Chapter 7 - GLOAMING FANTASIA

It had been a week since that hot and steamy night that Xin Yue and Chang Yi had shared together. Xin Yue couldn't help but feel like they were now a couple after that passionate encounter. But when she woke up the next morning to find an empty bed beside her, she was left feeling confused and unsure of how to react.

As she made her way to the office, Xin Yue couldn't shake the feeling of emptiness that lingered within her. She knew that things might be different now between her and Chang Yi, but she never expected to feel so lost and alone.

When she finally saw Chang Yi later that day in the office, her heart skipped a beat. She looked as gorgeous and warm as ever, her smile lighting up the room. Xin Yue felt her knees go weak as memories of their night together flooded her mind.

Despite the undeniable attraction and chemistry between them, Xin Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She wondered if Chang Yi felt the same way she did or if their night together had just been a fleeting moment of passion.

As the days passed, Xin Yue found herself constantly thinking about Chang Yi. She couldn't deny the strong connection she felt towards her, but she was afraid to confront her feelings and risk getting hurt. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear Chang Yi knock on her office door.

Chang Yi entered the room with her usual warm smile, noticing Xin Yue's flushed face. She gently reminded her to have some lunch before they dove into their next meeting. Xin Yue looked up, startled by Chang Yi's presence. She quickly composed herself and nodded, grateful for the reminder. "Thank you, Chang Yi. I've been so caught up in work that I completely forgot about lunch."

Chang Yi chuckled softly, her eyes filled with concern. "You need to take care of yourself, Xin Yue. Remember, we're a team and we're in this together." Chang Yi knew how important it was for Xin Yue to stay focused, especially during such a busy week.

The two women had been working tirelessly to close a tender with Jin Yuen Corporations, one of the biggest shopping malls in the city. Xin Yue and her brother had their sights set on the mall's expansion project construction deals, knowing that it would greatly increase their company's value if they could secure the contract.

As they sat down to eat, Chang Yi couldn't help but admire Xin Yue's dedication and drive. She had always been impressed by Xin Yue's ability to juggle multiple tasks and handle high-pressure situations with grace. Chang Yi knew that Xin Yue's hard work and determination were what made her such a valuable asset to the company.

After lunch, they dove into their next meeting, going over the details of the tender and discussing their strategy for closing the deal. Chang Yi was always impressed by Xin Yue's attention to detail and her ability to think outside the box. She knew that Xin Yue's creativity and innovation were what set her apart from the rest.

However, as they worked late into the night, the lines between professional and personal started to blur. Xin Yue found herself unable to resist the pull of Chang Yi's presence. She longed to touch her, to feel her warmth and embrace. The tension between them was palpable, and Xin Yue knew that Chang Yi felt it too.

Chang Yi, for her part, tried to maintain a professional demeanor. She didn't want to make Xin Yue uncomfortable or jeopardize their working relationship. But as Xin Yue's fingers accidentally stroked her arm, Chang Yi couldn't deny the spark of attraction that flared between them.

As the days passed, their interactions became more charged with unspoken desire. Chang Yi found herself longing for Xin Yue's touch, for the intimacy that she knew was just out of reach. Chang Yi's breath caught in her throat, and she knew that she couldn't hold back any longer.

There was a thick tension in the air, as they stood on the precipice of something unknown and exhilarating. Their embrace was tentative at first, as if they were both afraid to fully give in to their desires. But as they held each other, their bodies pressed close, the walls they had built around themselves began to crumble. It was as if a dam had burst, and a rush of emotions flooded through them both.

The touch of their skin against each other sent shivers down their spines, igniting a fire that had long been smoldering within them. Their inhibitions melted away, leaving only raw desire in its wake. They were consumed by the passion that burned between them, unable to resist the pull of their attraction any longer.

Their lips met in a searing kiss, a collision of longing and need that threatened to consume them both. In that moment, they knew that they had crossed a line that they could never come back from. But they didn't care. All that mattered was the electricity that crackled between them, the heat that enveloped them in its embrace.

The room was dimly lit, shadows dancing across the walls as they moved together, their bodies pressed close, their breath mingling in the air. Every touch sent shivers down their spines, every kiss ignited a fire that burned hotter and hotter with each passing moment.

Their hands roamed freely, exploring every inch of each other's bodies with a hunger that seemed insatiable. They were consumed by a need for each other, a need that transcended the physical and delved deep into the depths of their souls. It was a connection that went beyond words, beyond reason, beyond anything they had ever experienced before.

As they moved together, their movements became more urgent, more desperate. They needed each other with a ferocity that was almost painful in its intensity. Their passion was like a storm, wild and uncontrollable, threatening to consume them both in its fiery embrace.
