Chapter 40

The hand he had on the doorknob slipped around Shen Yi's lower back. "You won't listen. That's interesting too."

Shen Yi said, "Aren't you afraid Fu Cheng will find out?"

He meant that Fu Yuhe had come to see him in private.

Fu Yuhe chuckled. "Find out what? That you secretly seduced his older brother behind his back?"

Shen Yi understood. Fu Yuhe could just as easily twist the facts surrounding the reason Shen Yi had threatened him on the night of his birthday.

"I warned you." Fu Yuhe moved his hand from the back of Shen Yi's neck to the side of his face, pressing his thumb against his lips. "I'm not someone you can toy with as you please. Why wouldn't you listen?"

"Brother Fu-"

The finger pressing against his lips bore down, touching his lips and teeth.

Shen Yi said, "..."

He changed his form of address. "Brother, what do you want?"

"When you touch someone you shouldn't, of course you have to pay the price." Fu Yuhe's tone was dangerous. "Wouldn't you agree?"

Shen Yi said, "Then what is this 'price'?"

Fu Yuhe's lips curled slightly. He seized Shen Yi by the collar and suddenly kissed him. Shen Yi froze for a moment, an odd look on his face.

This is... the price?

But unexpectedly, his heart, which had felt as though it had been clogged with cotton these past few days, cleared.

His hand, hanging by his leg, curled slightly. Then he raised it to hold Fu Yuhe's waist, the tip of his tongue brushing the seam of Fu Yuhe's lips like a feather. His response made Fu Yuhe pause for a moment, followed by an assault as fierce as a storm.

Shen Yi met strength with strength. His tender probing vanished, and his movements grew more uninhibited as he locked his lips and tongue with Fu Yuhe's.

Their ragged breaths were indistinguishable, equally scorching. In the quiet room, the suggestive wet sounds of their kiss seemed magnified in their ears.

Even the sound of the schoolbag falling to the floor was drowned out. Shen Yi felt his heart beginning to race as it had during their first kiss, that thrill surging through him again and again like waves.

Fu Yuhe sensed something was wrong. Shen Yi's reaction wasn't right.

Fu Yuhe had imagined Shen Yi might struggle, curse him out, or panic, but none of that happened. Not only did Shen Yi respond enthusiastically, he was a little too enthusiastic.

Under Shen Yi's scorching advances, Fu Yuhe was driven back at every turn, his breathing heavy and erratic. Before the thoughts in his head could form a clear train of logic, Shen Yi's presence scattered them.

After several minutes, Shen Yi let him go. Both their lips were much redder. Fu Yuhe half leaned against Shen Yi, bracing an elbow against the door and resting his lowered head on his shoulder. He closed his eyes for a moment, then heard Shen Yi ask, "Brother, is that enough?"

Shen Yi licked his lips, still wanting more.

The restless fire in Fu Yuhe's heart had only just begun to die down when those words stoked it again.

He gave a cold laugh, gritted his teeth, straightened up, and gripped Shen Yi's chin. "Didn't you say you were going to tell Fu Cheng how his good older brother forced you?"

Shen Yi had indeed said that, right after their first kiss.

"Ah... you owe me two conditions now," Shen Yi said.

Fu Yuhe scoffed. "Fine."

He grabbed Shen Yi by the wrist and dragged him farther inside. Shen Yi stumbled as Fu Yuhe pulled him all the way to the bedside, then went along with the pull and sat down on the bed.

Fu Yuhe stood by the bed and looked down at him, his shadow falling over him. Shen Yi raised his head.

Fu Yuhe said, "Since that's what you threatened me with, wouldn't I be losing out if I didn't make it true?"

He tugged at his collar, and a few strands of his brushed-back hair fell loose. When his deep-set eyes looked down at someone, they carried a lofty disdain, and what he was doing with his hands was even sexier.

"Two conditions to sleep with you once. That's not a bad deal."

Author's note:

Fu Yuhe: I'll make you pay for what you did.

Shen Yi: More, more.

Chapter 19: I'm the one sleeping with you

The metal belt buckle made a crisp sound. Fu Yuhe's fingers paused, and he looked down at Shen Yi, who was staring intently at his belt. Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he let go and threaded all five fingers through Shen Yi's hair, forcing him to look up.

"What are you spacing out for?"

Shen Yi said, "Nothing."

His attention had simply been caught by those hands with their prominent knuckles undoing the belt.

The next second, Fu Yuhe, his anger still lingering, roughly pushed Shen Yi down onto the bed. He knelt with his black-trousered legs on either side of Shen Yi's legs and pressed down on his shoulders. Shen Yi's unexpected compliance left Fu Yuhe feeling stifled.

Why isn't he resisting?

Does he not care what happens?

"Was that first kiss a lie?" Fu Yuhe asked, gripping Shen Yi's chin.

As a grown man, Fu Yuhe wasn't actually so hung up on a first kiss. He only wanted something "special" to prove that Shen Yi's feelings for him had some truth to them.

Shen Yi tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing in his slender neck. "No," he said.

"I never lied to you."

Fu Yuhe stared at him for a few seconds. "If you dare lie to me-"

He left the warning at that and said no more.

Fu Yuhe tossed Shen Yi's jacket aside, grabbed the collar of his T-shirt, and leaned down to kiss him on the lips. Then, feeling he was being too gentle with him, he forcefully pushed his tongue between Shen Yi's lips and kissed him deeply.

Shen Yi remained as obedient as a tamed little animal throughout.

Fu Yuhe didn't know that, in Shen Yi's eyes, he looked especially sexy at that moment, brimming with forceful aggression. The desire showing in his eyes was especially attractive too, enough that Shen Yi had become a little interested in the "sleeping together once" he had mentioned.

He wrapped both arms around the back of Fu Yuhe's neck and held him, presenting himself for the taking. Fu Yuhe couldn't resist the temptation, but at some point, without his noticing, Shen Yi had taken control of their kiss.
