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

Chapter 53: Ryuuki's Decision

As Shusui and Shuuei conversed, Kouyuu and Sera are doing naughty things in the bath. Kouyuu who had now learned to love a woman cannot stop himself from touching Sera. He had missed her so much. They are indeed married but both of them had been so busy. Sera was called back to Kou province two months after their wedding. So even as they returned in the inn late at night and went to their room, they continued what they were doing. It was Sera's turn and she rode him, controlling the pace.

Meanwhile, as Kouyuu and Sera did their thing in the bath and Shusui and Shuuei talk about their marriage, Ryuuki went to Shuurei's room. Ryuuki did not let this golden opportunity to be with Shuurei. She was combing her hair when he entered and quickly volunteered to be the one to comb her. He loves her long ebony hair.

He is smiling contentedly as he combed her hair that Shuurei wanted to hit him. ''You never really change do you? Why won't you act your age?'' she chided. But truthfully, she liked how foolish Ryuuki acts when with her and the people he trusts. When other people are around he always acts so mature and kingly that it makes her nervous.

''I really like combing your hair. The emperor has not done this to you. Only me did,'' he said referring to his other self. ''The emperor is my love rival now,'' he said as if he is not the emperor.

''What's with you? Did you eat something wrong?'' Shuurei said with a raised eyebrow. But she knew what he is talking about.

''What do you think of the emperor?'' Ryuuki asked.

Shuurei recalled something the emperor did to her and blush. ''He's a pervert.''

''But you let him touch you. I envy him. I wish I could do that too,'' Ryuuki said too honestly. He could still perfectly remember how soft Shuurei's breast felt.

''Why you!'' Shuurei threw him a comb and he caught it easily. ''You two are so perverted. Why won't you go to a brothel if you want to touch a woman?!''

Ryuuki suddenly lifted her. ''Shuurei that's cruel. You're teaching me to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh,'' he said and sat down on the bed.

''Wha-what are you doing?'' Shuurei said nervously as she felt him wrap his arms around her.

''I'm going to indulge myself like you suggested,'' Ryuuki said and kissed her cheek.

''What?! Let me go you pervert!''

''I missed you Shuurei,'' Ryuuki said and kissed her full on the lips, not listening to what she just said. He knew Shuurei would respond.

Shuurei shivered. Here comes Ryuuki's warm touch again. She felt his soft lips touch hers and she wanted to run away. She would only embarrass herself again the longer she is with him if he is like this. She felt him lick between her lips, asking for an opening. She parted her lips before she could stop herself. She shivered at the sensation of his warm tongue entering her. The warm touch of this gentle person and his loving kisses, it reaches her heart and it makes her fear that she would totally lose herself. He is smothering her. And the next instant, she responded.

She could no longer resist this person, like she cannot resist the king. The king and this man are two sides of a coin and she loved them both for they are one. ''You said you won't be asking for my hand since the king needs me,'' Shuurei said when they broke apart.

''Yes. I won't marry you yet since the king wants you. But I will surely marry you someday since I have a feeling that if I won't marry you, you will never marry,' he said and it is true. Shuurei had no plans to get married, and if Ryuuki would not be able to make her marry him, she would spend her whole life living for the sake of the king she loved to serve. ''I'm just indulging myself like I've said. I missed my Shuurei so I would kiss you now as much as I like. I won't hear any excuses. I know you missed me too,'' Ryuuki confidently said as he stroked her hair gently.

''What are you talking about? I won't marry you. I don't miss you either,'' Shuurei said with a blush. She had just kissed him back and saying that to him would not help her. Ryuuki kissed her again and she responded. As their kiss deepened, she responded as eager as he is. Now she could not deny that she missed him too.

''I love you Shuurei,'' Ryuuki whispered that again and again as he kept on kissing her. He is so happy now that Shuurei responds so eagerly to his kisses. He knew that soon, she would be his' and his' alone.

Shuurei might be the one who did not notice or she purposefully neglected it, but her responses to him are warm and full of love. She had always tried not to think of how she felt about this man, and due to that, she never knew she had been inlove with this man for a long time now. She had always rejected his proposals since she wanted to help him as much as she can, no matter what the cost. Even if it is her life, she would give it, if it is for this man. She is not only loyal to the king, she loves the king and this man.

Ryuuki knew all that and he had no choice but to let her love him the way she wanted. But he could not allow her to throw away her life for him. She wanted her to experience more things and live happily, not just for him but also for herself. If she would marry him, he wanted her to do that because she wanted to, because she finally realized that she wanted to be with him too. And as long as she does not realize that yet, Ryuuki is contented with having only a few minutes of her time.

And in times like this where he could have her all for himself, he had decided that he really will enjoy himself. And so he kissed her showing how much he longed for her to be by his side. He did not hesitate to let her know how much he missed her. He would make this woman realize that she loves him too.
