The Contract: Sunshine (8 page)

While Sunshine was feasting her eyes on him, Yoon’s raisin c
o
lored eyes stared back at her.   She know what he was about to say.  It was all she could think about.  She wondered if the kiss would be as i
n
tense now that he didn’t have an audience to convince they were lovers.

He inhaled and exhaled a few times.  “Are you okay?” He asked again licking his lips.

“My feet hurt,” she murmured watching his tongue moisten his lips.

“Do your feet hurt?”  He asked as if she hadn’t spoken.  His eyes were still glued to her mouth.

“My feet hurt,” she repeated.

“Want to ride me?”  He asked.

“Oh yes,” she sighed.

He cleared his throat again and swallowed before unbuttoning his dinner jacket turning his back to her.  He squatted to the ground and ordered, “Get on.”

Her muddled brain was processing exactly what he meant when he asked her to ride him.  It wasn’t quite how she was picturing it in her mind.  In her thoughts, he was on his back and she wasn’t.

“Huh?”  She squeaked.

Yoon looked over his shoulder at her.  “It’s not that far.  I can carry you the rest of the way.”

“I can’t let you do that.  I’m not as light as I look,” she skittered nervously.  “Besides, I can just take off my shoes.” 

“Nonsense.  It’s too chilly for that and there could be dirty needles or god only knows what else out here on these sidewalks.  Mount up; your chariot awaits, Heiress.”  His dimples showed. 

“Yoon, I don’t know about this.”

“Look, if I can carry a drunken buddy home that weighs at least forty more pounds than you do, you should be a piece of cake.  I’m stu
r
dier than I look,” Yoon assured her.

“I know...still...”

“Sunshine, are you wasting my time again already?  Stop que
s
tioning me for once and put your arms around my neck and get on my back,” he ordered.  She molded her body over his back and grasped his shoulders to steady herself.

“You’re going to have to put your arms around my shoulders.  You never rode piggy back before?” He asked her.  She could feel his voice rumbling through his back and vibrating against her stomach, ni
p
ples and secret places.

“No I haven’t, but I’ve rode shoulders in the swimming pool playing chicken while vacationing on the Riviera,” she answered with a squeak as he tugged on her arms.

“The Riviera,” Yoon snorted.  “Yeah.  Right.  Hold on.” 

Before she could set him straight about his sarcasm, he crossed her arms under his chin pulling her so close all she got was a mouth full of hair.  Her face was immediately buried in the silky blackness of his thick straight hair.

She could have gladly died right there inhaling his essence if she didn’t have the piggyback ride to look forward to.  She hampered her feeling of giddiness before she made a complete fool of herself by bouncing on his back and yelling “giddy up” like he was really a pony.

Turning her so she could breathe, he comfortably settled her against his neck and ear.

Without warning, Yoon reached behind his back and slung his arms beneath her legs until her feet and ankles were dangling.  When he stood, she felt butterflies in her lower stomach and squealed.

“Oh my ear!”  He winced.

“Sorry,” she laughed.

“You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?”

“Aren’t you supposed to?”  She asked.

“I don’t know,” Yoon replied.  “I never really thought about it.”

“Yeah, well I guess it isn’t quite the same if you’re the one doing the carrying,” she said.

He hoisted her higher on his waist and reached behind to link his hands together under her bottom like some makeshift seat and she gasped as she felt his bunched up jacket between her legs.

It was a reminder of her earlier lustful thoughts and she had to stop the natural call as old as time and roll her hips against him to seek her pleasure. 

One jarring step.  Then another.  Her sensitive aroused clitoris rubbed against the seam of her pants now taunt from the spread of her thighs.

Sunshine sucked in her bottom lip to keep from moaning.  Her nose nuzzled against his ear and she heard a swift intake of breath.  She wasn’t sure if it was him or her own.

Does he know?
She wondered with embarrassment.

She grunted.

“We’re almost there,” he assured her with a husky voice.

“Yessss,” she sighed hotly against his ear.  She felt his shoulders tense.  Were his fingers stroking her bottom or was it wishful thinking?

“Sunshine,” he breathed. 

Unable to resist since she was so close to that longed-for relief, she pretended the need to tighten her hold around his neck to keep from slipping.  She would use any excuse to move her lower body against him. 

Oh God
.  His fingers felt were so close. 
Touch me
; she silently willed.  Her clitoris was yearning...begging...screaming to be stroked.

“Yoon,” Sunshine moaned hotly against his ear.

“Yes,” he answered in a strained voice.

“May...maybe you should put me down now,” she managed.  Her eyes watered from the tense straining of trying not to move again.

“Not yet.”

She cried out as he hoisted her high again.  She was so sensitive it was almost painful.

“Yoon...Yoon...” she practically sobbed his name as she rubbed her nose against his ear, into his hair. 

They were getting  near to the end of the building before it left the private restaurant alley and opened up to the front entrance.  They were so close they could hear the laughing teasing voices of the valet attendants floating in the cool night breeze.

