Sean's Pov
I woke up and left the room, intending to go downstairs to get some water; before going downstairs, I glanced at Arabella's room. "Is she awake yet?" I muttered, looking at the room door, then walked away.I poured mineral water into a glass, gulping it down until my dry throat felt relieved. My eyes moved to look around the still, quiet house, but I found the front door open. "Has anyone come this early?" I walked towards the door, setting the glass on the table.As soon as I reached the doorway, I was startled. I thought the door was open because Emi had just arrived, but instead, someone was standing on the front porch with a wide-eyed look that was more refreshing than the coffee I was currently sipping. "She's awake," I murmured as I gazed at Arabella's presence in the garden.I leaned against the door frame, looking at Arabella standing up while staring at the morning sky. Arabella's appearance from the side could make me see her. I unconsciously kept watching her, starting to gulp because of her seductive appearance in the morning."Is she too innocent or what?"I wondered to myself, as I couldn't take my eyes off her, who was only wearing tight underwear that made her chest clearly outlined with shorts that exposed her smooth thighs. She only layered it with a thin cardigan that was very distracting and didn't serve to cover anything.I shook my head. Either Arabella is someone who doesn't learn from experience, or she doesn't know about such things at all. Despite seeing me having sex in front of her after not seeing each other for so long, she still casually wanders around in an adult men's home with her clothes, almost perfectly exposing all her curves. Someone should tell her that every man is dangerous, even the ones with baby faces."What are you doing, Bella?" I approached her.As I stood beside her, she looked stunned, her shoulders shaking as her face turned towards me. I saw that her face was flushed because the morning temperature was quite cold. Her face looked sweet, with her big eyes wide open, looking at me.She looked up at me with those clear eyes. Every time I looked at her eyes, I strangely felt a vibration of something inside me."It's cozy here because of the beautiful scenery. The coffee tastes a little different." She looked down and stared at the coffee in her cup happily.Is she really that simple?This was the first time I'd seen someone happy just because of a cup of coffee and the atmosphere of the place. I suspected that Dallas had depressed her to the point that she took such a small thing as happiness for her.I looked at her closely. Arabella was so new to me that I was interested to see the look on her face."You know there are more beautiful places around here than this." The beach is only a few miles away from where I live. Even if you go upstairs and stand on the balcony, you can see the beach. "If you want, I have some free time to take you there."Her forehead furrowed slightly. Then, her eyeballs moved up slightly and slowly moved. She seemed to be thinking about my words quite seriously."Dallas said that you shouldn't feel pressured, so while you're here, it's best to enjoy the atmosphere and have fun." I persuaded her, thinking she would refuse."Well, it looks like it will be fun." She looked enthusiastic, which was the response I was waiting for on that face. She moved and stood right in front of me with her eyes seemingly twinkling at me. "Can we go after breakfast?"The smile on the corner of my lips was irresistible, appearing faintly at his reaction. "Sure, we can go after breakfast later."After breakfast, Arabella hurried back to her room. She said she wanted her cell phone, which she left in the room. So I told her that I would wait for her out front."Morning, sir." I turned my head at the voice and saw Emi walking towards me."Morning, Emi has a guest staying at the house today for the next few months." Emi stopped her steps and didn't go straight into the house. "Her name is Arabella. She's my friend's sister. I want you to prepare her needs and make her comfortable."Emi nodded slowly. "Yes, sir. I will do so." After saying that, Emi resumed her steps and entered the house.I started the Mini Cooper that I would be driving to take her around, as I thought leaving the roof open would give her the freedom to breathe in the fresh air of this place to her heart's content. It wasn't long before Arabella came out. As our eyes met, I signaled for her to come up.She obeyed immediately and sat in her place quietly. I glanced at her. "Are you ready?""Yes." She replied with vigor and enthusiasm, absolutely adorable.I maneuvered my vehicle out of the mansion, turned the corner, and headed towards the road that revealed a beach view stretched as far as the eye could see. Arabella, gazing at it cheerfully. Her hair flying in the wind makes the beach view a little less appealing to me.In about 5 minutes, we arrived, and as soon as I stopped the Cooper I was carrying, Arabella came out with slow movements while her eyes stared fixedly at the beach. "It's more beautiful in person." I heard her mutter a little and then walk and start towards the shore. She smiled happily, taking off her shoes and touching the wet sand enthusiastically. She scampered away from me towards the shoreline.Seeing her, I couldn't help but smile and feel amused. I followed Arabella, who I now saw running barefoot. "You like the beach?" I followed her footsteps.Arabella kept walking enthusiastically as she glanced at me with a happy face. "Maybe." She gave an ambiguous answer as she watched her footsteps that left footprints along the wet sand she walked on, and then she looked back