Chapter 82 - The Fox Is Cosseted

It took a long while for Chu Yun to get his breathing under control. He couldn't remember the last time sex left him this winded. 

Xiao Zai was a comfortable weight on top of him, and the satisfaction of having marked him pacified Chu Yun's fox, finally giving him some respite from the unbearable fire of the rut.

Xiao Zai was laving his neck with soft, wet kisses, letting out satisfied, low rumbles from the back of his throat as he kissed his skin, all the while still coming inside of him.

The overwhelming fullness of all the cum filling him up made Chu Yun squirm, but there was nothing he could do about it until Xiao Zai's knot went down. Something that would take some time as long as the knot was lodged inside someone, and not just clutched in a fist that could let go at any time.

The best thing Chu Yun could do was get comfortable and wait it out. With a sigh he pulled the comforter he had kicked off earlier over the two of them and settled back down, Xiao Zai still draped over him -- his own kind of blanket.

Xiao Zai cupped the back of Chu Yun's neck and kept kissing every sliver of skin he could reach. Eventually, Chu Yun grew tired of this needy behaviour and pulled on his hair in warning.

"Can you stop?" he glared at Xiao Zai, whose eyes were still clouded by lust, probably because he was still cumming inside Chu Yun. The bastard. "I want to sleep."

Undeterred, Xiao Zai kept nuzzling him. "I want to do that everyday."

Chu Yun snorted, pulling on Xiao Zai's hair again. "In your dreams. I'm writing it off as rut induced madness and morbid curiosity. We'll never talk about it again."

Xiao Zai's expression immediately fell. The disappointed look made him look younger. Almost tugging at the heartstrings Chu Yun swore he didn't have.

"It wasn't good for you?"

Chu Yun huffed and looked away from him, turning his face sideways on the pillow. What did that have to do with anything? The aftermath left Chu Yun feeling conflicted, regardless of how much he enjoyed the moment. 

Did this change anything for him? Was he weird for having liked it?

Meanwhile, Xiao Zai's crestfallen expression kept hovering on the periphery of his gaze. Chu Yun sighed, and pulled him into a bruising, messy kiss. His split lips reopened anew, filling Chu Yun's mouth with the now familiar taste of his blood.

"Stop whining, next time I'm fucking you."

Xiao Zai chuckled, hiding the sound into the crook of Chu Yun's neck. "I already let you mark me, what makes you think I'd have a problem with that?"

Chu Yun went still. The reminder that he'd marked Xiao Zai filled him with a sort of glowing pride. He ran his fingers over the raw open wound on Xiao Zai's nape. It would leave a scar from the side of his neck all the way around to his nape, over the scent glands there.

Depending on what kind of robes he wore, everyone would be able to see it. That too filled Chu Yun with smug satisfaction, although it was best if they kept it hidden, for now. Chu Yun knew it was there, and that was all that mattered to him.

"I really made a mess out of you, didn't I?" Chu Yun said, speaking softly into the quiet room, still tracing the mark gently.

Xiao Zai hummed his assent and adjusted the angle of his hips, making all the cum inside Chu Yun jostle, and him hiss at the sudden flare of heat that climbed up his spine.

"Almost as much of a mess as I made of you."

Chu Yun pulled on Xiao Zai's earlobe, wishing one of his fans was within reach so he could smack him upside the head with it. "Bad dog! Bad dog!"

Xiao Zai chuckled, and did his best to placate Chu Yun with kisses, which only half-worked. He had finally calmed down from the vicious provocation, when Xiao Zai decided to test his luck once again.

He ran his palm from the sharp jut of Chu Yun's hipbone all the way across his clearly distended stomach. Chu Yun tensed in angry anticipation of whatever aggravating bullshit Xiao Zai was about to say.

"There's enough here for at least twins, maybe triplets."

Chu Yun cursed the knot that kept them tied together. He glared at Xiao Zai and wrapped himself around his body like an octopus. He took advantage of Xiao Zai's laughter to sink his teeth into the fresh bond mark again. His fox purred in contentment the moment his mouth filled with fresh blood.

He could fell Xiao Zai's wolf ears brush against the side of his cheek, and his tail wag against his arm, while he nuzzled into Chu Yun's neck and let himself be bitten.

The next morning Chu Yun woke up alone in bed.

The sheets were a sticky mess below him, and he was scared to even look at the state of his thighs. His lips curled up in disgust while peeling the sheets off of himself. He tried to get up from the wet sheets, but a sharp stab of pain shot up his waist, making him reconsider.

He couldn't believe Xiao Zai had just up and left. Chu Yun was going to kill him.

Right at that moment, the doors opened and Xiao Zai walked inside, carrying two pails of steaming water balanced on a stick across his shoulders.

"Oh, you're up," he said, shooting Chu Yun a smile while lowering the pails next to a wooden tub Chu Yun was just now noticing.

Chu Yun sat up on the bed and shot him a suspicious look "What are you doing?"

"Drawing you a bath." He waved in Chu Yun's direction with a smug smirk. "It's the least I could do after making you sleep on my-"

Chu Yun threw a pillow at his head before he could finish that sentence.
