Cui Xukun groggily opened his eyes and for a moment, he didn't register where he was. Then the events from earlier became clear in his mind and he was suddenly fully awake. He had only planned to come and see Cloe today, who knew things would escalate to this.
But he certainly wasn't complaining. There was nothing to complain about at all. There was no doubt about the fact that he liked Cloe. Last time, after their kiss he only ran away because he didn't want to act on his desires. Especially since he wasn't certain about Cloe's feelings towards him. Now that they both were clear about it all, how could he still not take the next step?
They were both adults, both liked each other, and were even dating seriously now. Thinking about the feeling of her skin under his hand, he grew restless and turned his head to look. However, in the dark room, he couldn't find anything. He tried to lift his hand to see if she was beside him but he realized that he couldn't seem to move his hands.
What?!
He took a deep breath and tried again, but the result was the same. His hands didn't MOVE! No, it was that his hands didn't move, it was right to say that he could feel that his hands were tied above his head. And this realization was absurd yet, that was the reality.
"Cloe!" he called out her name.
Hearing the voice, the door was opened and some light from outside sprinkled inside the room. Cloe switched on the button and suddenly the whole room was engulfed in red light.

Cui Xukun looked at her wrapped in a silk gown as she walked to his side. She came to sit beside him and with her index finger, she traced his jawline.
"It's good that you're awake now. We can finally start playing."
Cui Xukun almost choked when he heard those words. He couldn't be blamed for that, this setup was giving quite some room to his imagination to run wild. And his imagination was definitely running wild now. This red room, his tied hands, and his mistress smiling at him.
Wait?! What mistress?!!!!
He immediately shook his head to get these thoughts out of his head. This situation was messing with his head now. He hesitated before asking, "What are we playing?"
"Oh, we're gonna play a game," she answered carefreely. She definitely noticed the way his eyes were wandering and his expressions were quite amusing as well. But she didn't show it on her face. If anything, this made her want to really play with him a little.
With that thought, she stood up and walked to her dresser. She took out a few candles and placed them on the dresser. She lit them up one by one as she told him, "Trust me, the game is very interesting. You'll love it."
Cui Xukun gulped when he noticed what she was doing. Oh, did he mention that he was not very fond of pain? But who was fond of pain? Only masochists would be! And he wasn't one! His thoughts were in turmoil and so was he. What should he do?
"Can we not play?" he asked in a shaky voice.
Cloe almost laughed out loud when she heard his voice. What the...? Was he scared? Who lets him enter the ruthless corporate world? Wasn't it said that he was quite a well-known corporate lawyer? She even heard how people said he was not to be trifled with. And he was already scared from this much? She didn't even do anything yet.
She held a lit candle in her hand and walked towards him as she said in a soothing voice, "How can we not play? How will it be interesting if we don't play? You should be a little adventurous in life."
"I'm a very boring person," he told her. "I don't like adventures!"
Cloe placed her palm against his bare chest as she pushed his restless body back on the mattress. However, Cui Xukun's attention was on the sensation that her hand on his chest evoke. His attention was all on her other hand that held the candle.
"But I love adventures," she smiled at him innocently.
Cui Xukun looked into her clear eyes and found himself drowning. Forget it! If she wanted to play, they'd just play. What could be the worst possibility? He could do this much for his girlfriend. Yes, he should give in a little to satisfy her. And if she liked to play this way, he'd just play this way!

Cloe's brows raised up inconspicuously along with her lips. This... Why did he look like a sacrificial lamb that came to accept its fate? This thought was bizarre but Cloe couldn't shake it off since he really looked like that right now.
She put the candle on the side table and got on the bed. As she straddled him, her hands naughtily wandered around making his body stiffen before he relaxed but couldn't overlook the excitement her hands were brewing inside his body.
"Then let's start our game of truth!" she announced.
Cui Xukun's eyes snapped open, "Huh? What game?"
"Game of truth," she replied innocently. "The twist in the game is that I'll be the one asking questions and you'll be answering. Are we clear?"
"Huh?" Cui Xukun looked even more confused. "That's all we are playing?" He couldn't help asking in bewilderment.
"Yes," she replied. "What else?"
"Then why are my hands tied up?" he asked.
"Oh, that's because if you didn't answer, there will be punishment."
Cui Xukun's eyes widened as he stared into her eyes. "I'll answer whatever you want," he hurriedly said. He obviously didn't want any punishment.. At least, not the kind he had in mind right now.
