Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 105 Trapped In The Crescent Swing (1)

The sound of his impatient and unnerved breaths echoed in her ears amidst the silence.

Why was it always Jin?

His feelings for Shui snatched her away from Jun. He loved Jin the most, and he suffered the defeat by the hands of the same brother.

Now in this second life that fate granted him, he resolved to stay away from Jin and any kind of emotion that led to love. But he met Ai, and a strange relationship gradually formed between them.

He couldn't give a name to it but whatever it was, he unknowingly held it closer to his heart. It was a connection that only he had with Ai. He assumed it only belonged to him.

But again…once again things led to a point where Ai and Jin crossed paths.

Just how many times do I have to lose to Jin?

How many times do I have to be afraid of him? _{does everything always turn in his favor?}

The agitation in his dark brown orbs felt familiar to Ai as if she was going through the same emotion. She could have stayed back to wait for Jun and come home together.

But remembering how Jun didn't protest dancing with Shui, she couldn't get the courage to remain there any longer. Only one fear had grappled her heart.

He was trying to move on from Shui and his heartbreak. But will this moment of closeness between them ruin everything and make him run back to her side?

If it did, then what about her? Will they go back to be mere acquaintances like how they first met?

Jun grabbed Ai's hand which Jin had held during his dance with Ai. He tightly intertwined it with his as if trying to wash off his presence from it. Staring straight into her eyes, he lifted her hand and pecked the back of it with his lips.

Ai shook hard.

"Tell me, Zhou Ai. You won't have anything to do with Jin ever again."

She clutched a portion of his shirt in her fist. "Demanding this from me is unfair. Why do you care if I met Jin again-"

Suddenly, her body sharply convulsed as she saw his pupils getting clouded with a strange dark possessiveness.

"Because it's Jin. As simple as that."

Jun enunciated the words so agonizingly slowly that she felt as if time had stopped.

He tilted his head, the dim light from outside shining upon his eyes. "As for Shui and I, I am going to announce our breakup soon anyway."

She froze. _​

Announce it…?

From the heavy bulldozer that delivered crushing blows to her until now, she felt incredibly lighter in an instant. She couldn't wrap her head around this sudden shift in relief that washed over her heart.

"Oh…"

Jun pinched her jaw and leaned deeper, purposefully caressing his skin against her neck and whispering into her ear. "Answer me, Ai."

The warning in his tone felt stronger and more unforgiving.

Her lips trembled feeling the tickle of his hair. "...I won't."

"I didn't hear," he clutched a lock of her hair and bit her ear.

A sharp gasp escaped her mouth. "I won't!"

The swing roughly swayed from front to back with their movements. The cramped space within which the two were barely fitting got hotter with their ragged breaths. Her answer provided some reassurance to Jun. But it couldn't completely ease the anguish burning within him.

He had touched her…Jin had touched her…

A raging sensation swelled in his chest. The lips that were so dangerously hovering above her milky skin until now finally made contact.

Ai stiffened. But she didn't feel repulsed.

Jun pushed Ai back farther into the crescent swing, climbing upon it and leaning on her delicate body. The swing shook fiercely again which swayed them hard.

Ai gasped, instinctively feeling afraid of falling. Jun locked the swing against the pole making it stand steady and grabbed her legs, wrapping them around his waist to ease her fear. His arm snaked around her waist in turn, bringing their bodies in an embrace.

He kissed her neck first from which he went his way upwards - to her ear and cheek. His right palm cupped her face, his fingers digging into the back of her neck. He left a trail of kisses on her chin until he couldn't hold back any longer.

Jun dangerously inched closer to her. Ai shivered and quickly put a finger on his approaching lips. It was a feeble attempt to not stop him but herself from these strange feelings that overwhelmed her.

It halted Jun just a few centimeters away from her. He narrowed his eyes, staring at her dainty finger on his lips. A low growl echoed in the swing. "It's not gonna work, Zhou Ai."

He leaned despite the barrier nevertheless. Their lips met with her finger still blocking the last centimeter. Their lips weren't actually in contact, yet she felt as if there was nothing separating them. She trembled, feeling the moist sensation of his tongue darting upon her finger.

Startled, Ai lowered it that allowed Jun to crush his lips upon her with a force that pushed her back all towards the end.

This time it wasn't an accidental kiss nor was it a kiss of comfort.

The kiss was purposeful and unhidden behind any excuses.

Jun's towering figure seemed as if it was crushing Ai, but there was a slim void between them which he let it remain to not suffocate her. Her chest heaved as she inhaled, pushing her soft breasts to touch his chest which only further fueled his desire to kiss her harder.

Ai felt her body burning. The heat reached the tip of her ears. She softly gasped when his tongue went in, and everything went hazy after that.

Her heart sped uncontrollably. Her body trembled immeasurably. The only sane thought which gave her some semblance was that she didn't want this feeling to end.

Whether it was his body that trapped her against his or his lips making a mess out of hers or his fingers traveling on her neck and chest - she wished this intoxicating moment to never end.
