Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (Monsta X Fanfiction)

Chapter Fifty Three: Lure

:The car ride home was silent, like usual. But there was a new tension. Wonho was agitated, gripping the steering wheel tightly as he drove. For the most part, I pretended like I didn't notice; staring outside the car window at the scenery. I considered turning up the radio to ease the tension, but he spoke before I had the chance.

"Why did you kiss me earlier?" Wonho asked.

"Oh, that," I said, chuckling dryly, "I just wanted to..." My sentences trailed off, because I wasn't confident in this lie. I hoped he believed me, though.

"Really?" He pressed, brow quirked, "It had nothing to do with Shownu showing up?"

I swallowed, my nervousness increasing because I knew he wasn't buying it, "Nope. I didn't even see him."

I wondered how to change the subject.

"So you sincerely want to kiss?" Wonho continued, "That's going to be a normal thing for us now?"

I hesitated before responding, "Yeah..."

As I looked back out the window, I noticed the building and people started passing quicker and quicker. Wonho's foot pressed more and more on the gas, piquing my worry.

"Where are we going?"

Wonho didn't respond. Instead, he pulled into the empty parking lot of a nearby beach. We remained seated in the car silently. I looked back and forth from Wonho and the beach, waiting for him to do anything.

"What are we doing here?" I finally asked. Wonho turned to look at me mysteriously, remaining unresponsive. He finally opened the car door and stepping out.

"The hell?" I grumbled. It was annoying that he decided to play games when he could just get to the point. I unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car.

Wonho leaned against the bumper of the car, staring out at the beach. I followed his gaze, admiring the waves as they crashed on the shore. A flock of seagulls were fighting over the remnants of a sandwich. I started to get invested, making internal bets about which bird would win.

"Since you like kissing me," Wonho muttered, I looked back at him, "Why don't we do it again now?"

"Huh?" My was throat suddenly dry.

Wonho stood up, reminding me once again how tall and beefy he was. It occurred to me that he could do whatever he wanted to me. But he was often so restrained. When he was advancing on me, he suddenly became much more intimidating.

He grabbed me by my shoulders and leaned me against the hood of the car, pressing his lips against mine. I tried to pull away and object, anyone could pass by and see the two of us. I didn't want to be indecent in front of everyone. Wonho ignored my obvious unease. His lips moved fervently against mine, I couldn't keep up.

I didn't want to admit that I was lying, or that I was trying to make Shownu jealous. So I tried to play along.

Things just continued to escalate.

I managed to pull away for a moment and squeak, "What if someone sees us?"

"That didn't bother you earlier," he breathed, placing a hand on my neck to guide my lips back to his. His other hand snaked around my back and pressed me close to him.

I was on edge. Not just because this kiss was insane, but also because I didn't want anyone to stumble upon this.

When Wonho forced his tongue into my mouth, I pushed him away forcefully.

"Stop!" I yelled, breathing heavily.

At last, he pulled away.

His head hung a little, "See?" Wonho muttered, " You're a terrible liar..."
