The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"What do you think of the idea of going for IVF right off the bat?" She asked when they entered his car. It wasn't because she thought it was a better option than natural conception. She was just curious.

"I don't think it's any different from doing it the natural way." He glanced at her. "Of course, there is a big difference that makes the latter better. I want to look at your curved belly months later and be able to remember how it felt like on the night when we conceived our baby."

Her face heated up. "You are such a pervert." He somehow managed to make everything about sex and she must be a pervert too because it didn't bother her. On the contrary, she felt a tingle down her spine and between her legs every time he made a dirty comment when the last thing on her mind was sex.

He started the car and shifted his gaze back to her. "How am I a pervert? We are only talking about making babies. Making love is the most obvious part of the process."

She blushed.

He had been right about her feeling calm after a visit to the obstetrician. She felt more at ease even though they were yet to go through with the tests. The tests were scheduled for the following day. He would have his first and she would be next. It was a little more complicated for her with the checks that she didn't understand but had been given information on, which she was supposed to go through but didn't think she would because she had a lot of work to go through before sleeping.

"What are your plans for the night?" He asked as he got the car on the road.

She hated to spoil whatever plans he had in mind for them. "I'm investigating a case that involves a supposed serial killer and drug addict who just happened to be a superstar. I will probably have my hands full for a few nights. I'm sorry my love."

"You don't need to be. I was actually thinking we'd stay home tonight. I'll cook dinner and you are in charge of looking pretty and warming the bed. We can save Netflix for next time."

"Really?" She looked forward to it even though it was nothing but a night full of work.

He nodded. "I have a conference meeting to attend later."

Because they would both have work to do and might end up staying up too late, they unanimously agreed to only work for two hours after dinner and get to bed.

It was only ten when she slid into the bed beside him. She felt she could definitely go for a while more but his gaze told her that he was not going to let her. He was right—even though he was yet to open his mouth. She needed time to think.

"If you look at me like that, I'm going to have to pin you down so you can only look at me from under me." He warned.

"How did I look at you?" She blinked. The look in his eyes told her that he was making things up. He probably only wanted an excuse to pin her down, and he did. But he was yet to do anything more than kiss her boobs when her phone rang.

"Ignore it." He groaned.

She wanted to, but she didn't know anyone who would call her at ten. It had to be an emergency. She grabbed the phone off the nightstand and tried not to gasp when Xiehan bit her nipple through the fabric of her nightdress. She glared at him and he grinned in mischief. The pervert was enjoying it. He was definitely doing it on purpose.

"Skylar?" She spoke when she realized who was calling.

"I'm so sorry. I only realized what time it was after dialling your number. Hanging up after a ring or two would have been awkward so…" Skylar sounded uncertain what to do.

"It's okay. What's up?" Lanni sat up and tried to ignore the man between her legs. He had pulled her nightdress up her waist and was currently blowing hot air onto her core through her panties. She sucked in a breath and coughed at the end of it so it didn't come off as a moan. She glared at him and he smirked, then he buried his head between her legs.

"I found some information on Storm." Skylar explained. "I only confirmed it now and was still riding on the shock of what I'd found out, which is why I called you in a frenzy."

"It's okay." She shifted her position to lean against her pillow.

"I can report it to you in the morning in your office." Skylar stated.

They had little time and she would be unable to sleep thanks to the anxiety so she interrupted before the latter hung up. "No, hold on. Please give me the gist of it."

The man between her legs knew when to stop. He teased her a little and let her speak to Skylar peacefully though she was certain that he would be ready to jump her as soon as the call ended. He was definitely going crazy and she was running down the road of insanity along with him.

A rustle of paper from the other end brought her back to her senses, followed by Skylar's voice as she explained the events that had transpired before Storm supposedly murdered his wife.

"Storm was once part of the band 'NV'. Did you know this?" Skylar asked.

"Yes." She had done her homework.

Skylar hummed. "There are many reasons why he left NV. The current members claim it was because his drug addiction surfaced and he couldn't keep up with the team which made him leave, but I recently found out that it was because he had a feud with one of the members, Axel. I also found out that Storm has been to a rehab centre but he had been thrown there because someone pulled the strings. Tests showed that he had only had a single use of drugs. Hell knows that could have been forcefully injected in him. You may need to know that Axel's family is quite influential in the capital."

Lanni processed the words over the next minute. "That was fast. Thanks Skylar."

When the call ended, Xiehan nipped her ear. "I don't know much about the case you are handling but if the truth is unfolding too fast, you need to be careful.." He warned.
