Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance - Chapter 321

Kris was caught off guard. He didn’t say anything and just looked at Lena… trying to see if she was serious or not.

“I–”

“Let’s go to our room.” Lena cut him off and tried to ran toward their room but Kris grabbed her hand.

“Wait, I—”

“Seriously Kris.” Lena cut him off again. She looked him up and down. “Let’s get changed and then we’ll talk. I don’t think I can take you seriously in that suit.”

“Fine.”

The moment they got to their room. Lena ran to her side of the room and locked herself in the bathroom.

Kris just looked at the silly girl and smiled. Why is she the one so shy… she said it herself. He sighed and hoped to take a shower and get changed.

When he got out, Lena was still in the bathroom. Kris sat silently on the bed, staring at the bathroom door.

After a few minutes, Lena came out with only a towel wrapped around her. She stared at Kris, who stayed motionless on the bed. Lena walked over to the closet, grabbed a change of clothes and went back to the bathroom, closing the door shut.

Kris laughed in his heart and continued to stare at the door.

The door opened again and Lena stood at the door entrance, just staring back at Kris. His hair was dry. He was shirtless with only his pajama pants on.

Lena could clearly see his ab lines as he sat on the bed.

“You can’t just say “Let’s get married.” And spend 30 minutes taking a shower and another 10 minutes doing whatever you were doing.” Kris started the conversation.

“I was second-guessing myself.”

“About…” Kris paused. “Us?” He was caught off guard again. Did he do something wrong? Was there something wrong? He knew that Lena and he had their small fall our when Gary was injured but he thought that they were past that.

“No. About which one I should tell you about first.”

Lena slowly walked over to Kris. She stood in front of him, placing both hands on his shoulder.

She slowly moved her hands to his neck… and up to hold his face so that their eyes were directly looking at each other.

“I…” Lena closed her eyes, took a deep breath, “have no second guess about you. About us. So f*ck a romantic proposal, prince charming on a white horse and magical carriage… Let’s just get married, Kris.”

Kris put his hand on her small waist and pulled her closer to him.

“No one-knee on the floor? No rings and flowers? No fireworks and kiss at the top of the Ferris-wheel?” Kris asked.

“No.” Lena sternly replied. “No….”

She bent down low and kiss him. Kris tightened his grip on her waist and kissed her back. He could feel her wet hair touching his bare skin. She smelled so fresh… and ripe.

“I am scared….” Lena touched his face. “After all that we’ve been through. After…. after that dream, Gary’s injury, bombs, guns…. we solve one thing but another one will be thrown at us.”

“Your a high profiled man. And I am a trouble maker…” Lena let out a soft chuckle. “If we keep waiting for a good time, we won’t get married until your 50. And by then… I want to have a long life with you. Give you lots and lots of kids and travel the world with you. Slay scary dragons and kill annoying pests. So yeah… I dreamed of a handsome man going down on one knee, pulling out a ring, flowers, and fireworks out of thin air…. but you’re not a dream, Kris… you’re real. And I–” Lena paused.

“I want to be your wife, your only Mrs. Li.” Lena softly spoke. “I want to be in your lawfully wedded wife with legal rights. If something bad happens, I want to be able to be with you. I want to be your emergency contact, be in your will, be… just be yours. Entirely yours.”

“If…” Lena paused as her eyes got teary.

“Why are you crying… Shh…” Kris carefully pulled her to sit on his lap and wiped her tear.

“If… something bad happens to you or me… I…” Lena stopped again as she got more emotional.

“Nothing bad is going to happen.” Kris hugged her.

“Stop it. Let me finish.” Lena sniffed and wiped her own tears. “If… If something bad happens to you or me, I would regret that I made you waited. I would regret that I.. didn’t get to marry you.”

Lena chuckled as she finally stopped getting so emotional. “I know that marriage is not a big deal to you, but–”

This time Kris stopped her. He put a finger on her lips. “Who said it’s not a big deal? Sure, it was a stupid concept before… but everything is a big deal now since I have met you. With you… I can see myself being a boyfriend, a husband… a father, a grandfather… a dog.”

Kris smiled and removed his finger on her lips. He gave her another passionate kiss before continuing.

“Let’s get married, Lena.”

Lena did not reply at first. She just stared into the handsome man in front of her. Yes.. she was sure. This is what she wanted… this is the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

“Are… are you sure?” Lena asked. “I mean, well I am ready, but I am not going to force you.”

“Are you kidding me?” Kris laughed. “I am absolutely sure.”

Lena smiled… She changed her sitting position so she was comfortable straddled on Kris. Her hands were around his neck.

“Kris Li… Will you marry me?”

Kris scoffed. “Yes. Yes, I will marry you, Lena Shen.”

Kris brought her in close and they kissed again. A very long and sweet kiss until their breaths were out and their hearts were mingled in sync.

“When we get back home, I will go talk to your parents,” Kris replied. “We can register our marriage first and have a ceremony later.”

“Mhm.” Lena nodded. She kissed his lips and cheeks. “You don’t think we are rushing it.. right?”

“What do you mean…? I think our family wanted us wedded on the first day.” Kris laughed. “If I knew that Collin’s wedding would make you want to marry me… I would have pushed the wedding earlier.”

“I… I still want a big wedding though.” Lena assured. “I still want everyone to know that you are mine. And there is not a single space for a third person.”

“…” Kris smiled. He held to Lena’s body and turned them 180, so Lena’s back was on the bed and him on top of her, between her legs. “Yes, wifey.” He replied and flung Lena’s pajama top away.

“What are you doing..?!” Lena looked at the hungry beast on top of her.

Kris’s body hovered over hers, his broad and strong seductive body openly exposed to her. He started to take off his pants.

“If I remember correctly, my future wife said that she wanted a lot of pre-marital s*x.” He smirked. “We don’t have a lot of time for that if we are going to get married… we should do that every day.”

“Ev…everyday…?”

“Is that not enough…? How about every morning and night?”

Kris took off his pants and removed Lena’s with one swing. He kissed her stomach and then started licking up her body.

“My lovely wife…” He whispered to her ears and softly bit it.

“We… I… I still.. Ah” Lena spoke as Kris continued to tease her. “I still have something else to talk about.”

“We can talk about it now..” Kris multitasked, listening to Lena and making her feel good.

“…” Lena looked at the devilishly good looking man… She’s not going to tell him about it now. If she did… she might be punished and not it make it out alive tomorrow for their flight back home.

Lena spread her legs, giving him more room. She wrapped her hands around his neck.

“In the morning.” She replied.

Kris stopped kissing her chest and looked at her approving smile. He put a hand to her chin and lifted it up.

“What do you want… anything for the lady.”

“The entire menu.”
