Silver and jet black tresses danced harmoniously in the water as Bai Qingyue's human form filled the narrow bathtub, his long legs tangling with Li Meirong's in the tight space.
When he shapeshifted, the garments he had worn prior to having turned into a fox had rematerialized on his body. Now, he too had soaking wet clothes clinging to his broad shoulders.
He allowed his hands to wander, one slithered around her waist and the other gently grasped the back of her neck and in a smooth motion, pulled her onto his lap, leaning her backwards onto his muscular chest. Her small, soft body practically enveloped by his.
With the lingering mist from Bai Qingyue's transformation and the position they were currently in, any onlooker could have mistaken them for a romantic painting of two fairies lying amorously in each other's embrace.
Bai Qingyue nestled his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her succulent scent like the addictive drug that it was to him.
His wide palm, now resting firmly on her stomach, radiated a bright warm light as he transferred his energy into her, replenishing her drained life force.
As he did this, he tilted his head until the breath passing through his slightly parted lips ghosted along her skin, making her shudder but not with discomfort.
Then, his tongue flicked against her flesh. Stealing a taste of her sweetness, his glowing Phoenix eyes heated with desire.
He relished the sensation filling his taste buds and, unable to resist any longer, clamped his mouth shut on the side of her throat, gently suckling on her flesh.
Even in her unconscious state, a sudden moan escaped Li Meirong's luscious lips, as though she could still feel every sensation. The seductive sound of her voice only increased his craving for more, making him feel unbearably hot.
With his mouth firmly latched on, he trailed his tongue across her skin in a circular motion, eliciting another sweet response from his sleeping wife.
This was a special type of torture, the kind in which he found himself enjoying and suffering from all at once.
Bai Qingyue let out a low, dissatisfied grunt as he struggled to contain himself. He could already feel himself hardening just from the smallest taste of her. The cloth covering his crotch was barely restraining his growing erection. Adjusting himself to more comfortably accommodate his throbbing shaft, he moved the garment aside and groaned with relief when he felt his aching part squeezed between the plump cheeks of her backside.
His silver hair spilled around both of them like a curtain, concealing this intimate moment.
Sensing her energy restored and knowing she was now merely asleep, Bai Qingyue chose to gratify them both and continue, feeling righteous.
She was, after all, the one who had offered herself to him first!
Grasping her small chin with his fingers, he tilted her head to the side for a better angle.
The sound of Li Meirong's gasp delighted Bai Qingyue as he incessantly continued licking and suckling on the sensitive part of her throat.
With his mouth fully occupied, he allowed his hands to travel lovingly to her milky breasts, tickling her soft, sensuous skin along the way.
Enjoying the feeling of the warm supple softness, he massaged them vigorously. Li Meirong's nipples were already puckered from the cold wetness of the fabric clinging to her skin, but adding to that his loving manipulation of her ample mounds, the sensitive rosy peaks began to harden into tight beads. His slender fingers brushed across them and made her let out a pleasurable whimper, shivering helplessly in his arms.
"...mmm so good." Li Meirong's barely audible murmur didn't escape Bai Qingyue's exceptional hearing.
A gush of masculine pride erupted inside him. With a smug smirk plastered across his face, he proceeded to tease and pinch the aching buds, making the still unconscious Li Meirong's cheeks redden and her breath quicken.
It may not have been the right time to complete the act, once again, however, that didn't mean he couldn't have some sort of payback! Bai Qingyue already had a growing list of grievances demanding reparation from his unruly wife!
The thoughts brewing in the back of his mind resurfaced. Li Meirong's agreement to try and engage him to another in addition to all of her impudent remarks caused him to unconsciously tighten his hold on her nipples in anger, pulling at them hard.
How dare she try to marry him off!
The sudden jolt to her nerves made her legs clench together as she cried out.
Bai Qingyue paused his punishing hands and unclasped his hungry mouth from her neck. Her constant reaction to his actions made him wonder if in her current state she would be able to answer the questions plaguing his mind.
His curious pondering allowed Li Meirong's taut nerves a much needed moment to relax.
"Li Meirong." Bai Qingyue's low voice huskily whispered her name, leaving a series of small kisses on one side of her cheek as he did so.
"Mmm.."
Seeing that he managed to elicit a reply, Bai Qingyue shamelessly interrogated her.
"Do you love Snowball?"
"Mmm…"
"Do you love Zhu Qingyue?" He brazenly asked, using the alias his father ordained him with.
"Qingyue...is..." She began mumbling the name but Bai Qingyue already grew excited of hearing her call for him.
Really call him, not the animal he pretended to be.
The silence lingered.
Impatiently, the Sovereign Lord asked again.
"Well, what do you think of him?"
"Is…"
Bai Qingyue heard his own heartbeat drumming in his ears as the moment stretched on.
Li Meirong breathed out the word, yet it was just loud enough for him to hear.
"...a bastard."
