The Dragon Lover

by Maialen Alonso

  It wasn’t a bad idea.

  Yes, she could do that. Mira jumped up and ran to her desktop computer and started to change the hundred pages that she had written. Half an hour later she printed out the pages and sighed thinking that she could have initiated this plan once he had left his apartment. It was stupid of her not to have thought of it.

  Okay, she’d told herself that she didn’t care what Kwon knew or thought, but after thinking about it, Mira realized that having him as the male protagonist in her erotic novel, was like telling him to his face that she wanted to have wild passionate sex with him, even though she was a virgin. Mira felt like she was going to die. She was ridiculous.

  She grabbed the sheaf of papers and went out to the balcony where a small dividing wall separated the two balconies. It wasn’t that high, maybe a meter, and a chair would help her jump over easily. She’d quickly look for the papers that she gave him yesterday and replace them with the new papers.

  After climbing over the small dividing wall she entered his apartment through the sliding glass doors. Due to the height of the penthouse apartments it wasn’t necessary to have a door latch. Mira thought that she looked like she was imitating Spiderman, if Spiderman was a thief.

  Mira looked around Kwon’s apartment searching for the manuscript and saw it was next to a chair and prayed that it hadn’t been opened yet. She sat on the couch terrified, looking through each page she saw that there were no marks or bent edges. Still she didn’t believe that he could have read it so fast so…

  Damn it!

  Someone had just inserted a key into the doorknob.

  Oh fuck, fuck. I’m so dead.

  Mira looked for a place to hide. She was too far away from the balcony, but she ended up freezing up when he opened the door and he saw her standing inside his apartment. Clearly surprised, his eyes went wide open and his eyebrows arched. Surprise was evident on his face.

  The apocalypse…

  Kwon entered his apartment without changing his expression. “You have a strange fetish. I didn’t think you’d be the type to enter other people’s apartments.”

  “I…” What could she say in her defense?

  “Oh,” Kwon murmured as his eyes lowered to see Mira holding the sheaf of papers so tightly that the first pages were bent. “Good afternoon.”

  Kwon dropped his keys on an entry table and took off his jacket while walking towards her. Mira swallowed nervously when she saw Kwon smile a sinister smile. “I enjoyed reading the manuscript. So I’m your sexual fantasy? It’s very complimentary considering that you’re a virgin.”

  Mira felt faint and she suddenly went pale because of his impertinent words.

  “However, you don’t know me,” He continued, “Because if you did know me you wouldn’t have written me being so gentle.”

  Kwon walked around to stand behind her. While Mira stared straight ahead quiet like a statue. She jumped when she felt his hands on her shoulders.

  “I…I’m sorry…I…”

  “You,” He cut her off. “You thought you could break into my apartment, change the manuscript, and leave without me ever knowing anything.”

  He pressed his hands down until she sat down in the same chair that he had occupied yesterday while he read her first draft. Then he grabbed the papers of the original manuscript and opened it.

  “He bit her hard nipples making her writhe beneath him while grabbing the sheets. Then he raised his hand to wind it in her hair,” Kwon’s voice read aloud. “This paragraph is the only believable paragraph in the entire book. Although, if I were sincere I have to admit that I would prefer you to be bound in this scene. You seem like the type of person that would hit.”

  Mira looked at him shocked.

  “Now tell me why are you still a virgin?” He asked.

  “What?”

  “Tell me.” He gripped her trembling shoulders firmly, and she was unable to get up and run out of the apartment.

  “I don’t know.”

  “I want to know. I’m very curious.”

  “It just happened.”

  “It just happened,” Kwon repeated thoughtfully. “Your book says a lot about you. More than you realize. I can see all your fantasies and that part where your innocent female protagonist ends up masturbating desperately. The truth is that I was aroused thinking about you acting the same way. I know that you based it off of your own experience and it’s one of the most believable parts of the book.

