"Ah."
Before Bai Chenxiang could let out a cry of surprise, Xiong Shaoqing already wrapped an arm around her slender, willow-like waist and carried her directly into the huge, warm jade bathing barrel.
"Splash."
The warm subterranean spring water instantly washed over both of their bodies.
The sole remaining moon-white silk chemise on Bai Chenxiang was thoroughly soaked, clinging like a transparent second layer of skin tightly against her light and graceful, exquisite figure.
That half-visible, ultimate temptation was even more fatal than being completely naked.
The hot water and the slight chill of late autumn wove together into swirling white mist on the water's surface, yet it fell far short of the rapidly climbing body temperature between the two.
Xiong Shaoqing pressed her against the smooth wall of the warm jade barrel, his broad, large hand sliding slowly down her smooth spine, leaving a trail of shivers in its wake.
The sensitive constitution of the Speed Clan became the most torturous weapon at this moment.
"Young Noble... don't..." Bai Chenxiang's legs grew weak, and she could only powerlessly cling to his broad shoulders.
Her voice had thoroughly taken on a weeping lilt, exceedingly charming.
"Call me Shaoqing."
Xiong Shaoqing lowered his voice into a hoarse murmur, his rough fingerpads gently rubbing against her jade-like, delicate waist, causing the young maiden in his arms to sharply suck in a breath.
"Sha... Shaoqing..." Bai Chenxiang closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling violently, just like a lamb awaiting slaughter, leaving her fate entirely to his large palms wildly sparking fires beneath the water.
"Such a good girl."
Xiong Shaoqing ceased his restraint, lowering his head to capture those two petals of lips already bitten crimson by herself.
This was not a tentative, brief pacification, but a plundering like a fierce storm.
