WangXian Forever Book 8

Chapter 96 Learning

The sight that met Wei Ying’s silver eyes, bright with anticipation was a matching eagerness alighting those beautiful golden eyes, watching him back with a territorial gaze.

Lan Zhan’s teeth were very sharp, surprising for a vegetarian, having been on the receiving end of their bite for a few years now...however the difference between carnivorous and herbivorous mammals was not of the slightest interest to him right now.

With those same white teeth, glistening in the light of the candle by their side, Lan Zhan pulled on the ties that held his husband's robes together.

When Wei Ying would have extinguished the flickering flame, Lan Zhan spoke one word.

"Don't."

Wei Ying wasn't sure what had come over his husband suddenly, but he felt quite anxious...in the best of ways.

He raised a brow, not sure if talking was allowed.

"I want to see you." Lan Zhan told him, his big warm hands at Wei Ying’s hips, the heat of which spread through that point of contact, setting his skin on fire.

And he was still fully clothed, Wei Ying lamented.

May I speak?

Wei Ying used their mental connection, delighting in the way he could empower his husband by simply doing whatever he requested. But the strangest thing was, by seemingly giving him something as precious as that...Wei Ying felt as if he was the powerful one out of the two of them.

Such was the magnitude and the depth of their love, that by relying on each other, they only became stronger.

Is it necessary?

Lan Zhan’s reply had him seriously questioning that.

He shook his head, aware that Lan Zhan had stopped doing whatever it was he had started, only to gaze down at him.

There were so many emotions in complete harmony, swirling within the depths of those cherished golden eyes. If Wei Ying had to decipher them all, he would start by saying that love was dominant force, making him glow from an inner light. Each one of those brilliant golden facets reflected back another emotion; there was a fondness, an adoration, there was jubilation and there was joy. Together with a curiosity...and lastly, a small fear.

"Why are you scared, my love?" Wei Ying picked it out first, choosing to deal with negative ones before the others.

His beloved had suffered too much...and Wei Ying wanted to ease his worries away.

"I will forever be afraid of parting from you."

Lan Zhan’s deep voice sent shivers across his warm skin, cooler now.

Wei Ying sat up, cradling his beautiful face.

"My love....my heart....I am and always will be with you. I think the Universe finally gave in and let us be together...this was our final gift. We are both immortal...but we're so much stronger than that now. You don't have to worry...ever again." And then he giggled. "Cannot get rid of me even if you tried!" But his voice was wet with emotion.

Lan Zhan covered his naughty lips with his own, sealing that promise with a reverence, a kiss to remove all doubts. His Wei Ying’s lips were so soft, and yet simply intoxicating. Lan Zhan felt drugged and he was fully willing to carry on tasting the delight which was his husband...but he had plans...and so with a teasing bite to the bottom of Wei Ying's lip, he soothed away the sting with his hot tongue.

Wei Ying was in heaven...

If he had found out earlier what a joy it was to be finally kissing the one...he would have kissed Lan Zhan much faster...maybe even during his punishment of writing out the rules all those years ago.
