Chapter 3

Auteur: The Puppy Queue
Could Uncle Theo actually be "HeartbrokenDog"?

I immediately ducked my head as my emotions churned.

I had to find out the truth.

"Feeling shy?"

Uncle Theo's lean figure slowly approached me before I felt the couch dip under his weight.

My tongue felt as though it had twisted into a knot as I answered, "A little."

The distinct scent of pinewood—his favorite—wrapped around me. I fumbled for the remote and picked a random blockbuster to watch.

"Uncle Theo, let's watch a movie first!"

"Okay."

Behind me, his fingers tapped against the back of the couch lightly. The pleasing scent of his body wash drifted into my nose, making my heart stir.

"This movie would help get you in the mood."

Were all successful people that meticulous and fussy? They needed to get in the mood first, even for a massage.

As I racked my brain to come up with a reply, the male and female leads appeared on the screen.

They embraced each other before crushing their lips together in a kiss. The suggestive sounds they made were particularly loud in the silent living room.

I hurriedly turned my head away, only to lock eyes with Uncle Theo's heated gaze.

"Does he know we're watching this kind of movie?"

Did Uncle Theo have to be so flirtatious? Also, just who was he referring to?

The atmosphere between us grew charged, and my brain—which wasn't the brightest to begin with—seemed to slow down even more.

Right then, the male lead started to unbutton the female lead's shirt.

Feeling my mouth go dry all of a sudden, I swallowed. A tingling sensation ran down my spine.

Meanwhile, Uncle Theo leaned closer and reached out to tuck a stray lock of hair behing my ear.

His voice drifted into my ear, all seductive and mesmerizing. "Does he know we're about to start?"

With that, his hand trailed from my ear to the back of my neck and further down to the button at my collarbone. His fingers brushed my skin, sending a shock of electricity through me. My heart began to race inexplicably.

Oh, I really hated him.

Why was I already in a haze, with a strange warmth coursing through me? My breath came out in short pants, and my head was spinning.

Yet he sat there, looking perfectly fine. Not just that—he even had an amused look in his eyes, as though he had everything under control.

When his hand finally came to a stop on the button at my collar, I suddenly seized his fingers.

He paused in surprise and glanced at me, an expectant look in his eyes. "Are you going to confess something?"

I thought, "Me, confess? No, you're the one who has to confess. Are you 'HeartbrokenDog'? The man who has been by a girl's side for 15 years and liked her for many, many years?"

I deliberately guided his hand back to my collarbone when he moved it away.

"Uncle Theo, why do you keep asking me about someone else?"

Uncle Theo's hand jerked, and his breath grew quicker. His demeanor reminded me of a dog panicking upon having its secret discovered.

Seeing that, I grew increasingly bold.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that the female lead had planted herself on the male lead's lap. I imitated her movements rather clumsily as I crawled onto Uncle Theo's lap. Then, I started to draw circles on his noticeably tensed thighs.

"Could it be that you're jealous?"

To my surprise, I realized I hadn't been sitting securely, and with my legs still sore, I lost my balance when I moved my hand.

I toppled backward. Just as I thought I had taken things too far this time, a strong arm shot out and supported my back firmly.

With that, I was now lying flat on his arm. I didn't even need to do anything as he carefully pulled me back to the couch.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and his rough fingertips brushed against my slightly parted lips.

"Yeah."

The low grunt was in answer to my earlier question.

"Why are you small everywhere?"

He manhandled me so that I was straddling his hips, and for a moment, I forgot how to move. All I could do was feel the hand that had saved me earlier gently rub the hem of my shirt before reaching for the soft flesh of my waist.

  • When He Becomes My Massage Gun   Chapter 9

    It was a post about the brook Uncle Theo had found me by back then. As it turned out, it was along the route Callum's lookalike passed by every day during his morning run. While he had been preparing for the athletics meet that day, he learned that the brook had been emptied of its water and that a skeleton had been found in the riverbed.Supposedly, it would take seven days for the DNA test results.A bad feeling rose in me as I thought about it.…I dreamed I had gone back to the village I used to live in and saw a younger Uncle Theo. He told me I was the brook while he was the fish swimming in it. Like we used to in the past, we sat on the grass by the brook. Suddenly, a crazed man rushed out from behind us and snatched me up with one arm before running off.As he sprinted, he kept rambling on about something like "50 thousand dollars" and "a fool's wife".Despite the familiar, affectionate way he carried me, all I felt was sheer disgust. It made me nauseous."My dear d

