Her Last Words[Completed]

Chapter 13: An unexpected visitor and forbidden noises

I still remember our promise,

The promise of happiness of a lifetime,

Even the song I wrote for you,

is secretly crying tears.

I still remember our promise,

and I love you more than in the past.

Even the wind is laughing at me,

I think it would tell you,

I love you more now.

Xize released her hands, holding her by her waist to him as he kissed her. Fengjiu was impressed that he was a great kisser and liked how he held her. If only Aranya had not loved Chen Ye, and loved Xize instead, she thought. Then maybe she wouldn't have died. Moonlight shone into the cave from a crack on one of the rock walls, brightening the interior of the cave.

Her body was aching. She recalled how she had felt the same way when she was drugged. But this time, it felt more intense. She held onto Xize tightly and pushed her body hard against his. Xize cupped both her cheeks in his hands. This was followed by him gently stroking her hair. Enjoying his caress, she let out a soft gasp.

She felt the silk ribbon of her dress being undone, and then the feeling of cloth slipping over her shoulders. She knew what was about to happen next, and she let him take advantage of her during their moment of passion. She had wanted it. And then there was the scariest part of it all, that she would be undergoing the pain that she had dreaded.

Donghua had sealed the entrance to the cave with magic. There was no one who could disturb them at this time, not even the fish sprites in the lake. He knew she was nervous over consummating their marriage.

She looked back at his fair complexion, her hands on his smooth skin. Somehow his words seemed to imply that he would not hurt her. And so it happened. She felt a sweetness from his lips, that made her forget any pain that she would have felt as their bodies united that night.

Donghua said to her suddenly, "I'm still jealous."

Pretending to feign ignorance, she asked "Do you mean Chen Ye, or my master? There's nothing between them and I. I am married to you, Xize Shenjun."

"I don't like how Chen Ye put his arms around you today," Donghua said, turning away from her.

"Believe me," Fengjiu said. "It's just an act. I just...need to find out the truth from him on something." She embraced him from the back, causing him to turn around and hold her in his arms to sleep.
