the reason behind your transfer.
âI get that, butââ Mr. Cautious interjects, hesitation written all over his face.Â
âI understand the risk youâre taking.â You reassure, now understanding the reason behind Johnnyâs nickname for the man in front of you.
âIf I may add,â Johnny interjects, sliding his hands into the pockets of his slacks and straightening to his full height. He glances over your way before looking straight at Mr. Cautious. âThe company Y/N is transferring from has one of, if not the best, business strategies that we've seen in years â the same strategy weâve adopted just recently and the numbers donât lie. You can choose now or you can choose to wait, but I fear waiting wonât have much benefit to it.â
âThough Iâm sure you already know that, sir.â You flash a charming smile, before glancing over at Johnny who follows your lead and plasters a grin on his face. âYouâll find standard contracts in the folders as well.âÂ
In unison, those in front of you pull out the contract and look it over before signing away. A knock on the conference room door pulls your attention before Minaâs head pops in just in time for her and Doyoungâs time slot with the group. Johnny quickly collects the contracts before you both quickly grab your belongings, say your goodbyes with the crowd in front of you, and head out into the hallway.
âAll contracts accounted for.â Johnny smiles proudly. âEven from Mr. Cautious himself.â He lifts his fist to give you a fist bump and you reciprocate, a little ritual you two have when you both have a successful day. âIâm going out for lunch, do you wanna join me?â
âIâm okay. I was planning to use my lunch break to catch up on my sleep.â Cupping your cheeks with the palms to warm your cold hands, you turn to glance at the surprisingly comfortable couch in your office.Â
âIâm gonna guess you spent the night working.â Johnny crosses his arms over his chest and shakes his head like a disappointed father.Â
âYou guessed right.â You giggle. âBut before you go, I wanna thank you for having my back in there. Itâs nice to know I have someone I can rely on.â
Johnny smiles, endearingly stroking the back of your head. âWeâre a team, you donât have to thank me.â
âSure, but I think itâs still worth noting.â You gently squeeze his arm. âEven if Mr. Choi refuses to admit it to your face, youâre amazing.â
âWell, since weâre dishing out compliments,â Johnny steps forward and leans towards your ear. âIâm glad you're here. You make coming to work worth it.â
You bite your bottom lip to stop yourself from smiling too wide at Johnnyâs words. âEnjoy your lunch John. Iâll see you in a little bit.âÂ
Johnny nods, watching you disappear into your office. You catch his eyes from your window and you give him a small wave before shutting the newly replaced blinds that blocked out the hallway lights. Situating yourself on your sofa, you canât help but replay Johnnyâs words in your head until you drift off to sleep.  Â
âââââ
The alarm on your phone interrupts your sleep to let you know that you have 15 minutes left of your lunch break. Stretching your arms over your head, you stare at the blank ceiling to help yourself actively wake up before sitting up on your sofa.
To your surprise, you find a wrapped sandwich, an unopened bag of your favorite chips, a bottle of water, and a handwritten note from a memo pad you have on your desk is sitting undisturbed on the coffee table in front of you.
Itâs your usual order. You need the energy :)Â - Johnny
You make your way over to your blinds, opening it up and seeing Johnny sitting at his desk chewing on the end of his covered pen before his eyes meets yours. He gives you a small wave before grabbing his notepad and jotting something down then lifting it up for you to read.
Did you sleep well?
You quickly look behind you for the identical notepad and pen to write your response.
Yes, I did :) Thanks for the food, too. I owe you a lunch date this week.   Â
Holding up the notepad to the window, you watch the way Johnnyâs eyes scan your writing and a genuine smile stretches across his face. Pressing his pen to the paper, he writes a quick response and lifts the notepad to his chest.
Iâll hold you to that :)
You quietly laugh to yourself, then nod at Johnny, silently agreeing to his words. Johnny gives you a wicked smirk accompanied by a wink before his attention turns to his ringing phone. You take that as your cue to quickly scarf down your lunch as you clear out your emailâs inbox, ensuring to tuck Johnnyâs note into your wallet for safe keeping.
â A Rainy Day.
Four months into transferring and the routine of your position is deeply rooted into your daily life. Rolling your neck, you briefly shut your eyes in an attempt to relieve the strain on your eyes from staring at your computer screen all day.Â
Itâs one of those days you havenât left your office â meeting with people virtually, ordering lunch through an app and one of the two receptions delivering it to you to get a second away from the ringing of their phones, staring out your window at at the pouring rain, and above all being isolated from the one person that effortlessly eased your work stress.Â
Johnnyâs been cooped up in his office for the same reason you are â meeting with overseas partners and clients virtually. Youâve caught him a few times, pacing back and forth in his attempt to stimulate his brain to prevent him from falling asleep during boring small talk he doesnât care about.Â
You try your best to refocus on the reports you have left to do before your work day ends. Your eyes gloss over yet another detailed and excruciating report, scanning for information that would be remotely beneficial to you at the moment.Â
When you finally come across a discrepancy, your body jolts to attention and you use this as an excuse to save both you and Johnny from another minute of boredom.Â
Your hand flies to your office phoneâs receiver to call your partner in the room across from you. Two rings pass until Johnnyâs voice is heard on the other line.
