Kissing Suzy like this had always put Jackson's self-control to a test. It was hard for him to think of anything at the moment, as his every thought was filled with her and only her. A full body tremble moved through him as Suzy moved closer against him, her soft chest pressing against his.

Jackson pulled away and sucked in a deep breath. His face was red as he held Suzy's shoulder to keep her away from him. He didn't quite trust himself at that moment.

"Too much?" Suzy asked with a slight smile as she cupped his face.

"Yes… Just give me a moment to calm down." He admitted.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable."

Suzy lowered her hand and sat up straight next to him, looking disappointed, but her body wired with need. She wanted to kiss him more and so much more, but it was obvious that he couldn't make up his mind.

It wasn't the first time something like this had happened. She wondered if she wasn't attracted enough to him, or if it was him who was trying to force himself to allow himself to be touched by her.

If she didn't know him any better, Suzy would think that he wasn't sexually attracted to her at all. It wasn't like he wasn't interested or doesn't reciprocate her feelings, if anything he looked torn and was struggling not to pounce on her and kiss her with all his might. He would always back away like this, leaving her aching and frustrated at the same time.

But she understood that all of these were new to Jackson. He once admitted that she was the only woman who was able to get close to him and was sure that he didn't receive much love and attention from others.

Despite being together now, Jackson was still anxious at times. Suzy knew that he still thought that he was a hideous person and didn't deserve to receive anything from her. It was something that had affected his whole life and the reason he kept everyone at arm's length, leaving him lonelier than ever.

"You seem uneasy. Is there something wrong?"

"No. It's not you… it's me that couldn't take any more of this." Jackson said with a self deprecating tone.

He shook his head, willing the indecent thoughts out of his mind, but he didn't know if Jackson knew how it felt to be cast away, to make people churn with the look on his face.

He still wasn't sure what made Suzy like someone like him. Didn't Min Ah just call him a phantom? Surely if Min Ah could see how horrendous his face was, Suzy was more than aware of it too.

"You what? Don't you like touching me? Kissing me?"

Suzy knew that she was playing dirty, but she couldn't help seeing him blush. She also didn't miss how he ached to touch her when he thought that she wasn't paying attention. Was he afraid that she would reject him if he did?

"We can take it slow. I don't mind waiting a little longer." She forced a smile although her whole body was aching for him to fill her, take her until she couldn't think of anything else but him.

"I… I don't know how to please a woman."

There, he said it. Jackson grimaced and looked away in shame.

Suzy blinked at that and turned to face him. She didn't expect him to be this honest with her. Well, she had boyfriends before him and dated during her college days. It never occurred to her that she would date a man like Jackson.

But something about his admission made her cheeks burn with a blush. She had never been with a man who was as vocal with need for her as Jackson was.

"You want to please me?"
