Roses in Flames

The man standing at the door was wearing a loose camouflage t-shirt and casual trousers.

His long, dark eyes were still slightly sleepy, clearly indicating that he had just woken up.

Ye Yuntang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a strange emotion swept through her heart.

She never expected that beneath his cold and hard exterior lay such a delicate heart.

"I'm a demon who's been starving for hundreds of years. In the dead of night, Captain Xiao, throwing yourself at me? Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

The man narrowed his dark eyes slightly. "If you're not on your period, how will you eat?"

After exchanging a glance with him, Ye Yuntang reached out and pulled him into the apartment. "This is a rare opportunity; I can't let this opportunity slip away."

After closing the door, she took his wrist and led him towards her bedroom.

Xiao Lin glanced at her slender white fingers gripping his wrist; her strong, sharp features softened slightly.

Ye Yuntang's bedroom was completely different from Xiao Lin's cold and impersonal gray-white style; she decorated it in a very girlish way.

This contrasts sharply with her glamorous appearance and domineering personality.

Ye Yuntang's four-piece bedding set was pink.

She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like to see the tall, rugged, and handsome captain lying on top of her.

She was already itching to get started and couldn't wait.

"Captain Xiao, lie down quickly, I want to take a picture of you."

She reached for her phone.

The next second, the man's large hand pressed down on the phone. "No, if you take a picture of me, I'm going back."

Ye Yuntang clicked her tongue. "Stingy."

She pushed him to lie down on the bed.

He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was tall with long legs. The moment he lay down, her bed seemed to shrink by half.

His strong shoulders pressed the pink sheets into several ambiguous creases, and the lace trim on the pillow brushed against his muscular arms. The collision of hardness and softness was like a piece of cold, hard iron, trapping the room in a gentle fragrance.

There is an indescribable ambiguity and taboo surrounding it.

Seeing Ye Yuntang staring intently at him, her beautiful eyes shimmering, Xiao Lin's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. "To sleep or not?"

Ye Yuntang nodded quickly, "Sleep."

She hugged her pillow and lay down next to the man.

She propped her chin on her fingers, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Why did you come to sleep with me? Don't you hate me?"

He glanced at her with his dark eyes. "When did I ever say I hated you?"

I asked you if you liked me, and you said no.

Xiao Lin stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. "It's late, go to sleep."

Ye Yuntang, "..."

Only one soft-light wall lamp was on in the room.

After being pulled into the man's arms, Ye Yuntang looked up at him.

From her perspective, all she could see was his sharp, sexy Adam's apple and his thin, cold chin.

She couldn't resist reaching out and poking his Adam's apple.

"Captain Xiao, thank you so much!"

Xiao Lin reached out and grasped her erratic fingers.

"Sleep peacefully."

Ye Yuntang suddenly lost her sleepiness. She leaned her face closer to his ear and said, "Sleep with me, and I'll give you a reward, okay?"

Xiao Lin looked at her. "What reward?"

She traced her fingertips from his chest to his abdomen, and then whispered three words in his ear.

Xiao Lin's body suddenly tensed up.

He pursed his thin lips and remained silent.

"Would you like a reward?" She lightly scratched his well-defined abs with her fingertips through his clothes.

Xiao Lin's breathing was somewhat heavy. "Ye Yuntang, stop trying to seduce me..."

She interrupted him, "Just tell me, do you want it or not?"

As soon as she finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

He wrapped his long, slender hand around her waist and pulled her close to him.

She closed her eyes and returned his kiss.

A raging fire spreads, shrouded in ambiguity.

When the kiss ended, he buried his handsome, angular face in her neck, his breath hot and scalding. His large hand grasped her slender white fingers, his rough fingertips caressing the base of her thumb. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he uttered a single word in a low, husky voice, "I want it."

When Ye Yuntang heard that word, her heart seemed to skip a beat.

She buried her face in his broad, muscular chest. "I don't know how. Can you teach me?"

The man gave a low "hmm".

……

The sound of rain outside gradually subsided.

The moment Ye Yuntang looked up, she found the man looking down at her. His eyes were dark and intense, like the midnight starry sky, as if he wanted to devour her.

He was a very good teacher, patiently and attentively instructing her in areas she had never explored before.

I don't know how much time has passed.

He tilted his head back slightly and leaned against the headboard.

Her facial contours were taut, and her sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

At the end, his eyes were tinged with a sinister yet unsettling dark red, his temples were soaked with sweat, and his overflowing hormones brought out the ultimate masculine charm of a mature and tough man.

Ye Yuntang couldn't help but lean forward and kiss his slightly parted, panting lips.

He raised his large hand and cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

When the kiss ended, he pressed her against his chest. "How could your ex-husband bear to let you go like this?"

"Why bring up that spoils the mood when we're having such a nice time?" She poked his collarbone in annoyance. "Besides, you're the first man I've ever rewarded like this."

He looked down at her.

Her beautiful eyes were brimming with tears, and her cheeks flushed red, making her look stunning.

A smile curved his thin lips.

Ye Yuntang rarely saw him smile like that; it was a bit roguish and mischievous.

It's still pretty.

With her teeth white and straight, her facial features no longer appeared so cold and sharp.

"What are you laughing at? You should feel honored to be the first person I reward."

He gave a soft "hmm," and said, "Next time, shall I return the favor?"

Ye Yuntang threw herself into his arms, grasping his large hand. "Where should I return the favor?"

"Where do you want me to use it?"

Ye Yuntang whispered two words in the man's ear.

The man's body tensed suddenly. "Ye Yuntang, you are really... bold."

"If we're not bold, how can we see the unknown side of Captain Xiao?"

He pulled her into his arms, turned off the light, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't talk anymore, go to sleep."

His breath on her head was hot and scalding.

She wrapped her arms around his lean waist, closed her eyes, stopped teasing him, and obediently went to sleep.

She soon fell asleep.

The man holding her opened his eyes; he couldn't sleep.

He looked down at the woman in his arms, knowing she was dangerous and poisonous, yet she was like a poppy, possessing a fatal attraction.

It drew him unconsciously closer to her.

Time and again, they broke through their own seemingly impregnable defenses.

He repeatedly indulged her in touching his most hidden vulnerabilities.

Time and again, their minds were thrown into turmoil by the eye contact they exchanged.

Time and again, he was uncontrollably defeated by her captivating charm.

He knew perfectly well that she was just playing a game of lust without any emotional connection.

He sighed softly, and tightened the grip on the woman's waist.

Ye Yuntang, what should I do with you?
