Anciently Forbidden

Chapter 25: Secret passage

Raining tiny kisses was poured at Prince Aiji's face. Both were exhausted, but Vince kept on caressing and kissing his prince's beautiful face. He was too naughty.

"I love you..." 

"Dari, you've said that a hundred times already..." 

Prince Aiji's eyes were tired yet they were glowing. Who wouldn't? He was loved to this extent!

"But, I feel it wasn't enough yet, so please don't get tired of my silliness..." 

"I would never get tired listening to these words from you, even a thousand times." 

"That's my prince... my love..."

People in love are really cheesy. They can utter cringy words with straight faces! 

"My love, does it still hurt?" 

He did it a few times yet he dared to ask. Vince knew he injured his prince, but an intense and fiery desire was hard to control. He can only regret it after.

"Yes, but don't worry, I can bear it..." 

"I'm so sorry..." 

"Dari, I told you many times that it's alright. Yes, it hurts, but I am happy. My heart is filled with happiness right now that I barely feel the pain, so stop worrying..." 

"Okay..."  

The two were glued to each other until dawn broke.

"My love, I want us to stay like this longer, but the elder will be here later. I will fix ourselves, just lie here, Okay?" 

"Mmm..." 

Vince gave him a long and passionate kiss before standing up. He washed outside and dressed first before filling a wooden basin with clean water. He cut a piece of cloth and brought the basin to the bedroom. Seeing him, Prince Aiji sat up.

"Just lie down..."

"No, I will do it myself." 

The shy prince refused and slowly stood up. Vince assisted him. They both looked down at the blood-stained mat on the floor. Both of them were embarrassed.

"What shall we do with this...stained mat?" 

The blushing prince whispered. 

Vince kissed that gentle, embarrassed face.

"I will take care of it." 

Quickly, Vince arranged the mat to a smaller fold. He then coiled and tied it with a vine that he got from his container.

"Dari, what are you going to do with that?" The prince curiously asked while slowly wiping his body with a wet cloth.

"I will bring this mat. It is memorable, valuable, and historic to both of us."

How cringy? Too cringy! But it brought a wonderful smile to the gentle prince.

"My love, do you know that this is the vine that bound us during the flash flood." 

Vince was done with the mat and stood opposite the prince. 

Prince Aiji was delighted. "You kept it?" 

"Yes, it is memorable too. It's the first thing that has bound us together since I woke up." 

"Dari, I love you..."