  Now horrifying! The worst part was that he was right, but it was something so intimate and private, that to admit it in front of him would kill her. Of course she had masturbated. She was a young healthy woman.

  “Of course touching oneself is nothing at all similar to having someone else touch you,” Kwon said.

  “I want to go,” Mira pleaded. She felt bad because he was laughing at her, like she was stupid and ridiculous, her eyes began to sting with unshed tears.

  “No, don’t go.”

  “You enjoy making me feel bad,” She suddenly bellowed with a previously hidden anger that emerged from a dark place. “Not everyone is as amazing as you. Normal people are rejected quite frequently. More so when half of your friends are models and the other half look like models. Who the hell is going to want to get with me when I have a friend standing next to me that looks like Naomi Campbell?” Mira looked at him as she shouted in rage.

  “It’s better that you stop thinking that shit,” Kwon replied without changing his expression.

  His words shook her.

  “You think men prefer models?” He asked her, lifting her trembling body from the chair. “Maybe young eighteen year old kids do so, because of fashion and trends, but a mature man wants a real woman.”

  Kwon removed his hands from her shoulders and placed them on her hips.

  “This is what we want. This is feminine and beautiful,” Kwon said.

  Mira tuned and saw him out of the corner of her eye and was surprised to see his eyes full of sincerity. Something that she didn’t expect considering what she knew of him so far and her heart started beating fast.

  “Personally, I can’t get hard with a boney woman that I feel will break with any sexual act that is a little more kinky, than a simple fuck,” Kwon explained.

  He isn’t even a little ashamed, Mira thought completely astonished, that is confidence in its purest form.

  “This is also important.” Kwon raised his hands placing them underneath her breasts and pressing slightly to lift them upward making Mira shudder. “It’s natural and essential. A simple movement can make them move beautifully.”

  Mira started to think she was in a dream, wet and aroused. Was he doing this on purpose? Her panties were starting to bother her as they stuck to her body with her growing wetness. Feeling his hands on her body, so close, in that instant she wished that he would lift them up higher and cover her breasts, to feel him touch and squeeze them giving her pleasure.

  “You’ll never be able to write about something believably if you don’t experience it yourself,” Kwon said, and she felt his words like someone threw a pail of cold water on her.

  “I tried,” Mira said, without thinking.

  “With Johan?” Kwon smiled, maliciously. “He looks tough, but deep down he’s really nice, too nice. However, what was it he said? Oh, yes. ‘I felt like ripping off her clothes and fucking her brains out.’”

  “That’s not funny.”

  “No, of course not! The truth isn’t usually funny,” Kwon said.

  With every word and sentence she was even more disturbed. She was beginning to wonder if he was making advances, laughing at her, or was simply giving her useful advice. Mira felt overwhelmed and because she didn’t know how to take his words. She didn’t know how to act.

  “Okay,” Mira said, after thinking for a few minutes. “I get it. I’ll do someth
ing about it. Maybe with…”

  “With who?” Kwon asked.

  At that moment Mira could have sworn Kwon’s voice was harsh.

  “If you’re thinking of calling Night Moon for another escort, don’t bother. I’ve already told them not to send you anyone. I’m your mentor and I’m here to teach you.”

  “A…hey!”

  Kwon closed the distance from his hands to her breasts and he squeezed them. Shocked, Mira grabbed his hands, surprised at the ease at which he had grabbed her. Mira would have never guessed he would dare just grab her catching her completely unaware. Her heart started beating erratically.

  “I only want you to feel this,” Kwon told her. “Don’t be embarrassed.”

  “How can you expect me not to be embarrassed?” Mira asked.

  “You’re voice is shaking,” Kwon commented.

  “Are you an idiot?” Mira shrieked, when he massaged her voluptuous breasts arousing her.

  “You dare accuse me in this situation. You’re a very daring neighbor, but don’t forget that there is a way to get rid of that aggressiveness.”