âHey boss, finally caved in to admit you missed me today?â He jokingly says, leaning into the backrest of his chair and tucking an arm under the other.Â
âNo, Iââ
âToo lazy to walk in here yourself?â He quickly interjects, head flying up when he sees you through the hallway windows when you stand from your seat, giving him a look that feigns annoyance. In return, Johnny gives you a quick, playful wink as he holds the phoneâs receiver to his ear.Â
âOr did you call to see if I missed you since Iâve been cooped up in this stupid office all day without my favorite person to keep me company. The answer is yes by the way, if you care.âÂ
His words, admittedly, make your heart soar. Your lips break into a smile before you could stop it. âThen stretch those long legs of yours and make your way over here. I need to talk to you about something.â
âSomething?â His brow quirks up and a little smirk lifts from the corner of his mouth. âSomething delightful, I hope.â
âNot quite.â You hum and scrunch your nose, watching his lips fall into a frown as he hears your words. âItâs about the reports you sent me.â
âUh oh, Iâm not in trouble, am I?â His bottom lip juts into an exaggerated pout, swiveling his chair side to side as he holds your gaze through the glass.Â
âYou will be if you donât make yourself useful and get over here.â You lift a finger and curl it, motioning him to âcome hereâ before ending the call.Â
Sauntering over, Johnny appears in your doorway within seconds. âYour insane attention to detail will be the death of me.â Johnny complains, making his way over to you. âWhat did I do wrong boss? And go easy on me, my ego is still recovering from the last time.â
âOh please, last time only I pointed out your typos before sending it off to the execs and you acted as if I cursed your entire family.â You roll your eyes. âYouâre being so dramatic. Anyway, lucky for you, you didnât do anything wrong. I just have a question about the drop in sales from hereââ You point at your computer screen, your manicured nail pointing to the drop in numbers on the table in the report. ââto here and it keeps repeating every year. Iâm not planning on having it repeat again, so do you have any idea what happened?â
Johnny makes his way behind you to get a better look at the screen. Bending forward, one hand presses on top of the wooden table top of your desk while the other rests on the top of your backrest. With his cheek so close it could brush yours, you could smell a whiff of his cologne â the same one from the night you first met him.Â
He hums and mumbles something quietly under his breath before the hand behind you goes over your shoulder and traps you between his body while he uses your mouse and keyboard to search through your inbox for reports Doyoung has sent the two of you.
You canât help but watch his long fingers move as youâve taken a liking to them after your rendezvous with him. Your gaze wanders up his arm, admiring the veins protruding against his skin until you glance up at his features â first his angled jaw, then his soft lips.Â
 âWhatâre you looking at, boss?â Johnny grins, eyes still locked onto your screen. âYour wandering eyes are gonna get us both in trouble.â But from the way heâs blushing, itâs clear heâs enjoying your attention.Â
Biting the corner of your bottom lip, you refocus on the screen. âJust wondering why youâre so close to me.âÂ
âItâs because youâre my favorite person,â Johnny smiles. âAs for the reports, Iâll set up a meeting with Doyoung and Mina for tomorrow to see if we can remedy this dip in sales.âÂ
âThank you.â You whisper as you turn to him, his lips now inches away from yours.Â
Youâre tempted to kiss him, feeling first hand depravity from not touching him for so long especially when thatâs all you did that night. Youâve tried to deny the tension between you two; tried to ignore the flirtatious comments he made that youâve engraved into your memory; tried to talk yourself out of using that nightâs experience to help you pleasure yourself.Â
But you hold yourself back, again.Â
After all, heâs your co-worker and you know better than to mix business with pleasure.
âFrom what I remember, you have another meeting in ten minutes.â You softly let out, ultimately being the first one to pull away.Â
Johnny looks at the time on the top right of your computer screen and drops his head in disappointment. Pulling back, he straightens his posture and rubs his hands over his face.
âCan I stay here?â He pouts, the inner part of his brows curving upward and his eyes softening. âI canât stand being in my office alone. Itâs depressing.â
âIsnât that inappropriate?â You tease, swiveling your chair side to side as you look up at Johnny. âI am your senior after all.âÂ
Johnny huffs a chuckle, rolls his eyes, and pokes his tongue against his cheek. âGod forbid I took a gap year after graduation to broaden my horizons.â He sarcastically retorts. âYou only have seniority over me by one year. You have to feel bad â Iâm going insane in my office. I need social interaction that isnât online.âÂ
âFine!â You dramatically huff, waving your hand in the air. âYou can sit at my desk while you have your meeting. Iâll make myself comfortable on the couch and read overââ
âThank you!â He happily interjects, grabbing your hand and placing a dramatic kiss on the back of your hand. âYouâre amazing.â
You canât help but giggle, watching as he proudly makes his way out of your office to grab his laptop and other necessities for his meeting, though he ends up choosing to stay with you until the end of the work day.Â
Four months into transferring and youâve gotten to see many sides of Johnny â all sides you find utterly charming and endearing; all sides that make your heart race and your mind rattle.
â Out of Town Bar & A Tucked Away Office.
You donât notice when Johnny walks in.Â
His suit jacket slung over his arm and long sleeves of his white collared shirt pushed up to his elbows. He runs his fingers through his loosely styled hair that loosened through the day while a sealed pack of cookies are presented in front of you. You look up at the man thatâs been on your mind more often than youâd ever admit â and, god, does he look ethereal when he gives you a tired lopsided grin.Â
âWhatâs this for?â You ask, picking up the sealed bag of cookies and examining it. âYou know that sucking up to me isnât gonna make me like you more.â
âYou know you love me. Iâm your life line here.â Johnny grins, taking a seat on one of the chairs placed in front of your desk. âA client gave it to me and I thought youâd like it when your sweet tooth kicks in during the day.â
âWhatâre you talking about? I donât have a sweet tooth.â
âI catch you stealing sweets from the break room all the time.â Johnny giggles, resting his ankle just above his knee. âDid you know you walked into the break room five times in a span of seven minutes yesterday?â
âNoâŠI did not.â You embarrassingly admit, biting your bottom lip before taking the cookies and rolling your office chair over to your mini fridge nearby to secure them for future use. âThank you for the treat.âÂ
âYouâre welcome.â Johnny adjusts himself in his seat, lifting his hips slightly to lower himself just a bit.
