My Enigmatic Barista

|| 07 ||

By the evening, the high-end luxurious banquet was packed with close friends, family, and a few business associates, all here to celebrate Wuxian's birthday. It was an elegant setting, with warm lighting and the quiet hum of conversation blending into the soft, live music playing in the background.

But even amidst the laughter and well wishes, Wuxian's heart raced. He was waiting for that one person, and it wasn't until he felt a strange flutter in his chest, a shift in the air, that he sensed Wangji's arrival, even before his eyes even found him.

Wuxian was busy greeting guests, investors when his gaze snapped to the entrance. There he was—Lan Wangji, entering with his usual quiet composure, as if completely unaffected by the celebration around him.

But Wuxian's heart leapt, betraying his carefully crafted composure. He felt his usual, steadfast demeanor begin to crumble; his gaze softened, his eyes sparking with unguarded affection as he made his way through the guests to greet Wangji.

Wuxian's calm and professional exterior cracked, his composure melting into an unabashed smile. His parents, observing the change in his demeanor, exchanged resigned looks. All his friends almost wished to bump their head on wall watching how Wuxian started hopping like bunny. While a few guests cast him curious glances, clearly confused by the intense look of affection in his eyes. But he didn't care. Wuxian wove through the crowd, ignoring the whispers, and made his way to Wangji.

"Wangji!!!!" Wuxian greeted him warmly, the joy unmistakable in his voice. Without hesitation, he swept Wangji into a hug, his arms tight around Wangji's waist. Wangji stiffened slightly, glancing around at the curious eyes, but Wuxian didn't let go. He leaned in, planting a quick, soft kiss on Wangji's neck, leaving Wangji with a shiver

Wangji didn't show any discomfort in Wuxian's embrace. He could feel Wuxian's smile against his skin when he hugged Wuxian back, though his face unreadable, "Wuxian.......", his voice laced a reminder of their situation.... "There are people"

Hearing so, Wuxian paused a little then in a swift move Wangji found himself against the wall pasted by Wuxian's whole frame along a dimly hallway. "I damn miss you, baby", Wuxian whispered against Wangji's ear making Wangji felt goosebumps. The endearment Wuxian used made Wangji shiver with an unknown spirit. "Just let me breath you for a second, please".....Wuxian spoke as he sniffed Wangji's sandalwood smell, which by now had become his addiction.

Though the smell couldn't help Wuxian much, soon Wangji felt feather-like soft kisses along his neckline, Wuxian's hand roaming on his body over his shirt, but he still felt the warmth of those big palm as it traced each curve of his body. Wangji arched his body, biting his lower lip as Wuxian's teeth sink on his nape. Wangji felt a soothing pain intrude followed by a pleasure when Wuxian started sucking and licking the same spot. Wuxian kept kissing trailing kisses and licks till he reached to Wangji's lips.

"Can I kiss you now?..one kiss"..........Wuxian was nibbling just above Wangji's lips, as they both were breathing unevenly. Wangji worked up by all Wuxian's touches, instead of answering pulled Wuxian by head, closing the gap between them.
