The Emperor Chases His Wife

Chapter XXVIII

CHAPTER XXVIII: Journey to Kulun Ridge (2)

He wasn't dressed in his usual princely robes. Instead he was dressed in a simple dark blue robe whose material was smooth like water, without a single speck of dirt in view.

His long black hair was held up with a simple but elegant hair pin and left to hang down his back. Some of his hair strands were left lose to form a fringe which slightly covered his grey eyes and his handsome face was like an immortal from a painting.

He looked like an elegant and noble Young Master. His cold aura was like the lonely moon, like ice, like snow, bringing awe but fear into people's hearts!

Liuyun put down the chess piece in his hand and turned to her with a hypnotic smile. He beckoned her over with a slender finger. "Come here."

His words were unhurried and careless but held a kind of strength that couldn't be ignored. Although Nian hated the fact that he sometimes ordered her around like a subject, which she was but that wasn't the point, she didn't put up a fight with him and bravely took a step towards the tiger.

Liuyun crooked his finger and a air current formed under her foot, propelling her into the air and towards Liuyun. Before she could understand what was happening, Nian found herself in Liuyun's arms and in his lap!

"Liuyun behave yourself." She clicked her tongue in disapproval. "There is enough space for both of us to sit."

"But what if you fall off?"

"I'll hold on tight."

"What if it's not tight enough?"

"Liuyun! Stop being childish. Let me go this instant!"

A muffled laugh escaped Liuyun's lips. "What if I don't want to let you go?"

"Must you always have your way?"

"If I don't, then what's the point in being a prince."

"I don't have that much spare time to entertain you." Nian rolled her eyes and folded her arms. "You have everything you want. What more do you need?"

"I have everything except the most obstinate woman I've ever come across." Liuyun's arms went fishing, and lacking any warning sign, he turned Nian around so that her legs were on either side of him.

Liuyun lowered his head, his handsome face, like white jade with exquisite luster, was slowly getting closer... centimeter by centimeter. His grey eyes swirled with demonic charm as he whispered in her sensitive earlobes. "I have everything except you."

Nian felt a shiver run down her spine from his hot breath and her cheeks started to turn a little red. "Liuyun, behave!"

She tried to push him away with one shove.

But Liuyun's hands were strong and powerful and he tightly imprisoned her near his chest, his thumb gently caressing her lips; like a lipstick gentle and smooth, contouring the shape of her lips.

Nian wanted to resist, but she soon discovered that she was helpless in his grasp.

Suddenly...

Liuyun's slender and fair fingers tangled themselves into her hair and he leaned forward, claiming her soft lips in a searing, hot kiss. His tongue, although soft was heated to her senses and strong, quickly dominating her and taking control. It sharply entered to explore the inside of her mouth and closely chased after her tongue.

Annoyingly persistent.

Nian felt her head spin in dizziness at how intensely he was kissing her. Since the beginning, she had been resisting. But he secured her hands behind her back and pressed an invisible force on her, her entire body became weak and limp, unable to move.

This kiss was full of burning lust and honeyed desires.

It was explosive and hot but teetering on the dangerous edge of self control.

Perhaps it was due to a body's instinctive chemical response; or maybe it was because of his superb skill. Whatever the cause, Nian's stiff body softened and she began to kiss him back, her head swimming and a heat she never felt before starting to build up in her body.

Currently, Nian's brain activity had flat lined.

All the reasons why Liuyun wouldn't want someone like her escaped her mind...the pain that tore at her heart disappeared...she couldn't think of anything else but him in the moment. All rational thoughts had fled, and her body slavishly listened to the commanding kiss and willed her body to obey.

Liuyun gently bit her lips before pulling away, his lips a dark shade of pink, moist and swollen. His grey eyes were almost black under the haze and while he looked cam and composed, his eyes did nothing to hide his desire.

"Say you want me." His voice was husky and heavy with unadulterated passion. "Say it...and this king will send someone else to Kulun Ridge for the Green Fire Deer. This king will stay behind and tend to all your needs. Say it...say you want this king."

Nian felt her cheeks heat up at what he was implying. Somewhere in the haze of her confusing feelings, she realized she was stepping into unknown territory and subconsciously she reached out a hand to push him away.

Liuyun seemed to have read her thoughts and a devilishly gleam crossed his blood red lips. He flicked his tongue out and gently licked them, all the while never breaking eye contact with Nian.

Both of his eyes resembled a blazing ball of fire, wantonly setting every part of her body aflame. Where ever his gaze landed, Nian felt like she was being scorched. It felt like Liuyun was seeing right through her clothes, staring at her naked body. And the thought of that did something to her she couldn't explain.

Her temperature increased little by little until it her entire body felt like it was on fire. She felt hot, and bothered, and a persistent pressure started to build in a place she didn't even know could come alive. The feelings overwhelmed her and just as Liuyun leaned forward to capture her lips in another heated kiss, she panicked. Subconsciously, she abruptly used all her strength to push Liuyun away.

Whew....anyone else hot in here?
