"Don’t..."

For a long while, she panted heavily.

Both her arms were lifted over her head, and even her neck started to ache.

The heat beneath her made her shudder, but his strong, powerful long legs left her with not the slightest strength to fight back.

"What are you doing, Yue Siqing, you bastard!"

He suddenly stopped, lips pressed tight, looking at the panicked woman beneath him.

Her swollen lips were damp and moist, tempting enough to drive a man to the brink.

His whole body was taut as a bowstring, his breathing ragged.

He didn’t let her go, but he didn’t go on either.

"You just had to set me off, didn’t you?" His voice was hoarse to a frightening degree.

Gu Anjin didn’t dare move a muscle, her misty eyes fixed on him, knowing he was holding something back.

"You kissed me..." Gu Anjin spoke, her voice trembling lightly. "Yue Siqing, do you even know what you’re doing to me?"

This time he was sober; he just didn’t know why anger had suddenly flared up.

But she knew it had nothing to do with the drug.

Her heart was in fierce turmoil; she didn’t know what she should do.

Go on? But when she thought of that night, she felt terrified.

Yue Siqing squeezed his eyes shut, pressed his forehead to hers, took a deep breath. His breathing still hadn’t calmed. "Didn’t you want a man? Still want?"

Gu Anjin really didn’t know what she was supposed to do at a time like this, but her instinct told her that if she said yes now, he might really go through with it.

She could feel, stark and unmistakable, the tight, intense tension in him. If that taut string snapped, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

But would using this method even work? It wasn’t like they hadn’t done it before; he still hadn’t accepted her.

It was just that his recent changes—had they started from that night?

Not hearing her voice, Yue Siqing opened his eyes.

His heart was a tangled mess, stirred by lust, and the sight of her little face only poured fuel on the fire, making him want her all the more.

"Y-you, let go of me..." Gu Anjin turned her head aside, finally tearing her gaze away, her heart pounding wildly. "I don’t want to."

A throbbing pain pulsed in his temples; the sight of her lips opening and closing only made her all the more tempting.

His thin lips brushed lightly over her slightly swollen ones, releasing her hands, yet locking her head in place as he kissed her again.

Gu Anjin’s mind seemed to buzz all at once.

She had thought that after hearing her words, Yue Siqing would let her go; who knew that...

She was kissed into a daze. That cautious, gentle movement made her think of many years ago.

Back then she had just met Yue Siqing. Her grandfather was still alive. She only knew she really liked this older brother, but didn’t understand what love was.

One night the thunder was very loud, and without thinking she ran straight to his room.

Without meaning to, he kissed her... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

From that day on, she felt that the biggest wish of her life was to grow up quickly so she could marry him.

She had just never imagined that when she finally did grow up, he would still refuse to accept her.

The pad of his thumb gently stroked her cheek. Gu Anjin opened her eyes, staring at the handsome face so close to her.

Yue Siqing opened his eyes; the seductive, narrow eyes still held no warmth.

The woman in his arms was being very good; the hands he’d released didn’t even dare to move.

"From now on, don’t come into my room." His voice was still hoarse, but that luxurious, tempting texture in it was especially sexy. "Otherwise I can’t guarantee what I’ll do."

Gu Anjin’s eyes grew a little moist as she clutched at his shirt. "You clearly... I don’t understand!"

"There’s nothing to understand. It’s just a man’s physical instinct."
