Xiang Zhe pressed his fingers to his throbbing forehead, but his eyes were fixed at his newlywed bride at the dressing table. He watched lovingly at Shan Mei, thinking how beautiful she looked. Elegant and poised, yet so innocently childlike at the same time. He loved these two faces of her equally deeply. Right now, he missed her so much to the point of distraction, a burning yearning, to be joined with her both in body and soul.

“Senior, you were drinking a lot just now, are you all right?” Shan Mei asked Xiang Zhe in the mirror, her mouth curved in a pout. She didn’t like Senior to drink so much, knowing that he would get headaches later.

“I’m fine.” Xiang Zhe smiled inwardly at Shan Mei’s expression of concern. “Haven’t been drinking in a long time, so having a slight headache now.” Forced to drink a lot at the wedding banquet earlier, Xiang Zhe felt a loud buzzing sound in his head, and his head hurt terribly.

“You must be tired today. Go and take a bath first and rest early,” Shan Mei said worriedly, her nicely sculpted eyebrows frowning.

“That won’t do! It’s our wedding night!” Xiang Zhe gazed at Shan Mei in the mirror.

Suddenly, time seemed to freeze and the atmosphere turned almost magical. Shan Mei’s cheeks turned a crimson red as she caught sight of Xiang Zhe’s gaze moving with frank, masculine appreciation over her. She hurriedly lowered her head and mindlessly played with the wedding ring on her finger.

Moments later, she finally mustered up enough courage to lift her head slightly, and asked Xiang Zhe in a whisper, “You, are not going in to bathe yet?”

“I,” Xiang Zhe looked at Shan Mei shyly, he seemed to have an endless stream of things to tell her, but now, all he could manage to do was to get up from the bed and walk into the bathroom.

Shan Mei heaved a huge sigh of relief watching Xiang Zhe enter the bathroom and continued to remove her makeup. But as the sounds of running water ceased, she felt her heart begin to pump thunderously again. She took her changing clothes and on seeing Xiang Zhe step out, slipped past him and hurried into the safety of the bathroom.

Seeing Shan Mei’s flustered expression, Xiang Zhe shook his head in amusement and couldn’t hide a smile to his face. He turned on the stereo, letting the music fill the entire room. He wanted to wait for his beloved Shan Mei in this soft, gentle music,

In the bathroom, Shan Mei was preparing to splash some cold water on her burning cheeks. She lifted her eyes, and realised Xiang Zhe had made use of the hot water vapour to write the words “I Love You” on the mirror, the strokes of the handwriting showing such strength and determination.

“Senior,” Shan Mei’s eyes reddened, “Senior, you are such a fool,” Shan Mei mumbled to herself, but deep inside, she felt so touched by Xiang Zhe’s gesture of love.

After what seemed a long time, Shan Mei gently opened the door, her little head popping in to check out the surroundings outside the bathroom. The bedroom was bathed in dim yellow lights and soft music from “The Rose” was playing in the background. When she felt certain that Xiang Zhe was already asleep, she treaded lightly across the room to switch off the stereo. She was concentrating so hard on her actions that she did not realise a pair of eyes following her like a hawk.

Just as she neared the bed, a pair of strong hands suddenly caught her at the waist and pulled her onto the bed. She let out a scream and when she looked again, realised that Xiang Zhe was looking down at her.

His gaze locked on hers, and for a moment Shan Mei felt his dark eyes penetrate into her very soul. It was only moments later that she finally spoke in a stammer, “You, I, thought you were asleep already?”

Xiang Zhe flashed her a suggestive smile, “I, miss you too much.” Shan Mei had long conquered all his thoughts, He looked at her with his smoldering eyes.

“I’m sorry, was I in the bathroom for too long?” Shan Mei inhaled the scent coming from Xiang Zhe’s body, a mixture of fresh soap and primitive manly charms. She could feel herself drowning, drowning under Xiang Zhe’s smoldering eyes, his distinguished good looks, his deep husky voice. She felt a sudden dryness in her throat and instinctively swallowed. In helpless anticipation, she watched as Xiang Zhe’s firm, sensual lips slowly descend to hers...

