I glared at him and took the shower head, rinsing his body with a small flow of water. The water was a bit cold, making him tremble slightly. I wanted to adjust the temperature, but it accidentally became too hot.
Ye Zhengchen, exasperated, pushed me against the wall with one hand and grabbed the shower head, spraying it at me.
“What are you doing?”
“You helped me wash for so long; I’ll return the favor.” Hot water splashed on me, soaking my clothes and revealing my body without any cover.
His hand gripped a soft area through my clothes, fingertips pinching and rubbing, making my whole body numb.
Ye Zhengchen laughed. “You know, I’m not serious about anything, except with you.”
His hand slid down, teasing my sensitive skin, which was especially reactive from the hot water. I gradually softened under his touch. To avoid touching his wound, I dared not resist, retreating until I was cornered.
He leaned in, lifting my face, the water mist obscuring my vision, making his figure blurry, yet I felt his intense gaze.
“Darling,” he brushed away my wet hair gently. “Do you know, I love seeing you like this?”
Of course, he’s a pervert, and all perverts love watching women bathe and change. His lips pressed against the back of my ear. “For years, I’ve dreamed of that rainy day, you sitting in my car, drenched. I deliberately said many inappropriate things, but you weren’t angry, just blushing and trembling.”
I too often dreamed of that day, of his gaze burning like molten rock. “I thought I could see through all women, but you were different—seemingly near yet far. I wanted to tear off your clothes and see what would happen.”
If he wanted to know, I would tell him. “I would be afraid; please, don’t.”
He laughed, pinching my face. “Any man knows, when a woman says ‘don’t’, she actually wants it.”
“I understand too.”
What love is most irresistible? When you clearly want something, can reach out and get it, yet you can’t have it. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink.
We had worked hard to break through our constraints to be together. In a moment of emotion, I stood on tiptoe, bringing my lips close to his, kissing lightly. His lips were incredibly soft.
