After the long fifteen days of new year break, Li Juan finally returned to Jing city, to the place which she hated due to the gruesome memories implanted in her mind.

Thanks to someone, she began to love Jing city again, which gradually filled the voids of her home.

However, the flight from H city has got delayed because bad weather, the penthouse lacked the usual warmth which made the four walls, their home.

Since it would take hours for Lee Tae Yang to reach Jing city, Li Juan decided to clean the pent house and wait for her fiance by preparing his favorite dishes.

As she bought groceries on the way from airport, Li Juan busied herself in the preparation of dinner after getting rid of her tiredness by a quick shower.

Once the clock struck eight, the doors of the penthouse were almost kicked open and revealed Lee Tae Yang's charming countenance.

As his gaze wandered and landed upon the woman who was standing in the kitchen counter, he rushed towards her while throwing away his bag and trench coat.

"Welcome ho-" Li Juan's words of pleasantry were stolen by a pair of hungry lips in a glimpse. Even before she could get an account of the situation, her body was pushed towards the kitchen counter by the man who was devouring her lush mouth without any second thoughts.

He always used to be gentle and soft with her and it was a rare sight for Li Juan, to see Lee Tae Yang in his over bearing beast mode.

It was true that they are meeting after several days, but that doesn't mean that he can choke her to death by kissing her without giving her a break,

As Li Juan felt the intense throbbing of her chest due to the lack of air, she pounded on to him as a plea to release her.

Once Lee Tae Yang got enough of the sweetness of her juicy lips, he let go Li Juan whose reddened face screamed of breathlessness.

"Are...you...trying...to...kill..me," Li Juan spat out the words while trying to steady her breath.

"I..almost...died..while...waiting...for...that..stupid..flight to land," Lee Tae Yang said before circling her waist and settled his head on Li Juan's shoulder, inhaling her calming scent.

They remained silent until both of their breathing went back to normal.

"Aigooo, my poor baby," Li Juan chuckled as she wrapped her thin arms over him, "You have reached safely now, what is there to worry?"

"There is nothing to worry, since you are here," He pressed his burning lips on the nape of her neck and tried to roll up the sweat shirt which she was wearing.

"Nah...nah...not now," Li Juan grabbed his wandering hands and stopped Lee Tae Yang from undressing her.

"Not now?" His lips curled into a cute pout as he tenderly touched the sensitive spot on her neck, "If it is not now, then when?"

"Pffttt," Li Juan tried to control her giggle, before pushing him away,

"Go and take a bath. After that let's have dinner and think about other things later,"

"Hmm, let's do that," Lee Tae Yang agreed to her without any objections and took a look at the kitchen counter, "What did you cook?"

"Your favorite abalones," She enthusiastically replied,

"Is it done?"

"Yeah, everything is done. I will arrange the table while you take a shower,"

"Hmm okay," He reluctantly let her go and turned to head towards the bedroom,

However, before entering the master bed room, Lee Tae Yang stopped in his tracks as an idea popped up in his mind. He tilted his head and glanced at the girl who is cleaning after the cooking.

"Did you shower, Xiao Li?"

"Yes, I showered as soon as I finished cleaning the house," Li Juan replied casually without averting her focus from organizing the utensils on the cupboard.

"But you don't look like a person who have taken a shower,"

"Huh, what are you saying?" She turned and found Lee Tae Yang standing right behind her, with an innocent look on his face.

When did he came closer?

"What did you say?"

"You don't look like a person who have taken a shower," He repeated in a teasing voice,

"Ehhh," Li Juan who was taken aback by his words, touched her damp hair in puzzlement. "I just took-,"

Even before she could finish her sentence, Lee Tae Yang's big palm smeared some fine flour on her flustered face.

"Oho honey, you look dirty," He scrunched up his face as if he saw something unclean, "Let me help you clean up,"

Lee Tae Yang scooped the dazed Li Juan in his arms and swiftly carried her to the bathroom,

"Yangyang, what are you doing? Put me down," She protested as he shown no plan to let her go,

"Honey, you are going to fall down," He warned and faked a gesture to let her loose, scaring her out of her wits.

Li Juan quickly wrapped her hands on his neck and glared at the man who was smiling sweetly at her.

How dare he came up with such a crooked plan to eat her up as soon as he returned home.

"Let's bath together," He suggested with a devilish smirk and entered into the bathroom.

As soon as they stepped in to cold tiles of the bathroom, Lee Tae Yang's nostrils were hit with the aromatic scent of essential oils and herbs.

"Ahha, it seems like you prepared everything earlier," He took a sniff and scanned the half filled bath tub,

"You, little liar, why did you throw a tantrum earlier?" He lowered his head and nipped her pouting lips,

Li Juan wish to dig a hole and hide from his teasing. Since Lee Tae Yang's flight was late, she guessed that he might be tired and prepared a hot bath to relieve his weariness. But who would expect that he will take her actions as an invitation to bath together,

As soon as Lee Tae Yang put her down, Li Juan made a vague effort to run away from his grasp. however even before she could move, her slender body was pulled towards his broad chest.

