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

Chapter 104: Opposite Effects

''You really missed me,'' she managed to say between pants. His kiss yelled that clearly to her and his hands wandered around her body applying honey all over her.

Jyuusan woke up in the morning feeling sticky and smelling of honey. Seiran made use of the honey as a flavoring to his precious meal which he had missed so much.

Jyuusan tried to move. She cannot. Seiran is wrapped around her, really possessive even in sleep and he is soundly sleeping with a smile on his face. He was especially merciless last night since he really missed her. Jyuusan paid the price of purposefully not seeing him for two months. She had slept for hours and yet she still feels exhausted. Seiran really drained her.

She gazed at the sleeping cupid wrapped around her, their limbs twined with each other. She brushed the hair covering his handsome face. He looked contented and a smile curved his lips. She kissed his lips. 'This naughty idiot really enjoyed himself.'

She could have stared at his face forever, but she recalled that she has to meet her soldiers today. She sighed.

''Seiran, wake up! It's already morning. We both have work today,'' Jyuusan shook him.

Seiran woke up and lazily opened his eyes and hugged her tighter. ''I feel like having a vacation for once,'' he stated. ''Maybe we could take a day off or two,'' he suggested.

''Shut up. Don't make me lazy,'' Jyuusan scolded. ''Get off me, I want a bath. See? I'm all sticky thanks to you.'' Seiran was quite playful yesterday. She had bathed after they made love for what seemed like hours in the morning yesterday. But last night, she really could not move an inch after Seiran did all the positions he wanted. They both just collapsed and fell asleep.

Seiran smiled and kissed her cheek. ''I really, really enjoyed yesterday,'' he emphasized with smiling eyes.

''I did not,'' Jyuusan said exactly the opposite of what her eyes are telling him.

''Liar. You had been asking for more and more from last morning till night so I gave my all to you,'' Seiran said as he flexed an arm and Jyuusan kissed him full on the lips. This is the first time that he did not wake up earlier than her. He glanced at the time. He really woke up late for the first time.

Yesterday was pretty intense and he was not able to escape the perks of last night's pleasures. His muscles are still throbbing since he was the one who was always on the move and controlling the pace. They started lovemaking from morning and ended up doing it again when the night came. They really missed each other.

''Fine, I enjoyed it too,'' Jyuusan admitted. ''Now let go of me Mr. Insatiable. I want a bath. Remember we are both Generals. You're lucky that you do not have soldiers to attend to everyday. You can just call any soldier if you need something since you are the Emperor's personal guard. But I'm sure you have a lot of work to do too. And my soldiers would be waiting for me. I don't want to be late,'' she reminded.

Seiran then let her get out of the bed and watched her naked body in the daylight. He licked his lips. He really cannot have enough of her no matter what.

But a painful memory crossed his mind. Seiran pursed his lips when he recalled that once again, Jyuusan rejected his proposal yesterday. She said again that she would marry him only when she is already carrying his child. He silently prayed that yesterday's intensity would make her pregnant so she could be totally his'. He really wanted her to be the mother of his children and daydreamed of how their family would look like. Jyuusan really had him head over heels. Only her could make him like this.

That day, Jyuusan went to the military looking so beautiful and glowing. But how she looked is exactly the opposite of her energy level. She is still really drained. She glared daggers at Seiran when she saw him so fired up. He looked like he is overflowing with energy. 'How can he be so lively and energetic after yesterday when I'm still feeling sleepy and exhausted here?!'

Seiran turned when he felt someone glaring at him with murderous intent. He smiled sweetly when he saw Jyuusan glaring at him. He was right. She is the source of the bloodlust he felt. He chuckled to himself. He knew Jyuusan would be like this so he came here to assist her since it was his fault that she is drained. He knew her body must be painful.

He walked to her. ''What is it my love?'' he teased and those who heard him stared at them. This is the first time they heard him openly talking sweet to their General. They flinched though when the tip of Jyuusan's sword is instantly pointed at his throat. Seiran lifted his hands in defeat.

''Get the hell out of here! You're an eyesore,'' Jyuusan scolded. The soldiers noticed that she is especially cruel to him today but unlike before, he is not getting annoyed at what she says. He just kept on smiling and laughing; which, they observed only made Jyuusan more annoyed. She is moody today but only when she is talking to Seiran.

''I came here to assist you since I know you are not feeling well,'' Seiran mused. Jyuusan then gave him so many things to do and she became even more annoyed when he finished it all so quickly. Despite how his muscles felt when he woke up, Seiran feels that right now, he could do anything no matter how hard it is. He is really fired-up after having so much of Jyuusan whom he did not sleep with for long. Having her so close to him all day and all night yesterday is like a drug to him.

''How can you be so energetic?!'' Jyuusan exclaimed when he served her some tea. ''Share that energy to me,'' she said since she had been sitting around all day just giving instructions and commands. The military officers are wondering why Gen. Seiran and Gen. Jyuusan did not fight with the sword when Seiran came to the training ground. It was their custom. They always fight so it's unusual that today is one-sided scolding. Seiran is allowing her to boss him around.

''Sure, I'll give you some,'' Seiran said and pretended to kiss her. Both her swords were instantly drawn and positioned at each side of his neck in an 'X' position. He sighed. ''I was just kidding.''

The military officers looked at each other. This is also the first time that Seiran joked like that. They all turned away when Jyuusan looked at their direction.
