Forbidden Desire

I stared at him, feeling a bit dizzy, trying to understand what had happened, since one moment he was caressing me and now it seemed like I had hit him.

“No love, it’s not that I think about it, but we are very different, nobody knows what might happen.”

I tried to explain as calmly as possible, but from the expression he made, I think I was only making things worse. He stood still for a few seconds, staring at me, seeming to digest what I had said, until his eyes seemed to well up and he said sarcastically.

“Good to know that’s how you think, Jane. It’s really nice to know that.”

He turned his back and seemed hurt.

“Love, don’t be like this,”

“You know what, Jane, it’s better if you rest…”

He left the room leaving me there, and I thought for a moment whether I should go after him or not. I hadn’t done anything wrong, or at least I think I hadn’t. I lay there for a while reflecting and decided to lie down, but after half an hour, I still couldn’t sleep without the warmth of his body, so I tried to come up with a plan to make things right. I decided to go to the kitchen to get a tub of ice cream and found one of vanilla. I grabbed two spoons and went looking for him around the house, remembering that night we ate ice cream together, hoping that would be enough to make things right. I looked for him in the living room, in the office, in the library, and didn’t find him. When I reached the outdoor pool area, I saw him sitting in a chair holding an empty glass of whiskey, seeming to admire the moon. I approached with the intention of making peace, but before I could get close enough, I saw Bianca wearing a pajama with animal print shorts approaching him with a glass of whiskey with ice.

“Here, Mr. Park.”

“Thank you, Bia, as I said, you didn’t need to. You can go to sleep, it’s late.”

“No, it’s okay! I’m not sleepy.”

He took a sip of the drink and looked back at the moon, seemingly ignoring the girl’s presence.

“Are you okay, Mr.? Need to talk?”

“I’m fine, thank you.”

“Did you have dinner, Mr.? If you want, I can prepare something.”

“I had dinner with Jane and Mrs. Amelia as soon as I arrived.”

She seemed disappointed and stared at him blatantly while he was distracted. Sometimes she seemed to sigh, making me feel more and more angry at this little scene. When her gentle approach seemed not to work, she said in a tone full of malice.

“Is there anything I can do for you, Mr.?”

Jason took another sip of his drink and ended up smiling. I had seen enough and turned to leave, but being clumsy, I ended up stumbling over one of the chairs nearby, catching the attention of the two who looked at me startled.

“Jane, what are you doing out of bed?”

He dropped the drink glass, coming to me looking worried, but I was already angry, so I could only focus on her, who seemed to not know what to do.

“Do you feel anything? Why aren’t you resting?”

He looked at me worried, but his questions were already annoying me, so I replied with a sarcastic tone.

“I came to ask for a truce and see if you wanted to share some ice cream with me like we did that night by the pool, but I guess you already found better company, so here!”

I practically threw the ice cream at him and put the spoons in his hand.

“Enjoy!”

He seemed happy with my reaction, which only annoyed me even more. I left stomping, followed by him.

“Jane, it’s not like that. Come here!”

I continued walking extremely irritated, and he smiled as he called me, making my anger grow even more.

“Come here, you silly!”

He said with a sweet tone as he finally caught up with me, hugging me from behind. I wriggled out of his embrace and started walking faster, making him laugh even more.

“Come here, my girl!”

When I realized it, I had already reached the room, and he entered, closing the door behind him.

“My girl? Is that so? Or is it Bianca?”

I said with as much mockery as I could muster when mentioning the girl I had already grown disgusted with.

“Of course it’s you, my jealous one!”

He approached me, hugging me again, and I tried to break free, but this time I couldn’t, he was stronger than me and had stuck to me.

“Jason, let me go!”

“Never, my jealous one! I’ll never let you go, and I won’t let you leave me.”

He started laughing again, and seeing his smile made me weak, but I didn’t want to fall under his spell.

“Stop it, Jason, I’m not finding it funny at all.”

He held my face firmly in his hands, making me look into his eyes.

“Well, I’m finding it very funny! I’m loving seeing you all feisty with jealousy over me. It means you care.”

“Of course I care!”

I said, still pouting, and his smile grew even wider as his eyes sparkled at me.

“Look, the reason I got so upset earlier is because I don’t even think about that possibility.”

“What possibility?”

“Us being apart. It’s impossible for me, I’ve said it several times, I can’t be away from you, and knowing that you think about it.”

“It’s not that I think about it, I just think that nobody knows the future.”

He shook his head in disagreement.

“You’re wrong, I know our future!”

I ended up smiling, and he pulled me closer to him.

“We’ll overcome all the obstacles that come our way together, we’ll have a happy life full of love, we’ll get married and fill this house with children running around everywhere. We’ll grow old together and stay together until the end.”

