The bathroom was fogged with steam. Long Junhao was already half-naked and the remaining clothes hung disheveled and loosely on his body. Gu Chen easily solved it with a simple tug.

“That…” Now fully naked, Long Junhao lowered his body into the bath. There was a hand around his waist that couldn’t be shaken off no matter how much he struggled. He looked at Gu Chen and felt that this person’s eyes seemed peculiarly deep. They seemed to carry a vague hint of danger, he could easily drown in them if he wasn’t careful. To put it in an analogy, he remembered going hunting with his fellow royal brothers back in his previous life. His bow-wielding eldest brother’s fixated gaze on the tiny rabbit had been just like this. Long Junhao feebly stretched out his hand and waved. “Brave warrior, let’s talk things out properly…”

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and let him go with a smile. The bath was larger than ordinary ones and could fit four adults. Gu Chen watched Long Junhao shrink into the corner before he started to unbutton his own shirt.

Long Junhao gulped. “Why are you taking off your clothes…”

“They’re wet.”

“Oh…” Long Junhao ran out of words to say. He bit his lips as he watched him strip. Gu Chen’s muscles were tight and well-defined, radiating an explosive power, and his tall figure gave off an air of elegance. If he wore robes from ancient times, along with a fan, he would definitely look like a distinguished young nobleman.

Gu Chen removed the last piece of clothing and smiled at Long Junhao. “Close your mouth. Your saliva is flowing all over the place.”

Long Junhao nodded blankly and used his hand to wipe the drool. He suddenly realized that something wasn’t right. If they were to continue on… the innocence they had between them would be gone…

Gu Chen saw his troubled face and stretched out an arm. “Come here.”

Long Junhao hesitated. Temptation or innocence. Which should he choose? He bit his lip and shrunk into the water. “My innocence…”

Gu Chen stared at him playfully, causing Long Junhao to blush to his ears before he finally spoke, “Do you think you can run away today?”

Long Junhao pouted and said weakly, “Actually, I have always thought that I was a bird…”

“Oh,” Gu Chen played along and nodded. “Since when?”

“From when I was a little bird…”

“Mm, anything else?”

“Yes, I am actually also a mermaid…See, I’m in the water now…”

Gu Chen nodded his head and cut Long Junhao off before he could speak again. “Haohao, acting like you are mental is no use against me.”

“…” Long Junhao feebly turned his body to face the wall. “You only know how to bully me…”

Gu Chen smiled as he walked over and pulled Long Junhao into an embrace. The sensation of skin on skin made both of them tremble. Gu Chen exhaled and breathed into Long Junhao’s ear, “You know, on the day I announced we were staying together, your father said something to me before he got in the car.”

Long Junhao turned his head to look at him. “What did that demon say?”

Gu Chen kissed his face and slowly said, “He had probably seen through my intentions a long time ago, possibly even before I was conscious of it myself. He told me that he hoped I would maintain some medical ethics, understand?”

Long Junhao’s eyes lit up. “Then…”

Gu Chen grinned. “But you know, I’m not purely a doctor, so to me, stuff like medical ethics…”

“…” Long Junhao pushed away the arms around him and tried to escape but Gu Chen pressed him into an embrace once more. “Where are you trying to go?”

Long Junhao struggled. “Out, I’m done bathing…” He couldn’t help trembling midway as he said that. Gu Chen lowered his head and kissed Long Junhao’s earlobe. “I advise you not to move around too much…” said Gu Chen, his voice clearly deeper than before.

Long Junhao scoffed, thinking to himself that he was courting death if he didn’t move about. Thus, he continued struggling in his bid for freedom. However, in the next moment, his body stiffened up. “You…you…you…you’re hard…”

“Yes,” Gu Chen answered nonchalantly, his kisses moving down from his earlobe to his neck. “Didn’t I tell you to not move around too much…?”

Long Junhao was indignant. “You wouldn’t be hard if I didn’t move?!”                      

Gu Chen mulled. “Impossible…” He comforted, “This proves that I have feelings towards you. You ought to be happy, or do you wish that I would have zero interest in you?”

The internal fury within Long Junhao was extinguished. Of course he didn’t hope for that.

