A Billion Dollar Exchange

145 Raging Emotions

They've been together for over a year, for someone who was used to sleeping with different women, that was a hard task to keep up to __being celibate.

He had abstained to prove himself to her and was still ready to wait till she was ready, he was not going to force her, never...

After calming himself for a while, Jin Yue stood up and walked to his room.

...

Xin Yong hurriedly took a quick shower and dried her body after which she changed into Jin Yue's shirt. Like the last time, the shirt smelled of him, and as she inhaled his scent her thoughts started running wild.

They were adults...

and were both alone in the house...

but nothing would happen...

Xin Yong bit her lips as she raised her hand to look at the ring on her middle finger.

Staring at it, she regretted putting the barrier between them then back then when he asked her out.

Now, she couldn't possibly offer herself to him, that would be quite humiliating.

She sighed sadly and prepared to hug her pillow for comfort in that lonely night, when suddenly a knock was heard on her door.

Xin Yong bolted up in shock. Her heart started racing at that moment and she tried to calm herself down before walking over to the door to pull it open.

Before her stood a shirtless Jin Yue, he was just putting on a trousers and nothing more. His hair was wet and currently dripping water, his body... God...

"Sweet, could you help me with your hair dryer, mine just stopped working."

Jin Yue asked after a few seconds, snapping Xin Yong out of her thoughts. She blinked severally, trying to pull her eyes away from his chests but at the end her eyes still couldn't move away.

"Oh... yeah... "

She stuttered and coughed lightly, trying to lessen her nervousness. She could feel her face and neck heating up and she didn't need a prophet to tell her that she was currently beet red.

"Yeah... where is it? "

Jin Yue asked in between chuckles, he was still standing by the door and Xin Yong was still in front of him but no hair dryer was forthcoming.

"Oh... let me get it, wait a minute... "

Xin Yong finally recovered from her trance and walked over to the dressing table to get the hair dryer.

Handing it over to him, she smiled and quickly shut the door, not waiting for a response from him.

Backing the door, her legs became wobbly and she realise when she dropped to the floor. She held her face in her hands as her body started hyperventilating.

'Why did he have to come shirtless!! '

She had been trying to pull her thoughts away from him but now she was sure it wasn't possible anymore.

In the past, anytime they kissed, she would want him to take it further but Jin Yue never went below her neck.

Ha! He was a gentleman!

Xin Yong pulled at her hair harshly as these thoughts ran through her mind.

They were engaged now but they were still going to sleep in separate rooms!

Was he expecting her to hug him and beg for him to make love to her?!

Xin Yong bit her lips sadly and quietly stood up and walked towards the bed.

...

Jin Yue stood in front of the closed door holding the hair dryer in his hands. His hair dryer really wasn't functioning but he had a choice to dry his hair with a towel but instead he chose to come ask her for hers.

He couldn't deny that he wanted to see her before he slept for the night, even if it would serve as the goodnight kiss he should have received from her.

When she opened the door, he was sure it was the devil that led his eyes to the swell on her chests. She wasn't putting on anything inside, so he could literally see through.

It took him all of his self restraint to finally pull his eyes away. When he looked up at her face, he realized that she was lost, staring at his body.

At least, he was not the only one going through mental torture...

He chuckled in his heart then helped her out of her predicament by requesting for what he came for.

...

The next one hour was extremely quiet in the large house, but the two persons who were expected to be deep in sleep given how tiresome the day was, were wide awake in their separate rooms.

Jin Yue had tried to release his tension by doing some push-ups but it wasn't working. Finally giving up, he lay on his bed confused and disoriented, earnestly praying for dawn.

Xin Yong had rolled from one side of the bed to the other, the bed was already in a mess and her pillows strewn about the room.

Seeing that none of those were working, she decided to go take a bottle of cold water and calm her troubled spirit.

Quietly opening the door, Xin Yong stepped out calmly, not wanting to wake the other occupant of the house. She walked over to the kitchen and made her way to the giant fridge, as she was about pulling it open, she heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen.

Her eyes widened with shock and she immediately turned to look at the entrance only to see Jin Yue walking in. He paused surprisingly for a bit, quite surprised to see her there.

"I... I... couldn't sleep, so... I came to take water... "

Xin Yong stuttered, she gripped the handle of the fridge tightly, trying to calm her raging emotions. All the tension she had spent over one hour trying to calm came flooding back in ten fold.

She couldn't quite place what was really wrong with her that night, all she could think of was that man in front of her...

"Me too... "

Jin Yue replied after a few seconds. He immediately started walking towards Xin Yong or rather towards the fridge...
