Chapter 51 (1/2)

He reflexively responded to the kiss before he pressed Vivian’s cheeks and forcibly pulled his lips away from hers, “What are you doing?”

“Kiss?”

No matter how he had warned her with his eyes, Vivian had started to act rather impulsively just as Aidan acted as he wished. He tilted his head in confusion with a manner unlike his usual attitude and asked as though he was sincerely curious, “Is there anything that you are afraid of?”

“What? No. I’m afraid of things too. It’s just that…….”

“That?”

“Lust overpowers fear.”

“…….”

It was a gaze that seemed as though he didn’t expect it to be such an extent that Vivian was forced to awkwardly laugh and add, “Including my passion for studying.”

His lips pulled upwards without a word and pinched her cheeks.

Yes, I’m finally dating as well!

Vivian who’d arrived at the publishing company that morning burst open the doors of the boss’s office. She was ready to boast in front of Thatcher, who had continuously taunted that she had never even grabbed a man’s hand before.

Though it seemed closer to a contractual relationship than real lovers, did it matter as long as she could feel what it was like to date?!? It was merely all part of an author’s effort to create the best masterpiece possible.

However, before Vivian could part her lips to speak, they pressed together once more. It was because Thatcher, who had become one with the sofa, sat up naked.

Not to mention, there was a golden-haired woman she’d seen for the first time in her life who hung onto his chest like an octopus’ tentacles. Had it been anyone else who’d witnessed this scene, they would have frowned in disapproval, walked away, or sneaked glances with a blush, but it was Vivian.

This is part of foreplay before sex…….

She closed the door behind her as quietly as possible as she entered and took out her notebook. The half-asleep Thatcher looked at her with half-opened eyes and said in a rough voice as though he was nearly struck speechless.
