Fresh Embers of Love

Chapter 8

The Phoenix Tangyue quietly opened the door of the small thatch-roofed house, and poked his head outside. He looked all around in every direction. There wasn't anyone about.

He exited the small house, and quietly made his way to a jasmine plant that was a bit away from the house. There was a basket hidden in the grass underneath it. He picked it up and carried it inside.

He closed the door behind him and locked it securely, reinstalling the sound barrier he had put up when they first arrived a week ago. He unpacked the basket he had found, putting the food away in the cupboards. In the bottom of the basket was a piece of paper.

Tangyue looked to Nuwa, checking that she was still sleeping soundly in the bed. He pulled out the paper, unfolding it to reveal a cryptic note.

"Tomorrow morning" the note read in sloppy handwriting. It looked like someone had written it with their left hand.

Tangyue looked over at Nuwa again, feeling a pang in his heart. It looked like their little tryst would have to end. He looked down at the note in his hand as it flared up into flame and then smoke. He shook the black ashes out of his hand, brushing his hands together to wipe them clean. Then he made his way over to the bed.

He gazed down adoringly into the beautiful face of his beloved. He hesitated to wake her, but he wanted to have as much time with her as possible. She could sleep all she wanted once they were back in the Heavenly Realm. He licked his lips in anticipation, contemplating the best way to bring her to consciousness.

Carefully removing the blanket from over her body, he slipped his hands underneath her robe, his fingers trailing lightly over the skin of her naked legs. When he reached the apex of her thighs, he slid his fingers in between them, insinuating his forefinger between the folds of her labia.

He watched her face intently as he stroked her there. Her face tensed and she moaned deeply, still asleep. Her lower body moved against his hand. Her eyelids fluttered, as she came closer to consciousness and to orgasm. He moved his finger down a bit, plunging it into her opening, feeling the slickness of it. He backed the finger out and brought it back to the clitoris, using the lubricant her body had provided to stroke it in a smooth circular motion.

Nuwa groaned, arching her body. Her eyes snapped open, not seeing, as her body shuddered against his hand.

"Tangyue!" she panted afterwards, twitching as he continued to stroke her after her orgasm. "Ahhh! It's too much! It's too much!" she complained, pushing his hand away.

"I can never get enough" Tangyue whispered seductively in her ear, leaning over top of her. He placed a kiss on her lips, and then sat back on the bed next to her legs, massaging the upper thigh of the leg closest to him.

Nuwa stretched luxuriously, yawning.

"Why are we up so early?" she complained.

"I need you again" he told her simply.

She looked up at him and nodded, her gaze innocent and trusting. He laid down on his side next to her, leaning over to kiss her deeply, feeling her hand reach behind his neck.

He untied her light robe as he kissed her, pulling it away from her body. Her naked body was a work of art. He ran his hand over it appreciatively. She moaned in enjoyment, her body very responsive to his touch. She had reached the point where she was no longer embarrassed to be naked in front of him. They had spent almost the entire past week without clothing.

She had finally accepted that they were meant to be together, and had thrown herself into the romantic relationship wholeheartedly. Tangyue was reluctant to take her back to the Heavenly Realm, now that he had finally gotten her where he wanted her. He smoothed his hand up and down her torso, rubbing her breasts and then her belly and hips.

He couldn't hold back any longer. He ripped off his robes and rolled over top of her, inserting himself between her legs. Entering her was bliss. He groaned deep in his throat. Nuwa wrapped her legs around his waist, squeezing him, her hips met his at every thrust. Tangyue wanted this to last forever, but perhaps the moment was sweeter because he knew that it must end soon.
