Chapter 43: HUGGING PILLOW

The guy looked at her. His expression said he was in pain. He tried to smile at her. He wanted to reassure her that he was okay, that nothing would happen to him.

He tried to say it all but he couldn't. When he opened his lips blood came out.

Mu Lan felt scared. She hugged him tightly and said, "Please, I beg you. Don't go. Don't leave me alone."

This time, he uttered some words. The voice was so low that Mu Lan couldn't understand. So she lowered her head and placed her left ear closer to his lips. Then she heard clearly, "I'll come back for you. I'll search for you, even if I have to go to hell. I'll find you."

Then everything went dark.

Mu Lan felt restless as she woke up from that nightmare. She was crying and sweating. Then she felt someone hugging her. She remembered that touch. It was warmer, stronger like before. Then she heard the person say, "It's okay. It's okay. I'm here now. Don't worry anymore. I'll stay by your side." Her heart calmed down. She felt at ease.

Mu Lan thought of the dream, a beautiful dream, better than the last one. She hugged a warm body. She found it stiff but she didn't let go. She felt happy that this time the person didn't let her go, didn't leave her alone. She murmured happily, "Thank you." Then she drifted to deep sleep.

Mu Liang never thought when he tried to ease her, she would hug him back. The moment she touched him, he became a statue. He even forgot to breathe.

His good conscience said to let her go when she fell asleep again. But his bad conscience said not to let her go. Again the good conscience said not to do anything that would make him regret it. Then his bad conscience said that this was his lifetime opportunity, he shouldn't waste it.

Mu Liang was in dilemma. He really, really didn't want to let her go.

Then he made a decision. He would listen to both of his conscience. Slowly he took off his sandal. Then he slipped into the cover. He laid down beside her and hugged her closer.

When Mu Liang adjusted her head in his left arm, Mu Lan faced him and hugged him tighter. Now that she felt comfortable, she offered him a beautiful smile.

Seeing her smile, his heart started racing. Then he realized his mistake. Her slender soft, soft body was touching his shoulder to toe. He felt her soft breasts and knew she wasn't wearing a bra.

Maybe she thought of him as a hug pillow, her body was relaxed as she hugged him.

Mu Liang wanted to forget her touch. But was it that easy? Certainly not!

He could feel his desire was showing up and he couldn't help it. A soft bed, slender body, warm temperature didn't help his lust for her. Mu Liang looked down to see her sleeping face. Then he closed his eye and said to himself, 'Only this time.' He opened his eyes and slowly bent down. He softly placed his lips on her forehead. He was in that position for a while. Then he forced himself to think of her as a hugging pillow and fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw what he wanted to do to her that night. That was the warmest, most desirable dream he ever had in his lifetime.
