Chapter 4

"Mr. Johnson, I can't do this."

Sophia needed the money, but not like this.

She handed the envelope back to him.

Michael was taken aback by her firm refusal. He decided to play his ace, so he asked, "What, you weren't happy with last night?"

His bluntness made Sophia blush. She felt like she had been the one taken advantage of, being with him all night.

Seeing her silence, Michael pressed on, "You said you wanted to pay. My rate for a night is a hundred thousand dollars. How do you plan to pay?"

A hundred thousand dollars! Sophia's eyes widened. That was way too much.

She had no choice but to agree.

Sophia remembered the wild night, her ears burning at the thought.

It had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, and she hadn't expected it to lead to this.

She hesitated. She had enjoyed that night, and agreeing to this wouldn't really harm her.

Michael was handsome, with a great body, and he could give her immense pleasure. Being with him wasn't a loss.

But the title of "mistress" was hard to swallow. If word got out, how would she face anyone?

Sensing her hesitation, Michael gently coaxed, "This is a secret between us. No one else will know. If you ever get tired of this arrangement, you can leave anytime."

Sophia couldn't help but be tempted, despite her previous disdain for such a role.

The Horizon Corporation was a place many aspired to work at. Securing her position there was hard to refuse.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sophia agreed. She picked up a pen and signed her name.

She gave herself an excuse, "I'll pay you back once I've saved enough."

Seeing Sophia sign, Michael breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter the reason, Sophia had agreed. The future could be dealt with later.

If it were any other woman, she wouldn't have thought so much and would have agreed immediately.

Michael started the car and drove towards a villa on the hillside.

Not knowing where they were headed, Sophia sat silently in the passenger seat, adhering to her role as a mistress.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, Sophia couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

Michael was likely wealthier than she had imagined, already the head of the Horizon Corporation at such a young age.

Seeing Sophia's astonished expression, Michael smirked and got out of the car first.

Michael said, "No one usually comes here. If you want, you can move in."

Michael walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for her like a gentleman.

Feeling flattered in her new role, Sophia thanked him and got out of the car. "No, thanks. My place is closer to the office. It's just more convenient."

If she moved in, rumors would spread at the office within days. An ordinary intern living in a standalone villa in the suburbs would be a clear sign she was being kept.

Michael wasn't surprised by her refusal. It would have been strange if she had agreed.

Michael occasionally stayed at the villa, and it was always clean and tidy.

As soon as they stepped inside, Michael pulled Sophia into his arms and kissed her deeply.

The sudden move startled Sophia, and she instinctively tried to push him away. Remembering she had signed the papers, she relaxed.

Michael's kiss was intense and passionate, leaving Sophia weak and barely able to stand. She had to rely on Michael's strength to stay upright.

The room was dimly lit, enhancing the already intimate atmosphere.

Michael pulled back, his forehead resting against Sophia's. He wiped the moisture from her lips and chuckled at her flushed ears.

Then he scooped her up and laid her on the soft bed.

Michael climbed on top of her, his warm lips trailing down her neck, his hot breath making her shiver.

Her clothes had long disappeared, and being naked in front of Michael for the second time made Sophia self-conscious. She tried to cover her chest, but Michael wouldn't allow it.

He pinned her hands above her head, exposing her body to his gaze.

Michael lowered his head and took her nipple into his mouth, gently biting it.

Sophia squirmed beneath him, trying to ease the growing tension inside her.

For Michael, arousing a woman was so easy.

Satisfied with the sight of her glistening nipples, Michael began undressing.

Once they were both naked, Michael positioned his penis out her vagina.

He kissed Sophia again as he slowly entered her.

Both of them groaned as he slid inside, Sophia tightening around him.

Despite having been intimate before, the change in their relationship made Sophia uneasy. But the pleasure soon made her forget, her body responding eagerly.

Michael continued to thrust, watching her bite her finger and laugh softly.

He leaned down to her ear and murmured, "Don't hold back. Let it out."

Michael's hand caressed her breasts, feeling the soft flesh spill through his fingers.

After a while, he resisted the urge to climax, flipping Sophia onto her stomach.

He entered her from behind, reaching deeper.

Sophia's mind went blank, her soft moans spurring Michael on.

"Take it easy," she pleaded, pushing against his chest.

To Michael, her actions were like an aphrodisiac.

He pinned her hands behind her back, pressing her upper body against his, feeling their heat.
