Katubari

* At night
He was rugged and untamed. That one steamy night left Grace utterly captivated. She coyly stretched out her dainty, snow-white feet, hooking them around his waist as she softly laid down her terms:
For the first time, no staying overnight.
The second time, the moment he got himself a significant other, she'd vanish from his side.
Later on, their liaison would remain strictly on a physical level.
No strings of money attached, no emotional fetters, just the most primal and unadulterated desires that flared up when night fell, entwining them like a web spun by countless spiders.
And once the moment had passed, she'd straighten her skirt and turn her back on him, cold as ice.
*During daytime
He was the heir to a vast business empire, now impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an air of aristocratic reserve. He extended his hand to her with a polite smile, 
“Hello, Grace.”
Grace gritted her teeth in secret dismay. She hastened to call off whatever was brewing between them, only to find herself cornered against the dressing room by the man, with no way out.
In that cramped space, he was a relentless predator, and she, his irresistible quarry. His firmness pressed against her soft curves, setting every inch ablaze.
Outside the door, her female colleagues were swooning over his chiseled abs.
Just a thin partition away, he locked his arm around her willowy waist, seized her delicate hand, and guided it to rest on his taut abdomen, his voice dripping with a sultry allure, “Thought you could slip away? It's far too late for that.”

Dangerous: Don't cross the line!

As they brushed past each other, John casually threw out a line: "Ms Quinn, men aren't just good for one thing in bed; with me, you can boss me around just like you would in bed."

John made several trips back and forth, quickly moving all of Grace's things downstairs.

Grace hadn't planned on taking all the plants, worried they'd be a hassle, but John packed them up too. On the last trip, he had a pot of roses on his left arm and a painting on his right elbow.

With a canvas bag on her back, Grace held a sunflower-shaped cushion in her arms.

The two walked side by side, moving against the sunlight.

The man under the setting sun was tall with long limbs, and the sunlight blurred their faces, outlining their figures in a way that made them seem oddly well-matched.

Kathy and George were already sitting in the back seat.

You’re afraid you’ll fall for me
