Wednesday

Hou Yi awoke, and found his wife snuggled into his arms . He levered himself up and watched her continue to sleep .

All he could do is replay in his mind what happened when they arrived home last night . Yes the scene at the theatre distressed him, as his wife was hurt emotionally and physically, and he felt it as if it occurred to him . However it seemed the break down barriers that had existed between them since their marriage .

He wanted everything from their relations.h.i.+p, but Anna despite what she agreed to allow to occur in public, ultimately was reluctant to have anything to do with him, in the privacy of their suite . He knew how understandable that was due to how Lu Jinhu had hurt her in their relations.h.i.+p . Her focus was on revenge, but in his mind there had been something else, almost as if Anna felt that she owed some loyalty to Lu Jinhu for some reason .

However, what happened last night, ripped away any sense of a residual loyalty to Lu Jinhu . It not only brought her to tears and caused physical pain, but it broke at least one of the invisible barriers that he felt has been plaguing their relations.h.i.+p before then .

On the trip home, all Anna could do in his arms, was cry, and ask him two questions 'Why did that happen' and 'do you love me . ' He had no real answer for the first question save and except to say that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin were angry that what they had planned to achieve did not eventuate, and they needed to lash out at people that they believed had prevented them from achieving their plans .

Hou Yi knew the real answer to her question would cause her to run in the other direction, in normal circ.u.mstances, but this was not normal . All he could do was look her in the eyes, kiss her and say "I love you, and I always will . "

The funny thing was, that as soon as Anna heard this, every time, she would stop crying for a few seconds, and look him directly in the eyes and say "I do too . " She then proceeded to kiss him pa.s.sionately for a few seconds before withdrawing, and then dwelling on had occurred .

He could not believe her admission but wondered to himself is it was simply an emotional response to what had occurred or in fact was the real truth . He wanted it to be the real truth, but he knew that he had to take his queues from his wife as to whether it was the case .

When they arrived home, he decided that he did not want to let Anna walk, so as soon as he helped her out of the car, he swept her into his arms, carried her to their lift, and into their suite . Anna, however as soon as she was in his arms, put her arms around his neck and then proceeded to kiss him . By the time they reached the apartment, her kisses were even more pa.s.sionate, if that was possible than their kisses in the car . She proceeded to undo the tie he was wearing and threw it to the ground, as he was climbing the stairs to the second level .

By the time that he had reached their suite, she had somehow managed to undo a couple of b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt . As he put her gently down on their bed, she refused to let him go . She kept pulling him to her, with her kisses becoming more pa.s.sionate and almost desperate for something .

When he eventually was able to create a small s.p.a.ce between them, all he recalls was Anna saying "Do you not want me? I want you, I need you . "

Those words to Hou Yi were a balm to his soul, but he was worried that they were not what Anna really wanted, and if he gave in to her, that it would destroy any hopes he had for the future .

Her pleas, about wanting him however were so compelling . He s.h.i.+fted on the bed, and looked directly into her eyes, and could see that Anna desired him, but there was something clouding this desire .

He lent in and gave her a brief, hard and pa.s.sionate kiss in the lips, before withdrawing . "Sweetheart, you do not know how much I want you, and how I constantly want you . "

Hou Yi, recalled he paused and again leaned in and gave her another pa.s.sionate, short kiss, before continuing "I am so worried however that if I give in to our desire tonight that you will regret the situation in the morning, and it will ruin our relations.h.i.+p for the future . "

"Yi, all I need is you, and I need you now . " With that Anna, simply slid Hou Yi's jacket off his shoulders, and pulled at his s.h.i.+rt sending b.u.t.tons everywhere, before reaching up and giving him another pa.s.sionate kiss .
