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!

Grace admitted to herself that she was being a bit greedy. Though there was no love between them, she couldn't deny her growing addiction to his strong, impressive physique.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke in a low, husky voice, "Are you sure you want to do this here?"

The car was parked by the roadside, with vehicles passing by and the occasional honk breaking the silence.

It was a place of secrecy and forbidden desire.

Grace, however, was too shy to go further. She pouted, her voice soft and complaining. "No."

A faint smile tugged at John's lips as he reached out to ruffle her hair. "All bark and no bite."

Who could have guessed that things between her and John would turn out like this?

It had started as a whim on her part, but now she was the one clinging to him, unable to let go.

And yet, like a rogue, she wanted to enjoy him without any commitment. The moment he brought up responsibility, she'd panic.

I'm hungry
