Stealing Your Heart

Shen Peichuan nodded, adding, “I know. I’ll be back permanently after another month or so.”

The couple remained in their embrace a moment longer, basking in each other’s presence. After a while, Sang Yu murmured, “Let me go. I want to take a shower.”

He refused and bent down to kiss her. She quickly shied away, chastising him, “As punishment for what you said, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight.”

With that, she took her clothes and headed for the bathroom.

“Sang Yu…”

“Say anything more and you’ll have to sleep there two nights.”

He dogged her steps to the bathroom and tried to negotiate, “Can’t I do the punishment next month? I just got back and you’re forcing me to sleep on the couch?”

“No. Otherwise, you won’t remember and learn from your mistakes,” she answered firmly.

Isn’t it just too cruel to make me sleep on the couch when it was so difficult for me to come back?

“Sang Yu…”

“Three days.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll stop talking.” At this rate, he would have to stay away from the bed for four days. That was most definitely not worth it.

Shen Peichuan sat down on the bed and stared at the bathroom door. Unbidden images of Sang Yu taking off her clothing and showering swam through his mind. His breathing grew heavier. Realizing where his thoughts were heading, he shook his head vigorously to get rid of them.

If he continued with these perverted thoughts, he would not be able to sleep tonight.

Getting to his feet, he headed for the living room and took out a bottle of cold water.
