Forced Kiss

"Bastard! Let go of me!" Bai Jin finally came to his senses. Furious and embarrassed, he struggled desperately. Perhaps because they were pressed so close together, the shame felt even more unbearable.

This time, Bai Jin's voice was much louder than before.

Lu Chengze found it even more pleasing to hear.

Lu Chengze looked down at the youngster writhing in his arms. His eyes darkened, and an itch stirred faintly in his heart.

Bai Jin's fair, tender cheeks had flushed with two patches of red from anger and the heat of the water. Knowing he could not break free, he gave up resisting and glared up at him. "No matter what, I'm your lifesaver. You can't repay kindness with enmity and take advantage of me like some hooligan."

Bai Jin had thought Lu Chengze would at least feel embarrassed after hearing that. Instead, the next moment, the man abruptly seized his proud chin and kissed him.

Their lips met. The man's cool yet scorching breath swept over Bai Jin like a tidal wave, with such force it seemed as though he wanted to devour him whole.

Bai Jin did not come back to his senses until even his tongue hurt from the kiss.

He braced both hands against Lu Chengze's body and pushed hard. Beneath his palms, aside from the warm water, there was only the man's overwhelming masculine presence.

Lu Chengze was tall and powerfully built, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted. Years of military training had sculpted every line of muscle on his body to perfection.

Especially from the front, the perfect lines ran down from his firm, broad chest... Even without a stitch of clothing on, the man was more than enough to draw Bai Jin's gaze.

Bai Jin forced himself to stay clear-headed. He could not let himself be swallowed up by such an overpowering masculine presence. "Mmph... you... let me go!"

But Lu Chengze remained unmoved. If anything, he kissed him even more deeply.

A sharp glint flashed through Bai Jin's eyes. He raised his foot and, without hesitation, kicked toward the man's most vulnerable spot.

But no matter how fast he moved, Lu Chengze intercepted him halfway.

Lu Chengze's gaze was cold, but his tone remained rather gentle. "Little one, that's a vicious move."

Fortunately, after Bai Jin made such a fuss, Lu Chengze finally released him.

The instant Bai Jin regained his freedom, he quickly retreated into a corner by the wall. Turning sideways, he used both hands to shield himself and bit his swollen, reddened lips, trying to keep his body from trembling in fear and panic.

But when he spoke again, there was already a faint sob in his voice. "What exactly do you want?"

"I wanted to ask you to help me bathe. I told you that." Lu Chengze smiled kindly, but his gaze was utterly brazen as it swept back and forth over Bai Jin's side profile and curves.

Afraid that he might truly scare him too badly, Lu Chengze chose to take a step back. He sat on the edge of the bathtub, displaying himself like a peacock spreading its tail.

Feeling Lu Chengze's ill-intentioned stare, Bai Jin's face reddened again.

"..."

Damn it! Just because you were fierce, you thought you were right...

Pah, pah, pah!

They were both men. Other than differences in size, neither of them was nobler than the other.

"Come here, little one." Lu Chengze leaned back, exposing the entire front of his body to Bai Jin's eyes, especially the wound around his waist and abdomen, which was the most conspicuous.

Knowing there was no way he could escape this, Bai Jin declared indignantly, "I've never bathed anyone before!"

"Just hold the showerhead for me. I can do the rest myself." Lu Chengze's tone was teasing.

Even as innocent as Bai Jin was, he immediately understood Lu Chengze's blunt, flirtatious implication.

Knowing that if he did not help this man bathe today, he would never get out of this bathroom, Bai Jin hesitantly moved his feet. Under Lu Chengze's burning stare, he picked up the towel that had been casually tossed into the tub earlier, wrapped it around himself, and walked over.

Although Lu Chengze's gaze was so scorching that, even through Bai Jin's soaked towel, he could see straight to the essence of things, it was better than nothing. At least Bai Jin was no longer completely naked.

Resigned, Bai Jin picked up the showerhead and moved closer to Lu Chengze. He casually tossed him a bottle of the body wash he used. "Put on the body wash yourself first."

Lu Chengze was quite cooperative. He squeezed out two pumps and spread it over his entire body, not missing a single corner.

Then he spread his arms, waiting like an old master for Bai Jin to rinse him off.

Bai Jin hesitated, then stepped closer to Lu Chengze again. Keeping an arm's length away, he let the stream of water wash over the man's body.

The body wash foam was quickly rinsed away. Just as Bai Jin was about to pull back, Lu Chengze grabbed the arm holding the showerhead and tugged him into his embrace, then precisely locked him in place.

Caught completely off guard, Bai Jin fell into Lu Chengze's arms again, his butt landing squarely on Lu Chengze's thigh.

If he had been just a little farther over...

Fortunately, this time, the showerhead still ran between their bodies, water splashing everywhere and easing some of the awkwardness.

Bai Jin: "..."

But in that position, it inevitably made things convenient for a certain shameless rogue.

Lu Chengze looked at Bai Jin, who was right in front of him, grabbed his chin, and lowered his head to forcefully kiss his lips again without giving him any say in the matter.

This time, Bai Jin reacted faster than he had during the first forced kiss. He clenched his teeth tightly, determined not to let this man have his way.

But Lu Chengze ruthlessly pressed him into his arms. Bai Jin felt the air in his chest being squeezed out, his breathing catching as he instinctively opened his mouth.

Then Lu Chengze took the opportunity to pry open his teeth and invade deeply, greedily and urgently drawing in his scent until Bai Jin's tongue went numb.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Chengze tossed aside the showerhead Bai Jin had been clutching tightly to his chest. With one arm, he picked Bai Jin up, turned off the water, pulled away his soaked towel, and took a clean one to dry the dazed youngster first.

Bai Jin seized the chance to push Lu Chengze away and ran off at once.

Lu Chengze shook his head with an amused smile. He casually dried himself with the towel he had used on Bai Jin, then strode out of the bathroom.

As though he were in his own home, he familiarly walked to the bedroom wardrobe, picked out a loose casual outfit, and put it on. The hem and pant legs were a little short, but it was loose enough to fit him passably.

Lu Chengze walked elegantly to the bedside and looked down at Bai Jin, who was curled up beneath the blanket. Satisfaction filled his eyes as he saw that even Bai Jin's neck had turned red with embarrassment. He comforted him, "Little one, we're both men. Don't be so shy..."

"Shut up!" With his dignity as a man at stake, Bai Jin finally could not endure it any longer. He grabbed a pillow and lunged fiercely at Lu Chengze.
