Chapter no.43 A Passionate Night ( +18 Lemon )

Life for Zhongli and Jasmine only got better following that day.

At school, Jasmine would try to help Zhongli understand his studies but they would always end up just getting lost in each other's eyes much to the ire of the onlookers.

Winters were spent over the ice as Zhongli would worry that Jasmine will hurt herself while ice skating.

Tears went by in the blink of an eye as Zhongli eventually proposed to Jasmine who could only cry in response as she was overwhelmed with joy.

.....

The room shone brightly as the luminance of the full moon diffused through the clear drapes of the window in the calm night sky. Zhongli sat quietly alone on the bed staring outside and noticed the white lilies on the fields near the coast of the eastern sea glowing faintly under the moonlight. Such a rare tranquility made him muse about the many events that transpired over the past years.

He recalled the first time he and Jasmine crossed paths outside that alleyway and the events that followed.

Zhongli smiled when he remembered that only their wedding day, he was surprised to find Jasmine alone praying with a pigeon out of all creatures. Despite her reticence, the two agreed to pray for a wish to come true.

The wish to see her smile.

That was his wish

He and Jasmine are enjoying the last few days of their honeymoon in a quaint village just near the eastern sea. Much of their time has been spent traveling to the most beautiful parts of the Chen Dynasty.

Tonight, Zhongli and Jasmine wanted to push their relationship to the next level.

It was both an enticing and frightening thought for both of them. Throughout most of their relationship, the most they have gone in terms of their affection had been kissing and cuddling. Zhongli was unsure if he would be a good enough father for his child. Jasmine, meanwhile, never had a pleasant childhood herself and was terrified of being a horrible mother, let alone the idea of sex in which both are completely inexperienced. Yet here he is: awaiting this momentous occasion as Jasmine prepares herself for the night.

His hands were clamped, almost feeling a cold sweat as the minutes passed by. What if things were to go horribly? Is Jasmine still okay to go through this? Is he okay to go through it as well?

Zhongli thought to himself. Oh great ancestors, if you're listening, I need your help. I'm just-

The thought immediately crashed as he heard the door open, in which he turned to see Jasmine enter the room in plain white sleeping clothes. The ambient lighting accentuated the fairness of her pale skin, and her curly hair gave an angelic disposition to her presence. He was immediately awestruck by her appearance, something which Jasmine quickly took notice of and blushed at the thought.

"It's… not nice to stare, you know," Jasmine replied as she lightly stroked her hair and walked closer to sit next to Zhongli on the bed.

"S- Sorry." Zhongli stuttered, inching to give space to Jasmine for her to sit next to him. "It's just… you're very beautiful."

Jasmine chuckled at his flattery, though she couldn't help but smile knowing his affection for her was genuine. "It's okay. After all, this is to be our… night."

"Right." Zhongli nodded and bashfully turned away to see the moons in full luminance from the window. "You know… you don't have to do this if you're not ready. We can wait for another time."

Jasmine shook her head in disapproval and guided his hand onto her cheek. "No… we both agreed to this. I want this more than anything."

Zhongli trembled as he felt the soothing warmth of her skin on his hand, but remained petrified at the thought. He shamefully and slowly moved his hand onto her lap, causing a slight frown from Jasmine to elicit. "I know, it's just this is our first time doing this, and I want to make this feel right. But…" He began to release his welled-up worries; his fear of hurting her, his potential as a good father, and everything concerning their future together. Yet, she did not flinch, nor did she interject. She sat and accepted everything he said.

"I'm sorry, dear. This was supposed to be our night together and…" Zhongli sighed and rested his face onto his palms in exasperation and self-guilt.

'Congratulations, you moron. You ruined your night together.'

He thought to himself while sitting in silence.

Suddenly, he felt a light stroke on the side of his hair and her hand guiding him to divorce his face from his palms. He turned to see Jasmine, who greeted him with a placid warm beacon that shone brighter than the moon.

