Chapter 300: Leg Accessory

Shui Xian tried to avoid Raelle's eyes that felt like whirlpools sucking his soul in and he also tried to disregard her words that felt like spells enchanting him. He crouched down and took off her shoes. Then he helped her in taking off her blazer before removing her shirt as well.

He was being a gentleman trying to just remove her dirty and wet clothes. There was no other purpose. At least, that's what he kept telling himself. Whether he managed to convince himself or bury down his desires was hard to say. But one thing was for sure that the feeling of her satiny skin under his hands really was making his mind buzz.

Raelle silently cooperated with him and let him do as he pleased. She was being served, why would she mind that? 

Shui Xian turned off the water when the bathtub was filled and put Raelle inside the bathtub filled with warm water. As he sat on the edge of the bathtub he asked, "Is the temperature of the water okay for you?"

"It's fine," answered Raelle. 

"It might be a bit hot," said Shui Xian. "But it's because I don't want you to catch a cold."

"I won't catch a cold," replied Raelle. "But you sure will if you didn't take off those clothes."

Shui Xian leaned over as he said, "Since I helped you take off your clothes, how about you help me as well?"

Raelle didn't reply, instead, she extended her arm and started unbuttoning his shirt without a word. In the end, it became torture hard for him to bear because even after removing his shirt, her hands didn't retreat but instead started roaming on his chest. Her finger pads started drumming against his skin while her expression showed, she seemed to be in deep thought.

Shui Xian caught her mischievous hand and closed his eyes to take a deep breath before saying, "Honey, don't do that."

Raelle blinked at him as she asked, "Why? You aren't joining me?"

Shui Xian poked her forehead, "I feel like until I really agree to join you, you're really gonna keep asking the same thing again and again."

"Didn't I tell you, I won't move on unless I accomplished my task?" retorted Raelle matter-of-factly.

Shui Xian licked his lips and looked at her for a moment before sighing in resignation. He pulled down his pants and stepped inside the bathtub on his own. He sat right behind her with her back against his chest and his legs around her body. 

"Is it okay now, my queen?"

"I think so," answered Raelle.

Shui Xian chuckled. Raelle leaned back on his chest to rest her head on his shoulder. Shui Xian's hand wrapped around her waist and his face buried in her neck as he took a deep breath letting her smell invade his senses. Only when he did it did his mind seemed to come to his senses. 

"You know when I called you during the day," began Shui Xian with his lips pressed against her shoulder. "I was really missing you. When I asked for that hug, I really needed it."

"Then isn't it a good thing that I came to offer you that hug?" asked Raelle.

Shui Xian's lips hooked up as he hummed, "Hmmm... It's really great that you heard my desperate calling and came here for me." His lips caught the tip of her ear as played around licking it and nipping it. "Thank you for coming here for me."

"Is there a need for a thank you?" asked Raelle. 

"There is," answered Shui Xian. "You actually did something that is so not like you. This spontaneous decision led to so many things going wrong on your way to me and yet, it didn't stop you at all."

"You can call me stubborn," said Raelle. "Once I want to do something, it becomes my goal. I won't back off unless I accomplish what I want. A little rain can't possibly stop me."

Shui Xian bumped his head with her hers saying, "Silly, what if it had been a storm?"

"And you think a storm can stop me?" asked Raelle in return.

Shui Xian sighed out when he looked at the conviction in her eyes. It was strange but he could actually see something in her blank eyes. How weird!

"I got it. Nothing can stop my waifu!"

"That's true," agreed Raelle.

"But don't do it again," Shui Xian repeated himself. "It really hurts my heart knowing that you walked for so long. Your feet must be sore now."

Raelle pushed up her foot out of the water giving him the perfect view of her long, white leg and those cute toes that wiggled around showing him that she wasn't sore at all. "You really underestimate your wife. Just ten kilometers are enough to tire me? I don't think so."

Shui Xian pinched her cheek saying, "Do you even know what tiredness is?"

"I know," answered Raelle. "It's when you don't feel like doing anything. It's when you aren't able to support your own body to even stand up. And all you want to do is lay down wrapped up in a blanket like a silkworm."

Shui Xian chuckled out, "Certainly, my wife gives the best descriptions."

Shui Xian helped shampoo her hair and served her as a devoted husband. Feeling her squirming around making his hardly suppressed desires stir up again, he reprimanded her softly, "Baby, don't move around."

"Fine," said Raelle and stopped moving around. 

Shui Xian didn't want this bath to turn into anything else. He believed that once he purely had a bath with Raelle, her obsession of having him join in for a bath will definitely wear off. And that's why he was trying really hard not to do anything else.

But merely her presence was making everything quite difficult. So hurried up and finished this bath soon. He put on loose trousers and wiped her damp hair. Then wrapping her in a big towel, he picked her up and brought her out of the bathroom. 

"I can walk. I am not even dirty now," said Raelle when he picked her again. She wasn't that lightweight, then why was he suddenly obsessed with carrying her around?

"Maybe it's because I haven't seen you for days," answered Shui Xian. "So now, I'm addicted to holding you in arms. It feels good."

"Really?" questioned Raelle as he put her at the edge of the bed. 

"Really," said Shui Xian as he touched the tip of her nose gently. "Also, didn't I tell you before? I'm a clingy husband. Since you won't act clingy, I will. If it's in my power, I might soon become your leg accessory!"

"I am okay with having a husband," told Raelle. "There is no need for a leg accessory."

Shui Xian was truly amused by her words. As if he could really become her leg accessory. She really took everything way too seriously and literally. But that's what made her different from others. 

As he was about to stand straight, Raelle held his arm and made him turn his head to look at her again in surprise. Before he could ask what happened, she had already pulled him down and her soft lips pressed against his own. Shui Xian looked at her in a daze before he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss. 

Raelle pried open his lips and her tongue slithered inside his mouth. Shui Xian allowed her to do as she pleased. Her tongue licked every corner of his mouth. And as the tip of her tongue grazed against the roof of his mouth, he felt a tingling sensation. As he tried to catch her tongue with his own, her slippery went back to her territory.

Shui Xian angled his mouth and raced forward to catch that slippery tongue that was just teasing him so brazenly. Soon, their tongue rolled together, not fighting for dominance but more like harmoniously enjoying this mutual teasing.

Both of them only pulled away when both of them felt the lack of oxygen. Raelle's lips were a shade brighter than before. And Shui Xian couldn't move his eyes away from those moist and soft red lips. 

Hearing a doorbell, Shui Xian went over to put on a shirt and open the door to see his assistant carrying a laptop. He extended it towards Shui Xian saying, "Master Xian, this belongs to President Raelle."

Shui Xian took it and nodded before saying, "Send my dinner to my room. Add a soup as well."

"Got it," replied Ma Jin and hurriedly left.

Shui Xian closed the door and went back to put the laptop bag on the coffee table. He suddenly recalled something and asked, "Babes, where is your phone? I've been calling you for an hour."

And only after he asked that question did Raelle realize that she hadn't taken out her phone since the time she turned it off on the flight.
