Outside the window, the seductive sounds of women giggling drifted in. The atmosphere of such a place only served to heighten the arousal and passion between a man and a woman.

Ji Yuxian held Su Jiu's waist firmly in place as he laid her on the bed, his lips never once leaving hers. Their lips and tongues were caught in an entanglement that neither of them wanted to break free from.

The medication inside her mouth had already dissolved fully, leaving only the faint scent of peppermint behind. Mixed with the alcohol, the taste made for a heady temptation that latched on to his soul.

The man deepened his kiss, and his eyes grew heavy-lidded. He looked at her momentarily with eyes as dark as the galaxy with stars sparkling within. His gaze was fathomless.