"Shan Mei’s body is so soft," Xiang Zhe thought as he kissed Shan Mei tenderly on her lips, trying hard not to let his own nervousness and anxiety show. He opened his eyes and saw Shan Mei’s eyes tightly closed, her lovely face immersed in the bliss of the closeness they were sharing. A long shudder rippled through him. When he lifted his mouth from hers, he buried his face in the curves of her breasts, wanting so much to feel the soft and tender touch of her and to inhale her intoxicating sweetness.

Shan Mei’s hands came up to lovingly stroke his hair. She felt so happy, so warm, so peaceful. Xiang Zhe loved her. Besides that, everything else paled into insignificance.

Xiang Zhe lifted up his head to look at her and swiftly began to kiss her with wild abandon...

Shan Mei felt overwhelmed by Xiang Zhe’s kisses and began to struggle for some breath, for some control.

Xiang Zhe felt her stiffen and looked up to realise that Shan Mei’s lips were already red and swollen from his savage kiss. He felt his heart contract, angry with himself for being so rough and impatient with her.

He propped himself up on one elbow while his other hand came up to touch her bruised lips, “Am I frightening you?”

The thickness in his voice told her that it was an effort for him to speak at all. Shan Mei saw the concern in his eyes and she didn’t want Senior to worry for her anymore. She smiled at him and reached out to caress his straight nose, his rugged cheekbones, his sensuous lips. Suddenly, realising that her actions were too seductive, she blushed and withdrew her hand instantly, her eyes shyly fixed on the pendant Xiang Zhe wore around his neck. Other than this, she couldn’t find any way to gaze into his scorching eyes,

Xiang Zhe could feel Shan Mei’s gentleness and his heart twisted at her innocent beauty.

“My darling,,” he muttered hoarsely and brought his hand to caress Shan Mei’s curves through her nightgown, his fingers eager yet clumsy.

Gradually, he felt Shan Mei’s body respond to his touch. Encouraged, he let his hand trailed down further, and his fingers slipped beneath her nightgown, Shan Mei trembled, Xiang Zhe’s feather light caresses on her burned skin were a sweet torture. Instinctively, her lips parted, wanting to gasp out loud but her fast fleeing morals told her not to make any sounds.

Xiang Zhe took advantage of her parted lips to seize her mouth in another violently tender kiss, his tongue seeking hers hungrily.

When he finally removed her nightgown with unsteady hands, he drew in a deep, shuddering breath, his eyes wide with admiration. For a moment, he didn’t touch her, content to just cradle her in his arms forever, Shan Mei’s milky white skin and sensual curves seemed to have cast a spell on him, he closed his eyes, savouring this perfect moment.

“Senior?”

Shan Mei’s sudden shift under him set him afire. With his usual deliciously smile, he murmured huskily into Shan Mei’s ears, “Let me love you, I want to give you my all.”

Shan Mei nodded shyly and lifted her arms to encircle Xiang Zhe’s neck.

"Yes, because of you, I was able to walk straight towards your love fearlessly. Because of you, I am giving myself to you, hoping that you will cherish my love and treasure my heart," she reminded herself as her heart swelled with joy.

Gradually, as Shan Mei found her tense body giving way to gentleness, she decided to give her all to Senior, and in return, receive his everlasting stream of love.

Xiang Zhe felt himself entwined in the web of love that Shan Mei set up, waves of pleasure washing over him, devouring him. Shan Mei felt Xiang Zhe’s lips in the hollow of her throat, burning hers, and her nails dug unconsciously into Xiang Zhe’s back, holding him closely to her. Painful sensations were coming from Xiang Zhe’s back, making him more excited. He lovingly caressed Shan Mei’s curves and kissed her luscious lips over and over again. Shan Mei glorified in his frenzied kisses. Sensing Shan Mei’s passionate response, Xiang Zhe increased the pressure of his kisses...