âYou donât normally stay this late.â You ask, palm resting under your chin.Â
âBeen keeping an eye on me?â Johnny smirks, fist gently pressing into his temple as his elbow is propped onto the chairâs arm rest. âDidnât know you cared that much.â
âI care.â You quickly interject, looking down at how reckless your words came out. âIs everything okay?âÂ
Johnny simply nods. âWhy are you still here?â He questions, looking at the analog clock perched near the windows.Â
âI got a hot date with reports.â You reply bleakly, pointing your pen towards your computer screen. âI just need to finish a few things so I donât have to worry about it.âÂ
âDo you have a lot to do?â
Leaning into your chair, you cross your arms and scan the to-do list you have written on a notepad. âEager to help cut my work load in half, is that it?â
Johnny chuckles quietly, then shakes his head. âEager to have drinks with you tonight actually.â His words are so brazen and matter of fact, it takes you by surprise; only allowing you to stutter out a response before recollecting yourself.Â
âNo,â you chuckle, âwe both know what happened the last time I had drinks with you.âÂ
The fond memory flashes through your mind before you could stop it. The positions he had you in, the marks that remained as a remembrance a few weeks afterwards, and the intense pleasure you felt for hours you couldnât replicate on your own.Â
âPlus, someone could see us.â You add, shoulders slumping when you feel a hint of disappointment in your chest.Â
Johnny sits up, straightening his back and extending his long legs outwards to cross an ankle over the other. âThereâs this bar on the outskirts of the city that no one here goes to.â
You sharply inhale, still cautious about the offer.Â
âColleagues have drinks with each other all the time, why canât we be one of them?â He questions, tilting his head to the side and gaze dragging along your features, eyes softening as the milliseconds pass. âWeâre friends. Friends have drinks with each other.â
The word echoes in your ears and you donât expect the simple label to sting the way it did. Friends. The quick, harsh squeeze of your heart makes you sharply inhale before youâre able to play it off with a long exhale.Â
âYouâve worked hard since you started here and Iâd like to treat you to a night out toââ Johnny pauses, buying himself time to find the words he needs to convince you to spend your Friday night with him. ââcelebrate everything youâve done.â
A tiny uninvited smile tugs at your mouth and Johnny notices it.Â
âIs that a yes?â He quietly teases. âPlease let it be a yes.â
You surrender. âMy place is nearby. We can leave our cars there and get an Uber to the bar.â You offer, giving into the temptation.Â
âSmart girl.â Johnnyâs lips parted into a cheesy grin before jumping to his feet, rubbing the palm of his hands together. âI promise you wonât regret it!â
âââââ
âHowâd you find this place?â You ask. The thin long sleeves of your blouse cling to your arms as you cross them over your chest in an attempt to keep yourself warm against the cool air.
âMy friend Yuta owns it.â Johnny says proudly, hand resting on your mid back and ushering you towards the barâs entrance.Â
âSo you just have bartender friends all over the country?â You giggle, remember the handsome bartender who first introduced you to Johnny.Â
Johnny grins and causally shrugs. âWhat can I say? Making connections is my forte. I even have some out of the country, if you fancy taking a trip with me overseas.âÂ
âLetâs get through tonight first before we start planning trips to other countries. For all you know, I could be trouble.â
âOh I know youâre trouble.â Johnny gives you a knowing glance, standing in line at the entrance. âThat certainly doesnât deter me whatsoever.âÂ
Playfully and gently shoving him, Johnnyâs arm slings over your shoulders and pulls you close as you two walk into the establishment. Classic rock from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s plays in the background as the chattering of patrons suddenly fills your ears. Johnny leads you to an empty table, giving you the small laminated menu sitting among the napkin dispenser and the ketchup and mustard bottles.
As you scan the menu, a young man with dark shoulder length hair pulled back into a half up and down updo using hair sticks appears next to Johnny. With one hand cupping Johnnyâs shoulder, the other lifts to give Johnny a familiar handshake.Â
âHey John, havenât seen you in a while.â The man glances over to you, giving you a friendly smile to show off his pearly white teeth. âWhoâs your lady friend?â
âSheâs my boss.â You catch a mischievous glint in his eye when he looks at you, the corner of his mouth lifting into a smirk.
Your eyes widen and your jaw drops immediately. âI-Iâm not his boss. That would be so inappropriate.â You shake your head, palms facing outward and shaking mirroring the way youâre denying his accusations. Your face quickly heats up, the heat traveling down your entire body making your entire body prickle. âWe just work together.âÂ
Johnnyâs friend laughs loudly. âI believe you, donât worry. Iâm Yuta.â Extending his hand out, you take it and give it a firm shake.Â
âOh! Youâre the owner.â You gleefully say, âIâm Y/N, itâs nice to meet you. How do you know Johnny?âÂ
Yuta scratches the back of his neck. âWe slept together in college.â With his quick movements, he blocks Johnnyâs punch to his shoulder, telling you theyâve done this many times before.
âYou gotta stop telling everyone that.â Johnny shakes his head, pulling Yuta in a headlock. âTell her the truth.â
Yuta flashes you a smile, hands gripping Johnnyâs wrist. âWe were roommates in college,â he laughs, âso technically what I said is true.â Yuta finally frees himself from Johnnyâs grasp, strands of hair somehow falling perfectly to frame his face. âI had the top bunk and he got the bottom.â
âHuh,â you let out as you looked at Johnny, âI never took you as a bottom.âÂ
âAlright, you two are done.â Johnny shakes his head, grabbing Yuta by his shoulders and turning him away.
