Meanwhile in the Peach Estates……

  Xu Mey opened her eyes when the soft golden rays of the sun caressed her jade-like skin. She found herself on her comfy bed with her head laying on top of Ye Jie’s bare chest. She didn’t feel shy about it at all instead, she felt his strong heartbeat the most comforting.

  For a long while, Xu Mey kept looking at Ye Jie’s bare upper body while with her ear still pressed against his heart. It wasn’t the first time that she looked at his muscles but she felt fascinated by him with every look. Under the soft pearl-like rays of the sun cascading through the sheer drapes, Ye Jie’s body appeared to be twinkling like crystals. His muscles looked so inviting that Xu Mey had the urge to touch them again like she always does.

  She lifted her hesitating fingers to press against his abs but a single thought made her halt her movements mid-air. ’His ex must have loved to touch him as well……’ She felt sour all of a sudden.

  But then she heard her own heart calling, ’So what? Can’t you see where you are? Can’t you hear his heartbeat? That’s yours now. He’s yours now!’


  Xu Mey closed her eyes and listened attentively to Ye Jie’s heartbeat.

  Ba-thump!

  Ba-thump!

  Ba-thump!

  Her lips curled upwards in a beautiful smile at that sound as she said to herself, ’Yes, he’s surely mine. He’s perfect. But this perfect man is all mine to keep.’ With that thought, she lifted her fingers and finally traced her fingers over his broad and hard chest and moved lower to the valley and ridges of his abdomen. It was hard and yet felt smooth.

  "Someone is a bit spicy early in the morning." When Xu Mey heard Ye Jie low husky voice, her hands stopped. She bit her tongue and pulled her hand back from his, oh so tempting body.

  Ye Jie straight pulled her over his own body and that’s when Xu Mey noticed that she was wearing a red silk nightgown. As for where it came from? Xu Mey couldn’t remember at all. Well, she realized that she didn’t even remember how they got home but the soreness in her body told her clearly that the previous night was not simple at all.

  Ye Jie tucked her wild hair behind her ear and looked straight into her eyes. "Hi, baby!"

  Those eyes tongue-tied her. His eyes narrowed infinitesimally searching for something in her eyes. His fastened gaze on her made Xu Mey see an unfathomable emotion like a wild hunger. Xu Mey licked her dry lips. Bad move!

  Something flickered in his eyes. "Baby, do you know what you’re turning me into?" His voice felt huskier to Xu Mey.

  She puckered her lips and tilted her head to a side asking innocently, "How would I know that, Ah-Jie?"

  Ye Jie arched a single brow. "Ah-Jie? What happened to Jie darling?"

  Xu Mey frowned. "Jie darling? What are you talking about?" While she was asking that question, her own voice came running to her mind, ’Jie darling! Give your baby a hug.’ Xu Mey stiffened a bit but she didn’t let it show on her face. She really wanted to bang her head against the wall.

  Ye Jie tightened his arms around her body, pressing her against his own. "So, my baby doesn’t remember what happened last night?"

  Xu Mey wiggled a bit in his embrace trying to escape from his piercing gaze that made her feel hot all over. "I don’t remember anything. I think I drank a lot last night. So, I can’t help it."

  "Baby, be careful! You’re hurting your Ah-Jie’s feelings. How can you forget our last night?" His sensual voice made Xu Mey feel breathless.

  Xu Mey suddenly stopped struggling in his arms and brushed his lips with her fingers.

  It was a single brush with her softs fingertips.

  And……

  It was all she needed.

  Ye Jie’s eyes clouded as he loosened his grip on her body. Xu Mey could feel the way his muscles tensed under her touch. This sight reminded her of another moment from last night when she felt victorious for having the same effect on him that he had on her.

  She got her focus back and instantly ran away from Ye Jie’s grasp towards the bathroom. She leaned against the bathroom door with her heart drumming against her chest. Her breathing was uneven and her body felt deprived for some reason.

  She didn’t realize that she forgot to lock the bathroom door until Ye Jie pushed open the door slowly and closed it behind him saying, "Tsk…… Baby, I’m already tangled around your fingers. You don’t have to make me run behind you as well."

  Xu Mey took a step back while Ye Jie took a step ahead. Xu Mey’s back touched the shower glass making her feel its cool surface. But her front was burning with the intensity of Ye Jie’s gaze.

