134 Igniting A Fire

There was a complete silence shrouded around them. As they sat on the balcony, they could see the bright sunlight kissing the lush green grounds and trees that surrounded the villa. Shui Xian found this silence comforting and even her scent of roses that he had become familiar with felt relaxing.

Forget about any kind of workout, he didn't even wish to move a muscle right now. He couldn't even remember when was the last he just sat like this doing nothing at all while holding a soft and cuddly person in his arms. His eyes fixed on her fair and delicate neck. Her shrug had slid down from her round shoulders and Shui Xian couldn't help pressing his lips against her fair skin.

"What are we doing here?" Raelle had waited patiently for good fifteen minutes before opening her mouth to question. "Didn't you say we'll do work out?"

"That'd be tiring," he replied. His lips brushed against the tip of her ear as he added, "I find this position rather comfortable. Let's stay like this. Hmm?"

His voice sounded mature and pleasant to hear. Slightly mellow and charismatic. It had the ability to make anyone's heart skip a beat and make someone blush. But apparently, the one in his arms was an exception. She had no such reaction that he was used to getting from others in his life.

Raelle contemplated his words before she let her body sink deeper into his without hesitation. Since he didn't want to move, there was no need for her to do so. Besides, she couldn't deny that she also felt the same. This position was oddly feeling good to her. It was strange for her to be not doing anything, so she let herself focus on the rhythm of his heartbeat that she could feel against her skin.

Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of something and she tilted her face a little. Since he was already close to her face, when she slightly tilted her face, her long lashes that felt like half-opened sandalwood fan tickled his face as she blinked. The corner of his lips tugged up.

"Why did you move these potted flowers here?" she questioned.

Shui Xian didn't even turn his face as he continued to hold her gaze and said, "Don't you like beautiful things? I thought you should get to see the beauty of blooming flowers every morning. That's why I asked the gardener to shift these here."

"Oh..." she responded in understanding. "So, you did it for me?"

"Yes," he replied.

She blinked making his skin tingle even more and yet he didn't move away. "Thank you!" Shui Xian raised his brow slightly at her. "When someone does something for you, we should always say thank you."

"Yes, even if you don't like it," she answered honestly. "When you say 'thank you', you aren't saying it for what they did for you but instead, that 'thank you' is for the effort behind the action."

Shui Xian unconsciously tightened his arms around her. His current mood could be described easily, he just wanted to hug her. That was it! Just a hug! That's all he wanted to do now.

The tip of his nose rubbed against her soft cheek and he kept it that way without saying another word to her.

It's such a beautiful thing when you realize that you've become so comfortable with someone that just their presence is enough to soothe your heart and put it to rest. Not only that, they make you want to share everything that's been bothering you. Shui Xian felt like she was someone he could share everything with. And the beautiful thing was, he didn't even have to worry that she would laugh at him.

"Wife..."

"Hm..." Raelle hummed in reply while the pads of her thumbs were still rubbing the skin of his hands. Softly, slowly, and almost in a rhythmic manner.

"You have really soft skin," he complimented without thinking. His eyes were closed while his nose was still snuggling against the side of her face. "It's almost like holding a newborn baby."

"Have you held a newborn baby before?" she retorted.

"No," he replied.

"Then how do you know my skin is like a newborn baby?"

"Because I really feel like taking a bite," he answered sincerely. There was no lust in his eyes, no trickery. The words came from the deepest recess of his heart. And it was because he felt overwhelmed with how her presence was spellbinding him.

"You can just take a bite if you want to," she said looking at him. In fact, she tilted her head in a way to bite his chin before she said, "See? I just took a bite because I wanted to."

Shui Xian was momentarily stunned because he could still feel the sensation of her teeth grazing against his skin. It wasn't a real bite. It felt more like a cat just scratched him playfully. But this kitten in his arms was certainly lighting up the dead flames of passion in his heart now. And he was slowly finding himself defenseless against her sudden attacks.

Shui Xian didn't even think before he bit her lips. Then his lips moved against her in a slow-burning kiss. There was a tender feeling to the kiss, it wasn't rushed. it didn't accompany any other feelings except for the comfort that Shui Xian felt deep in his heart right now. He wanted to convey this feeling of comfort to her through this kiss.

His tongue darted out licked the seam of her lips, Raelle parted her lips invitating him and allowed his tongue to enter her mouth before intertwining with her own tongue. His tongue explored her mouth earnestly and lovingly leaving Raelle breathlessly staring at him.

He looked at her clear eyes that had a sheen of moisture and lightly kissed the corner of her eyes as he said softly, "You're dangerous for my heart." Raelle was breathing through her mouth to catch her breath as he added, "But I'm not even complaining."
