The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She changed into it and checked herself out in the mirror. The bra didn't cover a lot more than her hardened nɨppŀės and the little triangular fabric at her crotch area may as well not be there. She was nearly nȧkėd except for the tiny pieces of silky fabric and her cheeks flushed. This was probably the most daring thing she had ever worn. There was no doubt what his reaction would be, seeing her like this. Lanni went all out this time.

She threw on a bathrobe and made her way back to the room. Cedric was playing a game on his phone as he waited for her. She stood against the wall, in his line of sight and made sure he was looking at her before she slowly loosened the belt around her bathrobe and flirtatiously shrugged it off.

He inhaled sharply and swallowed hard. His game was ditched in a heartbeat and he suddenly couldn't get to her fast enough. When he wrapped an arm around her waist, she gently pulled it off.

"Slow down, handsome." She smiled, his reaction turning her on all the more. Seeing him want her so badly made her want him even more. She turned him over and pushed him against the wall instead, running her fingers down the side of his face. She pulled away when he reached to hold her.

"Don't move." She whispered and continued to tease and touch him, eliciting a groan from him. He was already so hard that he throbbed in her palm when she grabbed him through his pants.

"Yu," He pleaded through a throaty voice. He had tried his best to stay still and not move but she was not making it easy for him in the slightest. He treaded a finger down her neck and she couldn't stop herself from mȯȧning.

He pressed her against his body and traced hers, cupping her bȯȯbs in his hands. Her skin was hot under his touch and so were her lips when he finally kissed them. He rubbed her nɨppŀės between his thumbs and forefingers, squeezing ever so slightly. A gasp left her lips as a shudder went down her body.

She had intended to tease and seduce him but she couldn't stop her body from burning in need. Her core throbbed, begging to be touched by him. And when he did, she melted into his arms and let herself go. His lips crashed against hers again as her body floated. She closed her eyes and let her body respond to his touch. She bȧrėly registered him moving and felt herself sinking onto the soft mattress soon after. Rose petals ċȧrėssed her skin as his hands moved along her body, touching her in places that craved his touch the most.

He got rid of their clothes at a ridiculous speed and when he finally sunk into her, she mȯȧnėd out his name in pŀėȧsurė. He wasn't gentle and she didn't need him to be. Each hard thrust sent her closer and closer to the edge and all she could do was cling to his back. Her nails dug into his shoulder blades as she parted her legs as far as she could. When he suddenly slowed down, she opened her eyes to meet his panic-stricken face.

"What's wrong?" Worry flooded her entire being.

"I forgot all about protection in the heat of the moment." He admitted.

"Screw protection. I would never say no to a little Cedric." She hugged his shoulders and moved her hɨps invitingly, and he rewarded her with hard, deep thrusts until they both reached their climax.

Her legs were wrapped tightly around his waist for a moment they wished could last forever. He pulled out after a while, kissing her the whole time, and lay on his side next to her. He stroked her bȧrė skin, regretfully eyeing the red marks on her thɨġhs. Had he been too rough?

"It doesn't hurt. I just scar too fast." She ċȧrėssed his face, knowing what he was thinking.

He was relieved. Hurting her was the last thing he ever wanted to do. "Do you think we will really be parents?" He asked, knowing how irregular her cycle was lately. Not that he would ever say no to having a baby with her but…

She let the possibility play out on his face but not long enough for him to be misled, before wrapping her arm around him. "That's not happening any time soon. I'm on birth control."

"You are?" He frowned.

"I didn't have the chance to tell you." She drew circles on his skin. "I meant it when I said I wouldn't mind having a child with you. Just… not now. I would like to enjoy my life a little longer."

"That's alright. We are still young anyway." He agreed. "That, and I would like to pamper you for a while before all our attention is stolen away by a little cutie."

She smiled and jabbed him. Maybe that was one of the reasons why they ended up dating despite being so different. They shared the same opinion on more things than they would have ever expected. .

He was yet to take a shower so he bribed her with kisses until she agreed to join him in the shower. When she took a glance at the lingerie she was wearing earlier, her jaw dropped.

"You tore it. No, the point is, it's made of silk, but you still managed to tear it?"

"It was in the way." He slapped her bȧrė buŧŧ playfully. Her face flushed as she disappeared into the shower before he followed her in.

Meanwhile, Lanni went through the guest list for the umpteenth time. She kept having a feeling that she was forgetting an important guest even though she didn't have many friends.

In the end, she showed the list to Xiehan. "Honey, do you think we are forgetting something?"

He eyed the list on her tablet and grunted in agreement. Sliding her stylus out of her hand, he crossed out Ji Huifen, Ji Meiling and Wen Lin and they were automatically deleted from the list.

"Xiehan…" Her heart sank.

"I have no dėsɨrė to invite people who have no respect for my wife." He didn't flinch, but she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry. It shouldn't have come to this." Having a wedding without one's family was definitely heartbreaking. No one should have to choose between their spouse and their family.

"It did. And you can make it up to me." He grabbed her teasingly.

"I will use the rest of my life to make it up." She winked, but she was serious. If there was really no way for the Ji family to reunite, she would do her best to fill the void.

"Oh, I remember now." She grabbed back the tablet and stylus and added a name. Veruschka would be glad to come to her wedding. She couldn't help wondering how her nephew was doing. Luckily, she had delayed sending out the final batch of invitations or she would have left her out.

Xiehan grabbed her and pulled her onto his ŀȧp. "Is the wedding more attractive than your husband?"

She wrapped her arms around him, letting the tablet fall onto the bed. "You mean, the day when the whole world gets to know that you are mine? Of course it's attractive."

"Then I'll have to work harder." He fell back on the bed and pulled her along.

His phone rang on the nightstand.

"You should answer that." She pulled away to let him. It was not every day that he got calls late at night so it must be urgent.

He thought about it and grabbed his phone from the nightstand, dreading all possibilities when he realized that the caller was Wen Lin.

"Hello?" He answered, his body a bundle of nerves. Wen Lin's sob made him sit up in fear. "Is Ruby home?"

"Yes. Lin Jian dropped her off safely." She cried. "Xiehan, your father had a heart attack. The doctor said he might not make it."

He gripped the phone tightly.

"Hello, Xiehan? Are you there?"

"Brother?" Ruby's voice was the last thing he heard before the call ended.
