The Assistant -LeeKnow

Chapter 15

Naeun woke-up blazing – every part of her body too warm. And it was all too apparent why. The half-birthday boy himself was wrapped tightly around her like vines. His head was resting on the middle of her chest. His arms like vice grips around her waist. Even his legs were intertwined with hers. It wasn't something she was used to and it kind of flustered her to be that close to another human being – especially someone like Lee know who seemed to not have a compassionate bone in his body.

He smelled wonderful though and just the feel of his naked body against her own made her stomach turn – in a good way... or bad, depending how you looked at it. Naeun shut her eyes tightly, trying to push away the pleasing thoughts of him – because she knew this boy was not worthy of those kinds of thoughts. It troubled her more than a little to know she was finding solace in his arms.

It took her a few unsettling moments to worm her way out of his tight grasp, dispelling his body heat with him. She found relief in the coolness of the sheets underneath her as she moved away from him. He stirred slightly, but didn't wake, gripping tightly to the pillow he should have been sleeping on in the first place.

Naeun sat up in the bed looking down at him, wondering to herself why he couldn't just be a normal person – why he couldn't be respectful and dashing and not a complete and utter jerk to everyone. Their situation would be so much easier if she could just trust him. Was that too much to ask? Couldn't this boy have the good looks and the amazing personality?

His breathing was even, his lips perfectly pouted – lips she'd kissed so many times, lips that traveled the length of her body on many occasions. His long eyelashes fell perfectly against the tops of his cheeks as his eyes darted quickly back and forth in his deep REM sleep. His hair was a ruffled mess atop his head. Perfect sex hair. He was just so beautiful. It wasn't fair.

Naeun's stomach felt nauseated with the thoughts of him running through her head. She hated him. Why was she suddenly feeling hopeful about him? Why should she even give him the time of day? She knew the answer easily though. Because she wanted to.

He was exciting and fun and always kept her guessing. Sure, he annoyed the shit out of her most days with his daily attempt at fucking up her life with his stupid arrogant eyes, his self-righteous attitude and that sneaky smile. He was the bane of her existence. But there was something about him that was just so intriguing. She never had a hope of staying away from him – contracts and significant others be damned.

Naeun scoffed loudly to herself and rolled her eyes, hating herself even more for being so weak.

He wasn't supposed to be in her bed. He wasn't supposed to have a key to her hotel room. He wasn't supposed to sneak in and seduce her on his stupid half birthday. Who celebrated half birthday's anyway? Lee know wasn't supposed to do a lot of things. But he always did them. He was a true rebel and a part of her hated him for that, while the rest of her relished in being the object of his affection – even if it was only for sex.

"Naeun," she heard him say and looked down at him quickly.

Lee know's eyes were closed and he had a wide smile on his lips. For a second she thought he was dreaming about her – which sent a wave of anxiety throughout her body. But he opened his eyes, still beaming that smile at her and the ache in her stomach grew tenfold. Damn that stupid boy for making her feel.

"You shouldn't be in here," Naeun snapped at him immediately, trying to flush out every pleasant thought she just had of him.

"It's my half birthday. I can be wherever I want," he said matter-of-factly, still hugging tightly to the fluffy white pillow under his head.

"I think your keepers would beg to differ," Naeun scoffed, throwing the covers off of her naked body, making an attempt to flee away from him.

"Uh-uh. Not so fast," Lee know said, wrapping his arm quickly around her waist, pulling her back to him.
