Chapter 5 - Will you tell me about your nightmares...?

The moment she went into the room, the mask was immediately removed and left on the dining table. Kai Xin took a deep breath and smiled when she realized that the room smell like fresh daisies, having no doubt that it was an order by him.

She then removed her clothes and neatly placed them on the dresser in the room before going into the obnoxiously large bathroom and filling up the bath. In the bathroom, not only was there a bathtub that fits three people at the same time, there was a separate shower area with multiple showerheads with adjustable pressure, and just next to the bathtub was a wall-to-wall mirror while on the wall, there was a giant flat screen TV.

While waiting for the tub to be filled up, she docked her iPod on the speaker that was in the bathroom. After scrolling through her Spotify for two minutes, she gave up and texted DX,

( Bath. Music. Suggestions? )

Within seconds, she received a reply – ( AJR )

Kai Xin obediently set AJR on. Then she grabbed a book from the shelf and slowly sat down in the hot bath. The book of the day is Freakonomics. Previously, DX made fun of her because she knew nothing about economics and she wanted to show him that she can be as smart as him too. She was so focused on reading that she spent almost an hour in the bath when she received a message from DX.

( Don't stay in the bath for too long. )

Kai Xin frowned. How did he know? Another message came in shortly.

( Don't worry. No hidden cameras. I'm just smart. Also, I got the notification from the bathtub.)

Kai Xin had forgotten that the entire suite was pimped and everything can be remotely controlled. She stuck her tongue out at the phone before quickly getting out of the bath. She had already shaved and primped herself up for tonight, so all she had to do now was to lotion up. While she lathered herself up with one hand, she texted DX with the other.

( You are weird. See ya soon. )

A minute later, he sent,

( Miss u )

She hesitated for a long while before replying him.

….

( Miss u 2 )

DX felt his heart skipped a beat when he saw that. He had not expected a reply. Usually, she would just send him the middle finger emoji whenever he tried to show any emotions other than lust. He was surprised that his cold little Kara actually told him that she missed him.

Jake looked at his father's stupidly wide grinning face. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," DX said happily as he kept his phone away and continued playing FIFA with his boys. Occasionally, he would look at the clock and the moment the short hand strikes 10 pm, he turned off the game console and tried to put them to bed. It took another hour of him negotiating with them before they tire out and agreed to stay in bed obediently.

"Are you going to be here when we wake up?" Jack asked worriedly.

DX looked at his sons' innocent faces. He gave them each a kiss on the forehead, "I'll be back in time for breakfast. I promise."

Jack nodded while Lyle remained skeptical. After the boys fell asleep, he quietly got out of the room. He quickly notifies the Old Mo, the Head Butler, of his absence for tonight before taking a shower to freshen up. With his overnight bag, he drove straight to Hotel W in his favorite Audi R8 in matte black.

The car held great memory for him as it was in the same car four years ago that Kai Xin agreed to be his contractual lover. He parked his car at his designated parking that was located right next to the private lift to the Presidential Floor.

He saw Head Manager Han standing outside the lift and nodded curtly at him.

"President Du." Manager Han bowed and in a concise manner, he explained clearly what had happened earlier.

"I expect you to handle the matter cleanly. K is my woman and I expect everyone to show the same respect to her. From now on, screen the customers thoroughly. Do not let people like him to dirty the penthouse floor." He then went into the lift without waiting for a reply.

By the time he arrived at the hotel suite, Kai Xin was already asleep. He can hear her soft light snoring from the moment he entered the room. Smiling to himself, he thought about how far they came. Back when they first met, Kai Xin refused to sleep through the night even though they had been "wrestling" for hours. Now, she actually let her guard down and fell into such a deep sleep.

The music from the iPod playing in the background caught his attention. Recalling it to be "Fragile" from Sungha Jung's album "Irony", he made a mental note to tell Han Ye to get an autographed guitar for his little lover for their 4th Anniversary. He went and switched off the music.

As he took off his clothes, the soft light from the dimmed bedside lamp shone on his perfectly sculpted body. The glint in his eyes reflected his desire to take over the girl sleeping on the bed, blissfully oblivious to the arousal she had caused him. Her bare shoulders alerted him of her lack of clothing material underneath the cover.

All the while, his eyes had never left the silhouette bundled up on the bed. If anyone saw him, they would have gotten the shock of their life at the current sight of the cold and highly principled President Du.

He slowly slipped in under the cover, taking care not to wake her up. He then observed the steady rise and fall of her chest and her innocent face for a long while before attempting to steal a light kiss. However, before he can do so, he was violently pushed down onto the bed and pinned under by his favorite lover.
