The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"I have a bad feeling." Ming stated when she and Qiao Linyou were done with their business and were on their way back home.

"Is this about Lanni again?" Qiao Linyou rolled her eyes with a scoff even before the latter could respond. "You are being too paranoid. I told you she is harmless."

Ming tiredly sighed. She didn't think so about Lanni. Otherwise, if people were supposed to be as harmless as they looked, Qiao Linyou would be innocent enough to be unable to swat a fly. But being the venomous snake that she was beneath her facade, it could only prove that looks were deceiving. "Wiat till she does something tragic, then you can tell me how innocent she truly is." she huffed in annoyance.

…

Cedric led Cheng Yu into the swimming pool, where they swam for the better part of the afternoon.

"I feel so drained." She flopped her backside onto the surface of the pool after competing three laps with him.

"Don't be a lazy bum. One more!" He urged, but she was too lazy to move a single finger.

"I'm tired. Race against the water, I'll cheer you!" She joked and burst into laughter when he gave her a dirty look.

"What should I do with you?" He smiled dotingly, wondering why he loved this woman so much even though she enjoyed teasing him. Perhaps that was part of what he loved about her.

"Do you want to go back to our suite?" He asked when he saw her recline listlessly against the tiled floor with her legs still dangling in the cold water.

"I'm so tired." She whined with no intention to move an inch.

"If you ask me nicely, I can carry you back." He grinned happily, waiting for her to ask him to carry her to the suite. When she raised her arms to signal him to carry her, his heart flooded with joy as he wrapped a towel around her and carried her.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as she gazed at his side profile, finding him more handsome than before. She brushed her fingers up his neck gently, making his body stiffen.

"Don't do that. You run the risk of getting kissed." He warned, and before she could stop what she was doing, he pressed his lips against hers in a soft, gentle kiss. "See? I warned you."

She smiled and buried her flushed face on his chest. When she heard a kick behind her followed by a gust of wind, she knew that they had arrived and the door had just been opened. He placed her on the bed gently and covered her with the towel that had started slipping off.

"I'll get changed instead." She suggested, not wanting to wet the bed with her soaking swimsuit.

"Okay." He stepped away from the bed slightly to let her pass.

She stood and dropped the towel, then tugged on the top of her swimsuit, before her face flushed furiously when she realized that he was still watching.

"I don't mind the audience but are you sure you can take it?" She asked with a tease, making his body go stiff.

"Let me grab you a snack." He left the room as though his heels were on fire.

When he returned, he had a bunch of snacks in his arms and placed it on the bed where she was sitting with her legs crossed.

"Want some?" He dangled a bar of chocolate in her face, which she immediately grabbed.

"That's mine. I was yet to give it to you." He knitted his brows, but she merely laughed at him.

Opening the wrapper, she broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. "How sweet. You can't take it back now."

She was still speaking when his lips landed on hers. Her eyes widened at the sudden kiss.

"I can't get the chocolate back. It's only fair that I get the taste, right?"

"She didn't say anything against his words. Leaning forward, she pecked his lips and brought her hands around his neck, letting him kiss her before she pulled back and placed a piece of chocolate between her teeth.

She did not bite it off completely, leaving half of it protruding from between her lips.

He leaned in and but the remaining part of it, but after eating the chocolate, his lips lingered on hers, taking them in a deep kiss.

"Cedric," She whispered when his hands gently grabbed her b.o.o.b.s.

"Yu, I…" He was about to let go when she held his hand and pressed it against her chest so he wouldn't stop touching her.

"I'm just nervous…" She breathed. "I don't dislike it."

By the time she got through her last words, she was so embarrassed that her entire face had turned red.

He looked into her eyes and kissed her neck, pressing his lips against on her soft skin, earning a soft m.o.a.n from her. His hands slid up her thigh before grabbing her hip and placing it against his waist. He pushed her down against the bed before his body came down on hers.

"Yu, I want you." He whispered, then waited for her reaction.

"I…" She didn't know what to say. She wasn't sure that she was ready to take her relationship with him to the next step, but that was not the main point. The main point was, what was she supposed to say? Would she appear to be too forward with him?

One thing was for sure, however—she liked the feeling of his hands on her skin.

Slowing down in case she was uncomfortable, he stroked her skin gently, to which she arched her back and closed her eyes, gasps escaping her lips.

…

The following morning.

Cheng Yu woke up to the rays of sun seeping in through the curtains. When she tried to stretch her limbs, she found that she was too exhausted to move much.

"Morning, sleepyhead." Cedric smiled from the side when he saw her stretching.

"Good morning." She beamed and suddenly remembered what had happened the previous night, which made her blush and cover herself with the blanket all the way to her head.

He sat on the bed next to her, dipping a hand into the blanket to stroke her hair. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I…" He paused and sighed. "I didn't know it was your first time and…"

"Stop talking about it." She was so embarrassed that she wanted him to shut up. Last night was her first time as well as his. Everything he did was out of instinct and even when he realized that he had hurt her, he didn't know what to do and could only clumsily kiss her to try and ease the discomfort, and her hiss of pain had him almost jolting off the bed.

He chuckled and agreed that it was indeed awkward to talk about it.

Even so, she felt as though it had brought them even closer to each other. When she was less awkward regarding the entire thing, she peeked her head out of the blanket. "What was that anyway? Is it considered as having done the deed?"

He tried to think but couldn't figure out either. "Whatever it is, you belong to me now. You are not allowed to think about other men." He demanded.

"Including my brother?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

"Except your brother." The only man he could tolerate her around her was Cheng Ying, and this was majorly because the young man had nothing against him and would never be competition either.

"You cannot look at other women." She likewise demanded.

In response, he pulled her out of the blanket and into his arms. "Of course not. They are not even half as beautiful as you. What's there for me to look at?"

She knew that he was saying honeyed words but she subconsciously believed him. She truetsed that he would not mess around with other women behind her back. If he wanted to, he would have done so already. Since he hadn't ever thought of it, it only meant that he was true to her.

"Yu, I love you so much." He pressed his lips gently against her temples.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest comfortably. "I love you too, Cedric."

"While she leaned against him, her body pressed against a hardness she was quite familiar with, and she suddenly didn't know what position to sit in. "Uh…"

Noticing her discomfort, he chuckled lightly. "My little friend wasn't satisfied last night so he's poking you. You can ignore him until you're ready to feed him."

"Stop talking about it." She playfully slapped his shoulder and buried her face in his chest.
