After all the celebration and commotion had finally ended, only the soft whisper of the wind remained in the vast Qinyi Courtyard. Mu Xueshi leaned against the Third Prince’s shoulder and lazily yawned. “They’ve finally all gone.”
“Had they stayed any longer, dawn would have broken,” the Third Prince sighed.
Mu Xueshi burst out laughing and pinched the Third Prince’s cheek. “You have moments when you’re this adorable too?”
“Mind your manners!” the Third Prince threatened coldly.
Today, however, Mu Xueshi truly was no longer afraid. Seeing the Third Prince’s cold expression, he widened his own eyes, wrinkled his nose, and pressed his lips tightly together before squeezing three words through his teeth: “Are you scared?”
Faced with Mu Xueshi’s ridiculous expression, the Third Prince felt nothing except an urge to laugh.
“Isn’t it exhausting to keep such a stern face every day? Why can’t you laugh freely like me for once?”
The Third Prince said nothing and merely looked at Mu Xueshi with indulgence.
Mu Xueshi stood, turned to face the Third Prince directly, and said, “Come on, copy me. Hahaha…”
The corners of the Third Prince’s lips lifted, but he could not laugh as unrestrainedly as Mu Xueshi. Forget him—even no one else in the palace could laugh in such a manner.
By the time Mu Xueshi finished teaching him, the Third Prince’s smile was already vastly different from his usual one. Feeling highly accomplished, Mu Xueshi happily sat down beside him again.
The window had been opened, allowing them to see the night outside from the bed. The sky was clear, scattered with countless stars beneath a brilliant moon. Mu Xueshi’s face was as luminous as the moon, while his beautiful eyes sparkled like stars…
The Third Prince gradually became entranced as he watched him. Although Mu Xueshi’s appearance stirred his heart every day, he had never felt quite as he did tonight.
This person finally belonged entirely to him. From this day onward, wherever Mu Xueshi went, he would carry the mark of Mu Linxi. The Third Prince would no longer fear someone stealing him away or taking him from his side, nor would he ever again have to worry that Mu Xueshi might leave him.
Mu Xueshi was staring blankly outside when he suddenly felt a tingling itch beside his ear. He instinctively tried to dodge, but the Third Prince tightened his arms around him.
The Third Prince’s tongue lingered mischievously over Mu Xueshi’s ear, sometimes tracing the delicate curve with gentle licks, sometimes circling slowly around his earlobe. Whenever Mu Xueshi began to relax, he would even take half the ear into his mouth and suck forcefully, savoring his taste.
Mu Xueshi’s body immediately began to tremble, and his hands moved toward the Third Prince of their own accord. The soft, breathless sounds spilling from his lips seemed exceptionally sweet and alluring in the quiet night.
The Third Prince moved his thin lips to Mu Xueshi’s mouth and gave him a fleeting kiss. Mu Xueshi clearly found it insufficient and leaned closer to kiss him properly, but the Third Prince cleverly evaded him. He would lightly kiss Mu Xueshi once more before withdrawing again, driving Mu Xueshi increasingly frantic.
Mu Xueshi furrowed his brows, his lips slightly pursed. To the Third Prince, every expression he made was unbearably adorable.
The Third Prince finally stopped teasing him and gently pressed his lips against Mu Xueshi’s. Unexpectedly, Mu Xueshi angrily bit him, nearly drawing blood.
In punishment, the Third Prince forced Mu Xueshi’s teeth apart. His tongue swept across the neat row of teeth and domineeringly entangled Mu Xueshi’s smaller tongue, freely savoring the taste that belonged to him.
Sweet saliva accidentally slipped from the corner of Mu Xueshi’s mouth, making him appear wanton and enticing. The Third Prince caught the hand Mu Xueshi raised to wipe it away, then sensually licked every trace from his lips.
They removed each other’s red outer robes and pulled free the red hairpins securing their hair. Long black strands spilled down around them. Dressed only in red inner robes, the two gazed at one another like a pair of immortal lovers.
The Third Prince slowly explored every part of Mu Xueshi’s body. Even through the thin fabric, he could feel the smooth delicacy beneath it. Mu Xueshi’s hands also lingered across the Third Prince’s firm chest, and the soft, teasing movements disturbed the Third Prince’s breathing.
The Third Prince’s hand lightly swept over Mu Xueshi’s chest, grazing the two sensitive buds beneath the thin fabric.
“Mm…”
After growing accustomed to the restrained, desireless life of a martial artist, even the slightest stimulation now left Mu Xueshi unbearably aroused.
The Third Prince gently pinched the two points and toyed with them wickedly, watching Mu Xueshi’s body tremble beneath his touch as a faint pink flush spread across that stunning face.
“No… Linxi…” Mu Xueshi could not suppress a moan.
The Third Prince deliberately asked, “You don’t want it?”
“No… I meant hurry…” Mu Xueshi glanced at him with his face flushed crimson.
