Married to his secret crush

''You... Who are you?'' she asked, her voice wary.

The person's rough fingers stroked her wrist as he twirled her and pinned her to the wall.

Before she could say something, she felt a cool sensation on her neck. He licked her skin before sucking and biting the spot, ''You like this, don't you?" he asked.

The voice sounded familiar to her ears but her focus was straying everywhere and she simply closed her eyes, clutching his shoulder blades as tightly as she could.

He kissed her between the valley of her breasts and her thighs pressed together as she felt a warm sensation on the spot.

''And this too,'' he whispered against her breasts before biting her skin gently.

He pulled back from her and his lips landed on her chin, kissing her gently until they reached higher, hovering above her lips.

''Who are you?" Unlike her wary voice earlier, she sounded aroused now, her voice was breathy and desperate.

He stepped back from her and she heard some shuffling sounds.

He lit a lighter near his face and her eyes caught sight of strands of red hair.

Her lips parted in shock and her eyes widened.

''It's you.''

...

Li Shuang's eyes snapped open and she glanced at the ceiling in disbelief.

Her eyes slowly gained focus and she sat up on the bed, realizing that it was just a dream.

She gulped, only to realize that her throat was dry. She could feel this warmth between her thighs.

The tips of her ears turned red.

She stepped out of the bed and walked towards the mirror, her gaze landing on her hardened nipples. Her body actually reacted to.... a wet dream?

Li Shuang did not understand whether she should be relieved that her body was still normal and she could still be turned on by a man or whether she should be worried because of who turned her on, not to mention that it only happened in a dream.

''What 'only happened in a dream'? I sound like I want it to happen in real,'' she bit her bottom lips.

'Knock Knock'

Li Shuang snapped out of her daze and she walked out of her room before glancing in the direction of the closed door. Who would be here at this hour?

'Knock'

It was only then that she realized that the sound was coming from the opposite direction.

She turned around to look at the glass doors near her terrace and she found Mu Shen standing there. He was wearing an apron above his black T-shirt.

She gulped softly, her thoughts flew back to her dream until he knocked again, ''Neighbor,'' he called out.

Li Shuang unlocked the door, ''What are you doing here early in the morning?"

''I needed salt. Do you have it?" He scratched the back of his neck.

Li Shuang glanced at the spatula in his hand and she folded her arms in front of her chest, unconsciously pushing her breasts upward.

Mu Shen's gaze traveled down for a moment. He could see that she was not wearing anything under her shirt. This woman... did she not need to be conscious while living next to a man?

'You sick pervert, stop looking there,' Mu Shen jabbed himself in his head and tilted his head to look at her face, straight into her eyes. Oh, if anything, they were even more captivating.

''Are you cooking?"

''Yes, and you are invited for breakfast. Join me,'' When he saw the hesitation on her face, he sighed, ''Come on, don't say no.''

Li Shuang nodded in the end, ''Alright,'' she said and pointed her fingers towards the kitchen, ''You will find the salt jar on the kitchen counter.''

With that said, she turned around and walked inside the room before closing the door behind her.

Mu Shen stood rooted to his spot, stunned. Was she angry or annoyed because he came uninvited?

He blinked. But he thought she was just fine around him yesterday.

Contrary to his thoughts, Li Shuang sat on the floor as soon as she closed the door, ''Why did I never realize that I am this lusty?" her straight face had a flicker of confusion and embarrassment on it.

Earlier, she could not keep her eyes off his body. She kept checking him out repeatedly.

...

''How is it?" Mu Shen asked as he watched Li Shuang taking a few bites from everything he cooked.

They were both eating at his place and it was a very simple breakfast with some easy dishes that he learned from Jun Boyan.

''Decent,'' Li Shuang continued eating without raising her head to look at him.

Her 'decent' meant that the food was above average at least. Letting out a relieved sigh, Mu Shen started eating.

''What do you think about having a girlfriend?"

''Cough...'' Mu Shen choked on his food.

Li Shuang passed him the glass of water. After taking a few sips, he inhaled a deep breath and calmed himself.

Li Shuang frowned, ''I was just curious. Is it that hard to answer?" she was genuinely confused.

Looking at her innocent face, he shook his head, ''I just did not expect you to show interest in my private life...''

''We are neighbors, aren't we?" Li Shuang continued when he nodded, ''We even discussed life sitting on the rooftop past midnight. A little curiosity won't be that much of a sin, I guess..''

He glanced at her wordlessly.

She hesitated when she realized that he was a celebrity, ''I understand that you won't share such things with people given the scandals surrounding you,'' It must be hard for him to trust anyone when it came to his private matters. He would never know who would betray him and reveal things to the public, ''Let's drop the topic here...'' she waved her hand.

He grabbed her wrist and she paused. His palm cupped the back of her palm as he pushed her hand closer to her face. His index finger hooked around her index finger and he pressed it on her lips, ''Are you an overthinker, or are you just doing it for fun?"

Her heart skipped a beat.

He was sitting at the head of the dining table and she was sitting right on the seat next to him. Even though the finger on her lips was hers, she felt like her lips were burning when he applied a bit of pressure on her index fingers.

Doing it for fun? Doing what...?

She opened her mouth to ask but the tip of her index finger slipped inside her mouth because of the pressure that his finger applied to it and the tip of his index finger grazed on her upper lips, sending jolts through her body.

He was quick to remove his finger from her lips but she was slow to react as she kept sitting there with her index finger inside her mouth, her lips slightly parted.

He glanced at her quietly, his gaze traveled to her lips before settling on her face.

Realizing her current position, Li Shuang elegantly took out her finger from her mouth. She grazed her index finger on the pastry, taking some of the icings on its tip before she gently placed it in her mouth, licking her finger.

''I mean I was just curious, nothing else,'' Li Shuang quietly picked up the silk napkin before she wiped her mouth.

''Well, I don't want to have a girlfriend. It's too much of a hassle. What if she cries, and throws tantrums about this or that? It'd be annoying. My life is good right now,'' Mu Shen smugly said before leaning back on his chair.

''Good life, I see...By having cheating scandals?" Li Shuang threw a discreet jab at him before she pushed herself to her feet. She adjusted her dress, ''I liked the breakfast. Thanks for inviting me,'' she smiled and grabbed her clutch before making her way towards the door.

''My pleasure,'' Mu Shen mumbled as he looked at her retreating back.

30 minutes later.

Mu Shen heard loud sounds from his neighbor's place. Unfortunately, the walls were not soundproofed, or fortunately maybe.

He glanced at his reflection in the mirror of the living room. Combing his hair a few times with his fingers, he grabbed his car keys and walked out of his place before ringing the doorbell of the next door.
