Gu Lin's Tenderness

Although it was not his first time, Lin Su still felt somewhat nervous.

He stood in the entryway changing out of his shoes. Just as he was about to leave, the door behind him opened.

He finished the call so quickly? Then next, wouldn't it be...

The darkness in Gu Lin's eyes startled Lin Su. His nervous fingers trembled unconsciously, his palms damp with sweat. He instinctively took a step back, trying hard to control his emotions, but his heart raced wildly like a startled deer.

Gu Lin had already walked up to him. His gaze gradually turned scorching as he stared fixedly at him. In that instant, Lin Su saw a churning darkness in Gu Lin's eyes, surging like a tide, as though it would swallow him whole the next second.

Hot breaths spilled across his face. He turned slightly, wanting to dodge, but Gu Lin's palm cradled his face. That scorching hand imprisoned his cheek, leaving him nowhere to escape.

The man's breathing was heavy and rushed. Lin Su nervously held his breath, swallowing and licking his lips without thinking.

Uh, this is bad!

To Lin Su, it had merely been an instinctive movement, but in Gu Lin's eyes, it looked entirely different.

Should I explain this... Would Gu Lin think I'm too...

Just as Lin Su lifted his eyes, thin lips pressed down on his. The desire in those dark eyes was laid bare before him. A pair of large hands wrapped around his waist and tightened slightly, pulling Lin Su closer into Gu Lin's embrace.

Unlike the kiss in the garden, Gu Lin used far more force this time, holding him tightly in his arms. His fierce possessiveness seemed intent on crushing Lin Su apart. He kissed him heavily and relentlessly, never once releasing those red lips.

Gu Lin's hand moved upward and pressed against the back of his head. They clung to each other in a close kiss, without even the slightest gap between them.

Lin Su responded softly. Compared to Gu Lin's burning passion, his movements were small and inconspicuous, yet they were enough to stir ripples in Gu Lin's heart. Suddenly, he felt Gu Lin's forcefulness gradually turn into gentle, lingering suckling, while his heavy breaths also eased.

At that moment, he felt as though he were deep beneath the sea, suffocating and powerless as he kept sinking, until the rush of oxygen made his body instinctively crave even more air.

He lightly patted the man's shoulder and pulled away from the scorching kiss, exhaling softly. "Gu Lin, stop kissing me."

"Okay." Gu Lin's low, hoarse voice was thick with emotion. He held Lin Su in his arms, staring at his flushed earlobes, so vividly lovely.

Lin Su gripped the corner of Gu Lin's clothes with both hands and leaned against his broad shoulder, adjusting his breathing. A low, husky laugh sounded beside his ear, and Lin Su's body suddenly tensed.

That's so unfair. Who laughs like that?

Why does my neck feel so uncomfortable? Could it be... my susceptible period is here?

He rubbed his neck uncomfortably and instinctively raised a hand to scratch it, only for Gu Lin to seize his wrist.

"Don't scratch. It'll hurt." Gu Lin's voice was gentle and low, making Lin Su's ears tingle.

"Same room as before?"

Gu Lin's voice was low. Once Lin Su understood what he meant, his face instantly turned bright red.

Does Gu Lin have some kind of fetish?

Last time in the study, too...

It would have been better not to think about the study. The moment he did, details from those two days flooded his mind, making him a little afraid of the study now.

Gu Lin knew exactly what he was thinking. The study really had not been bad. Thinking of those two days, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his dark eyes gradually deepened.

Lin Su looked away and gave a light cough. "Your room."

Gu Lin's room has that, um... We should take precautions, right?

Gu Lin took his hand and led him upstairs step by step. The short walk felt especially difficult.

Sleeping together during the courting stage... isn't that too easy?

They say people don't cherish things that come too easily. Um, but if I count it up, it's already been four or five times with Gu Lin?

Maybe I should just endure it. They say susceptible periods pass easily enough, so there's no need to...

As he thought that, Lin Su failed to notice that Gu Lin had quickened his pace.

Bang. The bedroom door shut.

Gu Lin turned and lifted him into his arms. After all, Lin Su was a man and had some weight to him, but although he was tall, his frame was small and slender. Gu Lin could easily bear that weight.

Caught off guard by the bridal carry, Lin Su let out a cry and instinctively wrapped his arms around Gu Lin's neck.

"Gu Lin, what are you doing?"

The distance from the door to the bed is so short. We could get there in two steps. Is he afraid I'll run away?

Gu Lin answered in his heart that he really was afraid Lin Su would run away.

But he said, "I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable."

Afraid Lin Su would become suspicious, he added, "Your body may feel a little unwell during your susceptible period."

I don't feel uncomfortable at all, aside from the back of my neck being a little itchy.

It feels much better than my heat period. Maybe...

"Then let's begin." Gu Lin hurriedly cut him off. As he spoke, he set Lin Su down beside the bed, his long fingers already reaching to undo Lin Su's tie.

Did he have to say it so formally?

Why does Gu Lin seem so anxious? Could it be...

Gu Lin paused as he unbuttoned Lin Su's shirt, wondering if Lin Su had noticed something.

Could it be... he has work this afternoon and wants to get this over with quickly?

"Cough, cough, cough..." He truly had not expected Assistant Lin's train of thought to be so unusual.