"Zhongli," said Jasmine, "remember when I told you about my prayers? I wanted the Goddess to take me away because I felt like a burden and a source of misfortune for everyone. But when you came into my life, you gave me hope for my future and you showed me a reason to fight for myself… and for us." She gently directed his hand once more to her face and leaned closer to his touch. "Had it not been for you, I wouldn't know what to do with myself or worse… take my own life away."

Zhongli felt her trembling breath onto the edge of her palm as Jasmine pushed on with her loving words "I know you're afraid. I was too, but if anything, our child would be ours and ours alone. I have faith you will be able to overcome whatever lies ahead of us, and you will always have me by your side."

"Jasmine…" Zhongli responded.

"I have no regrets about marrying you, and I would not trade our happiness and our time together for anything." She slowly guided her hand from her cheek to the center of her chest, eliciting a gasp from Zhongli. She looked at him with steadfast eyes as she leaned onto his forehead to feel his breath. "I… I love you. And I want you to take all of me."

Zhongli sat shocked and infatuated by his wife's bravery and devotion. Who would have thought the most hyperactive girl he had ever known would end up being the most courageous person in the room? He couldn't help but be astonished by how much she has grown and how much he loved her. In a flash, all his doubts and fears dissipated as he conceded and leaned closer to meet her lips.

He had almost forgotten how soft her lips felt as the two pressed on. Soon, Zhongli instinctively slipped his tongue into her mouth, a gesture Jasmine reciprocated tenfold as she lovingly wrapped her arms around his neck to feel closer to him. The two were completely lost, reveling in the euphoria of their taste, their touch, and their intimate affection for each other.

As they continued to lock lips, the two briefly parted their kiss to strip off their clothes until they were in nothing at all. It took a moment for Zhongli to get over how beautiful Jasmine was; her womanly curves, supple breasts, and sacred areas all shone heavenly under the moonlight. It was the same for Jasmine; she felt completely infatuated by his wonderfully sculpted body and felt lucky to love a man who loved her as well.

She climbed to sit on his thighs and traced her hands over his muscles and scars, signs of a weary warrior overdue for comfort. Entranced by her beauty, Zhongli immediately ran his hands over her porcelain skin, tracing over her supple breasts and her nipples, provoking soft moans to come out from her. He slowly descended his face to her chest, sprinkling kisses on the valley of her breasts and massaging them evenly. Lost in ecstasy, Zhongli brings her hands to Jasmine's hair and pressed his head onto her chest to encourage him. She finds herself quickly lost in his touch, with her body contorting softly and her heart beating faster to his kisses.

Soon after, Jasmine laid herself down on the bed, guiding Zhongli along the way. Zhongli continues to pepper kisses from her breasts down to her stomach and eventually to her lower region, where he stopped to compose himself. He was surprised to find how rather clean her sacred area was, with only a minute collection of hair just above her folds. Zhongli sat perpetuated by how beautiful she was under, though Jasmine swiftly became embarrassed and turned her head sideways to avert his gaze.

"Dear," Jasmine replied. "Y-you're staring again."

Zhongli shook himself out of his stupor and blushingly apologized. "Right. Sorry." He drew his face nearer to her pink folds and proceeded to plant kisses around her nether regions before completely burying himself in her lower lips. Jasmine quickly found herself overwhelmed by the immense pleasure being given. She felt her hips straddling gently to Zhongli's licks and her hands gently massaging his hair as she feels a strange pressure gradually building up.

Zhongli became more vigorous in his actions and felt his member getting harder to her erotic sounds and the taste of her juices. He slithers his fingers near her crevice to circle around her clit and was met with a loud moan she could barely suppress. He can feel her folds becoming plumper and the taste of her juices becoming sweeter. Taking those signals as him doing an adequate job, he pressed onwards.

