Chapter 4 - Food It Is

He followed her over, as Ru Shi took a seat on the edge of the couch.

She was holding her drink tight with both hands, clearly nervous. He leaned over and tilted her head up to him, softly tasting her lips in a slow, long kiss. He realized that there was something so sweet in her tentative response that made him want to take his time. Explore her, inch by sensuous inch, until she was begging for more.

Then Ru Shi's lips parted. Her tongue slid into his mouth, hesitant and slow, exploring.

He growled as he scooped her body in his arms and slide back, so he was braced above her on the couch, his body pressed down the length of her luscious curves.

Ru Shi let out a breathy gasp, arching up against him as he kissed her deeper, demanding, gorging himself on her sweetness.

Her body trembled to his touch.

He gripped her waist, grinding down against her, feeling every shiver and taste of her.

He lifted his head and licked slowly across the pale swell of her c.h.e.s.t. Ru Shi gasped. She clutched his back, holding on for dear life as he teased and toyed along the neckline of her dress. 

He fought to stay in control, kissing lower, reaching to cup and stroke across her perfect b.r.e.a.s.ts.

Ru Shi let out a m.o.a.n, so he stroked again, finding her n.i.p.p.l.es hard as buds beneath her dress.

"Mu Chang?" Ru Shi opened her eyes. He stopped, poised above her, watching the ecstasy on her face. "Sorry, Kitten," he murmured, reaching to stroke her n.i.p.p.l.e again. She inhaled in a rush. "I shouldn't be neglecting you."

Ru Shi looked down at his hand and blushed. He could see her brain waking up again, realizing where she was, what she was doing, so he lowered his head and claimed those ripe lips again, kissing hard and deep until she was m.o.a.ning in his arms.

She wrapped her legs around his waist, pressing against his crotch.

He g.r.o.a.n.e.d, sliding his hand up her soft t.h.i.g.h.

He reached higher, already panting, but this time, her body tensed.

"Mu Chang," she whispered, but instead of d.e.s.i.r.e, he could hear the hesitation in her voice. "What's wrong?" he lifted his head to look at her, still tracing slow circles on the outside of her b.a.r.e leg. Her skirt was pushed up around her h.i.p.s, he was so close, so close to the euphoria she was hiding between those creamy t.h.i.g.hs...

"I just... this is all happening so fast." He stifled a cry of frustration. Fast? He has had women n.a.k.e.d, on their knees before he even left the club venue. But Ru Shi was looking at him with worry clouding those hazel eyes, and he felt an unfamiliar emotion crashing over him, Guilt! "I'm sorry." He removed his hand and carefully smoothen her skirt down again.

He rolled to the side, propping himself on one elbow so her body was lying next to him, not touching. "We can take this as slow as you need. We've got all night." Relief flooded her features. "I'm sorry," she apologized, blushing. "I know it's weird, I just... I've never done anything like this before." "Gone home with a devastatingly s.e.xy stranger?" he teased, trying to make her smile again.

Ru Shi stifled a grin, "Yes, 'the stranger' part," she clarified. "Sure, that's what you mean." he winked. "I feel like such an idiot." She turned to bury her face in the couch cushion. "You must think I'm crazy. "Hey," he touched her gently. "It's Okay." "It's just, I'm screwing this up." She lifted her head, looking at him confusion in her eyes. "I wanted to come with you, I kissed you back, and now... Now I don't know what's stopping me."

He doesn't know either, but there is no way he will be letting her beat herself up like this.

"Are you hungry?" he asked. She blinked, "What?" "Hungry?" he said again. He sat up, lifting her legs so they were resting across his l.a.p. "I was so damn distracted, I didn't eat a thing at the cinema." "Me neither," Ru Shi said. As she tugged her dress back into place, her stomach lets out a rumble. "Oh my god!" she blushed. He laughed. He doesn't even remember the last time that he even smiled, he guesses he has to try harder to win her. "Food it is then."
