Chapter 13 - Hue Hedo

Jennet was sitting alone at the dining table while having a cup of instant spicy noodles. She had not used to eating heavy meals just yet because she needed time to adjust to her new place, plus she was used to eating instant foods for the past years. It has become a habit for her now.

Well, she was not entirely alone in the kitchen because sitting beside her was the blonde man. He was cupping his cheeks on the table, enjoying her company with wide a smile.

He enjoyed looking at her blowing on her noodles before eating it. Her slightly red cheeks eating the spicy noodles made him bite his own lower lips.

Pitiful wife... The hotness must have torture you endlessly. He mumbled to himself.

He raised a hand and cupped her left cheek. Her cheek was hot in his cold palm.

Jennet froze in her seat for a moment when she felt a sudden chill was wrapping her left cheek. She raised her head and touched her left cheek. It was cold.

Frowning, she touched her right cheek. It was warm.

She looked around and suddenly she felt both of her cheeks were cold. Again, she cupped both of her cheeks and leaned back, startled and confused!

She couldn't see the blonde man was right in front of her now, half bending while having both of his palms, cupping each of her warm cheeks. His jade blue eyes were staring deep into her brown eyes that were not wary of his existence.

He observed the confused face before him with delight. His eyes then shifted towards her lips that were now red due to the spiciness of her noodles. Still cupping her cheeks, he bent forward and slowly brushed his cold lips against hers.

Jennet gasped as she felt coldness hitting on her lips continuously. Even weird, she can smell a faint fragrance in front of her. It was a fragrance that was so sweet, unlike any fragrance that she ever smelled before. Even her shower gel doesn't smell so sweet like this!

She immediately stood up and cupped her lips. She looked around cautiously. She once remembered, old folks used to say, if you smell faint fragrance when you're alone, that means, you are not alone.

Feeling the shivers ran down her spine, she immediately took her noodle cup and headed for the living-room.

She looked back at the kitchen from the living-room with a fast-paced heart that she couldn't control. She sat down on one of the sofas and continued to finish her half-finished spicy noodles.

The blonde man sat beside her, looking at her face. He smiled. "Don't worry too much wife. There's nothing scary here." He whispered softly.

Jennet emptied her noodle cup and rose from the sofa. She glanced at the kitchen. The kitchen was brightly lit and seemed... Safe.

She walked into the kitchen and tossed the empty cup into the bin. She poured herself a glass of iced water and drank it all. Then she washed the glass and leave in on the sink to dry. She left the kitchen and walked upstairs.

The blonde followed her from behind, all smiling widely. As soon as he entered the bedroom, the woman was taking off her white shirt and long slacks.

His jade blue eyes widen at the free sight in front of him. Looking at her only in her dark blue brassiere and underwear, made him gulped silently. She's so alluring and inviting him to touch her fair skin.

He's on the brink of pouncing at her!

Jennet turned around again. Why do I feel like someone with a perverted mind is staring at me? She thought.

Her room was empty and she's the only one in her own room. She shook her head. No, I am alone!

She hurriedly grabbed a towel from the clothing line and wrapped it around her body, tightly!

She grabbed her clothes from the floor and took the laundry basket along with her into the bathroom. She put her laundry into the washing machine. Lastly, she took off her brassiere and underwear from under her towel, not daring to show her naked body. She tossed everything into the washing machine and left shortly after that to let the machine do its work.

The blonde man chuckled with a mischief look on his face when he followed from behind her as she headed for the shower.

She was hesitant to take off the towel but after thinking it through she just took off her towel and left it on the hanger on the wall. She was revealing everything to the blonde man who was standing behind her.

His eyes jolted out of its socket when his jade blue eyes feasted on her from top to bottom. Nothing left his perverted gaze!

Jennet turned on the shower and she stepped under the warm water. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the water raining down her tired body as all her worries about today's event washed away.

Hot steam filled the shower area, leaving everything foggy with white-hot steam. Inside the shower area, a tall figure was standing together with the woman under the shower.

After a few minutes, Jennet opened her eyes and gasped when she saw a name written on the fogged glass in front of her.

She frowned as she turned off the shower. She took a closer look at the glass wall, reading the name written on it,

"Hue... Hedo?" She whispered softly with knitted brows. Weird, how did this name appear on the glass wall? Was it there this whole time?

As soon as she said the name, the blonde man smiled widely. He felt warmth flowed through his entire body. He leant forward from behind her.

"Thank you..." He whispered in her left ear. At the same time, a gust of cold wind brushed passed her, fluttering her wet hair in the air.

Jennet froze. She immediately crossed her hands over her exposed chests. Her whole body trembled when a pair of cold arms wrapped her slender waist under the shower.

From the dimmed reflection on the glass, she could vaguely see a man was holding her from the back. Her face turned pale as the white sheet.

Is this the female ghost she dreamt about last night? But, this is a male that she's seeing right now!

The man had long golden hair with a muscular body that was about right. However, she couldn't see his face clearly. She was frightened to even turn her head to really see his face.

She just stood rooted there, staring at the glass. Her heart pounding. So loud!

The long-haired man tilted his head to the side as he was about to kiss the nape of her neck. His high nose brushed against her jawline as a soft chuckle left his lips.

"I have been waiting for you to say my name..." He said softly and lowered his lips on the nape of her neck, giving her a light kiss.

Jennet felt her entire body shivering in fright. She felt her body being electrocuted by the light kiss.

She tried to move but she was powerless. She tried to speak but she couldn't let out even a word. But at the same time, she couldn't let her eyes pried away from looking at the reflection in the glass, staring at the man, engraving his beautiful figure in her mind.

"Hu... Hue..." Her trembled lips muttered the name with difficulty. Her heart was already beating so fast until she felt discomfort in her chest.

"Yes..." The blonde man whispered softly in her ear and lightly kissed her neck again, inhaling her scent at the same time.

Jennet's eyes rolled upward as her body fell limp on the floor, unconscious.
