CHAPTER 144

Getting back to work, both Andromeda and Liu Xueyi stayed off each other's business, tending to their office work.

While Liu Xueyi wished to speak to her, he wanted his first meeting to be more private and in the comfort of home where she would not be disturbed about their relationship.

There, he felt he could hint to her of his feelings and gradually imbibe his thoughts in her mind so that when he confessed and later inform her of the truth about the video, she would not hate him.

It did not take long though, Saturday arrived quicker than Andromeda could process and soon she found herself parking her car right in front of Liu Xueyi's house.

She was welcomed in and offered a sit after Liu Xueyi practically stole a big hug from her.

Unlike their hugs which had been sensual or comforting during these days when she was in trouble, this was actually more friendly and lively.

Sadly, for her, the kiss she had expected he would take the initiative to do, Liu Xueyi respected himself and left her alone.

To say she was disappointed was an understatement as she internally wished for it but got nothing.

One thing he did not know though, while he felt it was for the best to restrain himself, Andromeda had another wet dream the previous day thinking of him.

At this point in time, her desire for him had grown more than she could deny and she knew it, she wanted him.

"Hello, Andy. Please what would you like to drink first before I start cooking?" Liu Xueyi asked, escorting her to her seat.

"What do I want? You mean to say you haven't begun cooking?"

"Umm no. I did say lunch and dinner. It's morning. I haven't started," he shrugged a wink at her, wearing his most charming smile ever.

"Okay, shall I leave and return when the meal is ready?"

"No!"

Her brows knitted into a slight frown seeing how agitated he got when she said that. "Okay…" she trailed off, watching him closely. "You sure?"

"Yes. I mean... sorry, Andromeda. I just…" he shook his head, sending the thoughts away. "Why not stay and join me in the kitchen. I promise it would be nice."

She still did not give him a favourable response and kept on watching him with narrowed eyes.

"Relax. I won't do anything to you except you want me to, of course, then who am I not to oblige?"

"Shameless." Andromeda nodded her head at him. "Okay. Then let's go."

Together, they made their way to the kitchen where he introduced her to all of the ingredients he was going to use and before long, they set out to work.

All through their preparations, Liu Xueyi kept on stealing side glances from her, admiring her figure, her charm each time she spoke and laughed heartily.

The closer and more time he spent with her, the more he yarned to hold her rather than just speak to her.

He wanted for their relationship to go back to where they were when he could kiss her at will but now…

He had to always be cautious and now, his feelings were beginning to get the better of him.

Finding it hard to ignore the need to hold her, he made his first move.

She had her side to him, while she chopped lightly on the vegetables when she suddenly felt a warmth envelop her and noticed his shadow.

Immediately, Andromeda stilled, halting in her work as she lifted her head but uttered no words.

"Andy." His voice came out deep but low. She could feel it from his breathing how he yearned to say something but held back.

And how he must have wanted to touch her but he restrained himself all because of decency.

Now she felt bad for making him feel that way. It wasn't like she could go requesting his sweet kisses on her now that she had said that? Or could she?

Her mind fought with reasoning, holding her from doing all she experienced in her dreams to him.

Luckily though, she did not have to wait too much before he reacted, making his move.

He hugged her from behind, wrapping his hand around hers letting them hold her side tight as his nose nestled against her hair, taking in her scent.

"Hmm. You smell nice, Andromeda."

She remained unmoving, clamping her eyes shut and controlling the burning sensation that seared through her skin from that tone sniff.

​ "I am sorry, Andy. Please, talk to me."

Andromeda gasped feeling him press his body into her back, tightening the hold on her before trailing his fingers down the length of her arm.

She had barely gotten the time to process what was going on when he spun her around, so she was facing him, hooking his fingers underneath her chin like she had done to him in his dream.

Everything had happened so fast that all Andromeda could do was part her lips, watching him through her lashes as he took the situation to another level.

"Xue-Xueyi…" her breathing came in slow and deep, watching the desire burning freely in those dark orbs of his.

"You know, I never did agree to stop kissing you, Andy. In fact, I do not think I can ever stop."

"Xue…"

"Let me, please, okay?"

Listening to his resonant baritone voice plead so cutely had her brain and heart moved and the next things she knew, she gave in to her desires, nodding her head slowly.

Instantly she knew she had sealed her fate with him and wondered if she was going to regret it or if it was nice to just let go.

She watched his eyes come to a close the moment their lips joined. Words could not describe how he stole her breath away, sweeping her mind off its feet as his tongue dove in, ready for the surreal adventure into her cave of wonders.

Seconds passed and he relished in the warmth of her mouth, kissing her with all his feverish need, yet ensuring she was not rushed and made to savour his feelings.

Seconds later Liu Xueyi broke the kiss, but kept his lingering gaze on her eyes, before alternating between her lips and eyes.

The harder he looked at her lips, the farther he wished he could shower her with his kisses, love and protection and tell her how he felt but when he gazed back into her crystal blue eyes, he was at a loss for words and his conscience pricked his heart for hiding the truth from her.

Meanwhile, Andromeda who was on the verge of scolding herself for being so weak before him before the kiss, found her answer in her mind, sealing her resolve.

"Kiss me, more, Xueyi."

She wanted his kisses so badly and now, she was determined to use his actions for her own gain.

Obliging her, his eyes twinkled with mirth as he brought his lips down on hers, grazing them softly before pecking them one at a time.

Just when he felt the had showered her enough kisses and was ready to taste the main dish, his eyes flew open and so did hers as the doorbell rang, notifying them of a visitor.
