C17 Playing with Something New

"How about..." he paused deliberately, "trying something new?"

"..."

What do you do when communication breaks down and you can't get your point across?

Yueyin suddenly wondered how she'd managed to get along with this man for the past three years. Why hadn't she realized his stubborn antics before?

Steadying herself, she replied coldly, "No thanks, I'm not interested."

As she finished speaking, she pushed him away forcefully, trying to get up, but he quickly pinned her back down.

Before her sharp tongue could utter another word, he silenced her with an overwhelming kiss.

His lips claimed hers with a fierce intensity, months of longing and desire erupting all at once. He punished her mercilessly for all the hurtful words she had spoken with that unyielding mouth.

Perhaps it was her playful demeanor when her memory was hazy, or the worried look in her eyes when she saw his injured arm, but he was convinced she cared for him.

He held her so tightly it felt as if he wanted to merge her into his very being, his possessive embrace threatening to consume her.

"You..." Yueyin struggled to speak, but only managed a single word before he silenced her again.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die!

Her mind was in a state of alarm.

As if anticipating her resistance, Jing Si grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head, while his other hand roamed freely, teasing her.

She felt something hard pressing against her, and biting her lip, she played the pity card, softly murmuring, "It hurts..."

That single word was enough to make him stop.

Concern flashed in his dark eyes as he looked at her, frowning. "Where does it hurt?"

Breathless from the kiss, Yueyin simply and directly replied, "My back."

To make it more believable, she bit her lip, her dark eyes misting over like a young animal's. Jing Si frowned and quickly got off her, helping her sit up on the bed, intending to check her back.

Her big, clear eyes darted around the room, spotting the bathroom. In a flash, she jumped up, ready to make a run for it! But she only got two steps before the man grabbed her arm.

Wow, do you have to react so fast?

Resigned, she closed her eyes, took a couple of deep breaths, and when she turned back around, she wore a pitiful look, focusing on the phone tossed on the bed. "It poked me," she said.

The man raised an eyebrow, picking up the phone, which still held her warmth. Jing Si took a deep breath and said coldly, "Come here."

When she didn't move, he repeated in the same tone, "Yueyin, come here."

"I'm not going. I have a fear of perverts," Shen Yueyin said, clutching her clothes tightly.

Jing Si: "..."

Sensing his grip loosen slightly, Shen Yueyin quickly pulled her hand back, retreating as she deftly fastened her bra strap and zipped up her clothes.

Seeing Jing Si about to get up, Shen Yueyin took several steps back, her wary expression somehow making Jing Si want to laugh.

Noticing the slight curve of his lips, Shen Yueyin tilted her head and said, "Second Master Jing, even though you're getting on in years and not many people want you, I understand I'm your goddess because I'm young and pretty. But holding me back like this is really not okay."
