The Tale Continues (Saiunkoku Monogatari Fanfiction: Ryuuki x Shuurei lemon)

Chapter 45: The Emperor's Touch

Ryuuki kissed as the emperor this time. Shuurei responded to him and even as the kiss deepened she did not push him away. The kiss became more intense and the emperor had already brought Shuurei to his bed and laid her down as he kissed her more aggressively. ''We are greedy too you see,'' Ryuuki said when they broke apart for air. They are both breathing heavily. ''Now that we have kissed you, we want to touch you,'' the Emperor said. He is not asking her permission, he is simply stating it. The Emperor gazed intently at Shuurei, his eyes brimming with desire but she did not show any sign of protest.

The Emperor touched her lips lightly and his fingers slowly went to her cheek. His hand went to her throat and she gulped. His eyes dwelled into hers as his palm slowly touched the necklace hidden under her clothes. Her breathing hiked up when his hand slowly moved down from the necklace down to her belly, slightly touching her chest. He eyed her as he caressed her belly and from there he moved up his hand and cupped her left breast. He simultaneously caressed her breast and Shuurei's breathing became heavier. Her lips have parted and she did not protest. The emperor smiled and kissed her again.

Shuurei kissed back the emperor. She did not have the courage to stop him even as he had been cupping and pressing her breast for a while now. But in truth, she did not feel like stopping him. As she remembered the number of maidens whom she have met that wished to be in this king's chamber, it suddenly felt like an honor to be lying here on this bed with the attention of the Emperor all hers. How many minutes had it been since the Emperor started kissing her? Somehow it felt like it was an honor to be kissed by him, to be touched by him like this. How many women had dreamed to be gazed at and touched like this by the Emperor?

As they kissed, his hand left her breast and went down to her legs. He lavished her legs as they kissed and shifted her so he could caress her butt. Shuurei felt the hand sensually caressing and pressing her behind and the Emperor's kissed suddenly became more demanding. Shuurei suppressed a moan as both of his hands are roaming her now, one hand for her rear and one for her front. He groped her whole body but did not touch one part of her.

''We also want to try touching you there,'' Ryuuki said but still in his Emperor mode. He caressed her legs and opened it. She is lying on her back again. Shuurei's breathing shoot up and she took a sharp intake of breath when his hand caressed her inner thighs. She bit her lower lip to suppress a moan. He repeatedly caressed her inner thighs and the part of her legs and belly which is closest to that thing as he said again in a husky voice, ''we want to touch you there.'' Shuurei gulped as his eyes looked at hers intensely. Her lips parted in a silent moan when he touched her inner thighs again. She knew what he wanted to touch. If he just moved his hand above her thighs, the thing he wanted to touch will be all his. But he didn't. She saw the king bit his lip. He looked like he is making a difficult decision.

Shuurei felt her legs opened and she bit her lip again and blushed in self-consciousness when she realized something. The king lay on top of her and she felt something poke between her opened legs. ''Can you feel now what you have done to us?'' Ryuuki asked her.

''Y-yes Your Majesty,'' Shuurei answered with her face bright red. She was exposed to a lot of things after her travels that she knew he is aroused. She could feel it hard and erect poking at her own softness and she bit her lips again to stop herself from moaning. She did not understand why she felt proud being able to arouse a man. Perhaps because this is the king that many have dreamed but cannot have.

''We can smell and feel that you are aroused as well,'' Ryuuki said. He bit his lips again. ''But we cannot do this can we? We wish to do it to you in the future if at all possible,'' he said and kissed her lips passionately. Shuurei kissed with the king in that position for she did not know how long. They just kissed. He no longer touched her with his hands. He just pinned her with his body and kissed her.

After sunset, Ryuuki said, ''dine with us, Empress.''

Shuurei's eyes widened. 'Did he change his mind?' she thought. The emperor calling her empress may mean they will be married soon. ''Your Majesty?''

Ryuuki smiled. ''Do not give us such a look. We are the same as that man who wished to marry you. You have already stolen our heart the day you stole that man's heart. Even if we will not marry you, you are our Empress. That man's heart and our heart is one.''

''I am honored to be given so much love from Your Majesty. If I may be so bold, that title is too high I may not be able to live up to it,'' Shuurei said with a bowed head.

''You deserve that title. We want our Empress as a woman who loves the people we love and protects the country we protect. We will not give it to any other woman. Do not fear Chief Kou, we do not order you to marry us. Like we have said, we want you too as an official. We are impressed by your talents,'' Ryuuki said knowing what she is thinking. ''Ryuuki and we, love you both as Chief Censor Kou, the Kou Princess, and as Shuurei. We hope to see you succeed in all your dreams.''

Tears stung Shuurei's eyes and Ryuuki hugged her. She sobbed on the Emperor's clothes. But this time she is not crying because she is sad. She is crying because she felt so happy that she did not know how to express it. So far, everything that he had said to her sounded like music to her ears. Music that brought her joy. She will continue serving this king no matter what and in whatever way that is.
