  Xiu Mei’s eyes widened as she gasped in surprise with Lu Chen’s sudden intimate action. Lu Chen took this chance to pry open her mouth, easily slipping his tongue inside hers. He didn’t waste any second and licked every space of her mouth and sucked her tongue with his.

  Xiu Mei, who was totally unprepared by this kiss, melted like a marshmallow in his arms. She felt like her oxygen was suddenly knocked out of her lungs with the intensity of the kiss. She felt herself turn to jelly while she responded to his kiss.

  Receiving her response, Lu Chen deepened the kiss. The smacking of saliva resounded inside the quiet room, with some groans coming from time to time from the man on the bed. His hands started to roam around her body. He slid his hand upwards on the smooth satin robe she was wearing until he reached her shoulders where he slid his hand in between her skin and robe. Slowly, he slid her robe off exposing the soft and tempting skin underneath.

  He changed their positions, pushing Xiu Mei’s body underneath his. This gave him easier access to remove her nightgown, after sliding off Xiu Mei’s robe, he tugged the spaghetti strap nightgown downwards. His other hand going downwards until he reached her thighs.

  As if he was drunk, Lu Chen attacked the area between her neck and shoulder. He bit and sucked leaving a mark on her body. Xiu Mei was going crazy with Lu Chen’s stimulation. She didn’t even notice that she was already making some whimpering sounds. Both a.d.u.l.ts were too caught up and bewitched with each other that they didn’t notice that fact.

  Lu Chen’s hand slowly pushed up the end of her nightgown. Xiu Mei didn’t feel cold because they were both underneath the blanket but she has never felt Lu Chen’s hands on her skin so clearly like this before. Every place he touched felt as if he was burning with heat, and that warmth was like a drug making her high and crazy.

  Strangely, her PTSD didn’t attack her just like the previous ones. She clearly felt something different. She thought that she had gotten worse, but she didn’t know that her determination to get away from the men and Wan Wan’s plan to violate her affected her mind subconsciously.

  Because she had faced her fears at that moment, despite the fact that her mind shut down her ability to speak, it also lightened the weight inside her heart. Her body didn’t react so strongly against Lu Chen’s stimulations, rather, it got used to him and accepted his actions.

  She was engulfed in his burning warmth and got bewitched by it. And then his hand crawled up, brushing the area between her legs. It was like she was suddenly electrocuted, and Xiu Mei finally let out a very clear m.o.a.n. Added with the fact that she could feel something hard poking her, Xiu Mei was really going crazy right now.

  While she was still drunk in his stimulations, Lu Chen snapped back in the reality the moment he heard Xiu Mei’s m.o.a.n. He surely was turned on but her voice pulled him back from his craziness. Because this was the first time he heard her again after more than two months.

  He paused planting strawberries on her collarbone and neck. With wide eyes, he pulled away and supported his body with his two arms beside her head locking her in between. Her arms that were wrapped around her neck was like a stopper that prevented him to increase their distance from each other even more.

  He stared stunned at his wife, who was showing such a bewitching and languid expression. Her face filled with blush and watery eyes that scream temptation, her mouth slightly parted as she lightly panted, and the blooming reddish hickies that were his artwork looked particularly enticing before him.

  "Wife," He uttered, his voice sounding hoarse and deep with a hint of l.u.s.t mixed in it.

  Xiu Mei still hadn��t returned to her senses, but she looked up and stared straight at the man above her. He was wearing button-down pajamas, which was now clearly unbuttoned before her. She was mesmerized by the view in front of her, as she fell even more under his temptation.

  Lu Chen lowered his head stopping a few centimeters away from her face, his lips hovering above hers. She could feel his breath on her face as he spoke.

  "Your voice…… I heard it." He stated hoarsely.

  But she didn’t hear him. Xiu Mei’s hand subconsciously played with his hair and caressed his neck, earning a groan from Lu Chen. Lu Chen’s fist tightened from the tension and he subconsciously pressed his lower body to hers.

  "Wife……" He m.o.a.ned out. Lu Chen did his best to keep his last strand of control. He could clearly sense that Xiu Mei’s body was not rejecting him, but he still didn’t plan on taking her. Not right now.

  Even though he was the one who started it all and tempted her, Lu Chen didn’t want her first time to be under this kind of circ.u.mstance. Most especially when she’s still very new about this kind of stuff just like him.

  She still has a lot on her plate and he was thinking that maybe, she was somehow stressed that her body wasn’t rejecting his advances at all thinking that this was a way to relieve all her pent-up stress until now. He wasn’t sure if it really was like that but still, he wasn’t planning to take her tonight.

  He brushed his lips over hers and licked her before separating himself from her again. He grimaced as he felt himself in pain because of the tightness in his lower body. It didn’t help that Xiu Mei pulled on his neck closer and bit his shoulder, making the other part of his body even harder.

  He subconsciously bit her earlobe earning another m.o.a.n from her. Lu Chen growled under his breath and flipped their positions again. She clung onto his body so that she wouldn’t fall off. Xiu Mei was slightly shaken and taken aback when she realized she was on top of him again.

  She paused, realizing that it was a different position from their first one. This time, she was straddling him in a sitting position almost making their faces on the same eye level.

  Her upright position caused her disheveled nightgown to slip down even more revealing her bra underneath.

  Lu Chen was enchanted by the sight and his body unconsciously reacted by grinding himself to her. Xiu Mei shuddered and buried herself on his neck while her arms tightened around his shoulders. She m.o.a.ned when she felt something hard brush on herself down there. It was a completely different feeling from before. Her hand on his shoulder tightened.

  "Wife," He whispered in her eat, his warm breath tickling her neck.

  "Wife, I’m sorry." He added. She looked at him with a confused look. He didn’t answer but he pecked her on her lips before he caught her hand into his.

  He lightly squeezed before pulling it carefully downwards.

  "Wife, can you help me?" Lu Chen asked, his voice almost begging. Xiu Mei didn’t understand what he was asking about at first but she froze when she felt something warm—more like burning hot on her palm.

  Her hand stiffened and she subconsciously wanted to pull it away but Lu Chen’s hand lightly covered hers, preventing her from doing that. He leaned closer to her ear again and whispered.

  "Sorry," He repeated. "Just for a second, okay?"

  It was like all her senses were heightened in different levels. She took a sharp breath as she felt Lu Chen guide her hand to slip underneath his clothes. His searing hot skin and…… thing was almost scalding under her touch, yet it lit an undescribable fire within her. The rough skin where her hand was wrapped around was hard and hot, as she subconsciously lightly squeezed it as a response.

  On the other hand, Lu Chen m.o.a.ned in satisfaction and l.u.s.t as soon as Xiu Mei’s hand touched his…… hardened thing. Even though he should’ve felt more comfortable, instead, he turned even crazier and his control was barely hanging by a thread. Her hand resting on the most intimate part of his body was almost like a drug that he had it took a lot of energy and control to stop himself from taking her here and there.

  Lu Chen’s hand tightened over hers, while his other hand supported her back as they kept their straddling position.

  "Wife, really sorry for this one." He apologized again because he was doing this without even asking for her permission. And with that, he started moving her hand just like how he always dreamed and desired to do this with her before. He pressed his lips over hers again, pulling her into another long round of deep kiss.

  The quiet room was soon filled with man’s grunts and almost silent m.o.a.ns from the woman.
