"Doesn't really matter where you sleep. You're hurt and I am not comfortable with you sleeping alone. Thus, I am here as your sleeping companion." Ou Chengtian held her tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go even an inch.
His body had long been strung up to the point of driving one crazy; even the shower he just took only minimally reduced this tension.
But the moment he saw her, his desire flared up again, as if there was a blazing fire in his body, burning brighter and brighter, beyond control.
With her wide, phoenix-like eyes, Liyou's feigned toughness, and the confusion that lurked beneath, were all captured by him.
His gaze lingered on her face before finally falling on her crimson lips.
