"Alexandra," Yang Guo called, and I couldn't help but shiver at the way he so deliciously said my name. He didn't just say my name, he breathed it, caressed it, made me come alive with just the sound of his velvety voice, so thick and husky with... lust? Did he want me as much as I wanted him? It couldn't be, right? Why else would he ditch me in the first place?

"How could you be so ungentlemanly as to refuse to meet me? To-To tell me that you had already met me??" I asked indignantly, then stopped as I tried to figure out my own words, my own thoughts. Did I want him to apologize? To grovel? I shuddered at the thought. Groveling men are not very appealing. Groveling men are beep!

Yang Guo laughed at my confused expression. "I'm so extremely sorry. Give me a chance to rectify my mistake?"

My breath stopped as he stepped closer, close enough that I could feel his breath fanning across my face. My core heated at our close proximity and yet I willed myself to stand my ground, wanting to see what he would do.

"Would you do me the honor of going on a date with me, Miss Alexandra?" He asked softly. I swayed a little, drunk at the teasing glint in his eyes. There was a glimmer of something else there too. "I'd like to tell you about the most beautiful girl on earth whom I met and don't intend to let go. Ever."

And there it was. The magic words that made my heart go pitter-patter as it soared high into the clouds, never to come down. With my face aflame, I gave him a tiny nod of my head and watched as a blinding smile danced across his angelic face. My Angel. "Yes," I whispered shyly.

Suddenly, I was engulfed in his arms. "Alexandraaaaaaa..." He drawled in that rumbly voice of his, the "r" rolling off his tongue like satin on skin. It made me giggle like a little schoolgirl. It also made me hot as hell. Could I come from just the sound of his voice? Oh my, but he was sex on wheels that I would love to ride on. Beep! Heavens! Where did that thought come from? Oh my poor innocent mind. Surely it was all May's fault for corrupting me like this! And maybe Jaime.

"Y-Yes?" I stuttered, aroused at the image that came to mind. Riding. Beep!

Yang Guo grinned down at me, his eyes smoldering as he studied my face. "Hmm," he began curiously, "I'm beginning to like this librarian look on you. It's quite sexy."

His tongue darted out a tad and my eyes automatically drew to that sinful piece of meat. Holy beep! What am I thinking? Why am I thinking of biting him? Of sucking on that-Beep! My eyes bulged and I gaped up at him, my shaking fingers pushing up my glasses. "W-What?" I stammered while trying furiously to bleach my dirty, perverted thoughts.

As if knowing what I was thinking, he laughed heartily, the sound vibrated through my body. I could feel something else nudging at me from down below and I stiffened. Oh Beep! What do I do now? Beep! Beep! Beep! What would my friend Jae do? Oh Sage! If only I had you here to knock some sense into me. An-And Ray to save me because my heart is about to explode! Nina, Nina, Nina! Where are you, my sound of reason?

"Alexandra?"

"Ha?" Did my voice squeak?

"So," Yang Guo whispered seductively in my ear.

I held my breath as he tenderly stroked the side of my face, then hooked a few loose strands of hair behind my ear. While he was busy looking at my hair, I admired the beauty mark at the corner of his eye. So intent on the cinnabar mole, I didn't have time to react to his next move.

"Can I undo your... bun?" Though he asked the question, he didn't wait for an answer and pulled the pen I used to hold up my hair. "Beautiful," he murmured as my hair cascaded down my back to tangle in his fingers.

"Yang- Yang Guo!" I yelped, my face, redder than a baboon's butt!

I tried to move away, to put some distance between us, but he hauled my body flushed against his. His arousal... Oh wow, his arousal felt hot and hard against my body. I didn't know if I was squirming to get away or if I wanted to rub myself like a cat against his hard body. P-Pu-cat! Holy beep! Was I really thinking of that word?

"Alexandra," he drawled huskily, his warm breath tickling my ear, "let's skip the dating and go right to being my girlfriend, hm?"

"Oh Oh-K-Kay," I breathed. Before I could utter another word, his lips found mine. Warm and soft, they spoke to my body, seducing it, making it sing. When I felt the light touch of his tongue against my mouth, I gasped in surprise.

