As Wolf carried her, Xie Eun felt a strange calmness in her heart. She had believed that she was scared of intimacy. Every time, Si Jing had tried to get close to her, she had been terrified and retreated.So much so that she had started to plan their outings in such a way that they would not have the chance to get too close.

But this seemed to prove her wrong.She looked at his face and her fingers caressed the edge of Wolf's mask.His eyes turned darker as he looked at her. She wanted to see him.The man behind this mask.She already knew his face a bit. From the outline of his well defined jaw and the slightly pointed high nose. And yet she wanted to see his face..She was about to remove the mask when he entered the bedroom and brought her down.Within a moment,her wrist was in his hand and his eyes blazed,"Not yet.."

​​

Xie Eun frowned at this reply..Did he have some hideous scar on his face that he was worried about her being scared of?But she was not so vain..Also,she was ready to be with him and he was not showing her his face..New doubts started to creep into her heart. Did he have something to hide?Was he worried about her recognizing him when they were outside and discovering his real self?Then another thought struck her..Was he worried about his own safety?Did he think she would harm him.She knew from her little research that not many people had seen Wolf's face.It was said,he had many enemies..no no no.She heeded to clear all his doubts and hers.She was about to open her mouth and question him when..

Wolf shook his head,as he read her thoughts on her expressive face.They had been doing great until her brain started to overwork..Time to get back on track.He would not be able to answer her questions honestly so it was better to not answer them..Pushing her against the door,he moved into her body and raised her chin so that she would look at him and pressed his lips against hers hungrily.

She inhaled harshly and her hands wound around him again a bit shakily.Her nails dug into his neck sharply causing him to growl in response and turn more aggressive.He sucked her bottom lip into his mouth,his hands roving her body.They moved over her back and buttocks before slowly sneaking into the tip to caress her bare skin.His thumbs caressed the side of her breasts and his hips moved closer between her legs, until I'd run could feel the faint outline if his hard need..Finally after a long long time,when they were both dizzy with need and arousal,Wolf moved a bit and joined their foreheads while creating distance between their lower bodies.The two people breathed in each other's air and stayed like that, panting harshly, wanting more.

Slowly,Wolf pecked his way to her bare shoulder and placed a small bite there, sucking and licking,leaving a few small love bites all over her shoulder..

"Eun-a..",he breathed her name.."I want you...so much"

Xie Eun who was lost in the daze felt anthril course through her and her response was to try and get closer to him...Her response stroked the fire in him and Wolf had to use all his strength to control himself.

"But now is not the time...I want us to be together only when I have your heart.Only then will you be mine.I don't want you regretting our time together.And I don't want to have another man's shadow when we are finally together.."

Sharply,he moved away from her and turned his back,"Escape while you can...Eun-a.Go outside and give me some time to cool down.Then I will join you for dinner."

Xie Eun silently moved away from the door and followed his border in a daze.Only as the fresh air caressed her face did she wake up and realize that what he said was true. She had wanted to be even closer to him but if they had crossed their boundaries tonight then she would have regretted it later.And he had been right..She had compared her body's response to him and Si Jing. .Her body, however, reminded her that it would have been worth the regrets..Xie Eun felt alive from his kisses..As if she had clicked her best picture up to today.As if she had taken a countless shots of black coffee.

Wolf on the other hand threw away his clothes and mask and walked into the small shower stall in the room.As the cold water flowed over him, he cursed himself for being so weak when in front of her.He had no control over himself..

Xie Eun, on the other hand, wondered what was wrong with her.Wolf was essentially a stranger but her body reacted to him so strongly.Shenhad believed that she had been unable to be intimate with Si Jing because she believed herself to be a married woman.Was it the same logic now?She was able to respond to Wolf because he was her husband?

She looked down at the mark his teeth had left on her shoulder and analysed her body's response to him..Hmm..not really.She could accept that she was heavily attracted to him.He was actually an expert at seduction.

Soon after, Wolf joined her for dinner and a flurry of servers entered one after another.

Unity, Xie Eun felt shy and awkward so she avoided looking at him and finished her dinner quietly, looking down at her own plate all the while.Even as Wolf offered her small pieces of meat, she took the bites saintly with whenever downturned.The moment the main course was finished, she escaped the deck and ran into the room..Searching for her nightwear haphazardly through the bag, she dropped her jeans and scrambled to put on her clothes. Once fresh , she jumped into the bed and tried to sleep.Her mind insisted in revisiting the earlier events but she ruthlessly controlled it and forced her self to sleep.She had almost fallen asleep when the dorr suddenly opened.Xie Eun had no knowledge of the slight opening or the person walking inside..It was only after an arm landed on her stomach and she was pulled into a hard body, did Xie Eun startle awake and blinked up..Seeing the person who was her husband so up close, her heart went wild and she asked stupidly,"Ehat are you doing here?"

"Sleeping?"

"umm...didn't you say that you would wait for me to fall for you before we....".

Wolf smiled and answered," Yes...which is why we are only going to sleep tonight.I want you to know me, my touch and my smell..So that even when we part after these two days, you would feel me..."

With that, Wolf laid his head on the pillow and moved over so that her back was stuck to his chest and they were spooning.Xie Eun's sleep seemed to have evaluated and she felt as if she was sitting in a burning furnace.Her body was flushed and her face red and her heartbeat uneven..There was no way she could sleep like this.It would have been better to have consummated their relationship than just try to sleep like this..She could feel the heat of his bare skin penetrating the thin cotton of her night shirt..and all her feeling of arousal started to rise back.She resolutely shook her head and closed her eyes, denying her body the satisfaction it craved. Finally, after laying stiffly in his arms, Xie Eun fell asleep.Wolf felt the moment her body had relaxed and discarding the mask, let his guard down to sleep..This was his dream.Just being to hold her like this.He hoped that she would like his surprise tomorrow.After their time together came to an end, he would reveal himself to her.He had already given her clues and knew that she would out them together soon enough..Finall, Wolf to fell into a deep sleep with plans for tomorrow still running through his mind...

But time has a unique method of his own.Man can plan but he cannot control time..As the first morning rays entered the cabin and the small love coccoon, Wolf would realize that not everything could be controlled and some thing never went according to one's plan no matter how foolproof the planner was.

Xie Eun stretched her hands as she felt the light hit her face.Her closed eyes narrowed and shrunk away from the penetrating light.As she would have moved away, she felt a heaviness across her waist and the events of last night, rushed through her mind..
