Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"I think… I will sleep in my room in the bas.e.m.e.nt," Mei Qingyang's eyes darted everywhere, she was not able to look straight into Yu Tian's eyes, her face was flushed. The kisses were all that were occupying her mind right now. But the board meeting was in two days, she did not want to be distracted by anything at the moment.

Yu Bufan had just dropped them in front of the hostel building and it was about 3 am. The assistant had gone to park the car in the garage. The two people could not decide what to do next. Their racing hearts, these emotions were exhilarating yet very awkward.

Yu Tian was really enjoying this side of the usually cold her. It was really amusing to him how his kitten was trying to hide. Their conversation earlier had finally made him realize her role in his life. Not that he did not know of it, admitting it loud helped him put his mind at ease. She was the only one for him.

"Isn't it so cold down there?" the corner of his lips curled up in a smile slightly. Today he was going to see through it.

"I need some space to think clearly and prepare for the meeting," she still had her face away from him.

Yu Tian laughed. He put his arm around her shoulder and led her by force. Mei Qingyang glanced at his face, he looked in a good mood and… determined. She was going to be the lamb tonight, there did not seem to be any other way round to it. Her heart raced some more.

She had suddenly become too aware of his features. His arms were strong and muscular, his jaw line was so sharp, his c.h.e.s.t was bulging under his shirt, she really had scored the most handsome guy she had met in her life. She could feel his heart pound as fast as hers.

"Can you stop staring at me, it is making me conscious," he spoke when they were in the elevator. Ack, she was gawking at him openly.

"Sorry," she dropped her head down, his hand gave a tight squeeze to her shoulder. Mei Qingyang was still wary about his condition though. She had her hopes, for sure, but she had already prepared herself for a rejection from his body.

Soon they were standing at the door of the house. Yu Tian stopped there for a few moments, not punching in the numbers for the door.

"Qing Qing, before we go through that door and I lose my rationality, I just want to know if you are okay with it," he looked at her very seriously. She blushed hard and nodded her head bashfully. Gosh, what was wrong with her? Was she not the strong and rational girl? Dr. Chen had also said that too much skinship would be counterintuitive to his recovery. Was it okay to give in to these emotions right now?

But she should trust him. Whatever decision he had made, he knew himself the best.

He kissed her forehead and opened the door. He grabbed her hand and led her to the bedroom directly, not even paying attention to Mrs. Zhao who had felt asleep at the sofa, perhaps waiting for the two of them. They had not even entered the room properly and all hell broke loose. He ravaged her lips, quickly putting her out of breath. Pushing her against the closed door, he slowly worked his way towards her neck.

"T… Tian, slow…," she tried speaking but this p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e was too much. Wherever he touched, it burned hot. Was he worried about his body protesting in the mid? Before she knew it, they had already removed the clothes on their upper bodies. He went back to her soft lips, this time entering her mouth with his tongue.

From her point of view, Yu Tian looked like an experienced man. But when she thought about how his experience only involved his aunt, a sense of fury raged inside her. She was not the one to be led by nose and her anger took over.

She put her arms around his neck and reciprocated his kiss strongly. She pulled his handsome face towards her and matched her rhythm with him. But she made sure to keep it in her mind all the time that he was the one being dominated when he was with his aunt. She could not do the same for it could evoke his past memories. She let him evade her mouth, their tongues intertwining, sending waves of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e through her.

Seeing her return his feelings made him more aggressive. Her arms around his neck sent jolts through his body.

Once they separated, Mei Qingyang asked him with concern, "Tian, are you feeling alright? Uncomfortable anywhere?"

Yu Tian felt pathetic. He was the one supposed to be asking that question but this girl was still worried about him. But her adorable face melted his heart. How could anyone resist that expression?

He was not sure why people had said that he was losing out when he had made his intentions to court this girl clear. Sure, there were prettier girls out there but who had a heart like her, brave and strong yet empathetic? And who was as cute as her?

He leaned in again for another kiss but ended up nibbling her ear lobes that had turned red.

"Thank you," he whispered in her ears. In a bout of impulse, she kissed the nape of his neck and then replied, "I love you Tian."

Hearing her sudden confession, Yu Tian's body became stiff and he froze at the spot. He could not believe it, this was the first time she had said those words. And there she was talking about breaking up a few hours ago. Was it all a farce? But knowing her, he knew she was just always thinking about his feelings. At that time too, she had never mentioned what she wanted but what he would have felt looking at her all this time while knowing that she was the reason behind his pain.

He grabbed her h.i.p.s and lifted her to take her to the bed. She yelped at once, knowing that it was finally the time. Those words she had uttered spontaneously, the words she had saved very preciously to not overwhelm him with her own emotions, they did break the wall in his heart. His mind filled with her being, pushing out every other worry he had, from his doubts about his performance in bed to how disappointed she would feel if his body were to decide to act up again.

He gently laid her down on his bed, covering her petite frame with his own sturdy build. He stared at her for a few moments. Her upper body was full of burn marks but they provided meaning to their union. His body wasn't better either, he had all the old and new marks from abuse covering his body.

He c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair while she raised her hand and touched one of the nastiest scars he had from Yu Rong's whip. It ran across his c.h.e.s.t and burned from time to time. But her slightly warm hand was working like a soothing balm. Her eyes were misty, he was not sure if it was from earlier or if she was sad looking at that huge scar.

His skin tingled slightly, he took her wrist touching his muscular c.h.e.s.t and s.u.c.k.e.d its inner part, leaving a small hickey there. Whenever he touched her, a slight tremble went through her body, exciting him more. His lower part was throbbing at this time.

His leg had already invaded the space between hers, it was as if his body had a mind of its own.

"Are you still good?" he asked her, just wanting to confirm once again. He was not sure why a pure girl like her would ever want to be together with a broken soul like him. And helping him out so much. He still could not believe he was so lucky to have found her. What would his life be without her?

Which was also the reason that she would doubt a lot of times how she had been able to get this handsome hunk for herself. When those other girls said that she had seduced him through something, she would laugh at them. What did she have? Neither good face nor connections to fare through this world.

But over the course of time, and through their frequent conversations about anything and everything, they had understood a lot behind each other's words, especially since they had started living together. In their case, she was the one restraining, waiting patiently for him. And it told a lot about her loyalty. Yu Tian understood that perfectly. Mei Qingyang also understood that despite seeing her ugly body firsthand, he still had not rejected her.

They did not need to connect at physical level, there was something more between them. And she was happy to have found that someone, even though their families still stood on opposite sides.

"Tian, you do not need to doubt yourself. If I already promised myself to you, that means I am willing, a hundred, a thousand times. Your past, while is a big chunk of yourself, it does not matter to me," her eyes grew hot after she said so. Tears welled up, she did not know her heart had so much fondness for him. How would have she survived if he really had said yes to them breaking up? Her steeled heart could not have helped her then.

Yu Tian also could not hold himself back anymore. It seemed like her words had a very profound effect on his psyche, especially today, when they were at the height of their emotions. It felt like some invisible force was destroying one wall after another in his mind, he had never felt this light before.