âYou should get the beer battered fish and chips. Itâs our most popular dish!â Yuta shouts as heâs pushed away from the table and towards the bar.Â
âFor the record I asked for the bottom bunk purely because I kept hitting my head when I sat up. Iâm certainly not a bottomâŠâ Johnny holds contact a little too long enough to catch a mischievous glint in his eyes. âOr have you forgotten?â
Your eyes quickly and bashfully avert away from his gaze, locking onto the menu in your hand. âI think Iâll take the fish and chips, like Yuta recommended.â You let out, changing the subject. âWith a beer.â
âGood choice. Iâll be right back.â
Johnny disappears into the crowd, though the top of his head sticks out and easy to spot makes you less worried that youâll lose sight of him. Taking a glance around the room, you watch the group of people intently watching the white cue ball make its way across the billiards table before strategizing their next move. You glance over the group of people chugging their beers while the rest of the group cheers them on. Your eyes move towards a couple in a corner booth, watching as they giggle to themselves and throwing flirty glances toward each other. You try not to stare, but their nerves are so palpable you could feel it three tables away.
Your attention is pulled towards the unopened bottle of beer in front of you as Johnny takes a swig of the identical bottle in his hand. Without a word, Johnny uses the wide part of a random key from his keychain to effortlessly pop off the bottle cap.Â
âAre you showing off, John?â You playfully retort with your hand resting under your chin.
âDepends. Is it working?â He smiles, taking another sip of his drink. âI figured itâs better to open your drink in front of you, so you know it isnât tampered with.â
âVery considerate of you, thank you.â
Johnny simply lifts his bottle towards you and you gently clink your amber colored glass against his. Taking a long sip, you allow your body to finally relax after a long week of work. Johnny makes himself comfortable on a stool across from you, elbows resting on the round table in front of him.
âWhat caught your attention earlier?â Johnny asks.
âIt looks like that couple may be on a first date.â You share, inconspicuously tilting your head in the direction of the couple in the corner booth. âI found it cute that theyâre holding hands under the table and it got me thinking about my first date, thatâs all.â
âOh?â Johnnyâs eyebrows quirks upward, leaning into the backrest of his chair. âDo tell.âÂ
âNo.â You shake your head. âNot a chance.â
âOh come on!â Johnny pouts. âIâll tell you mine if you tell me yours.â
âAnd what makes you think Iâd want to hear about your first date?â You tease.Â
âFair.â Johnny shrugs. âHearing about another guy being your first anything doesnât seem like a topic Iâd like to touch on.âÂ
You quietly chuckle and lean into your seat. âJealous?â
âHow can I not be?â
Your foot playfully jabs Johnnyâs covered calf, causing him to chuckle to himself. Before he could speak up, youâre interrupted by a waiter and the delivery of the food Johnny ordered for the both of you. With a quick thank you, you take a bite of the potato fry thatâs clearly fresh out of the fryer.
âOkay, so no discussing first date experience. Tell me what your ideal date would be.â Johnny lets out, mirroring your movements and grabbing a bite of the freshly fried potato.
âWhat?â You giggle, folding your arms over your chest. âWhy would you want to know that?â
âHumor me.â Johnny shrugs. âIâm trying to have a normal conversation. What would your ideal date be?âÂ
His gaze locks onto yours and you bite the line heâs throwing. With a sharp inhale, you lean forward. You follow Johnnyâs fingers as he rips a piece of fish from the plate in front of you and dips it into the accompanying sauce the dish comes with before popping it into his mouth.Â
âA candle light dinner at home and a movie afterwards.â
âHuh.â
âWhat?âÂ
âI took you for someone whoâd want to go to a fancy restaurant or something. Maybe take a trip overseas for dinner. Your ideal date seemsââ
âBasic?â
Johnny nods, watching as your lips wrap around the opening of the beer bottle.
âA lot of the men I dated loved the lavish lifestyle and it gets old really fast when you realize theyâd rather shower you with expensive things than spend time with you.â You let out a sigh. âI know it sounds like a first world complaint, but at the end of the day, itâs a whole lot of loneliness.â
âAnd thatâs why youâd rather have a simple night in with someone thatâs genuinely interested in you.â Johnny slowly nods, leaning into his chair and bringing the opening of his drink to his lips. âThatâs good to know.âÂ
âââââ
Four beers in and suddenly Johnnyâs the funniest and most philosophical person you know; not to mention, a yapper who can go on and on about his growing PokĂ©mon card collection that probably makes him the cutest nerd who has a goldmine of rare cards that would put him on a rob list.Â
Two beers in and a glass of whisky later, youâre a giggling mess and suddenly sharing more about your life than youâd ever imagined you would â everything laid out on the table for Johnny to pick and choose what to relentlessly tease you about; though he probably would never.
You catch the glimpse of the time, surprised with how quickly it has passed when you're with Johnny. âWe should probably head out soon. Itâs getting late.âÂ
Johnny lifts his wrist, checking his watch. âTime flies when youâre having fun, huh?â He grins, swallowing the last bits of his drink before pulling his phone out. âIâll order a ride.â
With your hand on his, you halt his movements. âLet me use the restroom first. Itâs a pretty long ride back.â You eye the line of the womanâs restroom, sighing in disappointment as youâre aware of how full your bladder is. âWe might be waiting for a while.âÂ
Johnny follows where your gaze falls before tucking his phone away. Standing from his seat, he offers his hand to help you up. âWe can use Yutaâs office restroom.âÂ
âHeâll be okay with that?â You question, taking his hand and allowing him to lead the way.
