Temptation || Jumin Han

02| Alone At Last

Why did he have to be so handsome?

And smart?

And rich?

And... Her boss.

The proximity made Eva feel weak. His suit brushed against her shoulder, and the smell of his cologne filled the car. "Where to Mr. Han?" The driver asked without glancing back at the pair.

"Home, Mr. Kim." He nodded, not taking his eyes off the young woman. Lust glimmered in them as he pressed his lips softly against her forehead.

Mr. Kim raised his eyebrows in surprise, but started the car up and proceeded to drive towards the flat without another word.

"You know—" Jumin started, but was stopped by his obnoxious ringtone. He glanced at the caller ID and sighed. "I apologize, but I must take this." He cleared his throat.

Eva sat restlessly next to Jumin, his hand barely touching her thigh, but the proximity sent her emotions into a frenzy. Mr. Kim knew her, she could not imagine what he was thinking!

Did they really kiss earlier? And did he just press the softest, most loving, and gentleman-like kiss on her forehead?

She wasn't that drunk.

Eva clutched her purse tighter to her chest, and tightened her knees together. A deep blush grazed her cheeks as she admired his sharp jawline.

She couldn't even hear what he was saying, it was almost inaudible as she lost herself in his features. He was so tempting and gorgeous, no wonder she was always dealing with stray women trying to break into the office and ask for his hand in marriage. Yeah, that really happened. Quite frequently.

What impressed Eva the most was that he wanted nothing to do with them, but he also had grace while doing so. He was so mysterious, the face of Korea's most successful businessman. It should be an honor right?

Why was she so nervous? She'd known him for a while now.. perhaps she really did want something more.

Jumin noticed her piercing gaze and smirked at her, but soon turned his focus back on the phone call.

Eva looked away in embarrassment, deciding to stare out the window. She watched the city lights pass by, the tempo set by the regular lampposts calmed her beating heart. And soon her anxieties and doubts faded away.

But she never let her guard down. She wouldn't have a one night stand with her boss. Especially from the state she was in.

Mr. Kim drove assertively and smoothly, he watched the road, from time to time looking in his side mirrors, though his eyes never darted back to his passengers.

Still on call, and almost nonchalantly, Jumin's hand moved onto her bare leg, snaking under her skirt, just high enough to be invisible to the driver.

Eva held in her gasp, the warmth of his large hand sent chills down her spine. How could she control herself around him? She had already tried since the day she met him, and it was hell.

"Yes, please send them to me before tomorrow and I'll get back to you within the next week. Thank you for your time." He paused. "Of course. Goodnight Mr. Chen."
