Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

Opening her eyes, Ying Yue subconsciously stilled as she heard movement from her kitchen. Her mind went to alert as she got up from her bed with a jump. She was reaching for the wall to get a weapon just as she saw the inflatable bed and folded sheets on the floor. Staring at the items she took a deep breath before sitting back down on her bed.

'I completely forgot that I let him stay over last night.'

Controlling her breathing she calmed herself down before rubbing her tired eyes. She was not used to hearing other sounds in her home so having this sort of incident scared her into action right out of bed. It took a couple of seconds before she was able to still her beating heart and she reached towards her phone that she had left to charge. Grabbing it, she placed it under her pillow before getting up to go to the bathroom. Opening the door, she quickly peaked outside to see where Xi Long was and just as he turned his back she ran into the bathroom. Turning the tap on she washed her face and did her normal morning routine. Pulling a small cabinet she applied her skin care before checking her face in the mirror. She was not sure if he had gotten a glimpse of her face in the morning, he probably had, but she herself knew how horrendous the sight was. Her hair had been strewn all over her pillow and had slightly frizzed up during the night from her shifting so much. Slapping her face, she tried to contain her thoughts as she imagined all the worst situations of how she looked at night. Ming Ming had told her before that she looks like a gremlin (1) or Chewbacca (2) in the morning, especially after a gruelling night of fighting.

She was not like other girls and did not have much experience in dolling herself. Her "go-to" look was some lotion on her face and a tinted chapstick at most, jewellery was always at a minimum as she was never know when she would have to fight. Many people did not think about what they put on their body but every item she wore must be seriously considered. Small earnings can be used to pierce the enemy, big ones can be used to rip through ear lobe. A necklace can be used to choke someone while rings clutter the hands too much. Her current days allowed some relaxation but years of strict mindset makes her struggle to change now. This never bothered her and still doesn't, but the days she spent with him made her second guess herself. She was not going to change to suit anybody's needs but also could not handle being looked down upon. Xi Long definitely did make her feel beautiful, his attraction to her stroked her female ego but she had also had him never compliment her in a serious tone. If she went along with everty teasing statement she would be quickly ruined by that man.

Lightly pressing her fingertips into her face, she stretched it in different directions. "Am I considered beautiful?" Confusion laced her eyes, her face seemed normal to her. Tired of debating this in her head she quickly finished everything and left the bathroom. Stepping into her living room she smelt a strong scent of toasted bread filling the air. Speeding up towards the man in her kitchen she snuck up behind him before trying to steal a slice from his plate. Right before she touched the bread her wrist was caught and she was spun around and pressed against the counter.

"Good morning Kitten." A small grin was on his face as he stared at her. He knew she was awake as soon as she stepped out her bedroom and ran towards the bathroom. When she had left the bathroom and walked towards him he pretended as if he did not notice her because he was curious in what she would do. Low and behold the first thing she did was try and sneak some food from him. He thought she would at least try to play attack him but her target and focus was only on the food. He laughed inwardly as he knew she was such a glutton and would probably always put food at her highest priority throughout their future. Which is why, as little revenge, he quickly stopped her from grabbing the food. Neglecting him meant delayed food! Seeing her angry pout, a ripple of warmth flickered through his eyes. He took the short time he had to stare at her and take in her face. It was not the first time he saw her morning face but everytime he saw her she managed to look different. Her face today had a subtle glow and her skin was smooth like ice jade. Dipping his view his eyes followed her eyes to her mouth where he saw her berry lips plump and moisturized. Gulping he controlled his urges to eat the breakfast in front of him before letting her have the breakfast he cooked.

"Don't you get tired of always pulling people into your arms? Do you have a fetish for trapping people?"

Hearing her question his s.e.x.u.a.l preferences again, the grin on his face twitched while he was snapped out of his trance. 'Why does this woman always jump to extremes?? And why are they always s.e.x.u.a.l? Who even taught her this??' Xi Long felt that the more time he spent with her the more labels he got and the more apparent "fetishes" he discovered.

"No I don't. Kitten why are you always jumping to these conclusions? How do you even know about all these fetishes? Unless...," leaning in closer to her he whispered "they're actually things you enjoy..."

"Preposterous! Then can you explain why you keep trapping me? And there's a fetish for everything, I don't have to know specifics."

"I just like hugging you and who told you to always sneak up on me? Kitten, if you're so interested in fetishes I don't mind telling you mine."

"Oh really, what are they then!" Staring into his eyes she refused to back down.

"Actually...kitten wouldn't it be more fun if I just show you?"