  Kwon released her suddenly and she tried to gain her balance. Then turned around and looked at him with accusatory eyes. Kwon smiled at her in a charming manner.

  “That look, seriously? It was only a small and innocent intrusion. It’s not like you’re naked.” Kwon walked towards her while taking off his tie. “Don’t forget that you’re the one who broke into my home, where I am lord and master.”

  Mira started walking backwards without taking her eyes off of Kwon.

  “The truth is that I never thought that my complaining neighbor was so delicious,” Kwon admitted, suddenly shocking her. “I suppose that deep down the moans bothered you because you were jealous. That is a very ugly sin.”

  “Are you insane? I’m not jealous of anything,” Mira lied, opening her eyes wide and pointed at him. “What are you doing?”

  Kwon started unbuttoning his white dress shirt.

  “I don’t like that in the book you don’t describe much about my body. I have to spend many hours at the gym to keep in shape,” he admitted, somewhat upset. “So I want you to see my body and I want you to touch it.”

  “I’m not going to touch you,” Mira said.

  “Seriously? You’ll end up begging me,” he said.

  Mira opened her mouth in shock. What she could see of what he revealed from beneath his shirt was worthy of praise, but, how could he be so shameless? And how did he look so devilishly sexy taking off his clothes?

  His flashing eyes stared straight at her shining with their beautiful grey color. It was arousing and that she couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to.

  Mira stopped moving backwards as he drew nearer. She wasn’t sure she wanted to escape after she saw him throw his shirt on the floor. With his perfect abs and pale skin he must not be from earth.

  After a few seconds he stood in front of her and she looked straight ahead. His skin seemed so smooth. She had never seen a half-naked man close up and of course seeing it on T.V didn’t arouse her.

  Kwon took hold of her hands while she was in a type of trance and placed them over his chest. Mira snapped out of the daze she was in and seemed surprised.

  “I’m embarrassed, ” Mira shrieked, loudly.

  Kwon was surprised at her honesty since he thought she would be too shy to say anything. She was very interesting. He felt tenderness towards her on seeing that her honesty was caused by her innocence and the new sensation of touching his body, a male body for the first time.

  8. Cruel Mentor

  His skin was velvety smooth, so smooth that Mira began to anxiously think of sex scenes from books that she had read, this made her want to lick every inch of his muscular body. What the hell was happening to her?

  “I don’t think it’s fair that I’m the only one to remove my clothes,” Kwon murmured, moving his hands up to Mira’s blue blouse, and the buttons.

  “Hey, hey!” Mira stopped him. “You took off your clothes because you wanted to. I didn’t make you get undressed.”

  Kwon arched an eyebrow and Mira’s voice slowly lowered.

  “Turn around,” Kwon ordered, with a wave of his hand.

  Somewhat mistrustful she decided to do it. Uneasily she turned her head to look at him, but at another harsh gesture form Kwon she stood straight again and watched the room. Kwon took her hands and placed together on her back. There she felt both her wrists bound by something soft and velvety. Then she felt both his hands on her shoulders, and with the agility of a feline he removed her blouse leaving Mira in her bra, one of the buttons on her blouse had flown off and landed somewhere on the floor.

  “Hey, why?” Mira felt an electric current start at the exact point where he kissed her neck and lightly bit her and although her mind was getting a little foggy she managed to remember that in the manuscript there was a similar scene.

  A little bit later, Kwon stood in front of her. He was unusually serious and seemed like a completely different person. Mira was beginning to blush, her blood was rushing with emotion, and it resulted in pink cheeks.

  The straps of her bra slipped down softly tickling her and causing her to have goosebumps. When she was bared completely Kwon bent down and grabbed her legs carrying her. Mira shrieked when the sensation of being lifted up momentarily felt as if she were going to fall painfully on the floor, but instead she ended up with her cheek against his shoulder. Without waiting a second he began to carry her towards his luxurious and somewhat extravagant room.

