To My Flower-Like S-Class Guide 120

Chapter 120:

“What? Why are you looking at me like that again?”

“Like what?”

“Like when you eat magic stones, that hungry, greedy look…”

“You’re learning.”

Baek Joo-won grinned and lifted Seo Jae-yi into his arms. As she yelped in surprise, her vision flipped, and her back landed on something soft.

She was on the bed.

“But you know, you look at me like that sometimes too. Not when you’re receiving Guiding.”

Baek Joo-won hovered over Seo Jae-yi on the bed. He wasn’t overwhelmingly larger than her, but looking up at him like this made him seem enormous.

“When I wore the suit you picked out for me, you had that exact look.”

Baek Joo-won’s eyes, pupils dilated, raked over her.

Her usually neat hair was tousled against the pillow, and her white shirt, freed from the jacket, was stretched taut. The tie around her neck, the neatly pressed suit trousers… He had never seen her like this before.

Baek Joo-won swallowed hard.

“I understand why you looked at me like that. I feel the same way right now.”

They said a suit amplified a person’s attractiveness. Baek Joo-won wholeheartedly agreed.

“From the moment you put on that suit, I couldn’t resist the urge to take it off.”

His long fingers traced the knot of her black tie. Seo Jae-yi shivered every time they brushed against her exposed skin.

“Can I take it off?”

“……You’re talking about the tie, right?”

Baek Joo-won chuckled. There was a predatory glint in his eyes.

“Yes, for now.”

His index finger slowly loosened the knot of her tie.

She should have felt less constricted now that the tie was loose, but Seo Jae-yi felt even more breathless.

She was panting.

Baek Joo-won kissed the fluttering pulse in her neck. Seo Jae-yi trembled.

“Seo Jae-yi, get a suit made at that shop. I’ll buy it for you this time.”

Click.

As he spoke, the top button of her shirt came undone.

Seo Jae-yi swallowed. Another kiss landed on her moving throat.

“The shop manager will be thrilled.”

Click.

The second button came undone.

His lips immediately latched onto her exposed skin. His breath was hot against her.

“You look this good in an ill-fitting suit, imagine how stunning you’ll be in a properly tailored one.”

Click.

When the third button came undone, Baek Joo-won lifted his head.

Her flushed cheeks, the loosened tie, the open collar of her shirt revealing her neck, and the scattered red marks…

“……Beautiful.”

A jolt shot through his lower back. Baek Joo-won licked his lips, his appetite piqued.

Unbridled desire and greed filled his eyes. It was so blatant that even the oblivious Seo Jae-yi could see it.

“You…perverted monster.”

And the desire wasn’t just in his eyes.

Seo Jae-yi’s body trembled as she stared, mesmerized, into his desire-filled green eyes. His arousal transmitted through their contact.

The moment his hard thigh pressed against hers, Seo Jae-yi gained intimate knowledge of a very private part of him that she hadn’t fully grasped during their encounter at the shop.

“There’s nothing more tempting than a disheveled S-rank Esper…”

Click.

As Seo Jae-yi’s attention was diverted, the fourth button came undone. Baek Joo-won nipped at her exposed collarbone. Seo Jae-yi gripped his shoulders.

“But don’t worry.”

From her collarbone to her shoulder, the delicate curve of her neck, her throat, and finally her jaw.

With each slow ascent of his lips, more marks bloomed on her skin, and the heat intensified.

Baek Joo-won savored that heat, exploring her with his lips and tongue.

“Not yet.”

Yes. There was plenty of time; there was no need to rush.

They would be together forever, so what was the hurry?

Seo Jae-yi was his for life.

First, he had to make her melt completely. He could take the next step after she was as consumed by him as he was by her.

A soft moan escaped Seo Jae-yi’s lips as his hot breath tickled her skin. Baek Joo-won immediately captured her mouth, nipping, stealing her breath, tangling their tongues in a desperate dance.

At the same time, he poured the Guiding she loved into her.

“Joo-won…!”

As their lips parted briefly, Seo Jae-yi cried out his name, her voice a breathless moan.

His hand, having escaped his trousers, slipped beneath her shirt, tracing the lines of her stomach as if confirming the firmness of her abs, then pulling her tightly against him.

His hand against her bare skin was burning hot, as if he had absorbed her heat.

“Ugh!”

Even though she was immune to heat, Joo-won’s touch was unbearably hot.

With a low moan, Seo Jae-yi frantically chased his lips, capturing them in a hungry kiss.

She explored him with more fervor, more intensity, more force than he had shown her.

She had never felt this way before, never wanted someone so desperately. She had even learned how to avoid hurting her Guide, afraid of injuring Kwon Yi-soo.

But with Baek Joo-won, all those restraints crumbled. She wanted him with an intensity that bordered on reckless abandon.

So this was what having a paired Guide felt like. This was why everyone was so devoted to their paired Guides.

She couldn’t resist the Baek Joo-won before her.

Sensing her desire, a deep satisfaction settled in Baek Joo-won’s eyes. It was a feeling far more profound than the satisfaction he derived from consuming a boss monster’s magic stone.

