Xia Yu felt a hand on her body. She shook her head and rubbed it on the pillow. It must be her illusion but when the hand came for her waist, her eyes widened.
"You! What are you doing?" Xia Yu struggled only to be held by him tightly.
"I am making a place to sleep!" His warm breaths full of alcohol touched her face, making her stunned. He was drunk! His red face and seductive eyes told her she should run away. "Who sleeps horizontally on the bed. Even your feet were dangling." She blinked and remembered that she was talking to herself when she fell asleep.
So he was putting her on the left side so that he could sleep beside her? The thought calmed her a bit. But she could not let her guards down.
"I.. let me." She struggled again but he had already put her on the left side of the bed. But after that, he did not let her go! He hovered over her and kept staring at her.
The heated gaze made her blush. Her whole body started to burn from the heat coming from his body. His one palm was on her waist while the other hand moved to her cheeks. Despite the desire in his eyes, he was touching her tenderly. Her breath quickened. Her heart had reached her throat.
"Han.. Han Zhou.."
"You look beautiful these days! Have you gained some weight?" Does gaining weight make people beautiful? She would have cursed him if she was not afraid. Indeed, Lei Mei was thinner. Despite being twins, their body had subtle differences if looked carefully.
"And your nose.. It did not look artificial like before." his hand was moving on her body. But the fear of getting exposed did not let her feel it. Her face paled.
"That…"
"Sssh!" his fingers moved to her lips. He rubbed her soft lips tenderly. His eyes could not move away. He never knew those lips look so desirable. "I am your husband. And did not you want this from the start. Why are you running away from me these days?" he had leaned. She could already feel his breath on her skin. It burnt her.
She should run! But how? At some point, he had hovered her completely with his legs on both sides of her waist.
"But you did not want me! Remember.. You never liked me." the man paused, just an inch away from her lips. He slowly distanced his face so he could see in her eyes.
"That was because you were noisy and had a bad temper." he grumbled. "You have always created troubles for me in school. Did you forget how you used to trouble my friends too?" she had not forgotten! But she did not know from the start. Xia Yu cried without tears in her eyes. Why was she not told that they shared the same school!
She had believed that it was an arranged marriage decided by his grandfather.
"I…"
"But you are better now. Even if it is a tactic to gain my approval, it is good." he nodded and then rubbed her cheeks. "We are married. We should forget our past and try to." he leaned again, the message was clear.
If they were married, they should have sex. Her whole body went cold with that thought. She was going to have sex with her brother in law??!!!
So what if her relationship with her sister was broken. She was still his sister in law.
"Wait…" she shouted strongly but he had already reached her lips. He bit her lower lip to silence her.
She struggled again but she was no match for him. His weight was not letting her move. And those lips were toxicating.
"Ha.." her voice drowned. He used the chance to enter her mouth. She could taste the lingering wine from his tongue. It stunned her, froze her. And then his mouth gently closed around her upper lip, and softly, very softly, he shaped it with his own.
His lips were warm. She smelled tobacco again. His touch was making her sense dull perhaps. Perhaps she was expecting some rough, bruising contact, full of force that left her scarred.
His hands had come up and wrapped around her bare nape. And the small touch broke all the walls she had made all this time.
He took her lower lip between his teeth and lightly bit. His tongue stroked away the injury, and his lower body pushed forward, so they were touching from lips to knees. So close. Could he feel the heat of her legs through her thin nightdress? The possibility made her breath go. He made a soft noise. It broke through her defenses and it blew her away. She was all but a young girl who had never shared this intimacy from any man.
She had thought men made such noises when kissing. But she had been wrong. Only Han made such nosies. Others made noises that sounded angry.
Finding her distraction, his hand slid around to cup her head, while his other hand caressed her bare nape.
These sensations opened something within her. And his mouth opened, too, so the kiss became complex, dizzying. It spilled through her like the song in the meadows.. She could not follow it in her head, but she was kissing him back now. How? She had never kissed someone before. Yet she felt her body moving on her own accord. She was ravenous for his touch. Those warm touches, her tongue started to follow his, as if playing a game of tag. Their lips moved rhythmically as if dancing on some foreign tune.
A strange touch started to move on her waist. Her mind was dull so she did not notice it before but now that the kiss had ended, her eyes widened and she gasped! He… he was..
He felt the change in her and laughed.
"It is a normal reaction a husband gets after kissing his wife!"