at me while tucking her hair that was covering her face because of the wind. As she did so, I wanted to touch her and tuck the hair behind her ear. "This is my first time coming to the beach."I was stunned, looking at her in confusion. "You're 21, Arabella. What have you been doing all this time?" I was increasingly curious about what kind of life this girl was living.I saw her smile sadly. There was an impression on her face. "Dallas doesn't allow me to go to the beach with my friends. Since my parents are gone, he's forbidden me from many things." I remember Dallas was only 17 years old, and Arabella was 13. They were both teenagers when their parents died, and that day, Dallas was messed up. Dallas seemed to have lost the pillars of his life, and their passing shook him up.He lifted his face to stare at the shoreline. "My movements were limited because Dallas was so controlling. He asked me to obey him because he thought it was best for me. But somehow, I don't feel that his choices are the best for my life." She played with her feet on the splashing beach water. "I feel like I have no choice in my own life."I looked at the girl with pity. Dallas shouldn't have made Arabella feel that way, and I understood that his goal was to protect her, but this way, he was making her feel difficult."Dallas is like that," I admitted.Arabella gave a slight nod. "Yes. Maybe because I'm the only family he has, Dallas is protective of me." I kept her quiet for a while.She didn't understand the feelings of a big brother for his little sister, but she could comfort her a little. "Currently, Dallas isn't watching you, so you can do what you want." I glanced at him with a faint smile that I rarely showed anyone. "Tell me where you want to go, and I'll accompany you."Arabella looked at me with her eyes that looked eager. "Maybe you'll mention it to Dallas later when I decide to do something." She didn't believe me.I laughed at her mocking remark. "I'm not that kind of person," I said, staring at her intently. Then, I couldn't take my eyes off her.I watched Arabella's face closely, looking up into those leaf-green eyes and being captivated by them. Then, down at her cheeks seemed faintly decorated with freckles but made the face even more beautiful, and her lips. My eyes could never move from her thick lips, sensually similar to Jolie's. "Oh, Bella!" I moved quickly, trying to lift her, who suddenly crouched down to get away, as I realized a vast wave was sweeping towards us, but it was too late. The wave on the shoreline had already crashed into us, so we were both wet, and I, who failed to pick her up, hugged her.I released my embrace on her and looked into her eyes. "What are you doing?""I dodged too late," she said after being hit by a wave that left her soaked.I quickly got up and checked on her. "You shouldn't be squatting on the shoreline." I helped her up.Just as she got up, I realized something extraordinary was visible. Now, her clothes seemed exposed due to the water soaking her clothes."I saw a very pretty seashell," she said, explaining her reason for squatting there. Still, the girl looked casual and innocently waved the front of the undershirt she was wearing right in front of me, revealing the bra she was wearing and her cleavage.I turned my face away from her before my instincts again controlled me. "It's not only her brother who likes to torment me, his sister is no different."Sean's POV"Hurry up and get dressed, then head back downstairs. I'll make some hot chocolate."I said as I walked toward the kitchen, trying very hard to keep my eyes off Arabella, who was still soaking wet and could exacerbate my desire to do something to her. Even though she was wrapped in a blanket to keep her warm while in the car, it was useless because I knew what was behind it."Yes, thank you."Arabella's footsteps as she climbed the stairs to her room relieved me. At least I had a little time to control myself while making a drink. Before that, I removed my wet clothes and hung a towel around my neck to absorb the wetness from my hair.My drink was finished, and Arabella was already in the living room. I approached her and held out the cup, still emitting steam. "Be careful, it's still hot."After hearing the soft words of thanks, I returned to the pantry but kept looking at Arabella, who was now blowing on the drink and sipping it slowly. She seemed to be enjoying it. Of co
Arabella's POVI woke up, surprised by the warm touch on my lips. My gaze fell on Sean's face, who was slowly approaching, still with his finger lingering on the tip of my lips. Panic and fear immediately came over me as his touch seemed like it wouldn't let go, but I quickly called Sean's name before what I feared happened."Sean?"Sean looked at me in surprise and hurriedly stood up. The expression on the man's face seemed to portray nothing, while I tried to hold back the fear that made my body tremble and sat up. I was reminded of the incident when I came to this house and found Sean intimately wrestling with a woman shamelessly. I didn't want that to happen to me."What are you doing to me?" I looked at Sean, who stood still, not looking like he would answer my question. I put my hands together, clasping them tightly, waiting for the man's answer. I hoped he would give me an honest answer that I could accept well to ease the prejudice in my head.Sean looked unfocused when I dare
