33 What Lovers Do (1/2)
”W-What are you doing?” Khan Bojing asked as Li Wei pressed him against the wall. Her petite frame was against him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He tried to push her away, but she stubbornly held onto him.
This was the closest she's ever voluntarily been to him. Surprisingly, his fragrance was quite pleasant to her. Being in his arms was similar to being wrapped in a freshly washed blanket. She could feel the heat radiating off his body onto her. She wasn't sure what it was, but she said something that never once occurred in her wildest imagination, ”You. I want to spend a night with you.”
”...” His eyes blanked slowly, not in disgust as she anticipated, but in confusion. He seemed to ponder for a moment before he replied slowly, ”You don't know what you're saying. Go in and rest.”
Li Wei shook her head in protest. ”A sip of wine is nothing to me. I know exactly what I'm proposing.”
”This... You can't just demand something like that.” His finger tapped on her forehead, as if attempting to knock some sense into her. ”This isn't like you, Li Wei.”
She had been saving herself for Hua Xifeng, but at this moment she no longer cared about staying chaste. What a waste of her efforts. In a taunting voice, she asked him, ”Then what's like me? Something like this?”
She used his surprise to her advantage, capturing him in her grasp. She boldly pulled onto his collar so he had to bend, and she met his lips halfway. At first, she lightly kissed him, testing out how it felt to kiss. Unlike his cold attitude towards her, his lips were unbelievably soft. Once she got his taste, she craved for more. She wanted to find out just how much sweeter this man could be, this person who was like a forbidden fruit she stole from heaven.
”Stay still,” She ordered as she pulled back slightly just enough to take a breath before her tongue slipped inside, sealing their second kiss. Her naughty hands had undone the bun on his head, allowing his hair to fly freely with the soft gushes of wind that brushed by every now and then. Her fingers tugged his hair and she let out a soft moan that surprised them both. Her teeth grazed on his bottom lip before she hesitantly pulled away. She licked her lips, taking in the last trace of his taste. Her eyes teased him silently as she gave a triumphant smile. ”This is who I am.”
”…” Khan Bojing looked at her dazedly, his eyes filled with confusion as he tried to make sense of their situation. He had been too shocked to react.
How was this man so innocent, this thought flashed through her mind as she placed her forehead onto his forehead. Many men lusted after because of her beauty. They acted as if they never bullied her when she was young. Sly hands tried to inappropriately touch her, rubbish mouths made it clear they wanted to use her body, and ignorant minds thought she could be easily coaxed.
Khan Bojing stood out from the others. Even if she hated him, she couldn't deny he was inevitably worthy of respect and acknowledgement. The purity this man chaneled was out of this world. He held the appearance of a poisoned blossom whose one touch could kill, yet, its petals were unbelievably soft upon the skin. He was a stable boy, but his golden personality made him a rare find. If she snuck into the light of his glow and dirtied him, would she be pusnished?
Punishment or whatever was to come, she didn't care. Li Wei slowly allowed herself to lean onto him, letting herself go. In that moment, she somehow trusted he wouldn't push her away or let her fall. She believed he wouldn't do anything harmful to her unless she was on the verge of killing someone. They were so close that her breath fell onto his skin when she spoke, ”Let me know how it feels like to be loved, even if it's just an ever fleeting moment.”
In the dimly lit corridor, the two figures stayed stuck together for a long time until her closed eyes suddenly widened. She could feel he had come to a decision after a long battle against himself. His strong arms picked her up and carried her through the door into her bedchamber.
He sat beside her, his hand held onto her hand. Tonight, he looked at like never before. His eyes were soft and tender, almost like he was the vulnerable one. Khan Bojing pulled her into his embrace, his chin rested lightly on her head. ”I don't want us to start something we'll regret.”
She knew he was not one to act rashly like her, but nothing in the world mattered anymore. She just wanted to be lost in his warmth again. Her finger flicked the collar of his shirt to the side, exposing his muscular honey skin. How enticing, she smirked before planting her kisses from his chest to his earlobe, causing him to shudder under her touch.