The Third Prince laughed helplessly and slowly peeled away the impatient little thing’s inner robe, exposing his pale, captivating chest. The two rosy points set upon it trembled slightly.
The Third Prince greedily caressed Mu Xueshi’s fair body. His skin was still as smooth as before, but practicing martial arts had made it firmer and more supple.
The Third Prince gently closed his lips over the sensitive point on Mu Xueshi’s left side and teased it with the tip of his tongue.
Mu Xueshi arched his elegant neck, unable to suppress the moans spilling from his mouth. In his excitement, he tried to pull open the Third Prince’s clothes, only to make the knots tighten instead.
Seeing Mu Xueshi’s anxious expression, the Third Prince smiled and gave his own clothing a gentle tug. The red inner robe immediately fell to the floor.
Mu Xueshi’s gaze dropped to the massive, swollen arousal between the Third Prince’s legs. Although it was not the first time he had seen such a frightening thing, the sight still filled him with lingering apprehension.
The Third Prince’s burning hardness began pressing and rubbing against Mu Xueshi’s only entrance. Mu Xueshi could not help moving his hips, but he could not escape the Third Prince’s deliberate torment.
The Third Prince spread Mu Xueshi’s legs wide and carefully watched as Mu Xueshi’s own arousal stood erect and trembled because of him.
Displeased by the wicked desire in the Third Prince’s gaze as he stared at his private parts, Mu Xueshi tried to kick him. Instead, the Third Prince caught his ankle and spread his legs even farther apart.
The Third Prince lowered his head into the soft hair between Mu Xueshi’s thighs and enveloped his vulnerable length within the warmth of his mouth.
“Mm… Xi…” Mu Xueshi abruptly arched his body, his toes curling uncontrollably.
The Third Prince skillfully teased Mu Xueshi’s desire until clear fluid appeared at the tip and desperate moans escaped his mouth. Only then did the Third Prince withdraw at precisely the right moment. He turned Mu Xueshi over and pressed him facedown against the bed.
Mu Xueshi had just begun to complain that he disliked the position when a sensation shot from his tailbone straight through his back and into his mind, making him plead involuntarily.
“Xi… mm… ah…”
The Third Prince’s tongue was pressing and probing against Mu Xueshi’s tightly closed entrance. Contracted from sensitivity, it appeared irresistibly wanton and enticing. The Third Prince wished he could thrust his burning hardness directly inside at once and ravage the little creature beneath him.
When Mu Xueshi suddenly felt a warm foreign object enter his body, he could not suppress a moan, and his legs began trembling involuntarily.
The Third Prince expertly located Mu Xueshi’s most sensitive spot. With only the lightest pressure, he drew a tearful whimper from him.
The Third Prince slowly withdrew his finger and added another, gradually stretching the tightly closed inner walls apart with two fingers.
Mu Xueshi probably found it painful, for his body slowly edged forward in an attempt to escape the Third Prince’s pursuit. The Third Prince immediately pulled him back and abruptly added a third finger.
“Mm… Xi… take one out… It feels too full…”
“If I remove one now, you will find what comes later even more unbearable.” After saying this, the Third Prince began moving his fingers.
The aching fullness mingled with waves of numbing pleasure and assaulted Mu Xueshi’s mind, leaving him desperate to escape yet unwilling to abandon the overwhelming sensation.
When the Third Prince judged that he was sufficiently prepared, he lifted Mu Xueshi onto his lap and guided him to slowly take his enormous hardness inside.
Only a small portion had entered before Mu Xueshi felt that he could take no more. He looked pleadingly at the Third Prince. With tenderness in his eyes, the Third Prince gently stroked Mu Xueshi’s arousal and, while Mu Xueshi was distracted by pleasure, pressed his body downward.
“Ah…”
His inner walls were stretched to their limit, as though the slightest relaxation would tear them apart. Mu Xueshi cried out in pain and glared resentfully at the Third Prince. “Why didn’t you give me any warning?”
Seeing the faint resentment on Mu Xueshi’s small face, the Third Prince’s seductive voice sounded beside his ear. “When you look like this, it only makes me want to bully you more.”
Mu Xueshi choked with anger, but before he could curse, wave after wave of pleasure swallowed him completely, leaving behind only a dazed expression and unrestrained moans.
The Third Prince’s burning hardness drove relentlessly inside Mu Xueshi’s body, as though releasing all the longing and unease that had accumulated during their time apart.
A tremendous surge of pleasure sent white light flashing before both their eyes, leaving their bodies light and floating as they reached the height of ecstasy.
…
A rooster announced the dawn, orioles began to sing, and the moon’s final glow faded away.
The Third Prince gently smoothed Mu Xueshi’s hair and whispered, “Xueshi, I have bound my heart to you. You will belong to me for this entire lifetime.”
An intoxicating smile curved Mu Xueshi’s lips…
