Chapter 176 - Utterly & Completely (1/2)

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.