Taking advantage of my astonishment, he delved his tongue inside my mouth, licking and toying with my tongue until I moaned. Heat bloomed within me and I gripped the lapels of his jacket, holding on for dear life. The kiss seemed to go on forever, yet I knew it was only just a few minutes that ticked by. When he finally drew back, we both sucked in badly needed air.

"Oh Alexandra," Yang Guo panted breathlessly, "I want you." He rested his head on my forehead and briefly closed his eyes, his breathing labored. When he spoke next, his gaze was sinful and intense. "I want you naked and under me. I want to be buried so deep inside you, to become one with you. I want to come inside you, feel you coming around my cock-"

I jerked at his coarse language; his brutally honest personality was something I was still trying to get used to. Plus, I wasn't used to hearing words like that, though I couldn't help but be turned on by it. The image he presented made me squirm and I realized I was rubbing myself against his beep!

Laughter filled my ears then a grunt. "Alexandra, babe, if you keep that up, I'm going to come all over myself and that would be really bad for my ego."

"Oh!" I gasped and moved back, though with his arms around me, I wasn't able to go far. "S-Sorry!"

"I really do want you, but I'll wait until you're ready."

My eyes shot to his, saw the look of sincerity in them and I knew he meant it. Could my heart get any bigger? Smiling shyly, I nodded my head. "Thank you."

With an exaggerated sigh, Yang Guo stepped back and said, "Well, my fair lady, how about that date I owe you?"

Giggling like a schoolgirl-I was actually giggling like some naïve, okay, I was that innocent and naïve girl, but this was Yang Guo! Giving myself a mental shake, I gave him a timid smile and replied, "Okay."

Yang Guo hooked my arm around his. "Where do you want to go?"

Six Months Later

I could hardly believe how fast time flies. Already six months have passed since Yang Guo and I became a couple. He was indeed the best boyfriend I have ever had... Well, I chuckled wryly. He was the only boyfriend I have ever had, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I think I have been more spoiled these past months than in my entire life!

"Babe! Where are you?"

"Here!" I called out with a smile in my voice. We had just moved in together and to say I was nervous was completely inaccurate. I was beeping scared. How would he handle all my quirks? And my books? I was still trying to figure out a way to fit all my boxes of books in our new apartment.

"Hey," Yang Guo said softly as he wrapped his arms around my waist and drew me flushed against his hard body. I wanted to melt into a liquid puddle beside him. That's how much he affected my libido. "I have someone coming over in thirty minutes. Will you be fine for a few hours by yourself?"

"Oh? Who's coming?" I asked absently, however, my mind was definitely not on the conversation but on the erection that was poking butt. We may not have had sex yet, but that didn't mean we didn't play around. And ohhhhh, he was a very wicked man with a very wicked tongue. I could feel the wetness pooling between my legs.

"Mmm, we might have time for-" His phone rang and he answered abruptly, "Black Iron Securities." He listened intently for a few minutes before saying, "Okay, let me get Black Eagles on it. If necessary, I'll send in Black Armors for support. Keep me posted." Without so much of a goodbye, Yang Guo hung up and turned to look apologetically at me. "Sorry, babe, but I need to do some work."

Shaking my head, I smiled up at him. "It's okay. Go, work," I shooed him away but not before he stole a kiss from me. By the time he left me, my legs were like noodles and I had to hang onto the kitchen counter for support. "That man is dangerous," I muttered hotly. But secretly, I loved it. Loved everything about him.

Who knew that the apparently harmless Yang Guo was CEO of his own security outfit, Black Iron Securities. An orphan with brains enough to bag scholarships all the way to the University, Yang Guo not only defied the odds, but he also overcame his limitations to become one of the powerhouses in the securities industry.

Only him, I thought. Shaking my head, I went to the kitchen to prep for dinner.

...

Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, my heart skipped a beat at the man standing in front of me, clad in nothing but black attire. He had a cold and dangerous appearance around him that made me shiver, partly from fear and partly because he looked so ethereal with that streak of white hair caressing the side of his face. His glacial eyes looked intently at me and I took a step backwards.

"Y-Yes?" I stammered, heart in my throat.

"Is Yang Guo home?" His voice was sharp enough to cut and I swallowed the fear that whooshed to my throat.

