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

Chapter 62: Impure Thoughts

A certain military officer trudged through the lush forest back and forth. He seemed to be looking for something and he had been walking for hours. He sighed and decided that it would be better to leave before it gets dark. 'Perhaps I was tricked,'' he thought and started to walk down.

Seiran sat down beside a tree to rest. It seems like he is lost. He was not able to track back where he had walked before due to the lush greenery. He is sure though that he is almost at the foot of the forest.

He settled his things beside him and drunk water. A cat appeared out of nowhere and snatched his military sash which he had settled on his things. It runaway quickly and he angrily packed his things and trailed to where the cat went. 'What is a cat doing in a place like this? How dare it take my scarf' he irritably thought.

He suddenly heard a woman's sweet humming and saw the cat run towards where the voice emanates from. 'So the thief has a master. Would they use that to command soldiers?' his scarf indicated his rank in the military. He hid himself as he slowly walked towards the sound. As he came closer, he realized that the voice sounded familiar. He froze at what he saw.

He saw Jyuusan standing knee-deep in a pool of water that emanated steam. It is a hot spring. The cat hid behind a stone near it. But that is not what made his eyes widen. He had covered his mouth to silence his gasped.

Jyuusan is fully naked and her eyes are closed as she continued to hum to herself. Her hair, her whole body is dripping wet and she is pouring warm water from her head down to her body. Seiran swallowed hard as his eyes followed the flow of water. From her face, her eyes, her full lips, down to her throat.

He gulped as his eyes lingered to her rosy tipped ample breast. The water continued down her belly to her hips and her legs. He saw the white skin he had a glimpse before. This time however, it is pinkish at the heat of the water and it is in his full view. He blinked his eyes several times in disbelief of what he is seeing.

'My eyes must be deceiving me,' he thought and closed it for a long time. When he opened it again, Jyuusan is really there. Naked and tantalizing to behold. His eyes wandered up and down her body and his mouth watered. He unconsciously licked his lips as he stared at Jyuusan's breast.

He recalled kissing and licking Jyuusan's cleavage. He realized that he is now seeing the parts of her he had not seen last time in his mansion. He let his eyes feast on those parts that are now clearly visible to him.

He could suddenly feel again the feeling of those soft breasts as his hands lavished it. He could taste again the taste of her skin especially of her cleavage as he licked and sucked at it long ago. He licked his lips. He want to touch her naked breasts, kiss it, and suck it and lick at his nipples. She looked luscious.

His eyes went down to her most private part. It looked so soft. 'Yes it's soft and so good to touch,' his memory reminded him. He recalled how she smelled aroused by his touch. He want to touch her there and arouse her so he could smell that aroma again. He had been wanting to see that part of her and he is thankful that she is cleanly shaved again. He could see her slit and seat of pleasure.

He saw Jyuusan's pleasured face in his mind as he run his fingers through that slit. She had stifled a moan then and he had discovered she was wet. When he discovered her seat of pleasure and run his middle finger around it, her lips had parted in a silent moan. He hungrily gaped at her womanhood. He wanted to do all those things again and now without the fabric that had hindered him from touching her directly.

He also wanted to go past that. He wanted to finish it fully. He wanted to enter her and make her moan his name. He imagined a picture of the two of them naked on a bed with him on top of her and with Jyuusan's legs wrapped around his waist pulling him deep and moaning in pleasure as he thrust in and out. ''Jyuusan,'' he whispered as he swallowed hard.

Jyuusan thought she heard her name. 'It must be the wind,' she thought but felt like someone is watching her with lascivious thoughts. She continued humming and walked deeper to the pool of warm water until when she is soaked up to her chest to hide her body. She shivered. The stare she felt was filled with desire and longing. She felt like someone is imagining things to do to her body.

She contemplated of what she should do. She pretended to soak her hair and made it cover her face as she looked around. Her eyes instantly darted to her clothes and her swords. 'That's right,' she thought and fixed her hair and poured water to herself again.

She hummed as she walked to her clothes, pretending to not have noticed the eyes following her every move. She had no choice but to showcase her body again. The situation would be more dangerous if she remained naked and away from her twin blades. She knew where that someone is hiding and let her back be the one in view. She wondered why the presence felt familiar.

Seiran intently watched as Jyuusan bent down to pick up her clothes. He gulped as she dried herself in a towel. He could almost feel how the parts of her that the towel dried felt. He wanted to touch her. ''Jyuusan,'' he whispered to himself again.

That's when he came to realize what he had been doing. He wanted the ground to swallow him. He had just fantasized over her. 'What the hell are those impure thoughts?!' he mentally yelled to himself. For the first time in his life he thought of a woman that way. He never thought of doing that to a woman, Jyuusan is the exception now.

Jyuusan finally finished wearing her clothing, even her swords are now in place. That's when she noticed the cat curled up behind the stone near where she left her clothes. She saw the military scarf and her eyes widened. She recognized it. 'Seiran?! What is he doing here?'

''Show yourself. I know you're there,'' she called out as she faced the tree where she knew the person is hiding.

Seiran's eyes widened in horror. He had been discovered. He paled. He looked down to his erect member. He cannot let himself be discovered. He was glad his long upper clothes are loose and covered down to that part of him. No matter what, he cannot let Jyuusan know that he had been aroused due to her nudity. He can never let her know that he had fantasized over her as he watched her bath.

''Seiran. I said come out,'' Jyuusan called and he trembled. He prayed for the ground to just swallow him whole. He recalled that Jyuusan could identify his presence and wanted to kill himself for not remembering that sooner. ''Seiran,'' Jyuusan said again.

'How could I be shamed like this? I'd rather die in battle,' he thought. He calmed himself and planted a serious expression on his face and slowly showed himself.

Jyuusan's face is unreadable. She is actually relieved that it is really Seiran. She could have killed who watched her bath if it was someone else.

''You're supposed to be training soldiers. What are you doing in a hot spring?'' Seiran asked as if he did not see anything. A blade whistled past him. He paled as he dodged another.

''What the hell was that?! You watched a lady bath and do not even apologize! How shameless!'' Jyuusan barked.

''I'm sorry. I did not see anything. You were soaked in the water,'' Seiran raised his hands as Jyuusan's sword was pointed at his throat.

''Liar!'' Jyuusan snarled and hit the spot behind his knees with a sheathed sword. Seiran crumpled in pain and fell to his knees. ''How could you not know it was me if you didn't look? I felt your presence before that,'' she said and positioned her sword as if ready to behead him.

''Fine. I saw just a glimpse. But that wasn't my intention,'' he pleaded for his life.

''Then what are you doing here? Have you been doing that to my pretty soldiers as well? Sneaking around as they bath?'' Jyuusan asked with a dark undertone that made him shiver.

''I did not. I ended up here when I trailed a cat who stole my sash,'' he explained and was relieved when Jyuusan lowered her sword.