  Ye Jie placed one hand on the glass behind her and his other hand touched the belt of her silk nightgown, untying it. "What are you doing?" Xu Mey’s voice came out breathy.

  With the untied gown, Xu Mey’s naked body was right before Ye Jie. He placed his hands on her waist stroking it in an up and down motion. "I need to remind you of the story of Jie darling, my dear baby." He whispered near her ear making her breath hitch and her toes curl.

  Xu Mey closed her eyes as she felt the urge to let him remind her every single detail of last night. With that thought, when she opened her eyes again, there was no bashfulness in them. Her eyes only held the same passion that he had in his.

  Xu Mey pressed her finger on his face and her hand trailed down to his throat, down to his smooth expanse of chest making him quiver while his chest heaved taking a harsh breath.

  His hand shot up to hold hers as he whispered, "As I said, someone is surely spicy today." With that, his arms were around her. He hauled her body off the ground and made her legs wrapped around his waist as his lips caught hers.

  His lips tasted so sweet to Xu Mey that she felt like it was a sin. But it was a sin, that she wanted to commit over and over and over again now. His lips devoured hers while his tongue claimed her mouth. A fight of greed brewed between their tongues- a fight to conquer the other person and when they pulled back to take a breath and looked into each other’s eyes, they realized that they had both lost this fight of conquering to each other.

  But there was no regret. It wasn’t needed. For Xu Mey, if the winning person was her Ah-Jie then there was no harm in losing. As for Ye Jie, he had won the battle the moment he lost himself to Xu Mey.

  Both of them seemed to have come to the conclusion that no matter who won between both of them, the victory will still belong to both of them. Because…… He was hers and she was his……

  Ye Jie brought her inside the shower partition and closed the glass door before turning the shower on. As water droplets trickled down their bodies, Xu Mey felt every line of his hard body against her soft one. She roamed her hand all over his body to claim him as his own. His smooth, powerful torso, every single inch was claimed for her own self.

  Pulling away from him, Xu Mey’s lips raced down to his jawline, to his throat and neck making him growl when she bit his flesh over his shoulder. After biting him, she kissed the same spot and licked it. It was the exact same move that he did to her when he was upset with her.

  She lifted her face and saw her creation on his body. Her marks on his body. It was a clear announcement to the world that he was hers! She smirked in satisfaction saying, "Mine." It made Ye Jie chuckle at her antics.

  But he didn’t mind it even a bit. He was more than glad to see her marks painting his body. He claimed her mouth again and said against her lips, "What about what’s mine?"

  "Your baby is all yours," she said coyishly.

  Ye Jie pushed her wet body against the wall behind her as Xu Mey gazed at Ye Jie towering above him.

  "Mey." Xu Mey felt like today was the first time, her name sounded for what it’s meaning meant; beautiful.

  "Jie." She said his name in a plea.

  They moved as claiming each other’s lips and exploring the unseen world.

  "Mey." Ye Jie breathed out her name again. "I love you." He whispered near her ear and Xu Mey felt her body go limp.

  He trailed kisses down her throat. Even standing under the cold water, Xu Mey felt like being burned in a storm of flames. But the flames weren’t painful at all rather they were something she craved for.

  A need burned inside her as a thrill ran in her body. Whenever she was with Ye Jie, she felt precious as if his every touch or gaze screamed that she was really worth all of it.

  Never had in her life anyone held her in the gentle manner that he did. He not only showed her what love, passion or desire felt like, he also showed her what being cherished felt like. And she wanted to return all of it to him as well. So, he palmed his face and kissed him long and hard letting him know that he had changed her to the point that she wasn’t able to recognize her own reflection anymore.

  He was making her fall in love. Not just with himself. He made her fall in love with her own self and it was an amazing feeling for her. New. Exciting. And yet damn addicting.

  Xu Mey moaned harder when Ye Jie pushed himself in her but this time, she welcomed the pain gladly. The feeling of being deprived faded away as she felt full inside utterly and completely.

  She threw her head back when she came and screamed, "Jie darling!" making Ye Jie smirk. Even when the memory of screaming, "Jie darling!" over and over again last night came to her mind, Xu Mey didn’t feel shy or nervous.

  Because all the thoughts were lost with the way Ye Jie looked at her face while she came right before him. "I guess, my baby finally remember." Xu Mey punched his chest playfully making him chuckle.