Moments later, Xiang Zhe reluctantly tore his mouth from Shan Mei, allowing both of them to catch some breath. Shan Mei’s breasts were heaving heavily, her face radiant with perspiration and shyness. Enchanted, Xiang Zhe dipped his head down to kiss away her perspiration, and slowly moved down, raining light kisses on every inch of Shan Mei’s body.

“Senior,” Shan Mei couldn’t stand the increasingly ticklish sensations and whispered her protest.

Xiang Zhe looked up, his face a picture of anxiety. His brow was furrowed and his hands were shaking slightly, “Shan Mei, I’m sorry, If I scare you, or hurt you, you have only to tell me. I’ll try to stop.”

To Xiang Zhe, this was also a first to him. The whole experience was unfamiliar to him in many ways and at the same time, so uncontrollable. The last thing he wanted to do was to hurt Shan Mei for this would be the most heartbreaking thing to him on earth.

“No,” Shan Mei shook her head, trust and belief shining from her eyes.

Before she could say another word, Xiang Zhe’s mouth descended upon hers again.

She closed her eyes and returned his kiss, intoxicated...

After what seemed like an eternity later, the universe exploded in a burst of colourful fireworks...

Shan Mei lay quietly, studying the man to whom she was just married to. At the moment, his hair was rumpled from sleep and there was something endearingly boyish about that. From this day, this man would be her heaven, her earth, her everything. She knew that nothing would separate them again, and his happiness would be her happiness, and his sorrow hers. He would be her pride and joy. Shan Mei felt a warm delicate glow spread inside of her. Unable to resist herself, she touched the prickly bristles starting to grow on his chin, to his chiselled jaw, over the broad expanse of his chest and the firmness of his stomach.

At the touch, Xiang Zhe stirred and smilingly pulled Shan Mei into his embrace. He settled her in the crook of his neck and teased her fondly, “I thought you already said I had firm stomach muscles years ago, remember?”

A rush of embarrassment passed over Shan Mei and she felt her cheeks redden. At her blush, his eyes warmed on her face. He dropped a light kiss on the top of her head and soothing her silken hair, and whispered, “My dear, I feel so blissful, to be able to hold you like this, I’m really blissful. I’ll love you till the end of time, I promise.”

This little angel had led him on a merry chase for six years, but he had caught her in his arms at last. And he knew he would never let her go again...

Shan Mei felt tears well in her eyes, “Senior, I love you too, really, really love you.”

Xiang Zhe felt his heart skip a beat. This is the first time Shan Mei openly said she loved him and it meant so much to him! Exhilarated, he lifted his head to look down at her and saw the tears in her eyes.

“Still such a crybaby? Looks like getting married to you is indeed very tiring!” He lovingly pinched her nose and hugged her closer, his heart bursting with the love for her.

He finally understood that happiness could be this simple, that happiness is only a kind of feeling, that giving is itself a form of happiness. These feelings were in the past so alien to him and he never knew he would be able to experience such deep affections. But now, he finally understood. Because of one special woman, Zhen Shan Mei. She brought love and hope into his once barren heart, driving out darkness and igniting his whole life with shining light again,

For a long time, they lay quietly, enjoying the blissful moments together. Later, Shan Mei finally drifted off to sleep to the sound of Xiang Zhe’s heart beating steadily beneath her head. Xiang Zhe looked at her sleeping form. Curled snugly against him, Shan Mei looked like a small child in her sleep. He brought his hand to her flat stomach and felt a wave of tenderness and possessiveness seize him. The fact that a small life may soon be forming inside Shan Mei’s womb made him smile. Shan Mei stirred, moving closer to him for warmth. Careful not to wake her, he drew the quilt up to her shoulders. Nestled comfortably in his embrace, Shan Mei smiled in her sleep, a smile that tugged at his life and moved his soul. He thanked God, if they hadn’t met in London, if the heavens didn’t send this little angel onto his car, then he would never had the chance to taste happiness, and this happiness, actually tasted so sweet.

Sitting on his new home beside the bed, the familiar Peter Rabbit looked smilingly upon this loving couple...