  • When He Becomes My Massage Gun   Chapter 8

    After 15 years, I had long since learned everything there was to know about Uncle Theo and our home.As I climbed the stairs, I allowed my mind to wander. I figured the thought of having him all to myself had first taken root when I was still quite young.Back then, many women had wanted to become my "aunt" and would try to bribe me with candy. As I accepted their treats, I would purposely act as though I were divulging a secret, murmuring into their ears, "But I saw a man entering Uncle Theo's room last night!"Then, I would take great pleasure in watching the mix of emotions flickering across their faces. I used to tell myself I did it because I wanted Uncle Theo to suffer for being so strict with me.In hindsight, I realized the sheer level of joy and smugness I felt then was nothing like the sort of feelings one should have toward their family. It was a sense of possessiveness instead. I simply didn't know better at the time.Now, however, I understood that I just didn't wan

    After an exhausting day, I was practically running on fumes. Hence, now that I was in Uncle Theo's arms, I went limp as all strength seemed to leave me."Uncle Theo, my legs are so sore."The arms holding me tensed before he pretended to sigh. "I'll give you a massage when we get back."If it weren't for the fact that I could feel how tense his arms were, I would've believed he was actually fine.I twisted around so that I could embrace him."Before that, I have a question. Can you answer me, Uncle Theo?""What is it?"I tilted my head back and up. Seeing that, he cooperatively lowered his head to hear me better. As his ear came closer to me, I noticed how it was slowly turning red at the tip."My question is…"I couldn't stop myself from gulping. Uncle Theo was incredibly handsome, and I couldn't bear the thought of some other woman snatching him away from me.I closed my eyes and swayed slightly in his arms. Greedily breathing in his pinewood scent, I snaked my arms around

    After taking me in, Uncle Theo had to go around the village begging for oatmeal so he could feed me.Even when he burned his hands and soot stained them, he was still grinning. He even went as far as risking a cow's wrath to steal me some milk.I had only been three years old. When I recovered enough, the first word out of my mouth was "Uncle".Interesting, wasn't it? Instead of "Mom" or "Dad", I called a 13-year-old "Uncle".The boy, not even as tall as the logs he was burning, froze in surprise. Then he began laughing so hard that tears sprang to his eyes.It had been 15 years since then, and I had never once stopped addressing him as "Uncle Theo".Back then, he was so poor that he resorted to stealing a loaf of bread and being chased across the entire village. Yet he hadn't abandoned me.But now, he didn't want me anymore.…Clinging to the 18 male hosts Mandy had hired, I bawled my eyes out.Sipping on a cocktail, she laughed at how pathetic I was. "Oooh, looks like you l

    Uncle Theo practically dragged me to the underground parking lot. Even just standing there, he exuded an imposing air that seemed to press down on me physically."Get in the car."Before I could react, I felt my body go weightless. In the next second, everything around me seemed to spin as he picked me up and shoved me into the back seat of the car.The cuff of his sleeve swept past my collarbone as he cupped the back of my head tightly."Why?"A storm raged in his eyes as he stared at me sharply, as though he would devour me whole.The car suddenly jerked as it went over a bump in the road. My heart leaped into my throat as I scrambled back in a hurry until my back pressed against something cool—the car door."Come here!" he ordered, his voice shaking. His hands were clenched by sides. "What, are you so unwilling?"Though his lips were quirked up, the smile didn't reach his eyes. Instead, all I could see was the pain and indignance in them.I had never seen Uncle Theo behav

  • When He Becomes My Massage Gun   Chapter 4

    The next second, it was as though a thought had struck Uncle Theo. He suddenly pulled his hand out from under my shirt and gripped it tightly.He looked like he was struggling to hold himself back as he said hoarsely, "I haven't asked you yet, but can I?"A loud gunshot rang through the air. It came from the TV, which was playing what looked like a spy movie in which both leads were hiding their real identities.One of them asked, "Who are you?"I was so shocked that I leaped out of Uncle Theo's lap. "F-Forget about the massage."Still a little out of it, I rushed back to my room and sat down on my bed. I clutched the hem of my shirt. I could still feel the lingering warmth of his palm on it. This was where his hand had slipped in earlier…My heart skipped a beat as waves of embarrassment and frustration crashed through me. Even so, I couldn't stop myself from fantasizing about his display of strength just now.Why had I become like this?At that moment, my screen lit up with
