She lifted her hand to pinch the man’s chin, deepening the kiss bit by bit.
He could no longer contain himself, lifting his hand to support the back of her head, deepening their kiss. He then propped himself up, wanting to pin her beneath him.
"Don’t move!" Gan Yuan pressed down on his shoulders, slightly lifting her head, "Tonight... you’re mine!"
He smiled with his lips.
If she wanted to have the upper hand, he’d let her have it.
His father had said it well, women are meant to be pampered.
Pleased with herself, she lowered her face and pecked his lips lightly, before her hand moved down to grasp the buttons on his shirt, one by one undoing them.
Unbuttoning and kissing her way down.
From his chin to his collarbone, to the scar on his side rib...
"Is this a knife wound?"
Her fingers traced his scar as she asked softly.
Huangfu Jue looked up briefly, "When I was young, I fell from a tree and accidentally got stabbed by a branch."
She frowned instantly, "Is being a king... that difficult?"
"It’s unrelated to being a king," he said indifferently, "I just wanted to be a better version of myself."
She lightly stroked the scar as long as a finger, "Have you ever thought about leading a simple, ordinary life?"
The man shook his head gently, "I was born this way."
Being born into royalty, as a prince, how could he possibly lead a simple life? He had never even considered such a question.
From the time he knew better, he knew he had to become a king, so from that time, he had been working towards that goal.
Without saying anything more, she bent down to gently kiss his scar, then continued downward...
The man’s breathing grew rapid, his hand reaching out to catch her palm, his voice husky as he called out her name.
Sitting up straight, she pulled at her T-shirt, leaning forward to press her body close to his.
"I’ll give myself to you now."
Their eyes met, and he could no longer restrain himself. He kissed the lips she offered and with a sweep of his arm, pulled her tightly into his embrace.
Only embers remained of the charcoal fire, but nobody bothered with it.
Worried about disturbing Xiaotang, Huangfu Jue carried her straight into the tent, wrapping her in blankets as they crawled in.
The tent had a transparent top, allowing a clear view of the starry sky above.
"It’s been a long time since I watched the stars ." Huangfu Jue reached over to tuck the blanket around her, "When we have time, let’s go camping again. To the southeast from here, there’s a valley filled with Red Spider Lilies. At the end of summer, they bloom like flames..."
Gan Yuan had been resting against his chest, her fingers idly tracing meaningless patterns on his skin.
At the mention of Red Spider Lilies, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Ajue, I’m afraid we can’t go camping again, I..." She withdrew her fingers, took a deep breath, "I have to... leave... tomorrow!"
She clenched her teeth as she propped herself up, the blanket sliding off, exposing her body to the cold air, instantly covering her in goosebumps.
Huangfu Jue quickly sat up, reaching for the blanket, pulling it around her.
Good morning, Mina~!~
