34 Unruly Hands

"Thank you," she said with sincerity and hugged him tightly as her tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Her sniffing fell to his ears and he had an urge to ask. But, closed his mouth seconds later. He simply hugged her and listened to her heart beats echoing his.

The prickling warmth inside in the limbs due to gratitude prompted her tears At the same time, there's that desire to live longer. With her illness, nothing is definite. This brought on the sadness in her.

But she reminded herself, not to get ahead of it. Staying positive is the most important thing.

After finally calming the disturbed mind, she freed herself from him.

Much to his dismay. He was still enjoying the softness of her body. In fact, there was that notion to kiss her but reminded himself to take it slow. By hook or by crook, they'll end up on the bed together anyway.

"Did you cry because you are touched of your husband's surprise?"

Like a jerk reaction, there was that impulse to make her round eye movement but thinking of every single care he'd given her till this time, she heaved a sigh inwardly.

She reminded herself 'admitting it won't kill you girl.'

"Maybe"

The smile on his face grew wider and sauntered close to her. "If that's the case, where's my reward then?"

Noticing that evil arc on him, it birthed a very bad premonition.

"What reward?" she asked nonchalantly while taking steps backward to avoid being locked on his embrace.

"I always wanted one thing and you know that."

"I don't."

"Do you want me to remind you?"

There was a hint of laughter in his question.

This time, her lips twitched with a smirk and ignored him.

'Here we go again.'

Retracting her gaze, she turned her attention to the food on the table and felt the hunger pangs attacking.

"Let's eat." the man announced as he pulled a chair for her.

Gu Yao Ting, who was watching the two shook his head. Not with amusement but in annoyance.

Yan Shi turned to call out the two women but they weren't there.

Li Jie gestured her to open her mouth. With another person around them, she felt shy but the guy was insistent. Resigned, she did as what was told.

She chewed and again, he fed her.

It was like this for the next ten minutes. Her protest was swallowed down along with the food. Because every time she attempted, he fed her like she was invalid.

Yan Shi gave out low moans of satisfaction with the food as the savory taste landed in her mouth.

The sauce seeped in the chicken making it juicy and tasty.

But she likes the fish dish the best. The buttery taste mixing with the tomatoes and garlic gives a wonderful feeling of chewiness in contrast with the snapper's crispiness. She can taste a bit of sourness but it's blending well with the flavor.

"Will the two of you stop? There is a single person here." a voice around them sounded.

She blushed and signaled Li Jie to stop.

Only then did the man started eating. She sensed his occasional glances.

And she too, peeked at him when he wasn't looking.

At the moment, she felt being pampered and she liked it a lot.

Later, he handed her the knife and she sliced portions for the three of them.

Taking a forkful, she tried the cake.

"It's so good." she exclaimed.

It was bittersweet. The fruity and sweetness from the strawberry eliminated the bitterness of chocolate making them blend well together. It was rich, creamy and moist and the taste was simply mind-blowing. Instantly, the cake is now her favorite.

She caught him staring at her. But instead of that usual glinting- with-mischief- eyes, there was a solemn look on them now.

This brought about wonder in her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he answered ignoring the image inside his head.

"Oh, he's probably too aroused right now." Gu Yao Ting chuckled. The moment his words were uttered, Li Jie kicked his foot under the table.

Yan Shi felt her face became warm with the actor's words.

*****

After the hearty meal, Gu Yao Ting excused himself before he's going to vomit because of the two's subtle flirting.

Both of them went to upper deck saloon and Yan Shi lazily leaned on one side of the L-shaped sofa.

The tastiness of the food caused her to eat more tonight and now, she regretted it.

She adjusted her position by placing her two legs on the chaise lounge before adding the throw pillow behind her.

Now, she was facing the man who was sitting a few centimeters away from her feet.

She closed her eyes in sleepiness. The man stood straightaway and sat to the space on her side.

Seeing that she wanted to sleep after eating much, he squeezed her nose.

Yan Shi yelped in surprise and tried to shove his hand away but he did it again and this time as though he was stimulating her anger.

He won.

She sat up and eyed him angrily.

The pout on her lips made him want to tease her more.

He stretched his arm, but upon the reminder of not provoking her today dawned on, his hand froze mid-air. To hide his earlier intention, he settled with brushing off the hair that's covering her face before tucking them behind her ear.

Unconsciously, her annoyance abated.

She looked down and toyed with her hand in shyness.

As if being pulled by magnet, he touched the mole and circled his finger on it.

His ministration was making her ticklish in her toes.

Her initial reaction would have been to push that finger but she likes the sensation it was awakening inside her. Her lips suddenly went dry.

With her tongue, she wet them. Not knowing, this action awoken his hankering thought to kiss her. A while back, she asked what was bothering him and this was it.

He suddenly asked in a complaining tone, "Wife, where is my kiss?"

Instead of asking 'what kiss?', she bent forward and gave him a peck on the lips.

This was the reward he was asking earlier. She understood it well. How could she not know? That intent gaze was a dead give away.

She saw the man's discontented expression.

She shook her head and turned away. However, the man had a different plan.

Unable to hold it any longer, he captured her lips in second.

The sudden onslaught left her speechless, parting her lips open. The man took advantage of it and let his tongue slipped in. There's a part reminding her to elbow him but his tight hold was imprisoning her. One arm was snaked over her waist and the other supporting her head.

At the same time, sensation flooded her as his lips grazed hers making her weak. Soft and raspy cries were heard from her. Taking it as a cue, his lips demanded more, from gentle to possessive.

The desire was surging into her body. Hungrier. It was intoxicating. She found herself submitting to the wonderful feeling. Unconsciously, she fisted his hair and pushed her body closer to him.

Li Jie was lost in the sensation of the kiss and his other hand became unruly. It slipped inside her shirt.

Slowly, he rubbed her stomach as he made a circular motion on it.

The tingling buzz was making her whimper in pleasure fully mingling with his throaty groans.
