Chapter Eighty - Kneel Before Me

Author's note; There is some sweet Male loving half way through this chapter. Skip to the next chapter if you wish to avoid.

Three weeks after the Guardian was introduced to the people and four weeks after the Council tore up their miswritten declaration, Keung Ai disappeared.  At least, she thought she had and would have, were it not for a trusted individual who tailed her up until the point that she bought a baby from a prostitute from a city in the North of the Empire, not far from the Heartlands border.  The woman was then held at the border, prevented from entering the country with the child until Xiang Ah Liû and Wáng Yu Long came to meet with her.

"Your highness!" She greeted her 'husband' first, but he looked at her with nothing but distain.   "Your highness, I have birthed you a son!"

Lian Guan Ting took the boy from her, despite her attempts to get him back.  "Keung Ai, from this day onward, you are in exile from the Holy Lands and may no longer set foot in our country," the Living God advised her.

"What? You can't do this!  Yu Long, husband, please!" The woman begged, reaching for him, but the Prince simply stepped backward.  "Yu Long, I gave you a son, I should be your wife!  Not him!  He is a man, he cannot give you children!  I am destined to be your wife!"

"Take her away!" Xiang Ah Liû instructed.  The border guards did so, leaving the struggling woman at the foot of the mountain, kicking her when she refused to stay there.  "What do you wish to do with the baby?"

"He belongs with his mother," Yu Long glanced at the squirming infant.  "However, if she truly does not want him, we can find him a home that does."

"To think that she would go to such extremes," Lian Guan Ting murmured as he rocked the baby in his arms.  Keung Ai had not only lied about the night she had spent with Wáng Yu Long, she had fled when it could be proven that she carried no child, could not entice him to bed to get with one and so then had bought one!  The former Concubine Du Xinyi had let it be known that his former husband did not use aphrodisiacs; the large man was too conceited, believing himself gifted in the art of lovemaking!  The drug he had used on Yu Long was one prescribed to help him sleep, his huge weight made his joints ache, which became unbearable at night.  But he had hated the heaviness of mind the drug caused, so did not use it often.  Whether something had truly occurred between woman and man that night, only Keung Ai knew and it was increasingly unlikely.

"There are desperate women everywhere," Yu Long muttered.  Recently, the men had attended the marriage of Emperor Wáng Jie Long and Zhao Zhen Yi, who had been declared Empress.  Their two acknowledged sisters and their husbands had also attended.  First Sister had changed, though she was still large and round, her temperament was softer and there was clear affection between her and the older man who was her husband.  However, it did not stop her from slapping down ambitious girls who tried getting close to the Islands King.  The same ambitious girls had spoken of their own potential path into entering the harem and becoming beloved by the handsome and popular Emperor.  And those same ambitious girls had turned their attentions to the two husbands who clearly had no wives.

In the end, a very not calm Living God had turned to his Guardian, pulled him down by the neck of his robe and kissed him in full view of those girls and their families.  Yu Long had been startled, but enthusiastic in returning the kiss.  It was too much to bear for some women, who had fainted in shock and others, who had stared on and had nosebleeds.  "It seems Second Prince may take after his father in that regard," Minister Wen had mused to himself.  He was very careful not to say this in front of said man nor the Emperor.

After returning to the Winter Temple, the two husbands entered the bedroom suite prepared for them. Yu Long removed the jade hair pin from his hair with a sigh. "It is over," he felt a little lighter of heart and offered a smile to his husband. The smaller man did not smile in return, his eyes narrowed and slightly red.

"Never do such a thing to me again!" He yelled, bitterly. He was done with being calm.

"Forgive me, Ah Liû," Yu Long said, humbly, his head bowed. "I promise to let no other place me in a vulnerable position. That is your right only." He glanced up, only to see his beautiful husband was not yet pacified.

"Prove it to me," he demanded. Yu Long gazed at him, questioningly. "On your knees."

