LOVER MONSTER!
40. Greed.

A puff of smoke came out from Demian's open lips. At his fingertips, a burning cigarette circulated the thin smoke around him.

That night, under the thin July moon peeking behind the dark clouds, Demian looked up while pondering boredly. There were many things flashing in Demian's mind, things he wanted to ignore, things he should have thought of, and one thing that was confusing.

Jessica Cerise's whereabouts will probably be in the latter category. Remembering the words that came out of the lips of the girl had already clumped in his mind and made him drown in anxiety.

All of Jessica's questions and remarks rose to the top and became a trending topic in Demian's head. Defeating other important things and unimportant things that filled Demian's mind later.

'Do you like me?' the question came out firmly and straightforwardly. There are no pleasantries. Just answer yes or no. That simple.

However, finding the answer is not as simple as opening your mouth to answer Yes and No. Demian didn't know the right answer to Jessica's question. Demian felt that something more than she liked, perhaps, had covered her lately.

Being with Jessica is fun, that's a sure thing. Demian is happy to receive attention from Jessica, her spilled empathy, and all her clumsy attitude that is cute, cute and ugh, Demian just wants to be with Jessica and disturb her.

Demian never thought she had more affection for Jessica.

Affections of some kind of love...

The love in Demian's mind always leads her to Angela. The girl has been with him since he stepped on the trail in Las Vegas. They began life together in this city, becoming comrades in arms who shared an understanding of the difficulties of life.

Jessica on the other hand, she's just a new person. In order to love her, Demian is not sure that the interest she feels in Jessica will be as deep as the feelings she shares with Angela.

But Demian didn't want to just let Jessica go. Even though he knew the girl's complaint was very true. If Demian continues to orbit around Jessica, bothering her and toying with her, feelings of love can grow on Jessica.

Demian as the cause, will be the one who will hurt Jessica later.

Haaaa~

Demian sighed.

The smell of tobacco airs around Demian, mingling with the night air on Jessica's balcony away from the crowd. Demian turned around and noticed Jessica who was in her room. The girl was following her cafe production report.

Jessica sat cross-legged on the bed, her hair breaking thickly on her back. A tortoise-patterned white pajama wrapped around her slender body.

"In the end, you're gonna hate me, huh?" Demian muttered in the air. His gaze fell on Jessica while his head re-christened the same decision. He couldn't pull himself away from Jessica. Even if that means it, he'll hurt Jessica later. 

Love will grow between two people. That is reasonableness. Be it love in the form of family, friendship, and romance.

It's just that, if it's her and Jessica's closeness, then it's definitely romance, right?

Jessica will love him in exchange for his greed to stay close to Jessica.

Shit, Jessica will love it.

Because the girl has a pure heart. She is not a girl immune to affection. He was destined to fall in love easily. He was destined for heartbreak.

Demian stuck his coals in a flower pot before throwing the rest of the pieces into the trash. He exhaled again. Hoping that carbon dioxide would come out of her lungs, everything about Jessica would evaporate from her mind.

"I'll just play until I'm bored" Demian murmured as he sauntered toward the closed balcony door.

Is correct.

He did not need to think about the situation excessively. She's not Jessica, she just needs to do what she likes. Later, even if Jessica was injured, Demian would accept all the abuse that the girl would spill on her.

The time when Demian shifted her balcony door, Jessica looked up briefly to see the man waltzing into her room. Without opening her voice, Jessica again buried her gaze into a row of numbers on her laptop. Jessica tried desperately to ignore Demian's existence.

Think of the man as a doormat in his room, a display that has no meaning whatsoever. Yep. Focus on the work and...

"Aren't you intent on resting?" demian's voice swept away Jessica's every effort to ignore her existence.

Damn it, why is Demian here now? Does that man have no other place to live?

"Jessica?"

"mm?"

"Are you not bored?"

Jessica pretended to be busying herself while flipping the paper that was on her lap.

"If you're bored, you can go." Jessica drives away subtly. "Don't bother me with your voice. You're noisy!"

If Jessica wasn't going to complain, Demian let out a tired sigh. Without responding to Jessica's remark again, Demian lightly closed Jessica's laptop. He pulled the electronic object and put it on a cold ceramic floor.

Jessica noticed Demij's actions with wide eyes protesting.

Jessica wanted to nag Demian right then and there, about her sassness, the vagueness of her actions, and-about the existence of the man who again harassed her. However, before the word could come out of Jessica's lips, Demian encapsulated Jessica's jaw in her palm.

In a split second after that, Demian crawled up filling the void in front of Jessica and giving the girl a kiss that came suddenly.

Surprise over Jessica. He was propped up on Demian's shoulders who now held his face in a strong and warm summary.

