The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Lanni?" Xiaoshi called out when she realized that Lanni had spaced out for too long. The latter didn't seem to hear her so she tapped her arm, and she finally jolted out of her trance.

"Mmh?" She looked confused.

"Why aren't you eating?" Xiaoshi pointed at the food that had been delivered a few minutes ago, but was untouched by Lanni who was deep in thought. She hadn't even realized when the food was brought in.

She picked up her cutlery. "It's right. I'm still a little disoriented… I guess it's because I slept too much."

"Do you want to go out for fun later?" Xiaoshi suggested. She knew that Lanni had something on her mind and it had nothing to do with her feeling disoriented. She couldn't probe unless the latter was willing to talk about it herself, so she could only offer something that would help her cheer up without being intrusive.

Lanni was thankful for her good intention but she had to call a rain check. "Maybe next time?"

"Of course." Xiaoshi did not push it. "If you need someone to talk to, I'll be right here."

...

As soon as she finished having lunch with the new couple, she left the restaurant absentmindedly and before she realized it, she had rang Xiehan's doorbell.

"My love, I thought you were going to sleep all day." The man opened the door with a complicated gaze. He was pleasantly surprised to see her but was at the same time worried, especially when he noticed that she didn't seem to be in the best mood.

"I missed you." She confessed and threw herself into his arms.

He embraced her lovingly and kissed her forehead. Her hands were wrapped around his neck while her face plastered herself onto his chest. He didn't need to ask her to know that she had something on her mind. Before he could ask about it, she raised her head and her lips crashed against his.

He quickly adjusted to the sudden gesture and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into a tighter embrace as he kissed her lips. He gently sucked her lower lip as his right hand slid against the side of her neck, his thumb caressing her ear before sliding down to lift her chin.

Her arms tightened at his back as she took the initiative to slide her tongue through his lips and she had to tiptoe to make up for the difference in their height.

He held her waist and lifted her off the floor to carry her into the house, then sat on the couch and placed her on his lap. She gazed at him for a few seconds then smiled and got off his lap to sit beside him.

He glanced at her with a curious side-eye. "Should I assume that the ambience here is much better so you wanted to take a nap here instead?"

She responded with a smile. "Yes. Isn't that because you are here? Obviously, naps are much sweeter in your presence."

"When did you learn to be such a sweet talker?" He chuckled at her honeyed words.

"That's an effect of being close to you." She implied that one is marked by the company one keeps.

"That isn't simply an effect. It's a perk." He exaggeratedly gave himself credit and she rolled her eyes.

"Can I sleep in your room?" She asked out of the blue and he frowned.

"What kind of question is that? Of course you can sleep anywhere you find pleasing, at any time you want. You can even sleep on top of me if you think it's more comfortable." The second part of his statement was meant to be a tease.

"I wouldn't mind doing that later, but I will have to pass the offer at the moment."

"Are you sure about that? My chest is more comfortable now." He took her hand and brought it to his chest as though asking her to try it out.

In reality, she didn't need to feel it to know. "I know that. It is my favorite pillow after all, of course I would know."

"Do you need me to carry you there?" He took her up from the couch before she answered, and she could only wrap her arms around his neck.

He placed her gently on the bed and sat beside her, next to her legs. "Go to sleep."

She didn't close her eyes and continued looking at him, and he found her odd. "Is there something wrong?"

She didn't know what was wrong with her either. She felt a wild flood of emotions that she couldn't quite place. All she knew was that she wanted to be close to him. When he asked her whether something was wrong, she couldn't stand it anymore and sat up while looking at him.

"Come here." He pulled her into his arms, and took her lips in his. All her insecurities vanished in a flash as she lost herself in the flame of his passionate kiss. He took his time to savor the taste of her lips while at the same time reassuring her that he was there for her and that everything would be alright.

Many things had happened in her life in such a short time, it was understandable for her to feel on edge; so he strived to make her forget the pain and remember the happiness that life had to offer.

He broke the kiss and looked into her lost eyes as he caressed the side of her face with his thumb. "I love you."

She pushed on his shoulders and he complied by lying down as she wanted him to, then she climbed onto him as their lips met. He held her waist to support her as she kissed his lips, then flipped to pin her under him.

"I want you." She whispered as her fingers caressed the back of his head. "Make love to me."

He was already aroused and he almost lost control at her words. He burrowed his head in the crook of her neck and kissed it, sucking it gently as his left hand held her waist. His right hand held up her thigh and caressed it, making her dress slide up her waist.

She slid her hand off his neck and reached at her side to pull down the zipper she knew he was looking for. She sat up briefly to let him take off her dress then slumped back onto the bed while pulling him down on her.

Her lower body girated against his manhood that was already hard in his pants. It stiffened harder from her actions and he groaned, impatiently ripping his clothes off his body.

He looked into her eyes that were now filled with desire and reached his hand between her thighs. She whimpered when his hand came into contact with her wet core.

He felt the small patch that had formed on her panties and in the next moment, he pulled it off her waist and slid himself into her.

He sucked her n.i.p.p.l.e as he gently pushed in and out of her. He pressed the other between his thumb and forefinger, earning a whimper from her.

"Xiehan," She whispered against his ear. His eyes that were full of desire looked up to meet her passionate gaze. "Take me hard."

He kissed her lips then held both sides of her waist as he picked up his pace.

….

Lanni fell asleep as soon as they were done and when she woke up, she was on her own and the space beside her was cold. Xiehan must have woken up long ago. She looked around and noticed the rising sun through the open window, making her widen her eyes.

Did she sleep all afternoon, throughout the entire night? When she looked down at herself and saw the blue nightdress she was wearing, she knew that she was right. Xiehan must have helped her freshen up. She wondered where he was.

She checked the kitchen and didn't find him. However, he had made her breakfast and left it on the dining table. It was still hot, so she guessed that he was still nearby.

"You are finally awake. I was starting to wonder whether tales about princesses being kissed out of their sleep are really true." Xiehan remarked when he found her scanning around for him.

"There is only one such princess." She retorted. Now that she had found the person she was looking for since she woke up, she realized that she was hungry and sat down to eat breakfast.

"Do you need to go to work?" She asked since he was already late if he was planning to go to the office.

"Honey, it's Sunday." He was amused.

She was shocked then realized that he was right. Yesterday was Saturday, which is why she had been sure that she would find him at home. Did she lose part of her brain after sleeping for too long?
