“Do it. Undress me, touch me, kiss me, then take me. I dare you.”

The world seemed to stop as Zoren held his breath, Penny’s voice echoing many times in the silence. A shadow cast upon his face as he lowered his head, his hair falling down his thick brows, his eyes dark and dangerous.

‘Say less, he breathed out, and without a moment’s hesitation, he seized her lips in a kiss. He placed his palm on the door behind her, his other hand circling around her waist. In one swift motion, he lifted her into his arms.

Even Zoren was unsure how or where he got the strength, but he knew this couldn’t happen Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

here.

With her legs and arms wrapped around him, their lips tangled and unwilling to let go, he carried her to the nearest couch.

Laying her down slowly, he leaned back slightly while unbuttoning his shirt. One foot stayed. firmly on the floor, his other knee between her legs. A sense of urgency rushed through his veins, as if he was running out of time.

Penny briefly gasped for air, almost suffocated by his deep kiss. Her racing heart wasn’t helping, nor was the rising heat between them. The air was still, smothering her, and yet, like a willing victim, she foolishly let it be.

In every situation, Penny often thought things over twice or more than a hundred times. After all, she was always afraid of the repercussions of her actions and decisions. She proved that anything she would do could change things drastically. But right now, there weren’t any second thoughts, not because she didn’t have any, but because lust seemed to have overtaken her, pushing her to embrace her biological needs and wants.

“Sir Ben!”

A faint call from outside penetrated the thick doors of the entrance, reaching Penny and Zoren’s ears. The call was faint and barely audible, but it was like a snap of the fingers in Penny’s brain. Her eyes flew open as a rush of panic overwhelmed her desire, snapping her awake from the world they were trapped in. Penny abruptly clasped Zoren’s shoulders and pushed him slightly, but he simply tilted his head and traced kisses along the side of her neck.

“Ren Renren!” she called out in panic, lifting her head to peek over his back at the entrance. All she saw were shadows through the gap under the door. “Renren!”

Zoren still didn’t stop, prompting her to grab his shoulder blades and push him away. His lips curved downward, his dark expression hovering over her.

“What?” he asked, his voice coarse with a tinge of impatience.

She tapped his shoulders with short, quick taps. “Get off. Mr. Vitt is here!”

Zoren glanced at the shoulder blade she was tapping before his eyes fell back on her face. He blinked slowly, tilting his head slightly to the side.

“So?” he asked out of plain curiosity. “He’ll leave once he sees I’m busy.

“That’s not she choked, realizing she should’ve known nothing would stop this guy. Thus, she blurted out, “I’m not ready!”

“You’re not ready… but you dared me to?”

“That’s not what I’m not ready for, Penny clarified awkwardly. “I think I’m ready for that, dearest. What I’m not ready for is Benjamin harassing me every minute of my day. He might end up missing!”

Zoren heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the first half of her sentence. But when he heard the second part, his expression returned to its original stiffness.

“Wait here for a second-” he tried to reach for the coffee table where his phone was.

“What are you going to do?” she asked, watching him reach for his phone while still maintaining his spot. It wasn’t that he reached for his phone that concerned her, but the fact that he showed no sign of planning to get off of her.

“Going to send him to the Arctic for a task,” he replied as he successfully grabbed his phone. But just as he was about to speed dial, Penny grabbed his arm to stop him. “Yes?”

“Ren… Zoren, don’t send the poor guy to the Arctic Ocean,” she laughed nervously. “He’s annoying, but… you still need him. Remember Patricia? I’m still tracing who sent her.”

Right. They had some matters to resolve…

“After this, he remarked. “Let’s resolve that later”

Zoren lowered his head to continue, but Penny just slapped his shoulders to stop him. Suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, he pushed himself away from her. He stared at her for a moment and sighed.

“I don’t want to.”

Meanwhile, just outside the entrance, Benjamin raised his brows at the bodyguard who stopped

him.

“What?” he asked irritably, unable to take it any longer. “What were you saying? You were just mumbling. I don’t understand.”

The bodyguard opened and closed his mouth, trying to think of excuses to stop this guy from entering. They hadn’t received any orders from either Penny or Zoren, but they weren’t foolish enough not to know something was happening inside.

“Uh, the thing is…” the bodyguard trailed off before raising his voice in case Penny and Zoren hadn’t reached the bedroom. “I lost my ID, Mr. Vitt! What should I do?!”

Benjamin scoffed at him. “That’s all? Why are you yelling? Goodness!”

The bodyguard pressed his lips together tightly, glancing at the shut door beside them.

“Tch! Delaying me for such trivial matters. Do you think it’s my job to make your ID? I’ll call

someone later to get you a new one. Tch. Benjamin clicked his tongue and turned, reaching for the knob.

As Benjamin opened the door, the bodyguard held his breath, wide–eyed. For some reason, the bodyguard’s heart was thudding against his chest. This was more nerve–racking than a dangerous mission. When the door opened, the bodyguard’s breath hitched nervously as his back broke into a sweat. 2

Unaware of the bodyguard’s anxiety, Benjamin opened the door wide and stepped in. The moment he did, he stopped, frozen.