âYeah. He gave me a spare key to his office for nights I get too drunk and canât make it home. His couch isnât the comfiest, but when youâre drunk out of your mind, anything will do.âÂ
You giggle, following him down the hall hidden behind the bar. Based on the lack of intervention from the employees, you have a feeling heâs done this a few times short of it becoming a habit.Â
He unlocks the wooden door with a key he has and ushers you in. When the door shuts, the loud music and chatter suddenly stops. âThe restroom is the door on your left. Iâll get a ride here while you do what you gotta do.â
âThank you.â You smile, rushing off to the restroom while Johnny fiddles with his phone.Â
When you exit the restroom, Johnny quickly looks up at you from the sofa and jumps to his feet. âOur ride is 10 minutes away.â
You nod, looking around the room and catching the framed photos on Yutaâs desk. One photo of who you assumed to be Yuta and his parents, another of Yuta and his sisters, and another of a younger bar owner and a group of men â one of them being a shirtless younger Johnny with bleached blonde hair and lack of his tattoos that adorned his bicep that youâve imagined tracing over more than youâd like to admit.Â
âThis is you, right?â You smile, pointing at the photo of him at the beach with his friends. âI wouldnât have expected you to go blonde.â
Johnny sharply inhales, shaking his head in disapproval of his younger selfâs choices. âSpur of the moment type of thing.â He shrugs, using his large hand to cover the photo from your view. âLetâs not walk down memory lane of embarrassing moments.â
You smile, setting the framed photo down where it previously was. âMaybe you should consider going back.â Lifting your hand, you run your fingers through the side of his hair. âI think you looked great.â
âThanks, but I donât think Iâm very fond of the idea of frying my hair off again.â Johnny chuckles, taking your hand in his. âI just got it back to a healthy state.â
Pulling your hand back, you cross your arms over your chest. âShould we wait outside for our ride?âÂ
Johnny glances towards the door, then back at you. Lifting his hand, he gently moves a strand of hair away from your eyes and tucking it behind your ear. âI think youâll be warmer here.âÂ
Your knees go weak and thereâs the flutters in your stomach that you try to bury deep into the pit of your stomach. When you finally meet his eyes, his gaze flicks between your eyes and lips. âWhy are you looking at me like that?â You mumble, suddenly feeling self conscious.Â
âYouâre beautiful.â
âWe agreed to be strictly professional.â Your voice trembles when you feel his palm slide down your arm, the conviction in your words slowly withering with a simple touch. âCompliments like that are making me think youâre not holding up your end of our deal.â
âBelieve me, Iâm trying.â Johnny chuckles, his hand now playing with your fingertips right before lacing his fingers between yours. âYouâre justâŠreally hard to ignore.âÂ
His lips press against your knuckles and you donât stop him; not when he gives you a tender kiss on your wrist or when his lips press into your cheek, and certainly not when his hand cups the side of your neck and he gently weaves his lips with yours.Â
Warmth spreads through your body while his arms slide across your lower back to pull you closer. Your body arches into him, fingers mindlessly raking through his hair before you pull away slightly breathless.Â
âI donât think this is what friends do, Johnny.âÂ
A quiet huff that resembles a laugh leaves his lips before resuming his movements. âPlease donât be mad. I only said that because I thought you wanted me to say it.â He confesses between breaths and kisses. âI thought thatâd be more palatable than to tell you how badly I want you.âÂ
A smile blooms across your lips, satisfied with his words. You deepen the kiss â this time your lips frantically moving like youâve been deprived from his touch for years.Â
You press against the edge of the desk, feeling the bulge forming under Johnnyâs dress pants and heat pools between your thighs. Your hand dips under his waistband, feeling his warm and veiny shaft harden at your touch, twitching as your fingers wrap around his girth. With one full stroke from his base to his tip, he shudders. Your thumb rolls over his slit, his hand cups the back of your head and fingers grip your roots, tilting your head to look at him.Â
âTell me you want me too.â He softly growls, his forehead pressing against yours. âI canât be the only one.â
You grin, slowly stroking his shaft and watching him melt under your touch. âI need you.â You whisper against his lips. âLet me taste you.â
Johnny takes half a step back and you drop to your knees, fingers hastily moving to bring his waistband down his thighs. Before he could take in the sight of you on your knees for him, you envelop his tip between your lips and his jaw drops at the warmth your mouth offers. As your tongue swirls around his sensitive tip, his head tips back and his teeth bite down on his knuckle to stop the noise he so desperately wants to make.Â
Swallowing around him, saliva runs down your chin as his tip meets the back of your throat. Your eyes begin to water and when you look up at him, mouth full of his heavy cock, your tears spill from the outer corners of your eyes and he gently swipes them away with his thumbs.
âYouâre doing a great job, baby.â He coos, the pads of his fingers gently stroking the space under your eyes. âYouâre so perfect. Taking me so well.â
Your tummy does backflips and you squeeze your thighs shut, focusing on the bobbing of your head and the swirl of your tongue. Your cheeks hallow around his tip, sucking it until his lips break apart with a moan, jaw slacking and chest huffing up at down.Â
âMy perfect girl.â He babbles, fingers gripping the roots of your hair. âKeep doing that and Iâm gonna come for you.â
Excitement ignites just behind your bellybutton, sucking on his tip just as youâve done before. His eyes flutter shut and his brows draw tight. Johnny quietly groans your name, whispering it over and over like a prayer. His cheeks burn and his fingers twitch just before he tightens his grip in your hair.
And before he could stop it, his thick creamy ropes paint your tongue as his body stills, letting his entire body feel the ecstasy you helped him achieve. With a quick swallow of the remnants in your mouth, you pepper his sensitive tip and shaft with gentle kisses.Â
Helping you to your feet, his lips crash into yours while his hands frantically grope your backside. But before any other exploration could happen, a notification on his phone goes off.Â
A small frustrated groan rumbles in his throat and he pulls his phone out to see the notification that the ride heâs requested is arriving.Â
âEverything okay?â You ask, glancing at Johnnyâs phone then catching his eye.Â
âYeah, our ride is here.â He sighs, giving you a gentle kiss on your forehead. âWe should probablyââ He tilts his head towards the door and you simply nod, quickly readjusting your clothes before Johnny leads you out the door hand in hand.
