Winter Rabbit in Wonderland

Chapter 55

Heart licked at her lips and bit lightly on her neck and sucked on it. Every time he did this, she couldn’t stop her body from flinching and so, buried her face in his hair. His hair touched her cheek, and she was hit with his vetiver scent. Both sensations were cool, but her cheeks grew hotter.

Soon his lips had passed down her neck toward her chest. As the sensation she felt grew stronger, she wrapped her arms around Heart’s neck to block his lips from touching her any further.

She didn’t realize how silly she would have looked clinging to him like this, and Heart chuckled. At the soft sound of laughter, she relaxed. His hot breath tickled her skin. Everything aroused her senses.

“Do you think that can stop me?”

With a voice mixed with laughter, he wrapped his hands around her waist. His hands were much hotter than the rest of her body. One hand slid up and down her back while the other grabbed tightly around her waist. He raised her knees as his other hand slid down her side and swept toward her inner thigh.

“Wait, where do you...?”

As SoYoon jumped, Heart hurriedly blocked her mouth with a kiss.

He took the moment of surprise as a chance, and his finger slowly started to move. She moaned. He heard her become more and more breathless, and he laughed ecstatically. SoYoon heard him through their locked lips and glared at him. He removed his lips from hers, then licked her wet mouth and laughed again.

“What—what is—why are you laughing...Stop it!”

“You’re so cute.”

“What, I would never...ah...!”

SoYoon gasped at the sensation and pressed her head into his shoulder. But the pressure did not disappear. She lifted her head and clung to him. Soon, her body jumped as if she had been electrocuted.

“Oh, is it here?” Heart asked in a joyous tone.

The heat that emanated down to her toes made her anxious, but Heart acted so calm about everything that it slightly annoyed her. She again pressed her forehead hard into his shoulder. But she must have said her thoughts out loud. He muttered in disbelief.

“Calm? Me?”

He removed his hands from her waist and swept away her hair from her face. When he removed the sweat-soaked hair from her face, he could see her reddened face.

He licked her lips then grabbed her wrist and pulled it downward.

“Even with this?”

She felt something with her hands that was hotter than her body, which felt like it was on fire, something even hotter than the finger that was playing inside her. SoYoon didn’t have the guts to look down, and she bit her lip. He kissed those lips lightly and looked at her with squinting eyes.

“Hm? Even with this?”

Instead of answering, SoYoon removed her hands from his and again buried her face into his shoulder. Knowing that she had aroused him, and yet that he was holding back, made her feel even weirder.

Is this what this should feel like? No, I think I remember that it had been like this. She remembered something from her past life a long time ago. It was not a simple act but the act of making love. Back then, it had been her first time, and when she had cried, that man that she couldn’t even remember now had been taken aback.

“Then what is this?” he whispered in SoYoon’s ear. “Look at me.”

He removed his fingers.

“I’m going to do it.”

He said those words then lifted her. Due to the action, her face fell away from his shoulders and came face-to-face with Heart’s lust-filled eyes.

His face got progressively closer, and something else pushed its way through into the place where his finger had been. Heart moaned. His pupils were glazed over as if he had lost his mind.

SoYoon, too, became lost in the moment, and her senses were swallowed up by him.

***

Was it raining? As she woke from a deep sleep, the first of SoYoon’s senses to stir was smell, which made her assume this. Her senses of hearing and sight came alive afterward.

Her surroundings were quiet and dark. As her sense of touch awoke, she realized that a smooth-skinned, strongly built body was wrapped around her. It was a familiar warmth, and so she opened her eyes.

What she had assumed was the smell of rain was the dewy, woodsy scent of vetiver. This place, which was filled with his scent, was the room she had visited the most in his house other than his office.

Because she could still not see the sunlight filtering through the thick curtains, she figured that the sun had not set yet.

When he felt SoYoon’s slight movements, Heart woke up and chuckled softly. It was a noise similar to the euphoric sounds of last night.

He pulled SoYoon in close and inhaled deeply. She was unable to decipher whether the sound he made was human or animal, but he growled happily. SoYoon wondered where to put her hands then decided to rest them on his hand. Electricity shot through her hands, but she ignored it and pushed him away.

“Move.”

“Why?”