  The bed was white with gold decorations. The posts of the bed were in the magnificent shape of four coiled powerful dragons and at each side of the bed were two side tables made of grey pearl. To the left of the large room, a large window took up half the wall, next to it was a built in closet with French doors, and finally, she saw a door where the bathroom must be located.

  Suddenly she was thrown back, if her hands hadn’t been tied behind her back she would have grabbed on to him and held on like a tic, to prevent from falling.

  “Did you hit your head?”

  “No.”

  “Today, you’re more grumpy than usual,” He said, while standing with his arms crossed and arching an eyebrow. “But I forgive you. You’ll get over it soon.”

  Leaning forward he reached out with his hands. He grabbed Mira’s hips raising her to place her butt on top of her bound wrists. His fingers moved with agility to the buttons of her pants, which he unbuttoned in a matter of seconds, showing a bit of white underwear.

  “Wait!” Mira shouted when she felt the cloth moving down. “Kwon!”

  “You’re going to tell me that it embarrasses you, right?” He laughed.

  “Of course, it embarrasses me, idiot!”

  “So now I’m an idiot,” He murmured, while scratching his chin. “I think it’s my duty to make you regret saying that, and since it embarrasses you so much,” He said, theatrically. “I’ll remove your underwear and tie your legs to the bed so that I can see absolutely everything. I will sit and drink a glass of wine truly enjoying the moment.”

  It has to be a joke, Mira thought, unable to speak. Then her complexion paled. He wouldn’t dare, would he?

  When her pants had been lowered to her knees she began to feel a horrible tingling sensation. The mix of fear and arousal completely confused her. She closed her eyes while she shouted his name, just thinking that he would act out his words, almost made her want to die.

  “Sorry…I’m sorry that I called you an idiot,” Mira said, when Kwon’s hands rested on the elastic of her underwear. “Please, please…I’m sorry.”

  “Although you deserve it this is not a punishment, Mira.” Kwon was serious. “The truth is that at the moment all I can think of is my own personal enjoyment. I will enjoy drinking that glass of wine while I enjoy looking at you in all you
r splendor, you won’t escape that.”

  “Kwon, Kwon, no!” Mira begged him, feeling like she was drowning.

  He began to slip the pants further down her legs even though she tried to stop him by pressing her legs tightly closed, but it only managed to scrape and rough up her sensitive skin.

  “Don’t try to stop the inevitable,” Kwon said, while shaking his head.

  Mira felt like crying once she felt her pants and underwear slide down off her ankles and fall on the floor. Even though she had her legs pressed together Mira felt herself completely exposed.

  Mira had never thought being unclothed in front of someone would be so embarrassing, but it could also be, because that someone was him.

  “I said I was sorry, damn it!” Mira cried out with trembling lips.

  “And I’ve told you that this isn’t a punishment. Do you see it as such? Although I feel bad about it, seeing your face makes it worthwhile. You’re sweeter than I thought you would be, and sweeter than you yourself ever thought. You act tough to protect yourself from other people, so that you don’t need anyone else but yourself.”

  “Don’t be absurd,” Mira said. “What are you doing?”

  Kwon turned around, walked to the closet, and Mira heard a tinkling sound. When he returned to her side with a triumphant expression, it was to lift a thin chain that shined brightly, scaring Mira. On the end there was leather tie. A few seconds later she felt the leather gently wrap around her ankles, and though she tried to move away Mira didn’t use all of her strength, because if she had it would have shown everything. Stupid, she thought, I will still show everything.

  The chain wound tight around the right post, Kwon started to pull and to Mira’s mortification one of her leg was pulled open, leaving her with one leg to try and cover herself. This was turning into a nightmare.

  Mira once again pleaded for him to stop, but he ignored her, and concentrated on binding the other leg. From one moment to another she was completely exposed to his gaze. That fell on her like a slab of marble and made it difficult for her to breathe.