Jasmine found herself completely dazed in lust. She took one of her hands to massage her breasts while leaving the other to massage her husband's hair faster, encouraging him so that she may feel more of this strange, pleasurable sensation. But she couldn't last for so long.

"ZHONGLI!" Jasmine yelped as she arched her back, released her hand from her breast to grasp the bedsheets, and pressed the other onto Zhongli's head as she climaxed. Zhongli pulled back from her slit to see his wife collapse in exhaustion. It was a sight to behold; the body of a loving, devout woman capitulated to the primal act of sex.

As Zhongli proceeds to crawl onto his wife to gently kiss her, Jasmine soon regained her composure and briefly halted him. "Honey, wait. I- I want to try something."

Zhongli tilted his head in confusion, but as he saw his wife get up from their bed, he immediately followed suit and switched positions. With his head resting on his pillow, he observed Jasmine eyeing his member, fully erect and twitching. She stood astonished at his size and mused how it would feel if it were to be inside of her. Just the sensation of Jasmine's tongue is enough for her to lose it.

"Jasmine," A slightly self-conscious Zhongli interrupted. "It's, uh… not very polite to stare."

Jasmine chuckled at the echoed sentiment. "R-right. I'm sorry. Here I go."

And thus, her hands begin to take hold of her husband's shaft, exhuming a surprised gasp from him. She slowly worked her way up and down, taking the heat and pulsations emanating from his cock. Although she was concerned her movement might be off, Zhongli reassured her she is doing just fine in between his groans.

Zhongli's eyes shot up as Jasmine started to pepper kisses on his shaft before slowly taking it with her mouth. The hot, wet sensation encircling his cock prompted him to grasp the sheets tightly as she took it all in. He felt his limits slowly being pushed, though he was able to keep in control for his sake and Jasmine's.

Jasmine worked her head back and forth, taking in nearly the entire length of his member. To her surprise, she found herself liking the taste and found herself heated at the thought of being this intimate with her husband. She was frankly nervous about how she would do in giving her husband oral sex, though seeing the way Zhongli contorted and conformed to his pleasures gave her a bit of confidence. She quickly took her mouth away from his penis and stroked it to the same rhythm to maintain consistency.

"Are you doing fine, my love?" Jasmine inquired, blushing at her husband's struggle to maintain composure.

"I'm doing great, this feels amazing," Zhongli responded, his eyes squinting and his words barely out of breath.

She chuckled and pressed on with her mouth, this time at a faster pace. She can taste a hint of bitter fluid leaking from his cock, but she reveled in the taste as it reminded her much of him. Zhongli was certain he was in heaven; the heat in Jasmine's mouth, the slight scrape of her teeth against him, and the warm caress of her tongue against his shaft was a test of endurance for him as he repeatedly uttered her name. Jasmine, too, could only go so far as she was getting aroused by the sweet nothings from her husband and the sensation of his member inside her.

Zhongli felt as if he was using every fiber of his body to not climax, but he was at a breaking point. As Jasmine slowed down and took most of his cock in one final thrust, the floodgates had finally opened. But Zhongli could barely settle his beating heart as Jasmine continued to suckle on his member, leaving him clutching onto the sheets tightly until every single ounce of his fluid had been swallowed.

Time stood still for Zhongli for he was still recovering from the incredible work his wife had done. It was bittersweet for his cock and her lips to part ways, but it was a miracle he was still hard after the strain she had put on him. He raised from his bed to kiss his wife passionately, and while he can detect the bitter fluid in between her taste, he didn't mind at all.

"Jasmine, that was wonderful," Zhongli whispered in between kisses.

"I'm happy you enjoyed it, my love," Jasmine responded, struggling to maintain her composure as Zhongli planted deep kisses on her neck.

Though they were torrid from the immense pleasures exchanged between each other, the night was far from over. In between their lovemaking, Jasmine straddled her hips just on top of Zhongli to prepare herself for what was to come. As Zhongli took notice, he was surprised to see Jasmine in position.

