Lu Fang woke up in the middle of his sleep and abruptly sat up. He dreamt of the same situation again; losing his wife. Although his rest had improved since Andrea woke up from her coma, still the heartache remained to squeeze his heart from time to time.
He was brushing his fingers through his hair as he rested his elbows against his knees when he heard Andrea call out to him, "Is everything fine?"
He instantly turned his gaze to her and saw she was already sitting up, pulling up a blanket to cover herself. He sighed out of relief and asked, "I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"Sort of.. a little," she replied while pretending to massage her forehead, hiding the lie beneath her words. The truth was, she was too conscious of his presence that her eyes remained open. "What happened to you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Lu Fang laid back down but this time putting an arm around Andrea. "It was the same as always - losing you in different ways. I dreamt about it once before you were taken-"
"But, I'm back now," she said, trying to appease him.
"I know… It's just my subconscious getting ahead of me," the man said as he tightened his hold on to her waist. "I can't lose you again, Andy. I'll go crazy. I love you so much."
Andrea looked at her husband's handsome face, his eyes closed as he said those words. She felt awfully guilty, but what pained her the most was what he said next.
"Tonight, I did not take a sleeping pill. Whatever kept me up at night in the past weeks has slowly gone away… you are my cure."
It had only been hours since she met her husband, yet, in everything that he said, she felt his sincerity and anguish. She realized she needed to be accountable for all the suffering she had caused him. To think she even considered taking back Gabriel into her life when the man beside her went through all the hardships of rescuing her while living with the pain all those days.
"I'm sorry," she said as she laid down beside him. She stared at him intensely, but he was already fast asleep. She could tell he was dog tired.
Andrea woke up a little over eight in the morning. She looked across her and saw Lu Fang was still asleep. Only then did she realized they were only inches apart, and his arm remained to hold her waist. The man must have pulled her closer during his sleep, she thought.
She studied carefully his face, his eyes, his slender long nose and most especially his masculine jawline up to his neck. It really was his sexiest facial features. She looked down and saw his shirt was pulled up higher, exposing part of his lean stomach. She gulped and looked back at Lu Fang. She waved her hand at him just to make sure he was still fast asleep.
She smirked and slowly, her hands made its way to his shirt and she slightly lifted it to expose more of the man's body. She giggled silently, but suddenly she heard him cough. Her eyes grew wide and she immediately let go of his shirt. The moment she found her husband wide awake, she quickly went under the blanket to hide her blushing face.
"What are you doing, Mrs. Lu? Are you harassing me?" teased the man.
Lu Fang naughtily grinned and sat up taking off his shirt. He got on his knees in front of his wife with his legs apart and bent over before saying, "Go ahead. Babe? Go ahead and touch me."
"I don't know what you are talking about. Go back to sleep!" Andrea ordered.
He chuckled at her reaction and said, "I can't you already woke me up. You should take responsibility."
The man lied. He was previously awake when Andrea had waved her hand at him, but he wanted to spend more time with his wife in the bed. So he pretended to be asleep.
The man forcefully removed the blanked off her and when it did, her mouth parted in shock. She instinctively threw a punch at him and then an elbow, but Lu Fang perfectly blocked them and managed to secure her hands perfectly.
"Lu Fa -"
Before she could react, her mouth was covered with his. She could feel his teeth against her outer lip and his tongue forcing its way in. She resisted, but soon enough, she felt tingles on her lower body and a sensation that was immensely familiar. When Lu Fang's tongue intruded successful, she weakened to the taste of his fluid that eventually, her eyes closed. She gradually responded to his passionate kisses.
'Oh God, please help me,' she cried silently as she continued to indulge.
Lu Fang let go of her hands but directed them to touch his body. It made Andrea's sanity melt away and started pressing her palms against his chest, traveling to his abs and onto his back.
"Andy? Lu Fang? We need to hurry and go to the office." It was Alfred knocking at the door. "Andy? Lu Fang?"
They were both gasping when their lips separated. While their eyes still glued to each other's, Andrea replied to her dad, "Yes, dad! We are getting ready!"
"We need to get up," reminded Andrea.
He smiled at her adoringly before kissing her a few more times. "Good morning, my beautiful wife. I miss you terribly."
Unable to explain her surrender, she cleared her throat before defending her actions by saying, "Just so you know. I'm not usually this easy."
Lu Fang chuckled at her response. The fact that she felt guilty of kissing her own husband, it amused him fully. Still, he responded saying, "Just so you know. I'm not like this with any other woman. Only to you, Andy."
They soon got ready to leave. They were off to the Davies Group of Companies' head office as Alfred wanted to introduce Lu Fang to the board of directors and his executives.
Due to man's conquer over the Duval Transport Group, he would have to fly to Europe and get engaged more often than expected. Now that Project Zero has been eliminated, Alfred wanted more involvement from Lu Fang and Christina.
Their party bought gifts for their families in the afternoon as they were scheduled to leave by midnight from Britain. They would finally take the long journey back to their homes.
It made Andrea anxious once again. She was worried about Lu Fang's family and how they would receive her. At the same time, she was looking forward to seeing the twins. She hoped that by holding them, it would spark some memories to come back to her.
