Soo-Ah pushed her hair aside and heeded his instructions, clumsily keeping her teeth away but making the man gasp for air nonetheless. He kept her head in place and shoved his staff deeper, tickling the back of her mouth and making it impossible for her to swallow. The sudden push made her brace herself against his hips. She struggled, having her entire mouth under siege, her heartbeat picking up a notch from the adrenaline of not knowing if and when she would be allowed to finally breathe at ease. This was definitely an activity requiring a level of sophistication that could only come with experience.

All the servants of The Yangtze Riverbank Tea House were kept busy with more useful things than gossip. But that did not stop them. They still gossiped and giggled while preparing the most luxurious room on the upper floor to be worthy of a royal patron. Beyond the double cherry doors, precious materials and extravagant furnishings in lavender tones showed the matrons spared no money for the comfort of their top clientele. Under draped sheer veils sat an inviting bath carved in marble and having hot water fill it to the brim. Ginseng and dried camellia petals were sprinkled to make a soaking infusion aimed to restore the vigour and replenish colour with colour for a healthy skin glow. The perfect tonic to set up the body for any kind of activities, platonic or otherwise.

Well, that serves him right. He was the one that fell so hard for her. Maybe this should serve as a cautionary experience and he should take a couple of steps back. Did she want to be alone? Fine. She could be alone all she wanted.

When had Soo-Ah become such an astute manipulator or was he that gullible around her? He hoped that at least he kept his promise since he saw her stumbling a little after she got up on her feet. He did say he would give her more pleasure than she could handle.

This was one development she did not expect. Neither that she would feel guilty to see him sleeping outside once again. Maybe sharing this intimate experience with each other had not been the best of ideas. Since it came to pass though, perhaps it was better for each of them to have some space. But only for tonight.

Her eyelids were too lazy to chase the sleep away until she got a glimpse of the unfamiliar ceiling.  Soo-Ah blinked fast until she was wide awake, remembering where she was and how she got there. Willingly, she closed her eyes again in a futile attempt to keep that last vision of her dream still embedded on her retina; her grandfather sitting on the porch of their country manor, calling for her to come home. Home. How she would have preferred that dream to be her reality and her reality to be just a nightmare.

His was the only love she got for free. The only kind of love that was pure in this world. A parent's love for his child. Except he was not her parent. They were not even blood-related, and he had offered her everything, no price tag attached. Her grandfather was indeed one of a kind.

With his hair still damp from the bath he just took, and the shirt clinging to his wet torso, Jung-In cracked his door open. His face lit up for one second, before turning cold. Without any words, he stepped aside to return to his rattling, allowing the woman to do as she pleased.
