Chapter 441 Tension
Chapter 441 Tension
Yu Dong ignored the way his gaze made her uneasy, especially the hint of flare in his eyes, it felt wrong that was so wrong the way his eyes were making her aware of the fact that he was a mer and a beautiful one at that all over again. She turned her head awkwardly aware of the fact that he was looking at her and cleared her throat, ” So do have any massage oil or something of the sort that I can use, it would be hard massaging your back without it.”Xiao Hua nodded as he pointed to the cabinet that was sitting next to his bed. ” Centre drawer, it’s sitting on the very back of it make sure you don’t make a mess of my things.” And then he laid back down painfully aware of how his stomach has simply flipped all over the second Yu Dong had made eye contact with him. Something he wasn’t very, not even perversely proud of because it only let him know just how affected he was by even the slightest bit of action from Yu Dong.
Just now when her gaze glittered with shock and something more something that he couldn’t see because she turned her head away from him, Xiao Hua was sure that his entire body lit up with what can only be described as his head being messed up because just one heated glance from her was enough to make his pulse quicken and make his entire body light up with a sheer need that he has never felt before. No woman has made him feel like that ever before and he wasn’t sure how he was going to take it, he wanted Yu Dong which was a sure thing but at the same time, he didn’t want to make any trouble for her because of his emotions for her.
He heard her rummage around the cabinet as she finally pulled the small bottle of oil that was kept at the very back of the drawer and looked at him before finally asking, ” Can I?” She tilted her head towards his waist.
He should say no. He should turn her away and tell her that there was no need for her to touch him but if he did that then he will only be giving himself away. If he wanted to be around him then he needed to learn how to handle her, considering she was still his business partner and part boss.
He slowly nodded and let Yu Dong sit down at the edge of his bed as she poured a generous amount of oil into her hand before rubbing them together and placing her hands down on his waist and Xiao Hua was certain that if his skin didn’t burn before it was sure as hell going to burn now because as soon as she placed her hands on his waist, Xiao Hua felt like he was going to pass out from all the frizzy feelings that were running high inside him. His nerve kicked up the pace and he felt his pulse spike up when her hand went a little lower on the small of his back —— it was safe to say that he almost turned to saddle Yu Dong but he somehow maintained whatever dignity he had in him and didn’t do anything like he wanted to.
Yu Dong’s hands skimmed lower and lower before she started sliding them up and Xiao Hua felt like he was going to melt into a puddle of nothing but a hot mess. What else was he needed to do to stop himself when the source of all his delicious dreams was massaging his waist running her hand over his bare skin?
As her hand started to massage the spot that was hurting the most on his waist, he heard her speak. ” Are you feeling all right?”
It was a simply question..there was no need for his body to ring all the sexual chords that he had all at once but something about Yu Dong being with him alone in a dark room was setting him off in a way it should never.
And maybe she too was messing with his mind because he didn’t understand why she was speaking in that low, sensual voice of hers. You know what maybe scratch that, he did know why she was speaking like that, it was late at night and she didn’t want to wake anyone in the house, her carefulness only made Xiao Hua dive deeper into the pool of shame because here she was taking care of him and then it was him who was just doubting her sincerity for something else.
” You don’t have to hold back if I hurt you,” she said as she eased the pressure with which she was massaging his waist and damn if that wasn’t enough to make him swoon.
Why couldn’t she have been a bozo of a woman? Someone who was crass and careless, or at least anything that wouldn’t have made him want to jump on her because at this moment he very much wanted the exact same thing that he never would have done if it was any other woman.
Clenching his fists, he ignored his nerve endings that sprung to life and made his blood run hot, his stomach flipping. ” I am fine you don’t need to worry about me, just do what you are doing.”
Yu Dong heard the rough edge in his voice and thought that maybe her touch was hurting him, so she eased the pressure even more and increased the spiritual energy that she was using to heal his muscles that have been hurt because of the fall. She ignored the mouth-watering scent that the massaging oil that Xiao Hua used along with the urge to bury her face in his neck, it was stupid that she was even getting such thoughts when she had a husband waiting for her at home.
No matter how good-looking Xiao Hua was, she needed to keep her hands to herself. These feelings were something that she has never felt before and it might be purely because she never had any romantic experiences with any of her husbands, it was more like a take responsibility and then fall for the kind of thing but no matter how and what was the reason for her to take them in her life, she couldn’t let them down.
So, heaving a breath she squashed the stupid feelings that were surging in her heart, she needed to take care of her husbands and her children. There was no time for her to do something as stupid as hurting a mer whom she couldn’t even give a good future to, Xiao Hua was a good mer but she could never give him what he wanted.
” The oil smells really great,” she made a casual remark wanting to ease the tension that was running between the two of them, though Yu Dong was oblivious to Xiao Hua till now it was impossible for her to remain so when she saw the heat in his eyes while he was stripping his shirt for her.
Though it was highly possible that he was just infatuated with her and maybe whatever they had —— this tension that was crackling between them will ease in a few days.
Xiao Hua heard the slight crack in her voice before he raised his head and looked at Yu Dong, he didn’t know whether it was his seductive scent that was working or him being half naked but Yu Dong’s face was glazed with thin beads of sweat, he smiled before a devilish idea popped in his mind and he turned his head to face the front again and muttered, ” It helps me ease the tension in my body, usually I use it to massage myself on my own, that’s the secret of my supple skin, shame it comes in a small bottle that I find it hard to rub it every inch of my body.”
Her hands came to a swift stop just as Xiao Hua expected them to, he turned his head ever so slightly and looked at her face that was a mask of nothing but shock and embarrassment. ” What is it?”
”It’s nothing, I think you are better now,” Yu Dong ignored the comment that Xiao Hua just made, just as she ignored the way the image of him rubbing oil over every inch of his skin popped into her head. She didn’t know whether he was trying to flirt with her or was teasing her on purpose but Yu Dong suddenly felt like the small bottle of oil was like a hot potato as she placed it on the cabinet and stood up from the bed as if she was stabbed with a bloody needle. ” I think I will leave you alone, Xiao Hua… I mean, I need to go home and Chi is alone and I don’t want to leave him for a long time, I will see you in the morning.” Then without waiting for his response, she basically ran out of the room, and she was running away with her back turned, Xiao Hua didn’t see her face that was flushed as a tomato.
