I felt Yizong tense beneath me, his shock visible as he struggled against the desire I knew was there, lurking just beneath the surface. But I was relentless. pushing forward, claiming his mouth with a boldness that surprised even me. I felt him tremble, a quiet moan escaping him. muffled between our joined lips.

The spark between us ignited, an electrifying jolt that left us both breathless. His voice. steady and calm despite everything, called out. "Xin Yi." I hesitated, startled by the name that slipped from his lips, a reminder that even now, she was still on his mind.

I knew then that I had crossed a line-one that could never be undone. But the truth was. I didn't care. I wanted Yizong, and I was determined to have him, no matter the cost.

With that I let my clothes slip away, baring my skin to his hesitant touch. I wanted him to explore me, to let go of the restraint that held him back. As our kiss deepened. I could feel the conflict within him. He tried to resist even as my fingers, greedy for more , raked across his flushed skin. Yet with each touch I felt his defenses crumbling, his will weakening until until he began to comply, almost as if he were unsure of his own actions.

But I knew what I wanted. And I would stop at nothing to make him want it, too.
