'Damn.' Once again she had thrown herself into this situation and this time he was really mad. A chill ran down her spine as she faced his dark glare head on. His anger was rolling off him in waves, with a clenched jaw he looked ready to murder the person she would name - if she would name someone. She could see how he had earned himself the name Yama as the reigning underworld king.

"Well, who was it! Kitten tell me his name right now and I'll DESTROY him."

Ying Yue hesitated, she wanted to proudly say that she had defeated the men he was referring to and that if she didn't allow it she would have never gotten bruised. However, that would make him ask more questions and she knew that telling him she went to an underground fighting competition would just make him more mad. Could...could she just lie and say that she bumped into something?

"No one did it! I bumped my hand into something yesterday when I was cleaning. I bruise easily okay!"

Xi Long's face sank as he heard her words. She spoke in a self-righteous tone and he knew she was lying. Why would it take her so long to respond if it was a simple cleaning bruise? Not unless she was covering for someone else. The idea of her injured or even having someone think about hurting her set his blood on fire. He felt his pressure rise and it had definitely gone up since he had met her. The way this was going he would need BP bills to keep up with her. She was just so...unpredictable and he both loved and hated that about her. Watching her stubborn look he could tell that she wouldn't admit the truth. He knew he could get it out of her if he continued to press forward but she would only admit it out of anger and not voluntarily. He hated it right now more than ever that he was not closer to her and that she had not let him in to her personal life. She was mysterious and filled with secrets that coud hurt her or him but he had no right to know what they were. What place did he have in her heart?

Taking in a deep breath, he stared into her eyes one more time before pulling her into his arms. Nuzzling his face into her neck he held her close and tight in her arms. "I know that you are lying to me right now but I won't force you to tell me. I will wait and hope that one day you will trust me enough to let me in."

Ying Yue lifted her arms on impulse to hit him when she felt herself being thrown into his embrace. Right before her fist landed on him she was stunned by his words. Her heart was heavy and a feeling of guilt grew in her as she heard his light but hurt tone. She had immediately thought to lie to him but he had knew she had lied and respected her decision. Pulling her hand down she lightly put it against his back. His head nuzzled further into her hair breathing in her scent as he tried to calm down. The warm breath on her bare shoulder made her body heat up. His body held some weight against her and coupled with the warmth she fought her instinct to run away from him. It was obvious that she wasn't used to such actions, how long was she supposed to let him hold her? Closing her eyes she rested against him and let him hold her till he was satisfied.

Xi Long felt horrible and held her tighter in a way to squeeze out all the pain he felt through the soft body in front of him. His mind was dark as he imagined the many ways she had gotten hurt and how this probably wasn't the first bruise she had gotten based on how lightly she took it. Her jade skin had marred by a dark bruise and she didn't care. He could feel how little she valued herself and he promised to change that. Curling his fists into her shirt and hair he was about to pull away when he felt her soft hand against his back. His heart jumped when he realized that she had accepted his advance and did not fight back. This was the first time she hadn't hit him or struggled against him. A small smile fought against his face as he nuzzled into her one last time. Pulling away from her he stared at her face as he saw her with her eyes closed leaning against him. Her small rosy face was littered with sleepiness that all his previous plans were thrown out the window. He wanted to take her out and finally have a meal with her but he doubted that would happen. But no one said he still couldn't eat with her? It will be a home date and he would cook. Chuckling at her he spoke in a husky tone "didn't get much sleep? I'd love to be your pillow but I think we should move to the bed..."

Ying Yue's eyes flashed open as soon as she heard his words. Her cheeks turned hot with his words, how did she think this man was great even for a second?! He had shown her vulnerability but immediately switched back to his shameless self. "You...you pineapple head!!! I refuse to sleep with you, what pillow?! So hard I don't like!"

"Haha well kitten, I'm glad you like my body and think its hard. I do work out 6 days a week but you know its not the only part of me -"

"STOP. Stop! I don't want to hear it, I know what you were going to say you- you brute!"

"What was I going to say? I was just going to say that my legs were also hard. What were you thinking? Hmm Kitten?"

"You-you!"

"Come on tell me what you were thinking, unless..." Xi Long dipped his head down and whispered into her ear. "Unless what you were thinking was dirty Kitten? I didn't know you had such thoughts about me."

Ying Yue: ".....I hate you."
