In his private chamber, Zhao Tian was in the process of changing, his toned upper body exposed as he adjusted the fabric of his undershirt.
The soft rustling of clothes filled the room when a gentle knock on the door drew his attention.
"Tian..."
Opening the door, Yao Jing entered his room and saw Zhao Tian who was the middle of changing his clothes.
Turning to her, Zhao Tian smiled and his gaze drifted to the bag in her hands "What is it, Master?"
Yao Jing walked to him and placed the bag on the table "It is the clothes for your wedding tomorrow."
Oh? Zhao Tian was amused and opened the bag slightly to look at the white and blue royal robes inside it. "Hm, looks good."
Yao Jing looked at his face and smiled before leaning forward and placing a kiss on his lips.
Pulling back from the kiss, her gaze fell on his lips "Then, letās meet at the dinner table."
Zhao Tian nodded his head and she turned to leave.
But before reaching the door, she paused and abruptly turned around, walking to him hastily.
"Tian..."
She wrapped his hands around his neck and pulled him down, taking his lips in another deep kiss.
As she closed her eyes sinking into the kiss, Zhao Tian also reciprocated.
The kiss deepened as their breaths mingled, the room filled with the soft rustle of movement and the faint sound of their lips meeting.
A bit later, she retracted her lips and opened her misty eyes āInstead of making him entranced by me.. I am getting more obsessed over him.ā
"Your tongue... I want it."
Zhao Tian smiled and parted his lips and she immediately leaned in, letting her tongue slide in his mouth as their moist tongues entwined.
They pulled back the kiss a bit but their tongues are still intertwined as she sucked on his tongue, not letting it go.
After getting a good taste of him, she let go of his tongue and sighed into his arms "Tian..."
As she rested her head on his shoulders, Zhao Tian was confused about her antics and hugged her back "What happened, Master?"
Yao Jing let out a quiet sigh of relief, her voice softer now. "Nothing, Tian⦠youāre very close to me, but I still miss you."
"I donāt know... I have a bad premonition that something is about to happen."
Zhao Tianās gaze squinted and he hugged her tighter, "Donāt worry, nothing will happen."
"Mhm..."
...
Lying on the bed, Zhao Tian looked at the ceiling and a soft sigh escaped his lips.
To both of his sides, Li Jia and Yao Jing are sleeping.
He glanced at Yao Jing who was sleeping sideways with her back facing toward him.
Stay connected with empire
"Jerk..."
A murmur broke the silence, drawing his attention to Li Jia on his other side. She was facing him, her delicate brows furrowing in frustration even in the dim light.
"Why is Elder Jing sleeping on the same bed with us?" Li Jia whispered, her voice low but sharp enough to carry her annoyance.
With a chuckle, he slid an arm around her waist, pulling her closer "Donāt mind her, she is close to me after all."
Li Jiaās eyes narrowed, and without warning, she raised her hand and gave him a light bonk on the head. "Idiot," she hissed, her tone mixed in irritation and embarrassment.
"I thought we could have some time alone⦠Maybe even some sex. And now look at this!" She gestured toward Yao Jingās sleeping form with a huff.
Still grinning, Zhao Tian shifted closer to her, his hand beginning to trace gentle patterns on her back. "We can still do itā¦" he mumbled, as his fingers moved to the tie of her night robe.
Li Jia gasped softly as he began to slide the fabric off her shoulders, revealing the smooth contours of her skin and the soft curves of her body.
Her cheeks flushed, both from his touch and the audacity of his suggestion.
"Tianā¦"
He leaned in, brushing his lips against her "Shh⦠Weāll be quiet,"
As his hand slid inside her robe, her body stiffened feeling his palm groping her boob "You.. Horny idiot."
Hearing this, Zhao Tian grinned "Arenāt you then the one who suggested for us to have sex?"
Li Jia blushed and glanced over at Yao Jingās back as she whispered "Idiot, letās go to the couch over there."
"If we do here... Elder Jing might wake up if the bed shakes."
Getting down from the bed, Li Jia quickly removed her clothes and became naked, moving to the couch "Idiot..."
However, Li Jia hesitated a bit and whispered "Tian, letās go to the artifac-"
Zhao Tian grasped her and pinned her down on the couch "No, this is way more exciting..."
W-What?
Li Jia was surprised and before she could respond, Zhao Tian kissed her lips.
...
The morning light filtered through the room and Yao Jing woke up first.
She slowly pushed herself to sit on the bed, brushing her hair back and adjusting her robe.
Her eyes instinctively drifted to the other side of the bed, where Zhao Tian was nestled against Li Jia.
Her eyes darkened as she saw him snuggling against Li Jiaās boobs, his arms draped possessively around her waist.
āThis shameless man,ā she thought, as she glared at him. āHe went and had the audacity to have sex with her in my presencee, and now heās clinging to her like a needy child.ā
Yao Jing huffed, crossing her arms and she couldnāt help but feel annoyed and maybe a hint of jealousy.
Her gaze softened briefly as she saw Li Jia ās sleeping face..
āShe looks happy,ā Yao Jing muttered to herself, though she quickly shook the thought away.
Her focus returned to Zhao Tian, who nuzzled closer to Li Jia with a lazy smile tugging at his lips even in sleep.
āIdiot,ā she fumed inwardly, her cheeks flushing.
āThe next time you come to me to suck my breasts, I swear Iāll make you regret it. You wonāt get to touch me so easily, you shameless fool.ā
Despite her irritation, Yao Jing couldnāt deny the warmth that flickered in her chest as she watched him.
He was infuriating, yes, but he was also the man who had stolen her heart, piece by piece, with his stubborn charm.
Shaking her head to dispel the thoughts, she rose gracefully from the bed, careful not to disturb the sleeping couple.
