"Let go of my hand. I'm not going anywhere."
"No way, I don't trust you."
"You!"
"Shh! Quiet down, Doctor. See, people are starting to look." The speaker grinned and even smiled at the other residents of the condo before pulling Dr. Premsinee into the elevator. Curious eyes followed them, wondering why the doctor had her hand held by a famous actress all the time.
Inside the crowded elevator, everyone was eager to get to their rooms and relax, leaving little space and forcing them to stand close together. Dr. Premsinee had no choice but to stand pressed against the actress, who still refused to remove her tinted sunglasses. To make matters worse, the actress's free hand wrapped around her waist.
The tighter the space, the closer they got, and the faint scent of perfume stirred something in her heart.
"Let go..."
"I can't. It's crowded. Are you really that uncomfortable being close to me?" Naphak whispered in a calm voice. Dr. Premsinee acted as if she were a germ that needed to be avoided at all costs.
"Yes, I am," she whispered back just as calmly. Underneath the actress's tinted sunglasses, there was surely some displeasure, as Dr. Premsinee could feel the grip on her waist tightened.
"Then you'll just have to stay uncomfortable."
"You!"
"Shh! Don't you see people are watching us, Doctor?"
The soft whisper near her ear made Dr. Premsinee freeze. She tried to keep a neutral expression, hiding the blush creeping up her face.
Every time the beautiful face came close, she couldn't help but remember the joy of that first night
As soon as the elevator reached their floor, Dr. Premsinee tried to shake off the actress's grip again. But somehow, the actress had a firm hold, making it nearly impossible for her to escape.
"Let go. I'm going back to my room."
"Go to my room."
"I'm not going!"
"You don't have to, but I might leak the photos on my pho..."
"Enough! Take me to your room," she said, frustrated but helpless. The woman holding her had a powerful bargaining chip.
While Dr. Premsinee was vexed, the actress smiled. Behind her tinted sunglasses, her eyes sparkled with happiness as she looked at the beautiful doctor beside her.
"We're here, doctor."
Dr. Premsinee was surprised at how close the actress's room was to hers—just three doors away. She'd once asked the previous owner to buy it because of the view she liked so much, but they refused to sell it or set a very high price.
Once inside and with the door closed, the actress finally released her grip. Naphak let the doctor, still in her gown, stand in the living room while she went to pour a glass of cold water.
Dr. Premsinee looked around the room, taking in the decor she hadn't noticed the morning she woke up naked.
Now, she had the chance to explore. The room wasn't heavily decorated, mostly retaining the original condo design with minimal furnishings. The living room had just a sofa and a TV, and the kitchen area was almost empty.
"Let's get this over with. I don't have much time." Dr. Premsinee ignored the glass of water on the coffee table. She wanted to settle the matter quickly.
"Why the rush?"
"You!"
"Don't raise your voice, doctor. What if my hand slips and shares the photos..."
"Stop! What kind of person are you to do something so disgusting?"
"Disgusting? The photos of you sleeping are beautiful."
Naphak's teasing words were pushing Dr. Premsinee to her limit. The actress's smiling face showed no concern for the trouble she was causing, making the doctor feel even worse.
"Enough!"
"Where are you going?" The actress grabbed Dr. Premsinee's hand as she turned to leave but then let go as she remembered something.
"I'm leaving!"
"If you think you can walk out of this room, go ahead."
Dr. Premsinee knew she couldn't leave. The high-security condo required the owner's code to open the door, even from the inside, as it required one to enter a code before they could open the door.
"You...!"
"Pat. My name is Pat, not 'you,' Doctor."
"I'm older than you. I know how to speak properly."
"So, should I call you 'P' Prem' since you're older?" Naphak smiled at the doctor, whose face showed a mix of calm and irritation. The more she teased, the more the doctor showed her true emotions.
Even when she's annoyed, she's still pleasing to the eye...
"Can we talk about the photos now?" Dr. Premsinee took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and not react to Naphak's provocations.
"Which photos, P' Prem?" Naphak knew but wanted to see the
doctor's angry face.
"The ones you took while I was sleeping."
"I don't remember taking anything while you were sleeping. I only remember taking them when we were happy together, and you fell asleep from exhaustion..."
Smack!
"What do you want? Why are you doing this?"
The sound of the slap echoed, showing how angry Dr. Premsinee was. She stared at the actress, who now had a handprint on her face, looking back at her calmly.
"I told you, I want you," Naphak's voice was sincere.
"Hey, let go of me!"