They had reached a point where Heart would no longer move just because she told him to. He pressed up against her with his whole body. Like a still hungry predator, he stared down at the only prey in front of him.

Her lips were blocked off, and so was her resistance. She couldn’t think to stop him. Her breath was swept away as Heart told SoYoon, “Kiss me.”

The space between them was a mere centimeter. Simply turning her head would have closed that gap.

He didn’t budge and lifted her chin. Her wet lips soon locked with his, and the electricity she had felt in her hand previously spread from her lips to the rest of her body. She knew what this feeling entailed.

Intertwined and breathing hard, their bodies embraced as they melted into each other. Heart pressed her deep into quicksand, using all sorts of methods. Quicksand: that’s what it felt like to SoYoon. If she made one wrong step, there would be no way out. It was a heavy and unyielding feeling.

“Concentrate,” Heart growled as he pushed her down into the bottom of this quicksand. No, they were both drowning in it.

Only after the day had ended did Heart let her go with a content expression. He responded, “Go ahead,” to her statement that she would like to wash up and pointed to the bathroom.

When she got off the bed, SoYoon could understand why his eyes glimmered in that victorious way. All strength drained from her legs, and she flopped onto the floor. Heart laughed as he saw this.

“I know how much stamina you have, but this is something different, isn’t it? Oh, yes. If you don’t get up quickly, you will leave a mark on the carpet.

“Not that I care,” he added as he watched her get up and lean against the edge of the bed. Luckily she didn’t leave a mark, but the liquid that trickled down her thigh did not feel that great.

“Should I help you?” Heart asked as he swept across her back with his finger.

She pushed his finger away, and he laughed heartily. He pulled out the dirty sheets and wrapped her body with them. He then lifted her like a child and headed to the bathroom.

Unlike the office bathroom, which had only a shower, the bathroom attached to the bedroom had a huge bathtub in it. He turned on the water and filled the tub. Still carrying SoYoon, he went to the other side into the shower. He placed SoYoon down next to it and made her lean on him as he removed the sheets.

Warm water came down from the showerhead. When he put body cleanser on a shower ball and created suds, the entire bathroom filled with the scent of vetiver. She reached out for the shower ball, but Heart moved it far from her reach.

“If you don’t stay still, it will only prolong the time to wash up...If that’s all right, should we keep going?” Heart said, smiling with his eyes. She put her hand down, knowing what the extension in time would entail.

He washed SoYoon and himself, then lifted her and headed to the tub. He didn’t pay attention to her insistence that there was no need since she had already showered.

When her body sank into the warm bath, she felt relaxed and drowsy.

“You can sleep,” Heart whispered from behind her back as he poked at the area around her patch.

She woke up, realizing she had nodded off to sleep. When she got up, Heart grabbed her arm and returned her to her previous position. He kissed her head and got up from the tub.

Drowsily, she said without much thought, “You look accustomed to this.”

“This is only my second time. Should I take it as a compliment?”

“Second time?”

“Who do you think washed and dressed you, then brought you into this room last time?”

Heart’s hand slid down her cheeks, then down to her neck, shoulders, and arms. Every place he touched felt hot and tickled and tingled throughout her body. He stopped momentarily at her elbow, sighed as if disappointed, then hugged her waist.

When the two of them came out of the bathroom, the sheets and blankets on the bed were changed. There were no women workers at Heart’s house. She wondered if it was a good or bad thing to realize that she still had some humanity left in her to be embarrassed by this kind of thing.

He wrapped SoYoon tightly in a shower gown and dried her hair. On the other hand, he dried himself off hastily and lay down on the bed. Seeing the water dripping onto the sheets, SoYoon grabbed the towel from his hand and roughly dried his hair.

“It hurts, Whitey.”

“Shut up.”

Heart laughed from under the towel.

“Why are you laughing?” she asked, pressing hard on his head. He flung the towel away from her, hugged her waist, and fell onto the bed.

“I told you before. You are acting too cute.”

“...Are you a fool?”

SoYoon turned away from him. As she did, Heart wrapped her in the blanket and clung tightly to her back. His arms wrapped gently around her body and squeezed warmly.

It had been more comfortable when he treated her like a toy because she could enjoy the warmth without feeling any sense of obligation.

“It might be too late now,” someone inside her whispered.
