ARC 2.20: Underneath the Sakura tree

Quirra sat under the shade of a sakura tree, letting the petals fall down on her as she laid back onto the chaise while reading a mystery book she found.

There were pillows around her propping up her head and back as her head maid feeds her grapes every once in a while.

Quirra didn't really like the layers of dresses that she had to wear everyday, so today she only wore the outer layer of her dress and her undergarments. Her socks and shoes were off as well, as another two of her maids massaged each of her feet. Her hair was down with no ornaments. She had no makeup whatsoever, and her only jewelry was a matching Jade bracelet and a large ring on her thumb that signifies her status as Queen.

This scene is exactly what Liwei witnessed when he walked out of Chonglin's courtyard after their fight. He was so angry that he began marching back to his own courtyard to do some work however, his feet lead him to his Queen wife's courtyard.

With just one look at her, his anger and disappointment towards Chonglin instantly disappeared. He felt relieved instead. This relaxed and peaceful state of his Queen wife is something he envied.

-'Why could he not spend his afternoon just like she does? Would not his life be easier and more tranquil like this?'-

Immersed in his own thoughts, he didn't notice his feet moving towards Iwa. Without a word, he sat beside her before deciding to rest his head on her chest as he laid down horizontally on her.

Quirra looked down at him for a moment before looking at her servants intently. With just one look every one of her servants understood the meaning behind it, and so they all left her courtyard to give their highnesses some privacy.

Once they were all alone, Quirra continued reading her book as she blatantly ignored Liwei. She figured that he would talk to her whenever he's ready. But if he wanted to make love to her, she's always ready. However, if he wanted to stay this way for awhile, she would let him. She's willing to give him whatever he needed and be whatever he wants, as long as it would bind him to her even more.

Liwei could smell the cherry blossom in the air, but Iwa's sweet scent overpowers any other fragrance in the air. As he was savoring his Queen wife's sweet scent, his mind was mulling over his thoughts about his Queen.

Why is she always so steady with everything she does? Her decisions are always so precise. Her actions are fair and swift. Her time alone was even peaceful. Her treatment with the others are noble, be it with the nobles, commoners and even with the servants. Everything about her is what a Queen should be worthy of.

Yet she would throw all of this away just to be a traveling musician? Liwei smiled at the thought. If she would become a traveling musician then he would be her guard. They would travel the world together, eat good food in every capital they would go to, meet new people, and then look at every beautiful scenery and enjoy their moment together.

If only their lives could be that simple.

"Iwa..." Liwei said after a long time.

I: "Hmmm?"

L: "If you have a chance to travel, eat different kinds of delicious food, meet different people and see the beauty of our land....would you do it?"

Liwei could see her went still for a moment and squeeze her book tightly with her fingers, but she didn't answer him immediately like he thought she would.

"No..." Iwa finally replied after a moment.

L: "Why?"

I: "Because. . . I am a lady. . . .If I were a man I would say 'yes' in a heartbeat. But because I am a lady and I am married to you, I do not want to go anywhere. . .specially if it is not with you."

Liwei's heart felt so full with her confession. Knowing that she wanted to experience her traveling and adventures with him. His Queen wife only have him in her heart and did not want to part from him! He feels like the luckiest man alive.

Liwei's eyes heated up with passion and he tenderly kissed her chest, slowly moving upwards, leaving a trail of kisses from her neck up to her ear, to which he went to her mouth where she moaned wantonly at his passionate kiss.

Liwei smiled at his Queen wife during the kiss, when he gently pulled back and after, his hands slid down to undress her while kissing her neck.

"My Queen. My wife." He said in between kisses. When he successfully stripped her dress and undergarments down, he leaned back to admire the beautiful piece of art which is Iwa's body.

Then he went to kiss her body. Starting from her neck and down to her breast where he teased her nipple with his tongue while kneading the other with his hand. His other hand went down below, and when it find it's target he began playing with her already wet womanhood. He could hear her wetness below through her soft moans.

His mouth began to travel down south, and when he finally landed on her clitoris, Quirra gasped loudly as he sucked and nipped on it gently in a teasing manner. With his talented fingers and mouth, Quirra didn't last long as she came in his mouth.

A triumphant smile was plastered on Liwei's face as he went up to kiss her on the lips. "My beginning and my end." Liwei said as he further deepened their kiss.

Dammit! Quirra thought as she glared up at the falling sakura petals while they kiss. He basically just declared his love for her yet why won't he just say those three damn words!?? Argggh!

Feeling frustrated at her lack of progress, Quirra stripped him down as well then rolled him to his back. She went to straddle Liwei and started to bounce up and down on him as she made hard love with him, underneath the sakura tree.

The wind carrying their cries of pleasure along with the scent of sex and cherry blossoms.