"Demy..." Jessica gasps. He was breathing, face flushed. 

"What the fuck?" Jessica grimaces. His breathing goes up and down, thirsting for oxygen.

In front of Jessica, Demian looked at her without feeling guilty. Instead, the man grinned satisfied at the results of his efforts that had managed to grab Jessica's attention. Now, that pair of emeralds just shined towards him.

"You look adorable, I want to eat you" Demian said. The clapping of her hands that were coiled around Jessica's neck slowly descended onto Jessica's shoulders. He pressed the girl with enough force to make Jessica fall on his pillow.

"What do you want now?" Jessica didn't rebel there. He simply looked at Demian with a glare of eyes that implied annoyance.

Jessica is supposed to be working now, facing her laptop with diligence. He was supposed to be working, but why in the blink of an eye was he under Demian instead?

"I want you to forget your work for a moment" Demian said. She smiled witfully as she once again gave a kiss on Jessica's lips. The girl did not reject him, and Demian just then, turned her aggressiveness slowly into gentleness.

Pagutan by pagutan, her interlocked tongue and how the sweet taste of strawberry and the pungent aroma of tobacco blended in her mouth.

Demian enjoyed the pagutan while occasionally wiping Jessica's dense mane that fell around the nape of the girl. She cupped Jessica's jaw in her palm and felt how soft Jessica's skin was on the tip of her fingers. His heart became hot by passion.

"Mmmm..." Jessica patted Demian's arm with gentleness, asking the man to pull his pagutan loose so that he could take a breath.

"You're interfering with my work" complained Jessica back. He stared at how the sheets of paper were already splattered on the floor. Falling on Demian's leg.

"Do you mind?" Demian chimed in on Jessica's complaint while lightly biting Jessica's chin. His bite crept down centi by centi towards Jessica's pale neck who invited him to anchor his suction there.

Jessica closed her eyes. It's not fair to him. How could he object to the pleasure Demian had instilled in his body.

If Demian continues to tease her, Jessica believes she will melt in the warmth she gives.

"Isn't this better than avoiding me?" Demian raised his face again after carving a trail of kisses on Jessica's porcelain skin.

"Better for you, you mean?" Jessica sneered for a moment before Demian again put a kiss on her lips. A wet kiss that makes saliva seep out of the corner of Jessica's lips.

Demian laughed in the kiss. "You look adorable when your face is red."

"Are you satisfied?" Jessica looked at Demian's dark eyes that sparkled with enthusiasm. That man, if he continued to stare at Jessica like that, it was impossible not to melt.

"That content is a pretty heavy word." Demian lowered her face and kissed Jessica's belly from outside her pajamas. "It took me a long time to achieve satisfaction."

Understanding the meaning of Demian's eyes, Jessica immediately frowned in horror. "No, I don't want to repeat that anymore."

"Eh, why?" Demian held Jessica between her arms. He gave another kiss on Jessica's eyelid. "Didn't you like it?"

The problem is not like it or not. Jessica liked what had happened and it scared her. What if he becomes addicted to that pleasure? What if his feelings change for Demian because of his passionate passion?

No. gabe. That's hazardous.

"What happened that night was just something that was going to happen that night" Jessica said. "If you want to do more, do it to Angela. Isn't she your boyfriend?"

"You always say Angela's Angela, are you jealous?"

"Huh?"

Demian slicked his shoulders. He crawled back up to Jessica and pushed Jessica back to her original position.

"I guess," Demian murmured. He pulled Jessica's foot up onto his shoulder. "You think about it more than I think it's her boyfriend."

"You're his girlfriend, right?" The heat returned to Jessica when she realized where Demian's lips were. The man swept his calf with a bite and a light kiss.

The scene was so frightening because Jessica never imagined the situation would happen to her. Demian who was looking at him with a surge of lust in the eyes. The hot saliva melted in his body.

It's all so unreal.

"Do you think I'll do this to you when I have another woman out there?" Practicing the meaning of his words, Demian also gave a bite that left quite a mark on Jessica's thigh.

Back again, their eyes met within a distance that made Jessica blush. "If Angela was my lover, I wouldn't kiss you."

Not because Demian was a man who put his loyalty first. 

Now, Angela just stared at Demian as a friend to let go of her grievances. Demian had no more meaning in Angela's eyes. Therefore, Demian's relationship does not have a bond that makes him need loyalty.

Demian is free to do anything, in front of and behind Angela.

Demian has complete freedom over which woman will spend the night with him. Jessica was Demian's choice, and Demian did not regret the decision. Demian knew, far behind Jessica's whining and grievances, the girl was just too afraid to admit that they shared the same interests.

"Jessica" whispered Demian in Jessica's reddened ear. "Don't turn me down."

"..."

"Don't run away from me."