The Prince blinked, a slight smile appeared upon his lips as he gracefully knelt before the man. Xiang Ah Liû stripped his body, divesting himself of both outer and inner robes. His jade stick stood upright and proud in front of Yu Long's face. The Prince did not deny him, taking the hard member into his mouth and running his tongue along its length. He released it gently, licking over the head and down the slit, causing a shudder to travel down the spine of his proud husband. His lips engulfed it once more and slowly he swallowed more of the jade stick until it touched the back of his throat. Tongue and mouth worked in harmony until Ah Liû's knees began to weaken and he could no longer remain passive. His fingers ran through the Prince's hair, grabbing the long black tresses at the root as his hips began to move, pleasuring himself in the wet mouth.

Yu Long's hands ran over the white thighs and followed the curve of his soft rear. Exploring the crevice in between the mounds, his fingers reached the hidden chrysanthemum and slipped inside. Ah Liû could no longer stop the moans that spilled from his lips and the moment Yu Long's fingers brushed over the small treasured heart inside Ah Liû, the man released inside Yu Long's mouth with a cry.

His knees gave way, but Yu Long did not let him fall, instead carrying to their bed and laying him upon it. "I haven't forgiven you yet," Xiang Ah Liû gasped as Yu Long ran his hands down the soft white body.

"Then how else would you like me to prove myself?" Yu Long murmured, the lust heavy in his voice. "Tell me and I will obey."

"Please me," Xiang Ah Liû told him, haughtily.

"How?" Yu Long kissed his cheek, before suckling on his lobe. Ah Liû shivered.

"T-touch me," he gasped, groaning as teeth scrapped over the delicate skin of his ear.

Yu Long paused and smiled wickedly. "You need to be more specific."

"M-my nipples," Ah Liû said finally, a blush beginning to rise over his face.

Slender fingers brushed over the two soft circles. "Here?" A soft moan was all that came in reply. "Would you like my fingers..." he rubbed one small nub until it began to pebble. "Or my tongue?" His licked the other with the tip of the wet muscle.

"Just use both!" Ah Liû cried out desperately.

"As you wish," Yu Long growled and began to minister to his nipples until they were as hard as his reawakened member. Ah Liû cried out his husbands name, the pleasure taking away his other senses so he could do nothing but feel. So he barely heard when Yu Long asked him what else he could do for him.

"Just enter me! Enter me!" He yelled, wrapping his legs around Yu Long's waist and lifting his bottom to rut against his lover's hard stick. Yu Long loosened his clothes and released his throbbing member from its bindings. He lined himself up to the chrysanthemum and pushed inside. Ah Liû enjoyed the 'marital things' so much so that this place was soft and easy to enter, already recognising Yu Long's shape. Ah Liû sighed feeling full as Yu Long filled him completely. He felt the gentle stroking of fingers along his cheek as Yu Long looked down on him, his eyes full of love. Ah Liû smiled, he loved this man, had not been able to stop himself from loving him despite Keung Ai's shadow.

Yu Long's lips moulded to his own as he began to move. Their kiss deepened, even as his thrusts pushed him further inside. Their tongues tangled and fought for dominance for a while, but Ah Liû began to submit as he began to lose himself again to the pleasure Yu Long gave him. Thrust after thrust, Ah Liû began to see stars as his cries filled the room. Yu Long's hands roamed about his body, touching, pinching, stroking as his lips suckled the soft flesh on his neck, bringing Ah Liû to new heights. The smaller man reached his peak first, splashing his seed over their stomachs, but Yu Long was not finished yet.

He tugged the laughing man into his lap, their bodies still connected and wrapped his boneless arms about his neck. Then he grabbed Ah Liû's hips and lifted him slightly off of his stick, before allowing gravity pull Ah Liû down. His lover cried out, as it touched him deeper than before, but he could barely register the sensation before Yu Long lifted him again. He was plundered further, his body unable to cope from the intensity, unconsciously his hole tightened around the jade stick within him, but this did not stop it from impaling him. Just when he thought he could take it no more, Yu Long stiffened and with a low moan, released inside him. He then wrapped his fingers around Ah Liû's member and stroked it a few times helping the man to release for the third time.

Ah Liû fell unconscious after that, so Yu Long quietly cleaned them both up, before grabbing the silk sheets and covering them both as he held his sleeping husband to his sated body.