“The answer goes without saying…” Gu Chen chuckled and moved his head closer, giving Long Junhao a light kiss before parting after a second. The two gazed at each other at a close distance for quite a while. Gu Chen still had the deep look in his eyes as he stared unblinking at Long Junhao, awaiting his decision.

Long Junhao’s heart was racing. He stayed silent for a bit then finally shut his eyes and shoved his head forward. Gu Chen’s eyes dimmed as one of his hands tightly clasped his waist while his other hand rummaged through Long Junhao’s hair, kissing him domineeringly.

Long Junhao opened his mouth only to feel the kiss was exceptionally scorching. It was evidently invasive and the kisses became deeper and deeper. He wasn’t given the chance to breathe, making him cling helplessly against the arm around him.

Some things, once started, cannot be reversed. Gu Chen only felt his breathing get heavier and every single cell in his body getting warm. He deepened the kiss and became more passionate in the intertwining of tongues. His hand gently followed the curvature of Long Junhao’s back downwards before shifting his hand to the thighs and slowly moving it upwards.

Long Junhao couldn’t help moaning. Gu Chen released him from the passionate kiss to let him breathe and furiously attacked Long Junhao’s neck with his lips, leaving traces behind.

Long Junhao was exasperated  “You…” He never imagined that this person who had always been so gentle would actually become this aggressive the moment a layer of clothing was shed. Long Junhao subconsciously thought that he was a wild beast and he felt afraid. However, besides the fear, he had to admit there was a sense of excitement and pleasure which he never experienced before.

Gu Chen kissed his ear and asked in a raspy voice, “I, what?” As he said that, his hand had already slipped towards Long Junhao’s buttocks. Taking advantage of the sleekness of water, he inserted a finger. “…like this?” Gu Chen smiled.

Long Junhao groaned stiffly. “Be more gentle…”

“It hurts?”

“It feels a little strange…” Mist and water were reflected in Long Junhao’s beautiful eyes. He seemed to be deep in thought as he stared at Gu Chen’s face. Gu Chen noticed this and kissed his forehead. “What’s on your mind?”

The finger inside became two and Long Junhao bit his lip as Gu Chen went in for another kiss. The tip of his tongue pried apart his teeth and delved in as the number of fingers inside him increased to three, carefully probing before pulling out. The hand supporting Long Junhao’s waist propped him upwards as he asked, “Tell me, what were you just thinking about?”

“I…I remembered that you said you didn’t like me the first time we met… Then, then now…”

Gu Chen adjusted his posture and bit Long Junhao’s earlobe. “What do you mean by saying that?”

Long Junhao felt that the bottom back part of his body was burning up. His heart shuddered non stop as he stuttered, “If…If you dare play with me…your Prince will castrate you. Drag…drag you out to be raped a hundred times… a hundred times…” As he said that, he raised a shaking finger to show a ‘one’ gesture.

Gu Chen couldn’t help laughing out loud. He pulled the finger to his lips and kissed it. “We will talk after I rape you first…” As he said that, his own fingers slowly went deeper, till it reached the farthermost region. The immense pleasurable sensation made it difficult to breathe. The arm around him tightened as they hugged each other intimately.

Long Junhao raised his head and took deep breaths. Gu Chen remained as still as he could while gently kissing Long Junhao’s neck. He then reached into his depths and rubbed gently. Only when he heard him moan again did his fingers start to move, picking up the pace.

Long Junhao was tightly caught in his arms and had no way of escaping. “Slow…slow down a little…”

Gu Chen’s burning hot lips once again came down on him. “I’ll try… Be good, relax…”

Long Junhao helplessly clambered up his arm and accepted everything given to him. Midway through his vigorous actions, Gu Chen felt Long Junhao’s body shudder. He lowered his gaze and saw Long Junhao’s misty eyes. He couldn’t help but laugh and teased playfully, “Here?” Having said that, he then thrusted at the sensitive spot.

Long Junhao couldn’t even say anything before his unsaid words became moans. He clenched his fist and bit into Gu Chen’s shoulder. What he got in return was an even more intense pounding that felt like an electrical current flowing through his brain. He finally sank down as the sound of panting and splashing water rang in his ears. The overwhelming pleasure caused his sight to become blurry and it made him feel fuzzy. He felt that… this didn’t seem all that bad…
