Take My Breath Away

After a long while, her face burning red, Blair put on her slippers and dashed out of Wesley's bedroom. She ran back to her room and buried herself under the quilt. She didn't even bother to close the door.

Her hands were still shaking from the excitement; her heart was racing rapidly. Biting her lower lip, she tried to compose herself. She had ended up giving him a hand job again.

This was the second time he had made her do it for him. Do it once, and there would always be a second time. His heavy breathing and sensual groans echoed in her head the whole night.

Wesley walked out of the bathroom after a second shower. She wasn't in his room anymore. He looked at the messy bed and grinned broadly as he recalled what had happened only moments ago.

He was lost in the memory when his phone started to buzz on the desk. It was an unwelcome distraction as it interrupted his reverie of the beautiful moment he had with Blair. He walked to the desk and picked up the phone.

Niles. A dash of displeasure flashed across Wesley's eyes. His stupid brother always called him at odd times.

"Wesley, did I wake you?" Niles asked when the call connected. Without waiting for an answer, he continued, "Could you lend me some money? I have fallen in love with a female star. But my salary is not anywhere enough to pursue her. Just give me fifty thousand dollars. Okay?"

"No. I don't have any money to give you." Wesley refused without the slightest hesitation.

"What? Why not? Are you saving up for something?" Niles asked, disappointed. He knew that fifty thousand dollars was not a big deal for his brother.

"Yes, I'm saving," he admitted bluntly.

An evil smile appeared on Niles' face. "I have heard that a man crazily saving up his money is a man in love. Brother, you're being mean to me for a woman? Who's the lucky girl?" he asked, though he already knew the answer.

"Zip it!"

"Bro, come on. It's just fifty thousand. It's a piece of cake for you. Don't be so stingy. You're bringing shame on the Li family."

Wesley wiped his hair with a towel. He sighed and agreed reluctantly, "Fine, I'll see what I can do."

"Great! Now, that's how a man of the Li family should be like." Niles was excited, a happy smile crept up his face.

"When will you return the money?" Wesley asked in a strict tone.

Niles' face fell. "You have never asked me to return the money you have given me before…" he said glumly. "Fine. Maybe next month."

"You'll have to repay the double amount."

Niles went silent for a moment; then he hung up.

'Is

e, Wesley let Blair stay in the car and went to the shop himself. In no time, he came back with a paper bag full of hot sugar-fried chestnuts.

Blair couldn't wait. She opened the bag and to her surprise, besides the hot chestnuts, there were also some sugar-fried haw apple, fried chips and some other snacks as well.

The delicious smell made Blair's mouth water. She couldn't help but take a bite of the haw apple. "It's sweet! Oh, but it's a little sour too."

Wesley looked at her. "You don't like it?"

Blair shook her head. "It's fine. Just a little sour. I like it."

"Good."

After returning to the apartment, Blair went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. She wanted to see what ingredients they had because she wanted to cook something for Wesley.

Wesley came into the kitchen and put a peeled chestnut into her mouth. "Eat."

As she chewed, she reminded him, "Don't peel anymore now. They are still hot." The chestnuts were freshly fried and were indeed pretty hot. She had wanted to eat them in the car, but had given up since they were piping hot.

"They wouldn't be as sweet and delicious if they got cold," he said casually and turned around to peel the second one.

She stopped checking the fridge as she repeated his words in her mind.

She stared at Wesley's tall figure; a warm feeling coursed through her heart. This man could be so heartless sometimes, and other times, he was incredibly considerate. It was sort of a love-hate feeling.

Blair busied herself with cooking, while Wesley continued to feed her the chestnuts. After eating more than ten of them, Blair shook her head and said, "No more. If I eat all the chestnuts, I wouldn't be able to have dinner."
