The golden glow of the setting sun cast long shadows across the terrace, the gentle murmur of the sea below providing a soothing backdrop to the luxurious villa. Tang Xue Mei stood by the railing, the salty breeze caressing her skin as she took in the breathtaking view.
Strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and she instinctively leaned into the warmth of Feng Shihan's embrace. His lips brushed against the shell of her ear, his voice husky and low.
"Enjoying the view?"
She turned slightly, glancing up at him with a teasing smile. "It's beautiful… but I think I like the one behind me better."
A deep chuckle rumbled in his chest. "Good answer."
His lips found the sensitive spot just below her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. The way he touched her—possessive yet tender—set her heart racing.
"Dinner reservations can wait," he murmured, his fingers tracing slow, deliberate patterns over the curve of her hip.
