Chapter 2 Sorry to You
Adeline was nearly oxygen-deprived from Ronald's kiss when he finally released her.
He chuckled softly. "Never kissed before?"
The woman beneath him was practically on the verge of passing out. Adeline had no idea how to breathe while kissing!
To maintain their platonic relationship, holding hands and hugging were already the limits with Allen.
On the two occasions they had kissed, Allen had almost gotten carried away, so Adeline had avoided casual kissing since, let alone developing any technique.
Though she thought this man's kissing skills weren't anything special either, he was more experienced than her.
"Who says I can't?" Adeline's competitive streak suddenly flared up. She grabbed Ronald's tie and pushed him down onto the couch.
She straddled him, angrily nipping at his lips like she had something to prove.
As she kissed him, she recalled Elisa's kissing lessons.
Use your tongue, coordinate with your hands, and press your body against his.
Going through these motions, Ronald felt an unbearable heat spreading through his body, his lower half throbbing painfully.
Especially enchanting were Adeline's bedroom eyes, now glazed with a layer of mist during their kiss, making it impossible not to fall under her spell.
She kissed him eagerly, clumsily yanking off his tie, then his shirt, and finally his belt.
When she saw his manhood, her hand suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Ronald's voice came out husky as he thrust upward, expressing his impatience.
"Condom, we need a condom!" Adeline's face flushed crimson as she turned to find the protection.
Despite being tipsy, her common sense remained intact on this matter.
By the time she found the condom, Ronald had stripped himself completely naked. Adeline turned around and came face-to-face with his impressive arousal.
She unconsciously swallowed, suddenly remembering Elisa's words, "No matter how mind-blowing your first time is, you'll still be too sore to walk for three days afterward."
While she was lost in thought, Ronald had already taken the condom from her hand.
He glanced at the size on the package and tossed it directly into the trash. "Too small."
"What?"
Before Adeline could process this, Ronald had already lifted her up, his large hands continuously caressing her thighs and buttocks while his lips captured the bud of her breast.
Adeline let out a moan, feeling both timid and trembling.
Suddenly Ronald's soft laughter reached her ears. "Scared?"
"As if!" Adeline snorted, immediately taking control and pinning Ronald firmly against the couch...
The next morning, Adeline was awakened by sunlight streaming through the window.
She vaguely remembered Ronald's handsome face, his perfect abs, and his relentless movements. Unprecedented pleasure had swept through her entire body, mixed with flashes of pain.
Thinking she might have had an erotic dream, Adeline sighed before opening her eyes.
"You!" Seeing Ronald lying beside her, she quickly wrapped herself in the sheet, almost falling when pain shot through her lower body.
"Careful!" Ronald reached out to catch her, but Adeline hastily pushed him away.
The movement made her wince sharply.
In their exchange, a bloodstain on the bed was revealed. Ronald's lips tightened. "Your first time?"
She had been so passionate and forward last night, yet she was a virgin?
Ronald didn't have much experience in this area himself and felt he might have messed up.
But his voice remained completely neutral, which to Adeline sounded like he found her troublesome.
She assumed he was annoyed about being entangled with a one-night stand.
"No! I might be starting my period. I'll check."
Her face burning, she wrapped herself in the sheet and ran to the bathroom.
Remembering the size of Ronald's manhood, Adeline's scalp tingled. No wonder she was in so much pain!
After what seemed like forever, she heard the door close, suggesting he had left.
She sneaked out of the bathroom, checking that no one was there before breathing a sigh of relief, then cursed herself for being so reckless.
At the time, she'd been so frustrated that her carefully planned deflowering day had been wasted, she figured she might as well have a one-night stand with a hot guy.
Now she regretted it. The guy was genuinely handsome, but she was in genuine pain.
Just then, her phone rang, and she quickly answered.
"Hello, this is Opulent Treasures HR department. Adeline, congratulations on making it to the final round of interviews. Please arrive at our company at 10 AM sharp."
"Yes, I'll be on time!"
Adeline nearly squealed with excitement.
After interviewing with so many companies, finally one she liked had shown interest in her.
Seeing she had less than an hour, she endured the discomfort, rushed home to change clothes, and stopped by a pharmacy on her way to the company.
Yesterday she'd been so bewitched by his looks that they hadn't used protection. That expensive box of condoms was who knew where now.
Thinking about how wild that handsome stranger had been, surely it wasn't his first time? Did that mean he was experienced with multiple sexual partners?
Adeline arrived at the company lobby waiting for the elevator, growing increasingly anxious.
What if he had some disease? Should she get a preventative shot at the hospital? What if he had HIV?
With these thoughts racing through her mind, she quickly took out a morning-after pill and popped it into her mouth. The large tablet nearly choked her.
"Have some water."
Suddenly a thermos appeared in front of her, and without thinking, Adeline took a big gulp.
Finally swallowing the pill, she turned gratefully, "Thank you—"
Her voice cut off abruptly, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The man she'd had a one-night stand with was standing right behind her!
Ronald instinctively reached for the pill box in her hand. "Are you sick?"
Adeline quickly stuffed the morning-after pill back into her bag, her voice hoarse. "No."
Hearing her voice, they both froze.
She'd been so vocal during their intense night that her voice was completely shot.
Ronald glanced down at the faint hickeys on her neck, his Adam's apple bobbing as last night's memories flashed vividly in his mind. It had felt good.
No, it had felt incredible.
Adeline's face turned crimson.
"Going up?" Hearing his voice, Adeline nodded instinctively and hurried into the elevator.
Ronald stood beside her as she tried to shrink into the corner.
Why was he here? Could he be an Opulent Treasures employee too? That would mean seeing each other every day—how mortifying!
Meanwhile, every work group chat at Opulent Treasures was exploding.
A photo of Ronald gazing tenderly at a woman beside him at the bar was being frantically shared.
Only the back of the woman's head was visible, but Ronald's face was captured clearly. That tender, loving look in his eyes had every employee's jaw on the floor.
