It was not a kiss.

It was a punishment.

Lu Shen's wide hand held her waist tightly and his other hand was wrapped on the back of her neck as Hui Yin's senses were overwhelmed by fierce, almost violent, hungry kisses...

He deepened the kiss, plunging his tongue into hers. Feeling sullen about being trapped by his body, Hui Yin bit his tongue.

The taste of blood spread between them.

Lu Shen drew back, until Hui Yin could feel his burning gaze.

"Are you challenging me?"

Uh...

But Lu Shen began to kiss her again, this time even more intensely than before. His cool hands slid down to her hips, her thigh...Hui Yin put her hands on his chest to push him back, but Lu Shen did not budge at all.

The more she struggled, the more his kiss became ferocious, as if he wanted to silence her protests with his mouth. The taste of blood quickly bloomed between their entwined mouths.

When Lu Shen finally released her, Hui Yin felt a bit dizzy.

She gasped for air, and the hand that was pushing Lu Shen away clutched him closer instead. If she didn't hold onto something, Hui Yin was sure her knees would not be able to support her anymore.

Lu Shen lowered his gaze, suppressing his groan.

His body burned with lust. His whole life, he prided himself on the fact that he had never lost control, which gave him the ability to choose the best logical decisions for the company. What other people thought, what his family thought, what his choices would make other people think of him...none of it mattered.

Only with this girl...with her, the beast in his heart could easily leap out of its shackles, frightening him.

He did not know what to do with her.

Hui Yin yelped as Lu Shen scooped her in his arms and dropped her into the bed. Noticing that he quickly walked away, Hui Yin heaved a sigh of relief.

Maybe he was going to go home now?

However, Lu Shen did not seem to be walking towards the door...

Confused, Hui Yin asked, "Where are you going?"

Glancing back at the girl on the bed, Lu Shen's throat dried up. Her face was flushed, her eyes wide and doe-like. She wore a large, baggy shirt, and her slightly damp hair fell on her shoulders. Her lips were still swollen from the kiss, and her drawstring shorts showed off her slender, white legs.

Feeling suffocated, he reached up to roughly loosen his tie.

Lu Shen did not look back at her anymore as he said coldly, "Shower."

Then he went inside the bathroom and closed the door with a hard thud.

Hui Yin: "..."

Great Dragon King, did you even bring any clothes with you?