Dr. Premsinee's wrist was grabbed, making her back off, and she plopped on the sofa when the woman in front of her prevented her from going anywhere.
"You know? I always mean what I say, and I'll always do what I say."
"You don't want me. You just don't want me to marry Wat for your friend's sake, right?"
"Think what you want, but you have to stay with me."
Their eyes locked, filled with various emotions, but Naphak knew that anger and dislike were among them.
"I'm not staying!"
"If you leave, I can't guarantee when the photos will get out..."
"You!"
"Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have a video of you enjoying yourself too."
"You're crazy!"
"I have plenty of crazy things up my sleeves. You're mine now, don't forget."
The soft whisper from the woman leaning in made Dr. Premsinee want to slap her again, but she couldn't. Her lips were suddenly covered by Naphak's.
The kiss was slow and gentle, sweet enough to make Dr. Premsinee, who had tightly closed her lips, slowly relax and respond. The familiarity of the kiss made her give in.
It wasn't a harsh kiss like in Thai novels where the hero forced the heroine, but a tender one that they both shared.
But as Naphak was getting lost in the kiss, enjoying the doctor's response, she suddenly yelped and pulled back, her tongue bitten.
"Ouch! Why did you bite my tongue? It hurts!" The actress cried.
Naphak complained like a child, making a face that made Dr. Premsinee laugh. It was the first time she saw this side of the actress, different from the teasing one that always annoyed her.
"Serves you right."
"What kind of doctor hurts people and doesn't take responsibility? I don't even know if it's bleeding."
"Why are you touching it with your hand? It's dirty."
"I don't know where is the wound."
"Open your mouth and stick out your tongue."
The beautiful doctor maintained a calm expression, but the person whose chin she was holding couldn't take their eyes off her face. Naphak's face remained still, but her eyes revealed that she felt an intense desire to possess this woman, so much so that she was sometimes taken aback by her own thoughts.
"P' Prem, is there any wound?" Nam asked softly, her enticing gaze making Dr. Premsinee unable to help but meet her eyes thoughtfully. If this woman wasn't so mischievous or trying to make her feel deeply troubled, she'd have to admit that she was quite charming.
It was as if there were many personalities in her to explore, not just the sharp beauty she portrayed in dramas.
Most importantly, she expressed her feelings openly. If she liked women, she said so without hiding her feelings.
"No, there isn't."
"Then let's have dinner together. I've already bought everything."
"Okay," Dr. Premsinee replied with a calm face, but she knew that something inside her had changed.
She didn't refuse because she was afraid this villainess would spread unflattering images of her, right?
Or was it because of the words, "You're mine," that made her feel strange?
No one had ever used words to claim ownership of her before.
And she couldn't deny that this villainess was the first person she'd given something valuable to, even if it was half willingly and half unwillingly.
Dr. Premsinee looked at the food on the table with surprise. At first, she didn't see anything, but it seemed this villainess had indeed prepared as she said. The Japanese food was neatly arranged, probably while she was exploring the room. The room's owner must've taken the opportunity to prepare the dinner she'd bought and stored.
"Do you know this is our first date?" Naphak said.
"Who said it's a date?"
"I did. For me, it's a date."
Dr. Premsinee didn't respond further because she was tired and frustrated with the actress's words. This woman seemed stubborn or persistent, wanting something and going for it without caring if the other party was willing.
But as a doctor, she could tell that this person was brave enough to take responsibility for her actions. Her words were sincere, but there was something conflicting in her feelings. It was because she approached her to prevent her friend from being disappointed if she married the man who got her friend pregnant.
The dinner went smoothly without any arguments, except for the villainess constantly picking up different sushi pieces and giving them to the doctor, who had to eat them under her threatening gaze.
There was only one thing Naphak used to threaten Dr. Premsinee...
"Do you know what you're doing is wrong?" The doctor asked the actress.
"What did I do?"
"Blackmailing me," Dr. Premsinee said evenly, trying to stay composed. She hoped her words might make this villainess change her mind about using the photos to threaten her.
"I didn't blackmail you. I didn't ask for money from you."
"You didn't ask for money, but you still threatened me."
"I didn't. I just wanted you to know that my finger might accidentally press the wrong button at any time."
The actress's teasing tone made Dr. Premsinee want to do something, but she could only sit and look at her with a calm expression. She knew this woman was deliberately provoking her to show anger because every time she showed frustration, she saw the actress's bright eyes or even a look of joy.
"You..."
"Are you going to say I'm pretty and cute? Go on because I think I'm hot."
"You're annoying!"
"I accept the compliment."
