"Ah! Beb... faster, please!"


Ken moved his lips even faster, exploring the slender neck of a woman he knew to be Celine. Even in a nightclub like that, Celine might not be her real name. Most of the night butterflies disguised their real names as a form of identity hiding and privacy.

But Ken didn't care at all.

A warm glow ran through the man's body. It had been five minutes since Ken had stripped off all his clothes on the floor. The hot kiss was a bit of a rushed opening, the man just wanted to resolve the curious desire that was nagging at him. Harry's challenge was a bit silly, but who would have thought that imagining Gabriella with another man would make his emotions go up and down?


The bodies attached did not make the two of them close. Ken kissed Celine's ear as something down there worked to its fullest. The man stiffened at the sight of Celine's naked body, but the curiosity was only for Gabriella who was in the head. Deep inside, hidden among the pleasant memories of the past few minutes.

"Baby, ah! Keep going, baby!"


Instead of being satisfied with the long moans of the woman now beneath him, Ken was disgusted. He sighed roughly before finally removing his body from Celine. Making the limp-looking woman on the bed look at him in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Ken massaged his temples lightly as something throbbed in his head. But the man realized that the cause was not the few sips of alcohol he had taken, but something else.

"I have to go," Ken said simply.

"But, why?" Celine braced herself to sit up, then looked up to see Ken who was already impatiently standing in front of her. Celine's blue eyes looked Ken's naked body up and down, before finally resuming the curiosity that filled her chest. "You haven't even done anything yet, junior is still standing upright like that. Why don't you just finish it?"

The insistent tone that rang in Ken's ears only made his disgust grow. The man then turned around and picked up his clothes that were originally lying on the white floor. One by one, he put his shirt and shirt back on, covering all the parts of his body that looked manly with muscles adorning them.

"Where are you actually going?" Celine's hand, which suddenly held Ken's arm, irritated the man. He quickly brushed it off and turned around. The icy gaze he shot at Celine made her nervous. But Celine seemed to be trying to cover it up, when Ken finally caught his breath there. "You said we were going to have fun, but why is it like this?"

"Didn't you have fun earlier? You went out, didn't you?"

Celine covered her mouth in surprise. While holding back her already teary eyes, she pulled Ken's hand and pleaded. "Don't leave me, it's my first time meeting a guy as handsome as you. I'm sure you're a good guy too, you wouldn't leave me like this, right?"

Ken was silent for a moment, before finally removing Celine's hand from his body with his other hand. The man looked straight into Celine's eyes that were wearing softlens. He grinned, then said, "No good guy goes to a club and sleeps with a girl he doesn't know." then Ken's body returned to its original position, he sighed again, then said, "How much do you want to pay? Just name the amount."

Plak!

Ken's body froze as a slap landed on his left cheek. A mixture of heat and pain began to rise to the surface. Before Ken could digest what had just happened, Celine had already pulled his clothes off the floor and put them on while exclaiming, "You're going to regret playing a girl like this! Do you know what's going to happen to you someday?" The woman moved her body forward, then looked at Ken who was still crouched in place with an angry gaze. "Karma. You'll get karma soon and feel how painful it is to be treated like this by other people."

Celine passed by Ken's body without waiting for him to say anything. The door behind the man slammed loudly, along with the body of his date who had already passed.

The heat from the slapped cheek had already faded, more or less dissipated with the feeling of fear that alternately arose inside his chest. For the first time, Ken felt strange about himself.

Since when did that man care about a woman's feelings?

Weren't women just like dolls and toys to him?

Could the karma that woman said was Gabriella?

Could it be... Is Ken really in love with Gabriella?

Ken pulled the seat belt on the edge of the seat firmly, before fastening it and making his body bound. The man held the steering wheel and drew in as much oxygen as possible. The scenery outside the window was indeed deserted, it would be easy for him to drive the car out of the basement of the club at this hour. But instead he chose to stay put while thinking about the possibility of what feelings were actually hidden in his own heart.

The bet Harry had made could have easily been settled. Either by forcibly fucking Gabriella or paying Harry his two million failure. But somehow, Ken felt that neither of them gave him any satisfaction. There was one hope tucked inside him, but the man was reluctant to admit it.

He tried to reject it with difficulty.

Ken's black car finally left the parking lot, heading towards the streets that were more crowded than before. The time on Ken's watch pointed to two, but New York City was still not as lonely as the villages. There were still many vehicles passing by at this hour, as if they didn't care about their health and sleep.

There wasn't enough alcohol left in Ken's body to make him drunk. As he recalled, the man had only gulped down two shot bottles of wine without completely losing consciousness. Even after getting intimate with Celine, he could not get rid of the dizziness that was creeping into his head.

"Shit!"

Kriet!

The brakes were suddenly applied. Making Ken bounce forward slightly, before returning to his original sitting position. The man hit the steering wheel after managing to pull over suddenly.

Ken rolled down the window, letting the cold air of two in the morning greet his exposed skin. The shirt he had worn since morning didn't make him feel warm at all. He could still feel the cold breeze. But in fact, Ken enjoyed those moments. The calmness came from Ken's mind that began to calm down.

Although it was still very difficult to get Gabriella's face out of his head.

His curiosity about Gabriella's body was too great, but Ken had never felt this enthusiastic before. Even when Ken found a more beautiful woman, something inside was still reluctant to turn away from Gabriella. What was Ken really feeling right now? Could it be that he really wants Gabriella for something further than just a bedmate?
