It was late Monday—10:30 p.m.—and finally, a long-delayed surprise was ready to unfold. The air had grown chilly, and the world outside fell into a hush, as though time itself had paused. But Kimi remained engrossed in a Zoom work call, his stoic features illuminated by the screen’s cool glow as colleagues discussed the upcoming case, their thoughtful expressions etched across the virtual space.

  Twisting the door handle, Katherine slipped inside. Silhouetted against the gentle light, the mischief-maker tiptoed toward Kimi, her lips curling into an impish grin. Without a sound, she slid her palms over his eyes, playfully blindfolding him as she whispered in his ear. “Kimi, are you ready for your belated birthday present?”

  Kimi’s heart skipped a beat, startled by the sudden darkness, his focus momentarily wavering. His earbuds, still connected to the laptop, carried Katherine’s words across the group call. The unexpected interruption stirred surprise among his colleagues, who knew him only as aloof and ascetic. A ripple of raised eyebrows and suppressed gasps spread through the online meeting room.

  Swiftly recovering, Kimi eased her hands from his face, turning to meet her kittenish smile. She stood wrapped in a loosely tied, ivory satin robe, revealing a hint of something alluring beneath.

  The atmosphere shifted, and in haste, he blurted, “Meeting adjourned!”

  With a decisive click on the ‘Leave’ button, he exited the digital conference.

  Katherine’s irises widened in sudden realization. “Oh no! Were you in… a meeting? I thought you were watching a drama or something!” A wave of embarrassment crept up her cheeks.

  Kimi rose, chuckling lightly. “No harm done,” he teased. “But I’ve waited so patiently for my birthday present, I’m considering applying for sainthood!”

  Katherine laughed, and her fingertips ghosted over his elbow. “Well then, Saint Kimi,” she purred, her tone shifting as she led him to the edge of the bed, “it’s time to reward your patience.” She flashed him a seductive smile.

  “Sit.”

  Obediently, Kimi perched on the edge of the bed, his pulse quickening as she guided him to the sash of her robe. “You may unwrap your present now.”

  With a steady pull, Kimi tugged at the sash, and the robe slipped from her shoulders, pooling at her feet. His breath caught as he took in the intricate lacework of her bustier, a blend of sheer panels and delicately woven patterns that hugged her curves.

  She tilted her head and gave him a teasing wink. “You like what you see?” she asked, echoing a question he’d once posed.

  The reminder, coupled with the sight before him, sent a thrill through him. “You have no idea how long you’ve tormented me,” he murmured. “Since the day you wore nothing but your brother’s T-shirt… I’ve been waiting for this. Is this real or am I just having a wet dream?”

  Katherine giggled and leaned closer. “This isn’t a dream, Kimi. Tonight, your every wish is my command.”

  A new intensity sparked as he reached for her, his palms gliding over her shoulders, savoring the feel of her silken skin. She moaned softly as he brushed his lips over her collarbone, his touch igniting an electric current between them. Her heartbeat accelerated as his caress traced the straps of her bustier, slowly sliding them off. “Take it off,” he groaned, his voice thick with desire.

  She turned her back to him, glancing coyly over her shoulder. “You’ll have to undo the hooks,” she mouthed.

  Facing the row of clasped hooks down Katherine’s back, Kimi felt challenged. “How on earth did you even put this on?”

  She gave a naughty chuckle and chirped, “It’s a secret!”

  Kimi fumbled for the clasps, his fingers trembling slightly with anticipation. As he undid the final hook, the bustier slipped away, leaving her torso exposed. He gently tugged her arm, urging her to lie on the bed. Just as he leaned in, Katherine pivoted, reaching over to her robe to produce a small, slim sachet.

  “I’m a safety girl,” she said, pressing the packet into his palm. “Put this on first.”

  He smirked, taking the hint with a wry shake of his head. “You really thought of everything.”

  “Of course, I want tonight to be perfect,” she replied with a sly grin. “Now, let’s see the goods.”

