145 Lover’s privilege

"I'm open to the idea," Iris replied to Jin Liwei's question. "If there is a good opportunity to establish myself in the business world, why not? Only if it doesn't directly conflict with my music career, of course."

"If you really want to establish yourself in the business world, remember that your boyfriend is a businessman. And the top businessman in the country, if I may say so myself," he told her. "Use him however you want."

She giggled, and then looked up at his face with a teasing glint in her eyes. "What if I say I want Jin Corporation? What would you do?"

He raised his eyebrows, his mouth curved up into smile. "Easy. You'll just have to marry me and we'll own it together."

Her expression instantly froze and her body stiffened. She avoided his eyes.

Awkward silence.

There was a painful tightening in his chest at her reaction. Although he didn't regret his words, he regretted that they were uttered in such a teasing and casual manner. As a result, it sounded like a careless proposal. He wanted his proposal to her to be special, not like this.

First, he needed to diffuse this awkwardness. He measured his words before speaking to her again.

"Don't think about it too much, baby. Just know that whatever you want to do with your career, I'm here to support you. I know that you like doing things on your own, but you have a lover's privilege to ask me for help whenever you need it. Likewise, I'll ask for your help if I need it because it's also my privilege as your lover. Okay?"

"Hmm…Lover's privilege…" She finally looked up at him again, a soft smile on her face. "I like that."

Jin Liwei was relieved seeing her look and smile at him again. He held her chin, tilting it up, and kissed her. His tongue plunged deep inside her sweet mouth.

She moaned and gave as much as she got.

He climbed on top of her, supporting his weight on one arm while his other arm slipped under her silk pyjama top. His hand closed in one of her soft mounds, squeezing it lightly and flicking his fingers over her nipple.

She gasped. Her hands also slipped under his T-shirt, feeling his abs and the hard muscles of his chest. She lightly run her fingernails across his bare skin, earning a low yet loud growl from him. Delighted by his reaction, she nipped at his lower lip.

Their tongues danced together. Sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce. They sucked each other's gradually swelling lips.

When their glistening mouths separated, they looked at each other's desire-filled eyes.

Jin Liwei gave her another series of quick, surface kisses before laying down beside her. He was breathing heavily.

Iris turned her body to watch him trying to calm himself. She knew that he was already hard because she felt him through his pyjama pants while he was on top of her. She was a little perplexed why he was holding back for quite some time now. Before, he could barely control himself and would strip both of them naked for several rounds of pleasuring each other without going all the way until she falls asleep due to sheer exhaustion.

"Do you want me to help you?" she asked, seeing that he was still struggling to calm down.

Her hand reached for his crotch but he caught it before she could touch him.

"I'll be fine, baby."

"Are you sure?"

He looked at her, a gentle expression on his face. "Yes." Then he rose from the bed to turn off the lights. "Let's sleep now. You have a busy schedule tomorrow and I still need to go to the company to take care of some tasks."

"Okay."

They fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, both of them woke up at the same time. The sky was still dark outside.

Iris almost didn't want to get up from the bed but Jin Liwei carried her off to the bathroom. Her sleepiness gradually faded away as Jin Liwei washed her body under the shower. She saw that he was already hard and standing.

Unlike before, he didn't grab her hand to pleasure him. He was simply washing both of their bodies.

"Baby, no," he gasped when her hand wrapped around his erection. "We don't have time. You said that you have to be early today."

She was already stroking him. "Be quick, then."

He hissed and closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation of her pleasuring him. It had been so long. Then he opened his eyes, pulled her against him and kissed her hungrily on the mouth.

Moments later, his loud groans echoed inside the bathroom. He spurted his white release all over her but was soon washed away by the water from the shower.

"Better?" she asked, grabbing the soap to take over washing the two of them.

He grunted, still savouring the remnants of his spent pleasure. When he finally calmed down, he looked at her, satisfied. "Thanks, baby."

"Lover's privilege, remember?"

He grinned. Then his hands reached for her plump bottom cheeks, squeezing lightly. "Your turn?"

"No time. Let's hurry up. We're going to be late."

He hesitated for only a few seconds before nodding.

Within the next minute, they finished showering. They quickly dressed and then headed out to the kitchen for breakfast. Dom and the driver were already there waiting. Dom was, as usual, whining for food.

After breakfast, Jin Liwei and Iris' group went down together but separated into two vehicles.

And so their busy day started.
