Serena Li saw the man’s deep eyes staring at her. They were very close, and the scent of his masculine hormones wafted over her. She suddenly felt flustered, and her pale face flushed slightly.
Neither of them spoke, and an eerie silence fell over the surroundings. Serena Li could clearly feel the cold aura emanating from the man; he seemed somewhat displeased.
“Are you here to get your clothes?” Serena Li broke the silence first.
Victor Mo didn’t answer her question, but only asked, “Why is your phone always off?”
His chest rose and fell with his breath as he spoke, his hot breath carrying a faint scent of tobacco, which sprayed all over her face. Unable to bear the ambiguous atmosphere, Serena Li said, “The power went out just now. Wait a moment, I’ll go back and get your suit.”
After saying that, he walked past him into the arcade, took out his access card, swiped it, and went inside.
Victor Mo watched her go in without stopping her, and when she disappeared around the corner of the elevator, he curled the corners of his mouth.
Serena Li first placed the cloth bag on the shoe cabinet, found the charger, charged her phone, then went to the guest room to retrieve Victor Mo ‘s suit, put it in a large paper bag, and prepared to take it down.
Just then, her doorbell rang.
Serena Li gets along well with her neighbors on the same floor. Occasionally they would exchange gifts, and she would assume they were just visiting neighbors, so she would open the door without thinking much of it.
But when she saw the handsome face outside the door, she paused in her action of unlocking the last lock.
Victor Mo get up here? And how does he know which floor and which room he lives in?
He opened the door, somewhat stunned.
Then I heard him say, “Would it be convenient to use the restroom?”
Serena Li hesitated for a moment, but then, remembering that everyone needs to use the restroom sometimes, she stepped aside to make way for the doorway and said, “Okay.”
Victor Mo stepped into the house, and Serena Li pointed in the direction of the bathroom, “The bathroom is over there.”
After Victor Mo went into the restroom, Serena Li saw that her phone battery was over 10%, so she turned it on and found several missed calls from him, from around 8 p.m. until she returned.
A moment later, she looked up and saw Victor Mo standing next to the TV in the living room, watching her.
His so-called “borrowing the restroom” seems to have really just meant going in to wash his hands.
Do you have a cup for drinking water?
His sudden question startled Serena Li , who initially thought she had misheard him. She assumed he would leave after using the restroom…
Noticing her surprise, Victor Mo calmly explained, “I arrived at eight o’clock and I’m a little thirsty now.”
Eight o’clock? Wasn’t that when I first arrived at Baolian Building? Oh, I’ve been waiting for so long.
Serena Li snapped out of her daze and said, “Wait a moment,” before putting down her phone and going into the kitchen.
Victor Mo went straight to the living room sofa and sat down, his long, straight legs elegantly crossed, as he looked around at the furnishings in her home.
The house wasn’t big, but the overall layout was nice. The things in the living room were arranged neatly yet elegantly, just like the clean and beautiful feeling she gave off.
Victor Mo noticed a small photo album on a small bookshelf next to the coffee table. He picked it up and opened it. The first photo was of her with her head slightly lowered and a perfect smile. The lighting was particularly soft, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible, making one want to smooth them with their fingers.
Serena Li took a white porcelain cup from the sterilizer and poured Victor Mo a glass of warm water. When she came out, she saw Victor Mo looking at her photo album. It contained photos taken by Frank Wang on the day of the school anniversary celebration ; she had put them in the album to keep them safe.
She felt a little awkward as he looked at her photos. Just as she was about to walk over and take the album back, her cell phone, which was next to the TV, rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, placed the water in front of Victor Mo , and quickly answered the phone.
“Hey, Dad… Thanks… I’m going out with Lynn and the others tomorrow… They’ve planned an activity for me, saying it’s a surprise, but I don’t know what it is yet… Okay… Dad, bring a U-shaped neck pillow with you on the plane tomorrow… Call me when you arrive… Okay… Dad, I love you the most… Bye-bye.”
Tomorrow is her birthday. Daniel Li is going to the United States on a business trip and will be on a plane all day, so he sent his daughter his birthday wishes in advance.
Serena Li hung up the phone, she turned around and saw Victor Mo standing behind her. She immediately took two steps back.
“you…”
Victor Mo pointed to the charger he had unplugged behind her and said softly, “Next time you make a call, unplug the charger, okay?”
Serena Li was stunned, only then realizing that she had been so excited to see her father’s phone call that she had completely forgotten to unplug the charger.
Coming to her senses, she looked at him and said, “Thank you, it’s late, you should go home!” It was so late, a man and a woman alone in a room, and he was a man who had designs on her; she had to decisively send him away. Then she walked to the sofa, picked up the suit jacket she had packed in a paper bag, and intended to give it to him.