Johnny slides in next to you, fingers lacing between yours and his head resting on your shoulder. The hints of his cologne mix with the smell of alcohol on his lips, and while youâd find it completely unpleasant if it were anyone else, Johnny was the exception.Â
And part of you entertains the idea that heâll always be an exception.
â Apartment 3B.
âThank you for tonight.â Johnny gives you a lopsided smile, the alcohol still coursing through his bloodstream. âNot just for what happened in Yutaâs office, but for letting me get to know you a little more.â
âYeah, it was fun. A night away every once and a while doesnât hurt.â You nod, feeling the cool air prickling your skin.Â
Thereâs a beat of silence, unsure of where to go from here. You shift on your feet, looking behind you at the entrance of your apartment building and Johnny glances towards his parked car, fingers fiddling with the keys in his pocket.Â
âI should probably go.â Johnnyâs lips press into each other, rocking back and forth on his heels. âYou must be tired.â
A tiny grin dances on your lips. Stepping forward, you reach for Johnnyâs wrist as he pulls his keys out of his pockets. He looks at you surprised, lips parting slightly.Â
âI canât let you drive after drinking tonight regardless of how much you can âhandle your liquor.ââ You let out, gently tugging on his wrist.Â
âYouâre right.â Johnny sighs, looking back at his car. âIâll sleep in myââ
You lift your palm to stop him. âYouâll be warmer in my place.â Giving him an affirmative nod, you pull him towards your buildingâs front entrance before he could object and you refuse to let his hand go as you both walk up to the third floor to your apartment.Â
As you push open the front door, you feel the surge of anticipation run through you as you blindly search for the nearby lightswitch. When the bright warm colored lights fill the room, you quickly step in and both you and your guest for the night toe off your shoes, kicking them to the side of the entrance way.Â
âNice place,â Johnny compliments, âvery cozy.â
You chuckle, turning on your heel to look at him. âThanks. Câmon, Iâll give you a quick tour.â Extending your hand out, he cups his palm into yours but this time, he pulls you into his body â one hand finding your waist while the other cups the side of your neck and his lips hastily find his way to yours once more.Â
You donât take a second to think about what to do next when your hands frantically undo the buttons of his long sleeve shirt and strip it off, throwing it haphazardly behind you while he drops his pants to the floor, leaving him in nothing but his underwear. It takes a split second to have your clothes in a pile next to the front door, leaving you in your matching garment set.
Youâre stumbling through your apartment entrance, finally tumbling on top of Johnny as he falls onto your sofa. Climbing on top of him, knees pressing into the cushions of each side of his thighs, his erection hardens with every minuscule movement of your hips.Â
âFinally gonna let me be on top?â You playfully ask, trailing kisses against his jaw and down the side of his neck.Â
Johnny rasps a laugh, arms wrapping around your hips and in one swift move, heâs on top of you â giving you your answer.Â
âNot a chance.â He hums as the tip of his nose brushes against your cheek just before placing a soft tender kiss on your heated skin. âNow openââ He smacks the side of your thigh, the slap of flesh filling the silence of the room. âI need to taste you after youâve deprived me for so long.âÂ
You do as he says, spreading your thighs apart as you watch Johnny drop to his knees. Pulling aside the fabric covering your core, he wastes no time tasting you with a long strip of his tongue against your slit. Your head presses into the soft backing of your sofa, fingers raking through his hair as he devours you with no end in sight even when your vision blurs into stars or when your chest heaves up and down, and certainly not when youâre a whimpering mess with your nails digging into your cushion and gripping the edge of your seat.
Your body trembles when he gives you mercy, pulling away with his lips and chin glistening with your slick. You grab his hair, yanking him to your lips and your hands busy themselves with the waistband of the only fabric he has on. Slipping it down his legs and letting it pool around his feet before kicking it to the side, you give his long length a few pumps until his jaw slacks open as he feels all his blood rush to his cock.Â
Aligning his leaking tip with your entrance, he pushes into you, pressing your thighs to widen your spread for him. And with ease, you take him without hesitation.Â
âYour cunt is starving for me, babyââ Johnny groans, âbegging me to stretch this pretty pussy open until youâre stuffed full with my cum.â
Blood rushes to your face and your heart races. You watch the way Johnnyâs blown out pupils scan your features, suddenly making you extremely aware of how intoxicating his movements are â the quick and brutal thrust of his hips, the rush of heat through your body when his tip meets that sweet spot, and especially when his fingers dig into your skin as he pulls you down his cock.Â
You donât bother being quiet. Not when Johnny pushes your knees to your chest and traps your body between him and the couch cushions, feeling your pulse pick up in speed and the octave in your moans becoming louder and louder with every pound of his cock into your soaking cunt.Â
âScream for me, baby.â Johnny growls, the raw slapping of flesh punctuated by a groan. âLet everyone know Iâm breeding my girl. Let them know youâre mine.â
His words only rattle in your head, making you nod and babble like the obedient slut you are. You cry out his name, tears prickling from the outer corners of your eyes as you writhe under him.Â
âSay youâre mine.â He orders through clenched teeth, hips harshly thrusting into you before stilling, feeling his tip press into your g-spot and making your eyes roll back. âSay. It.â
âYââ Your breath hitches. âI-Iâm yours.â
You mindlessly repeat the words, satisfying Johnny as his hips mercilessly snaps into you until youâre sobbing out how pathetically close you are to the edge; unable to hold on to the last bit of control youâre desperately clinging on to.Â
Your voice breaks as you cry out his name, feeling your walls tighten around every crevice of his engorged cock. Your eyes roll back, nails scraping down the skin of his back as his face buries into the crook of your neck. You whimper through the pleasure and your desperate noises are enough to make his voice crack on a moan, feeling him empty himself inside of you in sharp pulses. His cock twitches and a gravelly groan rumbles from his chest, pinning your hand into the sofa cushion with his eyes screwing shut and jaw slacking open at the bliss coursing through his body.
