525 Tiger Inside Of Her (1/2)

It was close to noon by the time Xiu managed to open her eyes. It had nothing to do with her sleep addiction. She was bullied last night to the point that she couldn't even move. In fact, she still wasn't willing to open her eyes. But thinking of all the plans she had made for the day, she had to push herself up.

She sat in a daze for a few minutes before she rubbed her eyes sluggishly. Her eyes caught sight of the clothes she was wearing and a smile bloomed on her face. Her body was snuggled up in an oversized sweatshirt which definitely didn't belong to her. But the comfort it brought was enough to tell her who it belonged to.

Instinctively, she lifted the sweatshirt and rubbed her face against the soft fabric.

”Isn't it better to hug me?”

Xiu looked up to see Darren leaning against the doorframe with a mischievous smile playing on his lips. But the way his eyes bore into her made her want to cower back. She really had no tofu left for him to eat now!

”Why would I hug you?” she retorted while avoiding his gaze.

Darren shook his head and came to sit beside her. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close as he placed his chin on her shoulder as per his habit. ”Because I think hugging my shirt won't be enough for you.”

”Aren't you getting too full of yourself?”

He kissed her cheek and answered, ”Absolutely not my Sweets.”

Xiu leaned into him as she questioned, ”How are you so energetic?”

”Because you're my energy booster, the more I have you, the more I become energetic.”

Xiu hit his chest playfully, ”You and your words... I can't win at all!”

”But there is something I can't win at from you as well,” said Darren making Xiu furrow her brows in perplexion. ”I'm amazed at how your brain actually works.”

”What do you mean?” Xiu had a bad feeling about this question but she still had to ask. However, seeing his eyes, she was again having doubts now.

He pointed towards something and Xiu hesitantly looked over only to bury her face in his chest. Did he really have to remind her of what foolishness she did last night?

Darren indeed had to remind her at all costs. How else he was gonna see her flustered look? And seeing what she had bought last night, Xiu was left more than just flustered. She was embarrassed. Why the hell did she buy those handcuffs out of nowhere?

Caressing her head softly, he questioned, ”I'm very curious... Do my Sweets even know what these things are used for? After all, blindfolds, handcuffs, and whips don't suit in the hands of a kid.”

”Are you calling me a kid?” she glared at him.
