Standing Right Next To You - Chapter 398

{Warning: Mildly steamy stuff ahead!}

Lina’s eyes widened but she could not stop her body from falling forward.

However, she did not have to worry for long as her momentum came to a halt when the arms encircling her waist gripped her tighter.

Reuben smiled at the woman in his arms even when he knew that she could not see him.

Without waiting any longer, he leaned in after securing her in place and did what he had been thinking about all day.

Lina’s flustered state of mind turned blank when she felt his lips over hers.

Unlike previous instances, he did not give her time to adjust to this abrupt kiss.

Instead, he led her into a fiery and passionate kiss right from the beginning.

The Kitten in his arms forgot all about her embarrassment about practically being naked under her silk robe and began kissing him back while trying hard to maintain the passion he was leading her into.

Reuben snaked one arm around her neck while the other remained in its place across her waist.

Lina blushed harder when she felt his fingers in her hair as he gripped them, though without being too rough with her.

By now, she was halfway onto his lap as they further got entangled with each other.

Reuben felt his Kitten grab his shirt as she tried to steady her body the best she could but it only ended with her placing all of her body’s weight on him.

Not that he minded it, in fact, he was pleased with the soft body that was pressed against his chest.

Their kiss continued though Lina was feeling light-headed due to the intense exercise they were partaking in.

All she could think about was how much she liked being in such close distance with him while all Reuben could wrap around his brain was the feeling of satisfaction and security he felt with his Kitten in his arms.

He had been thinking of what the future held in store for them during the day which had caused him to feel worried if they would face objection from her family.

However, now all he could feel was that no matter what happened in the future, he was willing to work hard to keep this lovely woman in his arms and his life at all costs.

Lina had no idea about the depth of his feelings for her which only increased each day.

Here, all she could think of was… Well, she couldn’t really think about anything as her brain had already turned to mush thanks to his kiss.

The intense kiss had wiped her brain clean of any thoughts and right now all she was capable of, was reciprocating his kiss to the best of her abilities.

Reuben nibbled on her lower lip as he skillfully played with her tongue, twirling his around hers and then sucking hard on it.

His actions made it seem as though he had years of experience making girls weak in their knees just with a simple kiss yet the truth was that he had only ever kissed one girl.

Lina Yang, the only girl he had kissed to date was breathing hard on account of his expert movements.

Her hands wrapped around his neck as she tilted her head and began sucking his tongue, imitating his earlier moves.

A pained groan escaped Reuben’s lips after realizing what she had just done.

Lina was beginning to take control of their kiss but Reuben did not let her as he pulled his tongue away, breaking their kiss with it.

The soft whimper of dissatisfaction at being denied the chance of taking the lead resulted in him letting out a throaty chuckle, sending shivers down his Kitten’s spine.

There was darkness all around which made their other senses heighten as a result of not having their sense of sight.

Each touch of his was magnified due to this small difference in their usual kisses.

Reuben’s chuckle ended when his lips met hers once again.

However, before she could part her lips to accept his kiss he moved away from those soft lips that awaited his touch.

Lina bit her lip, aggrieved at this game that he was enjoying not letting her dive into their passionate kiss once again.

Though he could make out what she wished for, Reuben had other plans and so he ignored her whimpers this time as well.

Just when Lina was about to complain about his misleading actions, she could not do so as another sound escaped her lips.

“Hmm…” She hummed in pleasure when she felt his lips land on her neck.

Without giving her time to understand what was about to happen, he parted his lips and grazed his teeth over her delicate skin before biting down.

This time it was a pained groan which echoed in the room but it soon turned into a moan when she felt him sucking the area over her bite.

If the lights were turned on then they could have noticed a dark bite mark along with the hickey which had formed over it.

But as the lights were out, this would be a surprise for tomorrow morning.

Reuben did not stop there as he moved lower, to her collarbone and then left his mark there as well.

Lina’s fingers were in his hair and he did not mind it even when she gripped his hair while he sucked her collarbone.

His arms had already slid to his waist but they slowly inched higher which she had failed to notice due to the pleasure she was feeling thanks to his biting and sucking.

Her head raised to give him more space to work which he appreciated wholeheartedly.

In reward to her silent movements, he moved to the other side of his neck and started leaving open-mouthed wet kisses which elicited frequent moans and whimpers from her.

Reuben’s hands finally reached their destination when they touched the very base of her beautiful and ample breasts.

This time, a new sound escaped Lina’s lips.

A gasp of surprise at his actions was heard in the silent room which made the man raise his head.

The lips which were on her neck made their way to her ear.

“Say the word and I will stop. Do you want me to stop, Kitten?” He whispered his inquiry in a low voice as his breath fanned her ear.

Lina bit her lip and shuddered when she was assaulted with pleasure on both sides.

Reuben’s lips were now on her ear as he nibbled and sucked the top of her earlobe while his hands were over her breasts as he cupped them.

He took her silence as the answer to his question and sucked her ear harder and pressed his palm against the hard points he felt on her breasts.

Just earlier, Lina was worried that she had taken him by surprise after what she had done yesterday but now it appeared that it was her turn to be surprised.

Shocked as she was at the unexpected turn of events, she did not wish to put an end to it.

The tiny bit of hesitation and fear that she had last night when she had asked him to hold her had now faded away due to their passionate kiss and his other efforts.

This was exactly what Reuben was trying to do. He wanted to expel the fear of his touch from her heart which he now had succeeded.

Lina did not flinch or freeze when she felt his palms over her breasts.

After her initial surprise had faded, she bit her lips and waited to see what he had in store for her.

As though he had grasped what she was waiting for, Reuben’s head dipped once again as he reached for her neck.

Kissing his way down to her collarbone, he went lower and stopped when he reached the top of her supple breasts.

“Soft.” He muttered and placed a chaste kiss over the smooth skin which peeked out from her loose robes.

Lina hummed softly and blushed when she felt the robe opening a little.

She could feel the cause of this change was his big and warm hands but did nothing to try and stop him.

Reuben’s hands maneuvered in such a way that while continuing to place kisses over the top of her chest, the rest of her concealed breasts had popped out of the robe completely.

“Ahnn!” Lina moaned out loud when she felt his hands touching her bare skin as he cupped them entirely.
