Hehe~
"Hehe~"
Soft jazz music drifted through the living room. On gold-rimmed fine china plates gleamed glossy pork hocks and seasoned fried chicken, their juices glistening temptingly. The crystal champagne flutes weren't bubbling with Dom Pérignon but zero cola—yet the atmosphere rivaled any Michelin three-star restaurant.
"Ah, say ahh, Abhos."
I picked up a tender piece of pork hock with my gloved hands and brought it to her lips.
"You must've been so busy today. Manager Jang was raving about it."
"Mm, nom... It was nothing. Just tidying up some loose ends."
Abhos elegantly accepted the meat I offered and flashed a grin. She lounged in nothing but a wine-red slip, utterly relaxed. By day, she was the empress commanding a vast enterprise; right now, before me, she was just an ordinary(?) big sis enjoying late-night snacks after work.
"The staff were dragging their feet too much. It was faster for me to handle it myself."
"Come on, don't push yourself too hard. It'd break my heart if you got hurt."
"Oh? Worried about me? The great Abhos of the world?"
She chuckled, propping her chin on her hand. Playful eyes, brimming with affection.
"Yeah, yeah, I know you're invincible, Abhos. But to me... you're just someone precious."
I grumbled and sipped my cola. Her gaze softened at my words. Reaching across the table, she wiped the red sauce from my lips with her thumb.
"Eating like a messy kid."
Abhos licked the sauce off her thumb. The gesture was so natural and decadent that my face flushed hot.
"S-so anyway! Something funny happened at home today!"
I hurriedly changed the subject to hide my embarrassment.
"Kkkomul was watching a movie and got spoiled, so it got all pouty and covered the TV with its tail? It was wriggling and huffing— I nearly died laughing."
"Hehe, is that so? That one's got quite the temper."
"So I gave it two sausages to cheer it up. Wonder who it takes after with that gluttony."
I waved a chicken leg excitedly as I chattered on. In my shower robe, legs swinging, spilling every little detail of my day—I looked just like a housewife waiting for her husband to get home and gossiping away. Abhos didn't seem bored at all, resting her chin and gazing intently.
"So cute."
"Huh?"
"You, thinking of me all day. It makes my eyes light up."
"Ugh... don't tease."
"Not teasing. I'm proud."
She rose from her seat. The hem of her wine-red slip swayed. Coming to my side, she naturally embraced me from behind.
"Thanks to you, all my fatigue's melting away."
Her voluptuous warmth and body heat pressed against my back. The faint sea scent and luxurious perfume from her tickled my nose. I stopped talking and laid my hand over hers.
Outside the window, Seoul's dazzling nightscape sparkled like jewels, and behind me was the absolute being who protected me. Could there be a more perfect evening?
"Hmm..."
She nuzzled my nape and inhaled deeply.
"Conquering the world is fine... but being with you like this is the best."
"M-me too..."
I turned to meet her eyes. Sweet atmosphere. But amid the happiness, a thorn of anxiety pricked my heart.
"Um... Abhos."
"Yes?"
"Everything's great. Being adored like this, eating delicious food and lounging every day—it's amazing..."
I spoke cautiously, my voice a little hoarse, baring my inner thoughts.
"But... I want to do something."
"Hm? Need something more?"
She turned me around and gently lifted my chin.
"Just say if you want anything. Jewels? Watches? Or... well, you were originally a guy, so gadgets? I saw online men go crazy for graphics cards."
"No... not that..."
A graphics card did tempt me a bit, but I shook my head. It wasn't material things.
"I want to... help you, Abhos."
"Help?"
"Yeah. Just lounging at home, being protected... it feels off. Wandering around half-naked all day is weird too... and what if..."
I lowered my eyes.
"What if I become useless... and you get tired of me?"
"..."
Silence. Anxious, I darted my eyes, then my vision darkened.
"Mmph...!"
Hot lips devoured mine. No words—just action. Abhos's tongue thrust roughly, entwining with mine in a deep, possessive kiss that left no room to breathe.
"Smack... haah..."
Only after a long while did our lips part. Mine tingled. Her red lipstick smeared around my mouth.
"Silly nonsense."
She whispered in a beastly growl.
"How could I ever tire? You're my bride."
"A-Abhos..."
"Words aren't enough, I see. Guess I'll have to show you with my body."
Her hand undid my robe ties. It slipped off, pooling on the floor, baring my pale nakedness.
"Eek...!"
