Xiao Zai knew the moment Chu Yun's exquisite eyebrows pitched downwards over his humid eyes that he was in trouble.
He was irresistible, and Xiao Zai would go to great lengths to keep him happy. Chu Yun's threat wasn't an empty one, he would leave Xiao Zai wanting if he kept annoying him.
But he couldn't help worrying that being rough with Chu Yun could hurt him, considering his unusual and delicate pregnancy. But seeing as Chu Yun reacted with extreme annoyance to any implication that he was anything but bursting with vitality and strength, Xiao Zai didn't know how to safely bring up the subject.
The rut also reduced him to pure instinct, and his instinct didn't want to waste time talking.
He lowered his lips against Chu Yun's in a vicious, biting kiss. It served the purpose of feeding his bloodlust and distracting Chu Yun from his displeasure.
Like the thaw of the lakes in the spring, Chu Yun melted into the kiss. His hold on Xiao Zai's neck grew languid and sensual, instead of harsh and punishing. Xiao Zai climbed between the cradle of his spread thighs, and Chu Yun made more space for him by hitching his knees higher.
He let our a groan when their sticky erections rubbed together. Chu Yun muffled his moan into the crook of his neck, clinging tightly to Xiao Zai. His sharp teeth dug into the sensitive skin of Xiao Zai's neck, worrying at a spot close to where he had marked him. Xiao Zai got the impression his mark tingled in awareness of Chu Yun's closeness.
Xiao Zai slid one of his hands down Chu Yun's chest, thumbing a nipple on his way down towards his dripping cock. He gripped it tightly, making Chu Yun yelp and rock up into his fist. Xiao Zai drank his pleasure greedily. He loved the sight of Chu Yun overcome with desire.
But Chu Yun was growing impatient. "Are you just going to look at me?" he asked, frowning even as he kept fucking the fist around his cock.
Xiao Zai nuzzled his neck, inhaling his orchid and pine scent deeply. "I love looking at you when you're like this."
The words only made Chu Yun's frown deepen. "Why are you looking so smug for? You're not doing anything worth being smug over," he clung to the back of Xiao Zai's neck, hissing into his lips, "I'm not going to break."
It was a warning as much as a threat. One corner of Chu Yun's lips tugged up in a derisive smirk. "What? Do you think your cock is so big it can hurt me?" He laughed, provocative and teasing, driving Xiao Zai wild with his vicious taunts. "Like a kid who popped his first knot and thinks he's going to have the world's omegas falling at his feet," he scoffed, "pathetic."
The rational part of Xiao Zai's brain knew Chu Yun was running his mouth on purpose to provoke him. Whether Chu Yun realised that or not was a different question. He seemed unable to ask for what he wanted unless he was exhausted, injured, emotionally compromised, or too fucked out to care about being vulnerable.
In the meantime, he teased and mocked like the spoiled brat he grew up as. Because that was easier and more familiar than being honest.
But that was what the rational part of Xiao Zai's mind had to say: the culmination of several hours poring over Chu Yun's character and personality. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of space for rationality during a rut.
The animal part of his brain told him he needed to fuck the viciousness out of Chu Yun. Playing right into Chu Yun's hand.
Xiao Zai tried to hold off and not give Chu Yun the satisfaction, but he wasn't strong enough to resist.
With a growl he tore into Chu Yun's mouth with a vicious kiss and pinned one of his knees to the bed, keeping his legs spread and easily accessible. Chu Yun laughed into his mouth, delighting in his victory.
Xiao Zai rummaged with his free hand under the mattress for the oil he had bought just with this occasion in mind, in eager anticipation of the next time he'd be able to bury himself inside Chu Yun's hot, twitching insides.
He poured nearly half the bottle over Chu Yun's, winking, flushed rim, making him hiss at the coolness of the slick. He spread some over his own cock haphazardly, drunk with lust, nearly salivating at the sight of the oil dripping between Chu Yun's cheeks and into the bed below.
He touched the tip of his cock to the heated rim, and it took barely nothing to bully his way inside. Chu Yun's hole put up only token resistance before opening for Xiao Zai's cock sweetly, much like Chu Yun himself.
Chu Yun muffled a groan against Xiao Zai's shoulder and then bit down with a shout as he fed him all of his cock in one long, tortuous slide. They were both panting by the time Xiao Zai was fully sheathed inside the hot channel.
"There, I gave you what you wanted," Xiao Zai said, whispering the words against Chu Yun's ear, and punctuating them with a snap of his hips.
Chu Yun scoffed even as his knees bracketed Xiao Zai's hips, keeping their bodies close. "What I wanted? As if you're doing me a favour. Fucking me was the highlight of your life."
As always, Chu Yun's arrogant words went straight to Xiao Zai's cock. He loved seeing the high flush of arousal on his cheekbones, the humid film clouding his dark eyes, but above all, he loved the superior curl of his red lips, the haughty tilt of his chin.
Everything about Chu Yun reminded Xiao Zai of what a privilege it was to be allowed between his legs, inside his body.
Which was why he lowered his head to suck a pebbled nipple into his mouth, making Chu Yun squirm and tighten on his cock, and when he let go with a wet 'pop', grinned down at him and hissed, "No, the highlight of my life was getting you pregnant."
