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

Chapter 56: Temptation

He slowly walked near her bed and when Jyuusan tried to reach him, she nearly fell off the bed. He caught her quickly despite being drunk too. ''Will you behave yourself and just lie down,'' he scolded. And Jyuusan looked like she is going to cry.

''Seiran is really cruel. I just wanted company,'' she said with a sad face that he cannot resist. He sat down beside her. ''Everyone's so lovey-dovey. Don't you think we should comfort each other? We're the only ones left out,'' Jyuusan said and Seiran thought that she must be really drunk. But deep inside him he thought that she is right. Everyone there are lovers and only they, are not.

''Sleep already. I won't leave until when you're asleep.'' He shivered when Jyuusan slowly caressed his cheek as she looked at his lips.

Jyuusan lay down on the bed and said, ''lay down beside me then.''

''What?!'' Seiran panicked. 'Is she really drunk or she's just tricking me?' he thought. She pouted like she's going to cry when he just stared at her. He sighed and lie down beside her. She smiled at him sweetly and something inside him churned again. He noticed that she looked so beautiful when she smiles sweetly like that without ulterior motive. He wanted to kiss her.

''What's wrong?'' Jyuusan asked with her face so close to his. He blushed. ''Do you want to kiss me?'' she said as if reading his mind. ''It's okay. You can kiss me all you want until when I fall asleep,'' she said and parted her lips.

Seiran stared at her and wondered how she knew what he was thinking. And with her so close to him and gazing at his eyes with her lips parted, he cannot resist kissing her. He touched her cheek first and quickly withdrew his hand when he felt a spark at the contact of their skin. Jyuusan must have felt it too since she blinked.

He tried touching her cheeks again and it wasn't there anymore. ''Stay here and sleep beside me,'' Jyuusan demanded and he just nodded. He caressed her cheek again and kissed her. She responded lazily and let him explore her mouth, the feeling of his tongue making her heart race.

He loved the sensations that their kiss is giving to his body. He loved how soft her lips felt, how good she tasted despite the sake, her hand stroking his hair, and her scent that he could smell very well. Desire coursed through his body and he felt himself getting hard as she kissed him back with their bodies sharing each other's heat.

He was unlucky though since Jyuusan is drowsy and sleepy from the sake. He really kissed with her until when Jyuusan fell asleep. He was kissing her whole face when he realized she had drifted to sleep. She was really drunk.

'Am I that boring that women sleep on me?' he thought angrily due to his craving not satisfied. But he smiled as he watched her sleep soundly with no nightmares. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. He smiled to himself as he remembered that this woman sleeping beside him who looked so angelic could turn into a little devil when she is awake.

The blankets covered them up to their waist since Jyuusan moved it down when she turned to him. He gulped when his eyes went down from her lips down to her throat and lingered on her rich chest. He wanted her. His craving still hard and erect.

He recalled the boy whose face was smacked to this chest. He wanted to know how it felt too. He gazed at it and noticed that a bit of her cleavage is revealed to him. He swallowed hard. He wanted to see more. More of her white soft skin especially on that part. He nearly touched her breast and perhaps pull her clothes open a little more. But when his fingers are almost touching her, he quickly withdrew and covered her with the blankets.

Then he recalled the white skin of her labia and his eyes darted down to that part covered by the blankets. His mouth watered and he licked his lips. He recalled the folds, the slit that was traced to her underwear that he saw the night she slept in his mansion. He recalled exactly how she smelled. That part covered by her underwear that time, he had a glimpse of it in this resort – in the forest. He wanted to see it fully. He licked his lips again and was not able to resist kissing her lips. He gazed at her and stopped himself from removing the covers.

He took a deep breath. 'What the hell was I thinking?!' he looked at Jyuusan who is sound asleep due to the sake she drank. 'Tsk. Drunk women are so vulnerable. They should not drink so much and stay with men when they are like this. They invite temptation and danger. Then it would be our fault if we succumb to their unintended seduction,' he thought.

He wanted to slap and hit himself for what he nearly did. 'What the hell am I getting aroused for? This woman is dangerous and had nearly killed me for several times. Stop thinking about her that way!' he mentally scolded himself.

Ever since that night when Jyuusan let him touch and kiss her, there are nights when he could not fall asleep as he reminisced how she looked that time, how she smelled, how her curves felt under his touch and kisses, how her eyes watched him with desire, and how she kissed him with passion. He can never forget that night. He dreamed about it many times.

Ever since that night, there is not a night when he peacefully slept without thinking of Jyuusan. No, it wasn't just from that night. It started ever since she first kiss him full on the lips. He had never forgotten that; and after the night in his mansion, it all worsened and she is all he could think about.

She is always in his dreams and nightmares when he sleeps. There a lot of times too when he caught himself looking at her features from faraway. He had also been pushing aside perverted thoughts about her that suddenly springs in his mind every now and then. Like for instance seeing her totally naked in front of him with an inviting look and parted lips as she looked at him.

That single kiss when she distracted him; and that single night when she asked him to make her forget, did so much to him and his mind that he cannot stop himself from feeling a strong desire and craving for her – not just her body, but her whole being. He wanted her entire existence, her entity, and he did not know why.
