CHAPTER 367
True to the words said, when they got to his residence, Liu Xueyi ensured the guards around his house were doubled.
Not only that, he proceeded to having Andromeda enjoy the privilege of more than one bodyguard at her disposal.
All of her outings were to be monitored and reported to him.
This wasn't because he did not trust her but he did not want a repetition of what happened today.
Although all she wanted was a nice bath and time in his arms, Andromeda was happy he went through all the trouble to ensure she was safe.
Once he was through placing calls to important persons he made his way back to the bed where she sat patiently waiting for him.
"I want a bath," Andromeda's soft voice pleaded while watching him through her lashes.
"You'll get one. I'll take you and bathe you."
Together, they got undressed and had a nice calming bath.
All the while Liu Xueyi waited for her questions about his identity but not once did Andromeda make mention of anything related.
In all his life of having a relationship, this was the first time he had been in such a awkward situation with no way out.
They finished bathing, toweled each other, got a change of clothes and sat on the bed.
By this time Liu Xueyi was growing impatient with each passing second.
He felt like a child placed on a hot seat by the parent while waiting for judgement to descend on him.
"Andy."
"I'm hungry," Andromeda informed him quickly and rubbed lightly on her stomach.
"Sure."
Without being told, he could guess she was avoiding him and the topic but he played along with her.
He excused himself, walked over to his side of the bed, picked up his phone and placed an order for their dinner.
Whether she could eat it or not, that was not his problem.
Even the fact that he wished to make love to her prior to the whole accident, suddenly went cold.
He finished up with his order and returned to her side on the bed.
"Andromeda."
"Can I get a massage please. My back is sore. And my arms and limbs and..."
Rather than responding, he shut her up and lifted up on the bed, allowing his knee press into it but did not say a word to her.
Getting his message, Andromeda forced out a weak smile and lay on the bed with her back to him.
Fine. Have it your way, make love to me," Andromeda demanded.into position while Liu Xueyi settled himself and straddled her as his hands went to work on her body.
Several minutes passed but their situation remained the same.
Rather than feel plagued like he was, he watched her moan every now and then when he touched a sensitive spot and let her eyes come to a close.
'How long does she intend to punish me this way with the silent treatment?' Liu Xueyi pondered.
'And here I was, happy that she did not get mad at me. Turns out, she was pretty mad. Women! How could she feign this way?'
His mind went up in shambles just thinking about the kind of soup he had entered with his girlfriend.
And like a man caught cheating, the thudding of his heart grew wilder in his chest.
While Liu Xueyi battled with the silence and guilt, Andromeda herself found it hard to relax.
Since they arrived home, several thoughts and times began to replay in her mind of the times she had met Ye Yuan.
She found it awkward and strange to think that they were the same person but she never knew about it.
And each time he wished to speak to her, she brought up an excuse to cut him short.
As prepared as she thought she would be right after their bath, she wasn't.
She was scared of any word that would come out from his mouth and the honest truth, she did not know why.
Down to the fact that she moaned, that was another thing she faked a bit just to help ease the worry she knew he would be getting.
And when Liu Xueyi finally stopped his hand movement on her skin, she attempted to protest when she felt his presence grow closer.
"Huh. Xueyi what's going on?" Andromeda inquired but before she got the chance to turn her head and see for herself, she felt his weight press down on her and her lips was captured instantly.
Her breathing stilled as his warmth circled her body, pressing his strong muscles against her back.
Instinctively, she pushed back, wanting to feel the comfort his body provided so much but when she realized the situation they were in she broke the kiss and stared into his eyes.
"Xueyi."
"I'm not alright," he finally declared while tracing the side of her smooth face with his fingers.
"What's the problem? Are you hungry?"
Even though she knew the reason, feigning ignorance was her best bet especially since he was staring at her like someone who wanted to devour the life out of her.
"I..." She swallowed when she saw his dark onyx eyes shimmer with desire.
"The meal is coming. You just have to wait a bit..."
"I do not need food, love," Liu Xueyi's deep voice cut in.
"I need you." His eyes glazed over her face and then down her body, suggestively.
By the time he brought them back up once more, she was shocked at how deeply his hormones had raged as she felt his hard-on press on her butt crack.
"I want you. All of you, Andy."
"Xue..."
She wasn't even given the chance to think properly when her lips got claimed without any warnings, silencing her and shutting her down even before she could sense it.
Her eyes widened at his unexpected action and she felt dizzy, causing her head to fall forward but Liu Xueyi was not having it and he chased after her lips.
He didn't spare her any amount of time to register what was happening when he forced her mouth open and slid his hot tongue into her mouth.
Andromeda felt her brain go into a complete shutdown the moment she felt his tongue colliding with hers.
Her breathing ragged from the loss of air but he was just starting with her.
Taking matters into his hand, he turned her around, while keeping their lips joined and sucked on her lower lip, nibbling the delicate flesh to tease her.
All he had planned to do was to kiss her till she forgot her anger and spoke to him.
And since she was moaning from his massage, he thought of causing her pleasure and leaving her alone.
Her only remedy would be having a conversation.
All of these were his plans but the second his lips met with hers... His plans went down the drain and he forgot himself.
"Xueyi....stop," Andromeda demanded weakly when she successfully stopped the kiss to catch her breath.
She could feel her body turn hot under the influence of his love and his hard-on poking at her core through her nighties.
Rather than obeying her, his lips found her neck and he nibbled on it.
She managed to pull him back and placed both hands on his chest but he refused to shift further away from her, still keeping her close to him while meeting her surprised stare.
"What...what are you doing?"
"I'm hungry," he informed her, ready to play her games.
"Listen, I..." Once again, she got silenced when the naughty being trailed her neckline with kisses.
"Continue," he added teasingly while dropping kisses at the nape of her neck and pulling her close to kiss it even deeper.
Andromeda's mind was sent into a complete reload.
"I'm hungry," he whispered against her cleavage before moving up to claim her lips for the second time, desperately trying to satisfy this burning need inside of him.
She could feel her body heat up in response to those soft kisses, like a fire being fed more contentment bursting up the sparks.
"Liu Xueyi."
She gasped instead, her sweet voice was nothing but a complete turn-on for him as his desires only heightened further.
"Andy, don't hold back," he whispered desperately.
When her lips finally parted to speak, Xueyi sealed her lips hard once again, expressing his need and showing just how much he wanted her.
This time around, Andromeda equally reciprocated his tempting kisses, opening her mouth further to give him more entrance which Xueyi took a quick opportunity of and slid his tongue in once again.
It was both hot and welcoming. Holding nothing back their lips moved in perfect sync with tongues colliding in a well-known dance.
She was breathless, but the naughty Xueyi wasn't done yet and kissed her neckline once again.
"Fine," Andromeda declared and brought his face up to stare into his eyes. "You win. Make love to me already and make me moan your name," she demanded boldly.
"I love it when you say my name Andy, it only makes me want to hear you scream them instead," he whispered sexily.
He felt hot and so did she. She felt her core clench from those words fuelling her innate desires and need.
"Then do it."