I don’t know if I was walking in a bit of a hurry, but when I picked up the bag and turned around, I accidentally kicked the robot vacuum cleaner next to the coffee table, and I stumbled and leaned forward.
Victor Mo quickly stepped forward and supported her shoulder.
The warmth of the man’s hands seeped into her skin through the thin fabric, and Serena Li felt her heart race. After regaining her balance, she tried to pull her hands away, but Victor Mo thought she had lost her footing and didn’t let go of her hands to steady her.
During their standoff, it’s unclear who touched whose lips first.
Instantly, all of Serena Li’s voice was blocked in her throat. She felt a heavy weight on her lips, and the hot masculine breath completely enveloped her. Their lips were pressed together, and she forgot to breathe. Her whole body stiffened and she was completely petrified.
Victor Mo didn’t kiss her on purpose; it was just an accidental collision of their lips.
But now that he’s actually with her, he doesn’t want to let go at all. Although he’d told her he needed time to think it over, her scent is just too sweet; the closer he gets, the more he wants her.
Victor Mo paused, then his breathing became heavy. He wrapped his large hand around Serena Li ‘s waist, lifted her up slightly, and took the initiative to kiss her.
Serena Li’s eyes widened, momentarily at a loss, which made it easier for the man’s tongue to shamelessly probe into her mouth, entangle with her tongue, and suck hard.
She felt a numbness and pain at the base of her tongue, and tried to resist by making muffled noises.
Serena Li clenched her hands and pushed towards the man’s chest, but couldn’t push him away. She slapped him haphazardly, only to find that his chest muscles were very firm. After a few slaps, her hands started to hurt badly, and the man’s arms around her tightened even more.
Serena Li grew increasingly frightened. Now, she and a man were alone in a room, and the man’s domineering and forceful manner left her with no way to escape.
Under the soft light, the two men’s rapid and heavy breathing mingled together, further stimulating the man, as if this brief contact was no longer enough to satisfy his needs.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Serena Li felt she was about to lose her balance and slide down, Victor Mo finally let go of her.
Serena Li’s chest heaved violently. She had so many words stuck in her throat, but for a moment, she couldn’t say anything, as if a cat had bitten her tongue. Looking into Victor Mo’s deep eyes, she saw the person reflected in them. Wasn’t that herself?
Her face was flushed, and she looked like she had been pampered by a man; her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Victor Mo reached out to help her sit on the sofa.
Serena Li saw his outstretched hand, she thought he was going to kiss her again. She immediately snapped back to reality and pushed her weak hands away from the man who was still standing almost right next to her.
My eyes inadvertently swept down to his crotch, where the enormous outline bulging from under his zipper hadn’t subsided yet.
Serena Li recoiled as if bitten by a wild beast, quickly pulling her hand back. After a moment, she composed herself, looked up at Victor Mo , and said, ” Victor Mo , I’m not that open-minded. We’re not in any relationship. You can’t just kiss me or touch me whenever you want! Or do you never consider other people’s wishes and only follow your own desires? If that’s the case, you’ve chosen the wrong person to vent your frustrations on.”
“Desire? Object of release?” Victor Mo asked softly, his voice low and almost hoarse.
His deep eyes still held a burning desire. He had just realized that he wanted more than just a kiss, but fearing to frighten her, he released her while he still had some sense. At this moment, two flames still burned in his eyes.
Serena Li couldn’t bear to look into his fiery eyes and instinctively turned her face away. She wanted to run away, but this was her home, and it wasn’t her who should leave, so she said, “You can go!”
Victor Mo walked to the coffee table, picked up the glass of water she had just poured, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he walked up to Serena Li , looked down at her and said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.”
She didn’t seem to be offering any sincerity in her apology.
Then, I heard him say, “Serena, I admit that my desires for you go beyond these things, but if anything happens someday, it will be consensual. From now on, I won’t touch you without your consent. I’m saying this to show that I respect you, because I want to continue to be in contact with you, do you understand?”
Serena Li felt a mix of emotions after hearing this, but she knew what was bothering her. She looked up at him and tried to make herself clear: “Mr. Mo, it’s not that you’re not charming enough, it’s my own problem. You don’t need to waste your time on me.”
Victor Mo stared at her face in silence for a long time.
Being rejected by a woman for the first time, and twice at that, Victor Mo felt that he was a failure as a man who wanted this woman. But as Victor Mo himself, in the long run, he did not consider himself a failure.
She looked up, frowned, and couldn’t help but sigh, “Serena, what are you afraid of?”
Serena Li was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt that he had seen through her.
