CHAPTER 91
Noticing she was back to freezing as a mannequin, he applied slight pressure in an attempt to make her lips open further.
He just couldn't keep his hands or lips to himself and seeing the bite mark on her lip really messed with his head.
He told himself he'd behave once he got to her office but he already lacked self-control just watching her bite her lips in that manner.
It felt like his brain suddenly paused and all that kept repeating in his mind was grabbing her and kissing the f*ck out of her till her lips turned red.
But the moment his lips landed on hers, he couldn't tell what came over him, a different feeling occupied his senses as he slowly and sweetly dropped kisses on her lips.
Something in him willed him not do so. He didn't want to hurt her, rather he wanted her to feel this kiss and to feel his need while savouring the moment at the same time.
Andromeda's hand gripped tightly to the edge of her table based on how careful he continuously kissed her like he was keeping his desires in check and treating her lips like it was the fragile thing in the world that he wouldn't wish to hurt.
There was something about the way that he kissed her that left her heart clenching and her senses yearning for more.
It was not demanding. It was not forced. It was calm as though they were learning how to kiss. Although not amateurish, it was indeed breathtaking.
Her heart fluttered at the passionate kiss they shared and she finally closed her eyes to succumb to it, opening her mouth and granting him more access.
Why she did that, she did not know. But anytime he kissed her, she felt different and her body wanted more, craved for it and craved for him.
His tongue finally came in, hot and welcoming as it mated with hers.
As much as she tried to think otherwise, this would be one of the best kisses she had experienced in her life and it caused her heart to thump relentlessly.
For some seconds more, they took time in relishing that kiss, loving every moment of it.
He moved his hand from her chin, sliding it smoothly on her cheek as he pressed deeper into the kiss.
After what seemed like forever, Andromeda felt weak in her legs. It was her whole body melting into this.
Without thinking, she reached for his chest, sliding her hands up to his shoulders as she gave herself away.
As much as Liu Xueyi wished not to stop, he had to. And by the time he pulled away slowly, still keeping the closeness of their faces, it felt like it had been minutes since they were kissing.
His eyes raked over her face while his Adam apple bobbed up and down with each passing second.
No one spoke. Instead, they allowed their eyes to speak the untold world they were di not even know was buried inside of them.
"I…" he wanted to apologize but at the same time, he didn't. He wasn't sorry about the kiss.
If there was anything, he loved it and he would want more.
"That was amazing," Liu Xueyi complimented. "Don't bite your lips again or I won't be able to resist punishing you."
"But…" she blinked, clearing her clouded mind away. "Why do you always kiss me or try to kiss me?" Andromeda asked.
As much as she wished to shy from the topic, she knew she couldn't and she wanted to know what their relationship was.
"Why do you think?"
"I don't know. Answer me."
"Well, why do you let me kiss you then?"
"I…" her smile came slowly, warming her eyes and touching them with humour. "Let's see, I do not want to break your heart which is why I allowed it."
"Do I look that fragile, Andy?"
"No but who knows?" she winked a laugh at him, causing Liu Xueyi to nod his head at her verbal challenge.
A soft laugh fell off his lips at her challenging behaviour and even more, at how weak she thought of him.
"I don't believe you. I think you like when I kiss you and you want it. Not that lies your lips are saying."
"Sadly, you never know but believe me."
She gestured with her eyes at his hand still holding her firmly. "Mr Liu, the dinner won't have us eating it here at the office."
"It won't but we can make an order."
"Thanks, but I want a bit of fresh air. Do you mind letting me go?"
He stepped back, freeing her completely and waited for her to get her things ready.
While he was busy waiting and thing of God-knows-what, Andromeda's mind flew back to his question. 'Well, why do you let me kiss you then?'
She heaved out a deep sigh and paused, letting the smile that appeared on her lips wash through her.
'Perhaps, I like it, but do I really want to open my heart to anyone now? No. It's just to not hurt him.'
Whether or not it was self-deceit, she did not know but she was sure that her main goal was pushing through and aiming to take over as the Queen of the fashion world, being the top designer in the city.
"Shall we?" She picked up her bag and strode off to the door with him following closely behind her.
****
While Andromeda made her way to the top, Mo Feng Yi was left to watch her back should in case Mr Ma Wan chooses to get revenge.
On the other hand, she was also very angry at the fact that she got treated badly by Liu Xueyi and thought of ways to get back at Andromeda and disgrace her openly to reel in Liu Xueyi's love.
Talk about delusion.
*Shakes head*
Her fingers glided slowly on the tablet in her hand, taking time to gaze at every photo she passed through.
After her defeat, she had someone monitor Liu Xueyi and Andromeda. She was still not trusting their words of being together.
A heavy sigh fell off her lips as she picked up her phone to place a call to someone. "Hello?"
"Ma'am."
"I need more pictures, close range. Monitor them well."
"Yes, ma'am."
