"Just...give it a try... Try me..."

"No! I can't! Please, just leave me alone!" Madeline Song turned hastily towards Long Yun.

As she did, her heels toppled and she was outbalanced.

Long Yun tried to reach for her hand, but everything was too sudden.

She fell into the river below the bridge. If she was not wearing heels, she would have more body mass on the railing of the bridge, however, her 10cm platform heels made the railing at the level of her thighs.

Long Yun looked over where she fell while clutching the railings.

It was several seconds before she managed to emerge her head from the water.

"Madie!" Long Yun's eyes widened when he saw her flapping her arms wildly. She obviously did not know how to swim.

"I'm...I'm coming, Madie!" He took off his coat and shoes and jumped into the river.

Madeline Song kept flapping her arms desperately even when Long Yun had swam close to her. Her feet were having cramps for trying to keep herself afloat, and her heavy heels were pulling them down.

"Madie! Stop squirming!" He tried to take her in his arms, water splashing onto his face, some into his mouth.

Madeline Song wailed and reached out to hug him when she finally realized that help had arrived. She was so mortified on the idea that she could drown and die.

When they reached the riverbank, Long Yun had a gentle smile on his face as Madeline Song kept her hold on him like a koala to a tree branch. Her arms were wrapped around his neck, almost choking him, while her legs were wrapped around his waist. Her heels were slightly poking his lower back, but he does not mind one bit and enjoyed this slightly awkward position while rubbing her back to console her.

When they had successfully climbed up to the bridge, Madeline tightened her hold onto him when she saw the spot where she fell from.

Good thing that Long Yun had a large built and good training, so walking around while carrying another person with both their clothes wet was possible for him.

He bent down slightly to pick up his shoes and to wrap his dry coat onto her shaking body.

"It's...it's alright...I...I'm here..." his voice was shaking as he cannot help but shudder. It was a cold night, and after emerging from the river, he too was freezing.

It was hard for him to coax her to get in the car. He almost had to drive with her on his lap. Finally, he was able to convince her to sit shotgun and fastened her seatbelt.

He drove to his villa which was situated overlooking the sea. It was a relatively long drive from where they were, so when they arrived, she was already fast asleep, even softly snoring.

He carried her straight into his bedroom and laid her down ever so gently. He took a hot shower and changed into a pair of gray loungewear. Then he took some warm water and a towel to clean her still shivering body which he had wrapped temporarily in several towels.

He gulped when he managed to take off her clothes. It was not the first time for him to see a naked woman in his bed...well, not on this bed. He had never brought anyone in his villa before.

It took all restraints to keep him from devouring her curvy body. He gently wiped her body with the warm towel, avoiding to touch her skin with his hands. He was afraid that slight contact could trigger him to do things that she would forever hate him for. He used another towel to hold up her arms using his other hand. He almost entertained the idea of using kitchen mittens.

After helping her clean up, his eyes were only half open when he put her into his pair of navy blue loungewear.

After tucking her under the new sheets, he went into the room next door to sleep. However, at an hour past midnight, he heard her cries from next door. He dashed to check on her and saw her crying in her sleep.

He did not think about it too much and lied next to her to embrace her. As if by instinct, she held onto him and buried her crying face in his chest.

He furrowed his brows as he thought, 'What kind of experience did this lady go through for her to cry like this in her sleep? Wasn't she a protected young lady of a wealthy household?'

Of course, he would postpone his questioning some other time. After she stopped crying, she fell in a deeper sleep in his arms.

Madeline Song woke up in an unfamiliar bedroom, wearing a man's clothes. She was first in shock, but she remembered some details of the night before and concluded that this was his house. She could smell something good coming from downstairs.

As she went to check on it, she realized that the top of the loungewear she was wearing would pass as a dress for her, yet the pants were adjusted and tied to not fall from her waist. It was such a pity that it was still dragging on the carpet.

When she reached the kitchen, she saw an omelette rice on the table and his back as he poured some coffee on two mugs.

Her heart melted. She knew that he was a gentleman. He changed her clothes but she knew he did not do anything else.

The only person she trusted was her mother, who went and left her with the manipulative father she had. Her fear of drowning stemmed from being pushed into a deep pool by a bunch of bully boys when she was in middle school. She then vowed to herself that she would never let another man take advantage of her weakness. She started dating girls.

But this person...his kindness made her change her mind...and possibly, her heart.

When Long Yun turned and placed the mugs on the table, he saw her staring at him. He shyly held his nape. "Uhm...breakfast?" he offered.

Just then, she bolted towards him, wrapping her legs around his waist, and kissed him hard.

He reached to support her thighs as he returned the kiss. Then he started walking upstairs into the bedroom while carrying her.

The steam from the coffee disappeared without a drop being sipped.