When he pulls his heavy cock out of you, the remnants he left behind slowly drip out of you and onto your flushed skin. Johnny smirks, using two fingers to scoop up the spill and push it back inside.Â
âIt's dripping out of you already.â Johnny grins, fascinated with the sight of you limp and satisfied.Â
âMaybe you should fuck it in me again.â You happily let out as you prop yourself on your elbows. âHarder this time.âÂ
âThat wasnât hard enough for you?â Johnny questions, an eyebrow quirking and his grin spreads wider, sharp enough to make your pulse skip. âIâm gonna have to fix that, donât I?â
âI think so,â you tease. âUnless you think you donât have it in you?â
Johnny laughs deep in his throat, a laugh that promises trouble. âOh youâre definitely going to regret saying that.âÂ
âââââ
The ache between your thighs is difficult to ignore as you carefully pull yourself out of bed to make coffee for yourself and the unexpected overnight guest who laid peacefully with his body heat keeping you warm last night.Â
âWhere are you going?â He groggily asks, one eye squinting as he lifts his head to watch you throw on your silk robe. âDonât tell me youâre leaving me again.â His sleepy smile sends your heart into overdrive and you give him a reassuring peck on his temple.
âIâm gonna make coffee.â You whisper. âIts also my place, where else would I go?â
Johnny sheepishly smiles, falling back onto your pillow as you walk out of your bedroom and into the kitchen. As you wait for the coffee, the silence makes you think back on the night you had â a night that somehow surpassed the pleasure of the first time you spent with Johnny. You find your giddy state to be slightly embarrassing, but you canât help but quietly squeal as if you had reached a new level of happiness.Â
âI love the smell of coffee in the morning,â Johnny yawns, joining you in your kitchen still in his boxer briefs. He takes a seat on a countertop and carefully takes hold of the mug you offer, taking a small sip. His eyes flutter shut, allowing the warm liquid to work its way through his body. âNot the best cure for a hangover, but addicting nonetheless.â
You chuckle, taking small sips of your beverage. âWhat do you want for breakfast?â You ask, setting down your favorite mug and making your way to the fridge. You pull the double fridge doors open, quickly embarrassed by the emptiness in front of you. âAh, on second thoughtââ You let out an awkward laugh before it falters into a fake cough.
âBreakfast is on me. Is delivery okay?â Johnny swoops in, hopping off the counter.Â
You eagerly nod, delighted by the idea that you get to finally spend the morning after with Johnny.Â
Johnny disappears into your bedroom to fetch his phone, meanwhile your attention turns to the front door after hearing your doorbell. Peaking through the peephole, youâre surprised to see your elderly neighbor, Mrs. Kang, outside with her lip tucked between her teeth and her brows knitted together.Â
You quickly open your front door and a wave of relief washes over your neighborâs face when she sees you.Â
âOh thank god!â Mrs. Kang lets out. âYouâre okay.â
âY-yeah, I am. Is everything okay? Do you need help, Mrs. K?âÂ
Your elderly neighbor shakes her head. Her short dark bob swung at her movements. âItâs just, I didnât hear you come home last night and then I heard these noises coming from your apartment. I called my daughter to see what I should do â if I should check in on you when I heard the noise or call the police right awayâŠâ
You nod attentively as you hear her express her concern. A mix of embarrassment about how loud you were and the regret of not throwing on your sleepwear makes you uncomfortably adjust your robe. You hold the fabric together near your collarbones, almost afraid Mrs. Kang could somehow see youâre completely naked underneath.Â
ââŠbut she told me to check in on you in the morning. So here I am.âÂ
You nervously gulp, suddenly feeling youâve done something wrong. âIâm so sorry to worry you, Mrs. K. I went out for drinks with a friend of mine and didnât get in until late.â
âBut the noisesââ
âHey baby, do you want a breakfast sandwich or are you feelingââ Johnnyâs voice becomes clearer as he appears behind you, still in his underwear, eyes glued to his phone screen, and completely unaware of your neighborâs presence or her wide eyes when she finally connects the dots in her head.Â
âOh.â Mrs. Kang simply says, finally grabbing Johnnyâs attention. She bites back a sheepish grin, avoiding eye contact with you and the handsome man behind you. âAh, the noises make sense.âÂ
âIâm so sorry Mrs. Kang. I wasnâtâI didnâtâI-Iâll keep it down, I promise.â You profusely apologize, using your arm to push Johnny behind you in fear that his half-naked body would somehow send your poor neighbor into cardiac arrest.Â
âNot to worry, dear. I was young too and had my share of midnight friends.â Mrs. Kang giggles. âIâm so glad youâre okay.â
âThank you for checking in. Iâll give you my number, that way when youâre worried or need help, you can just call me directly.â You quickly jot down your personal phone number on a nearby memo pad.Â
âAnd your name, dear?â Mrs. Kang looks at Johnny who is now using your front door to hide his promiscuous state.Â
âOh! Uh, Iâm John. John Suh, maâam.â You catch a hint of redness paint over Johnnyâs cheeks and travel down his pale neck. âI apologize for the noise. I told her to keep it down last night.âÂ
With a quick nudge to Johnnyâs bicep, you give your neighbor the piece of paper with your number. âIâm so sorry, again.â
Mrs. Kang lifts her hand, palm facing you. A warm smile stretched across her face. âItâs no problem. Iâm just glad you're safe."Â
âThank you, Mrs. K. Just let me know if weâre a bother or anything. We wonât take offense, I swear.âÂ
âWill do, dear. Have fun you two.âÂ
You and Johnny wave an awkward goodbye before he slowly shuts the door. When he turns to you, he gives you a small laugh under his breath as he scratches the back of his neck. âThat was awkward.âÂ
You give him a knowing look, crossing your arm over your chest. âTold me to keep it down last night, huh?â Your eyebrows raise and your head tilts to the side. âWerenât you the one telling me to do the opposite?â
Johnny gives you a lopsided smile before his palms cup your cheeks, pulling you in to give you a kiss on your forehead. âBack to breakfast, what do you wanna eat?âÂ
âSurprise me.â You mumble into his chest as your arms wrap around his waist. âI trust you.â
Cupping the back of your head, he lifts his phone and orders breakfast from a familiar diner that heâs ordered from before, getting the both of you his regular order.Â
âNow thatâs settledââ Johnny tosses his phone onto your couch and swoops you up over his shoulder. A squeal leaves your lips, legs flailing as Johnny saunters into your bedroom.