"Yan Wushi! Quit scaring my girlfriend," Yang Guo came up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me close. He leaned down and whispered, "Don't worry about him, babe. He just looks mean but really, he is a softy on the inside. Like a marshmallow." To his friend, he said, "Play nice."

Yan Wushi stuck out a hand and said tersely, "Hi."

Likewise, I did the same. "Hi. Nice to meet you."

After the awkward greeting, Yang Guo and Yan Wushi, whom I found was Yang Guo's second in command, ensconced themselves in my boyfriend's office to discuss work. I may have checked out my boyfriend's cute butt. My face heated with desire. Beep!

Clearing my beeping thoughts, I went to check on dinner. Fifteen minutes later, a chime on my iPad alerted me to an incoming call. Without bothering to look, I answered with a swipe of my finger, "Yes?"

Suddenly a jumble of voices filtered through the air and I squealed as familiar faces filled the screen. I had completely forgotten about my monthly video calls with my friends, my Shameless Squad. I forgot who named our friends' group, but I love it! It was so "us."

We met over two years ago through our mutual love for the novel Tian Guan Ci Fu and became great friends. Our tiny group spans the entire globe, from Canada to India, Malaysia to U.S. , and now China. I have the internet to thank for that.

Besides May, there was Jae, the aspiring writer, and Sage, the school teacher. Then there was Rayna, but we never really called her that. It was always DD. Dick Doc, lol. I still laugh every time I hear the name. All thanks to May! And then there was my very quiet friend Nina, the product manager. Wait- note to self : Ask about her new job. I love my Shameless Squad!

Propping the iPad against the coffee maker, I waved like a maniac at my friends. "Hey! How are you guys?"

A beeping noise sounded just as a litany of "Hi Alex"s spewed from the speakers and I quickly held up a finger before turning my attention to the beeping appliance.

"Go ahead and talk while I get this bird out of the oven, ladies!" I called over my shoulder as I donned kitchen mitts and removed the baked chicken.

"Sooooo, Alex, where is that hot hunk of yours? When can we meet him?" Sage asked impishly. "Maybe I'll leave my Lan Zhan and go for your man instead. DD would like that, wouldn't you DD?"

"Oh beeping no! He's all mine!" I protested playfully.

"Alex! Please let Sage have your Yang Guo! I want my Lan Zhan all to myself." Of course, this could only come from Ray.

"Nina!" Jae said in a staged whisper. "Pass the pop porn." I could see Nina pretending to pass something to Jae, and I shook my head. Jae and those pop porn-ughh, popcorn! That slip of the tongue months ago was so embarrassing. But trust my perverted girls to catch it. Now they never let me forget it !

"Oh my gosh! You guys are really something," I chuckled with amusement, then added, "No. You can't have my Yang Guo."

"How about we swap boyfriends for the day? You know, test drive them-"

"May!!!" I couldn't help but laugh at my friend. The image of someone sitting atop my Yang Guo and riding him made me quickly blurt, "No! Next thing I know, you'll have Yang Guo tied to a bed with leather cuffs and a spreader bar."

The girls laughed. We all knew May so well. A thought suddenly occurred to me and I grinned mischievously. "Actually, that's not a bad idea, May", I drawled, making her narrow her eyes at me. I gave her a devilish grin. "I wonder how Xiao Zhan would tas--"

A loud growling drowned out my next word, making us all dissolve in laughter. "Okay okay. Point taken. You can keep your man. Just don't ever eye mine." May grumbled, half sullen, half amused. I snorted.

"No to the original suggestion then," I repeated for good measure, grinning. "Besides, he is in his office with a friend. Well, employee-friend. I think he's both."

"Oooh, who's the friend, Alex," Ray asked with curiosity in her voice.

Shrugging, I replied, "His name is Yan Wushi. Just met him for the first time today so I don't know anything about him."

"Is he cute?" Jae asked, her voice full of mischievousness. I wonder what she was thinking. I didn't have to wait long. "So," she said with exaggeration, "is this the beginning of a wild threesome?"

"No!" I practically shouted and scrambled to lower down the volume.

Laughter ensued. When they finally settled down, May piped in, "I don't know who is top or bottom, but I definitely know who is in the middle of this sandwich."