  Without hesitation, Kimi shed his shirt and boxers, revealing a toned physique and a ready arousal. He tore open the packet, only to find it too tight upon trying to put the condom on. Frustrated, he held up the torn sachet. “Who told you I was an ‘M’?”

  Flustered, Katherine stammered, “I… Well, how was I supposed to know these come in sizes? I just grabbed a box and ran!”

  He exhaled a chuckle, though disappointment edged his face. “It’s alright, Katherine. Go ahead and sleep; I’ll join you after a cold shower.”

  Seeing his disappointment, Katherine thought on her feet. “I’ll run out first thing tomorrow for the pill,” she promised, only for him to refuse.

  “No,” he insisted. “It’s harmful for your body. Your health matters more than that.”

  Surprised by his consideration, Katherine paused, then ventured, “What about… well, we could try pulling out—”

  But he cut her off. “Not for my first time. I can’t risk that.”

  Moved by his steadfastness, Katherine realized just how deeply he valued her well-being. With her mind made up, she dismissed all doubts. “Then, forget everything else, Kimi. Make love to me.” Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled him into a deep kiss, letting go of any lingering indecision.

  This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Kimi’s resolve had been tested to the limit! With an urgency they’d both restrained, he lifted her onto the bed, their bodies intertwining as he returned the kiss. His mouth trailed down her neck, igniting a tingling sensation along her spine. Wrapped in desire, his touches were tender yet charged, their inhibitions dissolving.

  His knuckles grazed her cheek as he looked at her, seeking reassurance. “Kitty, are you sure?” he murmured.

  She answered with a sultry hum.

  With her consent, Kimi’s touch grew bolder, fondling her curves and tracing them to her waist. His hands lingered at her hips before slipping off her last layer of lace, leaving her bare beneath his gaze. He lifted her legs, parting them gently as their eyes met in a silent, electrifying exchange.

  Katherine’s pulse quickened as his fingers traced her core with a reverent, deliberate touch. Her body responded instinctively, gripping the sheets as her hips moved in sync. Soft gasps escaped her throat, her heart racing with every slow, deliberate motion.

  Each caress invited her to surrender. His warm breath tickled her skin, sending a rush of sensation that left her exposed and alive. He cooed, a hint of wonder in his voice. “Kitty, you’re so beautiful.”

  He leaned in as he entered her slowly, but halted the moment he felt a surge of resistance. “Stop! Kimi, it hurts.”

  He froze, stunned. Is this as far as I’m ever going to get?

  He quickly calmed himself. “Just relax, Kitty. We’ll go slow. I’ve got you.” His hands found hers, fingers interlacing in silent encouragement. She took a steadying breath, gradually adjusting, trust mingling with anticipation.

  They began to move in a gentle rhythm, each thrust deepening their connection, drawing them closer. Katherine’s hesitation melted into lustful moans. Their bodies found a tempo, and they moved together with growing intensity, their whispers and sighs blending.

  As the cadence built, Katherine wrapped her legs tightly around him, anchoring herself to this fevered moment. Her gaze met his—wide, trusting, and a little overwhelmed. He leaned in, brushing a kiss to the side of her mouth.

  “This feels amazing,” he rasped, voice thick with passion. “You’re incredible.”

  Her nails pressed into his back, her body trembling as pleasure coiled tighter within her, rising like a cresting wave. Her moans spilled freely now, uninhibited, entirely hers. With Kimi, it felt natural. Safe.

  When release came, it was like a sudden silence rushing in, a humming with something deeper than satisfaction.

  Kimi collapsed beside her, chest heaving, heart racing. For a long moment, neither spoke. Katherine stared at the ceiling as she caught her breath.

  He turned to her. “Was it… okay?”

  She broke into a lazy smirk. “Better than okay,” she mused. “But next time? You get the condoms.”

  He laughed. “Deal.”

  He pulled the blanket over both of them, wrapping her in his arms, feeling her heartbeat against his, steady and real.

  “G’night, Kitty,” he hummed.

  “G’night… Saint Kimi.”
