"So, what do you say, Kaoru? Are you interested in me? I want to drive you wild until we're both filled with longing." Marino, the manager of a café, has never fully grasped why everyone is infatuated with Kaoru, her area manager. Sure, he has an impeccable reputation and is calm and competent, but what’s the fuss? However, everything shifted one evening during dinner when Kaoru lowered his defenses and revealed his secret. "I’m so passive. I despise myself for it. It’s absurd, isn’t it? I can’t even take charge in bed at my age." That revelation ignited something profound within her. A throb. A desire. She suddenly felt a strong urge to break him down, to take him to ecstasy, to make him plead for her. She yearned to be the one in control—the one who dominates him in the bedroom. What started as an ordinary dinner evolved into a clandestine, passionate affair that neither of them could have foreseen.