âWhatâre you doing?â You giggle as youâre gently thrown onto your mattress, watching as Johnny climbs on top of you. His fingers play with the fabric holding your robe together before tugging at it, watching the silk unravel and slip down your shoulder.Â
âHaving a pre-breakfast.â His devilish grin disarms you quickly, allowing him to spread your thighs wide. âThis time, you might wanna keep it downâŠfor your neighborâs sake.â
â The Morning After.
Walking into the break room, youâre greeted by Mina and her insanely bubbly personality at 7:30 in the morning. âHow was your weekend?â She asks, taking a generous bite of a donut that another employee brought in to share.
You canât help but bite back a smile, fingers busying themselves as they shuffle through the newly stocked bags of veggie chips to snack on later. Spending the entire weekend with Johnny wasnât something youâd plan, but between the fucking, the cuddling, and the pure bliss of simply being around each other made it hard for either of you to be the first one to let go of the hold you two had on each other.Â
âIt was fine. How was yours?â
Mina babbles on and on about how she rearranged her bedroom twice, had a virtual meetup with some friends back home, and started a rewatch binge of The Big Bang Theory for the 5th time.Â
From the corner of your eye, you catch a familiar figure coolly sauntering into the room with his hair parted perfectly, hands stuffed into the pockets of his pants, and shining the same glow youâve had since Friday night. A few morning greetings are thrown his way and Johnny kindly returns polite conversation before interjecting into your conversation with Mina.Â
âMorning Mina.â Johnny smiles politely, then turns to you. âMorning, boss. Think I could pick your brain before our meeting today?â Johnny asks, eyes locked with yours as if heâs giving you a message only youâll understand.
âPutting her to work before 8 am? Youâre brutal, Suh.â Mina teases, tossing the used napkin in her hand into a nearby trash bin.Â
âWhat can I say? I gotta keep her focused.â Johnny laughs quietly, then turns to you. âWhat do you say?â
You nod at Johnny before wrapping up your conversation with Mina. Following closely behind Johnny, he opens his office door and gestures to you inside. When you hear the doorâs lock click, Johnnyâs hands find your waist, twisting your body and pressing his against yours.Â
âSo, this is your idea of picking my brain?â You giggle, throwing your arms around his shoulders and pulling his lips to yours weaving them together like youâd done this entire weekend.
Johnny smiles against your lips, fingers cupping the nape of your neck. âThis weekend wasnât long enough.âÂ
âItâs a good thing you see me here everyday, huh?âÂ
Johnny hums. âAnd yet, it somehow feels like that wonât be enough.âÂ
With your palms firmly pressed into Johnnyâs chest, you pull away from his kiss. âYouâre obsessed.â You playfully remark, carefully moving the strand of his hair thatâs fallen onto his forehead.
âCome over after work.â Johnny offers, lips leaving a trail of kisses on your cheek.Â
âNext, youâre gonna ask me to stay the night.â
âWould that be a bad thing?âÂ
You hesitate for a moment, your eyes searching for sincerity in his. Then you realize where you are â at work, with your co-worker peppering you with kisses in secret.
âWhatâs wrong?â Johnny asks, afraid heâs crossed a line he canât come back from. âI-Iâm sorry.â Quickly dropping his arms, he steps away to give you space.Â
âNo, no. You didnâtââ you quickly say. âMaybe we can keep things professional during work hours. The last thing I want is for us to lose our jobs because we canât keep our hands off each other.âÂ
Johnny nods in agreement. âWeâll keep things professional during work hours. Iâll take what I can get.â He looks at the digital clock sitting on his desk. âWe have 10 minutes before our work shift actually starts. Does that count aââ
Biting down on your bottom lip, your hand snakes behind the back of his neck to pull him down to your lips. But just before you could meet his lips, his office phone startles the both of you when it rings and Mr. Choiâs name pops up on the screen.Â
Johnny grumbles quietly before lifting the receiver to his ear. Johnny greets the manager simply, listening to his words and rolling his eyes in the process.Â
âSure, Iâll head up in a bit.â Johnny says before hanging up. He looks at you apologetically, holding your hand in his. âChoi wants me to meet some fresh college grads for an internship here. He says heâs pairing one with me and that I should meet her before the internship actually starts.â
You donât mean to focus on such a minor detail, but your mouth works faster than your brain sometimes. âHer? Your new intern is a woman?â
You see a small grin tug on the corner of Johnnyâs mouth. âYouâre kinda cute when youâre jealous. Your nose crinkles a little when your eyebrowsââ Johnny reaches to press his thumb against your furrowed eyebrows before you swat his hand away.Â
âIâm not jealous.â Your attempt to make your words sound less defensive but the amused look on Johnnyâs face makes you realize he can see right through you.Â
âThatâs good,â Johnny reassures, âbecause thereâs no reason to be. Iâm yours, remember?âÂ
You press a smile as you feel his lips pecking against your cheek. Pushing down the uncomfortable feeling brewing in the pit of your stomach, you file this jealous feeling under irrationality in your brain.Â
After all, Johnny is loyal â to a fault sometimes, like Jaehyun shared. Thereâs nothing you need to worry about.
