Hidden Conflictions

Lei Xing was obviously not convinced by the Emperor's reassurances. She cleared her throat and then asked, "Has it -... Has it ever spoken to you when we were -" She paused and bit her lip as she fished for the appropriate listener-friendly terminology.

"Together?" The Emperor suggested and Lei Xing eagerly nodded. The Emperor sighed and then responded, "No."

Although there was that one incident it interrupted them kissing, but he thought it was best to keep that to himself. 

Lei Xing knit her brows and hesitantly asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." The Emperor confidently responded, "Now, forget that...please." He said as he pulled her body close and then kissed her before she could say anymore.

Lei Xing was obviously still hesitant, but she eventually set aside her reservations and the two rolled around for a while before the Emperor finally got up.
