Chapter 913: In The Moonlight (part one)

"I'm not nervous. But what if your parents don't like me?" Leena said to Kevin. To tell it accurately, she was only worried about what his parents' opinion would be. His sister was about the same age as her. They should have a lot in common and get along. In addition, Leena was agreeable and many people liked her. She had never argued with anybody else except for Justin, who was always picking on her.

"Listen to yourself. You sounded absolutely nervous. Don't worry. Although my father is strict, he is reasonable. My mother is amiable. There is no doubt that she will like you. There won't be a problem between you and her." Kevin was sure of it. His mother was the gentlest one in his family.

"Really? I hope you are not lying. I know nothing about your family and I am new at this 'Meet The Parents' thing. I am afraid that I'll blow it and your parents will hate me." She was about to meet her in-laws. Just the thought that she wasn't the princess of Leng family anymore but the daughter-in-law of Gu family made her pout. The change was too abrupt. She had some new roles to adapt to all of the sudden, a wife, a daughter-in-law, and a sister-in-law. On top of the heavy worry, she also felt the pressure from the overwhelming responsibilities. Was she capable of playing all these roles? She had doubts about it.

"Silly girl, I told you that you had me. What are you still worried about?" Kevin asked as he placed his hands on her shoulders. He gave her a resigned smile.

I don't want to put you in an awkward position. I'll figure out a way by myself." Leena took a deep breath as if to prepare herself for a tough trial. It had been said that it was the husband who was put between his mother and his wife that was in the most difficult position. She didn't want him to go through that.

"Atta girl. I have faith in you. You can do it." Accompanied by a sudden odd feeling rushing through him, Kevin's eyes gleamed as his gaze set on her pursed lips.

"Do I have something on my face?" Leena asked after she felt his warm gaze on her. Her hand instantly went to touch her face as she wondered if she had missed washing a spot during her bath.

"No. Your face is clean and pretty," Kevin said with his desire evident in his eyes. He was a normal man who had needs. He thought he had waited long enough and Leena should be ready to do the most intimate thing normal couples did by now.

Then why are you looking at me like that?" Leena averted her eyes from him. Kevin seemed to be extremely tender and enchanting tonight. It was as if he wanted something from her. She blushed uncontrolledly with that thought as her heart raced inside her chest.

"Leena, can we?" Kevin's stare turned even more intense. She had no way to back out. He had already waited long enough for her.

I..." Leena stammered as she tried to express herself. She raised her head to look at him. She was too smart to misunderstand his actions.She never expected him to pop the question so directly.

"I won't force you if you say no. So don't worry. I can always give you more time to know me." Kevin pressed his lips together tightly. Since he had promised her that he would respect her, he would fulfill his promise and wouldn't pressure her into doing anything. He could just take another cold shower to kill the need that was burning him.

Leena gave Kevin an ardent stare. Then without any word, she tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him on his lips. She had been thinking of doing it since she came back. However, as a girl, she had restrained her emotions and hadn't taken action until he raised that question. Now she had a good reason to approach him.

Kevin was stunned by the kiss. Leena was not the type of girl who would do such a bold move. He froze in shock the moment her soft lips touched his. It took him a few seconds to recover from the beautiful surprise and gather himself. He closed his eyes, cupped her face, and took over the kiss.

Leena didn't want to conceal her feelings for Kevin anymore. Nor did she want to fight the fact that she was in love with him. She had decided to jump into this relationship with both feet, willing to give him both her body and her heart.

Kevin's gentle kiss was slow as it pressed on her skin. Every touch it made was like a breeze that caressed her heart. Love requires courage and she was never a coward in love. All she could wish for that moment was a long happy life with him. She was resolved to remain devoted to their marriage till she grew old, for better or worse.

With the clothes off, Leena's perfect figure was exposed to Kevin. Never had he thought that a sweet girl like her could have such an enticing body.

She was not like the woman he loved. Neither their eyes, their eyebrows, nor their figures were the same, and yet he was fascinated by her. The woman under him had completely occupied every fiber of his being. Both his heart and mind were hers and that very moment was just theirs.

"Leena, are you ready?" Kevin groaned heavily at her ear as he held back his urges. Beads of sweat were on his forehead.

"Yes." Leena nodded. Her face was flushed crimson. She was so nervous that she kept her head tilted, afraid to look at him. This was very different from the last time. They were both sober now. She felt shy.

"Relax. I'll be gentle," Kevin whispered and kissed her lips softly. The courageous and unyielding soldier had now turned into a gentle and warm man.

It had been a while since their first time. He positioned himself and kissed her one last time. And then it happened. They were one. Leena furrowed her brows when the pain of his invasion got her. It was relief that the pain didn't last long before it was replaced by pleasure. She moaned loudly with all the feelings it had stirred inside her heaving chest, sweet nervousness and ecstatic excitement.

Outside, the night was tranquil. The still curtain flapped after a breeze had visited it. The bright moon hung in the sky, affectionately spilling silver light on everything. After a while, as if afraid to disturb the two people in their bedroom, it slid behind the thick clouds. Leena's feeling for Kevin grew more in the midst of their intimacy. She didn't think she could leave this man anymore.

Kevin cherished her. It was miles away from how rough he had been last time. He was gentler at her. Tonight was their first lovemaking after they got married. He wanted everything to be perfect.

He could feel how much Leena loved him. Thus he told himself that he would be faithful to her no matter what. He would try his best to fall in love with her.

His senses were sharp. He could read how much she loved him on everything she did, be it her subtle movements or mild words. He wouldn't let her down.

Leena felt exhausted the moment they stopped. She didn't even have the strength to move her fingers.

Kevin smiled evilly and walked into the bathroom naked as if Leena wasn't there. His naked body made her face redder. Despite everything, she still wasn't used to them being this exposed to each other. Regrets came to Leena when she recalled her initiative. How come she couldn't control herself before him?

She knew Kevin didn't love her, but she would try to be a better woman for him. She was charming and she believed Kevin was an upright man. He had told her that he would eventually love her since they were married. Hence, she didn't care that she had fallen in love with him first. She would just wait for him to love her back.