"May!"

Once again, laughter erupted from my speakers.

"Ahem," a deep voice interrupted my friends' laughing session and I whirled around completely embarrassed. Not only was my boyfriend standing there, a curious gleam in his eyes, but his friend was also there, leaning against the wall. Did his lips twitch?!

"Hi Yang Guo!" May greeted him enthusiastically. "Hi Yang Guo's friend, soon-to-be-sandwich."

I slammed down the laptop screen, imagining a squeak. Then silence echoed. I could practically feel two scorching laser beams on my flaming face as I stood there.

"Well, I'd better leave before the kitchen explodes." Yan Wushi chortled. "Nice to meet you Miss Alexandra." I nodded at him, unable to utter anything, trying to cope with the embarrassing situation my naughty Quintet had left me in.

"Would you like to join us for dinner before you go?" I managed as I shook his hand.

"No thank you." He grinned, shooting a look at the green Hulk standing beside him. "I have--- er, a sandwich in my car."

I dropped my burning face in my hands as yelps were chased by kicks all the way to the door. Guess I'll be the dessert all through the week. I groaned into my hands, not wanting to lift my red-tinged face. Thanks girls.

Muffled sounds filtered into the air a few seconds later and I realized my friends were still on the call.

Beep!

Quickly flipping the ipad so I could see my grinning friends, I warned them through beady eyes, "Not one word!"

Of course, they didn't say anything. They didn't have to. They were snickering, which was just as worse!

"Oooh, is this the beginnings of an orgy! I should have brought my toys." A voice echoed from the speakers. Judging by the husky sound and the words spoken, it could only be May.

"Whoa!" Sage interrupted excitedly, her eyes roaming the spacious living room and taking in the many bookcases that were stuffed to the rim with books. And of course, my YiZhan* paraphernalia. Seeing items of our addiction on display, Ishi said, "Alexandra! Quick, show me your YiZhan shrine! Is that what I think it is?"

Her smile was infectious. Picking up the ipad, I walked over to the bookcase, flipping the camera so she could see.

"I knew it! Oh, Alexandra! You even have Uncle Beep with you!" She chortled with amusement and asked me to pick up the Lan Qiren* bobblehead.

"Uncle Beep kinda grows on you," I replied sheepishly as I flipped the camera back so they could see my delighted face.

"Just admit it, Alexandra. You enjoy calling him Uncle Beep! 'Uncle Beep this, 'Uncle Beep' that! All day long!" The sardonic comment that came from Jae made me snort.

"Oh? And who might this 'Uncle Beep' be?" A gravelly voice spoke suddenly from behind me, and I yelped in surprise.

"Oooh, someone is jelly," May remarked. "Uncle Beep is quite handsome, you know," she smirked then gave a two-finger wave, "Hi! I'm May."

Leaning over, Yang Guo rested his chin on my shoulder. His hot breath sending shivers down my body and straight to my core. How could I be so turned on in such a public setting! This is all May's and Jae's fault! Sandwich and orgies! Ughhhh!

"Yeah, I know who you are, May," Yang Guo said drily, then looked at the rest of my friends. "Introduce me?"

"That is Nina and Sage. These two are from India. That over there is DD... er, I mean Rayna."

"Nice to meet you all..." Yang Guo replied easily. "So, who is Uncle Beep that you're madly in love with?"

"Um, he is a fictional character," I mumbled inaudibly.

"Is he now?" I could hear Yang Guo's voice dripping with jealousy. "Well, I'll just have to change that mind of yours." And sure enough, he dragged me into the bedroom and proceeded to make me forget everything else but him.

An hour later, I shot up in bed, shocked and horrified. I never said bye to my friends. Nor did I hang up the call! Panic made me get up and dash to make a grab at my laptop that still lay on the table near my shrine. One look at the screen made me sag in relief. The video call had ended thank the lord. Instead, I could see the notification of a message left by my Squad blink at the corner of the screen. I let out a low groan. This won't be anything good. I knew them well. Dreading the message. I clicked on the icon.

*Hey Alex, We saw Uncle Beep nodding happily while you were being scribenapped. *KISS*

Holy Effing Beep!

*THE END*
