Chapter 1
하오가 처음 수옥주를 만났을 때, 그는 깊이 매료되었다.
그날은 그가 여자친구 신월의 가족을 처음 만나는 자리였다.
하오는 처음에 신월의 가정환경에 대해 완전히 이해하지 못했고, 단지 그녀가 어릴 때 부모님이 사고로 돌아가셔서 이모와 이모부 밑에서 자랐다는 것만 알고 있었다.
화려한 별장 앞에 서서야 비로소 그는 여자친구의 이모부가 대학 교수이고, 그녀의 이모가 빈해시에서 유명한 사업가이자 유주 그룹의 회장이라는 사실을 알게 되었다.
"하오야!"
신월이 하얀 원피스를 입고 달려왔다. 스무 살 정도의 나이에 어깨까지 내려오는 검은 머리를 늘어뜨리고, 165cm의 키에 균형 잡힌 몸매, 하얀 피부를 가진 그녀는 애교 있게 하오의 팔을 붙잡았다. 그녀의 상체가 가까이 닿자 부드러운 감촉에 하오는 살짝 떨렸다.
"왔으면 왜 안 들어가? 이모랑 이모부가 기다리고 계시잖아!"
신월이 그를 이끌어 별장 안으로 들어가자, 40대쯤 되어 보이는 안경을 쓴 중년 남성이 다가와 하오에게 미소 지으며 말했다. "하오 군이지? 어서 와, 앉아!"
하오는 그가 신월의 이모부임을 짐작하고 서둘러 인사했다. "아저씨, 안녕하세요."
신월이 주변을 둘러보며 물었다. "이모는 아직 서재에 계세요? 일 아직 안 끝나셨어요?"
말이 끝나기가 무섭게 위층에서 한 여자가 내려왔고, 하오는 순간 눈이 번쩍 뜨이며 시선이 그녀에게 고정되었다.
그 여자는 관리가 잘 되어 있어서, 40대지만 30대처럼 보였다. 정장 바지를 입고 있었는데, 키는 신월보다 조금 더 커 보였고, 두 다리는 길고 날씬했으며 정장 바지가 그 곧은 다리를 더욱 돋보이게 했다. 가녀린 허리에 위로는 검은색 자켓 안에 흰색 셔츠를 입고 있었다. 풍만한 가슴으로 셔츠의 단추들이 팽팽하게 당겨져 있었고, 그 안의 모습이 어떨지 상상이 되었다.
머리는 느슨하게 올려져 있었고, 온몸에서는 성숙한 여인의 매력이 흘러넘쳤다. 아마도 오랜 기간 고위직에 있어서 생긴 기세 때문인지, 매우 아름다웠지만 사람들이 감히 직시하기 어려운 분위기였다. 정교한 얼굴은 웃음기가 없었고, 사람을 천 리 밖으로 밀어내는 듯한 느낌이었다.
그녀는 하오를 한번 훑어보더니 표정이 조금 누그러졌다. "왔구나, 앉아."
신월은 이때 착한 딸처럼 싱긋 웃으며 말했다. "이모, 일 다 끝내셨어요?"
"거의 끝냈어." 말하며 거실 소파에 앉자, 신월도 옆에 앉아 수옥주와 이야기를 나누기 시작했다.
하오는 조심스럽게 한쪽에 앉아 움직이지 않았다. 이모부가 식사하자고 부를 때까지, 수옥주는 일어나서 하오에게 함께 식탁으로 가자고 권했다.
수옥주는 자녀가 없어서 신월을 친딸처럼 여겼기에, 그녀의 평생 대사에 관심이 많았다. 이모부는 부모님부터 형제자매, 학교와 직장까지 하오의 신상을 샅샅이 물었고, 하오는 마치 심문을 받는 것처럼 모든 것을 답했다.
수옥주는 식사하면서 듣기만 할 뿐 말을 많이 하지 않았다. 하오는 가끔 수옥주의 표정을 살피다가도 자신도 모르게 그녀의 아름다움에 이끌렸다.
식사 후, 신월과 이모부가 과일을 가지러 가자, 하오는 거실에서 수옥주와 함께 있게 되었다.
하오는 긴장한 채로 몸을 바로 세우고 수옥주를 바라보았는데, 그녀가 뉴스를 집중해서 보고 있는 것을 발견했다.
완벽한 옆모습이 살짝 들려 있고, 하얀 피부는 조명 아래서 은은하게 빛났다. 긴 속눈썹이 살짝 떨리고, 붉은 입술이 약간 벌어져 천천히 숨을 내쉬고 있었다.
그리고 아래로 내려가면, 수옥주의 셔츠 칼라 위쪽 단추 두 개가 이미 열려 있었다. 숨을 쉴 때마다 풍만한 가슴이 살짝 오르내리고, 매번 솟아오를 때마다 셔츠의 단추들이 팽팽하게 당겨져 마치 다음 순간 튀어나올 것 같았다. 검은색 속옷의 윤곽이 희미하게 보였다.

"Yes,"

"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
