Mo Yuan, Bai Qian, Ye Hua

Part 16

On her arrival, Bai Qian was met by her seniors and Mo Yuan.  Still weak and unable to stand freely, Die Feng placed her carefully into Mo Yuans arms and her arms immediately wrapped themselves around his neck as she lay her head against his shoulder.  Looking up, she smiled.   "Shifu.  I'm home."  her sweet smile that Mo Yuan loved so much tore at his heart as he forced himself not to kiss her in front of her seniors.  

"You're late." he smiled down at her as his instructions to return in 3 days came back to her, causing her to giggle lightly.  

Quickly he took her to his own chamber where he lay her down and checked her over.  She would still need considerable care, her heart had weakened, but was stronger than it was when he had left her, and her strength would return with a high protein diet and an exercise routine he had already devised for her.  One of which, he was sure she would enjoy very much he thought to himself smiling.

"Mo Yuan." it was the first time she had ever addressed him by his given name she had to say it again,  "Mo Yuan."  Smiling down at her with the softest eyes she had ever seen, he kissed her forehead lightly.  

"Thank you." she whispered up at him before pulling him down to kiss his lips.  Mo Yuan knew he would not be able to hold back if the kiss lasted too long, his need for her was throbbing as he once again tasted her soft sweet lips causing him to moan loudly as he restrained himself from taking her completely, which was difficult as the cleavage of her soft full breasts was visible above the low cut gown she was wearing.

Forcing himself to break the kiss he desperately wanted to last forever, he looked down at her. "Qian Qian, you're still weak, we will have an eternity of love, but right now, I need to tend to your immediate needs."  He told her firmly while trying to ignore her heaving breasts and soft pouty lips which a knowing smile was slowly creeping across.

Grabbing his hand before he could rise, she looked up at him with her big doe eyes pointing to her lips "Mo Yuan, my immediate needs are right here" she giggled up at him, forcing him to lay soft kisses all over her face before taking her lips in a long tender kiss.

Stroking her face lightly, he told her to rest.  They could continue later, but right now, having fully checked her over, he needed to organize her medication as he moved to his low table to prepare the scripts for Zhi Lan, leaving her alone with her thoughts as she watched him.

But as she watched him leaning over his scrolls, the memory of Ye Hua sitting at the low table writing came back to her.  His face, his tender care, his loving caresses and his face that she knew she saw, were not figments of her imagination, they were real.  He did love her, he showed it in the way he cared for her, gently and tenderly.  And as she thought of him, his kisses came back to her.  They were sweet gentle and loving.  Was she falling for him she wondered as she watched Mo Yuan, slowly changing into Ye Hua and back to Mo Yuan.  

No.  Im not.  I love Mo Yuan she told herself forcefully.

She understood why Ye Hua had sent Mo Yuan away, and she knew the consequences Mo Yuans actions would bring not only for himself, but Kunlun Mountain and Qing Qiu.  She knew too, that it wasn't really Ye Huas fault she had been hurt, the blame was solely hers.  Her temper at the East Sea Palace was where it had started and what caused every subsequent event that followed and she needed to fix it somehow.  

Rising slowly she sat on the edge of the bed and tried to stand, instantly falling forward to the hard stone floor, the pain from her fall immediately sending waves of nausea through her whole body as the pain rippled through every muscle causing her to cry out and take on her fox form to ease it.

It was the first time Mo Yuan had seen her in her fox form, but he raced to her and gently picked her up, cradling her to his body as he rushed her to the infirmary issuing Zhi Lan the order to fetch Chang Song immediately.