I looked at him, feeling my heart race as I heard him say all that because I knew there was nothing in the world I wanted more than that. He tried to kiss me, but before that, I asked.

“How do you know?”

“Because it’s what I want!”

He invaded my mouth with his tongue, kissing me deliciously, devouring, possessing, demanding more and more from my lips. I remembered the scene I saw and stopped the kiss.

“And Bianca?”

He looked at me and gave a smile that sent away the rest of my sanity.

“You are now the lady of the house, you just have to tell me to fire her tomorrow.”

He picked me up, making me wrap my legs around him, and took me to bed, lying on top of me while our tongues danced softly, massaging each other while our bodies seemed to heat up more and more. He pulled me onto his lap, making me sit on top of him while he smiled at me.

“I don’t care about anything else, my girl. Just about you and me, my jealous one.”

I kissed his neck, causing shivers through the older man, and felt him smile as he heard me say.

“I wasn’t jealous.”

I said, whining, and he looked at me before devouring my mouth.

“You were, and I loved it!”

He had a supernatural power over me, and before I knew it, we were completely disoriented and completely satisfied, we rolled over to each side and it took us some time to recover from all the pleasure we had. When we finally recovered, we lay side by side while finishing eating the delicious ice cream. We ended up playing and getting all dirty with ice cream. The rest of the week passed by lightly, and we were trying to talk about our problems instead of arguing. He ended up convincing me to go with him to the company’s charity event, and when the day came, I was equally nervous and excited. He hired a hairdresser and a makeup artist to make me look as beautiful as possible. I wore an emerald green silk dress that enhanced the bronzed tone of my skin, the dress was well fitted to my body and had a slightly exaggerated slit, he himself had chosen this dress for me and although before I hadn’t felt comfortable with it, now I felt powerful, to complete the look I was wearing high heels of the same color that I spent the whole week training to walk well with those shoes and it had worked because now I strutted as I descended the stairs with Jason’s loving gaze on me. His eyes sparkled and seeing the smile that appeared on his face as he looked at me only confirmed how much he had loved seeing me like this. When I reached the last step, he took my hand and seemed to analyze my look.

“You look marvelous! A true Goddess!”

He looked me up and down, making me spin slowly for him as he admired me more and more surprised.

“Only one thing is missing.”

I look at him confused and he takes a navy blue velvet box from inside the suit he was wearing, when he opens it I see a pair of earrings and a dazzling diamond necklace.

“Love, this is beautiful!”

“Just the most beautiful diamonds for the most beautiful woman!”

I couldn’t stop smiling, he made me turn around to put the necklace on my neck and then held my purse while I put on the earrings. Seeing the final production, he seemed satisfied and said firmly.

“You’ll be the most beautiful woman at this event. You look marvelous!”

I look at the tuxedo he was wearing and adjust his bow tie, which made him even more handsome.

“You look marvelous too, my love! Today and always, anywhere we go, you’ll always be the most handsome man!”

He could barely contain his smile and we left there hand in hand heading towards the limousine that was already waiting for us. Already on the way to the event we toasted and drank a glass of champagne still inside the car, we were in a celebratory mood and although Jason was a little nervous about needing this new sponsorship, I could tell how happy he was to be by my side. When we arrived at the venue, Jason helped me out of the limousine and even from the outside I could see through the staircase covered by a red velvet carpet how fancy that place was. As we approached, Jason took out the invitation from his jacket and handed it to the host who Jason had whispered to me was the man he wanted to impress. As we approached, Jason greeted him and the man made a point of introducing the elegant woman with gray hair by his side as his wife. Jason greeted her and soon the man asked.

“And I presume this is your wife?”

He pulled me closer to him crossing our arms, and when he was about to answer with a smile on his face, a voice invaded the room.

“No. I am his wife!” – Jinhee stated.

We turned to see the beautiful woman who was wearing a beautiful burgundy dress while her hair was tied in a bun, Jason seemed surprised to see her there and that she wasn’t alone, next to her was Jason’s mother who once again looked at me as if she wanted to step on me. I was already feeling like running away from there and the night had barely begun. Jason looked at the older man who looked at him confused while Jason seemed to think of an explanation.

“Well, if that’s your wife then who is this young lady?”

“She’s nobody.” – Jason’s mother affirmed.

Before she could finish the sentence, a voice I already knew invaded the room.

“She’s my fiancee!” – The mysterious man asserted.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The women who clearly had a plan to humiliate me now looked open-mouthed while that handsome man who seemed to have stepped out of a magazine cover came to me, Jason seemed like he was about to lunge at him at any moment and his hatred seemed to increase even more when he stopped by my side offering his arm and saying gently.

“Shall we, darling?”
