author_aruel6mthReplied to Viola_CordellThere is nothing more satisfying than to hear someone stayed up to read, that they could not get the story out of their dead. I have been that reader and I know how it feels like. To know I could inspire such a feeling into another is priceless. It is like gifting a most precious gift. It is the reason I write. Thank you for accepting my gift. Stay safe! Stay hungry for good reads! Much love to you.

back then men could have multiple wives and still enjoy the company of prostitues and concubines. It was seen as virility, and financial and social position statements. it was encouraged. What can I say,...privileges, privileges.

Hi, thank you for the question. In ancient and modern Eastern culture, Qi means the life force within living things. The Qi could be nurtured or squandered depending on actions. Men’s were seen as consumers of Qi, while women were the givers of Qi. A man needed his Qi for fighting, for example, and enjoying sexual release meant he consumed his Qi while if a woman experienced pleasure in a man's company he refueled his Qi.

misspelled - pathos as in a quality that evokes pity or sadness. Thank you.

True that :)))
Soo-Ah pushed her hair aside and heeded his instructions, clumsily keeping her teeth away but making the man gasp for air nonetheless. He kept her head in place and shoved his staff deeper, tickling the back of her mouth and making it impossible for her to swallow. The sudden push made her brace herself against his hips. She struggled, having her entire mouth under siege, her heartbeat picking up a notch from the adrenaline of not knowing if and when she would be allowed to finally breathe at ease. This was definitely an activity requiring a level of sophistication that could only come with experience. - author_aruel10mthReplied to elizabethe_eagles
Awwww, bless you..Yes, 153 and the story comes to an end.
All the servants of The Yangtze Riverbank Tea House were kept busy with more useful things than gossip. But that did not stop them. They still gossiped and giggled while preparing the most luxurious room on the upper floor to be worthy of a royal patron. Beyond the double cherry doors, precious materials and extravagant furnishings in lavender tones showed the matrons spared no money for the comfort of their top clientele. Under draped sheer veils sat an inviting bath carved in marble and having hot water fill it to the brim. Ginseng and dried camellia petals were sprinkled to make a soaking infusion aimed to restore the vigour and replenish colour with colour for a healthy skin glow. The perfect tonic to set up the body for any kind of activities, platonic or otherwise. - author_aruel10mthReplied to elizabethe_eagles
Yes, the first one came as a shock
Soo-Ah looked at the scene in disbelief. She realized what was going on only after Sung-Ho's second his. With a shaking voice, she pleaded for the men to cease. - author_aruel10mthReplied to elizabethe_eagles
:))) Ups!!!! Though I have nothing against poodles :)))

Strange? Could it be the number of words - this one has about 2000 - the other one had 1700 words
When she put her mind to it, Soo-Ah could be diligent and an overachiever in her studies, something her grandfather's tutoring skills embedded deep: a willingness to learn. - author_aruel10mthReplied to PigglyWiggly24
so dumb yet so cute.....right? right? :))
Well, that serves him right. He was the one that fell so hard for her. Maybe this should serve as a cautionary experience and he should take a couple of steps back. Did she want to be alone? Fine. She could be alone all she wanted. - author_aruel10mthReplied to PigglyWiggly24
i <heart> this comment :)
When had Soo-Ah become such an astute manipulator or was he that gullible around her? He hoped that at least he kept his promise since he saw her stumbling a little after she got up on her feet. He did say he would give her more pleasure than she could handle. - author_aruel10mthReplied to PigglyWiggly24
:)) Buckle up
This was one development she did not expect. Neither that she would feel guilty to see him sleeping outside once again. Maybe sharing this intimate experience with each other had not been the best of ideas. Since it came to pass though, perhaps it was better for each of them to have some space. But only for tonight. - author_aruel10mthReplied to elizabethe_eagles
Some high windows - they will be mentioned later on.
Her eyelids were too lazy to chase the sleep away until she got a glimpse of the unfamiliar ceiling. Soo-Ah blinked fast until she was wide awake, remembering where she was and how she got there. Willingly, she closed her eyes again in a futile attempt to keep that last vision of her dream still embedded on her retina; her grandfather sitting on the porch of their country manor, calling for her to come home. Home. How she would have preferred that dream to be her reality and her reality to be just a nightmare. - author_aruel10mthReplied to elizabethe_eagles
Oh, that would have been a nice touch, but perhaps she felt the girl would let go more easily without the note and would not miss her as much ;)
His was the only love she got for free. The only kind of love that was pure in this world. A parent's love for his child. Except he was not her parent. They were not even blood-related, and he had offered her everything, no price tag attached. Her grandfather was indeed one of a kind. - author_aruel10mthReplied to elizabethe_eagles
Aww, thank you
With his hair still damp from the bath he just took, and the shirt clinging to his wet torso, Jung-In cracked his door open. His face lit up for one second, before turning cold. Without any words, he stepped aside to return to his rattling, allowing the woman to do as she pleased. - author_aruel10mthReplied to author_aruel

And I LOVED having you around. Thank you for the gifts and for the review - it honors me, but most of all thank you for all the lovely comments, which allowed me to be there with you, along the ride. It was like reading the story again, and finding excitement in forgotten places - truly an invaluable gift.