Arabella's POVI woke up. After waking up last night, it was a good thing that I was able to fall asleep again and feel refreshed. I stretched my body and got out of bed to draw the curtains, then opened the window to expose my room to the morning air.My laptop was already lying neatly on the table, as well as a notebook and pen. It had been a long time since I'd been out of the house apart from going to the beach with Sean that time, so I was going to spend the morning looking up information on various places I could visit for fun and to pass the time."The cafe sounds good. Dallas has already given me enough money for a month. Strawberry cake like yesterday should be available at cafes, right?" I muttered to myself as I entered several keywords into the search engine in turn.I could get dozens of cafes in a few keywords and check the ratings of people who had visited one by one. There were cafes with a special theme every day, but there were also cafes that were recommended to be
Arabella's POVI tidied up my room a bit before going downstairs. Looking at the clock in the center of the house, it wasn't lunchtime yet. I woke up earlier than usual, probably because of the influence of the things I wanted to do today."Good morning, Miss." Emi, who was cleaning the house, greeted me politely when I came downstairs. She already looked tired with the vacuum cleaner in her hand, but the middle-aged woman's smile was warm.I greeted her back with the same smile. "Morning, too, Emi. Can I ask you to make breakfast for me?"Emi nodded, swiftly leaning over the vacuum cleaner and wiping her sweat with the handkerchief tucked into her skirt pocket. "Of course, I'll prepare it for Miss."I walked towards the dining room first. From behind, I could hear Emi's steps following me. Before long, the middle-aged woman stepped faster in order to arrive at the pantry first and prepared with unworn gloves and a mouth gag. "What would Miss Arabella like for breakfast?""Something l
Arabella's POV I looked down at my half-drunk drink, then at the crowd centered under the disco lights. I seemed to have gotten myself into trouble by not realizing how much I had drunk. But what harm could it do? I felt lighter now, free from all the burdens that held me back before I came here.I picked up my glass and slightly staggered towards the group of people, following the movements of the people around to mingle and somewhat forcefully move aside when someone blocked my way. "Uh... you guys are too close together. Move aside a bit. I want to pass."I felt people's gazes on my face, but I didn't care and still broke through when there was a gap I could get through. Then, I started moving in rhythm in the space I managed to get between the many people.I looked up slightly, staring at the disco lights hitting me and smelling the various colognes that were mixed together. My head still felt in the clouds, but the euphoria overpowered my other senses and led me to enjoy the tim
Sean's POV.I just got home and realised that there was no one at home. Emi had gone home earlier, as was her work schedule, while Arabella was nowhere to be seen."Bella?" I called her name while checking the various rooms in my house. Starting from the first floor, her room, to the other rooms on the second floor. But the result I got was nothing.I was already feeling panicked when I went back downstairs. I remembered that when I had just entered the house, only the living room had the lights left on, so I could tell that Emi was the last to leave. I immediately called Emi, who answered on the first dial tone."Good afternoon, sir. Can I help you?""Emi, did Bella tell you where she went earlier?" I asked on the phone. Emi immediately said yes and answered in the southern city centre."Is Miss not home yet?" asked Emi before I could hang up.I sighed loudly, getting increasingly panicked as I thought about where exactly Bella was among the places in the city centre. "Yes, but I'll
Sean's POVI stretched before waking up, but someone sleeping with my hand as her pillow blocked me. When I opened my eyes, my heart was full, happy that what I felt last night was not a dream. The softness of Arabella in my arms and the warmth of her presence by my side were so real that I could no longer deny our act of love last night."So beautiful," I murmured, looking at Arabella, who was breathing softly. "How did I get you like this?"I lay on my side, my free hand stroking Arabella's flowing hair. Her face looked so beautiful even though she was still asleep. I can see the imprint I left on her neck and her lips that still haven't healed from our kiss.This was the first time I felt alive and excited after a night spent together. Although Arabella didn't have any experience, she wasn't an amateur and could easily follow my rhythm during sex. She was also not easily frightened as she showed, but more of an adorable curiosity."Does that mean... I'm the first guy to do that wit
Sean's POV"Where are you going?" Arabella asked me as I tried to move my arm from under her head. We had fallen back asleep together, and she willingly lay down next to me, but it turned out that she wasn't asleep as she still woke up easily.I stroked Arabella's hair and kissed her forehead. "Get ready for work. I have an important meeting to attend.""So early in the morning?" She stared out the window where there was no sunlight yet, only the sounds of neighbours doing their morning chores like sweeping the yard and the barking of dogs walking their owners. I usually leave when the sun rises, so she found this situation strange.I smiled as I could see her reluctance to get away from me. Arabella looked adorable with a glum face and lips that looked thinner because she was pulling them down, pouting. "Would you prefer to do it again with me? I will do it rougher and longer like yesterday.""N-no need." Arabella immediately hurried away from the bed and made me laugh. Despite being