In that private sanctuary, they explored each other’s lips, stealing each other’s energy until they were both sated, until their energies mingled and intertwined.

But even in this heated moment, Baek Joo-won kept his promise and didn’t undo the fifth button of her shirt.

Waiting for the moment when Seo Jae-yi wanted him even more, even though this was already perfect.

---

After the Guiding subsided, Seo Jae-yi was speechless.

Speechless, and without the energy to even adjust her disheveled clothes or re-button her shirt. She lay sprawled on the bed, half in a daze.

“Your skin is so smooth. Did you enjoy that much?”

Baek Joo-won, lying on his side beside her, asked with a sweet smile. He looked as sated and content as she felt.

But despite his relaxed expression, he looked like he had been through a rough tumble.

His hair was a mess, his shirt was torn and stained with blood, and his body was covered in scratches and bite marks.

Seo Jae-yi felt a surge of indignation.

“……Anyone would think I was the one who did something bad.”

When in reality, she was the one on the receiving end.

“You were pretty rough with me. What could I do when you ripped my clothes demanding Guiding? I had no choice but to give you everything I had until you calmed down.”

Seeing him feign exhaustion and sighing dramatically, Seo Jae-yi asked incredulously, “Do you want to be treated roughly? I can do that for you, if you want.”

She was more than willing to oblige.

“……I misspoke.”

Baek Joo-won, realizing his teasing had backfired, got out of bed. A few swipes of his hand through his hair and a shake of his shirt, and he looked presentable again.

While the torn shirt was beyond repair, the scratches Seo Jae-yi had inflicted began to heal at a speed far exceeding even an S-rank Esper’s impressive regenerative abilities.

“Seo Jae-yi, you have a call.”

Her phone, which had fallen on the floor during their passionate embrace, vibrated.

Too drained to move, Seo Jae-yi simply gestured for him to answer it.

She was getting quite good at giving orders with a flick of her finger.

“It’s Millstone.”

Baek Joo-won pressed the answer button and put the call on speaker.

—Ah, darling. I saw the news. You finally showed your face? It’s so surreal seeing your face on screen.

Mac Grayson’s chattering voice filled the room as soon as the call connected. His voice sounded deeper over the phone.

—And Baek Joo-won even stamped you as his. My grandpa almost pulled my hair out when he saw it, so I had to escape.

“Who’s your grandpa?”

Baek Joo-won’s question made Grayson pause.

—Huh? Baek Joo-won? This is Jae-yi’s number, but are you sharing phones now that you’re paired?

“What’s wrong with that? We’re practically imprinted.”

Grayson gasped in mock admiration at his shameless reply.

—They say paired Guides and Espers become alike. Baek Joo-won is saying all the things Jae-yi would say. Were you always like this, Baek Joo-won?

“Yes, he’s always been…that kind of…guy?”

Seo Jae-yi interjected, listening to the conversation. Baek Joo-won frowned.

“Guy?”

“Well, but…”

He wasn’t human. But she couldn’t call him a monster either.

Seo Jae-yi mouthed the words, worried Grayson’s sharp ears might pick them up. Baek Joo-won clicked his tongue.

—Wow, you two have really gotten close. Just a while ago, Jae-yi was worried sick about hurting you, and now she’s calling you ‘that kind of guy.’

“You’re right. But I don’t want to go back to those days.”

Baek Joo-won glanced at his shredded shirt.

“I prefer it now, with Seo Jae-yi clinging to me and scratching me. Though it would be nice if she chose her words more carefully.”

—What are you talking about? Jae-yi is clinging to you? Scratching you? That’s hot, Jae-yi.

Seo Jae-yi grumbled indignantly at Grayson’s comment.

“Baek Joo-won’s the one who ravaged my lips and neck!”

Indeed, her neck, shoulders, and collarbone were covered in a mess of marks. Knowing his persistence, they would likely last for several days.

—Baek Joo-won is hot too… Ha, I should have stayed in Korea instead of coming back to the US. I could have witnessed this entertaining spectacle.

“Even if you were here, Eli would have dragged you back to the US. And your grandpa would have tanned your hide.”

—Darling, how do you know so much? Eli was waiting for me at the airport and dragged me away.

Elizer Lane. America’s only Spatial Manipulation Esper.

Seo Jae-yi had met him when he visited Korea with Grayson when she was twenty. Perhaps because he was a Spatial Esper, he was incredibly lazy. Which made it all the more fun to tease him, which she and Grayson often did.

Those were fun times.

—Grandpa was furious that we couldn’t recruit Baek Joo-won. My ears are still ringing.

“What can you do? Blame your incompetence for failing to recruit him.”

—Ha, I’m not usually this incompetent. To think I’d fail twice. You two will definitely go down in history.

“Of course we will. I’m super amazing!”

Baek Joo-won shot her a cold look at her boastful declaration.

Of course, Seo Jae-yi was undeterred.

—Mac Grayson! Where are you!

A booming voice roared from the phone.
