Stealing Your Heart

“First time?”

A masculine voice lingered near the ears. It sounded casual, yet urgent.

The man paused for a moment. The warm chest on her back seemed like it was going to overheat. His cool lips kissed on her skin in quick moves. It was obvious that he wanted this woman now, but he was holding himself back. “You can still stop now before you regret this.”

“I’m not going to.”

The moment she finished her words, the man behind her held onto her waist and pressed onto her on the bed. In the dark, she could not see his face. She only knew that the man was impatient and his body was boiling hot. It was there that magic was on his hands. Every spot of her skin that he touched felt like it was on fire.

She was afraid and she was nervous. She wanted to push him away but when she thought about her mother and brother in the hospital, she grabbed onto the bedsheet under her instead.

Suddenly, it was as if her body was torn apart. It was painful, physically and mentally. To stop herself from moaning shamefully under the man, she bit her lips and kept quiet.

The man was strong and there were a few times that she could not take it and wanted to push him away.

“No—”

Suddenly, Lin Xinyan woke up from her nightmare. Her eyes were widened and her eyes looked around the room before landing on a man’s eyes.

She was shocked.

She jerked into a sitting position and she sounded incoherent as she said, “Who— Who— Who are you?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking this?” The man’s voice was low. He had neat short hair, a pair of brown eyes and a beautiful smile. He stared at the tear tracks on Lin Xinyan’s face. “Did you have a nightmare?”

Lin Xinyan grabbed onto the blanket. It was an understatement to say that it was a nightmare.

She had not dreamt about that night for many years. The dream had been so realistic. It was everything she never wanted to recall. To have dreamt about it felt like someone had roughly tore away the blood clot on her old wound.

“You saved me?” She remembered suffocating in the water and losing her consciousness. She had no idea what happened afterwards.

“Yes. To be more accurate, I asked someone to save you.” The man held a faint smile on his face.