"Jasmine," Zhongli inquired, concerned that she wasn't forcing herself. "Are you okay with this?"

The curly-haired beauty cupped her husband's cheek adoringly with a placid smile. "Dear… there is nothing that I want more than to spend the rest of my life with you… and our child." She positions his cock just above her pussy, her hands guiding his shaft to her opening.

"If that is the case, then I want this just as much as you do. You, me, and our future. Together." Zhongli responded assertively. And at that moment, Jasmine's eyes saw the Zhongli she grew to love and adore: steadfast, chivalrous, gentle, and committed. She truly felt like the luckiest woman in all of the world, and she is more than happy to share her future with him. The two of them both know there was no turning back from this, but it didn't matter for they had nothing to lose.

"Are you ready?" Jasmine asked.

"Yes. I am if you are." Zhongli nodded.

Jasmine looked down at the cock brushing at her opening and slowly guiding its way in. Her breaths trembled and her muscles tighten as his member slinked into her crevice, slowly taking it all in. With the final push, her eyes widened as his entire hilt went deep inside her. She clutched onto her partner tightly, hoping to feel more of his warmth as she felt her body shaking from this entirely new sensation. Contrary to what most have said, however, her first time didn't feel pain as she thought it would. Rather, it was a new pleasure for her and a more fervent one than her last recent endeavors.

Zhongli clutched onto her tightly, stroking her flowing hair in comfort as she adjusted to this new sensation. "Honey, are you okay?" He whispered in her ear.

"Y-yes! Oh!" Jasmine yelped, still reveling in the length embedded deep inside her. She briefly covered her mouth and prayed that no one else heard her cries. Needless to say, her reactions amused him even if he was still taking all of her in.

Zhongli held himself there, delirious with a newfound pleasure that nearly overwhelmed him. Her insides felt warm, wet, and incredibly tight, almost enough for him to pass out. Yet by some miracle of the ancestors, he has the energy to press on. He proceeded to thrust himself upwards slowly to feel most of her as much as possible and placed both of his hands on her hips to keep with the rhythm. He can feel her body pressing onto him tightly as they move in sync, both lost in each other's embrace as the night goes on.

Jasmine slowly pulled back from her husband, allowing room for him to massage her breasts and help regain her composure if there was any. Zhongli could hear nothing but the sound of her whispers uttering his name desperately in between her moans, like pleas for help or a gnawing hunger. She was completely lost in a tempest of love.

"Jasmine…"

He leaned forward to lock lips in deep passion, both completely hazed in their consummation. The air emanated with heat and their scent as their tongues clashed with vigor. Zhongli was continually hitting her weak spot, prompting Jasmine's kisses to deepen and her thrusts to become more rapid, ushering guttural groans from her husband in between their lovemaking; sounds that would arouse her even more.

"J- Jasmine, wait a sec…" Zhongli interrupted as he slowed down to her confusion. Before she could say anything, she found herself switching sides with her back resting on her back and him on top.

"I suppose I've been having too much fun." Jasmine giggled, her rosy cheeks infatuating Zhongli.

"Don't worry. The best part isn't over yet." Zhongli smirked as he leaned forward to kiss her and plunge into her wet cavern once more. Both were relieved to feel the searing sensation of each other once more, though this time the feelings were more intimate. As Zhongli moved closer to press on Jasmine's body, she encircled her arms around his neck and buried her face onto it, planting kisses on him and whispering sweet nothings to his ear. Her loving words gave him the energy to express his love in the most tender way possible.

"I- I love you so much!" Jasmine moaned; her words were barely coherent as she loses control. Happy tears shed from her eyes as she continues to hold onto her lover tightly.