Li Juan gazed at his obsidian eyes which were capable enough to intoxicate her mind and succumb her soul.

Under his mesmerizing smile's charm. She failed notice that he has already shredded their clothes.

As she remained dumbstruck at the man who is naked, a gush of heat spread over Li Juan's body.

His strong and muscular body was beyond comparable to any artistic master piece and it held her captive. A moment ago, Li Juan wished to run away from him, but the moment her eyes got fixed on his well-built body, her feet refused move as if it is glued to the ground.

When Lee Tae Yang noticed Li Juan's sparkling eyes as she probed every inch of his body, an evil grin bloomed on his lips.

Even after spending countless days and night exploring each other's bodies, it was still a wonder for Lee Tae Yang to watch Li Juan who becomes spell-bound every single time he removes his clothes.

Her deep dark eyes which are famous for their typical stoic cold expression, fails to hide her fluttering heart along with her blushing face in front of him,

Lee Tae Yang raised his palm to brush away the flour sticking to her beautiful face and moved closer to her.

"There is enough space in the tub, so let's bath together," Without waiting for Li Juan's reply, he carried her and entered into the bath tub,

Lee Tae Yang made the girl sit on his lap facing him.

As the hot water caressed her soft skin, Li Juan woke up from the muddled state only to cover her eyes in embarrassment.

Both of them were stark-naked in a cramped space where their bodies remained closed to each other,

Lee Tae Yang let out a chuckle as he saw her shy actions.

"Covering your eyes does not help, Xiao Li, I can still see you," He reminded with a grin and grasps her slim waist to reposition, as her beautiful back facing him,

Li Juan's mid night curly hair cloaked over her rich honey colored skin like swirling snakes.

With wet fingers, he gently removed her hair to other side and pressed his lips on her shoulder,

"I have seen every inch of you and you have seen mine too, then why are you still shy?" He breathed into her ear in a deep husky voice,

As his hot breath sends tingling sensations to her body Li Juan shudder in response,

"I don't want to be known as a pervert who oogles on men's body," She mumbled,

"You and your dumb excuses,"

Lee Tae Yang gently pulled her towards him and allowed Li Juan to lean on his chest,

He tilted her face to a better angle, placed a kiss on her forehead and smiled,

"Look at me as much as you want,"

"You always puts my needs in consideration and it burdens me," Li Juan confessed the truth.

"Xiao Li, we have already discussed this," He rebutted immediately,

"Aren't we doing it on mutual consent? If you don't want it, let's stop it...right now," He loosened his grip over her,

"I am scared, Yangyang," She pressed her palm over to the arm which is wrapped around her, "I am scared of all these happiness. What if something goes wrong and we end up in sorrow?"

Li Juan shared the things which were fogging her mind. Ever since she started to live with Tae Yang, her life has filled with nothing but happiness and peace. The stable flow of life always followed by a terrible fate.

"Xiao Li, we are getting married in a month or two. Let it be happiness or sorrow, we will face it together," He assured and kneaded her tense shoulders,

"Nowadays, I am repeatedly having a nightmare," She settled her head on Lee Tae Yang's shoulder for a sense of security, "I am drowning in blood pool,"

"When did you saw this nightmare?" He inquired without showing any of his worries,

"I am not sure about the correct date. In the beginning, it was just a pool of icy water, but recently it has converted to a blood pool. No matter how hard I try, I couldn't swim to the surface...Something was pulling me down,"

"Maybe it happens because you still have the memory of nearly drowning in Xi river,"

"I know I shouldn't worry about silly things like this but I couldn't help but to worry whether these dreams are warning me of something terrible that is going to happen,"

"Please stop worrying about things which may or may not be happen in the future. Didn't I promise that I will always be with you. Whether it is going to be sorrow or pain, we will experience it together, " Lee Tae Yang re-assured her and traced Li Juan's voluptuous curves with a tinge of amusement,

"It seems like you finally listened to my words,"

"Huh?" Li Juan arched a brow at his comment.

"You actually gained some weight," His roaming hands traveled to her twin peaks and captured them.

As his lanky fingers tickled her tender flesh, enjoying the weight and ample softness in his palm.

"Hubby, we are here to take bath," Li Juan tried to remind him as she reached out for the bath sponge.

"Really?" With a smug smirk plastered on his gorgeous face, Lee Tae Yang pinched the hardened buds on her bounty bosom, making Li Juan squeal in pain and pleasurable sensations washed over her,

"You are an unruly beast, CEO Lee," She blamed in between heavy breaths,

"Of course, I am a beast and I'm going to lock this beauty in my castle," He placed his muscular leg on hers and locked her under his grasp.

"It is our world and I will not allow anyone to enter into our world or come in between us," Lee Tae Yang nibbled on her ear lobe as he took over the bath sponge from Li Juan's hand to start scrubbing her,

As the couple immersed themselves in merriment after a period of separation, little did they knew, that the one who is going to enter their world and meddle in their lives, has already become an unavoidable part of their lives.
