The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise

"My heart won’t allow me to."

The words seemed ordinary but they held a deeper meaning. Something that made her eyes widen in surprise. There was something in his tone that made her didn’t want to break away from his gaze. His black orbs held so much care, tenderness, and love that he knew even she could read it vividly.

Slowly the tip of her tongue darted out to lightly brush over her bottom lip and his eyes that were glued to her eyes lowered to follow the movement of her tongue. The moment felt torturous to him.

She came around the kitchen island and stood before him with her hands on her hips. "Oh, really? And why wouldn’t your heart actually allow it?" Her tone was a bit unusual... There was playfulness to it and a bit sarcasm which he didn’t care about at all.

The way her green eyes blinked up at him made it really hard for him to breathe. He unbuttoned the first couple of buttons of his shirt since the collar of his shirt seemed too tight for his liking, all of a sudden.

"You really don’t know? Or you just want me to spell it out for you?" He asked and looked away from her enthralling eyes that seemed to be awakening something inside of him. Something that was in a deep slumber until now.

Woah! Get your thoughts out of the rubbish bin. By ’something’ he meant his deep feelings for her. Hold the horses of those naughty thoughts!

"And if I say that I want you to spell it out for me, how will you spell it?" Her teasing voice made Xiao Zhi Ren lose all his rationality.

He turned back, stepped towards her and trapped her between his body and the kitchen island with his hands on both of her sides. He didn’t touch her yet. But he was close enough to feel her breath fan over his face making him close his eyes.

Before he could stop himself, his head dipped and his lips brushed her cheek in a teasing manner. He felt her body stiffening before she raised her arms to push him. Xiao Zhi Ren held both her hands and as she opened her mouth to say something, he captured her lips.

With his lips pressed against hers, he could feel a tidal wave of feelings surging inside of him. It was like the incomplete puzzle piece of his life was found- one that he had been yearning to hold. Without any impatience, his lips caressed hers gently with care and love.

He pulled away slowly and fluttered his eyes to look for something in hers. All he saw was confusion in those emerald green eyes that were fluttering like butterfly wings.

For some unknown reason, he couldn’t stop himself as he let her hands go before his hands came to stay on her waist. Without delay, he heaved her body and sat her on the black marble kitchen island, gazing into her eyes for a while longer.

Oddly, she stayed quiet which wasn’t like her at all. She was that open-mouthed person who would question everything in life. But since she didn’t, Xiao Zhi Ren took it as if he was granted permission to continue.

Feeling the absence of her soft lips against his own, he pressed them against hers moving skillfully. His hand that had been on her waist raised as he traced her back feeling the warmth of her body through the thing fabric of her t-shirt.

Leaving her lips, he moved his lips to leave feather like kisses on her jaw before moving down to her neck. As he found the spot right below her ear, he heard a giggle as if she was ticklish. The sound was pure pleasure to his ears as if she was an instrument and he was loving the feel of her strings playing out music exclusively for his ears.

But suddenly something felt amiss. There was an odd irk in his heart that something wasn’t adding up here. As if recalling something, he gasped, "Giggle? Ticklish?"

That question worked like a magic word since the next moment, Xiao Zhi Ren’s eyes flew open and he found himself in the comfort of his own bed with sweat trickling down his body.

"Fu*K! It was a dream!" He cursed as he threw the pillows in frustration.

How he wished it wasn’t a dream or he could live through that dream for a little longer. But who would have thought he’d notice the fact that Ru doesn’t giggle at the very least, not like a girl. Or that she won’t be ticklish! Dreams really love to play with our feelings. He was played in the worst way this time!
