523 Please (2/2)

Li Xueyue warily peered over his shoulder, where her hand was. There was nothing on her fingers. She feared she had unintentionally smeared blood on Yu Zhen's face. She didn't want to dirty his features.

”Do you want to see what I've done?”

Li Xueyue's throat dried. Did she want to stomach that sight? Warily, she leaned her head back onto his shoulders.

”L-let me think about it,” she responded.

Yu Zhen nodded. Fair enough. He'd let her decide when she would be ready.

His attention drifted back to their position. She was so tiny in his arms. He had always known his figure was twice her size. He enjoyed carrying her. She always had the best reactions, whether it was hugging him, or nuzzling her face upon his shoulders.

”Where are we going?” Li Xueyue finally asked softly. She was getting sleepier by the minute. It felt so comfortable in his arms. She could do nothing but close her eyes.

”You better not fall asleep on me,” Yu Zhen muttered. He had thoroughly enjoyed their passionate night in the bathhouse. He wanted it again.

”I'm not…” she yawned.

”Sure, you're not,” he wryly said.

Yu Zhen picked up his pace. By now, the guards were no longer surprised to see them out and about in the dark of the night.

”If you fall asleep, I won't be so kind to you later,” he softly said.

Li Xueyue's face was stained red. She hid her face in the crook of his neck. Memories of their wet bodies molded together flashed in her head. The water sloshed, as their bodies clapped against each other. Heightening their senses were her quickened breathing and his occasional grunts.

It was hard enough as it was to escape him in bed, but the bathing pool made it even more difficult. She'd reach for the stones lining the pool, hoping for a distraction. But he'd pin her hands down and grab her thighs, widening his access to her.

”P-please be kind,” she finally squeaked out.

Yu Zhen let out a throaty laugh. His chest rumbled and vibrated. She shivered in response and hugged him tightly.

”We'll see about that.”

Li Xueyue hid her face on his shoulders. She liked it rough but it was too promiscuous of a thought to be voiced out. If she had told him that, it would give him the satisfaction.

”P-please?” she added on, just as they reached the bathhouse.

With one hand, he opened the door and carried her inside.

Li Xueyue's heart raced at the humidity inside the bathhouse. It was warm and wet. Her body tingled as her mind recalled what they did in the bathhouse recently, especially when a familiar pool came to sight.

”Hmmm…” Yu Zhen settled her onto the ground. He gingerly gripped her chin with his thumb and forefinger. Upon seeing her reddened lips, and large eyes, he instantly made a decision.

Yu Zhen bent his head and kissed her lips.

”I think not.” His breath fanned her lips, still moist from his kiss.

Li Xueyue's eyes widened. Before she could say anything, he unhooked the belt of her robes, then effortlessly undressed her. She yelped, as the cold hit her skin. She clung onto him for warmth, not believing he could be so mean to her.

Yu Zhen's lips curled into a satisfied smirk. It was the exact reaction he wanted. ”You're clinging onto me so desperately, Sunshine.” His hands slid down her back, tracing the curve of her arched spine.

”When you react like this, I can only return the favor.” With that said, he lifted her and brought her towards the pool.