Yoon veered off the brick path towards the brick wall of the building they were passing.  He eased her back against the wall until she was snugly against the wall and her hold loosened on his neck.  Before Sunshine knew it, they were face to face and his body was grinding against her.

“Sunshine,” he gruffly groaned her name before pressing his mouth to hers to swallow her moans and sighs.   He pulled back to look at her their noses touching.   “This is crazy!  I’ve never done anything like this before.”

“Neither have I,” she puffed.  “
Please
don’t stop now.  I need...I need...”

“I know.  Me too.”

Not a button or zipper was open and not an ounce of flesh was showing with the exception of their faces and hands but Sunshine would swear it was the hottest journey towards an orgasm she’d ever exp
e
rienced in her sexual life.  She didn’t know if it was the man she was with or the situation that the man had her in that was driving her passion.

As they moved against each other, he kissed her again.  It was one of those kisses that had no beginning or an end.  It felt like time had stopped and as if they wanted it to go on forever.  She ran her fingers through his hair as he kept her leg high over his arms and wide to a
c
commodate his thrusting hips. 

She felt achy and wonderful as her back continuously hit the brick wall.  Sunshine knew she may have the bruises to show for it t
o
morrow and probably a big heaping of shamefulness, but for now she felt like the reckless party heiress the media often accused her of being.  It was very freeing.  Her rapid heartbeat and heated blood made foolish deeds seem not so foolish.

It was the first time Sunshine had dry sex but still her legs jerked and shivered as the orgasm slammed into her like a rolling tide.  Yoon wasn’t far behind her.  Hearing him speak in a language she didn’t u
n
derstand, but she found oddly soothing and made her smile. 

The thing she could understand was his utterance of her name repeatedly against her mouth.  Sunshine felt a secret thrill knowing that even if she never saw him again after tonight, Yoon would always r
e
member this time.  How could he not?  This was one of those memories that others had and she only dreamed about.

Out on your butt and down on your luck...

Neither of them said a word as she got into Yoon’s
Aston Martin V12 Vantage
. 

The silence continued ten minutes into the ride before Yoon chanced speaking first.  “Sorry that you’re going to be making it home later than you expected.  But I will miss an important video conf
e
rence call with the board of directors of a company I’m negotiating with in J
a
pan.”

“It’s okay really,” Sunshine replied with a smile.  “I’m just grateful I don’t have to ride home alone in a taxi cab this time of night.”  She looked sheepishly at him out of the corner of her eye and added, “Even though I led you to believe earlier I’d be okay with it.”

He chuckled softly and said, “It’s the least I can do after...what you did for me...”

Her face burned in the darkness as his words trailed off.  She wondered if his thoughts had traveled to where her thoughts seemed to want to linger.  Her body still felt sated from their impromptu romp against the wall.

“Um...” she began.  “Thank you for taking care of my situation at the restaurant without me.  I was just too mortified to walk back in there.  What if someone had recognized me when I went back in?”

“Sunshine--”

“My God,” Sunshine groaned.  She nervously smoothed her hair behind her ear.  “If you noticed what I did, there could be a chance someone from the paparazzi did too.  If they start harassing my gran
d
mother’s assistants and staff again...she will be furious.”

“Hey, you know you don’t have to keep lying about being an heiress,” Yoon told Sunshine.  “Just be yourself, whoever that may be.”

That was unexpected.  She thought he was still being nice to her because of who her family was just like everyone else did after learning her identity.  Albeit he did owe her simply because he was the one to strike the bargain; however he also could have not honored any of it and there wouldn’t have been a thing she could have done about it. 

She looked over at him and he glanced at her.  She recognized his smile in the dim light that went in and out of the vehicle as he sped under the highway of overhanging street lights.

Sunshine turned to look out the window on the passenger side once more.  It wasn’t like she could see anything but she could think be
t
ter without the distraction of his sexiness clouding her thoughts.  She was in trouble and she had no idea what she was going to do after tonight.  Tomorrow if she didn’t have the money to stay, the TDY Apartment would be rented out from beneath her.

Although she had sassed Yoon, it wasn’t him she had been mad at.  She was mad at her mom for putting her in this situ
a
tion...again.  She was also mad at her grandmother for deciding now of all times it was time for her to learn her lesson once and for all.  The old woman had outright refused to let her move back into her room in the main family h
o
mestead. 

As upset as she was with her dysfunctional family, she was mostly angry at herself for trusting her mother yet again to reimburse her the rent money she used to buy this designer suit and heels that her mother had picked out for her. 
Damn
,
what am I going to do?

Sunshine released a long sigh.  At least this time she lasted three whole days before she gave in to her mother’s usual whims and agreed to go out with the preacher that had been after her since she went to church with her mother a year ago.

With her actions this evening with Yoon against the wall, she figured he was probably wondering why she didn’t just have sex with the preacher and save herself all the grief.  The simple fact was she hadn’t found him sexy and he hadn’t offered a piggyback ride for the first time in her entire life.  Her father never got around to giving her a pi
g
gyback ride.