Abhos pushed me onto the sofa. My vision spun; cool leather met my back, then her searing body heat covered me. A jolt shot between my legs. Embarrassed and anticipating, I twisted them together.
"See, Min-woo. You react so cutely—how could I ever tire of you?"
Her finger pressed my nipple firmly. Tentacles sprouted from her back, coiling around my limbs—gentle, comfortable restraint.
"Kiruk! Kyu!"
Kkkomul, who had been gnawing pork and chicken bones behind my butt, bounced out excitedly. One of Abhos's tentacles snatched it, and they tangled, exchanging sticky mucus.
"Ah, ngh...! K-Kkkomul! You too...!"
Double stimulation. My brain melted. Abhos straddled me, aligning her dripping core with mine.
"Come in, Min-woo."
"Ugh... nngh...!"
She lowered her hips slowly. Hot, slick mucosa swallowed my tip.
Squelch—
We became one. Her inside was hot, tight, and voracious. Hundreds—no, thousands—of tiny muscles gripped and sucked me deeper. Literally devouring me with greedy fervor.
"Haa, haa! Abhos... too, too... ahn!"
"Yes, Min-woo, cry more for me."
"Ahn...! Ahh, hyaaang!"
I clung to her waist, whimpering like a girl with nasal whines. Male pride? Long gone, melted away. Each thrust, each call of my name sent shivers—I could only cling to her.
"So lovable, Min-woo."
Her lips claimed mine. Fierce coupling below, sweet kiss above. In my dissolving mind, I hugged her neck tight.
......
After the storm, we'd moved to the bedroom, lying together. City lights filtered softly through the window. Pillowed on Abhos's arm, I tickled her cleavage with my fingers.
"Um... Abhos."
"Yes?"
"Y-you're preparing some business lately, right? With Manager Jang."
I tried again, undeterred.
"Isn't there anything I can help with? I'm bored stuck at home... Kkkomul stares out the window all day, like it wants to see the world too."
I gazed up with my best pitiful, cute puppy eyes—my ultimate weapon. Kkkomul, sensing my intent, lifted its head and whimpered, "Kyuuu..." pathetically.
"Hmm..."
But Abhos's face darkened, unlike her usual doting. She frowned slightly, stroking my hair.
"No. It's dangerous."
"Huh? B-but..."
"Forgot what happened last time?"
Her hand stilled. In that proud, strong voice, I caught the fear only I knew.
"When I let you go alone... what they did to you. How they tormented you."
"..."
I shut my mouth. Right. Abhos hadn't bought me proper clothes, kept me indoors—not just to see me naked. She feared I'd face danger again. Binding my feet to keep me in this safe nest.
A form of... loving imprisonment.
"I never want to lose you again. Vanishing where my eyes can't reach... just thinking it..."
She hugged me tight. Her raw emotion soured my chest. But that's why I wanted to stand by her side even more.
"That's why."
I lifted my head from her embrace, staring straight into those golden eyes.
"Take me with you. By your side..."
"Min-woo..."
"Being home alone makes me more anxious. Stuck right next to you—that's the safest, right? Secretary, porter, anything. Just... let me stay by your side."
My heartfelt plea. She peered into my eyes for a long moment. Wavering gaze. Worry, possessiveness. And... affection for me, all tangled.
"Haa..."
Finally, Abhos sighed deeply and chuckled.
"Can't resist those puppy eyes."
"R-really...?"
"Hmph, getting prettier is good, but using that beauty to bewitch me... you're a real vixen. The office is full of dull men anyway—atmosphere's been blah."
"Um... I am technically still a guy..."
My timid objection was brushed off.
"I'll take you along. Give you work too."
"Really?! Yay!! I love you!"
I beamed and snuggled into her arms. Finally! Time to earn my keep! Cool secretary? Bodyguard? Whatever—as long as I could work stylishly by Abhos's side!
"But."
Her eyes curved slyly.
"One condition."
"Condition? What? I'll do anything! Cleaning? Organizing? Oh, I'm good at Word and Excel. I was an admin soldier in the army!"
I shouted confidently. My first job in nearly a month—my body itched with eagerness!
"Don't rush. Preparation first, no?"
"Preparation?"
"Yes. Rise early tomorrow morning."
She tapped my nose.
"We're going somewhere."
"Wh-where?"
"Save it for tomorrow's fun. Now sleep."
She kissed my forehead and slipped back under the covers. I stared blankly at her profile.
Where to? Excitement mixed with a twinge of unease... Well, tomorrow would tell.
