Her breath was caught in her throat, ''I..''

historical

''Luoluo, if you are planning to say that you don't want me to stay then prepare an explanation for why you looked sad when I said I will leave soon,'' he cut her off, his words were crisp and his expressions were solemn unlike his usually obedient-cute self.

Shi Luo licked her bottom lips and his gaze wandered from her eyes to her mouth, his eyes visibly ravaging the sight of her wet lips, ''Did I ever tell you?" He tilted his head to the side, all the while not taking his eyes off her lips.

''Tell me what?" Shi Luo finally found her lost voice and she asked him softly.

''That whenever you lick your lips..'' his thumb stroked the spot below her bottom lips and the other four fingers dug inside her hair. His gaze shifted from her lips and he looked straight into her eyes, ''...I have the urge to do it too.''

''Do what..?" Shi Luo was not usually dumb but this moment was getting at her and she could feel it in the way her toes curled up inside her sliders.

''Lick your lips, what else?" the corner of his lips tugged up and up so close, she could see the dimples forming on his cheeks.

Shi Luo's lips parted when he pulled her closer, ''May I?" his low and deep voice made her skin tingle.

She did not have it in her to say another word and she closed her eyes as a silent agreement. One kiss, wasn't it? One kiss won't hurt. It would satiate her mild interest in him and everything will be fine after the heat of the moment is over.

One kiss never hurts.

''Look at me, Luoluo,'' his voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

She opened her eyes to look at him.

''I want to kiss you,'' he whispered, looking straight into her eyes.

''I don't mind,'' her reply sounded ridiculous to her own ears.

What don't mind? You have obviously been craving for it, you idiot. Came the mocking voice of her inner self.

He chuckled, ''It doesn't works that way, sweetheart.''

She gripped his shirt in her hand and stepped closer to him, ''What way is it then?''

''It's either you tell me how much you want me to kiss you..'' he paused and a lazy smile drawled on his face, ''...or show me.''

She has never said words like this to a man before and she did not know if she can tell him how much she wanted him to kiss her without stuttering.

But that did not mean she was letting this chance slip from her grasp. She has been crushing over this man since who knows how long and she was certain that he was leaving soon. She was well aware of the fact that they were highly incompatible and whatever it was, it was this moment.

If not now, then it's never. And she let the thought take control of her whole rationality as she took another step closer to him.

Her fingers shifted from the edge of his shirt to his collar and Shi Luo removed her sliders before stepping on his feet. She stood on her tip-toes on his feet, ''I'll show,'' biting her bottom lips, she looked into his eyes.

He nodded and that was all it took for her confidence to boost as she captured his lips without second thought.

The feeling of his cold lips against hers made her feel like diving more into this. Into whatever this was. She took his bottom lips between her teeth, nibbling on it slightly before she sucked it.

Her grip on his shirt loosened and she slowly pulled back to look at him. Hesitance flashed in her eyes, ''Well..'' she felt slightly awkward. How was she going to face him in the future?

''Since you took the initiative to show your sincerity, it's my turn to finish what you started,'' his thumb grazed on her bottom lips.

And Shi Luo nodded. Fine, for once only!

The corner of his lips tugged up as he raked his fingers inside her hair letting his palm rest on the back of her head. His other hand tightly wrapped itself around her waist and he angled her head before capturing her lips with his.

Unlike her butterfly kiss, he was passionate and not even a bit gentle but it did things to her. Her body turned hot all over when she felt his tongue gliding inside her mouth, entagling with her tongue while his lips molded her bottom lips.

It took her a moment to register it in her mind and before she knew it, she wrapped both her arms around his neck as she kissed him back.

They parted after a long time and he leaned his forehead against hers.

Shi Luo panted softly but a gasp escaped her mouth when she was suddenly pulled up in a princess carry. Her grip around his neck tightened and she glanced at him, mouth agape, ''W-what are you doing?" she finally managed to utter when hr walked inside her bedroom before stopping in front of her bed.

"You need rest," Jun Boyan said as he placed her on the bed.

Her heart needed rest. Shi Luo nodded her head like a chicken while he pulled the blankets and tucked her properly.

He left the room without looking at her again and when she heard the sound of the door closing, Shi Luo ducked her head inside the blanket while screaming mentally.

Kiss!

They kissed!

But he left without looking back at her. The reality of it snapped her to her senses and she quietly glanced at the closed door, "Is he regretting it already?"

The corner of her lips twitched. She kissed him because she had a crush on him while he kissed her... maybe on impulse. So, it was reasonable if he regretted it.

But still...