Dr. Premsinee chose to sit quietly, not responding further because every time, she ended up losing to the woman in front of her, who continued to eat sushi comfortably.
Beautiful but annoying might be the words that best describe this captivating villainess.
"When will you let me go back to my room?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back, P' Prem?"
"I want to rest. I've been working all day."
"Okay, wait a moment while I pack my things."
"Why?"
"I'm going to sleep with you," she said, quickly walking to the bedroom, leaving Dr. Premsinee slightly flustered by her own words.
Sleep with you. Sleep with you. It means just sleeping, right?
Dr. Premsinee had to reluctantly let the actress into her private room, where only close friends were allowed. She valued her privacy but couldn't refuse this woman, especially when she held such leverage. One day, she'd get the photo back and keep it in the safest place.
"P' Prem, should I shower in the bedroom or..."
"The bathroom outside."
Dr. Premsinee walked away into the bedroom, but Naphak smiled happily, exploring the room, which was decorated in a simple style with soft cream tones. It seemed their tastes were quite similar.
Naphak looked at the photo frames near the large TV with a smile. It seemed the doctor had arranged every picture neatly, from childhood to adolescence, to photos with her medical friends, and finally, graduation photos with family and classmates, all smiling happily.
She had to admit that the doctor's group was good-looking and could all enter the entertainment industry.
After showering and taking care of her personal business, wearing a robe over her inner clothes, she knocked on the bedroom door. But it seemed the room's owner didn't care about the noise, making her knock more insistently.
Soon, the door opened, and the beautiful doctor showed a peeved face. But Naphak didn't back down from the look that said she was rude. Her motto was, 'If you're aiming for something, do it to the best of your ability.' She'd prove whether the women's artifices in shown dramas would work on Dr. Premsinee.
"Who told you to come into my room?"
"Where should I sleep then?"
"The sofa outside."
"I can't sleep on the sofa. It'll hurt my back."
"Hey!" Dr. Premsinee shook her head in exasperation as the person she wished to kick out of the room lay on the bed, claiming space nonchalantly and even smiling teasingly.
"P' Prem, hurry up and come to bed. Staying up late makes you age faster."
"You can shut your mouth a bit, you know?" She couldn't help but say, letting the actress know that she didn't like or want to hear her words.
But then, as Dr. Premsinee was about to get some lotion to moisturize her skin, she stopped. She saw the woman on the bed walk out and remove her robe, revealing a provocative black see-through mesh nightgown that made her face flush and her heart beat strangely.
She'd never felt shy around women before, but now she was blushing and had to turn away to hide her reddening face.
"Where should I put the robe?" The soft voice from behind made Dr. Premsinee startle slightly before telling her to hang it in the corner of the room where a rack was placed.
The red face reflected in the large mirror made Naphak pleased, so she didn't bother to hang the robe but instead moved closer, pressing against her back and quickly kissing both cheeks.
Kissing her when she's off guard is the best
"You!"
"Your cheeks are so soft and smell good."
"Don't you have a better nightgown?" Dr. Premsinee asked, feeling strange and not expecting this villain to have such a seductive nightgown.
"Doesn't you like it? Or do I not look good in it?"
"What does it have to do with whether I like it or not?"
"I chose this nightgown just for you." The honeyed voice and the light breath on her ear made Dr. Premsinee's face even redder. She doesn't know where to turn her face to.
"I don't like this kind of nightgown..." And why did she have to say something like that? Now, the person behind her moved to stand in front, trying to make eye contact, making Dr. Premsinee even more determined to avoid looking because her heart was beating too fast.
"Then what kind of nightgown do you want me to wear?"
"I'm going to bed now," she said, escaping to the bed. She chose the side against the wall and turned her back, thinking it was the best option. Otherwise, the strange feelings would confuse her even more.
"P' Prem, aren't you going to take off your robe?"
There was no response from the person lying with their back turned, but Naphak didn't feel upset. Instead, she felt more satisfied seeing Dr. Premsinee's reaction, which wasn't as indifferent as she'd feared.
She'd gone out of her way to buy a revealing nightgown. It wouldn't be wrong to say she intended to seduce the beautiful doctor. After all, she wanted to see if the doctor's claim of not liking women would hold true.
And now she knew. The one who said they didn't like women was blushing, making Naphak's heart swell with joy.
She was right to invest in that sexy nightgown she never thought she'd wear. Now, she figured she needed to buy six more, one for each night of the week, because, one day, Dr. Premsinee wouldn't be able to resist and would definitely touch her.
So, was she seducing Dr. Premsinee to make her her first, just as she was the doctor's first?
