56 Pleasure (18+)
It was clear that Xiu Zhicheng was checking how smooth his palms were, this made Si Ning's hands starting to get sweaty as Xiu Zhicheng turned his hand over, massaging his fingers gently. He suddenly turned his gaze to Si Ning, making Si Ning pulled back a little because he wasn't expecting him to turn suddenly to him.
Si Ning could see his gaze darken and he concluded Xiu Zhicheng was probably annoyed at how his hands were so smooth which was the opposite of how a General's hands should be, Si Ning started panicking, his eyes shifting everywhere only for Xiu Zhicheng to pulled him closer forcing Si Ning to look at him straight in the eyes and Si Ning found himself getting lost in the dark Phoenix eyes that seemed like it was looking into his soul, sucking him in that he unconsciously leaned closer only for Xiu Zhicheng to close the tiny distance between them till their lips met.
A warning alarm sounded immediately in Si Ning's head and he wanted to pull back only for Xiu Zhicheng to hold the back of his head leaving no room for escape and Si Ning found himself melting when Xiu Zhicheng hand slipped behind him to hold him firmly.
At first, the kiss was gentle and soft but became heated and overbearing. When Si Ning opened his mouth to breathe Xiu Zhicheng used the opportunity to drove his tongue inside, wrecking havoc in his mouth but Si Ning doesn't want to lose that he also responded fiercely as he clutched onto Xiu Zhicheng's cloth as his means of not to go weak in his laps as he tried to dominate over the kiss not wanting to lose to an ancient man.
They both fought for dominance and Si Ning was hoping that Xiu Zhicheng would become weak making his hands loosen in the process but it was the opposite that happened because Si Ning was the one that went weak that he had to latch onto Xiu Zhicheng like his life depended on it and he knew he had lost the battle when his body went limp and he shamelessly faintly moaned when Xiu Zhicheng lightly bit his lips and licked it.
Si Ning's face heated surprised by the foreign sound that came out of his mouth and he wanted to pull away but his hands had gone soft and powerless.
Xiu Zhicheng used that moment to do as he pleased, kissing him so much till Si Ning became muddleheaded as he panted in his arms, his lower body began swelling that he clamped his legs wanting to rub himself free of the unbearable stimulation.
Si Ning had never been kissed like that before to the extent of not having the upper hand and having difficulties in thinking straight. He lost all senses when Xiu Zhicheng slipped his hand inside his robes and Si Ning's felt as if his skin went up in flames, his head twirling around that he wasn't aware of when his sashes went lose and only jolted when the lower part of him was taken into a warm firm hold that Si Ning almost cried out from the pleasure just by the contact that he trembled when he felt Xiu Zhicheng hand start to move up and down his length, the pleasure keeps crawling all over his body but he was going to blame himself for not getting someone to warm his bed, that would be his only excuse for being sensitive to Xiu Zhicheng's touch.
Xiu Zhicheng hand moved faster, he pulled back and was pleased to see the alluring expression Si Ning was making like he couldn't get enough that Xiu Zhicheng had to land a kiss on his fair neck that was exposed to him, trailing kisses down the delicious-looking neck to the shoulder, then he bit hard and Si Ning wrapped his arms around his neck.
The pleasure was so unbearable that Si Ning's eyes almost rolled back in his head when he finally released and started shaking from the lingering after-effect, he tried to clear his head to pull away but it was Xiu Zhicheng that pulled away first. A satisfactory grin played on his lips and that was when Si Ning felt a hard thing poke underneath him when he shifted on his laps that he jolted, his eyes landed on the loads of thickish whitish substance that smeared his robes and Xiu Zhicheng's robes and he wanted to run and hide at the shamelessness he just displayed and how quickly he released.
It was so embarrassing how he chased after pleasure that he forgot who was pleasuring him, his cheeks turned red in embarrassment knowing he should have least masturbated enough in the bath instead of thinking about the problems he had to solve each time he was relaxing in the bathtub.
Because Xiu Zhicheng was probably horny made Si Ning to expect them to go inside for them to complete their sexual activity instead Xiu Zhicheng took a white napkin from the table and started cleaning the mess up then released him when he was done which made Si Ning quickly tidy himself up jumping up as he quickly glanced at the faraway guards and palace maids and just as expected their heads were still lowered in their standing position.
Seeing a red face Si Ning trying to hide his embarrassment, as he quickly ties his sashes, his hands quivering while he wore an annoyed look made Xiu Zhicheng smile, he found it quite amusing how cute Si Ning was and how his brows knitted as he sat opposite him and Xiu Zhicheng could tell just how much Si Ning was unsatisfied.
Si Ning knew it was now or never for him to say his mind, he clenched his teeth already knowing he would never forgive himself for giving in to pleasure. "Your Majesty I do not want to marry you." He said finally trying to concentrate and push his thoughts away from the handsome man before him that he would love nothing than to be pinned down on the grass right beside the lake.
Si Ning expected Xiu Zhicheng to look shocked at his declaration instead, his expression doesn't change as his gaze didn't for once shift from Si Ning like he was trying to see through him which made Si Ning to lower his head.
"Did you fall in love with someone else?" The calm voice was soothing that Si Ning had to raise his head to watch Xiu Zhicheng's expression, seeing that Xiu Zhicheng wore an impassive look made him shook his head and lowered his head but when he didn't hear another word he raised his head to see Xiu Zhicheng's eyes were still on him.
"No." Si Ning said because he felt like he needed to reply as he clamped his hands together. Xiu Zhicheng just pleased him and here he was blurting out that he doesn't want to marry him.
"You know that I fancy you ever since I laid my eyes on you when you first came to the palace, you are the only one for me so why are you making it difficult?"
There is no way to prove that Xiu Zhicheng was telling the truth that was what Si Ning thought as he raised his head to see that Xiu Zhicheng was still wearing an impassive look.
For them to have been together since he was sixteen and got separated because Xiu Zhicheng betrayed him made Si Ning want to yell out all of this but instead he opened his mouth thinking if it was proper to say his next words then he shrugged his fear off and said.
"If you want me to stay by your side, make me your Empress."
