Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111

They slowly withdrew, feeling breathless and unsure of how long the time had passed since their cheeks had grown too warm and flushed. They remained locked in each other’s embrace in silence with their foreheads still pressed against each other.

Alix had never really understood the craze behind being in relationships but if kisses felt so good, then she was beginning to see the charm.

"What are you thinking?" Jin asked with a quiet smile.

"How the kiss felt so good."

He felt he was flying in the sky but in all honesty, he hadn’t expected such a truthful response from her. She was hesitant until a few moments ago but it looked like the kiss had shed away some of that shyness.

Or maybe all of it, he thought.

"That makes me very happy to hear," he said.

He noticed she was slightly cold so he wrapped his jacket around her and adjusted it a bit.

"Actually your arms feel warmer."

"But guess it would be too odd walking like that."

Jin tipped his head to the side. "Do you want me to give you a piggyback ride?"

Alix paused. "We’re not kids."

"But we’re a couple. Couples do all sorts of lovey-dovey things," he tapped on her nose once.

He bent halfway and signaled. "Come on. Hop on."

Alix was slightly hesitant at first but eventually climbed onto his back with her hands around his neck. Lifting her thighs, he stood straight and started walking merrily.

"You look too much at ease. Am I not heavy?" She frowned.

He glanced over his shoulder and smiled. "Actually, I wanted to say you should eat more."

"I’m fine the way I’m. Do you want to make me a pig? How will I fit in my clothes?"

He raised his brow. "Do you care about that?"

"Why did you think I wouldn’t?"

"You’re always so calm and composed like...like the Buddha."

"I thought such worldly things like weight and fashion were beyond you."

She rolled her eyes. "I have been the CEO of Ren Designs. I like good clothes and also look good in them."

He chuckled. "Point noted."

Alix felt the view from Jin’s piggyback ride felt fresher than just her walking around on her own. She stared at Jin’s right profile that looked more handsome and inviting than ever. The curve of his neckline almost made her swallow a gulp.

I should get more of these piggyback rides, she thought.

I shouldn’t have run my mouth, Jin, on the other hand, cursed himself.

As much as he enjoyed riding Alix on his back, her bouncy chest pressing against his back was a whole nother experience he wasn’t prepared to face.

Alix noticed a faint hint of a flush on his cheeks from the back and blinked, puzzled.

Maybe I’m indeed heavy? Is he getting tired?

Something then occurred to her.

She arched her brow, amused and with a sly smile, leaned further, encircling her arms around his neck until her face pressed against his. She made a point to push her chest on his back as far as she could. Immediately, she heard an intake of a sharp breath and a visible swallow of saliva.

"Y-Yup," his hoarse voice was barely able to speak.

"Are you sure? You look quite red. So I’m indeed heavy."

"You’re not heavy at all..." he said, breathless.

Alix moved her lips near his ear and whispered huskily. "I’m glad then. I plan to have more piggyback rides in the future. It’s fun."

A sharp shiver jolted his earlobe with her warm breath tickling it.

My heart is going to explode...

His brow twitched incessantly and he imagined himself in the hills of the Himalayas, meditating with full concentration.

Heh. It’s fun teasing him~

"Oh my, what happened to you? Your face looks so red," Rosa said. "Was it too cold outside?"

Jin smiled tiredly. "I guess so..."

I felt extremely hot though!

Alix shrugged. "I felt very warm and comfortable though. Right, Jin?"

He glared back at her.

A little too comfortable you were!

"By the way, why is Alix on your back?" She curiously asked.

"I was a little tired, so Jin wanted to give me a piggyback ride," she smiled.

Somehow, I’m regretting it now...Jin pursed his lips.

"Aiya, that’s so sweet! Jin is such a good husband. Anyway, you two should head up to your room and rest. You have to leave early in the morning to head back to the ship, right? Go, go. Have a good sleep you two~"

Returning to their room, Jin carefully helped her lay in bed.

"I could have walked till here."

He scoffed. "It didn’t seem like you were ready to leave my back anytime soon."

"Did you want me to?" She asked with a meaningful smile.

The delectable warmth of her breasts pressing against his chest flooded his senses again and he felt a bit conflicted to answer that question. He was trying very hard to not look in the direction of her chest.

"I’ll carry you till the ends of the earth, so no," he lightly tapped his fingers on her cheek. "I wouldn’t want you to leave. You can have the piggyback ride as long as you want."

Even though it’ll be a test of my patience.

"I think you’ll die if you carry me for that long."

He smiled. "I have no complaints if I die a sweet death in your arms."

She stared into his beautiful and genuine black irises that glimmered with nothing but doting for her. She didn’t know what to make about the skip of her heartbeat but with her arms still looped around his neck and her grip subtly tightened, she drew him closer. Before he could make sense of the moment, her eyes fluttered shut and her soft lips pressed gently against his.

Though stunned by her sudden initiative, he quickly came to his senses and kissed her back, softly biting on her lips. The third kiss was longer than the ones they had shared in the vineyard fields with none seemingly wanting to stop.

It was eventually Jin who broke it, his breaths all chaotic and haywire. He felt he was standing at a very dangerous boundary and if he didn’t take a step back now, holding back would be impossible for him. He was more than happy with their first kiss and didn’t intend to take things any farther until she felt truly comfortable.

He cleared his throat. "You...you rest. I’ll be back after a quick shower." Content originally comes from novel⸺fire.net

Though when he tried to move, he felt her arms still locked around his neck.

Alix said, her gaze still faintly clouded after the kiss. "I like that you’re a gentleman but I don’t feel like being very gentlewomanly at the moment so why don’t you do all those things with me you were anyway going to imagine doing with me in the shower for your relief?"
