CHAPTER 590
Andromeda blinked severally while her brain struggled to understand where all of these were coming from.
At what point in their relationship did she make him feel like she was leaving him?
If she could say anything, it was that he was too perfect for her. There was no one except Gu Jun, her best friend, who loved her as dearly as he did.
Not even her father cherished her. As quickly as he could, he replaced her in his heart.
After some seconds, she finally settled her thoughts, her eyes taking in the sight before her when she noticed how shaky his was.
She could see his fear mirrored in those dangerous black orbs that seemed to want to swallow and drown someone. "Xueyi."
Swiftly, her hand joined his on her face as she nuzzled her cheek into his palm gently while soothingly caressing his hand.
"A…ndy." He released a sharp breath but still did not let go. "Do you know how hard it felt? I thought I was going to relieve the experience all over again," he confessed.
She felt the pit in her stomach tighten from his confession while fighting to keep her tears at bay to let him finish.
"I thought my love became too much for you, and you wanted space. I was ready to give it to you, even if you said you wanted a break, but deep down I knew I'd fight and protest and not let you go."
Andromeda's frown deepened. Hell no, she wasn't planning any of that.
Yes, she wanted to fix things on her own, but not this way. Not by crushing his heart.
"I can't let you go. My resolve shattered the moment I saw you at the airport and here in my bedroom. Andromeda Kai, you're mine, and I won't give up on us."
He had confessed with so much determination amidst the hurt he felt, making sure she understood where he was coming from while also claiming her and letting her know she couldn't escape him.
"I'd never do that," Andromeda blurted out. However, before Liu Xueyi could respond, she pushed forward a bit, her hand leaving his to wrap around his neck as she pressed her lips against his, claiming them for herself.
Her actions left Liu Xueyi stunned.
He did not expect it—yet, at least.
He expected her to scold him for being so emotional or scared for nothing, but then she skipped all her usual antics and crashed her lips against his.
"Aah…" his lips parted, her tongue finding its way inside like a thief sneaking in.
When their tongues met, for the first time in days, Liu Xueyi felt the burning sensation in his heart and head silently die down. Something he had tried to quench with work and other things.
Now he knew how much she became his cure and life.
Without leaving a second to spare, Liu Xueyi wrapped his hands around her waist, tightening his hold on her as her chest pressed into his, her heartbeat syncing with his.
She wanted him. She missed him. She wished to kiss away those wrong thoughts from his head while silently assuring him that he only had her heart, while several men tried.
With the same desperation and desire surging in them, they cleaved together. Her arms were around his neck, snaking into his hair as she tilted her head to the side, angling properly to deepen the kiss.
Liu Xueyi wasn't to be left out.
He wanted her too. More precisely, he needed her.
It might have been a difficult admission before because he sealed his fate to never need anyone and experience the same fate he did with Zheng Ying.
Yet, there was.
The feelings coursing through him felt strange, better than how he recalled it used to be when Zheng Ying was in the picture.
Slightly awkward yet perfect at the change in his person. His vulnerability shockingly was not irritating her in the slightest.
She was his.
She was his perfect little miss.
Pressing his lips hard against hers, Liu Xueyi lifted Andromeda up, helping her wrap her legs around his waist.
When they broke the kiss briefly, it had been to catch their breath briefly, their eyes having a shared understanding before their lips connected once more.
"Aamm umm…" Andromeda moaned into the kiss, feeling his hands roam all over her body—the net lingerie doing little to protect her from him while his hands moved to the front and gently squeezed on her breasts.
"Aaaaaaauummm…" Andromeda's moan tore through the silence in the room, accompanied by their uneven breathing as she tilted her head to the side, giving his wandering lips access to her nape, eagerly awaiting his tongue.
Pleasure and desire had never been so real, so alive, and perfect as they were today when their lips met.
She had never been so needy. He never came this close to feeling so much when he touched her. His touch was fire, and from her inside, there was a fresh spring of passion stirring to the surface.
"Xueyi…" her words had been cut off when a deep moan slipped past her throat when his fingers squeezed her nipple, tugging at it while his other hand pressed her butt cheek simultaneously.
Liu Xueyi grunted deeply as Andromeda ground her hips against him, yearning for that engorged dick between his trousers. "Yes, love?"
"I'm done waiting. I don't care about anything right now except to feel this way for you and have you take me." She paused, letting his eyes hold her gaze for some seconds before adding. "Now."
"You sure?"
She did not waste another minute, nodding vigorously as his warm fingers slid along the lines of her neck, his eyes darting from her blue ones to where he left a hickey on her neck.
"With all of my being, Liu Xueyi have me and take me."
His lips curled up, his smile clearing all of his hidden pain as satisfaction flickered in his eyes.
"My Empress doesn't need to ask twice," he enunciated. "I'll do so with pleasure."
At once his lips pressed on hers, his tongue making its way into her mouth—his territory as he led them towards his bed.
