Chapter 125 - Period L"u"st (1/2)

While the Emperor trailed kisses down Lei Xing's neck, he successfully loosened her shirt and the strings of her undergarments. Then he turned her over, opened the shirt and easily slipped off her undergarment, leaving her upper body completely exposed. The Emperor paused for a bit to simply admire the sight and ran a hand down the length of her body. He leaned down and kissed her lips but when Lei Xing did not part her lips for him like usual, he softly called, ”Xing er'?”

While Lei Xing did not respond or return his kiss, the Emperor looked at her closed eyes and thought that she was feeling shy. He gently stroked her face as he nibbled on her lips, then kissed both her cheeks to reassure her, before continuing his kissing exploration down her body, slowly and patiently savoring and loving her.

Lei Xing, on the other hand, squeezed her eyes shut and was taking deep breaths to calm herself. She fisted her hands to restrain herself from covering herself or pushing him off as he explored her body with his hands and mouth.

{...It's fine...After this, he'll leave...He'll leave...But -...It's better that way...It's fine...}

The Emperor could feel her trembling but reasoned it was because she was nervous. He slightly smiled and kissed his way back to her face to kiss her lips as he fiddled with the ties of her pants.

Then he froze when he saw the deep scowl on her face with her eyes tightly squeezed closed and beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She looked as if she was pain and under immense pressure. He glanced down and saw her tightly clenched fists, he knit his brows and asked, ”Are you afraid of me?”

Lei Xing was completely taken aback by the sudden question. She opened her eyes and looked up at him questioningly. The Emperor then sighed and stroked her cheek and gently asked, ”Are you?”

Lei Xing knit her brows then looked away and quietly responded, ”No.” She may be wary of him, but she has never really felt afraid of him. She actually thought of him as more of a jokester than anything, who always seemed to be trying to either trap someone in some sort of web just for his entertainment. A jokester who enjoyed toying with people for fun, although she never thought of him as malicious.

”Then why?” The Emperor asked with a frown.

Lei Xing looked at him confused with his question, but she was having trouble looking directly at him right now and so quickly looked away and mumbled, ”Why what?”

The Emperor's frown deepened and he looked at her for a bit and then flatly asked, ”Why does your expression seem like I'm torturing you?”

Lei Xing blinked up at him, completely baffled. She opened her mouth and then closed it, not knowing what to say and lowered her eyes. This seemed to have further aggravated the Emperor as he impatiently ordered, ”Answer me.” While staring her down.

Lei Xing looked up at him and his cold eyes made her involuntarily shudder and she quickly looked away, feeling a sense of fear.

”I said answer me.” The Emperor pressed in a chilling voice.

Lei Xing knit her brows, feeling a bit panicked, she blurted out, ”I...I don't know.” Then quickly moved her hands and covered herself with her shirt, keeping her hands there holding the flaps as she took deep breaths and frowned.