"I love you too…" Zhongli replied. He felt his limits being pushed severely as the soaking inner walls of her pussy wrapped around his shaft. Soon, he felt her legs wrapping around his waist, a loving sign from Jasmine begging him to never let her go, though he wouldn't dare break away. Her locked legs pulled him down closer to her, increasing his chances of a climax as he pressed on deeper and harder. Soon he felt her hands clutching tightly onto his back and his hair, wanting to feel all of him at once.

"Zhongli…" Jasmine pleaded as her grip tightens. "I- I think I'm going to cum…"

"Jasmine…" Zhongli uttered in between heavy breaths. "Let's do it together…"

Jasmine acknowledged, and with one final thrust, Zhongli felt his sperm shooting voraciously inside her cavern as Jasmine clutched onto her husband tightly.

Jasmine felt the pulsating member filling her insides with his hot juices, completely weakening her as she pressed her entire body closer to receive as much of him as possible. She arched her back and briefly yelped to the top of her lungs, caving into the massive orgasm overwhelming her.

Eventually, their movements begin to die down as the two starts to catch their breaths while still keeping a tight grip on each other. Zhongli gently collapsed onto Jasmine's body as she tenderly stroked his hair for aftercare. She always loved it when his head rested on her chest; to her, he looked like a young boy soaking in a mother's embrace. She would surely welcome such a thing when the time comes for their child. Her legs soon unwind as she let herself relax from such an immense sensual experience.

"Zhongli," Jasmine cooed. "You were amazing."

"Not bad for our first try," Zhongli muttered, ushering a sweet laugh from his wife.

"If this is our first try, then the sky's the limit." Jasmine directed her gaze towards her husband and leaned to plant a soft kiss on his forehead.

Soon, Zhongli removed his cock and promptly laid next to her, as Jasmine closed her legs to keep the juices inside. As he used the comforter to wrap themselves up together, the two lovers found themselves in each other's holds once more, with their limbs intertwined and their hands tracing each other in various regions.

"Zhongli?" Jasmine asked.

"Hmm?" Zhongli asked as his hand caressed her body, entranced by her natural beauty under the moonlight.

"Promise me you'll stay by my side forever."

"Jasmine…" Zhongli responded as he guided his hand toward her cheek. "I don't know what the future has in store for us, but one thing I know I am certain is that I will always love you and be with you until the day I die. That, and I would want nothing but to build our future together as you wish."

Touched by his kind words, Jasmine's lips quivered in joy and started to trickle happy tears from her amber eyes. He felt the warmth of her face and the stream of her tears lightly streaming onto the edges of his palm, yet her gentle hands held his in position to kiss his palm so tenderly.

" Jasmine?" Zhongli muttered with concern, afraid he had executed his words poorly.

However, his worries were instantly assuaged as Jasmine leaned forward to kiss him deeply once more, letting herself fall into her husband's comforting arms.

"I'm grateful… so very grateful." Jasmine sniffled, wiping a tear from her eye. "Thank you, Zhongli. For everything."

"I should be thanking you for believing in me," Zhongli responded, leaning his face onto her hair. "Here's to our new life together, my Queen."

Soon, the lovers fell asleep, both fully content with each other in a loving embrace. There was no escaping the trials that await the two of them in the future, but they can rest easy knowing things will be just fine. For they will make their fate together as husband and wife.

.....

Life for the married couple was never easy as Zhongli pushed Jasmine to pursue her dreams of being an imperial musician but she never made the cut even with all the hard work.

Her failures led Jasmine to turn bitter as in her drunken stupors she would get into a verbal fight with Zhongli before leaving but never once did Zhongli leave, no; while his wife cried Zhongli was there to give her a shoulder to cry on.

Soon, the news came.

Jasmine was pregnant and that day Jasmine saw the biggest smile on Zhongli's face.

She felt ashamed of her previous actions yet Zhongli just picked her up and spun her around in pure joy.

Jasmine on that day realized; why she fell in love with the man.

Even if her dreams had fallen, Jasmine now had a new hope.

She would be the best mother she could be to her child.
